Not sure how they compare to Bunkers but they have a target size of 10 which makes them rather difficult to destroy with handheld AT coupled with it's suppression. Long range AT gun shots can also lead to frustration sometimes as well as I seem to recall. I feel like I long as you have ISG ready to counter battery any artillery built to counter the Flak then you're more likely to have success.

Flak Emplacements are one of the cheapest ways to get good anti-air in the game.

Or you could get an Ostwind

not exactly the cheapest option in terms of fuel, mp and pop compared to a flak emplacement.

It's actually more cost effective, thus "cheaper" than wasting fuel and pop for a useless turd that serves as target practice and hits the ground half the time

One question:
Why is it that the emplacement never suffers damage on the first 2-3 shots?
It's like a second health bar that is not repairable.

No, it's just a bug but the actual HP goes down

OKW doesn't have non doctrinal Ostwind and the Ostwind is still more expensive than the Flak Emplacement. It also has no issue hitting Air Targets.

Also they bundled in Bunkers with it now which is much better. If you want an emplacement to stop blobs get a Bunker. If you want super cheap anti air get the Flak.

You would be surprised how hard it is to kill a Flak Emplacement supported by a Bunker with tank traps and sandbags in front of it to absorb AT Gun shots.

Surely it would just destroy the sandbags itself?

Most of the time the flak doesn't hit the Sandbag, even if it does the extra survivability you get from it is worth it and it only takes like 2 seconds to drop (and its free). The Flak Emplacement is more of a supporting unit and does well considering the price and timing.
