Hey everyone, this is a little difficult to write but things aren't going great on my end. You might've seen my twitter post joking about having food poisoning, turns out it wasn't food poisoning. My kidney function has deteriorated enough to the point where my blood is slightly acidic, which makes me extremely nauseous and tired pretty much constantly. I got prescriptions to try and make it more tolerable but they don't help much. I've been struggling to get any work done, so I've had to dig into the stockpile I've been building up for when I am recovering from a transplant. I hope I can push through it, but IDK. That's part of why the historical video is taking so long. Just thought I would give you guys an update. I might scale back how much editing I put into these, just to bring the stockpile back up. Would you guys be ok with that?
Good breakthrough tank in practive. They have to aim while generally you can shoot them on the move if its a down tier. In an uptier tho.... Not really.
I remember when tanks first came out and both tiger 2s were almost impenetrable unless you were shooting it’s side, and even then it wasn’t easy. Oh how times have changed on warthunder.
i still remember the jagdtiger, only aiming at the lower front plate was possible to pierce using the most powerfull enemy weapon, the 122mm aphe but even then you would die 9/10
“Marsch” basically is a shorter version of “Marschieren” which means marching. By that he simply said march forward. But if you are german, you should’ve known that. Still, hope this helps.
U can say "Abmarsch" If you Drive in a convoy :D and "marsch Marsch" is the Order to Run/ Jogging in the infantry. Or in this Case top Drive faster. Sometimes U can say "abmarsch" to your Childs If your Finish with scold him :D
@@nightmaresecurity2912 There is even more distinction here as "Marsch, Marsch!" means flooring it in a vehicle and on foot it means get your lazy feet going and god help you if you dont pick up speed. When only "Marsch" (or for vehicles, TCs usually say "Vorwärts/Rückwärts, Marsch!") is said its meant at a more normal speed, e.g. like 15km/h - 25km/h or something the line. Basically TC here told driver to floor it and get going fast and keep fast.

Hey there Spookston I hope you get well. Also: at 4:48 the crew said Marsch, Marsch which is a command to march forward/advance and is the germaan crew line for "Advance!"
Yeah this tank is definitely nice to use, and having such a good cannon is so satisfying. I bought this tank's package maybe a month ago and i spent about two weeks or so using it to grind the tree so i could get to the maus. I went from no progress to tier V in that two or three weeks. (obviously the premium time from the bundle also helped), but it also showed me just what i was missing with premiums. IT'S ACTUALLY NUTS. This was the first premium i had ever bought and i had no clue they were THAT effective for grinding.
@@alexzavala5078 while playing through the tech tree you will eventually end up in a state where your vehicles just suck ass and that halts progress, instead of that you can buy a premium and get your tree up to speed quickly. You also get more research points with the higher tier vehicles than t1s. And on top of all of these I believe there is a small extra progress you get if you use premium vehicles
I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a downtier in the Tiger 2. I used to make the mistake of playing WAY too aggressively with it and getting slapped by someone lmao
@@marshall1896 I'm planning to buy either the SLA 16 or the TURM III and the Somua SM plus premium time and crew for this anniversary as my first purchases in WT. Don't worry I'll have my own V2 launch soon.
@DeathMonkeys This is one of the most braindead takes I have ever heard. In what way is it bad? You have good armor, the mobility of a medium tank, the long 88 is great with a great APHE, reload time is decent, and you practically have a low speed stabilizer on smooth ground. Name one thing that makes it not good
I remember a few months back, I was in a King Tiger with three other squad mates (friends) and we were stuck and couldn't push the enemy back so I singlehandedly, decided to push all by myself, and this scared the enemy as now they decided to concentrate fire on just me which encouraged my team to push them and take the point, my friends and I were laughing all the way until the game ended and won
The churchill is meant to played kinda like that too but just because the thing is so awful you can't flank or do damage anyways so you're just the damage sponge
I’ve done something similar with the Churchill III, just used to stab and the shot mk 8 to just cruise through the enemy with my allies behind me. I’d angle and become portable cover for my allies with the stronger guns to use. I always pull the Churchill out when I want to “siege breaker” my way to a point.
I find it funny that in your last match, the AML-90 you summoned at the beginning was the one that got credit for you J'ing out at the very end. He really was the only one to actually damage you huh.
Here's hoping that you feel better Spookston, the WT community wouldn't be the same without you. Also, could you do a video on the Sturer Emil? While most just see it as a CAS magnet, the 128mm gun is just a blast to use.
American tanks when Spookston plays the Tiger II: Blindfolds are tactical equipment, right? American tanks when I play the Tiger II: Snipers are masters of patience, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
Personally the Tiger II is a mixed bag, whenever I play it I always go up against HEAT slingers or when it's the least convenient times. Still a great all-rounder heavy tank.
I feel that but also it's gun it's mobility it's armor it's just a really powerful tank. It's crazy , and then! the 105 variant has like 400 hundred more hp.
Wish you a speedy recovery, man. Your videos have been a solid source of entertainment AND a learning resource for the past... Sheesh, few years? For me !
I heard and i could very well be wrong but the reason the bulldog survived the bomb was because you have invisible spawn protection until you move a bit but i think you can still shoot and have the spawn protection. Good tip for AA

This is exactly where I stopped in the German tech tree because I never have fun playing these things. They're just little firecrackers because of the ammo storage in the turret. I have a lot of fun getting my heavy tank kills for tasks off of them though
7:19 it only fixed your tracks because if your tracks get destroyed, it will automatically start repairing it without having to press anything, but only the tracks so the reason your canon didn’t get fix because you didn’t press the repair button (I hope you get well though.❤)
Saw your comment about your health, wish u all the best man. Your wellbeing has priority over everything else. Take all the time you need, I know what it's like to be in such pain. Wish u all the best! Still I would like to leave this here: Video/Attempt 150 at asking Spookston to do a video on the XM-803 don't understand me wrong tho, I'm not trying to pressure u... It's just become a bit of a habit of mine to leave this request on every single one of your vids since I started :) Again, take your time, maybe even take a break from youtube.

While I’ve always in my mind preferred the thought of a stronger turret than hull. Since you always have to show it to shoot. The tiger 2 has always reminded me just how nice a reliable and strong hull is, sure the turret face isn’t all that but it’s small enough and isn’t weak. It helps that the long 88 is amazing too.
@@9000k4 that is literally false, also enjoy facing the T10M or even the T10A. half the shit at 8.0 and up can upper front plate you and your cheeks are worthless so enjoy getting ammo racked 24/7
I honestly don't understand why Gaijin think the IS-2 and IS-2 (1944) are equivalent to the Tiger II(P) and Tiger II(H). The only difference between the IS-1 and IS-2 is the gun, which is less of an upgrade and more of a tradeoff, cause sure, the 122 hits like a freight train, but it also takes forever to reload. Despite this, it apparently warrants a whole BR raise to 6.3 from 5.3. Not to mention, both the 1943 and 1944 IS-2s have a massive lower front plate and a 100mm thick turret cheek that can get penned by anything at that BR. The Tiger IIs have similar mobility, better armor, and a gun that reloads 3× as fast with similar armor penetration that still generally one-shots its enemies.
Take care of yourself Spookston, work isnt worth hurting your health over. Im sure everyone of your subscribers would understand if you need to take a break. Im not very religious, but Im praying for you man. Good luck and best wishes for your health. You the goat bro.
i hope everything works out great for you, your videos are up there with the best in terms of information and humor, wish you the best. On another note, tried out the tiger 105 and panther 2 lineup, with the 50mm 262 as cas. that lineup is absolutely brutal, the tiger 105 gets a super fast long range rangefirnder, easy to aim gun with 250mm aphe oneshot king, and an upgraded engine with 900hp. It recently also got a buff to its reload, and you can get it down to 13 seconds, thats just brutal, test it out if you have the time or energy, again hope it works out for you :D
Imagine just unlocking this (or even the Porsche variant), starting up your first match only to be greeted with a full uptier vs an IS-3, IS-4M, or, heaven forbid, an IS-6
Or the t32 and t25e5, i really struggle against all of these tanks. Of course spookston gets constant downtiers which makes the tiger 2 extremely good and maybe even overpowered, but in uptierd its close to useless in my opinion
@@sneeuwkabouter9319 Its not usless. Just can kill only centurions (paper armor) and m48`s (same, but only on lower "bathtub") and light tanks. T-54? Now you screwed. IS-3? Prey he is stupid and show sides/let his barrel be shot.
Hey Spookston, I hate to hear that you aren't doing well. Here's hoping you can recover soon and get back to feeling like your old self again. Cheers! Oh and SU-122P or something, I don't know. (re-attempt 14 I guess?)
I wouldn't be surprised if the T14 Armada used a variation of the Tiger 2 Engine though. Considering Russia's track record of underperforming, nonexistent, and/or outright shitty tanks. Although I do wish you a speedy Recovery Spookston. Might not play WT as much as I used to. But it definitely is nice to watch.
I'm a German tank main at 7.0 with my premium Tiger 2. And I must say the Tiger 2 (H) does not suffer, German 6.0-5.0 is what suffers. Ever since I made it to 7.0 I play the game way more now, plus Russian tanks don't stand a fucking chance. The amount of times a opponent has reversed and just hid until I leave them alone or I get outnumbered THEN they attack. The only thing that is suffering at 7.0 is the fact everyone is too scared to engage you. Sobbing and having a cry-wank waiting for u to push and camping.
Wanna hear something funny? My max BR with Germany is 6.7. I got up tiered to a mf A-10 Warthog! Plus a rakentuaten or whatever it’s called. The A-10 is 10.7 and the dual Recoilless Rifle tank is 8.0.
I ran into a King Tiger in a Object 122MT MC yesterday. I think the game took pity on that player, too, because the session ended after my opening sabot shot disabled the turret crew *_but_* before my follow-up ATGM finished off the driver.
if you didnt know, there was once a homeless woman, she was an old homeless woman addicted to things, begging for money, spookston found that lady, and instead of giving her money he took get into his home and raised her like his own, he actually helped her not be addicted to anything anymore and they found out she was pregnant the whole time, the womans daughter grew up to be taylor swift; yeah, you heard me, so to all the switfies out there, pay your respects to this man
>hit T95 >it bounces >you start backing up in fear, knowing impending doom is coming >ATGM immediately obliterates it ah, I remember now why I quit war thunder

@@9000k4 that is literally false, also enjoy facing the T10M or even the T10A. half the shit at 8.0 and up can upper front plate you and your cheeks are worthless so enjoy getting ammo racked 24/7
@@JustSlightly yeah have fun against 152mm apfsds
I honestly don't understand why Gaijin think the IS-2 and IS-2 (1944) are equivalent to the Tiger II(P) and Tiger II(H).
The only difference between the IS-1 and IS-2 is the gun, which is less of an upgrade and more of a tradeoff, cause sure, the 122 hits like a freight train, but it also takes forever to reload. Despite this, it apparently warrants a whole BR raise to 6.3 from 5.3. Not to mention, both the 1943 and 1944 IS-2s have a massive lower front plate and a 100mm thick turret cheek that can get penned by anything at that BR.
The Tiger IIs have similar mobility, better armor, and a gun that reloads 3× as fast with similar armor penetration that still generally one-shots its enemies.
As a german I can tell y’all: The german crew yells „Marsch, Marsch!“ („March, March!“) all the time.
5:00 the guy said "marsch marsch" which is basically equivalent to the american "floor it"
Take care of yourself Spookston, work isnt worth hurting your health over. Im sure everyone of your subscribers would understand if you need to take a break. Im not very religious, but Im praying for you man. Good luck and best wishes for your health. You the goat bro.
i hope everything works out great for you, your videos are up there with the best in terms of information and humor, wish you the best. On another note, tried out the tiger 105 and panther 2 lineup, with the 50mm 262 as cas. that lineup is absolutely brutal, the tiger 105 gets a super fast long range rangefirnder, easy to aim gun with 250mm aphe oneshot king, and an upgraded engine with 900hp. It recently also got a buff to its reload, and you can get it down to 13 seconds, thats just brutal, test it out if you have the time or energy, again hope it works out for you :D
4:53 He actualy sayed "Marsch, Marsch". it means something like "go, go"
4:50 "Marsch Marsch " "go go"
Imagine just unlocking this (or even the Porsche variant), starting up your first match only to be greeted with a full uptier vs an IS-3, IS-4M, or, heaven forbid, an IS-6
Or the t32 and t25e5, i really struggle against all of these tanks. Of course spookston gets constant downtiers which makes the tiger 2 extremely good and maybe even overpowered, but in uptierd its close to useless in my opinion
@@sneeuwkabouter9319 Its not usless. Just can kill only centurions (paper armor) and m48`s (same, but only on lower "bathtub") and light tanks. T-54? Now you screwed. IS-3? Prey he is stupid and show sides/let his barrel be shot.
The average German experience. I've made a list over 100 matches, 76 full uptiers, 3 full downtiers.
Hey Spookston, I hate to hear that you aren't doing well. Here's hoping you can recover soon and get back to feeling like your old self again. Cheers!
Oh and SU-122P or something, I don't know. (re-attempt 14 I guess?)
A nuclear, almost invincible little bugger? Sounds fun, i would`ve even gotten one on sale, if not for BB that i want to buy.
I got it today and EVERY MATCH HAS BEEN AN UPTIER
AM I GONA HAVE TO BECOME A UA-camR FOR THAT SWEET UA-camR LUCK?
Me getting 7 kills by staying in one spot using tiger 2: I fucking suffer..
the fact that the Tiger E, and Panther G is now 6.0 is just dumb, whose idea was it to put it at that br range
I wouldn't be surprised if the T14 Armada used a variation of the Tiger 2 Engine though. Considering Russia's track record of underperforming, nonexistent, and/or outright shitty tanks.
Although I do wish you a speedy Recovery Spookston. Might not play WT as much as I used to. But it definitely is nice to watch.
They still use variationof bt-7 engine in t-90, so if they use varition of the tiger 2 engine that would be definetly nort a surprise :)
@@juuzous5650 It wouldn't be a surprise at this point. It may not be the exact same engine, but it'd definitely share qualities.
you should play the Strv M/42 EH next, it has pretty decent armor, pretty good mobility and a very good APHE round
I'm a German tank main at 7.0 with my premium Tiger 2. And I must say the Tiger 2 (H) does not suffer, German 6.0-5.0 is what suffers. Ever since I made it to 7.0 I play the game way more now, plus Russian tanks don't stand a fucking chance. The amount of times a opponent has reversed and just hid until I leave them alone or I get outnumbered THEN they attack. The only thing that is suffering at 7.0 is the fact everyone is too scared to engage you. Sobbing and having a cry-wank waiting for u to push and camping.
Wanna hear something funny? My max BR with Germany is 6.7. I got up tiered to a mf A-10 Warthog! Plus a rakentuaten or whatever it’s called. The A-10 is 10.7 and the dual Recoilless Rifle tank is 8.0.
4:55 the commander called out "Marsch, marsch!", which is the callout for full engine power.
4:49 he said "Marsch Marsch" means something like "go go "
I ran into a King Tiger in a Object 122MT MC yesterday. I think the game took pity on that player, too, because the session ended after my opening sabot shot disabled the turret crew *_but_* before my follow-up ATGM finished off the driver.
Day 3 of asking spookston to play warthunder on Xbox
Yeeesss
the tiger II would be really good if 90% of the time it wasnt in a full uptier
4:49, he said: "Marsch, Marsch!" Which u can translate to "Go, Go!"
the tiger commander basically told the driver "faster faster" or "hurry hurry" is what you heard in german when climbing the hill
Day 29 of asking spookston to play the ikv 103
Sending good wishes for improvement your way, playing the Sau 40 might help with your condition though
Attempt #52
Day 2 of asking for the French jagdpanther the amx-50 Foch
4:48 He says: " marsch, marsch". Nice Video. ❤
I love the little “hi” in your videos spookston
The T-14 genuinely does use a "further modification" of the Sla.16 engine
if you didnt know, there was once a homeless woman, she was an old homeless woman addicted to things, begging for money, spookston found that lady, and instead of giving her money he took get into his home and raised her like his own, he actually helped her not be addicted to anything anymore and they found out she was pregnant the whole time, the womans daughter grew up to be taylor swift; yeah, you heard me, so to all the switfies out there, pay your respects to this man
11:39 who are u?….. oh..
12:09
"Fahrer, schnell!" (Driver, fast!")
Driver: it will be done, my lord
"Now watch this drive" will always make anything funny as a follow up line, especially on that KV
0:00 how it feels using King Tiger against 7.7 tanks
What’s the music?
13:01 me every time I have to take 40 seconds to replace a gun sight only to die a second before im done
The komander didnt say "Macht Macht" but he said "Marsch Marsch" It means "Go Go" like go faster and hi from germany
At 4:48, the commander is saying "Marsch, marsch!" which is a short command for ordering the driver to go forwards at the highest speed possible.
the tank commander says marsch marsch so march march which is basically telling the driver what speed to go
Cant believe how much I rewatched this video. Spookston please make more Tiger 2 videos.
>hit T95
>it bounces
>you start backing up in fear, knowing impending doom is coming
>ATGM immediately obliterates it
ah, I remember now why I quit war thunder
4:48 He says " Marsch, Marsch" wich just "Go ahead"
4:54 Spoopi Enjoying His Hotel Building on Tracks:
10:19 Your right to a point. The A853 is bacicly a similar engine to the SLA but it has been modified, including cutting it down from 16 pistons to 12. It’s bacicly a smaller SLA.
4:49 I'm pretty sure it was "mehr Macht" meaning literally "more power" so probably the commander telling the driver "HANS GET THE LEAD OUT"
4:57 he's saying "Marsch, Marsch" basically translates into "Forward, forward"
11:57 Ow my lungs!
You don't hear that on gaming vids too often lol
7:50 nice Bush reference lol
this tank is so good, the one thing nobody ever talks about on it is how stable it is, yes its not stabalized but its as close as can be
4:48 macht macht" means power power," they say that when going uphill, basically calling out to the driver to drop the gear to get more power.
Spookston is so powerful when he sneezes an explosion happens 11:55
4:50 The Commander gives the command "Marsch, Marsch". Short dir Marschier, which is just 'March' in English. Basically a command to move.
4:48 "Marsch Marsch" -> "march march" old german saying for hurry up
4:48 the commanders says '' March, march!'' wich basically means ''Go, go!''
