I think a good April Fools event would be an ultra-realistic game mode where all the vehicles handle like they would in real life: engines killing themselves if your drivers’ stat isn’t high enough, tanks without certain components that were hard to come by during their production run, paper tanks spawning as their mock up, limited fuel and special effects for the crew like fume inhalation. It would be a nightmare but, like, a funny nightmare.
Yeah and also powertrain and armament damage is unfixable in field and track repair takes 5 hours in-game time. Turret rotation device damage can only be fixed if the vehicle had a hand-crank backup. For every non-pen hit on your vehicle, 10% chance crew bails out. Pen non-damage 25% chance. Stacking 50% chance of crew bailing for every dead crewmember (50% -> 75% -> 100%)
@@Haaton-of-the-Basement the Chi To and Chi Nu II are real though, it just arrived too late to be an influence. Not sure about the Chi Ri II, but the Ho Ris are pretty much just fabrication
Would love to see a series where spookman plays vehicles using their bad high tier ammo. Would help to educate those who use HEAT/apds over solid shot/aphe
Genuinely had a guy the other day call me a slur because I brought a fighter into ground RB after I shot him down in his 262a1/u4. Bro got clowned by the whole lobby
Spookston: "It only turned his ammo red" My ammo: A single piece of ammo was hit by a single piece of shrapnel and was turned the approximate color of mayonnaise. All that remains is the crater, and my turret which cleared the crater
One vehicle that I think might be interesting is the Type 5 Ke-Ho, which was an attempt to make the Type 1 Chi-He into a light tank. One prototype was completed before the surrender, and it was to have the same 47mm gun as the Shinhoto Chi-Ha and the Chi-He, 8-20mm of armor, a 150 horsepower diesel engine for a top speed of 50 KPH, and weigh 10 tons.
In WoT the gun performance isn't good enough to justify becoming a slightly larger target (it's wider, same height), and while the speed is noticeable, it's also not a gun that really lends itself to the HSTV-L tactic of getting into insane positions instantly. It's definitely a neat vehicle but even in a full simulator I think you can do better for the time period, steel, and given how it wasn't serialized... It lives or dies on fake stat additions like a lower reload time or a wider shrapnel cone. In WoT it's just HP for speed which is a neutral trade.
6:15 apparently zimmerit did improve camouflage, and given the fact that its similar in consistency (and application) to mortar I think thats a perfectly fine observation
Im super excited for this tank. I remember the 6.7 br range being rough for Sweden when I was going up the tree. I love the Tiger 2 is so good when used correctly. Also I'm excited for your villiain arc. Please continue this.
0:33 because it is longer! Not the chassis but the turret is, because it's not a production variant of tiger 2, it's one of the prototypes that France sold to Sweden(as you said)
You should give the Sargeant Bork (the VEAK 40) a try. It got it's proxy fuse shells removed in a recent patch, but in return got moved down almost a full BR to 7.7, where it now rules the skies. It's really good at killing anything that comes closer than 2km, and at 7.7 you will frequently downtier to 6.7 and see prop planes, so this would be a great opportunity to get some revenge against those pesky CAS birds
23rd time challenging Spookston to bring the Char 25t into an 8.3 lineup, and then incrementally increase the BR to find when the tank becomes unironically unplayable.
Attempt 27 Challenge: For high tier support a nations MBT with its respective APC/IFV counterpart (ie Abrams/Bradley, T90/BMP2M, etc.) Challenge is keeping the other player alive and supporting it without stealing kills (breaking barrels, tracking, repairing, etc) it being a random should help make it interesting.
probably not his cup of tea, since air RB is a lot more about positioning and gaining altitude rather than running around the corners and shooting people
Day 69 You should play a tank with hydropneumatic suspension (recommend the MBT-70) But the catch is you have to drop the suspension as low as it can go for the whole match.
@@tdlf156 it's not even close to being the worst tank, that title could go to any of the French 1.0 turds. What the M11/39 lacks in turret traverse and pen it more than makes up for with explosive filler and fire rate.
The is-2 without its extra metal covering tracks and stuff looks extremely cursed as well. Kinda like side skirts but I’m not sure if they’d be considered as suxh
Hey Spookston, love how you edit the small montages of tanks from WT into the video (like the ho-ri). It must take extra time, but i want to say its worth it! I enjoy it a lot :)
0:23 Now that you said it, I would really love for them to add the Emil. I loved how they looked ever since I saw them for the first time in WoTB (especially the tier 9 and 10 variant).
I want to learn to relove the KTs. Trouble is I bare too many old scars from the bad old days where the long 88mm used to bounce off of ZSU57s and couldnt fight against the T54s and IS3/4s it would commonly fight.
notice how once spookston started playing planes regularly, the game rewarded him by letting random beneficial glitches (like rounds teleporting through his tank) happen
Day 4 of asking for the italian AB 43. it's like a mini italian Puma, and the only downsides are the gun depression and turret traverse. I find it to be my workhorse even at a full br above where it sits.
100% realistic game play. I loaded M60's and could load within 4 seconds from ammo rack to breech. Quicker if I was carrying a round in my arms waiting for the gunner to shoot.
I'd love to see you play the STB-2. It's fast, low profile and the APDS is surprisingly reliable in my experience, not to mention a laser rangefinder and stabiliser.
Spookston POV: All enemy players are totally oblivious to him and Non-Pen’s all their shoots My POV: Every enemy player knows where i am and proceeds to shoot all my weakspots 💀
It's crazy how people think the king tiger is bad. Even in a full uptier it can easily kill anything it faces, its practically stabilized in cities or generally flat-ish ground, and in downtiers it just flattens everything and basically just lets you solo a cap point.
Also it is tremendously slow, lacking any sign of maneuverability, has no side armor (Speaking of frontal armor, Porsche has no armor at all, H'sl armor at 6.7 is pretty debatable) which is making you an easy pray for anything nimble. Ah, yes, and King Tiger is so massive, that is nearly impossible to not get bullied by CAS. So gun, which has an amazing penetration and reloading speed, but not the best damage out there, is pretty much the one and only advantage of this tank. IMHO, KT, relatively to wonderful american heavies is worse for the reality of War Thunder. But it is, again in my opinion, better than IS-2.
You forgot the other historically accurate Tiger II part where every 4-5 games it will just break down and you have no choice but to J out. Speaking of hit boxes. My favorites are the trees who's hitbox is 10 feet larger than the model so either your plane explodes against empty air, or you knock down a tree from 5 feet away giving away your epic flank.
"It looks longer"; I think it is ever so slightly longer than the other Tiger IIs in the game. The Swedish Tiger has an entirely new model that is not only higher resolution (with actually detailed internals) but is also the correct size/scale/dimensions. The German Tiger IIs have models that are not 100% accurate
