Bro, the majority still goes neuron activated when **Target Destroyed** happens. People with over 1k hours. It feels good to know that bad shot turned out to be such a good shot.
You should do the IS2(1944) since its lfp was fixed from 24 degrees to 30 degrees making it immune to the short 88mm, M26 and T26E5 90mm and the panthers 75mm(partially) and the american and british 76mm and it recieved BDsh smoke grenades.
Now it will go up to 6.7 and have the same problem as tiger 2 ... so basically, it's armour just got a huge neft as it will be fighting tanks with HEAT.
@@wifi_soldier5076 i doubt that since its turret is really weak the turret cheeks and coupola are too weak for the IS2(1944) to be moved up to 6.7 also the reload is too long even with an ace crew and its still weak to the long 88mm gun and the 90mm guns of the T32 and T26E1-1
@@wifi_soldier5076Nah the armor is still way worse, you can pen the turret with 115-140mm of pen reliable, they not comparable, any pen to the lower plate is a one 1 hit kill, It doesn't have a front transmission to protect It against APHE penetrations, and the interior is very cramped.
The IS-2 (1944) already had a 30° LFP. It was the IS-1 and 2 that had 24° LFPs. The IS-2 (1944) though got a new armor scheme and with it the LFP is now 130 mm thick even even though there was no bug report for it. *That* is why it stop the rounds you mentioned.
The Sherman and the Pershing actualy have the same turret ring. So all it takes to make a M4/T26 is pull the sherman turret out, put the Pershing turret in and do some rewirering. This thing would have been mass produced too but the ordinance department expected the Pershing to enter service alot sooner then it turned out to do. Defenetly one of those "what if" vehicles of ww2.
Army Ground Forces and the Armor Board really didn't like the reduced ammo stowage on the 90mm Pershing. A 90mm Sherman would have even less ammo and would have to give up the wet stowage. In the end AGF was right and Ordinance (who was pushing for the Pershing to be fielded ASAP) was right. The early Pershing wasn't a very good tank. It took several years of development to iron out all the kinks.
I think it's alright tbh, panther has a miniscully better pen, but a small fraction of the explosive filler, no turret traverse, and non-existent side armor. This thing has bad armor all around, but it gets a .50 cal, decent traverse, and a fat 140 grams of filler
@@wokedog1799 This thing gets one-tapped by literally everything in a German 6.0 lineup besides SPAA and its only saving grace is a gun that's on-par with the 88mm.

This tank seems to be pretty decent for the 6.0 BR, especially by the way your were taking out the German tanks 😂. However the 5.7 makes sense since 7.0 is a little too much BR for it, agreed. Good vid :)
a tiger E can do pretty much everything this sherman does but better , makes 0 sence for it to be so high in BR , if it had a stabilizer sure i could understand but it dont
@@LiterallyTheByn this thing trades the stabilizer the m4a3 76 has with a better turret armor and better gun, so i'd say 5.7 is fine, also the m36b2 is at 5.7 and this thing is like that except it has better armor but no heat
1:44 I’ve also noticed with the new crew voices that they will call out the specific model of a tank you’ve scouted. I’ve noticed it with T34s but I don’t know how many unique ones they’ve implemented.
Hey Spook, you should play the Semovente 75/46 M43. It's a deeply overshadowed italian tank destroyer which can deliver an heavy punch but it's deeply ignored the potential it has. (Day 47)
5:42 it only damaged the turret ring because the turret ring armor of a Tiger I is 164 mm thick in total, it is 82 mm of the turret + 82 mm neck armor, so the 90mm round barely had enough penetration to only damage the horizontal mechanism
Random suggestion: Please play the M3 Lee. After your video walking about it, I've come to love its turbo-jank design and would greatly enjoy seeing you play it more.
Do you know what else is a cool hybrid? The combination of the Saurer APC and the FL-12 turret from the AMX-13 105. If such a tank existed in War Thunder it would be cool to see you play it (Day 48).
Huge tip for Spooker and everyone out there; use Cruise Control, it forces your vehicle to drive at the max possible speed of the specific gear. Helps out a lot when driving up a hill.
I've never tried that tbh. I usually use Cruise Control when I am in a really slow tank on a huge map. Mainly when I play the Maus on my dad's account, because sadly I don't have it. Great tip btw.
AGREED!!! such a good quality of life improvement, even for just driving at the start of a match when you would normally be holding W for near 2 minutes. just saves your hands from cramping after playing for a long time
A lot of vehicles need a high driver skill to get any value out of CC. Better off using the default CC binds as manual gear selection binds, instead. For WWII era stuff with stabilizers 2nd gear max RPM is usually the threshold where the stabilizer is still good enough to get shots on target and being able to hold that manually and pick the optimal gear for inclines can wring a lot of performance out of each spawn
Are you ever gonna make a video on the CV-90 105? You've never used it in a video and the tank is quite interesting. It would be really cool to possibly hear a quick history lesson on the swedish CV-90 tanks
Hey Spookston. I would like to see you play the Semovente 90/53 M41M. It's a pretty good TD despite it's round count (I have had some decent results with it in the past). I'll call this Day 1/ Attempt 1 for asking for this.
4:20 that part reminded me of that part of the Maw from halo one before the warthog run where most people just rocket launcher all those dudes into oblivion
IMO this thing should be at 5.7. It’s a genuine side grade with many trade offs to offset the improvements. The T25 should be 5.7 (unless the armor gets fixed/transmission fixed/stabilizer is back) - 6.0 in its place. The M26 Pershing 6.0 (unless its armor gets fixed) - 6.3 in its place. Too many mid tier American Medium’s, and Heavies get shafted. The T26E5 would be a great 6.7 if it didn’t have holes in its volumetric mantlet that shouldn’t exist (I literally do better in the M26, and survive more shots to my turret in it, than I do the T26E5). It should be 203mm most of the way, but towards the upper part of the mantlet you can pen it with the weakest shell the IS-2 has at 400meters or farther when it should struggle especially since it’s 203mms ANGLED at the upper end with angled 152mm - 190mm behind that... It’s ridiculous. The US tree gets shafted on the modeling side of things.
fun fact they also call in the distance when you range find in voice before the measurement comes in so you basically have a laser range finder at all br's now
