He should just play the IS-2 again. It only gets full up tiers, and despite having 200 mils of penetration and a shitton of explosives, it doesn’t penetrate or doesn’t do any damage at all. Twice I had an American tank driver eat the entire 122 millimetre shell and then die because of that
It's kind of silly that Gajin wants to make this game an Esport but meanwhile put it top tier where there's nothing but just straight up unbalanced gameplay as the only tanks that get their full Arsenal are the Russian tanks. Meanwhile the US tanks are still missing half of it.
It mainly shattered because he hit the muzzle brake on the tank infront of him first. It has happened to me quite a lot. You can see the hit impact before it hits the Leo.
the real crazy thing is that in real life to my knowledge APDS actually has better post pen damage than APFSDS does (to an extent, it does kinda depend on multiple factors) so once again it is laughable at how Gaijin unironically thinks that a 6kg+ APDS round passing through a tank at mach 4 does less damage than like 57mm APHE or APFSDS like from the 2S38 but yep no bias here
I think they changed the APDS by giving the earlier APDS more flat penetration but significantly worse angled penetration while giving later APDS (using better tungsten alloys) less flat pen and slightly more angled pen.
Yup, a good comparison is between the Chieftain and the Conq. Chief APDS spalls like APFSDS and is significantly better than what the Conq has at the same caliber.
That'll be because they switched from Tungsten Carbide on the Conq to Tungsten Alloy in the Chief. Carbide gives much better pen but doesn't spall as much as alloy.@@barronhelmutschnitzelnazi2188
The sad part is: i love the looks of it. It looks so big and agressive with its 120mm and then its just a glorified independant with how shit its damage is and how many times your shell shaters. its like non penning
nothing is better then outplaying the enemy, always firing first and hitting weak points, surviving the long reload and doing it again, and again and again and never getting any kills because you are shooting high pen potatoes and tank crews fight on after getting huge lumps of spall and brains on them
I just play the Caenarvan instead since it spalls almost the same with a faster reload. Turret is less trolly, but it does better in situations with more than one enemy nearby
I was going to comment on this video but then my com... "SHELL SHATTERED". But really, I love the Conq. It deserves so much better, APDS deserves so much better. Cannot believe we are going to get FOX-3s before working APDS.
For what it's worth, I have noticed quite a bit more overall positivity in your recent videos. Like you've been able to squeeze more fun out of the vehicles you play. Which is great to see! While depresso Spook is funny, a happy Spook is just a delight.
Conq suffering ayy And I swear, having played both recently, the Caernarvon at the same BR with less than half the reload and a slightly more consistently damaging solid shot, is genuinely so, so much less painful
Cromwell would be very cool. The Cromwell 1 in particular is fantastic, low speed stabilizer and 6pdr with 120ish pen. Granted, solid shot, but still pretty good.
When it comes the the conqueror it is easily one of my favorite tanks in the game, if people struggle to one shot with the round i can understand that but as i am mostly a British main I'm quite used to the round type and can frequently 1 shot tanks, this tank has allowed me to win multiple 1v4-5 engagements and i am quite happy to see you make a video on it.
I really miss when the conqueror was good. The shell shatter mechanic was such a bad idea. APDS already had bad post pen damage, its one strength was it's penetration. Used to love playing my early cold war British tanks... now they're just useless

I would absolutely love to see you play the m42 Contraero at some point, it’s so incredibly good. As an Italian main we don’t get a lot of great vehicles but it’s definitely a diamond in the rough.
interestingly about SABOT is that on italian mbts i find it to be fine and sometimes do more damage than regular ap/apc i think its genuinely a British issue
Yea I’ve noticed this aswell. Most other nations APDS/HEAT/HESH does far, far better in post pen damage and consistency than US/UK ones, I think it’s genuinely just bias on gaijins part.
Specifically early APDS is modeled with more flat pen, but awful angled pen and spalling, and more modern APDS is the opposite,better angled pen and small with worse flat pen.
At a first glance I thought the title said “I desire this tank.” But I quickly realized it was the complete opposite, and completely understood as soon as I saw it was British
I remember having an absolute blast in the conqueror. Gaijin just listens to 90% of people who complain about inconvenience issues instead of balance issues and decide to pander to them besides listening to people who love and play struggle buses who are begging for just small changes that wouldn’t break anything.
It's really tragic. I remember when the Conqueror was able to bully IS3s with it's sabot. It was basically a lolpen cannon that was usually a one or two-shot kill so the long reload wasn't as much of a handicap. But that's fun, and Gaijin doesn't allow fun.
The worst thing is that the reload is entirely made up I've seen a challenger 2 loader(Challenger 2 also uses 120mm two piece ammo) load a shell in just under 5 seconds The cheiftan uses near exactly the same gun and ammo but it has a far shorter reload The reload is literally only that long to fuck with you

Hey Spookston, if you want another painful tank then try the AMX-13 (HOT). The ATGM changes gutted this tank, and now the launchers are only good past 100 or so meters because the launchers send them sky high.
Watching Spookston's chain of unfortunate events is a guilty pleasure of mine. I love your suffering content, man. It makes me feel a little better about my own suffering while playing this game.
I'd really love to see you play with the german Marder 1A3 or the one that comes before, it's a really fun vehicle with the missiles it gets! the 20mm is awesome at taking out planes and helis with the HE belt and the AP belt can take out any light tank that isnt a BMP (atleast for the older Marder)
While I agree the APDS is hit or miss, I still very much enjoy the magic Conq and although you may not make a follow up video I implore you to try the HESH before casting it down to the underworld. Not sure what they did but HESH is WILD rn; it overpressures like an HE while having the original spall affect as intended.
this is basically FV4004 Conway or how I feel playing it with sabot shattering and HESH getting only "Hit" after shooting a tank's side British tanks moment
To reduce camping and not playing the objective, what do you think about after capturing a zone. The spawn detection area increases on that part of the map behind the cap. It would prevent people from just driving past the objective and sitting just outside the enemy spawn. Also it would incentivize capturing as it would give you an advantage on your side of the map.
HESH indeed used to be pretty sweet. I loved the Ontos with HESH even in top tier, was very cheeky. It's... well, it's only marginally better than basic HE
I'm so happy I got to see Spookston play my favorite vehicle, but I'm so sad he got shafted with so many of his shots. I love the Conqueror so much, thanks Spookston for giving it a go and not just waving it off because it uses APDS and because it's British.

Watching Spookston's chain of unfortunate events is a guilty pleasure of mine. I love your suffering content, man. It makes me feel a little better about my own suffering while playing this game.
Day two of asking spookston to play a british tech tree tank he likes.
4:17 sppokstons editor did him dirty 😅
I'd really love to see you play with the german Marder 1A3 or the one that comes before, it's a really fun vehicle with the missiles it gets! the 20mm is awesome at taking out planes and helis with the HE belt and the AP belt can take out any light tank that isnt a BMP (atleast for the older Marder)
11:58 Yooo is that a clip from a Kentucky Ballistics vid? Wasnt expecting that lol
The bf3 thunder run ost and lost ost respectively in 10:37 and 10:40 was icing on the cake
I dont understand where all these 'shell shattered' problems go when I use apds. Its rarely a problem for me, rather its overpen or lack thereof.
You know what tank you won't despise, the M4a3 105(day 85)
bro wanted to say "yanking my tail" soooo bad
Spookston: i'm trying to be more positive during these games with solid shot
me: feeling the depression even though i'm not the one using it
"lets see if we can take out the M901"
(it was an m109)
Seeing the first shot in the video go straight through and simply hurt the driver was painful.
Immediately under this recommendation is a video with the tiltle "7.7 King The Conqueror"
While I agree the APDS is hit or miss, I still very much enjoy the magic Conq and although you may not make a follow up video I implore you to try the HESH before casting it down to the underworld. Not sure what they did but HESH is WILD rn; it overpressures like an HE while having the original spall affect as intended.
Rare footage of spookston not getting a nuke in a tank he calls bad
4:10 Magic spear 1 from AC7, very nice. Probably my favourite track from Ace combat
Decides to play conqueror?
shoots leopard in the side
turret rings eats apds
get shot
back to hangar
conqueror? in a nutshell
Literally the nerf jolt of WT.
this is basically FV4004 Conway
or how I feel playing it with sabot shattering and HESH getting only "Hit" after shooting a tank's side
British tanks moment
i got an ad for warthunder right as you zoomed in on the shell shattering on the leopard
To reduce camping and not playing the objective, what do you think about after capturing a zone. The spawn detection area increases on that part of the map behind the cap. It would prevent people from just driving past the objective and sitting just outside the enemy spawn. Also it would incentivize capturing as it would give you an advantage on your side of the map.
HESH indeed used to be pretty sweet. I loved the Ontos with HESH even in top tier, was very cheeky. It's... well, it's only marginally better than basic HE
4:10 I hear Magic Spear I very faintly playing in the background
I'm so happy I got to see Spookston play my favorite vehicle, but I'm so sad he got shafted with so many of his shots. I love the Conqueror so much, thanks Spookston for giving it a go and not just waving it off because it uses APDS and because it's British.
"That's kind of cool" you said that like a 1000 times
This is my favourite tank . I haven't seen shell shattered in over a year until this vid
4:50 Someone did find a document that showed the conqueror had an AP round in testing
