War Thunder players have a joke that mid-tier German mains are a little oblivious, so someone asked me if I could emulate that gameplay as a challenge. I did so using the Panther G medium tank and it was actual suffering.

The German Tank Experience - Ігри
Edited by killerofal
Don't take the mid-tier German main jokes too seriously, every nation has a gamemode/BR where the players are clueless
Okay, but what about Sheridan?
That is just hightier russia too
Day 20 hey spookston you should try the M14/41 premium it's 47mm has 69mm of pen and it gets a 13mm mg personally I think it's a pretty fun low tier Italian tank
It will be all fine because its gonna be true...
russian winrates somehow being consistently bad across all BRs :clueless:
German mains are historically accurate late war German tank crew.
so they are not just half blind they are also half deaf :"x
Pretty much. A marder drove out in front of me yesterday and was just staring in my general direction as i positioned my swingfire. He did nothing. He just stood there.
Makes sense
Or we are reincarnated crew men from the german panzer divisions
@@bugarex6623 The one at Cologne?
Attempt number 20 at getting Spookston to play out any tank with a dozer blade, the catch is, he has to dig in before engaging targets. Movement around the map is allowed, but he has to dig in again before reengaging.
Especially the Russian designed dozer blades, in their unique fashion.
This is legitimately cruel
Edit: wait so you basically want Spookston to create a video where all his footage is of camping
@@darkninjacorporationso just a normal spookston vid?
@@ARockyRock LOL made me laugh, cant stand campers.
He can only like this comment so much until he eventually does it.
Spookston: "Don't listen to music while playing."
Me: Currently watching this video while playing.
Hey, it’s not music 😅
sometimes you have to listen to music or else the game is unsufferable
@@heliogonzalezsanchez8227 i got annoyed with getting shot by people i can't hear while doing that, so now i just don't even touch tanks if i wanna have fun on the game. i'll roll a j, put on some music and hop into air arcade, not even rb. games so much more enjoyable to me when i can fly around and shoot a few people while chilling out, then just hop right into another plane when i die.
the RP gains are terrible compared to what they used to be playing RB, but i'm actually enjoying the game for the first time in a long while, so it's worth it imo
@@heliogonzalezsanchez8227why not switch games or take a break if you aren't having fun?
"Look, 6 kills. That's not that many." - Spookston
😭😭😭
14:20 the simulator mode has you looking outside the tank only from the cupola which is cool (no peeking corners, but no nausea either), also reminds me of the early versions of the game.
also aiming through the actual sights instead of barrel
Which is how I always play the game. I feel like a god sniping weakspots, even with the sight's parallax@@jeijjj
On Enlisted you play as the commander but you get exposed if you want to look outside the cupola
i dont like that from sim because there is no commander outside :c
@@oniceguard9205 Play an M18 then :)
I'm sorry Spookston but you missed the MOST IMPORTANT PART of being a German tanker main. I quote from the holy book of Wehraboo Mains, ahem "Thou shalt ONLY drive towards the enemy spawn for that is the promised land, thou shalt ignore all caps and objectives for those are to be left to the scrubs, ignore the wounded around you for they are obviously unworthy, only within sight of the enemy spawn shall thy superior German engineered gun show its true power"
You could make this challenge worse.
You could make it a "One Man Challenge" where you can only drive if you're in the driver view, shoot in the sniper/gunner view and scout(look for enemies) in the commander view. That's the closest to having one guy manning a whole tank alone. The only advantage is that you can choose any vehicle for this challenge.
PS: commander gunner controls are allowed.
Hstv-l irl was able to be fully and completely operated with only 1 crew member, so if we were to stretch the limits here, driving the hstv-l would be really advantageous bc you would just be playing it like everyone else. :D
Spookston, can you play simulator battles? No, we have simulator battles at home.
The simulator battle:
Too unrealistic you didn't take full ammo load
Good video, but not the real german tank experience. For that, you need:
-Go with 15 more he shells and 20 more apcr.
-Rush the capture point. If all the team go to c, you go to c as the spearhead, if they go to a, you go to a as first line. Remember, you have a tiger and you are "invincible".
-Dont look at the corners, you go straight. You are "invincible".
-Dont shoot to weakspot, you big gun could decimate any tank in the world, the german tanks are the best, you are the best, if you shoot 5 rounds, one will penetrate.
-Dont hear the enemies. You are hearing Erika so loud that you can even hear your allies, so down the enemy motor sounds, increase the sound of the allies and then play with music and the game sound low.
-
The amount of teammates like that that I've had is insane...like sure I ain't no pro but I'm certainly not intending to fuel the German Main stereotype :/
@@toxic_cooper7308 same
As German main, I hate how you are so right lol especially shooting at the exact same spot and believing that one will pen
The smoke counter resetting after main gun rounds were specified was chefs kiss
CinemaSins moment
imagine third person being set as a commanders view were you're actually looking through the ports and can cycle through them and sniper view is the same
Play enlisted.
@@sillygoosexv6778 if the ai in that game weren’t absolute vegetables then I would…. Game is assssss
Then play Il-2 tank crew@@galacticmarshin4510
That's how you play tanks in Red Orchestra 2
People after finding out sim battles are a real thing
It’s the details that make Spook so good at what he does. When he clarifies the challenge rules and says “main gun only hits,” the “smoke missed” ding plays in reverse as tallies are removed.
It’s classy stuff.
I think Spookston made an agreement with the devil where he gets a lot of kills at any br but gets bombed in almost any tank, or its just a coincidence
1) I still want to see you play the Nashorn.
2) You doing well, despite the handicap just shows how good you are.
@@robertharris6092and how awful the other team is that is shown in the video.
@@robertharris6092 oh for sure. Im just surprised how many people are either looking at him directly and don't even fire, looking the other direction, drive right into him....etc
the live reaction cam is actually a really cool idea. you should do it more in future videos, even if it's kind of redundant when you're not restricted to sniper mode.
The added replay jokes are awesome it’s a really nice addition to these type of videos
Phenomenal editing in this video as always, thank you for your hard work and sacrifice funny dog man
This kind of content is pretty good imo, not specifically this challenge in particular, but just interesting challenges like this. It's a good change of pace from just doing different vehicles
Hi spookston! If you use select machine gun and scope in and out really fast you get into the commander mg scope
Hi I’m new to the game and a noob. Could you please elaborate?
@@samoerai6807 in your controls there is a button for select machine gun. It acts like your primary gun while selected, then you can press it again to go back to regular shooting
@@bingustheallmigty5850hi sorry for the late reply. Thanks for helping :). So you mean you have like a separate gunner view for your machine gun and main gun? I suppose this is only really useful when the machine gun is on top of the tank. Not so much when it’s asides the main gun as the gunner views would pretty much overlap.
@@samoerai6807 yeah you can only use it whw you have a commander mg
Enlisted gameplay
PERFECT COMMENT
the amound of times died from laugh from the live reactions. Wondefull vildeo as always spookston!!!!!!
spookston and your editor, i loved the use of the replays to add onto the content! if it isn’t much extra work i would love if you used those more often during gameplay 😊
As a German main yes my teammates are generally bad and it doesn't help that Germany has to fight Cold War tanks very early on
Also, you should have used Binos and driver viewport for that extra bit
I am also a German main and I feel bad for other German mains that are more decent at the game because we are just a meme at the moment.
@@robertharris6092 I agree that the US and Japan suffer with Germany although I think Germany especially with the recent BR changes is now unfairly matched
@@bigmonke7661it is what it is pal at leats you have a decent gun with good he filler and fast reload for a heavy tank
@@mote_vengador2832 The Tiger 2 sure but with the move of half the decent German tanks to 6.0 they have been outclassed
@@bigmonke7661 the panter isn't bad either it's a buffed centurion mk 1 without the downsides
Two things - I had a really good time watching this type of video from u, so I hope there ill be more of that. Second thing, to the "dont listen to music" advice - I play wt for fun (I know, wierd) and even tho I know I am trash, music makes the hole experience even more satisfying ;)
I’m so glad you accepted that challenge just reading it was funny enough but putting it into practice is an experience of its own
I have maximum respect to you for both taking up the challenge, despite the sickening handicap, and still managing to be more competent than the average German main.
Great video and awesome editing!
nice edit, i really liked the extra replay scenes ❤😊
Man this video was something else! Really enjoyed it, also felt claustrophobic 😂
I got motion sickness watching you play Spookston 😂
great editing!
the added replay clips are just, amazing lol
I'm addicted to watching Spookston videos, someone help me, I love how he's a CAS magnet and Gaijin's favorite player to get Gaijined as well lol.
those live reactions are amazing
I really think you should add replay clip edits like the ones in this video to all ur other videos. They are very funny.
The CnC Generals OSTs are so nostalgic D: Well-played despite the handicap Spook!
Adorable Unique Editing
Spook Showcasing Actual Skill
Great Vibe
Love watching your videos bro I don’t think you should do another one through the gunner site may be motion sickness
love the challenge video format
more please!
Bro i loved the editing in this episode
12:30 probably the only situation in the whole video where Spookston *should've* deployed smoke, and he still didn't. 😂
this was really funny to se you play as it is in real world for a tanker
This was actually a blast to watch 😂
A challenge where it actually makes spookston sick
Spookston getting the real gunner experience
watching spookston videos and i get bombarded every time with anime war thunder ads
3:59 you don’t know how many times I’ve died to that exact shot, and it’s often also just the enemy panicking and randomly guessing where to shot and just get lucky.
Spookston literally using 6 degrees (probably?) of FOV and still outperforming 90% of German main is true WT classic😂😂😂
Spookston now have tasted the feeling of playing as tank gunner in Hell Let Loose
Closes thing to Spookston playing a sim battle. I will take it.
I find it funny spookston tells us not to play with music because sound is important, yet I've been playing without sound for alot of my game play
Spookston, its been 116 videos
Where super pershing
The concept of smoke does not exist for Spookston
Hey spookston great vid as usual. Been subbed for a few years now but never really requested since your content as always been right on the mark. But today will be Day 1 of asking for you to play the KF41 LYNX. Suffering through the Hungarian tree is optional
Great video! Also vehicle suggestion: try playing the AMX50 S-something or the Souma they can be crazy good and feel they get underestimated
The "live reaction" edits made it much less disorienting for us viewers, thank you 😂
one of the best challenges lmao, good stuff. unironically still more useful than the average German main
I watched this while I ate, as usual... bad idea this time. At 12:30 when those two M36s were blasting while you spun your turret I laughed so hard I choked on my pizza. So you weren't the only one who suffered because of this video.
To be honest I'm not entirely satisfied but you played the Panther G, soooooo great video as always
Really liked the replay camera
spookston knows no danger, its why we see he smoke so little.
This has got to be the first vid where the viewer can share the pain by also wanting to throw up!
good job with the third person shots its very funny
I struggle with good positioning because I don't know the best angles on all the maps yet. Hopefully I'll get better with practice
As always great videos man
Spookston. I have a request. Get *all* of the memes from the start of all of your videos to make the ***ULTIMATE*** war thunder slander/meme video
I really liked the replay clips. Could you add them to your regular videos?
“You really shouldn’t be listening to music at all when you play this”
I hear as I tab over to my 30 song playlist for WT
with all this C&C Generals music i would love to see you play that game someday
If you ever do a challenge like this again, you could try using the driver view to help navigate difficult terrain next time.
Oh, but wait, 0:35 you need to take full ammo to be faithful to the German experience! lol
The edits are insane in this one. More replay thingy plz
Now you should do a no scope challenge, because it might be funny. Even funnier if you get mostly sniper maps for it.
Thank you for the Sunday shenanigan's. You have a great day. Request- video trying out arcade
Petition for spookston to play as a chinese top tier AA with the catch that his vehicle will be the Z-10 with 12 TY-90s and 4 ATGMs
You have nailed the German experience on the head no. There are accordions to being blind and slightly blind and I fall into the blind spot.
As a German main myself I say we suffer as we never learned to aim and that is what makes us German mains easy to play against if you have good armor
I'm surprised spookston didn't use a stabilized tank with a wide angle commander's sight, tams leos and others come to mind :D
Spookston saying 6 kills “isn’t a lot” is funny considering there are a substantial # of games where my 3 man squad (me included) will combine for more kills than the rest of our team combined
You should make a video series on good positions and flank routes on each map. Your format of smaller videos makes it really approachable. Even veteran players like myself could prolly stand to learn a spot or two
Spookston video in 2030:
Playing war thunder with the image in black and white, inverted, at 1 fps and getting a nuke
man i couldn't watch this on fullscreen without feeling ill
Spookston not letting himself use the driver view
Not hitting shift hurts my brain to watch Lmaoo
It would be funny if spookston did something similar with america where he has to shoot the barrel and tracks before being able to go for the kill
I don't know why but Satie's Gymnopedie No 1 will always be funny when cut over these videos
I liked the new editor. Give him a pay raise! (pay him nothing again)
Jokes on you I listen to your videos when playing Germany, I even tab out
Ngl, this type of stupid stuff is more fun to watch than the usual ones XD
This video was hilarious!
The classical piano makes him bumbling around so much funnier
My man will do anything to not play sim battles.
>:3
"if I get hit by a main gun round, then I deploy smoke"
I was just fully hoping an uptiered duck or something would start trying to teamkill you just because that'd be hilarious...
This actually somewhat reminded me of how enlisted works, you will probably only stare down the gunner sight as that is where you want to shoot. And the only real other thing you can do is let the commander poke out and he gets sniped or the commander viewports. Alternatively the driver's viewport, but you really don't see much through those
Spookston on his way to forget he gets to use binoculars aswell
I think this challage feel like you lost tank commander.And tank driver also blind. The only person who still can see is gunner.😂
Spookston's next challenge should be to play without sound, that way he can validate or disprove his theory at 5:09
This is also the “Enlisted” challenge, Neat!
I really appreciate these challenge-like videos, they help to keep your content fresh! Do similar stuff in the future maybe? :D
This is basically role-playing as the gunner.
