It's rather typical for many players. For example, I liked to watch Viper videos about Age of Empires 2. The contrast between very high skill and genuine MISTAKES which feel like "last 2 brain cells" moments is a cool spice.
I gotta say, they Halo sound effects right around 7:00 is perfect. Took me a second to realize the engine sounds were a Warthog. That entire scene was very well done.
They did something to the traction of all wheeled vehicles. I tried taking out my mg puma with the black camp but it immediately got bogged down and was only cruising at 30 kmh on a roadway.I noticed they also have some serious jitters now. Like I’m constantly on a jagged bumpy road even when it’s flat terrain.
Yesterday with the M13 MGMC if that counts as wheeled. I was supporting my team against CAS and then they melted. Road would not let me get out of Dodge when I realized I was now on point.
Having that happen with my Ratels a lot too. Sometimes im on flat ground, and i cant accelerate past 8kmh, until i get a hill and jump up to 15kmh, somehow
The Halo sound effects During that one segment of the video were really cool someone who knows how to make mods should totally make that a sound replacer mod it would be sick
6:57 I had my volume a bit too low when I recognized the Warthog engine. Honestly that was hilarious along with the HCE warthog run theme playing and H3 banshee sounds. 😂
With the LOSAT being added through the crafting event, and that you did a video about it IRL about a year ago, I think a WT video on the vehicle is in order to see how it plays.
@@RavenWolffe77 There isn't too much RNG though, the material boxes that you get are the only thing with RNG in the event because of how random the materials you get are
Until one plane is in the air and like most open tops becomes useless. Because Gajin thinks planes are a ground vehicle. Plus the 20mm puma isn't even that op now considering they nerfed it into the ground.
@@giovannifoulmouth7205 I mean anything is op in an average player. I mean even Spookston can take the worst vehicles and make them good. I imagine he could in the L3/33. Does that mean the L3/33 is op?
3:15 I love how you can feel the silent panic as Spookston turns around to see a Sherman aimed right at him knowing that he will die at the pull of a trigger
it seems like Gaijin's plan to combat complaints about Russian bias has been to add top tier Russian tanks to other trees like Sweden and now the UK, which only adds to the confusion, and I think SB is now the only game mode with somewhat historical teams, although only few players play it with tanks, since it's harder and a lot slower paced. I guess you could try it at least once for completeness sake.
I played top tier SB like a year ago.... and told myself never again. It was like a 8vs8 match and there was 4-5 enemy KA-50s in the air. We couldn't even leave the spawn.
Russian bias for top tier is a result of gaijin rushing to modern vehicles, now russia has the best apfsds round they will ever get, and the only new modern tank they can get is the t90m.
They are just filling every team with cancerous SPAA "tank destroyers" to pander to trash tier players that can't use tanks. Every BR is flooded with W+M1 autocannon garbage and absurdly undertiered tank destroyers with guns that can one shot heavy tanks by just clicking anywhere on them.
I think your error is thinking that Gaijin actually listen to complaints. Look what was needed to get some action on "economy", that effected everyone (although below rank 4 it wasn't such a problem TBH) With everything else the player base is divided, from so called "Bias", to CAS, to maps, to BR splits.... no where near the consensus needed to get any change, so they won't.
Probably one of my favourite TD's in game. Also, (day 27 asking) you should try the Japanese STA1/2/3/Type 61 (they're all kinda the same), decent mobility, good gun and great sight magnification makes them pretty fun to play.
I was once asked to do a segment on this thing in a video Oxy did years ago. It was an honour, love this thing to bits and glad it was one of the few events vehicles I was able to get
Hello Spookston! I've returned with my request for you to play the CV9030FIN, now for the 6th time. It's quite a neat little ifv, even if a bit inaccurate in game. Also happens to be my favorite irl tank:)
@@irirjhrhr4645I played it when it was 4.7 and I slayed with it, I remember getting a 9 kill game with it just because of the stupidity of some Russian mains
It's always great to see a new video from Spookston! You should try the KV-1S next time, it is classified as a heavy tank, but to me it feels more like a medium tank. It's basically a T-34, but better because it has very fast reverse and trolly armour
7:38 this is why i REALLY want an extended anti-CAS spawn protection so that cas can't spawn camp players, Apart from SPAA tho so that its still balanced
I have numerous screenshots of the after death cam following a plane, with the life time timer reading 13 seconds That is hardly enough time to decide where to drive to on the battlefield, much less identify that there are a thousand planes in the air bombing the spawn relentlessly
Spookston acting like it's unfair to be strafed by a Plane when he's just pulled a flank and killed like 6 or 7 enemy tanks and is in an advantageous position.
Straight up skill issue. A flanker can _always_ be killed by tanks. The second anyone on the enemy team grows a brain and tries to track down a flanker like that, it's usually game over. It takes _exceptional_ skill to survive longer than a couple minutes on a good flank like that. That skill does not deserve to be punished because a cheap copout exists for the enemy team to resort to because they're frankly too shit to do anything else.
Big appreciation for the bit where you edited all the Halo sound effects into gameplay. The effort did not go unnoticed. Now play Maus as punishment for playing gremlin tank
Seeing that Crusader AA completely ignore the plane (and the sherman behind him for that matter) gave me an idea. I realized you've never played it for a video and its Bofors is really fun for shredding tanks at low tier. I hope you try it out. Thanks. Edit: I forgot to add, plus at that br all the planes move really slowly so its surprisingly easy to land shots and the 40 mm absolutely obliterates fighters and bombers.
Seeing Spook suffer so much from CAS really makes me want to see a regular game of his, I want to see him be able to respond to a threat appropriately instead of being locked down to one vehicle.
Been looking forward to seeing the LOSAT in game ever since a certain UA-camr (I wonder who) made a video on it! Now that its in the game, I hope they play it!
I personally faver the waffentrager over the pak puma, the slower tank make you play more strategically and its small, have a turret, have 45 degrees of elevation (so you can shoot down those pesky CAS) and above all it has the 88mm kwk43 doom cannon.
"People get so unbelievably petty" Tell me about it. Second to last match today I reversed and shot down an Me262 in Cologne in ground RB. He wasted a backup just to make a beeline to our airfield and kiII me as I was rearming before dying to AA.

Yes, a few of the paved roads on that map seem to have the 'deep mud' modifier that half-dry riverbeds also have.
Don't ask me why they did this.
Cause it is Gaijin, they need no reason ;)
Most countries other than Russia have wheeled vehicles. So what better way to nerft them than to nerf the roads.
