0:52 fun fact, the mantlet thickness is actually WRONG. I put in a bug report, complete with sections of the M47's technical manual. Gaijin "acknowledged" it and proceeded to leave it to rot
Typical when it comes to armor changes There has been a million reports about the hull armor on the Italian C1 Ariete It’s supposed to be composite, and around 500mm Gaijin just be like “best I can do is 180mm spaced” Even the manufacturer called it composite But gaijin obviously knows best
i heard you hate british vehicles, vehicles that do no damage and vehicles that are basically CAS magnets, so i think you should play the ratel 90; a gigantic british light tank with no armor, that only gets 90mm HEAT with a 7 second aced reload and that somehow always gets strafed by planes before it's even allowed to leave spawn (day 91)
My grandfather has quite the history with this tank(Belgian army). He was first a tank transporter and on his very first attempt of driving a tank on the Antar trailer, he made a mistake, drove the tank off & flipped it. Then he was ferrying M47's across a street at Hechtelt when a Citroen 2CV broke trough the MP blockade that was setup and slammed into the side of tank he was driving. The couple inside was dead but it was later found out they were drunk (they found dozens of beer bottles in the car).
who plays japan bro.. i think the real issue is that the m47 is just an average vehicle that's overshadowed in the major trees it's in (america and germany).
Pro tip: if you get downtiered, use APHE as your default. Uptier, use HEAT as you expect excessive numbers of heavies and superheavies. Intelligent useage of ammo will get you very far with the M46, M47, and M48. Also, yes the APHE round gets more pen as you go up the tech tree due to small refinements in the gun models as the same gun got placed on different models of Pattons.
Actually, cool fact. I live in Barstow, CA. and right on the corner of my street, there's an M47 Patton parked as part of the museum across the road from it. Pretty cool, actually researched the M47 in game after first going to see the thing.
I play a lot of 6.0-7.7-8.0 and I also feel as if the M47 doesn’t get enough love, it’s a very good tank at least the way I’ve learned to play it, Justice for the M47!
It wasn't fielded in Korea and already mostly out of service by the time the US increased its engagement in VIetnam. It hasn't seen any significant combat use in US service.
8:58 i think the t-44 was aware of the quick reload of the french tank and wasn't confident of beating its reload on time xD even if it was next to you ready to advance seeing how quickly it fire again but miss xD
you played the conqueror, you played the m103, and now it's time for you to play the amx 50 surbiasse. it combines massive firepower, a good 6-second autoloader with 18 shells in the readyrack and excellent mobility. IMO, it's the best out of the "late war soviet heavy tank hunter" class of vehicles.
The M47 was such a breath of fresh air for me grinding the American tree. Just a great all around tank that’s super versatile, glad to see you enjoying it!
Attempt 56 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.
Fun fact, in real life the M47 and M41 both could mount a coax .50 cal, though it was fairly rare. Earlier this year I got to see my first M47 in person, it was a gate guardian at a VFW hull and it had a .50 cal coax!
The M47 is one of my favorite tanks, not only because I played it up to 9.3 but also because of its incredible ability to ambush or reposition itself very well, or simply rush people like a maniac. It's very rare, but in uptier this tank behaves very very well, it's like the T95E1 when you raise it to 9.3 or 10.0, it still performs quite well despite its shortcomings.
I think another underappreciated tank (and rarely seen) is the Magach 3 (ERA). It may be a standard Magach but the fact that it has ERA at 8.0 allows it to survive far more than it should.
My grandfather was a gunner on the German variant in the Bundeswehr. He told me that after shooting, the insides would often stink so badly he had to throw up into an empty shell, which only made him more sick together with the bumpy handling on rough terrain. But there were good stories too, like when they cooked an egg on the exhaust because it got so extremely hot. Another fun fact: At the end of his career, my grandfather ranked higher than his commander, who wasn't aware of this at first, just like everyone else apparently. His face must have been priceless when he finally found out 😂
On the topic of American vehicles that look weird and are underrated, I think you should play the M551. It has a 152mm gun that fires full caliber HEAT that can overpressure light vehicles and some MBTs. Although it has a long reload, it has really fast turret rotation, is fully stabilized, and imo it’s really fun. It’s like an m60a2 but more fun bc of its mobility.
2:23 why DOES the M47 have a .50 coax??? Pretty much everything I've seen says it has a .30 cal coax like a normal U.S. tank, but it just randomly has an M2 slapped in there in WT
Played this thing yesterday and had a good time. Tiger 2 player tried to rush me around a corner I was watching and was surprised with a HEAT shell. Also great reverse for the br.
fun fact the m47 was retired in the 50s or 60s but was used in other countries but the last one retired was in pakistan in the early 2000s the only reason they had american tech is beacause india supportes the ussr so it became a flashpoint of the cold war
Been playing WT for a while now and i've always wondered, IRL do tank crews continue fighting when they lost a crewman after getting hit? Has there been an instance in history where a tank continued fighting after they got hit, and penetrated? All I've ever seen are vids where once a tank has been penetrated/spalled the crew always bails and abandon the tank.
As a general rule crews bail the moment a round penetrates anywhere or disables the vehicle. Generally poor for ones health to be in the metal box that is being shot at and penned (or is immobile and a sitting duck)
Dear Spookton, I hope this letter finds you in excellent health and high spirits. As I reflect on our recent endeavors, I am struck by the remarkable skill and insight you consistently bring to the table. Though you have not yet had the opportunity to command the Leopard C2A1, I am confident that your exceptional abilities would greatly enhance this particular endeavor. With this in mind, I am reaching out to see if you would be interested in taking on this new challenge. Your participation in operating the Leopard C2A1 would undoubtedly bring a fresh perspective and significant advantage to the effort. It would be a pleasure to see you engage with this task, and I am eager to witness the potential successes that could arise from your involvement. I hope you will consider this opportunity, and I look forward to your thoughts on the matter. With sincere regards, I remain, Yours faithfully,
I use this along with the T114 and maybe the T95. Terrific variety in a potent little lineup. You have the supreme rat in the T114 and its remarkably deadly recoilless rifle, the goofy, ponderous lumbering of the turtle mother and her giant cannon(not particularly good ammo but able to bludgeon enemies into submission through raw brutality) then the M47 is a terrific in-betweener that I like to use last in a match. Its good at evading planes and can hold its own in a tank battle if played w caution. Thanks for covering it
The M47. We took an M26. Gave it an actual engine and final drive and called in the M46. Then gave it the turret for the M48. Which itself still had the same internals as the M46. Then sold the thing enmass to all of our Allie’s while we built M48s. The Patton tanks were odd.
There was a broken down M47 Patton tank in the woods of the OCS section in Quantico. I know this because I worked comms there and one of the sub stations for our lines were out there. The was also a T62.
The Tank Museum in Bovington is restoring their M47 this year which is brought this tank to my attention a couple weeks ago! Shame it got superseded by the M48 but saw awesome service until the 90s with other nations though!
M47 was always one of my favourites. It's just a relatively unassuming tank that actually has some really effective tricks up its sleeve. One of my most played 7.3s.
Day 105 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.
9:00 - Buddy, after so many hours on this game you still put some faith on your teammates knowing very well deep inside that this is serious mistake. Regardless of that I admire your hopefullness.
Play the Fiat/Ansaldo M11/39. It has everything low tier Italy has to offer. Bad armor, bad speed. The 37mm gun has APHE, but its casemated. Best of luck. That or try the P40. Decent Italian medium with 75mm HEAT rounds. (attempt 11)
2:27 It used to but then gaijin a bit ago (when they gave the IS-2's the D shell back) also gave the pershings and early 90mm guns all the same pen. so the pershing and m36 actually slaps hard now.
I remember when this thing used to have just -5 gun depression and i immediately abandoned it, then came back to it last year and turns out it got fixed with the normal -10 and its actually pretty decent now.
Been running the 7.3 Japan loadout with the m47 and it’s probably one of my favorite loadouts. Prob my second favorite behind USA 7.7, because of the T114
The M47 is probably my favourite medium tank. BR is just right. Shell selection is just right Armour is just right Mobility is just right It is a great tank in every respect. Sure, it doesn't have a stab, but it really doesn't need one. The armour-mobility ratio is just great.
Reminder that this thing and all Bulldogs used to have the same turret traverse speeds, til Gaijin nerfed the Bulldogs because reasons. This thing also has two .50 cals, one of them being coaxial meaning it can be used at all times provided said MG is not destroyed and/or the gunner is not dead.
Day 45 of asking for the Churchill VII Daily fun fact: Having captured a number of Churchill tanks after the Dieppe raid, the Germans wrote an evaluation on the tank after testing.

12:52 That was actually a pretty good historical representation of when a Sherman rammed a King Tiger. The only problem is that it was only a patton

6:20 love how it cuts to him behind the corpse of the same tank inferring that he he got cas'd and didn't show us
I’m pretty sure the Conqueror has the most fear moments in Spookston vids.
The M47 is awesome, especially in 7.3 squadron battles. It carried TWNK during 7.3 SQB
I like how the M47 and the M41 look so similar, particularly the turret.
0:23 the sweet sweet sound of a pringles tube hitting someone in the head 😅
OGs remember it having it -5° gun depression and the fight for -10°, since all the manual just mention that the electric traverse stops it at -5°.
My grandfather commanded one of these during the timeframe of the Korean war. Mostly training other crews shipping out.
Been running the 7.3 Japan loadout with the m47 and it’s probably one of my favorite loadouts. Prob my second favorite behind USA 7.7, because of the T114

Shell selection is just right
Armour is just right
Mobility is just right
It is a great tank in every respect. Sure, it doesn't have a stab, but it really doesn't need one. The armour-mobility ratio is just great.

Although I grinded most of the US tree with the premium M46, the M47 is my favourite patton.
I love that it gets commander override.
I love the M47, it's just one of those "looks more modern than it is" tank designs of the post-war period
Reminder that this thing and all Bulldogs used to have the same turret traverse speeds, til Gaijin nerfed the Bulldogs because reasons.
This thing also has two .50 cals, one of them being coaxial meaning it can be used at all times provided said MG is not destroyed and/or the gunner is not dead.
