Remember that the chinese cancer wagon is 8.0 and 75mm Rooikat is 8.3 while being slower, doing less damage, lacking thermals and generally being a bigger target
The radkampfwagen sits at 9.7 without thermals and same huge size… okay it has dm33 but like really? Not like it matters cuz i mostly use it in my 10.0 or 11.3 lineup for flanks but still a bit confusing (it was 9.3 before and even 9.0 before that)
@@bloodwyn4184 Meanwhile, IS-4, just sitting there letting them empty their wallets into me while I casually 50cal them. What having an unexposed driver hatch does to a MFer.
PTL02 and WMA301 are some of the most under tiered vehicles at that BR range. Gen 2 thermals, good darts, very mobile, and the 301 even gets tandem warhead missiles along side a proxy HE shell.
While your not wrong they need to go up in BR, but for wheeled vehicles they are slow so if you put them any higher than 8.7 they'd get outpaced by MBTS and the fact they can't reverse faster than 7km and hour unlike other armored cars and you can HMG them from 800ms away it's kinda hard to balance them.
@@bobhiest7883 That's every wheeled vehicle. It's an inherent downside of the suspension. That doesn't somehow make it less lethal or it's reconnaissance abilities weaker.
Btw, that PTL 02 is at the same BR as the M41 w/ a worse engine, gen 1 thermals, 76.1mm APFSDS, which itself has lower pen and damage), all because balanz
M41D is a joke. Most of the times at BR8.0, it's APFSDS performed badly because it has a tendency to overpen light tanks and heavy tanks with little post-penetration damage. But at top tier if you shoot the weak points of the Main Battle Tanks, it performed very well.
Step 1: Take WZ305 into battle. Step 2: Take ZSU-37-2 aka Enisey with you in a squad. Step 3: ask your 37-2 teammate to give you firing solution to lay your 57mm VT fuzed shells into. Step 4: wake up and realize that this game doesn't support teamplay and vehicle retention outside SB.
0:35 I hadn't noticed you switched to the PTL02 (was looking at comments) when you said "I don't have the sabot round for it yet", looked, and saw APFSDS and though to myself "THE WZ305 HAS WHAT NOW?!" nearly had a small heart attack there.
I really hate the PTL02, the fact that some players are defending it being 8.0 by saying its armor can be penned by HMGs and the cross country capability is poor. But who needs armor when u js shoot and scoot or most of the times just camp in the back, use thermals and pick on the 7.0 vehicles
My main gripe about playing it and the WMA is the awful gun depression, size, and that the Rooikats are just kinda better given what they fight at those BRs
"Bro just MG it bro" I somehow non-pen it with the AMX-30's 20mm and even if I do pen it, the crew is so spaced out, and it's turret rotation so fast, you sometimes CAN"T kill it. I've put 105 HEAT into them and it does NOTHING because they're so spread out.
My defense would be that the chinese 8.0 lineup is absolutely terrible outside of the PTL and the WZ305 (type 59 being worse t55a at same br, type 69 having meme accuracy etc.), it kinda needs the PTL to be competitive.
im waiting for the day artillery just fails to work and spook is left in stitches seeing a 155mm HE shell stuck in the turret of whatever open top SPAA he plays next
The trick to playing anti-cas is to play in squads. That way your squad's tank aura draws in more cas for you to kill. My brother and I do that and he always ends up with like 4-5 planes killed every other game. It's awesome, he's so good at AA I love playing with him.
If you’re the kind of person who learned how to shoot down planes with the M19 or M42, then the WZ305 basically turns you into an angel of death. Even 9.0+ aircraft needs to be wary of that thing.
@@Wienerslinky lol, everyone? i barely ever met helis playing the LAV for america, freindly or enemy alike, ive met more helies at 8.0 than 10.0 not to mention i barely meet any planes either
If you want some lower tier CAS fun, try the ZSD63 in the Chinese tree. It has decent mobility and a really high rate of fire. It recently had its reload time nearly halved to 13 seconds. I use it for when I get "Bird Hunt" for a battle pass task. Remember to use short bursts of fire with this one.
Spookston, you managed to miss the fact that the PTL02 has an APFSDS round as standard, you were using HEAT-FS the entire time. Also the PTL, at 8.0 is functionally identical to the WMA301 at 8.3 except for gun size. PTL is a 100mm, the WMA is 105mm which also has a gun fired tandem warhead ATGM AND a Proxy round.
He was using heatfs coz that stock apfsds is just painfully bad. And thanks to laser rangefinder you have no problem with hitting stuff with heat so yeah...
That's one thing I love about play AA the amount of skill that it takes to hit and all of the ammo has different flight characteristics there's just a certain satisfaction when you take one out of the sky
Finland developed its own prototype of the ZSU called the ZSU-57-2M, it added a radar in addition to programmable ammunition. It would be interesting to see it in the game.
The OS2U is another one of those "so bad they removed it" vehicles that now you can only unlock after getting to Tier II. I'd like you to try it in air or ground RB rather than naval.
China has, dare I say it, the strongest 8.0/8.3 line up in the game, probably ever. TOW-2B at 8.3, the WMA301 gets a Tandem with Gen 2 Therms, T-69-II is absurdly better than the ZTZ59 even tho they're very similar. I could write an essay on this but China is OP and I love it so much.
I dunno I feel like a lot of people are underestimating the Chinese tree. The only enemy this tech tree has is time, as warthunder gets more an more modern the Chinese tech tree is probably going to be one of the most diverse in the game. The only nation where you have the possibility of having F16s, Flankers, possibly mirages, all available in the same tree? I’m in for the long haul, they will be a super power 🗿
I will say the chinese tech tree is absurdly fun. I never had such a painless grind going down a tech tree, your WW2 vehicles are all just the greatest hits albums from the US and Russia, and its premium vehicles at the higher tiers are honestly kinda busted. The ZTZ59A especially. Exact same rating as the type 59, only it gets a laser rangefinder and smokes otherwise its the same. Unironically if you haven't, play the chinese tree. Seriously, its really fun. There are very few bad vehicles in it. Mostly the PT-76 as its the exact same BR as the russian counterpart only it doesn't get a stabilizer for whatever reason making playing it much more difficult. I've still had good success with it, it still has the heat-fs that really only lets you pinpoint take down crew members but still can frontally pen a tiger 2 in places.
I'd largely agree with you, only unfun Road bump I hit was the 4.0 sherman, the M4A1 (75) I think? It might have just been a tank I didn't gel with, but the stock grind was awful. Even when unlock the better round with explosive filler, it's hard to kill anything because it's 0.3 of a br higher than the tank before it. I really hate the tank, but it's kind of needed to make a lineup, but again it might just be a vehicle I either don't gel with or have seriously bad luck in.
@@VenomGamingCenter I mean it's still a Sherman, the stock shell sucks but the M61 is really good. Once you get it, it's just a second Sherman to run along with the rest of your 3.7 vehicles. It is kinda awkward it's your only 4.0 vehicle but its not a big deal.
@@boilingpot6941 It must have changed I just remember it and the Russian version were at the exact same BR but it seems at least in realistic the Russian one is .3 higher. Still if that's the bar for one of the worse off vehicles in the Chinese tech tree that's still significantly better then a lot of other nations.
I love how War Thunder is a game where a 57mm shell exploding 5+ meters under an AH-1G is enough to cause a kill but a Type 93 stinger direct impact isn't a guaranteed kill on even an Alouette lmao
The greatest limiting factor of PTL02 is its gun accuracy. It can get quite inaccurate passing 500 meters. However, once you gets the level 4 APFSDS round, it has the penetration and post pen effect that do quick work once you land the shell on an enemy vehicle. Also, it is so quick on road/city maps. It can easily get close to the enemy to mitigate the inaccurate gun. Oh, also, the Gen 2 Thermal view is just beautiful.
From my experience using the normal russian 57-2, I can definitely say that getting the shells near the target is fairly easy, but getting a direct hit is very hard. Thinking about the chinese one having proxy shells makes me jealous sometimes. This thing is easily the strongest SPAA at 8.0, a gepard may be scary when you are in the air, but a wz is true fear. It could shoot at you at any time from anywhere and instantly kill you.
Gepard is garbage, as are all the other gepard-related spaas. Easily countered and avoided even when directly attacking them. The only real danger from the ground are wz and swedish veak, proximity shells are almost always a guaranteed death sentence for your plane.
From a couple of kms you can dodge other radar SPAA, you can switch heading (up and down will work) but that thing is a one shot monster, most times I get sniped by that thing I either dont see attack or I was already dodging a gepard/ZSU/veak/whatever. The M163 is at the same tier, does not havr search radar, weak 20mm, cant defend itself, exposed gunner, no thermals
I played war thunder for a good year before I gave it up because it became a chore, but your content is still always great, good on you for sticking it out with gaijin
I literally just started stock grinding the Chinese 8.0 lineup today, since I finally finished the M48A1 and ZBD86. Got the Type 69, Type 59, PTL02, and WZ305. Researching the M41D, and will eventually get to the M113A1. Haven't used this ZSU very much yet, and I'm not looking forward to the stock grind, but I can't wait to get it up to the HE proximity rounds. Seems like an absolute monster in its final form.
I'd gladly play that SPAA because I simply love proxy shells but I am not going to grind for the rest of my life just for that one vehicle Also 3:50 is very relatable edit: bought premium and grinding 🙂🔫
I always love bringing out the WZ305. Its fun to swat planes for the entire match. The only frustrating thing about it is trying to use its proxy fuse rounds to knock out helicopter ATGMS. In my experience it just doesn't work, ever. The round fuses in front of it and the ATGM just keeps on going. If the pilot is skilled enough they can maneuver the rocket and basically sponge incoming rounds coming towards it. Might just be my sample size of the issue but it doesn't make it less frustrating. Uptiering the WZ305 to hunt down A-10's is also pretty fun. The PGZ-09 which sits a hair above the WZ305 should have some proximity ammunition available for it as well but it has yet to be added. I would love to see it added in the future.
On a related note I played the crusader AA MK1 (in arcade, I'm not that skilled) I got 3 kills 2 light tanks and a T-34 1942, it was the best I had done with that vehicle.
All WT players: Why can't you be normal China! You are everything wrong with WT. China: Im everything you wanted me to be. And i kinda miss where that's my problem.
PTL-02 is my favorite china tank i remember people saying it's dogshit because it's big when it got released and now look at it but i seariously hope that if they nerf it, it'll be the BR and not the repair cost, cuz i think balance is more needed than expensive gameplay
The WZ305 is hands down the best SPAA in the game. The proxy rounds make it so you don't really have to aim. Stuff like the gerard just literally can't compete
SPAA at low-mid tier being absolutely useless unless the planes are within a 1km radius with a high chance of just getting strafed to death SPAA at high-top tier ANNIHILATING everything that flies in a 5km radius
In a surprise to absolutely nobody, Gaijin fk'ed up the clip loading procedure for the 57mm SPAA gun. It is supposed to hold 8 rounds (two 4-shot clips) PER GUN. When you get down to 4 in a single gun, the loader can load the next 4 while you are still firing, just like every other clip-fed 37mm and 40mm SPAA in the game.
can you look at the Breda 501?, Its extremely undertiered since it got been buffed. I got a 15 and 14 kill game consecutively. Just roll around peeking corners and deleting everything
Remember that the chinese cancer wagon is 8.0 and 75mm Rooikat is 8.3 while being slower, doing less damage, lacking thermals and generally being a bigger target

Nice to see some game play of the 2 tanks I put a talisman on ! Great grinder
Hey, Spookston, I have a request for what you might play next, I think the EBRs would be quite fun!
Love these vids you do.
Definitely my favourite cancer removal tool, too bad the regular zsu doesnt have proxies
The fact that he released this video and i saw do many of these today
Love this kinds of videos can’t wait to see more lol
Finally someone showing the beauty that is the WZ305, I grinded china JUST to get it
Have you looked into grinding Sweden for the VEAK 40?
@@PraetorianMan I have but my mate hated himself for grinding up to 7.7 in it so thats put me off for now xD
fuckin' disgustin'
“He croshed!” The man in this man voice.
doesn’t wanna fight tanks yet in the thumbnail he has 7 tank kills lol?
On a related note I played the crusader AA MK1 (in arcade, I'm not that skilled) I got 3 kills 2 light tanks and a T-34 1942, it was the best I had done with that vehicle.
All WT players: Why can't you be normal China! You are everything wrong with WT.
China: Im everything you wanted me to be. And i kinda miss where that's my problem.
After 5.3 China tree is fucking amazing, glad i spaded the ground tree and now i'm finishing the air tree.
Russia is everything wrong with WT tho :>
PTL-02 is my favorite china tank
i remember people saying it's dogshit because it's big when it got released
and now look at it
but i seariously hope that if they nerf it, it'll be the BR and not the repair cost, cuz i think balance is more needed than expensive gameplay
The WZ305 is hands down the best SPAA in the game. The proxy rounds make it so you don't really have to aim. Stuff like the gerard just literally can't compete
SPAA at low-mid tier being absolutely useless unless the planes are within a 1km radius with a high chance of just getting strafed to death
SPAA at high-top tier ANNIHILATING everything that flies in a 5km radius
They should add some rough aim assist for SPAA that doesn't have radars. Would make it much better
4:43 Welcome to german pilot logic
Frag rounds blowing up all around your cockpit: surviveable
1 british ww1 MG 7,7 to the foot: instant death
Would be interested in seeing you play the Ratel 90.
The WMA is what made me stop playing the game. It's insane to try and fight
3:50 Is the true War Thunder AA experience
the most fun AA tnak ever seen
"I just wanna shoot some planes" average American SPAA in France 1944
In all fairness, you spawned it...first. Every time.
Good video as always 😃
dont forget, the WMA-301 has tandem ATGMs, and proxy rounds with second gen thermals at the same BR as the PTL
Keep playing what you want to play. I like hearing what you have to say about anything/everything.
Yes, officer, this player right here.
You're going away for a long time, bucko.
The WZ305 is pretty much the exemple of power creep in new nations in Warthunder.
Not really, its literally the only best SPAA chinese has as the PGZ204 is not that good and the Z-19E is the best top tier "SPAA".
3:49 play sim as AA. You can clean house pretty well.
No joke, I love to just solo with that spaa, it wrecks really any airplane and you barely have to aim at them
man i can't get past "ammo stowage" XD
Man nothing can beat the G6 proxy rounds. It's the best anti air tank
bkan 1c?
@@smolderhead3147 a Bkan 1c was trying but couldn't get a shot in an aircraft. I kill that Jet with my G6
You should try the CM25 and illustrate why top attack missiles at 8.3 is just broken in the right hands.
Man i really wish u did videos where we get alot more gameplay of u playing tank rb. Its so staisfying in my OP to wacth u play
In a surprise to absolutely nobody, Gaijin fk'ed up the clip loading procedure for the 57mm SPAA gun. It is supposed to hold 8 rounds (two 4-shot clips) PER GUN. When you get down to 4 in a single gun, the loader can load the next 4 while you are still firing, just like every other clip-fed 37mm and 40mm SPAA in the game.
can you look at the Breda 501?, Its extremely undertiered since it got been buffed. I got a 15 and 14 kill game consecutively. Just roll around peeking corners and deleting everything
Very satisfying indeed!😊
A yes another one of my favorite Spookston moments. "Oop!"
4:50 the Übermensch Pilot
Play the 9040 series in the swedish tree, the most fun ive had in a while
Spook: Today's one of those days where I want to identify as a support vehicle.
Satifying is a strange word for overpowered
I use the PTLO2 at 9.7 and it works completely fine lol
Makes me want the otomatic even more
