The Chinese M41D is one of the most painful tanks in War Thunder, luckily the somewhat new M41A3 is much more bearable.

The Worst Tank, But It's Actually Good - Ігри
The title is a callback to the M41D video, not in reference to the M41A1
hehe balls
m22 in my walls
Damn now the Chinese have the best and worst m41
hehe penis
Heey I know why close air support keeps targeting you, you're always standing on the brightest spot and not in the shadows. Your "foreshadowing" isn't really good there.
You should try the Wiesel 1a4, it’s like the 1a2 but more of a gremlin
Gremlin mentioned🚨🗣️🚨🗣️🚨
Would you say it's more of a gremlin, or more of a goblin? Or perhaps it is most like a rat?
FUCKING RAT,some here could know who says that a lot in his shorts about wiesel
THATS WHAT IM WALKIN AB0UT!!!
talkin not walkin ffs
CAS whenever they see spookston with 1 whole kill to his name be like:
Now that's an avengers level threat.
He isn’t alone, I’ve been getting bombed once every 2 rounds, kill or not, I’m a threat the second I touch the battlefield
Unless im mistaken, Sweden's roads are simulated like mud
Literally drove through the grass spots in a T-44 and beat a bulldog to A
technically it makes some sense, tanks have lower speed on asphalt as steel on asphalt dosent provide much grip and tracks can simply start slipping. Thats why ruber inserts were created for tank tracks apart from not damaging the roads
@@keldon1137 Technically absolutely but why mud 😭
@@keldon1137 Rubber tracks designated for soft ground either
@@keldon1137As someone who drove a bmp it accelerates the same on asphalt as it does on grass, gravel.
@@leevin7546 it will vary from from vehicle to vehicle depending on the power plant, torque, driver but i certainly seen t80 tracks sliding with sparks and drifting on asphalt too. Concrete is actually way better for steel tracks in terms of grip for example.
I love the fact that Gaijin nerfed the bluudog's turret traverse because of a document for an earlier model despite there being documents stating that the A1 version of the bulldog had 36 deg/s
It's just Gajin casually shitting on American Vehicles so that the Russian Prototypes could be superior
@MrSexican12 lmao, when ever a nerf happens to western vehicles it must be bias against them right?
@matthiuskoenig3378 Depends on the context of the nerf.
Like the T25 for example. They remove the stabilizer and raise the BR of it in the same update. Meanwhile the BMP 2M gets moved up and given technology it doesn't even have IRL.
The fact that almost every other update a sherman or the Jumbo is getting pushed higher and higher till they are gonna be unplayable.
The nerfs they hit the Losat with.
Then the most recent nerf to the F-16 while another Russian jet gets an improved engine.
Now to say it may not be directly bias. Though a lot of stuff in the game they also do seems to somehow give advantages to other nations like Russia, China, and Sweden.
I'm still so salty about that
Shocked M735 hasnt been brought up yet.
You know, that 105mm shell that got changed based on a report from one guy who did the math wrong (one of the moderators on the Forum straight up said the math was wrong), and despite admitting it was incorrect they still havent touched it for about 3 weeks now?
I mean seriously, its really hard to think that bias doesnt exist when they nerf a NATO vehicle at the slightest inclination that it could be nerfed, and yet require pages of documents verified 3 times over to get any sort of corrections that might buff the vehicle. I dont know if its true or not but Rheinmetall straight up told them, supposedly, what the PUMAs sabot weighed and they just ignored it and used their own value.
Im sure there is a possibility that Russian tech gets this treatment too but I dunno what goes on in the Russian side of the forums.
I finally realized why he gets bombed so much. When I play CAS (which is rare) I look for 3 things, movement and area where I died and objectives. 90 percent of the time spook fits at least 2 of the 3 criteria I look for.
It's because he plays smart he gets targeted
@@Anarcho-harambeism Most CAS players look for easy to spot(fast moving or in open)/ grouped together/ the guy that killed them when picking their targets. Spook is regularly most of these.
@freddy67h I definitely try to spot groups, though if I can I try to help Friendly's, though sometimes I steal a kill on accident
I just assume any light tank sneaking around by itself is a decent player and go for them, but only if I have multiple smaller bombs. Wasting a 1000lb bomb on 1 guy is just stupid.
@gmt1 nah. 4000lbs to the forehead of a weisle
Have you used all of those backups on the m41d yet? Also i hope youre doing better man
Guys, fun fact: US is now the only faction with such big AA gap, even france got their 5.3 spaa.
US has a lot of fighters with good bomb loads though, so they tend to make up for this AA coverage gap by having more of their own aircraft.
(Makes it damn hard to claw back a win if the other team gets air superiority, of course...)
@@JosephHarner Non-argument and gaijin knob slobbing excuse.
I have to dookie dent my SP to spawn a reactionary plane, and then I have to dookie dent some more to return to the ground in some death marked POS to do what others can simply select in their SPAA tree in ground battles.
Every other nation uses US mainstay planes at same BR to go with their own planes. Matches are sometimes -more like usually- filled with P, F, A, or B plane numbers followed by an alien symbol or dartboard dropping the biggest possible bomb. Multiple nations also have the principle US SPAA at the same BR and or some Walmart brand version, really driving home the bias.
What US spaa would you add to fill the gap?
@@matthiuskoenig3378 Yeah that's sort of the rub. I'm sitting here going "The USA didn't really DO SPAA, so the gap might be because America just assumed air superiority. I guess you'd have to give them someone else's SPAA?"
@@RedShocktrooperRST The US didn't mass produce every bullshit it had, but it made things and it tested things.

You can see there is more if you look for it.
It's ironic that German players have "wolf" in their name, when tigers and panthers are big cats, not dogs
Also, lots of FW's crash because it's not very responsive when pulling out from a dive.... also it's very fast
Ground RB players learning about control surface compression
Most Wheraboos are Furries or GuP Weebs.
German mains when they learn basic fucking biology:
Same with bf110
because the Desert Fox?
You might try KPZ70/XM803/MBT70, it was nerfed horribly despite being already mediocre at best. (No armor+280mm apfsds and frankly useless HEAT/ATGM at 9.3 HMMMMMM)
Gajin is obviously biased towards Russia and China
Does it get thermals
@@IlllIlIlIIlllno
@@IlllIlIlIIlllno only nvg
No just night vision no thermals.
10:00 the 88 really ties the oblivious German player package together
Was thinking the same. Peak German main energy from that wannabe skinhead...
I think the thing with solid shot is that the more armour you shoot through, the more shrapnel it produces.
That is how it SHOULD work.
it just doesn't however.
yea that`s how it`s works
Tell that to the conqueror shooting through the tiver 2s UFP and getting no spall.
@@user-tj9vp8re4d You've clearly never played any tank with any form of solid AP.
an APHE shell that doesn't detonate, creates more spall than a solid AP round.
@@robertharris6092Which is mad because then you have the Chieftains 120mm APDS that does pretty decent dmg and one just wonders why is the other metal brick flung at the speed of sound not doing dmg?
Spookston: complaining about 5 kills
Me celebrating with 2:
9:08 had my own moment like this and I wish I had the clip so badly.
I was using the vickers mk1 with the actually decent (for sabot) round and side shot a marder, like directly in the side where the engine would be not a glancing shot. The shell ricochets THROUGH the marder doing zero damage to it while leaving me absolutely gobsmacked
1:36 thats why I never say im having fun in a tank while I play it. Cause its all just downhill from there
I think the reason Spookston gets bombed a lot is that he plays agressively so that he is in areas that planes usually look? Also he spots more targets than the usual player and fires more often, meaning there is a larger chance that planes see his muzzle flash
Yet another good video spook, would love to see some Swedish stuff like the PKV II or something with low tier SABOT
"umm its not SABOT its APDS 🤓🤓🤓"
Can’t blame me, was balls deep in a 5.7 match and saw this and had to write the comment quickly
Hey Spook, you should play the Semovente 75/46 M43. It's a deeply overshadowed italian tank destroyer which can deliver an heavy punch but it's deeply ignored the potential it has. I am not gonna surrender in proposing this. I AM NOT GONNA SURRENDER, BE CLEAR! I A M N O T B A C K I N G O F F!
(Day 114)
Give that gay a damn video!
@@JoseVitor-ei8vtthat typo (hopefully) is hilarious
This has one of my highest k/d's and WR's. Its definitely underrated and under-used.
Another day being made better by the funny tank man. Thank you
Would love to see a video on the M43 75/46 please
I found the the su and isu 152 pretty fun if you want a suggestion
10:09
Spookston: *plays a tank with a .50*
Also Spookston: *doesn't use it*
Or swap to HE for the finish.
I love the fact at 8:58 you hear his smoke detector beeping right the perfect time with he destroyed the enemy tank
0:30 Strv m/42 EH? I'd love to see a video on that, its APHE is amazing...
You should try the panzer 2, since its so low br, its 20mm works good and you will be going against beginners
No seal clubbing allowed
@@kimjanek646yes no poor seals to be clubbed
6:00 If you had render terrain distance on super low, you can basically see through rocks from super far away lol, I shot like 10 shots on someone in TPV before I realized there was a rock
It’s always fun watching videos of you with the light tanks
That smoke alarm chirp sent me into fight or flight.
You should try the VCC 80/60. It's hilarious to bait people with the 3 second reload.
I'm genuinely scared by that tank
Encountered three times while being in my RISE P (it was a full uptier every timd),needless to say the third time i just launched my smoke grenades and retreated
I'd like to see a video of the 2S3M or any of the other artillery vehicles using onlyor mostly proximity fuse, the damage isn't always consistent but it's possible to get kills from over 1.5km or more and over several hills
He already did the 2S3M
Dude, I just felt the part about the map you played twice, I got carpathians and flanders 5 times today, BACK TO BACK, EACH!
I just love how light tanks have a beefier engine sound than the Tiger II/Jagdtiger or the Maus.
Still waiting on you and Odd playing the St-Emil, as punishment for not knowing the difference between a St-Emil and a Dicker Max
I'd love to see all the M41 variants (if they aren't the same) because I've recently tried to go up the german line and the KPZ m41 has me stumped. I do get those magical 8-10 kill games but it's not as consistent because the shell types just refuse to do any damage sometimes. Had to shoot a t25 about 5 times in the ammo for it to detonate today.
yeah the american one seems so much better even in an uptier
@@aidenblanchard7157 Worst part about both of them is the fact that one gets solid shot and the other APCR. At least it's not uncapped AP I don't think
German M41 also gets HEAT-FS IIRC.
@@WastelandWanderer1216 It does, but it's about as useful as APDS, yes it does a bit more consistent damage, but its still 76mm HEAT that detonates on bushes. And I don't think it even has that good penetration at about 250 or less, meaning it's basically better to use the APDS in most scenarios, though I take 15 APDS and 15 HEAT just in case.
The US M41 is basically like the german one, except it doesn't have the HEAT-FS and smoke grenades, thus having a lower BR.
I spaded it years ago and i can say that the American M41 is a menace if used good,the APDS is not very great so the APBC (which previously was the AP) is the best choice in my opinion
Appreciating your frequent uploads ❤
8:56 smoke alarm battery chirp synched well with the shot
Nice video as always!
Could you give the AEC Mk II some love...or a try?
It might have gremlin energy.
I suggest the ikv 103.
this is one of the videos i have enjoyed the most from you,,, thank you!
Loved the editing today
i find it so annoying that the "early cold war/late WW2" US vechicles have no stabilizer. Its like if they had it for most of WW2 and then engineers decided "nope, fuck that, we do not need those, get rid of them" at the time where it actually would be really nice to have.
And yes, i know that historically it was due to doctrine change and new gun desings but come ooon.
It’s also a different type of stabilizer before and after the no stabilizer era. Before is a 1 axis stabilizer, after is a full 2 axis stabilizer. The technology is very different
It's because Gajin couldn't be bothered to look through historical American documents to get the tanks right. When they do they get rid of the stabilizers because it would make them better than Russian tanks.
Also Gajin really just hates American vehicles.
@@aiedenoldstien9751 No. Its because past m18 most of US tanks literally were not fitted with it till 1972 iteration of M60
They literally changed the doctrine and seen them not necessary so no, its not Gaijin fault.
@gronthgronth2628 So many documents talk about a good few of the tanks in the 6.7 7.0 area having stabilizers. Though Gajin will just say no. Not purely to the m60 though
@@aiedenoldstien9751 Thing is that the fact that something was tested on a machine does not mean it was ultimately fitted. M26 is an example. While it was tested in prototype the deemed it unnecessary due to the way it was supposed to engage.
You should try the 88 Flak. You don't even need the stabilizers on that thing.
14:15 there was an HEP shell tested for the 76mm T91/M32 called T170E3 in 1952, but it couldn't even spall 4" of armor so it wasn't considered viable.
That Tony Hawk Pro Skater noise and text brought back so many memories
Day 39 of asking for the Type 74 G
You should play jagpanzer cuz its just too good for 4.3
It has good cannon and armor that cant be penned by most tanks in 4.3
Bombing Spook is probably a meme for every player that recognises him in a battle^^
Glad to see a light tank vid, love seeing you outrun turret traverses lol
10:11
High explosive shell: left the game
Hi spookston, I have had a really bad week and I would like to tell you that your videos make me happy and you have really cheered me up.
You adding that smoke detector low battery sound in at 8:57 made me double check to make sure it wasn't coming from my house 😂
Aww that poor little Hetzer was actually in the process of turning around completely and going somewhere else xD
I absolutely love those sounds you put there and its still so funny 0:55 please continue to use them
For some reason, I had this moment stuck in my head for a while, and I'd been going through the whole catalog of his videos to find this one moment XD
I like the camo net. I'm a fan of barrel wraps.
3:20 blew me tf away
the hold up part forcing a smile out of me is certainly pinnacle of my humour
I'm starting to think that spookston is getting more insane with every bomb dropped upon him.
Yay you finally played this vehicle. I really like it personally!
The edits just get better and better
2:51 everytime spookston gets cas'd its a cannon event i swear
3:20 the music and the hold up broke me 💀💀
that cheeky Next Episode insert when you spotted the duster was an S tier edit
foreshadowing definition might be my favorite spook moment
That LoneWolvs guy was something else
“Uh, I think there’s a Jumbo over here.”
“No, that’s even worse.”
I love live in-game commentary 😂
Man, that smoke alarm sound effect had me rewinding to make sure it I wasn’t mine 😂
First time I got recommend a Spookston video sub 1-minute after it was released
5:20 I had that problem myself on Breslau, my Ratel wouldn't go past 20mph on smooth stone roads for some reason
11:00 God the nostalgia from that music.
3:19 that "hold up" shouldn't have made me laugh as loud as it did
I love how you always bring a few he shells but never use it on light armor targets
The driver of that first M6 after taking ALL the spall to his face. "Ow, that hurt!" Grits his teeth and goes back to work.
3:20, Hold u[p, got me for sec lol
I love how you can tell how long ago this was recorded because he's still getting resources for the Tokushu Heiki event.
can you play the base M60? With how much "fun" 7.0 - 8.0 is I suspect it isnt the best vehicle
Hope one day they add the M41DK, a modern bulldog with pretty much lots of modern aspects sounds fun.
Spookston upload = good Sunday 😎
CAS: exists
Spookston: *SALTY*
0:52 the way he says "34" is oddly satisfying to me
I haven't heard that song since I was little. The one after he said hold up😂😂
Didn't expect to hear the Max Games guitar rif 11:00
I was honestly about to get the tank like just now until I saw this video. Thanks for the heads up
Spooks, you don't need to start every gameplay with excuses for your performance. You always do pretty well, and we all chose to watch your video. It's just fun. You're good, man.
After playing the french, who seem to only have solid shots, the "trick" is to shoot THROUGH the tickest part of the armour that you can penetrate to create spalling. So its a question of what is the thickest part of the enemy my shot can go through. This is the direct oposite of APHE where you have to shoot through the thinest part to penetrate and explode inside. That is also the reason why solid shots have higher penetration values. A good rule of tumb, is to shoot through an angled, tank, or pen diagonaly. Its a different style of play. Also the pattern of spalling is a cone from the entry point unlike a sphere as the APHE. If you want to take this to an extreme, try the AMX50 Surbaissé: 120 mm cannon with 300+ pen with a autoloader (6sec) and 20 rounds in the chamber, that will leave some holes :D
Always fun to play a Bulldog. One of my favourite vehicles in the game.
A very historycal moment right here
Nothing like a spook vid to make me want to play war thunder
3:20 what a throwback lol
8:57 you're actually evil, I thought my smokedetector needed a battery swap
Great vid. I hate I had to pause it to go change my fire detector batteries
"This guy had 1 assist, and all his ground kills are from plane."
Reminds me yesterday of a match where a guy capped with his M2A4, then proceeded to J out, get into 4 CAS jets, racking up 15 kills
Lmao just got mine today and now i get Spookston playing it 😂
The mesh should be a mod for every vehicle. Makes it look so much better
2:45 Wow! William Dafoe enjoys WT too... xD
New vid ok. Keep up the entertaining vids man
2:48 It's always you because you experienced it, you don't really notice other players getting bombed
12:10 That is the perfect summarization of what's wrong with CAS in this game
never forget when spookston bought about a billion backups for the bulldog
I liked that Hold up one, not bad
I don’t know if this is the explanation about speed, but to me it looks like the tracks don’t have any rubber on them so they seem a lot more off-road oriented. That could be why it’s better on dirt than pavement but that’s a guess, I don’t know the true reason.
