I actually drive it is-2 style back end forward because otherwise its a ez 1 shot but with the engine soaking up the shot you can extend your life considerably
@@corsairsofnarshaddaa I immidiately tried if it's actually amphibious...knowing Gaijin's history with amphibious tanks....well it wasn't and i drowned like an idiot because rivers in Warthunder are actual portals to another dimensions
AML90 is my favourite tank, really good french vehicle. Also ELC bis, Lorraine 40t and AMX-13 (&90), beside them hightier is absolute trash I would only play 5.3 and 7.3
The arl-44 TD has this very funny feature where it’s front plate is virtually immune to anything at its br, but if you shoot the tracks with aphe it will overpressure the crew because of the side skirts. Please play it it’s such a fun vehicle
its actually pretty funny how the mantlet, which is ideally the best Armored portion of the vehicle, is a weak spot. unlike most tanks theres a huge gap between the breech and outline of the mantlet so more often than not youll one shot the tank through APHE or hitting the ammo
2S1 is a very good artillery for 6.0 I own a hungarian export of this tank, and I can say this is a pretty nice tank, especially the HEAT-FS on this thing. Love your vids as always, Spookston!
@daskollektiv4593 If the HE in WT actually worked like it was supposed to. The HE would indeed be the best round. Because hitting a track or not. That much explosive power would turn a crew to jelly. In War Thunder, a machine gun can eat an entire HE round. But 100mm+ (Cause I forget the exact. Size.) With a HEATFS dart is gonna absolutely destroy what it hits.
@@aiedenoldstien9751 "With a HEATFS dart is gonna absolutely destroy what it hits." is alot of words just to say you havent tried heat or if you have then you must be lucky and/or oblivious. caliber doesnt affect heat damage at all and neither does explosive mass(in terms of heat damage/spall.), it only affects pen. and even then gaijin artificially nerfs heat alot of the time, from 650mm or 680mm(i dont remember exact numbers) to 440mm and 480mm pen for 125mm and 120mm guns. heat damage is the second most inconsistent damage in the game next to hesh, heat gets the inconsistency of solid shot without the pro of being caliber based, spall can randomly not be generated or be absorbed by fuel tanks or equipment while unlike solid shot it'll still make the same "beam of pen" without any diameter regardless of caliber. and like with hesh, netcode can mean the heat jet will sometimes detonate early and be unable to pen what should have been wet cardboard to it. i find this happens alot with turret desync, edges of mantlets and turret cheeks.
Spookston sounded like he was going through all stages of grief within a few seconds at 5:26. I can only sympathize since I always seem to get my breach shot out first thing when playing the Strv 74. May Gaijin have mercy on your soul
Finland still uses these (and D-30s that use the same ammo), so they could add this to the Swedish tree as well, but at least Italy got it via Hungary. Finland does also have K9s, but I don't think they have laser rangefinders like the VIDAR, so that's probably why they chose it instead.
Driving the 2S1 was the most fun I had in the army (or in my life tbh) and I'm sad I won't get to hear and feel that turbocharged YaMZ-238 probably ever again.
The one team who has the most players in planes just automatically win. Yeah you might have more ground players who can take objectives, but what is the point when they get just stomped by aircraft. In most battles I'm in, our team never has any planes or the SPAA just get swarmed by planes when spotted. I feel that Spookston.
Which it's sad because the mode is called ground and more people play planes. What makes it even worse is that they're gonna tell you that it is a skill issue when tanks aren't meant to fight aircraft. The other thing that hurts this game on that front is that Gajin decided to literally give every fighter bombs so they could be effectively used in ground.
@@ilikeships9333 Of course. Cause Gajin makes the travel time much shorter because the mode is supposed to be about tanks. If Gajin actually took out the planes or had a separate mode. It'd actually be much more fun to play tanks.
It's amazing how consistent your upload schedule is. Also could you make a video where you only use high caliber he? Things like this and the 2s3m for example.
Aside from actual good gameplay, I love how you're not shy from hiding bad and unlucky plays in your videos, definitely more interesting than someone posting a 50000 killstreak nuke video.
Big recommend on the type 75 sph next time you play a he slinger Choice between fast shells and heavy shells, proxy fuze for aa, roof mounted .50, auto loader, surpisingly survivable with enough crew to act as meat shields for your ammo rack. Also survives .50s when angled properly
This thing was so much fun in the Hungarian tree too. Once I got HEATFS, I mained it instead of HE, and it was absolutely obliterating everything I came across. It actually has very good post-pen damage for a HEAT round, and it still overpressures certain vehicles. The proximity fuse shells, I just couldn't get to work. I managed to "hit" two planes, and it just took a tiny chunk off, didn't kill them. The rest, I couldn't judge the distance and drop properly.
Same bro. I thought I'd hate it since it's HE can't overpressure consistently on medium to well armored tanks..but once I got the HEATFS man just one center shot on anything within its BR is a guaranteed one shot. It's heavenly.
Out of all the big HE slingers I like the type 75 the best. gets all the different shell types (HE in two speeds, proxy, smoke), has a pintle 50 cal to clean obstacles, and gets low velocity HE for punting over hills. Day 15 asking for the type 60 SPRG tiny japanese goblin tankette go.
Very much worth bringing the HEAT and HE-VT on this thing. It only has a 122 and it's at peak heavy tank BR so there's a lot of things the HE won't be able to kill. Also, M46s with the fence armor.
Hey spookston a trick Iv learned with Arty tanks, if you hit the track underneath the hull the explosion will blow up the tank. Think like a land mine. Shoot the inner side of the tracks and the hell will sent it all sky high
Spookston you should play the russian traktor tank destroyer, the Zis-30, its so hilarious to play with its wacky suspension and to use in an uptier day 38
The first Devblog for Update 2.31 has dropped. And it's for the Vicker Mk. XI, a wheeled vehicle with the turret of the VFM5. Edit: I made it boys, I'm UA-cam famous on the Spookston side of the WT Community!
I think with the Centurion, it his barrel somehow.... You know WarThunder things. It hit something before it hit what you wanted to hit but because of desync it didn't look like it.
i researched and added this to mine own lineup within days of it arriving. As an SPG main i'm always game to try a new big, stupid looking gun bolted onto treads. its a perfect "back up to a corner and fire gun around it" spg.
Attempt/Day #31: KV-2 (ZiS-6) •The 107mm will kill whatever it pens in one shot usually, unless it is a truck, then only if you use HE. This is because the APHE round has 440 grams of explosive mass. •Reloads over 2x faster than the standard KV-2. •Turret traverse is… Not great to say the least. •The standard KV 75mm armor can troll rounds even at 5.0, I have even taken it to 6.0 and bounced rounds, including long 88s and US 90mms. •Mobility is nothing special, just typical KV mobility.
Spookston: " If you have a vehicle or topic suggestion for a video, leave a comment" Meanwhile me who has been asking to spookston to play the M8 HMC for 83 days (bouta be crazy if it hits day 100)
The few times I ran into them they always survived getting shot. Very annoying when you can easily destroy tanks but these light armored vehicles always survive :( Half the vehicle just consists of empty space with engine and driver and internal armor plates, so it absorbs damage from APHE while AP in general deals not enough damage to take them out in one shot, unless you hit ammo. Actually it doesn't even have enough armor to trigger APHE on most of it's surfaces, turning APHE into even less damaging AP.
Spookston: can I please just enjoy ground battles without getting killed by a plane? The community: we support this cause! Gaijin: planes are ground vehicle since they have wheels so they belong in the mode…………………………………………………………… lol
Hi 👋
hi
Heya
hi
hello
Hello
Would love to see Turan III get some attention, especially with that you can go full speed in reverse and having a good gun
Quickly becoming one of my favorite tanks. It's like a faster, better armored Pz.IV F/G. I even like the Turan II for low-tier fun.
Turan III reserse speech is extremely comedic. I reverse out of the view of an m24 after getting my breech blown out faster than they could catch me.
Real shit, normally I get maybe aprund 2-3 kills per spawn but with Turan III is I get around 5
Turan I feels Like a Low Tier mbt
I actually drive it is-2 style back end forward because otherwise its a ez 1 shot but with the engine soaking up the shot you can extend your life considerably
Fun fact: This thing isn't modelled amphibious by Gaijin, even so in Devblog (aswell as IRL) it is.
I learned that the hard way in the Hungarian version.
@@corsairsofnarshaddaa I immidiately tried if it's actually amphibious...knowing Gaijin's history with amphibious tanks....well it wasn't and i drowned like an idiot because rivers in Warthunder are actual portals to another dimensions
Spookston updates are the best time of the week. Also 1 week of asking for the AML-90
AML!
Oh yeah the frenchiest gremlin tank of all

It also has a turret made of plastic despite the near-impenetrable glacis. It's very funny.
its actually pretty funny how the mantlet, which is ideally the best Armored portion of the vehicle, is a weak spot. unlike most tanks theres a huge gap between the breech and outline of the mantlet so more often than not youll one shot the tank through APHE or hitting the ammo
3:51 At this moment, you can here clearly Spookston going insane
The schizophrenia is kicking in.
Well, he got screwed by the damage model. The little storage box above the tracks ate the shot before it could hit the top of the hull.
2S1 is a very good artillery for 6.0
I own a hungarian export of this tank, and I can say this is a pretty nice tank, especially the HEAT-FS on this thing.
Love your vids as always, Spookston!
Of course the HEATFS would make it good. It's almost like putting more very undertiered heatslingers in the game would make them very good.
@@aiedenoldstien9751 this thing is fair from a "under tiered heat slinger" especially when HE is its best round
@daskollektiv4593 If the HE in WT actually worked like it was supposed to. The HE would indeed be the best round. Because hitting a track or not. That much explosive power would turn a crew to jelly. In War Thunder, a machine gun can eat an entire HE round.

I swear every time Spookton releases a video I see more and more of the vehicles he uses
probably the effect of youtubers playing a vehicle or frequency illusion

Another day of asking Spookston to play the PVRB 302 (tiny box with a top attack missile). 8.3 makes this very cumbersome to play
I love how you refer to enemy players as ‘bad guys’ 😂
ayy more spookston
gonna throw the Is-4M out there again, but as per usual these vids are a blast
I love big cannon vehicles so I'll probably like this thing. Probably won't beat the IS2 tho. IS2 is gonna be my favorite tank for a long while

Day 26 of asking Spookston to play the t-35
Spookston has the most stock laugh I’ve ever heard
Day 87 of asking spookston to play the Is-4m
i've watched this video and the 2S3M video purely because i want to see the gameplay of it before i get it myself.
if you ever feel like bonking enemies with HE again you should play the BT-42
I think with the Centurion, it his barrel somehow.... You know WarThunder things. It hit something before it hit what you wanted to hit but because of desync it didn't look like it.
I heard derpgun and never thought to expect a literal headshot. Well played.
The most enjoyable part of Spook's videos are him being a gremlin. That being said I suggest the Type 16 / Centauro / M1128
Spookston when there's a mildly good gun on a derpy tank from 1.0-7.0: this is my "Tiger Killer"
1:12 "Boss you killed a child?"

Spookston: “Sector is clear”
(3 seconds later): “NOT CLEAR, NOT CLEAR!)
the growling dog sfx would have been killer in that last clip
I havent played USSR/Russia at all and I thought playing enough China should help me get used to the depression of the 2S1(HU) - No.
Great content, this channel always motivate me to play war thunder when I already raged out
"There is a lot of people on that alley, i hope i do not get shot in the back"
Poor, POOR choice of words
metal pipe sound is so fitting for these kinds of tanks we need a mod that adds them ingame
My man he is doing it again. Gret video as always
the sniper tank the avenger
I love 50calling those 2S1 from the side.

Attempt/Day #31: KV-2 (ZiS-6)
•The 107mm will kill whatever it pens in one shot usually, unless it is a truck, then only if you use HE. This is because the APHE round has 440 grams of explosive mass.
•Reloads over 2x faster than the standard KV-2.
•Turret traverse is… Not great to say the least.
•The standard KV 75mm armor can troll rounds even at 5.0, I have even taken it to 6.0 and bounced rounds, including long 88s and US 90mms.
•Mobility is nothing special, just typical KV mobility.
Spookston should try the IPM1 with Max Ace’d crew. Decent Armor and mobility with a good gun and round but a cracked teenager for a reloader❤
There are two types of spookston video: "yeah i like this tank" and "its gonna be one of those days isn't it?"
Something that can also die from a small breeze is the Bmp-3 but it has some cool things like a good reverse gear and thermals.
The amount of emoting Spookston is using is really telling that the CAS is really hurting his mental state!
Can't wait to see Spook eventualy use an M109 as a tank destroyer.
I would love to see another vehicle that deletes opponents, the dicker max (requesting for two months btw).
16th video asking spookston to play france 1.0 because i love suffering 😊😊

Spookston doesn’t hurt himself emotionally challenge: impossible
when the r3 exploded i laughed out loud and said "how do you like that?" :D it made me so happy, thank you
Did seem to have some really weird shell behaviours yesterday.Stuff like the middle of a Leo 1's sideskirts stopping a Chieftain's APDS, flat.
Asking for Spookston to use the Chi-Ha LG splattering his 120mm munitions of high explosives on unaware players.
M36 is the king of 5.3 and M36B2 having HEAT deletes most of your usual problems when you point at ammo. 90mm M3 feels so good.
What a Boomstick
