The American T1E1 heavy tank was added in the most recent War Thunder update, and is probably one of my new favorite vehicles. It is just an M6 / M6A1 with an electric transmission, but it's very useful being able to reverse at full speed, especially at a battle rating where not many others can. Gaijin could've added a T1E1 variant that had a 90mm cannon, but they opted to add the 76mm variant. It's a bit like the Maus in that it has two cannons mounted side-by-side.

America's Smaller Maus Tank - Ігри
If im not mistaken, the m6a1 had two Thompsons and a bunch of smoke and frag grenades inside. It's probably not an uncommon thing but I found it interesting
Yea that was pretty standard for US tanks
@@Spookston Because fuck Infantry
@@Spookstonhey spook I was that auz57.
they used modified springfield rifles for launching nades but thompsons switched for grease gun on late war period on most tanks
Most tanks during the war had small arms and grenades inside.
For context, this tank was developed at the same time as the M3. So, cut it some slack. It might not be a Heavy Tank when compared to other tanks at it's BR, but for the time when it was built - it was indeed a heavy tank.
Also, Day IDK of asking the Spookyboi to play the Sherman Firefly. Either the British or Italian one, whichever is easier for You.
The Italian firefly has the great ability of being surrounded by morons, so probably the British lol
Speaking from experience
Getting paired with Germany at 4.7-5.0 is… pain
@@bornonthebattlefront4883playing with Germonkeys at any BR is pain. I had to switch over to arcade on my Sweden grind because I kept getting paired with germonkeys with 2/3 of the team getting 0 kills or caps.
@@bornonthebattlefront4883 not from my experience.
I like how people talk about German players in a negative manner, but with the point that it's only when the German players on their side.
Yet most don't talk about how ridiculous German players can be when fighting against. And how US and Russian players can be equally as brain dead as any German player.
Also Britain is pain, tremendous pain.
This happens with a lot of vehicles in games.
They get ridiculed in game for being not very good vehicles.
Up side in a lot of cases they talk about the pixel tank and it's in game performance, and don't base assumptions about the IRL vehicle off pixels lol.
Always more interesting when people have looked in to when things were actually built & what vehicles/ammunition/infantry/numbers/conditions they would be up against IRL.
Also stuff like mechanical reliability, were they done in by poor logistics, etc.. can be quite fascinating.
The arbitrary BR system in game that has vehicles and ammunition types that were in some cases decades apart from different wars facing off can be quite harsh to some vehicles that were actually really good for their time.
It was an overweight tank
I like that not even 20 seconds in the HSTV-L makes a cameo. You can't get away from it even in videos on completely different tanks.
Thanks to the 900+ HP engine, this thing is surprisingly nimble. In WoT it was amazing for ramming enemies since it was both quite fast and very heavy compared to the enemies in its tier.
800*
i know, i use it.
@@Bonk997 i have bth wt and wot, just stick to wt. it's a lot more fun, the teammates aren't toxic baboons and the aiming is not done via rng.
edit: oh, andthe wait times are shorter! through, if i hav my pick, armored warfare would be the best choice. sadly, it has a severe case of "randomly crashing for no god damn reason".
@@ravenouself4181 Also AW is dead. Sadly. I really liked it.
I really felt it when he said he never penned the turret on KV-85/IS-1s. You shoot em and those breeches go yellow or some equally dumb stuff.
If aiming at the turret of those models of tanks if you have aphe and can’t get a hull shot, go for the cupola cause it’ll either kill the entire turret crew and destroy the tank or at the very least get the commander and gunner
@@snaketanker thanks for the tip
No problems here. Have you tried having 190mm of penetration?
@godkingsupreme9756 Yes, I've used the 17 pounder a bunch. Usually, I'll shoot them, every single module in their tank will appear to be crit, yet they'll somehow shoot me and drive off anyways.
@@edwardking9359typical russian tank abuser with ace crew
6:10 the SAP is really useful against annoying open tops that keep tanking 76 shots, especially if there's multiple enemies to shoot at, some with actual armour that you need the 76 for. I use the SAP all the time in the M6A1 against things like SPAA, nashorns, etc.
Yes, just clipping the edge of an open top with SAP can kill the crew sometimes
Light targets in general. I decapitated a few Concept 3s with the SAP yesterday
just use HE. It has the same effect.
@@panzerlite8108 The 37mm doesn't have HE anymore and somethings it's better to use the quick firing one rather than your 76mm.
@@ianpomfret4876 ah
I'd personally love to see you play the (good) Type 60 SPRG tank in Japan (The twin-barrel recoilless rifle). It's an absolute gremlin at its tier and I think you'd enjoy it with the primary and secondary guns bound to different keys.
I wish they'd add that prototype fitted with the 90mm gun instead
Could always end as an event vehicle cause 1 off kinds of vehicles tend to end up like that
@@snaketanker It shouldn't be an event with the state of US lineups in this range. Its timing is too perfect as existing at the time the Tiger H1 was new. All the 90mm shit is either paper thin plane bait or moved up to the moon. Meanwhile the five Tiger 1's at 5.3 and 5.7 to go with the four Panthers and clown TD's while you have "Ooops, it's all Sherman" cue bullshit circus.
Then we'd have the two most interesting M6's locked behind events
Let the general populace have them, leave events for the top tier people who can afford to grind 24/7
Well, this aged like milk lol
I started taking only the SAPHEI for the 37mm because having the ability to overpressure open tops on demand is an underrated ability, also the pen isn't bad on it!
yeah, but everyone hates me for using it xd, but yeah its really good
"Treat others like you want to be treated"
Flashbacks to the gremlin tanks
Hey Spookston! Appreciate the content!
Heard you like light tanks, so I'm here to ask if you'd like to give the Crusader III a roll. Seems to be pretty solid with plenty of things going for it.
I always have good matches whenever I'm playing it, so I'm sure you'll enjoy it too. 😎
Spookston is the prime example of "its not the tank its the crew/person"
I love the 37mm on the M6 as it lets me deal with annoying trees that obstruct my vision without wasting ammo from my main gun.
Im impressed Spooks didnt use the SAPHE shells he was carrying. Its the same one the Stuarts have and that thing obliterates anything it goes through. Of course it works almost exclusively with low armored vehicle.
6:05 the SAP for the 37 is really nice at super low tier, it can pen most things at that tier if you aim correctly and one shots most of the time. On that note, I'd love to see you use only the 37's SAP at low tier, I think it'd be a fun challenge.
M5 A1
I've been getting back into snail hell recently, and really appreciate how in depth you get with the vehicles you play, and fight. It's allowed me to get far better at aiming, thanks Spookston!
Its a heavy tank not because of the armor but just because of how heavy it is.
We really need a compilation of all of your jump scares, they’re too good.
Great video! I’d love to see a video on the historical accuracy of the T1E1.
All it takes is a few moments of that soundtrack to trigger all of my Halo 3 flood memories
Personally, I prefer the cut shoulders of the Porsche tigers and the M6. It let's less of the tank be visible around cover and it's fun to bait people to aim for them, then hit one of the brakes to flip the tank to force them to bounce. That and I like the way they look, personally
Wow great accuracy and man that velocity for a older tank like this!
My favorite edits of yours would have to be moments with bombs like at 5:21
I like how you made the bomb go off mid-dialogue this time.
ahhhh you just give me library flashbacks and rocket flood!!!! with that small music track....
I love the M6A1 and was absolutely thrilled when they added a better version of it. I often bring out my 5.7 lineup with my m18, m6a1, now T1E1, sherman 76 models and the m36. I also gotta have the p51d5 and the p63a10
I appreciate your use of memes and edits. They bring a smile to my face and they are very tasteful
The tech tree EBR and ARL-44 make for a pretty neat combo - maybe we could see those in a future video?
Seeing spookston not having the 37mm fire on a different keybind pained me. I love using the M6's 37mm to bait people to push corners.
Gaijin and their trees man XD
Seeing them just slowly descend into the floor like they’re in quick sand never quite gets old to me. Alongside them GMOD twitching is simply great to witness lol
So ive played the M6 a lot in arcade mode (as in, its my favourite tank and I've ace crewed it for free) and just recently got the T1. All i can say is, being a bomb magnet tends to work in your favour, at least in AB.
Between the 76, the 37, and the assortment of 50 cals, the M6 (and i presume the T1) is quite a capable SPAA platform if you focus on it.
I just wanna say that you're one of the only genuinely funny WT youtubers. I think a lot of them are too cringey, but I could be biased because I just love the blend of actually up-to-date memes and commentary.
'up-to-date memes' 💀
@David Duke DOLLAR is also a much better player too :D
And Dollar actually plays Germany, to he gets even more credit.
@@AllMightyKingBowserDollar is alright, he’s quite good at editing but it’s not the same. Spookston’s videos just hit right, I started off with his more historical or technical based videos but his gameplay videos in the last few months have been become gold. It’s hilarious, enjoyable and above all, simple
The problem of anything 4.7 and above is that you are goind to be facing tigers and panther every time, so this being 5.0 instead of the tiger's 5.3 or 5.7 doesn't change the fact no german players needs to aim to kill you. The fact that it is huge doesn't help, at least this one has a reverse gear.
On the other hand, Tiger players are clowns
I just unlocked this tank and its sibling, and you hit the nail on the head. It needs to be 4.0-4.3 rather than 5.0-5.3 because Tigers and Panthers just kill this thing.
It has an OK gun, slow speed, and it's a massive target. In a balanced video game, that would give it good armor. However, War Thunder is no such thing.
on the other hand, german mains like tiger and king tiger users dont even know how to play+ never flank+ dont use engine sound settings+ shoots ground
Thank you for the kv-1 tip
“I can tell you it’s a fun tank”
Thank you! I actually play the T1E1 and I’ve had so much fun with it even in higher BRs
the last 3 minutes of this video were so amazing
I personally find the M6 to be underrated. Also, watching you nail those T-34s was really satisfying.
With the M6A1 and T1E1 ive been having more fun on the american tech tree, the T1E1’s back oddly reminds me of the tiger 1 with its vents.
1:20 Bro that Flood music was a perfect comedic song for that instance.
Christ that 'Devils Monsters' sound bit triggered my fight or flight..
Day 10 of asking you to play low tier france
No. Baguette tank shall suffer.
Why do you want to make him suffer 😂
Reserve tier france
Love your vids man
10:10
Spookston: "Whom did Upset???"
The entire enemy team: "Your not a clown your the entire circus."
Spookston I am eternally grateful for your existence. The amount of laughter I get from these videos is fucking outrageous.
Since you just played a heavy tank with two guns, the Churchill I would be an obvious suggestion to play next.
‘Treat others, as you would want to be treated’ -Spookston as he’s shooting an enemy.
Wish the M6A1 was still 4.7 was a great lineup for 4.7 america though 5.0 isn't bad either.
with 5.0, you basically get 2 M6s
That panic'd jump at 2:16 when you got side shot had me rolling.
I mean they could put the m6 back at 4.7 so there's actually a decent lineup there again. It really wasn't that broken at the br especially when you consider Germany has the pziv h and j at 3.7 which can pen this no problem
It's not Germany the problem. It's the other nations, like Britain, Japan, Italy, etc.
@edwardking9359 I mean as far as I know Britain would be fine, they have the 57 and 75 that can fight it just fine using barrel and track or flankin. I'd have to get on and look at the other nations though. If they were smart they'd turn the possible uptier from one full br to .7 up or down, that would fix a lot
@dylanjames367 Britain might be able to briefly disable it by shooting the tracks and barrel, but anything with a 6 pounder will struggle to kill it, since they can't just shoot weak spots and get bailed out by HE filler the way most other nations can. The m6 has decent survivability, okay armour, and really good firepower for the BR, while being decently mobile and having both a fast reload and a vertical stabiliser. It can be incredibly potent in the right hands, it just doesn't bail you out the way a tiger or IS-1 can.
@edwardking9359 Considering that you can still pen it and fight it, just like tanks can still fight the b1 ter at 2.7 as well as the m4a3 which is now 3.0, and with the t1e1 out now that is definitely better, it makes no sense to keep the m6 at 5.0
Wow look at the track animations when they are destroyed, fancyyyy
dear Spookston, I have recently finish grinding the German tech tree and started the USA tree. I would love to see more low- mid tier us tank in your video. Have a nice one! :D
The R3 drifting in was so fucking funny
Got damn that part around 10 minutes was like the guy slapping all the people at the garden party
1:21 that Halo Flood theme moment. I see ya guy. Enjoyed the reference
2:30 I feel you I'm always the number one target for CAS in mixed battles
Killes 7 people. "Who did I upset?"
Grinding to get this, the M6A1 is my favorite tank in WT, so I'm happy to get another one!
I find it funny how both Germany and the USA developed heavy tanks with an unused prototype that had a petrol-electric drive.
Please make a video about the M47 Patton, the vehicle is very under looked by many content creators, and it's very good for being so underestimated.
about shooting the lfp on the early soviet heavies. its wild how many people dont know how to kill tanks at any rank. constantly getting shot in my turret instead of ufp/lfp in the turms
“My main goal is too blow up” “immediately blows up” 😂😂😂
Thx for the tip against the KVs And IS
Its cool when u tell the difference beetwen variants of tanks, normal player would never realise cause statistics are the same
Seeing you play the super pershing would be great
"If I know something gimmicky or annoying to deal with, I will not do it to other players"
You just earned my respect good sir.
That PE8 got personal man
truly one of my favorite tanks in WT.
Repair Droid lol. Good video
That tank looks incredibly smooth damn
The hull MG mount being immobile is a bug, it's supposed to have horizontal traverse, also the 37mm SAP is good for donking on paper vehicles that don't fuse the 76
the reason the m6A1 heavy never saw service was cause it was considered obsolete by the time it was ready to enter service, the us would get a heavy tank into action near the end of ww2 the m26 pershing which was originally classified as a heavy tank, but got reclassified as a medium tank after ww2 ended
You should a video on the OF-40, any variation, they are stupidly survivable and come with stock APDS rounds, the 7.7 variant has a researchable laser rangefinder AND gets a rangefinder so large it absorbs every last piece of spawl you will ever get.
Historically accurate puma video pls
that part in the town was pretty badass
Awesome video
6:20 that's exactly what I do in the Maus and it works every time lmao. Bait people with the 75 then boom can't bounce the thickness.
1:50 orange for beak is a spark of genius
I think it would be pretty funny to watch you try the Tank Football mode!
Goddamn you Spookston 4.7 USSR is my favorite lineup and I played three matches with it today and almost everything I saw was an M6A1, half of which where reversing forward
Watching Spook just absolutely dunk on Tigers makes my day 😂😂
When my brother and i play 5.3, he absolutely slaps with this thing. Enemies often don't expect the second gun.
A missed opportunity for the "Mini Me" meme
M6A1: *rolls up*
Maus: *"I shall call him..... mini me."*
The rust headshot sound did not go unnoticed
Spookston, as a connoisseur of gremlin vehicles, might I suggest taking the Type 87 RCV (Race Car Vehicle) out for a spin? Loving the videos!
The m6 is one of the tanks that allows the player to double pump effectively
Spookston- pretty good match nine kilss
Me- 2 kills five deaths hmmm nice
loving the content dude nice work
I really appreciate the jumpscare moments, it's nice to see someone else react like i do :D
Spookton: talking about getting bombed
Me: spookton doesn't understand his purpose in warthunder
For fighting a kv1 you can shoot the flat part of the frontal turret armor this will kill the gunner i think. I have done this alot and it pretty much works. Sometimes it just kills the tank. I tried this while using a m4a1 with aphe.
3 bloody 50 cals as well. And the extra cannon.
Although looking at it, would be better with one hull mount HMG with more traversal.
spookston: "i am shocked that pened", 2 seconds later shoots him again and doesnt pen ....."ok"
Speaking of a smaller Maus, it would be cool to see you use the jagdtiger and see you suffe- I mean enjoy the slow and relaxing gameplay of a point and click adventure.
Centurion MK5/1 please! Its such a fun vehicle, massive glowup from the MK3
Calling the R3 a repair droid had me cackling like palpatine
4:22 I can explain why. The front hull is volumetric hell. Although 80mm, it has loads of edges and overlapping parts that makes penetration by guns like the Russian 76 impossible. The M6 was the bane of my existence as a 3.7-4.3 USSR player, since it was nearly impossible to penetrate if the hull was facing towards you. Thankfully the M6 and the KV-1(C) got uptiered to 5.0 meaning that 3.7 players no longer need to dread them and they are less common in their BR range since they aren’t as clubby anymore.
Spookston : Please leave me alone
Enemy team : We don't do that here
Gotta need to see some Breda 501 gameplay after that but upteir it to 7.3
I will enjoy see you playing the m46 dear Spook
Silliest question in a shooting game, "who did I upset?'.
3:10 at least they bothered to model the bow mg for once
That tank is so much empty space that unless you know where the ammo racks are located all you’re going to be hitting is dead air.
