The M4 Sherman medium tank is one of the most produced tanks in history, and that is reflected in War Thunder where it is extremely ubiquitous. With Gaijin recently adding the Swedish Sherman III/IV, every tech tree has one now.

day 65 of asking for an m278 cev video.
Day 15, Italian M15/42
Hey Spook, I'd like to see you play the Stug III A. It's a really overlooked low tier TD that can work as a brawler with decent armor, good mobility and a quick-reloading point-and click HEAT dispenser.
YIPPIEE SPOOKIE 😻
Not the rays cons
A Sherman without a 50cal is like a burger without cheese.
Still good, but missing something
I hate it, but he's right
I swear there's a Lend Lease Sherman to France or Britain with a 30 cal on top instead and it just feels wrong.
@@RKNGLthe m51 Sherman has the mini browning
False
The Sherman is the crab of War Thunder tech tree vehicles.
I smell.. A Battletech reference? Perhaps.
@@WyvernCV I was more referencing carcinisation, a phenomena where crabs have evolved separately dozens of times because it’s peak performance. A ton of things that are referred to as “crabs” or “crab-like” are actually distantly related.
Shermanization
Litterally just started this video after watching a video on this, what even is reality.@@loganb7059
It amuses me that there actually was a Sherman Crab, a mine flail tank.
It's kinda surreal seeing yourself get destroyed by Spookston. My heart stopped when I saw a M4 on the battlefield cuz I knew it would get the shot off first and I knew there was something up when he was decimating our team singlehandedly. Keep up the good work Spookston! I was GameCubeGuy in that first match
I'd say it's almost an honor, being killed by an absolute legend of the game, may it be Spookston, Phly, Oddbawz, or any other WarThunder celebrity.
Oddbawz once saved my life, flanking around an enemy and killing him. So far I have met Bo time and Odd in matches.
@@awesomeness360SP i once managed to get a kill on oddbawz so that's something i guess?
@@kriegkorpsmen1066 I'd run in fear if i knew Odd was in a match against me and I'd probably goof off if i was in the same match as Bo
Where was you bf 109 when spookston ravaged your team?
I don't have a specific vehicle in mind but I really like watching you play tanks you find funny. You cackling like an absolute goblin while sneaking around is MINT
I dont know what it is about this thing, but i always get an absurd amount of kills in this sherman specifically
The Swedish Touch!
I used to hate shermans since i thought they were ugly but this thing changed my mind
Might just be playing against old, well known tanks, and against the other "main three" factions.
I had 14 kills in one go with this sherman, best tank ever made
Same thing for me, I think it's because it loses the sherman most known weak spot, the machine gun, and at this br not every tank pens a sherman easily on front
Thank you for uploading my man !
It always makes the day 40% better
Wake up, get CAS'd, dammit
That's an oddly specific percentage
@@federicoberna643 it’s true tho
Bro activates a 40% happiness booster
@@bazooka712 you're finally awake that was a bad hit back there.
The hull machine gun is covered up as well! No week zone on the Front Plate. The 500hp engine is nice too, the quickest sherman at low tier. Beast of a tank!
The whole turret is the weak spot but nobody shoot a Sherman on the turret lol
@@danawr45 It really isnt. Try to shoot it and enjoy 10000 non-pens and ricochets, even with panther by some reason (ESPECIALLY M51, i hate this mf and its bugged turret armor). Hull is weak and gives you one shot - one kill, and does not posses t34 bugged armor level qualities.
"Do you like this tank?" "Sure, man!"
Hey spooks! Was wondering if you would play the breda 90/53? I got to use my rental today and consistently had games of 7-9 kills minimum in it. It's insanely fun. Only thing it lacks is depression, meaning it should make for a very happy video :)
Breda 501
They're different things @@connivingkhajiit
@@Volution1 i meant he should do the breda 501
@@connivingkhajiitboth have the same gun. The only difference is depression, mobility and 501 at 1 br high
I love that thing, got it free from doing challenges and it's great fun!
You can see that this was taken before the SAV 20 was available, when you take a look in the kill feed
you can literally see a SAV at 5:20
@@Potatomnk Yes, but the Sav was a very rare vehicle
That goes for the Vickers Mk. E, which introduced the T-26, a massive force of over 12k tanks if I remember correctly. It also happens to be in the Swedish Tech Tree, as the first tank of the Finnish subtree.
Introduced lol. Did you know that out of 6 soviet engineers who were in the UK Vickers factory not a single lived up to the euro ww2 start lol? (source Bratinskyi)
@@thedevilneveraskstwice7027 If I remember correctly, the T-26 was obsolete by WWII, and was many an interwar tank used in the Russo-Finnish war and a few others. While it would still see some action around that time, it was no longer top of the line.
You should try the Churchill NA75. It's like a 75 Sherman, but worse in almost every single regard!
YES
Peak engeneering
Churchill, but a decent gun for once.
@@davidty2006 Well...other churchills with 76mm cannon could (historically and in wt) use american ammo. 4.7 one even has m61 shell from us, but it doesnt have a filler by some reason.
@@alexturnbackthearmy1907 because it seems to be a fucking law in warthunder that british tanks are prohibited to have so
Hey Spook, I'd like to see you play the Stug III A. It's a really overlooked low tier TD that can work as a brawler with decent armor, good mobility and a quick-reloading point-and click HEAT dispenser.
7:00 this is the sound I will show to anyone who asks "why do you play war thunder". pure joy.
Great day when Spookston uploads lol these Shermans are always fun.
Btw Spookston you should play the Ratel 20 or 90 soon, its big get meh mobility but having an ATGM at 6.7 is great especially on factory map since your just tall enough to shoot it!
Shermans you can boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew.
Love the unloved M47 Patton day 98!
You should play another vehicle from the Swedish Tech tree, the Charioteer Mk7
It feels weird actually being awake at this time and watching a spookston video when is releases.. not gonna complain though, it's fun!
Also spook, I think you should try out some of the earlier Patton tanks, would love to see a video on an M46, since it's basically a modified Pershing!
you should try out the Rooikat Mk.1D!
-76mm apfsds is pain 76mm apfsds is pain 76mm apfsds is pain- i mean uh 76mm apfsds always one shots everything, kills crew members when hitting them directly 100% of the time, never disappears randomly, never bounces off of anything, and never fails to explode ammo after hitting it directly
The fact this thing is in the exact same BR as the SAV so you have can each of those in the same line-up is downright bullying.
Play the black night on the British tech tree please
Speaking of Sweden getting tanks from other nations, they could get a Tiger II, as they got one after WWII for use as target practice. But for balance reasons, it's gonna be a premium, of course.
dont forget KV1B for the Finish tree 😎finally... HEAVY ARMOUR!!!!!!
They can also get a Panther if my memory is correct.
@@liladoodle Everyone can. The thing was just as numerous as pz4, but unlike 4th panzer there is much more surviving panthers.
The British captured two panther tanks during ww2 they where named Cuckoo and Deserter.
Spookston: "Have I mentioned how much I hate the T-34's mantlet?"
Me: "I do not think so, but the Panther. The Panther is a different story."
In my opinion instead of playing a specific tank in war thunder, you should throw a curveball and play some random tank game. For instance find a Roblox game with tanks and play that. Extra points if you insist that it’s just a new warthunder update. Also love the content it is the only reason I play war thunder… so on second thought you are responsible for a large amount of the pain in my life.
Don't blame others just don't play it.
Same, WT is angering 9.9/10 but it's spookston content and that 0.1 awesome game that keeps ya going
"cursed tank simulator" on roblox is surprisingly similar to war thunder (the grind isnt as bad though)
@@Taco908gets tier 3-4 *looks inside* downtiered 88 sadge
@@TyDye_NP the reload though :trol:
Yo Spookston, play the M26 Pershing, would love to hear your thoughts on it now that it's 6.7.
I love your content, Spookston.
I love the memes, the audio ones and the visual ones. The way you talk about things and your sense of humor are so endearing, to me. I get excited when I see you've uploaded and often feel joy while watching your videos. I like the more technical videos, too.
I appreciate what you do, man.
Spookston there's only 2 youtubers I make time out of my day to watch and you're one of them, I gotta thank you for making my day better every day
Would love to see a video on the M43 75/46
You should try the AMX M4 since its a really fun autoloader tank with PCO-50 that can pen panthers UFP and jumbo 76
Fun until you have to spend 5 min reloading drum after just 7 shots.
Idk why I laughed so hard at that Lord Farquad dog image and dial tone combo.
5:50 the reason I never attempt barrel shots and refuse to believe anyone who says they work.
I only ever seem to have luck with properly busting barrels while playing Britain and aim for barrels as my opening shot pretty often if the enemy knows my position. Maybe solid shot just works better at breaking them or something
@@MaliciousGrim05 Also aiming for muzzle break/end of barrel works better by some reason. Otherwise shells seem to just disappear/ricoshet.
Would love to see a video on the Turan III! It seems like such a sad little tank whenever I come across it
maybe you could try the M18 Super Hellcat?
After doing some digging, I realised you havent done a video on the 75/46 M43, and I think you would enjoy it. You will absolutely not regret playing the 75/46 M43 (Its a gremlin-small vehicle with surprisingly good gun-handling and enough armour on the superstructure to tell alot of smaller guns to go home and sleep it off)
7:02
OMG, that sound - Not the laugh, but right after...
Just... 💯👌
Day 2 of asking Spookston to play the FV4202
Day 67 of asking Spookston to play the t-35
watching this channel while playing war thunder is like macrodosing
Sherman III/VIII is such a joy to play because you can actually have a chance to ricochet shots
Any allied countries: Hey, can I get tanks?
USA: Sherman!
"In the red corner we have the Sherman!
In the blue corner is "checks notes" the Sherman with a funny hat!"
-The snail probably
Rare skaven scurry away featured. keep up the good work spookston, love your videos!
I got a lineup with this and the sav.20.12.48, very OP and I love playing it. It helped me get through a good chunk of the research tree
Warthunder: the game where the answer to the question "What tank am I going to face in this battle" technically can always be "A Sherman" no matter what nation you are playing or going against.
You could hear the ratyness coming out of him at 07:00
You avenged your CAS oppressor this video; Even without the 50 cal the table has turned with the Sherman's
Spookston: gets 15 kills on first round
Me: hit, explode, end of match
That intro is playing 3.7 in a nutshell. The hordes of M4 Sherman players literally rising out of the ground like orcs
I love this tank, getting the trifecta of major power mediums is really fun. I recommend trying the IKV103 and taking it into higher tiers. A little broken as 16 degrees of depression and 400mm pen heatfs at 4.0 but being really squishy
Day 11 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.
Spookston you should play the Eland 90 Mk.7 from the British tech tree its everything you love, being fast, small and just very funny, the only downside is the 90mm heat doesn't like to do damage sometimes
Gaijin not breaking the tradition of putting a better version of a vehicle into another nations tech tree at the same BR
A Sherman Can Be Used for Almost Anything, Clearing Mines, Shooting Stuff, For Floating I Mean Sinking, Setting Things on Fire, Rocketing Stuff, Dozing Stuff, Engineering Stuff, Heavy Armor Ones, Low Armor Ones, Big Gun Ones, Small Gun Ones, maybe even for food delivery. Anyways good video!
Thats literaly every tank ever built
@@robertharris6092 I am saying that Shermans can be used for anything and can be found anywhere and for anyone.
pretty great to hear someone having a good time :)
People often trash talk shermans but they are definitely capable in the right hands!
Fun vid, Mr Spookston
Of all the Shermans, this one's probably the best since it doesn't have the massive gaping weakspots on the front of the tank like most Shermans do.
These things were horrendous to fight against when you're playing with T-34s, it's like seeing your imminent doom rapidly approaching you.
2:40 game is so realistic that it not only deafens the crew, but the player too!
"The Germans are not known for their good reverse speed"
Leopard 1: it might seem crazy what im about to say
12:27 *sigh* since no one else has mentioned it... "I mean Sherman"
Hey, nice. I gave WT a try recently and this is the premium I allowed myself to buy just to help skip some stock grinds and such. It's got surprisingly good armor. The gun is so-so in regards to velocity and penetration, but when it rips it really rips.
Yeah this round is not bad but gets a lot better when you know more weakspots on the tanks you are facing.
Fun fact. The Swedish M4 is the first M4A3 in War thunder to have the Small turret and a 75. This is due to it having the Ford GAA engine
spookston in a sherman is like the hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby meme
This tank with the sav, pz iv, t-34 and j26 david is literally my favorite lineup
The Sherman/SAV combo goin crazy rn
love getting a sponsored segment about the earbuds im using lol
Genuinely my favorite Sherman and lineup; pz4, t-34, Sherman, and (ofc) Sav 20.12.48
"The dented cranium of things..."
Picture of Tyler
You sir, deserve many good things! :D
genuinely my favorite sherman variant, probably the best of the ones armed with the 75mm. another really good amazing perfect vehicle that gets so many kills is the ratel 90, which i think you should play
6:35 dangerous Skaven behavior lmao
the stone grinding sound makes it 100x funnier 😂
The Sherman the perfect middle ground and tun tank to play.
I laughed far too much at this one. Dear god, the sound effects make it so much funnier.
Chaffee, my beloved.
My fav tank in game is the Chi-He, got 7-13 kills in 4 games (losing about 18) but still its so much fun when it works, that Japanese 57 just does work
bro i love the welding shorts
I promise you spookston that if you try the Matilda Hedgehog that will help you love the British tech tree again
the very best thing on this tank is that massive weakspot missing
12:30 "I mean, SHER man". Highly topical!
A Sherman without a .50-cal on top, such heresy
Just got this from the warbond shop so its great to see it actually pretty good
This tank helped me grind out the painful Swedish mid tier, I have the 122s now but this thing is a fucking legend.
Now that every tree has a Sherman, soon, every tree will have a T34.
7:01 most visceral Spookston reaction yet
glad you covered this, I've been playing it for the last 2 months and am glad you pointed out the flaws and strengths so other dont have to lrarn the way i did lmao
Some of the best matches I have ever experienced in War Thunder stem from this tank. It is an absolute gem in Sweden's already busted 3.7 line-up!
i like that spookston sounds so happy this video
6:44 yeah I tend to throw out arty whenever off cooldown just to hopefully catch someone
loved that skaven refrence
My favourite anti sher an vehicle is the pz III M with the sideskirts r angling it's surprisingly tough to pen for its weight, although it's gun is quite limited even if it is fast
I think maybe a good series might be the best lineup and BR for each nation.
Fun fact, Spookston never got killed by CAS in this video.
You get a Sherman and you get a Sherman! Everyone gets a Sherman!
Shermans are so fun to play,its like the T-34 and PZ IV mixed into the perfect war machine
This is the swedish equivalent of the KV1-C
In an uptier: good but you will struggle a bit
At it's tier: really good
In a downtier: *diabolical*
You have all the Shermans of the common variant, the Swede is the toughest and most advantageous
i think it would be fun to see Spookston play the KV-2 but with the G-530 shell, which is very funni. And maybe an updated video of the Centurion Mk.5 AVRE/FV4005, cause big BESH round is basically a nuke fired from a cannon.
that feeling when spookston uploads on your birthday
Finally this sherman jr. gets some recognition! You should try out the wiesel 1a4 to really show your true gremlin colors by the way!
You should play that jak thing that's foldered with the TAM as it's rather forgotten
The sherman on sherman violence is off te Charts in this one
