The ZiS-30 tank destroyer is definitely one of the goofier vehicles in War Thunder. Its appearance is pretty amusing, and its suspension is extremely bouncy. That doesn't make it bad though. While its gameplay can be frustrating, it's actually a very good TD.

The Soviet Tractor Tank - Ігри
When they call this thing the "danger tractor", what they don't tell you is that it's just as dangerous for its own crew as it is for the enemy.
They should call it the dangerous danger
I love my zis-30 my first god mode was in that.
Hey!!! Dont say that to this mighty tractor this things have been killing TIGOR and panther >:(
Ye
The all around danger tractor 😊
I absolutely LOVE this little guy. He works so well as a goblin all the way until around 5.7
Brought it to 6.3 and got 4 targets before it was knocked out! Thanks to my friend who provided cover with his burning carcass!
It gets absolutely powerscaled by the Marder III tho. Same reload, more ammo, except it’s a 76mm and gets APCR
I was playing my 2S38 the other day and a player on my team was in this thing and got a couple of kills, me and my friend were hysterics.
The asu57 beats it at its own job at 4.3 and above
@@pearelectronics3083 but does it reward you with a skills matter medal? Also the zis30 gets 1 more pen with base ammo.
I always love the recurring gag with LVTs being so stubborn to destroy
LVTs either tank more shots than a nazi's vision of a tiger assault or die instantly to a passing breeze and there is no in between
it's all the empty space between the 6 crew members
I wonder what video it was that also had him struggle destroying LVTs, cause I cant remember
any low tier video he's done@@zech7896
@@zech7896 I think it was at least in 2 other older ones, but I haven't seen his whole back catalogue yet. I'm happy to see the gag return heh!

Dude, I almost burst out in laughter from that scene
I DID burst out laughing. It was so funny.
That Sherman 105 wanted to send a message.
ivan: ay boris theres a tractor there
boris: slap a gun onto it and make it function
I take it you are not familiar with ww2 new Zealand tank design 😂
@@INSANESUICIDE high tech i must say that they made it function lol
@@xserriuss I mean.. It worked when they tried it, how well it would have worked in a warzone is arguable. Then again, anything that can fire and ignore small arms is still something that is capable of decimating infantry, tractor or not.
"bob semple" is the name of the "tank" for anyone curious
Ivan: Da Boris, Da.
The difference between BR-271 and BR-271K is a bit more complex.
BR-271 is blunt APHEBC, while BR-271K is uncapped APHE.
BR-271K has more TNT equivalent, and better penetration at angles of 55 to 65º when at very close range. However, due to being uncapped APHE, it will also ricochet substantially more than BR-271 at those angles, specially due to the lower caliber of the cannon itself.
Besides that, BR-271 has a ballistic cap, while 271K does not. This gives BR-271 less drag and makes it lose substantially less penetration over distance. At distances of 500 meters or more, BR-271 is simply superior in penetration at all angles when compared to BR-271K.
Overall, I'd rather use BR-271. I prefer better ballistics and lower chance of ricochet over slightly higher damage and a penetration advantage that only works in a very narrow band.
Also, T20 when? The mobility has been buffed, it's quite fun to use in my experience.

Spook: "Anything I can shoot over here?"
Also Spook: "ТЕЛЕФОН"
12:43 the handle on the back of the gun is part of the travel lock system, there is an H frame in the rear of the vic that locks on two pegs controlled by that handle, it helps stabilise the gun gradle
"Just use the fift- (BOOM)"- famous last words
It's a great TD if you can hide well, and it's so tiny the enemy might not notice you. been caught off guard so many times...
It's incredible how that Outlast music fits into so many situations in WT. nice impromptu Doordash review too
"Just use the fift-"
Sherman 105: *NO*
Day 2: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.
i support you
You sir and or madam are a genuines
@@BROTHERHOOD_OF_NOD1995 me?
@@AlbanianEmir Boy did he tag you?
Kpz is better
This was one of my first "favorite" tanks when I started playing. Such a fun TD to use. Goofy and awkward is the perfect words for it.
I literally cheered 8:22. we have no business trying to shoot helis or planes with main guns, but its so damn cool when it works out.
I rollercoaster of emotions 12:31 is the reason I love the game. Things go change so quickly lolol. It's a comedy of errors.
9:15 has to be the funniest meme I've seen in a spookston video and I laugh at a lot of em

The French has the Lorraine 37L which is basically zis 30 with solid shot at 1.3. I've gotten more kills with that thing than any other french tank
I love that thing, except for the low ammo…. It’s a great option to uptier though!
Given Spookston's gremlin nature I'm genuinely surprised he's not played this tank yet. Also Foch video please :)
The history behind this tractor is a pretty interesting one as they used for a wide variety of things including even a troop transport.
Consider playing the FIAT 6614. It is a fast affordable option at 6.7. it sports a powerful 106 recoilless rifle with 433 mm of pen. Did I mention it's 4x4 off-road capabilities! Truly one of the "tanks of its br (it's a armoured car).
Another good ol' fun Spookston video as always!
You should play the Ratel tanks either the Ratel 90 or 20, It may be big and slow but having an ATGM at 6.7 with a decent autocannon is great.
Especially on factory where I had a great round where its just tall enough to shoot above the factory windows!
I really love your videos man! Really fun to watch and pretend that I could have this much fun :3
What I like about your channel is that you actually cap and you don't (or try not to) spawn camp. I watch four other channels, and they ALL do the opposite, so well done my friend! Thumbs up!
I don't actually want to request any vehicles, I'm just here to watch Spook have a time and laugh at his jokes.
Keep it up, gamer.
He is definitely entertaining. Would love to play a few matches with him, if nothing else for the jokes
I would love to see you play the R3 T106, it's an extremely silly and fun italian light tank
I remember this little fella being great last time I played it, a real joy of a TD.
That was also around when tanks first went live, which, if I recall, was when planes weren't allowed in Ground and tanks' MGs didn't work yet.
14:07 Bits like these are why I love these videos. Did not expect that at all and I laughed pretty hard.
Also, holy shit, shrapnel shell in the killfeed at 7:26
The ZiS-30 is one of the best gremlin vehicles in the game. If you cover this thing in bushes, you're essentially invisible. It's fairly mobile, so you can get to good sniping spots easily. It's very tiny, so spotting it across the map, especially behind cover, is very unlikely in the heat of battle. Above all else, that Soviet 57mm is a beautiful thing. Amazing range, great penetration, and enough explosive filler to do a lot of damage to most tanks you'll face.
"If you cover this thing in bushes" 🤮
"If you cover this thing in bushes"
You're part of the problem.
@@DerAlleinTiger I don't personally, but I've certainly seen them. Rather, I didn't until they killed me.
No, if I use bushes at all, it's to make semi-realistic camouflage on SPAA or SPGs, something that fits what I've seen on historical examples. I never just slap a fucking wall of leaves in front of my tank, I think that's scummy as fuck and looks awful anyway.
Bushes are the first thing I ever bought in this game and I will never go into battle with 6 bushes on each vehicle
I demand a bushed up Sturmtiger Goblin Gameplay.
so glad to see you playing my fave lil doomtraktor!
Never played a lot of warthunder but Spooks videos are a blast to binge
I recommend the Ro-Go for it is unstoppable.
You should play the semovente 90/53 M41M. It only has 8 shells, but it always one shots. Forces you to play tactically around the bases, pretty unique and fun
Thank you for the LVT meme. Been a while since I saw it and I still laugh every time.
I have been waiting for this tank for ever!
Это не трактор. Это артелирийский тягач. Он тянул за собой гаубицы и прочие стационарные орудия.(про Комсомольца в начале.)
Artillery tractor и есть, как тип техники. Но здесь действително шутки про сельхоз технику.
Man, tractors with a gun on it really do hit different.
Hi Spookston I got your merch for Christmas and I’m very pleased, thank you
It's always a good day when Spookston uploads!
I remember first grinding the USSR tech tree and I played the ZiS-30 to death, it's a really good tank destroyer just unfortunate that a lot of planes are more common nowadays, bushes help but only to a certain extent. I'd recommend if we're playing danger tractors to try out the original small boi (a.k.a. ASU-57)
Used this thing all the way up to like 4.7. It's honestly really good
It reminds me of the ELC BIS, terrible chassis but the gun is awesome, once it settles down and stops bouncing like its on a trampoline.
It works fine at 8.3
Hi Spookston, as much as I like the other Warthunder content creators, your channel is by far my favorite as each video is so entertaining from the beginning to the end. Keep going. 😀
I love how the shadow of the plane passing over Spookston sent him into a panic
Hi mr spookson. Can you do a video on the leopard1 please?
Its 8.0 now right?
@@hanslanda-eh9ffyea, its kinda Hard when you are in uptier
Or maybe the m48a2 C which its in 7.7 now
Day 109 of asking spookston to play the 15cm sIG
9:34 Richard Watterson, is that you?
Non War Thunder-related Spookston stories are the best. They’re so entertaining
Spookston can u try the T55 AMD-1 i find it very good at its Br and has a fun lineup and destroys most things at its respected br
spookston i want you to play a good tank try the OF-40 mk2 or the premium it’s so fun to play
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 130)
Im surprised you had such a rough time, this was one of my favourite gremlin tonks
4:12 "Just use your 50" ah man best scene ever
You should play the Ki-Ne, its honestly a nice little tank, not the best pen or HE filler, but its fast, small, and has a stab all at 1.0
Hi spookston, can you do the shell eater Aka the US T32 ?
"we dont need the anchors" immediately has so much recoil its a surprise the guys are still on the back
According to manual, that handle is used to lock the moving part of recoil mechanism for "travel mode", at least on towed version of the gun.
for anybody not familiar with the soviet 57mm guns:
*do not use the BR-271K round! Always use the non K variant (so use the stock ammo), as it has much better angle pen and less pen loss at distance!*
Low tier magnification and shell deviation limit just how far you can effectively fire, so we're most the time not firing over 1000 meters, especially since many low tier maps have you firing less than that.
The problem with the stock shell is it has less filler than even the russian 45, and is nearly equivalent to british 40 mm APHE. It is never fully reliable in taking out everything you want, and the K allows more forgiveness in this way
@@Gracefulwarrior2124 I have many 100s of battles with this gun, and used both shells extensively. The damage difference is precisely ZERO between the 2 shells.
21.56g vs 27.72g will do the same damage.
And, when you take the horrible angle pen of the K round, it is just a very bad shell.
Many times, even at point blank range, the K round just bounces off a Sherman or T-34's upper plate.
The stock shell is less likely to bounce, tho it can also do it, just less often.
it's 2.3, not a single god damn thing can block your shots. it doesn't matter.
Day 5 of asking for a Cromwell v rp3 video
It's always a good day when Daddy Spookston upload
Appreciate you bro
I would love you doing a video on the M4A3 (105). It’s the first Sherman you unlock in the US tech tree and it has a 105mm gun designed to destroy anything with a good HE round as well as APHE
No APHE only the M4 105, only HE and HEAT
You’ve not played the 105 Sherman, It only gets HE and HEAT, stop lying
i remember when i had a 4sec reload
It has HE and HEAT.
He's mentioned before that he doesn't like it
Instead of an AT-ST it reminds me more of the AT-DP 0:14
8:39 that clip of the Joker in the Dark Knight with Batman "hit me! hit me!"
4:10 man, the source metal hit sound is too good hahaha
"Basically a tractor with a gun on it" exactly how I described it to my friends after seeing it
4:42 killed me off. Peak editing!
"just use your 50-" gets fucking evaporated, Gonne, reduced to atoms
the chassis of this thing is actually a T-20 Komsomolets, a small, ligtly armored apc, used to transport soldiers and gears. They just staple a gun on it and there you go. This apc was a unlockable vehicle to play with as the soviet faction in Heroes and Generals, R.I.P this extremely flawed yet awesome game
9:01 if that's your kitchen you need to clean it
I don't think people want to see you suffer, but its comforting seeing a youtuber struggle like the rest of us.
I was NOT ready for that cut off 😂 4:12
learning to aim into the bounce of the ZiS-30 is an art
Loved watching this. Playing tank destroyers in warthunder is a painful experience. Can I suggest a video on the Turan III? It is one of my favorite tanks for rank III.
"You know, casual triple kill with a casemate, it's no big deal. Do it all the time, definitely." Spookston lied as naturally as he breathed.
10:57 ambush tactics? in a tank destroyer? how dare you!
13:19. lmao, it made me remember that video when spookston fired like 4-5 rounds into a lvt, and it didn't die
5:11 I like how the bomb landed under the Crusader and proceeded to kill everything BUT the tank it was under,
Ahh yes favorite yeet tractor!
I absolutely love taking this thing way above its Br, usually around 8.3. Still throttles some light tanks. Very satisfying.
Spoken fighting a Sherman: Just use your 50.... (blows up)
best cut-off moments in war thunder history.
This was my favorite tank back when I played the game. No armor, no speed, no suspension, and a BIG gun.
11:07 Man, if only the tank destroyer wasn't designed as an ambush predator. What a wild concept. Lol.
I do not know why and am not willing to defend it but best use of Generals theme track with this video.
he finally played my favorite tank :)
Spooooook, the 105 Tiger II and Panther II are sitting at extremely good macthmaking atm.
I used to love this thing so much
I absolutely love the ZIS and it performs well at 4.0 where I cannot let it go
This little fella is quite possibly my favorite Soviet ground vehicle in War Thunder.
Loved the sudden телефон
YESS YOU FINALLY PLAYED THE SOVIET LUNCHBOX
This is even more fun in SB when your camera is locked to the gun shield
I’m known as the Zis-30 guy in all my warthunder discord servers. I have a k/d of 1.3 and almost 1,700 kills. I mostly play top tier with it. I love this tonk!
14:07 And this has been your АБВ's With Споокстон
I love how they thought the shermans were basically tin cans with people inside and that getting in one would be a death sentence while at the same time they have the ZiS-30
I love how the loader is sitting there, holding on for dear life, while the gunner is just casually surfing on the back of a moving tractor...
13:18
You did it again! 😂
"Spookston dying to CAS" is the free space in bingo
I loved this thing back in the day.
57mm is actually a VERY high velocity canon for it's time. For a crappy tractor, it's very much a necessity to protect the drivetrain.
Probably my favorite little tank destroyer: fast, quick reload, very flat trajectory and fast round
It's genuinely useable up through 5.0 if you're a rat and get side/rear shots
Can we take a moment to talk about Spookston's new thumbnail styling? It looks amazing!
Love that little tractor
My man is always talking about food somewhere in the video😂
Ahhh one of my favourite tanks while I was grinding the Soviet lineup. I believe I kept it up with me all the way till IS-1 back when it used to be 5.3 lineup and it still worked fine. Just lovely "rat" tank at that tier. At lower tiers its just devastating, you can oneshot pretty much anything that comes in front of you.
Edit: Little fun fact about this vehicle. You can see those "legs" at the back of the vehicle. In real life it could not shoot without them being deployed all the way back. Otherwise the recoil of the gun would have flipped the entire thing over :D Basically this thing was just a T-20 "Komsomolets" armored tractor with large gun (ZiS-2) slapped on top of it. T-20 was originally used for equipment/ammo and artillery moving.
Way more entertaining then high tier vidz :)
