The 3 inch gun carrier looks like the British thought "hey what if we misaligned the barrel to side so we look cooler than all the center-barreled TDs?"
It's a great idea honestly, it allows for better layout, way more spacing and possibly thicker protection, since they don't need a rotating basket for turret
The Ka-chi in the river. I realized it’s just old fashioned naval combat. You’re essentially shooting cannonballs at him and he’s basically in a ship of the line
Well, one of them is, don't think anyone knows what happened to the other 49. Common misconception this was not an experimental tank they actually built 50 of them, they just fell out of favour before they could see combat. IIRC they where used during the D-Day rehearsals though
6:45 that ki-43 that bombed you (sniperbub) would reappear in the video at 11:29 as the ka-mi you killed, and then would try to revenge bomb you multiple times, miss and crash at 11:45. it really is predictable
Oh my god! That urban fight with the Panzer 4 and StuG was amazing! I was both gripped and laughing so hard. That and just ignoring the SPAA pelting you with fire. Outstanding video Spook. Also, fun fact, the reason the ammo is so terrible is that the QF 3" was an obsolete WW1-era naval AA gun. This abomination was only ever meant to be a "can we fit anything high velocity and higher calibre than a 6 pounder (57mm) on a tank hull"? proof of concept.
This video features: - a moving barn - a cannon ball cosplaying as an AP shell - a shopping mall massacre - Frieza's „I am going to ignore that” recreated in WT
I'm surprised that Gaijin hasn't added the Cruiser Mk I (A9) or Cruiser Mk II (A10) to the low tiers of the British tech tree yet, they'd be perfect for being the new reserve vehicles.
Ladies and Gentlemen, pull out your Spookston Scavenger Hunt cards! In case you forgot them, here are your 9 for this video! - killed by CAS - Spookston mentions being tired or ill in some way - volumetric eats a shell, then the tank Spookston shoots turns and kills him - killed by CAS 2 - music from the HALO franchise - team disappears - solid shot not killing a crew member it hits directly - Spookston jumpscare - killed by an AA from the side Good luck! :D
Hello Spookston, since your CAS speedrun video I've had this idea that might be very fun (or very painful) for a video. Basically it is to play ground rb without ever spawning in a ground unit First, you spawn in a heli with dumb fire rockets, rush the enemy, get some kills, and spawn in a plane Pros: funniest shit ever for the sole reason that it's possible Cons: need to become a heli rusher and be damned for all eternity
6:01 obstacle in our path is (at least for me) an incredibly rare crew callout line when ranging tanks where you get the voice line but cant actually see the tank (guy replied not what I thought)
It must only be for the British crew, or at least not the US crew, because I've never heard it. I know someone who plays Britain, and they said they've heard it when they run into something, prop or terrain, not when ranging.
I never even had the slightest idea that it was possible to have indoors battles in War Thunder, but that was unironically one of the most entertaining things I've seen in this game and I wasn't even involved.
Said this on the last video, but since this one is new: Last night I was opening a few crates I had while watching one of your videos and pulled the Heavy Tank No.6, thank you, Mister Ston.
@@IM_8685 Currently sitting at 4.6, so the No.6 is gonna be a nice boon. Trying to get a lineup that'll compliment it, which means playing through the Japanese air tree for me
@@slothman7368 well at least the pain that I went through is reduced for you with the economy changes and the premium the amount of time this tree took from for only getting to 5.7 is ridiculous as in other tree I would have hit the top tier by then. There were no good line ups for that range ,M4A3, Chi-ri,ch-ito,Chi-to late.
21st time challenging Spookston to bring the Char 25t into an 8.3 lineup, and then incrementally increase the BR to find when the tank becomes unironically unplayable.
THE MAD LAD ONLY WENT AND DID IT! 128 videos of asking and we got *something* on a Churchill chassis, and arguable the most torturous selection as well! Now do a "normal" variant of the Churchill. I'll be generous and re-start the video count as this being video number 1 of asking for it.
13:14 Ah yes, the B1 Bis! You should totally play it, it sits at such a nice seal clubbing br, where there are absolutely no long 75s or up armored panzer IIIs.
Hey spookston, glad your giving the british tech tree some time in the lime light. I have a suggestion, play the Achilles, its a British M10 that i really enjoy using
As a new player this has been my main tank. You cannot believe the amount of joy this video brings me to see it actually doing something against panzer IV’s (my worst nightmare). I found it was perfect for jamming myself in a corridor and tanking everything lighter than a tank destroyer round with its thick frontal armour. The map with the shopping mall you called a COD map is actually my favourite for this tank. Limited opportunities to be flanked, i once got my tracks and barrel destroyed in one of the hallways, and the 5 enemy’s in front of me just had to sit there and wait while I repaired as they couldn’t do anything to that front plate. Good luck with the “Archer” that came before this, paper mache for armour and a backwards mounted gun you needed to spin 180 to use…. Absolutely impossible unless camping
I’ve recently started getting into tanks and I also love the gun carrier but the archer isn’t bad you just shouldn’t be fighting other Main battle tanks with it
The only things I know I can be pen by are KV-1s M4A3 and 4 dicker max and chi ha something apart from that if you angle you should be almost invincible at the BR
I love videos where hes like “this is gonna get so horrible” then in the end he understands why we love playing vehicles like this so much, theyre goofy, theyre bad, theyre extremely good and so much fun :D
The A13s got a pretty big buff to their turret traverse a little while back so it is comically fast. Low tier Britain is pretty good now so idk if you'd want to make a vid on them.
This thing is actually surprisingly quick to turn, the rest of its mobility is terrible but its got good neutral turning Trick to playing this tank destroyer is to angle like a tiger, let the enemy shoot you while you’re invincible, then turn and kill them
The thing that saves it is the fact it gets neutral steering. There’s no angled armor, but with Neutral steering you can *become* angled before enemies can take a shot at you. I loved playing this early in the British tree, and I usually don’t like ground
The 3 inch gun carrier looks like the British thought "hey what if we misaligned the barrel to side so we look cooler than all the center-barreled TDs?"
Most TD's didn't have a center barrel, like 90% of German and Soviet ones had them more towards one side
It’s done for more internal space

If you an SPAA and the guy you’re shooting just ignores you, you know you’ve become a RAT.
Really Annoying Tank
Spookston: Complains that he had wrecked a fountain
Also Spookston: Has an entire war in the middle of a mall
Spookstons "I hate x round so much" > proceeds to one shot most things
Ah yes, this fun thing thats currently sat as a rusted hulk.
Keeping that going in game as well!
They really need to rebuild it and put it on display
If the FV4005 is getting restored we should get the 3 Inch Gun Carrier Restored
F for the Churchill gc ✌️
Well, one of them is, don't think anyone knows what happened to the other 49.

Enemies are so surprised to actually see this POS that you get an extra second to make that first shot.

was just about to comment this
Its so funny how easily that guy went to revenge bomb. CAS players are all the same...

Both of the Centaur AA's are still sitting in the files unfortunately

You're...surprised Gaijin hasn't added low/reserve tier vehicles to the British TT? My brother in Christ...
I am not a WT player, aren't they already in the game, that is crazy. They add so many bs vehicles but no early cruisers? mann

Speaking of dumb tank destroyers, you should play the Semovente 75/46 M43.

No, he should play the semovente M41M

Hello Spookston, since your CAS speedrun video I've had this idea that might be very fun (or very painful) for a video. Basically it is to play ground rb without ever spawning in a ground unit
First, you spawn in a heli with dumb fire rockets, rush the enemy, get some kills, and spawn in a plane
Pros: funniest shit ever for the sole reason that it's possible
Cons: need to become a heli rusher and be damned for all eternity
AAA: Stop ignoring me!
Spookston: NO.
Nah it's more SPAA: "Stop ignoring me!"
Spookston: "Must have been the wind."
Britain : We need a new tank! Got any ideas?
