The German tech tree in War Thunder has plenty of great tanks, but few are as versatile as the Gepard anti-air vehicle. Based on the Leopard 1, it can shred pretty much anything it sees, whether they're tanks or planes. It doesn't even need the sabot.

Germany's Anti-Everything Tank
400k Q&A this weekend hopefully (maybe)
Is there gonna be a community post or we ask here?
YIPPIEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Roger that!
Where did you get your profile pic spooksy
Can you play the l3 at top tier
Fun fact!
The same company that made the 35mm cannons for the Gepard, also makes brake parts for locomotives. Used also outside Germany.
I mean...Oerlikon's a Swiss company, so yeah. Of course used outside Germany.
That is so based, casually makes a cannon, but then also makes brakes for trains hahaha
they also make wheel barrings for trains and barrels for the m82a3
Just used Oerlikon welding electrodes, equipment this week, they are a pretty big, diverse company
@@hunter_0221 Switzerland is just smol Germany but better at everything
"at least 4 tanks trying to cross at once." >cuts to next match.
Something tells me there was at least, 4 tanks.
There were indeed, 4 crossing tank.

9:22 rare occurrence of a non bleeped spookston swear
I thought the same. It's as rare as the cicadas rising from the ground.
@@wifelikecow God, don't get me started on cicadas. Was down in Missouri for a family reunion, cicadas were out in full force. We shot guns that day, pretty sure the cicadas were still louder. It was legit disorienting by the end of the day, though the sunburn didn't help with that.
@@panther-nk2hn Tell me about it. I used to live in Corpus Christi TX. I swear on god them things were everywhere every summer.
Gonna be honest I didn't even notice it at first lol
fr been a 3 year fan and never heard him swear
The main reason why people don't constantly talk about the Gepard being an absolute menace to basically everything is because it's just become commonly accepted facts
Another thing that helps is the fact that a large portion of the players using it are absolutely braindead. If they were smart, the gepard would shread anything. It's better than the shilka in every way: speed, penetration, damage, reaction time, accuracy, and even protection, as seen in the video. And yet somehow, when i play, i get more kills in my shilka than the allied gepards.
Only for non RU vhc
In real life it was also recently discovered that they're a great counter to small drones and loitering munitions. Everyone (especially the Dutch and German armies) is now realising that it was a mistake getting rid of their Gepards in favour of missile based anti air.
@@RoonMian Most aircraft at that time there much faster and they would be even faster by now, than a Gepard could destroy them, back 30 years ago. Drones and such are slow in comparison.
@@hijackdallas6052 There was no value judgment intended in my comment. I sure hope that the decision was made with the best information available at the time.
But it was still wrong in hindsight. Shit happens.
11:20
"Das war ein voller erfolg, Kamaraden. Stellung sichern."
Or
"That was a complete success, comrades. Secure the Position."
The 'comrades' is to be understand as a 'brothers in arms' here.
The radiation plume is prime real estate comrades!
"...stellung sichern!"
"But Sir, what stellung?'"
*looks at the rapidly expanding mushroom cloud*
Thanks for translating the English to English youtube
"DAS WAR EIN BEFEHL!"
Jawohl, Herr Leutnant. ;)
0:57 bro legit selected a unit like in an RTS
"Yes?"
"Affirmative!"
11:15 „Das war ein voller Erfolg Kameraden, Stellung sichern“
Funny he tells his comrades to fortify their position, considering both his comrades and their position have been evaporated
German dedication
There's a massive difference between sichern and befestigen, or securing and fortifying, guy.
@@dontshanonau1335 i’m not a military expert, but how is securing a position not the same thing as fortifying it? I assumed securing a position in a military context means setting up barbed wire, digging trenches, establishing lookout posts etc.?
@@franzoloranzo7302 I think secure in that context could also mean "clear out" (of hostile elements) and not necessarily fortify it after but I guess it's somewhat contextual.
@@Unknown-ek1ox ah that makes sense
3:34 You Jinxed it, you know Gaijn will nerf 30mm APIT now 😂😂
35mm*
As a France main watching a 30mm round do more damage than 90 mm HEAT was exceedingly painful.
@@nathanielblomberg2943 france has the same thing but arguably better since it has a full belt with 1/4 apds in it
@@molstad182 didn't the gepard get full apds belt with more pen than the one on the french 30mm, but at lower br?
@@darkrevan713 yea and then it was removed shortly after, now it gets at most 40 rounds of apds which is under 1 second of fire time
Giorno 203 of asking Spookston to play Semovente 75/46 M43
I MAY NOT BE ON TIME, BUT I SHALL STILL PREVAIL!
Let the guy rest spookston
No, Semovente da 105/25 "Bassotto"
Aubl 74/90
11:24 The commander said "Das war ein voller erfolg, Kameraden! Stellung sichern!" or in English "That was a complete success, comrades! Secure your position!" Which is funny that he said that after he got nuked.
09:13 - Spending too much time with me! :)
Play the turan III or ziriny II, love those
He did
I was very Hungary reading this.
@@Lambsgoods he didnt play the zyrini II
@@Lambsgoods he played the turan II and zyrini I, turan III is like a pz iv but faster and zyrini II has a 105 mm cannon, very low profile and "low" bullet velocity, so you can sin behind a little hill and hit People without been seen
I think the reason targets above you seem harder to hit is because the shells are moving much more in line with gravity than they are when you're firing at a 25-45 degree angle. So they're going to be moving slower aren't dropping nearly as much, both of which affect where you need to aim.
the amount of times i almost cancel my 4000 or 12000lbs drop but then some spaa 5kms away gives me the perfect "drop here" tracer signal DESPITE me telling in chat "dont shoot me from 5km away" never ceases to amaze and amuse me
11:17 Means as much as "This was a complete success, comrades! Secure the position!"
2:45 OH BROTHER THIS GUYS STINKSSSS!!!!!
Thanks for playing the Gepard man!! I’m happy to hear that even when not fully focused, you still had a lot of fun. Also, I think you dropped a little something… 9:22
2:42 he actually a-leaves
Dude being in a light tank and shooting a gepard just to see it’s turret whip around and look right at you puts the fear of god in me
Spookston somehow having body language and sign language a t-55 to go somewhere else is genuinely amazing considering how deaf and unresponsive the majority of players are XD
my dad was a commander on one of these
What will it take for a naval video?
$10k
Mm bribery
A million dollars
your soul your liver your heart both your kidneys your entire bloodline 2 arms 2 legs 2 eyes 50 bones a brain 2 lungs and the entirety of the us military budget just to get 1 millionth of a way there
What will it take for a wt mobile video?
The one takeaway I learned when playing AA was to always wait until you were guaranteed to hit them. Even if non critically. Do t mindlessly shoot in the void. Not only does it never hit, but it also gives away your position making you less likely to successfully ambush the pilot in future engagements. Wirblewind went from ok to devastating real fast when I changed my strategy to this.
Dumb idea that probably wouldn't work but that I find funny:
Can you get the reverse revenge CAS, where you play an Anti Air so oppressively that one of the planes you shot down specifically comes to kill you in a ground vehicle?
Every other tank: what can you do gepard.
Gepard: yes
Play the M4A2 75, it's like a mini Jumbo.
9:22 a rare Spookston uncensored moment
Day 82 of begging for a video with every Sherman
I second this
Dollar did it first
@@honytawk5968 you're probably the 8th fuckwad to say that. I know
Better beg for him to stop using wall hacks 😂
2:42 I bee-lieve Spookston hasn’t yet played the ASU-57 and he should because it’s a silly little rat tank
I love your content spookston especially the collabs with other ccs
06:31 I haven't heard that SFX in a long time.
The firing sound of Gepard sounded even cooler...now it sounds like wet fart reverb.
"Das war ein voller Erfolg, Kameraden! Stellung sichern!"
"That was a big success, comrades! secure the perimeter!"
2:39 i just thought of that ''joke'' right before you said it lol
the stupid combo of the wide-eyed guy with "how i sleep knowing" followed by the music from apocalypse now made me laugh sm for no reason thank you spookster
At 10:07 u didn't shoot his missile down, its just that the Gepard's unparalleled armour completely absorbed it 🤷♂️
he fired 2. the first hit. the 2nd got hit
@@codered372shi mb
6:53 Spookston could have had the most hilarious collateral damage here when the P47 flew through his burst
Spookston is on his villain arch with Cas players now
11:18
**Commander yapping in Russian/German**
Spookston: "WHAT IS MY COMMANDER YAPPING ABOUT???!!"
Day 28 of asking Spookston to play Black Prince, i will do it until i die
Spookston: i dont like cas :(
Spookston when he gets an spaa: the hunt is on......
2:04 : "There's a hole in your left wing" 🔥🔥
3:20 Spookston inexplicably becomes Scottish for a single word, the mutation to full Glaswegian begins.....
Attempt 34 Challenge: For high tier support a nations MBT with its respective APC/IFV counterpart (ie Abrams/Bradley, T90/BMP2M, etc.) Challenge is keeping the other player alive and supporting it without stealing kills (breaking barrels, tracking, repairing, etc) it being a random should help make it interesting.
Spookston hearing heli noise:
Treat?
It's friendly:
No treat :(
Day 77 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.
7:27 That Ki-44 thought he was Anikin Skywalker😂
Try the swedisch itspv90 and u will get PSCSPHCPSHCSHCPHSCPSHCPCHPSCHPSCHPSCH with it, trust me. Add a 103c and u get a nuke every 2nd round...
edit: found ur itspchspchscph90 video, glad to see it didnt change in the last year :>
This!
I wish Gaijin would add the real ItPsv 90 (the same turret on a T-55AM chassis). the 90 in the name signifies 1990 as the year of adoption and Finland bought its first Leopard 2A4s in 2002. what we have in the game now is the successor from 2015 (the same turrets moved onto a Leopard 2A4 chassis after original ItPsv 90 was put into storage).
before the Leopard 2A4s Finland used T-55Ms in conjunction with T-72M1s, since the T-55Ms had better APFSDS ammunition purchased from Mecar and the Russians wouldn't sell better ammunition for the T-72M1s. some T-55s were in service even after the T-72M1s were retired, since they were used for mine clearing.
9:25 how could my favorite war thunder youtuber swear
if you like the gepard you will love the pgz09 since it is lighter, has 800bhp, gen2 thermals, laser rangefinder, irst and a better search radar and tracking radar and faster turret traverse. it has the same guns but much less gun depression
edit: they added ahead to it in the new update. it kinda works but worse than standard proxy in every way
Love your vids, spooks. Also unrelated, I just "adopted" a kitten I found on the road. She was walking on the side of the road, stopped and picked her up while riding my moped.
I ended up adopting a stray cat that just came up to me on my porch while I was reading a book one evening. He kept coming back and doesn't belong to anybody else, so he just lives inside with me now.
The cat distribution system at work 😂
@@Las3r_Cat Thats so sweet
@@gabrielmalaguti5512 Indeed
@@halooord he had a couple of nasty infected wounds from fighting other cats, but those are all healed now. He's mostly a sweet guy; he crawled under my covers and bit my knee at 3am today for no discernable reason. It startled me awake and I yelled a bit, just to hear "MYAAA" under my blankets. He regrets nothing.
11:20 he wants you to secure the position. You know, the one that just got nuked.
Pookie playing SPAA? YAYYYY! So happy for my little man :3
Don't be Anti-Air.
Be Anti-Everything!
Day 4 of asking Spookston to play the KF 41
I agree, I love the Lynx, it looks so cool
9:20 Rare uncensored Spookston swearing moment
You should play the Breda 501
seeing you play WT makes me want to play WT, so I start the game only to get a full up-tier, a map covered in lush bushes, and getting sniped by people behind said bushes while wearing a bush of their own. I cry.
fifty sixth video requesting the Cromwell V (RP-3)
Spookston suffering with the Ro-Go would be a little comical
I love how this type of SPAAs can fold it's radar like a cat folding ears when hunting. Very cute vehicles.
Thank you so much spookston!!!!! I’ve been requesting this for months!!!!❤❤❤❤
During a visiting day in a Belgian military base in Koksijde, there were multiple older tanks and military vehicles being displayed, but the one thing that instantly stood out was the Gepard. It's massive and so much cooler in real life. There was a miltary museum there aswell with a see-through acryllic mock-up of a Gepard autocannon. Absolutely insane that those autocannons can spit out such a high rate of fire. I took epic pics and had an amazing day.
Thanks for using the command and conquer generals ost haha ❤
9:20 rare spookston swear moment
This video is the first one i’ve heard Spookston swear without censoring!
11:18 That was very sucessful Comrades. Secure location
theres a tank museum in north queensland here in australia that i follow and they have a gepard and a funny fact they mentioned in one of their videos is that if you want to change belts or ammo or whatever from say anti air to anti armor someone needs to climb outside the turret and flip a little switch on the side of the tank theres apparently no way to do it from inside the vehicle itself lol
9:23 Is it just me or have I never seen Spookston swear before this?
He's sworn before in older videos, but not much (if at all) within the past couple years iirc
@@_thelegend2738 it's usually censored
I will never get over Spookston’s childlike wonder. Like how he only called enemies, opponents, etc, “bad guys”
Taking down helicopter is harder than a light vehicle, is mostly because you hit mostly empty compartments, since mostly helicopter is a flying shell that has nothing inside 40% of the whole body, so you shoot through it rather than the components or pilots, and even bouncing shrapnel inside doesn't hit anything since there's nothing to hit, but it can shred a small piece off.
At first it didn't made sense to me as well, but when you think about it, then it makes.
Watching your videos shows just how important good aim is. Because you know the weekspots so well you can make the most out of relatively week guns.
Your commander said: Das war ein voller Erfolg, Kameraden. Stellung sicher. = This was a complete success comrades. Position secured.
At 9:20 we finally get to hear Spookston curse.
2:16 "People don't usually talk that way about the Gepard."
*Type 87*
Another video of Spookston calling others creatures while driving an absolute creature
Das war ein voller Erfolg Kameraden! Stellungen sichern!
9:26 Woah Spookston saying a potty word. Thats a no no. Never hear that too often
As a French main I personally hated this thing when I was in the BR ranges it was prevalent- most of the tanks are so lightly armored that a Gepard shreds them almost anywhere, it feels like. This one SPAA became my most hated vehicle by a very, very wide margin
I love how fuck around and find out this vehicle is
9:22 spookston I’m so disappointed in you tsk tsk tsk
HEY I WAS ASKING FOR THIS SPOOKY, Btw congrats on 400k
The same thing but actually better is the Type 87 SPAAG, you get a radar that can detect planes at 40km and IRST that you can use even when the radar is inactive
It's insane how radar SPAAs can be a game changer. If one team has players with radar SPAAs and the other doesn't, you basically have one team that gets to have CAS and one team that gets to get CAS'd.
The comander said this was a great success comrades i can't translate the other sentence
Late model Gepard tanks used F-APDS belts for their primary anti-air ammo. No AHEAD or HE-VT, but you got huge 15mm hollow point APDS instead.
11:18 He said: That was a great success comrades, secure positions! ( he doesn't know Normandy got nuked)
12:10 Another quick tip when playing SPAA, is to never sit in one spot. Always shoot and move, relocating your position so it makes it harder for the enemy team to backtrack your position. "Shoot and scoot" is what we call it in the military.
Askinf Spookston again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, to play the Type 74 for the Funny Suspension
Gepard with the radar down is like a cat with its ears back. If you see it coming towards you like that, you know things are about to get real.
Gepard's default belt can pen ANY MBT from the side, and APDS can go through the front and side of even the highest MBTs
As a conscript back in the day I heard the Gepard fire IRL. Even we Leopard guys were impressed.
'people don't talk about the Gepard like they do the ItPsV90'. Spookston, bro. 8.3 is FULL of Germany mains second spawning Gepards, turning the radar off and rushing MBT's
9:24 rare spookston uncensored cussing moment
I used to be the gunner on the real machine during my time in service. Fun machine.
15:08 the turret traverse is insane man
The only downside is that the cannons are spaced like 2 meters apart, making it difficult to accurately hit close-range targets.
