    The T34 heavy tank is the US tech tree's counterpart to some of the heavier German vehicles in War Thunder. Its armor isn't quite as good, but its armament packs a wallop. Sometimes.

    My friend and I were playing Germany once. I'd peeked around the corner and saw a T34 waiting for anyone trying to cross, so I told my friend over Discord: "Careful, there's a T34 around the corner."
    He said, "whatever, it's just a T-34."
    He ate a T14E3 round through the turret face of his King Tiger and detonated.
    My friend said: "That's not a T-34!"

    Spook I think you should check out the Ru-251! It might well be the SECOND best german light vehicle in the game (after the Puma of course lol), and it's my personal favourite and most played vehicle in the entire game (unlocked nearly the entire german tree with it). It would be really nice to see you feature it because I think that it's relatively "unknown" vehicle in the game despite being wery strong and unique. It's basically a better, smaller and faster mini-Leopard 1 at a lower BR that has scouting and goes 80 km/h off-road.
    I know it has been uptiered quite a lot recently, but I think it should still be great and worth trying (haven't been playing the game for a while)

    Also about the T34 American , its frontal plate can be mostly easily penned by vehicles at the similar Br and you can survive a lot more shots by being in an angle like using a Tiger 1, is a very good vehicle but is better used when you have a good position , I can tell you that even fighting Leopard 1's is a very good vehicle even with all that HEAT is coming at you

  • @rebelblade7159
    @rebelblade7159 Рік тому

    I get consistent one shots with the T34 if I aim for center mass on the enemy tank. Panthers and Tiger I's are one shot most of the time by shots on the upper front plate right on the center or slightly offset to the left or right since it also takes out the driver or radio operator. Its turrets that are inconsistent when the tank has enough crew members on the hull to survive the loss of the turret crew, like with King Tigers if the turret ammo does not detonate. Also, having 3 .50 cals is a huge benefit not just for dealing with CAS and light tanks but also to quickly disable tracks. If I don't one shot a target in close range, I immediately go for their tracks using the MG's to ensure they don't escape until I finish reloading.

    I believe a jolly time might be had by all if Spookston played the Breda 501

    “I think I can see him under the uh forklift there”
    “That’s not even a forklift that uh uh dozer”

    Spookston: Can identify dozens, if not hundreds, of various armored vehicles from numerous countries built over several decades with great accuracy.
    Also Spookston: Misidentifies a front loader as both a fork lift and a dozer. 12:14

    The M103 could be seen as the ultimate version of the T34, it boasts the most powerful APBC round and later it got access to the most powerful HEAT-FS round. It's armour was massive and bouncy to deal with kinetic energy rounds at the time but unable to stop HEAT-FS rounds adequately

    I love how the tank's cannon sound like a cartoonish version of bones cracking

    Honestly I feel like if spookston would knock on wood after saying something about CAS, he’d never get bombed

    I found when using the T-34 shooting at places like the upper point of the turret face on the King Tiger will usually miss the crew and detonate the ammo reliably

    One of the cool thing I appreciate about Spookston's videos is the little meme he throws at the start of every single one of them.

    Spook you bullied a few SU-122-54's but you should get it a shot, they are one of the most fun tank destroyers to play, get a stereoscopic rangefinder and the armor is very spicy if angled. Plus sub 15 second 122mm with heat for king tigers who think their 150mm plate still works and, your favorite, big boy autocannon on top (and pintle mounted) for CAS and light boys. Also she can boogie, and looks like a cheese wedge.
