Pro tip: you can use the PF round as an air burst round, and it’s so strong that if it flies 3 meters above the roof of a panther the crew is over pressured

[@maxineitoor]

THIS. I got destroyed by this tank so many times i couldnt understand why... until i unlocked it and got to use the PF shells and its just dumb. Sometimes i do the good ol Sturmtiger shot over a distance and it just kills something by passing "close" to it

[@commisaryarreck3974]

It's a "fuck your cover" shell Just shoot over the heaviest tanks at range and you will just pen it

[@cardiv5zuikaku944]

[@Jebotito]

​@@maxineitoor i do this on Ardennes always haha of 10 games there is only one or two maybe where i DONT kill somebody passing over to the hill lol mostly hellcats but shot from my type75sph

[@maxineitoor]

@@Jebotito lol yes, totally. What i do is to look at spotted targets on wood areas and shoo a little up to get them most times

[@Bornaclorks]

How about playing the Type 75 SPH? It's like the other Derp Cannons but with the bonus of having a 10 sec reload

[@martinzimn9213]

My favorite vehicle but iam using 90% fuse HE 😅

[@aleksi4316]

also its pretty quick.. and reverses quick too..

[@martinzimn9213]

And it's also my favourite SPAA :D I love baiting planes with 50cal and then smacking them with HE.

[@25xxfrostxx]

Type 75 is so much better than the 2S3M. Browning .50 cal, 10 second reload (almost twice as fast as the Russian one) and once it's upgraded it has a 10degree/sec turret rotation. Plus it has a smoke shell that is a comically fat cloud.

[@youngchaosfernandes]

Type 75 SPH is like a faster firing, slightly more resistant to CAS 2S3M.

[@davidcook1394]

I’m 60 years old and haven’t played a video game since CoD originally came out. I watch channels like your because I’m an AFV enthusiast but I must say your channel is very entertaining. It makes me want to play just to be fodder in one of your videos.

[@cheeselemon8712]

Spookston I think you should do a gameplay video on the cm11, it’s truly a hidden gem, it has the m1 abrams firing system, and an m48 turret mounted on a m60 body. This gives it a faster reload than the m60, it also makes up for most of the armor loss on the m48 turret by suiting it up in ERA. It’s also my favorite tank

I love my 2s3m along side the t34-100. Also the proxy round shooting down planes is a feeling all its own. I love that line up

[@tristandaries1129]

The 2s3m is also my favourite vehicle, one tip I picked up is to use the proxy round on heavier targets, if you can get a good enough shot, the fuse will activate on the roof and you basically get a 10 kilo tnt equivalent top attack round

[@thatcarguydom266]

Ah ye, Using Akatsiya as modern tank destroyer. Now that I think it, WT players love to use artillery as modern tank destroyers. Ironic since ATGM carriers were supposed to be that.

[@tristandaries1129]

@@aegeanharrier6648 what, you want me to do the hour long calculations for Cold War era computers to use the artillery at 3km? I’d have to point straight up, and that’s assuming that the game actually can actually load the arc of the rounds

[@MrGenoHydra]

This is pretty much why i enjoy the G6 Rhino. Usually just run the PF rounds and use them like makeshift top attack munitions against the endless Marder & BMP-1 spam.

[@davidbonds3202]

I love the Rhino. In service it had a laser rangefinder, wish that was added in game.

[@Corelich]

Still Wanderung how the g6 is higher br than this. Its better armored, more mobile, about the same ammo, smaller and 0.7 lower br? Why

[@davidbonds3202]

@@Corelich Because it's not Russian

[@robi__0768]

0:12 actually the G6 has 11 kg of tnt equivalent, so its only the second most powerful HE round(aside from the sturmtiger)🤓

[@SemoventeDa]

Spookston , you should play the 75/46 M43, it's an Italian heavily overshadowed tank destroyer but it's capable of being a very hard hitter if used correctly as it has a playstile similar to other turretless tank destroyers but with spaced frontal armor. (Day 18)

[@kxlxsh]

I salute you soldier 🫡

[@r.ndomperson]

of course the M43 75/46 would recommend itself

Spawn camping has become so common in war thunder now. It's like every game there's a dude farming kills. If Gaijan made the reward for capping objectives more, people might go for that instead of just kills.

[@falin9557]

I tip for that tank: Use proxi fuse as main and take like 10 regular ones just in case and when using proxi, if it is further than 350m, aim a bit higher, it'll explode above the tank and almost always ensure the kill

If you like the 2S3M, i think you'll like the SU-100P it's one of my personal favorite russian vehicles, the chassis they share is really nice to drive

[@Videos553]

7:41 Yep that summarizes separate balancing for planes and tanks. Shoot a 50mm HE onto an M36 and you can overpressure some or all of the crew practically anywhere. But get a plane a 155mm VT or direct hits with HESH, HEAT, HE and their crew doesn't get overpressured the same way.

Just wanna say that you are one of if not the best War Thunder CC out there, because you always get straight to the point and even if you get one of the worst vehicles in the game you can make it somewhat fun. If a vehicle is broken you try to get the best out of it instead of dying and then whining how bad it is. You always give me that motivation to play vehicles in a different way than expected and have more fun in War Thunder. If it weren't for your hilarious videos I would have quit WT by now wich would have been a shame (or a good thing...) because there are many fun vehicles I haven't tried yet especially in mid to high mit tier which i mostly skipped because they seemed broken or just not fun. Keep it up!

[@iwaiah9555]

you should try the type 75 sph, comparing to the 2S3M HE its a little worse but some japanese gameplay could be interesting

[@Sergeantcommanderjanissary]

Been waiting to see if you'd play this for a long while. Seriously one of my favorite tanks in the game. Proxy shells shred open tops and tanks you can't pen frontally if you shoot over them. Once got a triple kill on three AAs by aiming between them.

Shooting aircraft with this thing's proxy is THE most entertaining thing i've ever done in this game. They never learn to not fly directly at you even though they can see you aiming for them. I love playing this thing even though the HE is highly inconsistent against heavy or weirdly shaped armor. This is one of the few vehicles that are genuinely enjoyable to play no matter what. Btw take all proxy shells as they are identical to the regular HE but they have proximity fuze. You can snipe panthers really easily by just aiming well above their turret. Also take like 3 heat/aphe rounds for those situations where you just need to load something for penning raw armor
