I love how somehow you manage to make this game look like it's the most fun and the most frustrating game ever made at the same time. Hope your health situation improves soon mate, hang in there, love your videos.

[@Torben-u8u]

It don't get why people say that its frustrating I'm at 6.7 germany and have 6+ kill rounds every game

[@aiedenoldstien9751]

​@user-vu3ie1jv2l I mean of course it wouldn't be frustrating. Most of 6.7 Germany is just point and click. That's not even factoring in the fact you've got terrible Volumetric, Cas, and busted premiums.

[@tntony6886]

Shooting a plane out of the air with your main gun, snapshots, snipes, hitting fast moving vehicles are what make the game fun, being on the receiving end of those makes the game frustrating. War thunder players give and receive the frustration.

People always seem to forget that this thing has 50mm of frontal armour, which at 1.7 can be suprisingly effective.

[@Avakadoman1995]

Autocannons are basically a non-threat to this thing.

[@sporgonmcgee]

Spookston, the SPJ has 50mm of frontal armor which can bounce a lot of shells at range and closely when angled.

[@TheHammer231]

Exactly, when I heard him say that he didn't want to run in to an autocannon I immediately knew he hadn't checked protection analysis

[@giovannifoulmouth7205]

Yeah but only one third of the frontal plate is 50 mm, the other two thirds are 30 mm.

[@aiedenoldstien9751]

​@@giovannifoulmouth7205Yea but Gajin for some reason doesn't understand how armor works for this thing. So they just made it incredibly broken

[@sporgonmcgee]

@@TheHammer231 he also said it was quite bad when he played it wrong, you’re supposed to play it as a defensive vehicle on caps imo

[@hedgehog3180]

Yeah but he did also have his back exposed.

[@guv5718]

7:11 thats because the ab41 & 43 both have giant holes in the bottom of their armor model that makes them act like open tops

[@610Blackhawk]

Are you sure they actually have holes in their armor, and it's not infact that they only have 8mm of armor to begin with? Even 57mm 6pdr HE rounds will shatter the AB-41's armor on a direct hit. I wouldn't be at all surprised if an HE round with 5kg of filler could defeat that armor even on a miss.

The spj is one of the most funny vehicles in the game, especially considering it has a recoilless rifle at 1.7. Also, they should really fix that bug with the bridge.

[@Acrophobia2]

The bridge bug is sooooo stupid

[@aiedenoldstien9751]

Why fix the bug when they can shuffle out more broken premiums like the new battlepass plane that is gonna make ground even more toxic than it already was.

[@commandoepsilon4664]

@@aiedenoldstien9751 Eh? What is apparently so good about the Strikemaster? If you want and example of a broken premium that was released recently you could have went with the VIDAR.

[@aiedenoldstien9751]

@commandoepsilon4664 I was just using it as the example as it just released. Although I'm pretty sure you could probably understand the problem with a 6.7 jet that can hammer out 72 rockets towards ground targets. Kind of like th A1H plane or what not. I always forget the designation for it. (It doesn't help that the US labels everything either m1 or 1something)

[@commandoepsilon4664]

@@aiedenoldstien9751 Sure it is a jet but that doesn't automatically make it good, from the test flights I've had of it, it flys like a bus and has terrible acceleration while energy retention is only good at or below 450 Kmh, which is right where the super props it'll be fighting shine. I know the American plane you are talking about, and even with it's 200+ rockets it isn't overpowered, light rockets simply are not that good, and most of the time I see it it is carrying it's much more effective 2000 and 1000 pound bombs. I've seen a surprising number of people say the Strikemaster is going to be OP, and I cannot figure out why, at best its a British Arado 234 B-2 which is already at 6.3 and isn't OP just really annoying to fight.

[@taneli5026]

This thing is suprisingly well armored for 1.7 50mm of armor at a slight angle means that you can't be killed by .50 cals frontally and you can bounce a lot of stuff. Even the survivability isn't that bad for an open top, because if you get shot in the fighting compartment, your driver and radio operator are likely to survive. And if you get shot in the front you will most likely to only lose the driver, radio operator and transmission.

[@Ramash440]

1:27 - Brother got hit by that Poseidon's Curse.

[@rulerofdoges8397]

Hey Spookston, could you play the Swedish CV 90105? It’s a very good light tank at 10.0.

[@KorianHUN]

This is one of the most entertaining WT gameplay videos, exactly because i loved playing this thing so much. Weird little tank but the gun shield is surprisingly good for its BR and the reload is really good compared to other derpcannons.

[@Strop2198]

7:15 a rare occasion where spook is clueless of the tank behind his back because he is super focused on the l3 and gets saved by a teammate

[@haretrigger69]

I love this tank a lot, it's one of my favourite low-tier howitzer tanks. I love how it'd armour is surprisingly good, especially for 1.7 - and the recoilless rifle just disintegrates anything you come across. Plus it actually has a machine gun, which is very rare. Used it up until like 4.0 lol.

[@theroyaldrake0514]

Two non-consecutive weeks of asking for the Type 60 SPRG (C). I did a comparison with another tank of similar qualities in the same BR, the M56, or Scorpion. Strangely, the Type 60 is faster despite being heavier. Granted, both tanks are vulnerable in the same ways, even if the Scorpion lacks any sort of turret armor. And the Scorpion has quite a few advantages, like having one round shy of three times the Type 60's ammo count, overall better muzzle velocity, more types of ammo, better projectile range and a better reload (6 for it's one cannon to the Type 60's 10 per cannon), but the Type 60 has a slight edge in that it has better turret rotation range and speed, double the gun depression and a pair of co-axial ranging machine guns (which are utterly useless for damage, except against the Scorpion's 5 millimeter bullet shield, ironically) and is smaller in real world and game space. Honestly, I'd say the Scorpion is better due to having better options to kill enemy tanks and it doesn't need to be looking at an enemy's front to maximize it's damage, but you can't ignore the Type 60's own advantages. I would implore Scorpion players to have a go in the Type 60 SPRG (C), you might enjoy it... And to not run directly into combat with either tank.

[@jujuteuxOfficial]

the front plate is 50mm, no autocannon can penetrate you from the front, and if you angle it it'll only make the 35mm bits easier to penetrate that thing hard counters any 20mm SPAA, and even the 40mm bofors

I’m very happy you finally decided to play my favorite vehicle. I hope your kidney stops trying to sabotage you. I think… you may have more fun with this vehicle at 7.0. It’s counterintuitive, yes, but it is so tremendously rewarding (literally) when you manage to top attack 70’s MBTs. This thing’s quiet engine and small size make it easy to hide in a rough spot, and its decent speed allows good mobility against enemies. I also just want to see you meme an IS-6 with this.

[@besoindunpseudo4144]

The gun shield is actually very good .

[@iffracem]

Re: the not harming autocannon, and the bridge of doom. I've thought for a while that the core, underlying engine that this game runs on is under a lot of stress. Best analogy is every year a family will drag out the same christmas tree, it's near falling apart, the trunk is rotten. But they never replace it, maybe staple some cardboard to it in a futile attempt top shore it up. But every year they always load more and more tinsel and baubles onto the frail and weak tree. One day it'll break. That's this game. Every patch, more tinsel, more baubles, more flashy effects that don't actually help the game at all, but boy is that core engine suffering. Meanwhile, hit boxes are still broken, penetration, post pen, armour physics are all no better than RNG. But heh, the tinsel looks cool. Kudos to you for still playing, I've finally given up. My regular sanity breaks turned continuous, I just have no want to ever start the client again.
