The Pvkv IV is admittedly a box of suffering, but I'm over here still dumbfounded as to how they did the Pvkv III as dirty as they did... It's literally an open topped TD with worse gun handling AND pen than the M4A1 it now shares a br with... The Pvkv II somehow manages to be the only good tank of the series despite how clunky it and it's lineup is. Minor tech tree life.

Gajin does a weird thing with minor nations in War Thunder where they just for some reason don't think they should be good as the main three. That or on par with what Russian Propaganda says American equipment functions like. (Aka terrible.)

[@zanaduz2018]

When I ground out this vehicle, I ended up using the APHE as my primary shell; low-caliber APDS is very inconsistent with shell shatters or pathetic post-pen damage. Swedish mains should already know that by this point in the tech tree, as they have several tanks before the Pvkv IV that also have APDS with absurd penetration values for the tier (the Swedish Pz.38, for example). APDS is mostly worthless in my book at calibers under 90mm.

[@zanaduz2018]

If it was that easy to explain, then there should be a few Russian tank shells that should have horrendous post-pen damage (those that use steel APFSDS like 3BM9).

Love the content, you mentioned that the concept 3 was fast and had a good cannon. As such I would be interested in seeing you giving the vehicle its own video, considering your history with fast flanking vehicles. Thanks.

[@panther-nk2hn]

God, I hate the Concept 3. Trying to use it in the grind for the Ratel 90 has been absolute pain. The gun is the only thing that functions well. The turret traverse is garbage, the acceleration/gear shift time is bad, and the engine is so loud you can hear it in Poland from Carpathia. Sorry to vent like that, I had pretty high expectations of it going into playing it, and it absolutely did not deliver. I would rather take an Avenger if I wanted something with a 17pdr.

[@luisurdiales3091]

It's fast and has a nice gun, yes. But the handling of the vehicle feels awful. Still, it's good at rushing cap points and taking hulldown positions.

[@Sky_EggYT]

@@panther-nk2hnyou have to ambush. Use roads to get into sneaky positions before enemies, and stick there until your team pushes up or somebody presses space bar. Also for the ratel, play it like a school bus. It does NOT accelerate at all, and the 90mm HEATFS is super inconsistent, it either one shots a tiger from the side or fails to kill a driver from a direct hit. Sit in corners and common flanks, and scout. Then, once everybody has passed, pop out and kill them all from behind. (This is speaking from some experience, I played the concept very extensively, not as much the ratel 90, so just play them as you see fit with your play style.)

Hey Spookston, I thought you’d be amused to learn that there’s a new dinosaur named Gremlin. The species name is Gremlin slobodorum, and it’s from the Late Cretaceous of Alberta, about 77 million years old. The only fossil is a skull fragment, but we’re able to determine that it is a member of the family Leptoceratopsidae. Imagine a Triceratops but much smaller, with no horns, a reduced head frill, and a really deep lower jaw.

It doesn’t even make sense that the game treats it like lower caliber APDS is somehow significantly worse than anything above 90mm. There shouldn’t be some arbitrary cut off where it suddenly decides it doesn’t wanna do anything anymore, it should just do less the smaller the caliber. That’s it. That’s all they’d have to do to make this better.

But APDS was not this bad, this is both ahistorical and dumb. If you want definitive proof it's messed up, compare the APDS and APFSDS on the T-55A. Same muzzle velocity, same weight, nearly same penetration. And yet, the APFSDS shell has x10 the post pen damage??? It's clearly just bad coding on their part

[@thatchris1626]

I know. It's just that a lot of people (I have no idea if this is the case) have said that APHE does not work anywhere near as well as it does in game currently. Of course if that was the case you'd never see it changed as it would completely change the game and would nerf a lot of the low to mid tier meta. And everyone would bitch about being made to have to actually aim.

Honestly the biggest and only problem with the Pvkv IV IMO is the atrocious zoom which makes it practically unusable at ranges further than 400m since your reticle tends to obscure the target at that point, especially if the target is in any sort of cover. I'm not surprised at the other AP rounds having atrocious pen since Gaijin has just lazily copypasted them from the Pvkv III like they've done with basically all French (and probably other) 90mm HEAT shells. Also can't say I've had issues with using APDS but then again, I also main Brits and 99% of the time go for crew instead of ammo no matter the shell.

[@HANGING_SILVER]

apds performance heavily depends on if the apds is tungsten carbide or tungsten alloy, low br apds are normally carbides and tend to shatter on angled playes often but have very high flat pen, the alloy rounds found on higher br vehicles have better angled performance and dont shatter as much but lose out on flat pen, the premium strv103 gets both types so you can compare the performance on them.

[@XSpamDragonX]

Just because the barrel is longer doesn't immediately increase the muzzle velocity, you need more propellant to burn and create the necessary volume of gas to fill said longer barrel.

[@zaleost]

I definitely feel there was a sudden point where apds got much less consistent very suddenly sometime earlier this year. Where before I could easily pen and kill most enemies in 1 or 2 shots with later British tanks, then one day it just kept shattering and non-penning much more often.

I've had decent success with the M41A1's APDS but what I define as "decent success" is when I aim for specific crew and snipe them specifically it works...like pushing a pin through a dot on fabric, otherwise it's not good at post pen like all other APDS obviously

[@WynnofThule]

1:50 Bro just keep walking like a damn minecraft zombie

[@GewelReal]

"APHE round it gets is not really good" Literally almost same pen as soviet 76 and yet everyone loves that one

[@DiamondBaron]

"88mm of pen out of a barrel the size of a telephone pole" was a real waffentrager and Dicker Max moment for me rofl. Having such long ass, big guns and getting unexpectedly low penetration from them when they should be punching holes in just about everything at their BR was always frustrating.

6:55 I keep getting cycled into the same map up to four times in a row, I swear they broke the map rotations or something

[@emilbt7588]

i really wanted to to like this thing. Like, It's an L-60 chassi with a bigger gun, and more pen, i thought it'd be more capable than the standard L-60's but what we get is an even heavier vehicle, on a chassi that is known to lack a bit of horsepower. with a bigger and even weaker turret, no turret motor and stock round that looks semi-okay on paper but does absolute doo doo since it's a 57mm. Due to it's very sluggish performance stock, it does not even realistically offer the player the ability to respond if someone is already aiming at you and if you by the grace of god manages to get a round off at whatever, you'll just be let down as it either veers off to buggery or pings off without doing absolutely anything. This tank is acceptable when spaded but god forbid you actually wanna try and even get to that point because it actively punishes you for playing it and trying to get closer to your enemies so that you can actually do something to anyone. The only saving grace of this thing is the sabot but even then i've had better performance playing the standard L-60 lines at even higher Br's

[@heliotarrara]

the thing has like no armor too. It can get penned by a .50 cal. I was so sad after grinding to unlock this.

[@fireninja8250]

Me who used this tank unironically and didn't think it was that bad:

[@aiedenoldstien9751]

The tank itself isn't entirely bad, it's just the ammunition. Especially if you use APHE you have better luck.

[@valaran3968]

I remember playing the original French reserve tanks. The ones that were so terrible that Gayjin actually removed them from the game. Slower than a heavy tank, with terrible turret traverse, paper for armor, a gun with literally less pen AND damage than a 0.50 cal, and less than half the rate of fire of anything else at the tier. Not to mention only 2 crew members, so getting shot was instant death. This thing cannot possibly be worse than those were.

[@mexicobasado8177]

How were those tanks called?

[@mr_resource5099]

Spookston I beg, I played this thing recently with the APHE and it's an absolute monster

[@doubledouble4g379]

Love how I got an ad for WoT whilst watching ur vid XD

[@0Bubble_Nuggets0]

I am tempted to print some bingo cards with custom Spookston events and use them every time Spookston uploads.

[@lucythevelociraptor]

Try playing all CV90s in one lineup, would be fun to see how you pull things off the list includes the CV9030FIN, Strf 9040B, Strf 9040C, Lvkv 9040C, Strf 9056 BILL II, CV90105 XC-8 and CV90120.

[@imnomoremaverick]

Yesterday i discovered that at 8.3 the British have a Tandem warhead ATGM capable of penning 1000mm of armor at 0°,oh and apparently it has so explosive mass to overpressure even a T-80BVM Isn't that lovely,that shell inconsistency is widely reported all across the game?

[@lennyfieldy]

"Please tell me I get gun depression" nope, you get regular depression :(

[@gammafox5431]

APDS still seems to suffer from having to go through multiple layers of armour like on that STuG, because yes of course the round despawns upon hitting armour, leaving only the (limited) spall

[@randomperson-sc6ui]

that plane at 9:28 really hated you for killing him in a Pvkv lV

[@davidecarucci1073]

1:52 you should have put the "i drive" meme there

[@guyreurtt3860]

your pvkv IV gameplay is a perfect representation of the swedish low tier 3 expierience

[@Boomuseedat]

Hey Spookston, just a quick question, what editing software do you use?

[@bryanguinn1157]

You should try the Strv 74 again at 5.7, only uptiers and I couldn’t pen the side of a t34 57 with sabot point blank so it should be fun

[@bagelmaster2498]

I saw it in the video but could you play the sturer Emil?

[@sheikhfarhanrahaman6703]

Hello there Spookston hope you are doing well. Since in this video you mentioned about the inconsistency of APDS shells, I would like to see you play the Centurion Mk 10.
