Guys, is the old one better than the Bomb Magnet one (new one)?

[@custard228]

Hey spookston! Recently your videos have helped me get through a bit of a rough time in my life, so thank you for doing what you do! I'm so sad to hear that you are having more health complications, get well soon and I wish you all the best :)

[@lukas_417]

yo hello spookston could you please play the american AA Skink? its so dump no planes can penatrate it it has like 100mm effective everywhere and the four 20mm guns are shredding everything

[@TheBananaLegend-7734]

Went good in the hospital?

[@ghostedghost29]

Yippie he's back ^w^

[@failosaurus6764]

"sometimes I wish this game were single player" is the truest statement I've ever heard in a warthunder video

[@greypatch8855]

For real!

[@josedanielaban655]

You have the single player missions but are just air

[@gnaruto7769]

[@aiedenoldstien9751]

​@gnaruto7769 good luck convincing the Cas Spammers to go there. Be nice if we had a tank game like War Thunder that did ww2. Gunner Heat pc is cool but lacks older vehicles.

[@Squeaky_Ben]

Take good care of yourself, Spookston.

Asking spookston ( idk how to write it sorry ) to play tunnel vision gameplay only sniper scope

[@sleepy1066]

5:55 is probably the most devestated ive heard Spookston be

[@konet-_-419]

His faith in the game has been broken 😂😂

[@schnitzel_enjoyer]

I mean if you can't pen a xm800t from the side with a rocket, i would also be devastated

[@MemerDM]

Forget about vehicle requests. I hope for the best for your health Spookton, rest well, take care my guy. We're here to support you... Emotionally at least

[@m-zn2io]

Vehicle requests are starting to annoy me, the mans going througn a rough time and all the comments are day 57473839 of asking this and that. Ffs leave some kind words, theres a human behind these videos, not an entertainement machine.

[@sathaxxip]

I can't read the comments on the spookston's videos without spookston's voice, spookston just corrupted my head from watching him so much

[@BearThunderWT]

Most wholesome thing i have ever read

[@darthkarl99]

This i was in for surgery at the end of last year and i did not feel upto doing anything for days after coming home. The fact Spookston is home and making videos the same day is kind of freaky to me.

[@am3lia420]

The "I'm toppa tha teeam 😭😭.... and I'm not proud of it" had me rolling lol

[@noahsawesomevids422]

Definitely 😂

[@KoolKyurem25]

Honestly a mood. I usually can tell in any mp game that we're doing poorly if I'm top 3. Though half the time I pop off, we win. But to me, its usually a sign most of my team is struggling

[@hawkeye7527]

​@@KoolKyurem25 I've been in first place many times, but never have I won and been in first place. Lol

[@ThommyofThenn]

Yea if I'm far and away in the lead with three victories or still in the lead from a *bombing run* in a strike aircraft I did five minutes ago, I am very very sad to be in 1st

[@shaylinappanna6821]

Hope u get well soon spookie

[@06MoeJoe]

I love that in one video that name made him so uncomfortable hahaha

[@ReySchultz121]

I see 2 things in that name: 1. Him as some top tier bf. 2. Him as the AC-47 gunship.

[@toxicbavariankitten]

​@@ReySchultz121 I think it is definitely the latter, just a little spookie to absolutely shred enemies :3

Day 39 of asking spookston to play jpz 4-5, fast, good cannon with insane penetration and scope so good you can stare into your enemy’s soul

[@Thatmummyonatank]

Dedication here is crazy

[@Probablyoptimistic]

Didn't he play it before? Or am I just tweaking and it was odd who made a video on it?

[@Bean_Amazing]

And its also funny, german tier 4 teammates, the miserable diceroll that is 90mm heat damage, and casemate + no armor. Recipe for good video

[@TLR_]

@@ProbablyoptimisticI know odd did but I’m not sure if spooksman did

[@Spido68_the_spectator]

Insane pen ? Had an awful time with it

[@Tankerbob]

That laugh when Spookston was looking at the XM800T armor analysis with the USH HE rockets is to show how much the game has affected his mental stability

[@SemoventeDa]

Giorno 61 of asking Spookston to play Lancia R3o (100/17), the least painful trucc.

[@thesinistersiblings705]

14:00. Spookston: we're actually doing pretty well this match. Maus: allow me to introduce myself.

[@JustLeviathan_0]

not going to make any request today, get well soon spook❤️

[@jesperbrage5882]

Some of you might know about the "Superman" title you can acquire in War Thunder. To unlock it you have to complete a handful of awards a couple hundred times each. One of the awards is the “Punisher” award, requiring the player to kill the most enemy vehicles that are 1.0 br or higher than the used vehicle in a match, can’t be less than five. I for some reason decided to try and complete it since I already had half the requirements done and was well on the way with the others. I quickly came to the conclusion that HE is the way to go, since overpressure is a very balanced mechanic. I present to you the M44… I have only played it while uptiering it to 6.3 or 7.0 lineups (US) and have had a blast of a time. It’s goofy, works well and is fairly consistent. You are the connoisseur of goofy Mr. Spookston, so I present to you the challenge of getting as many “Punisher” awards as possible in a video using the M44. Good luck and try to have fun :)

[@VautorTheAmerican]

16:00 it just gets more depressing everytime i see this

[@MajorGeneralWoff]

Hell, I sometimes feel bad being on top

[@redbarrelentertainment]

I have to picture an alternate reality where Spookston never picked up War Thunder and only had a few major, life-altering health problems instead of almost dying every 3 weeks

[@eugenioberti7336]

Giorno 55 of asking spookston to play the magnificent ikv 91-105 🇸🇪. VEEEERY good tank, it just melts whatever you shoot at. Cheers from Italy

[@DustyGamma]

1:28 Some nostalgic sounds right there.

[@10arron]

Wasn't expecting a video, nice surprise! Hope everything turns around for you.

[@foxfern9036]

"Im top of the team! and im not happy about it!" Has got to be the most war thunder statement of all time

[@Radzaification]

Spookston "I just got home from hospital, here let me immediately raise my blood pressure 150%"

[@Jamysa2705]

The most painful challenge would be playing an entire game with night vision on even during the day

[@Progress_or_Barbarism]

The man is hanging out with death on a daily basis and someone is throwing these challenges to him. WT is already a game for masochists and now causing the man sever stress.

[@blacksky121_]

3:10 "Even in death, I still serve"

[@aaeve5676]

This is probably the most reasonable crash out we've ever seen from spooks

[@demonkiller479]

If you want a low tier "challenge" you should play one of the Russian T-28s but only use the shrapnel shells.

[@therealspeedwagon1451]

Shrapnel shells at top tier would be utter pain

[@mikewazowski9941]

oh hell naw thats not even a challenge. thats just suffering

[@miss_bec]

I think this was the absolute most in-pain you've ever sounded for a video, and I can't tell much of that is because of the challenge or because you're just out of the hospital. Its like if every single clip had the same energy as the last clip of the ZLT11 video.

[@cripplingdepressiongaming]

With each video, I can hear your sanity leaving you when trying to understand the game 6:00 😂😂😂

[@jujuteuxOfficial]

this video can be summarized as: *[fails to destroy a light tank with a full salvo]* oh my god why can it just shrug my rockets *[sees heavy tank with 500mm of RHA at the front about to see him]* "oh my god, i'm done" *[overpressures it in a single rocket]*

[@thomaswilm7576]

Thanks for vid spooky man and get better soon ❤

[@michaelhealy7151]

Hey spookston I exclusively play an spaa roll to shoot down CAS for the team. As well as capping and taking out tanks where I can.

[@kaiocp26]

I wish you all the best spooks, get well soon!

[@lamachina64]

14:07 “Yeah, we know you’re suffering with over pressure and whatnot, but have a MAUS!” Love your content Spook, take it easy man

[@buddini2648]

Good to have you back! I was worried if you were okay

[@Thegamingtedbear]

2C bis pls

[@caiobacelarsoares3663]

you can tell during the video that spookston is slowly losing his sanity and mental health from the start

[@user-dp1bf3eg8j]

Nice to hear, that the youtube channel is successful enough to be considered work. Congrats man you deserve it! I also wish you all the best with your health issues

[@hypethekomodo6495]

"Just got out of the ER, time for War Thunder!" Hospitals will have a wing just for long time players soon enough. I love HE slingers. I love loud, obnoxious rocket barrages but this? I wouldn't touch it, ever.

[@Theyosh-rg6oo]

Glad you’re able to record, hope you feel better soon!!!

[@urip_zukoharjo]

3:49 not just the XM but all vehicles with that engine I noticed have their sound be really quiet after the update, how many times flippin T92 or M41 or alike have jumped on me for it

[@RealStitchie]

Chinese tanks have really been quiet in top tier as well. It's so annoying because I think I'm safe

[@reidewilson7253]

Good to see you back!

[@MorningGI0ry]

Let’s break spookston. Only use 90mm HESH

[@ssgllc7007]

After your most recent extracurricular medical activities, i’m glad to see a video from you so soon. You truly are a man dedicated to not starving your viewers of that sweet juicy content of yours. It means so much to me, and many others, that even on the brink of one of the most tumultuous times one can have in their life (an organ transplant), you created a cache of videos to keep us entertained during your time in the hospital and recovery. I’m sure a big part of your decision was motivated by the algorithm… But regardless, as long as you are making videos, I will be here to watch them. I hope you find that you have created a fan base as dedicated to you as you are dedicated to them. Thank you, spookston. You truly are a gem in both the war thunder community and on KZbin. I hope you and your father both recover soon. And again I will remind you… don’t die.

[@red_bootz2994]

Day 175 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.

[@Gungusgaming]

I hope you feel better soon spookston, if you intend to make warthunder videos on schedule despite how you feel, you should play whatever thing you feel will be the most chill for you, maybe your favorite SPAA? I love your content, and sincerely hope that you feel better :)

[@Awesomebro606]

You should do another hot ones challenge except not trying to get bombed in super heavies day1

[@Funnyfella1775]

When they say "Misery loves company" I don't think they mean you should give your misery the company of more misery.

[@Talendale]

That last bit basically gave you the lesson for the HE rockets. Shoot the hatch. Aim for the hatch. Alternatively, aim under the target and overpressure them with a belly-ripper.

[@Kleon6276]

Every time I feel like I'm done with War Thunder for the nonsense, I get recommended a Spookston video and it makes me want to get back into the shenanigans 😂

[@Biggestbingu]

5:50 I was expecting some sort of mental breakdown judging by the title, but this was more than I expected. Much like a train wreck, I just couldn’t look away
