The Full Auto Sherman Tank

[@rockdragon3]

2:57 fun fact i learned a while ago,gaijin has it so bombs that land on buildings (even far away ones at near ground level) seem to do top attack style damage even if it's through other buildings or the one it landed on so if you're in the He-111 or Pe-8, drop the bomb on the roof of a building and it will calculate damage through the roof armor instead of the side armor

[@8vantor8]

ah yes, because the Pe-8 needs to be able to kill things better, never mind the 5000kg bomb

Any autoloading tank that allows for quick follow up shots are amazing, especially with all the volumetric BS happening nowadays where your shell can be eaten in its entierety by a coax machine gun and dissapear. Can you do a video on the IS-4M please?

[@SAM-flitz]

Bruh you said it . Lately when i try to shoot through a damn hay or a table my shot disapears and it pisses me off . I died 10 times like this today

[@mattseller148]

T95s copula ate my APHE still no idea how seeing as shooting the copula is the most effective way to kill T95s.

[@childofslaanesh1251]

my favorite is when you play something like the Sturer Emil or IS-2 and and a coax eats the shell

[@roadhigher]

@@jessegd6306 76mm Shermans reload ranges from 7.53 seconds stock to 5.9 seconds aced and experted crew and can go down a lot if your loader is dead or wounded. FL10 gets a flat 5 second reload even if your loader is dead with a very strong AP round.

Got my 85 mm shell get eaten by the overlapping plates of a Panther. Pure pain.

I love this kind of video! Very casual, almost feels like a livestream, very authentic and genuine, with(no offense) little effort with some simple gameplay! Love to see more!

[@bluenightfury4365]

I much prefer these videos too, I can overlay my own music if I prefer to, people who play music in their videos kinda get me bleh.

A funny thing is that 50 cals can pen the turret on most points, meaning you can ammorack it with mgs even some distance away

[@harby8988]

I love how if the shell clips the smallest thing it becomes a non pen. Very realistic!

[@snaketanker]

Volumetric makes it so that bullshit happens. I’ve had panthers bounce 105s on their unangled sides because it’s hit a part of the model that has pieces that overlap, and gaijin’s half baked code calculates the armor value to an impossibly high value when irl it would go right through. It’s like with the T-34 and tiger’s driver hatch being impenetrable. Gaijin can’t code for shit.

[@dcthoma3119]

Spookston, love the videos, I noticed you have never done a video on the t20 American premium! It sits at 6.0 and in my opinion has no right being that high, but it is still one I my favorites and it’s very capable of doing well.

[@editoron]

Yes, Its very good. I was able to make more 3 000 000 SL with it. Spookston should definitely make video on T20.

[@notafrosty2351]

It used to be better with a stabilizer right? Or was that the T25

3:48 Gaijin actually DOES model dual driver controls, but as far as I can remember it's only on a single vehicle (besides the S-Tanks), which is the Pbil m/40. If you hover the cursor over the rear facing driver in the x-ray view, it will say, "Machine gunner; Can drive the vehicle." However, that text doesn't show up on other vehicles with a rear facing driver like the 234 series or the EBR series.

[@PC-coolant-pipe-sucker]

Doesn't the AB41/43 get 2 drivers too?

this is the one thing that if I see, I just focus till it dies. Everyone, and i mean everyone that uses this thing always get 6+ kills, on a good note it can easily die by anything above 12.7mm.

Seeing Mr. Spookston playing any tank with ease is jus pure orgasm. He just keeps killing things like there is no tomorrow.

[@thealpaca8hay]

Are you able to play the AMX M4. It’s another French tank with an oscillating turret and an auto loader. It has quite good gun depression for a tank with an oscillating turret and is manoeuvrable for its weight.

The worst map layout by far has to be the Battle layout of Normandy. If you're on the west side, the enemy point is so close to their spawn that you will be marked on the map no matter where you sit

godfucking damnit, the starts of Spookston's videos sometimes, as well as the noises & memes...they're some of the few things that get an audible chuckle everytime i'm watching anything military-related (game or otherwise) If I was eating any faster today, i'd be in hospital

That he-111 was a revenge killer 2:47

[@ADeliberateTypo]

I love your little sound effect additions. Only addition I'd request, is when a tree or something falls on a tank, a small bonk sound would make it better. Like at 0:55, the lamp falls on you, bonk sound. Ez claps.

YOOO Spookston, love the videos man! I definitely enjoy the longer vids. Keep it up!

[@Sturmgechu]

At 7:52 the KV-85 only has 60mm of armor on the sides that’s why it went through. On top of that there’s a section of the 60mm cut out to fit a round 40mm plate on both sides to fit the larger turret on the KV chassis. Yes, Wirbelwinds can and will kill you if they hit here.

Sup Spookston. Just want to say that the m4a1 fl10 is rather interesting and i would love to see a very similar vehicle in war thunder which is the m24 fl10, because im pretty sure they made one of those just like its reversed sibling that exists in the game, although the m24 fl10 was only a prototype unlike the amx13-m24. Also It would be awsome if you made a video on one of my personal favorites the type 60 sprg. Its quite fun on 6.7 especially because of the double tapping recoiless rifles, awsome mobility and rather goofy looks also the lineup around it being pretty usable. Anyways keep up the good work and im exited to see what we will see next.

[@boomdoomgyt]

I think a video on the Su 100y would be cool since I never see gameplay of it

Fun fact about the Sherman. Later models of the Sherman had dual driver controls suck as the A3 version along with that version also having commander controls that rotated the turret to assist the gunner with targeting. Note many late A1 and A2 Sherman’s came with the commanders control electronics due to it being a turret modification.

So, i’m using the m4a1 and i’m still learning the best spots to shoot each tank to guarantee an insta kill. So far the only tank i consistently know to kill is the arl-44, and the best spot to shoot that is the back of the turret where the ammo is kept. I’m sure there’s multiple, but that’s the only insta kill shot i know for that.
