You’ve shown how much you like playing heavy tanks, so that means that the conqueror is exactly what you’re looking for in play style……

It also has a very good gun that is very extremely 100% amazingly good at one shotting enemy tanks and not killing 2 crew members on a direct hit

Yeah the mantlet on the both the h and p are very easy to pen . Especially the p it's turret might as well be paper , if anyone shoots it you're either disabled or dead.

[@snaketanker]

I’ve had their flat armor eat 105mm APHE because volumetric basically told me to go fuck myself

[@SeasonsMad042]

As someone who recently started working in a mine, it’s not that people in construction and mining are dense its more for simple communication. So excavators are shovels, regardless of size. Dump trucks are trucks or haul trucks, bulldozers are dozers, anything smaller than a dozer that has wheels is light vehicle, ect. “Shovel 5 entering site 1.” Is easier to understand than “Heavy/Light excavator blah blah blah”

Be honest, how many people noticed that the nuke wasn't available in the final game and got really excited to see if Spookston would notice before j-ing out and getting his hopes crushed?

[@UnPokemon]

Guilty as charged 😅

[@Draga01]

I was like that "HUH" meme when he kept looking at his points. Like, dog, you could see the nuke plane if it were available there 🤣!

[@ethancollins3789]

I love the secret footage of the "6.3 Nuke Incident" that Spookston has so graciously leaked to the public like a true "War Thunder savant"

[@Pixelrone]

The Amx Auf1 seems like a very fun and unique vehicle to play, launching 155 mm overpressure baguettes over the battlefield (Day 6)

[@Darkwings01]

As someone who has overpressured an IS3, this thing is a ton of fun.

Spookston you should play the russian traktor tank destroyer, the Zis-30, its so hilarious to play with its wacky suspension and to use in an uptier day 20

[@BeamGodGamer]

15:21, now that is a spookston moment

[@cfranko1860]

This is a cool American heavy tank, you know what else is a cool American heavy tank? The M103. I think spookston should play it

Man the pain of that no nuke realization. Also I dig this amount of edits. You might be treading the line of hitting too many, but they all add the correct amount of goof I believe and don't cross the too many line.

[@QuintonMurdock]

The greatest invention of the Wehrmacht. The cupola that kills your turret instantly. Really helped win the war

[@Epsilon-18]

How would the commanders see while remaining concealed if there wasn't a cupola?

[@ridleymain9234]

Day 2: you should play the M42 from the Italian tech tree. It has quad 20 millimeter canons with 48 millimeters of pen. You can kill Shermans from the side and some t-34 right in the turret. You can even kill m6a1 from the side. It’s also just a monster anti air. It shreds through anything. The preforante mod.35 belt is the best.

[@AHappyCub]

Ahh, the Contraero or something

[@booran_5534]

Any of the Italian wheeled tank destroyers are also absolutely nightmarish to deal with like the 106mm R3 and the double barreled variant

[@icapapapapap]

This is so random, but I really like the present videos you do with expressions and reactions that just makes my day. A much better change of pace than the monotone videos you did years back. Always have been a big fan ❤❤❤

[@redbasher636]

I actually enjoyed the monotone information videos BUT I also enjoy these videos too.

7:38 The 76 Sherman that shot you with 50., his name is "看不見", literally means "Can't see" in chinese......

[@bubby9175]

You should try the 2s3m only using AP because it is better than the HE. You melt jumbo and panthers UFP and tiger 2H just shoot the turret roof. Also max crew has 13.3 second reload.

[@bloodwyn4184]

The 76mm Jumbo never had a problem with Leopards in my experience, the biggest problems were IS-6s Tiger II Hs and Jagdtigers

[@lector-dogmatixsicarii1537]

>APCR actually being able to penetrate something Gaijin: "Oh shit fuck, get on nerfing it before we go to gulag." Also Gaijin: **inserting more enemy dogshit** "think of the poor wallets that would have to aim at you"

[@Rainbown1037]

Dear Spookston, I love your Videos and I really appreciate them. You really inspired me to get better at War Thunder,so I once again request you to Play the M18 GMC. It has pretty decent reverse speed and general speed and you can pretty much pen anything. Thank you for uploading and making our day :D

[@Kingcrazywitit]

i learned so many tank weaknesses in this video that would take me a month to learn it

[@jakebarksdale6580]

I had my own 15:00 moment before the br changes. Got a full downtier and 19 german mains walked in front of me. I had 3600 spawn points and we lost. angaery >:(

[@kevintan3705]

I remember I got the 76 jumbo some time before the IS6 was added. Thankfully, I had also just gotten the M56 in my lineup as well. I can’t even begin to count how many IS6’s I killed in the scorpion, all the way from stock to spade. I also can’t begin to count how many times I got mg’d by teammates in spawn because teamkilling was also still a thing back then.

[@cerealru1069]

The edits were very nice Spook! As always a good video. Speaking of.. Please revisit the Type 87 RCV (and maybe the Prototype in the same video?) I know you made a video about it a while ago but the game has changed a bit since then and I would love to see how you perform in it! PS: If you're going to try it out it works really well as an SPAA since darts have higher velocity thus less lead. Really good against strafing jets at 8.7.

[@justme7644]

“Where is bro at, oh there bro is” best sentence I’ve ever heard

Spookston u should make a video on Jagdtiger. Has an incredible gun with amazing armour yet it still suffers. You should definitely try that.

[@HiboGentoo]

The jagdpanther now plays on 5.3-5.7 being 6.0, it's a KWK43 from the konigstiger so it can pen up to 230mm with the PZGR, gotta say that the jumbo cant really be a thread having the jagdpanther

[@sumit.24]

Day 32 of asking Spookston to play the concept 3, it is a very fast and fun light tank that is pretty good even though it only gets solid shot

[@FabianDialer-vw1zk]

We can't make it too obvious, literal siren starts to scream at the top of its lungs.

[@SemoventeDa]

Hey Spook, you should play the Semovente 75/46 M43. It's a deeply overshadowed italian tank destroyer which can deliver an heavy punch but it's deeply ignored the potential it has. I am not gonna surrender in proposing this. (Day 74)

A video on the AMX-30 1972 would be cool. Recently got changed to 8.0 from 7.7, but it's armed with a coax 20mm autocannon which is great against those light USSR vehicles.
