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?

Guilty as charged 😅

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 🤣!

Attempt 9 of requesting the British Conqueror, at this point I just want to see how well you can manage having ONLY APDS (who uses HESH for AT?) , being a heavy tank, and being British, basically everything you despise in this game. added note: the Jumbo camouflage you have on in the video is really dope

Hesh is a god-send for dealing with BMPs and other thin-skinned vehicles.

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.

[@LimeInDisguise]

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

[@CassediaChems]

If I had a nickle for every time Spookston thought he had a nuke when he was in the wrong BR, I'd have 2 nickles. Which isn't a lot but it's funny that it happened twice

[@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

[@sodiamine]

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

[@Lo-tf6qt]

12:31 reminded me of a time back in 2015 or 2016 when I was in a T-34 1942 (back then it was 3.7) and got into a really rare super up tier match up to 4.7 but there was a Tiger H1 on the other team that got down tiered to 4.7. Long story short we eventually took out the Tiger after rushing it with 3 or 4 guys but I've never seen this type of match up ever again in my 8 years of war thunder

[@Better_Bread]

That’s impossible you can only face vehicles 1 br higher. You getting a full uptiers when ur using a 5.7 does not mean you can face a 7.7.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@lexmen1089]

Just to remind yall the reason why gaijbles went ahead with the br chsnged was because of thr entire playerbase using this thing at 6.0, bringing everyone from 5.7 into it, and bringing them into as low as 5.3, further proving thr reason to the BR changr. And before you start, I felt bad for this thing entire existence before the BR change were even announced cuz its lineup didnt favor it aloy, but when it was, I feel like I was back in KV-IC and T14 hell all over again.

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

[@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)

[@yichythegoat]

Funny how at 7:34 the Sherman who started machine gunning Spookston named himself "blind"

[@lordhickory3322]

You should play the Strv 82 RB 52 (the swedish premium cent mk. 3 with ATGMs). It did get moved up in BR to 7.7 (from 7.3), but it still is a helluva lot of fun!
