The Rare Soviet Sturmtiger

You got me into this game, and after a month of non-stop gameplay I burned myself out. But watching you play is always a treat. Thank you

I don't blame you

[@MPdude237]

Fun fact, when first introduced the rockets could depress to shoot at targets up close however people complained it was OP (understandable when you are shooting SturmTiger equivalent rockets at tanks with tinfoil armor played by Newbies), so they nerfed it to have +9 degrees of gun depression.

This thing isn't anything like the Sturmtiger, it's actually fun and useful. I didn't see you get shot in the rocket and blown up, and when you lob them randomly across the map, things actually have exposed crew to die to the explosion.

[@Pumciusz]

I earned 1 mil recently by playing german 6.0 always opening with the Sturmtiger getting like 3 kills.

Sturm is super good and a lot of fun it’s just not something you can play quickly or recklessly you need to be more methodical

[@Mr_Wolfkin]

Wasn't the first death from the rockets? Or just normal ammo rack?

[@peep3298]

The sturmtiger is fun. You can catch people off guard by ambushing them and just blasting them in the face and being frontally impenetrable at an angle or sniping with the range finder

[@ghilliemcwilly2162]

Sturmtigers also can just stay behind a treeline covered in 300 layers of bushes and get kills since they're basically *the* German artillery tank

Is6 at the current state of the game is not that good, I mean, in a downtier or in it's br is pretty good, but even at 7.7 there's too many tanks with heat and better reload than you, and at 8.0 and 8.3 tanks start to have apfsds and missiles, and it costs a lot of ge

[@viktoriyaserebryakov2755]

@@heliogonzalezsanchez8227 I'd say the IS-6 is the one heavy tank that is the exception to your concern. Pay attention and you can just get out of the way of a problematic target. Your heavy tank turns into a medium tank. Workable situation.

[@KV-1_Enjoyer]

I love the memes you put in the intro of your videos, keep up the great work mate! Also, can you play the Soviet T-35? :)

[@IronCrown]

The T-35 is my low tier tank of choice. Just a copious amounts of dakka and the guns punch very hard for 1.3.

[@NaturalGarethFan]

I personally love the T-35 as much as I have love for the Porsche Tiger, the survivability in 1.3 is crazy (even if you’re a sandbag for half that time) and when you have all cannons facing the same way you feel like a landship

[@IronCrown]

@@NaturalGarethFan unfortunately you can no longer fire both secondary cannons on the same target. Used to be my favorite thing to line up all 3 cannons and just let loose.

This might be my new favorite video of yours. So funny lolol. Please for the love of whatever there is out there, do the Super Pershing :_(

[@mattb.2359]

I have this tank, but rarely use it, but its stupid fun. On Cargo Port, i had capped the A point, and had eyes on a M8 that was across the road near B. So figured i would try and use the rockets. Launched one, hit the building three stories above him, and the splash damage alone killed him. And that was not adjusting the range.

[@Stealth86651]

I used to have the respawning vehicles/trees/debris quite often. Many games where I was using HE it'd even respawn before I reloaded, making certain shots completely impossible unless I could take it down with my MG (if I had one). That's one of many bugs Gaijin refuses to address and one of the reasons I don't play anymore.

[@VoidExileYT]

Must be so strange to sit there chilling and than you hear the tink of being hint. You look around and find nothing. Then you get hit again wonder where the fk it came from. Then suddenly you your tank explodes. Now I don't know what the killcam would look like but that would certainly be interesting

[@noidea2568]

Ok I have to ask, does ANYBODY know where spookston gets those dog/cat imaged he uses in the videos as reactions? I cannot explain how much I love them, I adore them so much to the point it's irrational. I make sure to screenshot pretty much every single one, they're hillarious.

[@innacrisis6991]

Most of them are from animal memes scattered throughout internet. I doubt all of them are coming from same place. They most certainly come from different years like 2013-14-15 etc. Watch animal meme videos on youtube and you probably can find some of them though

[@Snack-Sized-Femboy]

This is my favorite tank in the whole game. I have the most matches and kills with it. (Edit): 2:30 The minimum range on level ground is exactly 252 meters. If you fire the rockets forward without adjusting the rangefinder, they will land 250m ahead.

[@Cosmo_noBones]

wow, how many rocket kills do you think you have?

[@Snack-Sized-Femboy]

@@Cosmo_noBones Probably around 2000. And I'd say probably 65% of those kills are from the start of the match when people are sitting on the flag capping. The most kills I've gotten with one rocket is 4 on European Village.

[@spicy701]

spookston definitely has a killer gaming char

[@Sky_EggYT]

You should play the British tier 2 Sarc MKVI 6Pdr. It is very fast ( I call it the Super Awesome Race Car ). It has the British 6 pounder and is very good for 3.3. It goes by no armor best armor and if you get shot in the turret you die no matter what ( 3 crew, 2 in turret). It’s got a .50 cal on top for AA and shredding milk trucks. It’s funny because it recoils a ton, and no matter what will land on its wheels probably to counter the recoil. I also think that the crusader II is fun. It’s I think 2.0ish and is super fast, good fun and I believe ( in a British tank) APHE. it is great for capping points, running along the sides and flanking the enemy.

Yo Spookston. First I really love your videos whether they are about the history of tanks or gameplay. Second now that you played the BT with Rockets you should play the latest event vehicle. The Andryusha. It's really bad but extremely fun at the same time.

[@DullestTitan]

Spookston, i would love to see you play the SU-100Y its one of my favorite premium tank, if you love a huge naval gun strapped on a tank and being able to 1 shot a panther from the upper plate, its great, if you counter the reload.

[@Vabeng64]

I suggest to play the EBR(1951). Yesterday I had a match with 16 kills, I believe that you would enjoy it.

[@natali_wolffe9012]

Credit where Credit's due, that Stuart at 8:15 knew how to be slippery. You can pen it's front with a pop tart, so it has to move in a way to minimize damage, and it did so. Your aim wasn't bad, he just swung around in directions to have you only kill one of his crew, not all of it. That's actually a pretty good play honestly.

[@Juliansnake1000]

Nothing like a smöl tank with two huge fuck-off rockets. Great vid as usual! I also would like to see your take on certain low-tier tanks of each nation (M2A2, Pz. III B or Sd.

Also, thanks for showcasing the anti-Japan bias in new and unexpected ways lol. I don't know the physics of concussive forces, but I feel like that tank crew should've been damaged at most, maybe the crewman closest to that side of the tank gets knocked out because the forces hit him the hardest or something. But it's like the Ka-Mi you shot was treated like an open-topped vehicle, which is incorrect, even if the poor thing has thin armor.
