The concept 3 is an integral part of my 4.7 line-up. Having mobility at that br range is such a breath of fresh air for britain

[@Hootis]

I bring it in my 6.0 lineup to help my black prince and centurion mk1, it's amazing how well it does there since you can still easily pen tiger 1's and Panthers.

[@bassbusterx]

What? The avenger hauls ass and it also has a 17pdr while having a smaller profile and it can't be MGd to death

[@echoergecko]

@@bassbusterx Oh I do have the avenger in the line-up too. Any vehicle with a cromwell chasis is an insta-lock on my book. But unlike the concept 3, the avenger does not have a coaxical mg, scout, good reverse gear or thin enough for large APHE shells to fuze. Concept is also empty enough for poor shots to not do anything. While any SPAA will shred it and americans with their .50 bunkers do strike fear at close quarters, it's thick enough for 7.62 to not pierce even at the sides and the angling on the front let's you survive those fifty caliber guns for long enough to get a shot off, if they are at a range to shoot you with fifties, remember, a little worse 17 pounder is still a 17 pounder. Though both are great, a concept 3 is a lot better at being the avenger than the avenger is being a concept.

Do you remember when Gaijin removed the Concept 3's LRF? I clearly remember it had it when it was added and Gaijin also highlighted it as a low BR vehicle as a "learning" tank on how to use LRFs.

[@NATOenthusiast]

@@ADudOverTheFence1 If I’m remembering correctly it was around the dev server for the South African tree when the LRF was removed but it’s so far back now I can’t really remember it but then again it certainly doesn’t need it seeing as Spookston didn’t have any trouble with it.

[@ADudOverTheFence1]

@@NATOenthusiast well, tbf low tier doesn't have that many long distance maps for a low BR tank with LRF to make advantage of. That and 77mm HV have pretty good ballistics, and without APDS (or even with) it got nerfed to the ground and its APDS doesn't pen Panthers UFP's anymore.

Shot Mk.8 has two moods: - An absolute shopping list worth in the damage feed - Bouncing off the LFP of an IS-1 at point blank (yes this has happened several times)

[@chieftainmk_11]

For me, it really depends if it’s from the 77 or from the actual 17 pounder. The 77 only has 160mm pen or something like that from memory, but the actual 17 pounder has 190mm

[@Jump-Shack]

You correct the 77mm. Don't get the same penetration values that rhe 17pdr has going on

[@foughtwolf]

This is me with the Bulldogs ammo types. Base is just kinda lack luster for tier. M319 has a hissy fit at the mildest angle, And the big boi M331A2 likes to shatter or bounce off IS/ISU hulls at point blank even going for the weak spots. Hell I had a Stuart III in someones lineup just absorb a M331 in the turret face, not overpen and do nothing, just soaked it up like it was a ball of wet paper. Then other games, especially if my daily is critical hits or assists, it annihilates every target like theres a miniature nuke in each round.

[@Helium-147]

On the topic of British tanks, I think you should play the Valentine IX It is a really good tank that has multiple positives like: - It has a 75 mm, so superb penetration - It has resilient amour - It is only at 2.7 …and more! Though, it also comes with down sides like: - It’s a Valentine - It’s British And also, I hope for the best that even if there isn’t a cure for FSGS, you could suppress it. Keep making us laugh Spookston!!! Much love from Thailand🇹🇭 (Edit: Got the BR wrong, got confused with the Valentine I).

[@sampackman69]

Genuine question, how do you feel about the Thai air tree in Japan? I've heard a lot of different things, some people hate it due to what Japan did in WW2, some people love it just because Thailand is in the game, and some people don't care

[@temporarysam5657]

since you said the ratel 90 wasn't bad, you should play the objectively awful ratel version; the ratel 20. it has the same bad mobility as the 90, but with the same weapons as the marder IFV, which doesn't sound bad at first, until you realise you're expected to fight king tigers and jumbo pershings with 7 slow moving ATGMs and an autocannon that can't even pen a panther's side (day 33)

[@Grebogoborp]

I really like the ratel 20 though the ATGMs are the lowest BR mouse aimed ATGMs in the game and you get nearly twice as many as the marders or BMPs you need to rearm pretty often but you can put in good work with those missiles

[@TheSaintOfFrog]

The milan at 6.7 is kinda heat tho, yeah you're in a unarmored Battlebus but you can delete pretty much anything at the br range.

[@wariornt]

From My own exprience. The Rattel 20's autocannon AP shell can't even pen M50 Ontos front armor (or I was super unlucky)

[@carlitosskater89]

Go on flanks. Never try to be the assault force. Usual wt player mistake to assume they are entitled to pen everything frontally. Also, some LTs are more of a support role (ratel20mm as a prime example) and they are never good at fighting by themselves.

[@Grebogoborp]

*The Ordnance Quick-Firing 17-pounder (or just 17-pdr)[note 1] was a 76.2 mm (3 inch) gun developed by the United Kingdom during World War II. It was used as an anti-tank gun on its own carriage, as well as equipping a number of British tanks. Used with the APDS shot, it was capable of defeating all but the thickest armour on German tanks. It was used to "up-gun" some foreign-built vehicles in British service, notably to produce the Sherman Firefly variant of the US M4 Sherman tank, giving British tank units the ability to hold their own against their German counterparts. In the anti-tank role, it was replaced after the war by the 120 mm BAT recoilless rifle. As a tank gun, it was succeeded by the 84 mm 20 pounder.*

Fully bushed up Sturmtiger, please Spookston.

[@no-legjohnny3691]

Honestly, I'd like to take the opportunity to say that the performance of the QF 77mm 3-inch is absolutely atrocious. This gun was touted as being one of Britain's best AT guns, mainly because it used a smaller shell than the 17-pounder so you could actually reload it in a decent amount of time. But in game, the penetration is horrendous (the APDS can't even pen the upper front plate of a Panther beyond close range), the reload time is somehow LONGER than the 17-pounder despite the aforementioned smaller shell size, and to say the damage is abysmal would be one hell of an understatement. People debate whether "Soviet bias" is actually a thing in War Thunder, but I can say without a doubt that there's somebody on the Gaijin dev team with some kind of personal grudge against British vehicles.

[@XanderTuron]

Minor pedantic correction, the 77mm HV did not have a smaller shell than the 17pdr; it used the same projectiles as the 17pdr but with a shorter case length.

[@no-legjohnny3691]

@XanderTuron Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. Smaller shell in the sense that it takes up less internal space and is easier to handle.

[@sampackman69]

It's absolutely insane to me that the 120mm on the Conqueror, built to take out Russian heavies, can sometimes non pen Leopard 1s For some reason the APDS fired from the 17pdr can't pen the front plate of a Panther, but IRL the 17pdrs AP can go through Tigers and sometimes Tiger 2s with little to no difficulty If I shell shatter on the front plate of a T-54 again when I'm in a Centurion, which the 20pdr can and did liquify irl, I'm going to loose it

Day 61 of telling spookston to play the IT1. its a ATGM launcher on the t62 chassis, it has decent-ish mobility, the turret is squished. You can hide behind cover and shoot ATGM over the cover like a gremlin and you overpressure tanks (tho it can be rare, but it does happen without you realizing) and its MG is really werid. Also it has a cool reload animation.

[@Andrewza1]

Nah this is the M1 replacment. The bradly needs to be replaced by a M113 with card board Armour so it is light enough you can strap wings to it. Aero Gavin was the wildest fever dream ever dreamed. The Concept 3 is actually cool when you thing this leads ftom the AML90 to the rooikat.

[@shingoblin4218]

Video (15) of asking spookston to do a randomized challenge. Essentially a wheel decides almost everything. List of wheels: -A wheel that decides the nation. -a wheel that decides how many vehicles (1-3). -A wheel that decides the BR. (Maybe like a 1-2 br leniency) -A wheel that decides what vehicles (air or ground). Either reroll before every match or just do it once, your choice. (If you would like me to make the wheels to save you the suffering of making them I would gladly do that.)

God I love it every time you use the “OUR TABLE” sfx it never fails to make me laugh

[@Nalothisal]

I challenge you to team up with OddBawZ as a scout/artillery pair, where one of you plays as the sneaky scout, spotting targets for the artillery to shoot. You can use any ratty scout vehicle and any self propelled artillery. The scout is not allowed to engage targets directly, unless in self defense, (but they can immobilize their target). The artillery is to hang back from the battlefield in a concealed position, not engaging targets with a direct line of sight, unless in self defence, (binoculars are acceptable. Basically gunner's sight is not to have eyes on target) There is a ground map distance app for War Thunder that could help. ALL CAS is fair game. (day 13) Also a fun video topic for you to do would be how you, Spookston, would build your own tank army, delving into the features, armament, powerplant, roles, etc of your tanks. It can be of any setting, as well, or one of your own making.
