[@crimsonarbor1744]

As someone who has only really played Sweden it's reassuring seeing Spookston having issues with penetration too. However seeing him get a bunch of kills with them anyways is not so reassuring but at least I know it's a skill issue

Watch and learn sir. May his wisdom befall upon you and his success be passed down to your person.

[@lucasvyner1502]

with out being savage, yeah it's a skill issue. find more tank sides, do a lot of research on where to shoot in the armory against your biggest problems, and forget the muscle memory for everything that came before it because the sabot pen on most of their stuff is a trap.

[@samuelkiral]

You should play the T-80 (the WW2 one) At 2.3 it has a very decent armour, good gun with quick reload, is pretty fast and gets scouting as well

[@lucse_mensen]

I was thinking the same!

[@Krymch4k]

This thing gets uptiered to Sherman way too frequently at it's BR 💀

[@LURKTec]

It’s dogshit lmao It’s not fast It has no armor It has abysmal targeting speeds

[@mhplayer]

I'm sorry but PRETTY FAST??? dawg its competition is the BT-7 and the T-28 which both go 3 to 4 times faster on leveled ground, have the same gun and 3 times the survivability (ufp of T-80 is really trolly tho i'll admit and spotting is nice, but that thing's the most passive tank in the low br russian bracket as there's way better tanks that use the same gun at the same br)

Hey spookston you should play the As-42/47 (yes I know you just played the AA version). The 47mm at 1.7 can obliterate pretty much anything. As a mediocre player I somehow managed to get a 10 kill match with it, so I think you would have some fun.

Hey Spookston! I think that you should play the Turan III, it has decent armor, insane speed for a medium tank both fowards and backwards, and an amazing gun. It is my favorite tank in the game and has carried me through Tiers III and IV. Another tank i recomend is the italian M41M, for its Br it has a great gun and a nuke for ammunition (350g of explosive filler), its a lot of fun killing everything in one shot.

[@a_bad_channel]

14:49 that reminded me of that one scene in war of the worlds where the humvees are exploded and start rolling down the hill

Your a good man for posting on my birthday specifically just for me. Obviously 6:56 gohans ssj 2 theme song mentioned best them songs ever or was that vegetas I think it was vegetas actually

[@orionsalt8288]

You should try the Sav m/43 (1944) it has the same gun as the EH but better for it's br (1.7) and it has 50mm of armor at 25 degrees. That thing is a beast when angled although you need to find the perfect point becuase of its angled side plates.

[@CP717]

The fact the T18E1 is 3.0 is absolutely insane! I've had the tank for years and never played it until i saw you play it. Now its my favorite tank in the whole game and i almost exclusively bring it to 6.3 to give tiger players confusion. Its almost like playing a stealth game. Thank you for showing me this amazing tank, keep up the excellent work Spookston!

[@ODST_Parker]

I remember spading this thing alongside the Ikv 73 I had just unlocked at the time, basically the same tank. It was not very good then, because it was at like 3.3 or something. Now, as I'm making my way back through early Sweden and Finland, spading everything as I go, I'm looking forward to giving these another try.

[@TAM1906]

"The Swedish tank tech in War Thunder is often heavily overlooked" I wish that was the case I am sick of fighting against VIDAR

[@majorassault5074]

You might enjoy the ELC BIS. At 6.0 it's very small and let's you hide in funny spots, reasonably mobile and it get's 300mm of HEATFS pen. It also has pretty ok gun depression and, hilariously, if it get's hit in the lower part of it's front plate it can tank 155mm HE rounds (and anything below that, obv)

[@Epsilon2042]

This thing is so OP that even when I messed up and brought 8 HE shells, 28 Solid Shots (I had APHEBC unlocked and accidentally switched them in the modifications window) and 28 smokes (New ammo so it was maxxed), I still got 6-11 kills whilst sustaining heavy fire from 2-3 people at a time. Even with the pain of solid shot, it was a monster. Now imagine if that tank was using APHE... Yeah, it quite literally fires nukes. The map was Test-Site 2271 around and north of the A point.

[@kingpierce3347]

Hey spookston, you should play the Sherman 2 in the British tree. It's actually pretty good and has a really good aphe shell

[@corndoge3992]

You should play the Zachlam Tager, it's TERRIBLE, but I love using it and each kill seems clip worthy. Got some double and triple KO's and even a heli kill

[@cooldownboi3890]

I'm currently playing swedish low tier and this tank absolutely slaps, the AP hits like APHE with this gun. Also this and the Lago 1 has suprisingly good protection, sometimes I can receive 5-6 shots before I die.

[@blumpfreyfranks8863]

Attempt number 16 at getting Spookston to play any tank with a dozer blade, the catch is he has to dig in before engaging targets. Movement around the map is allowed, but he has to dig in again before reengaging.

[@yoface2537]

"we didn't need to cupola an M3" turns out that was in fact the only way to kill the M3

I really want someone to make a tank game where the wrecks are dynamic. So when you shoot a Puma with the ISU-152, it tears through the hull and breaks the plates without even detonating the fuse.
