This Tank Makes Armor Irrelevant

Day 13 of asking ze furry to play the amx 10P :D

[@gamingcollabs7267]

The reason the Type 99 appears to have double the ammo is because its like the early Soviet 122mms. That is to say, the shots are separated by shells and charges.

[@crwspy6484]

2 stage ammunition- shell itself and the kaboom

[@interpl6089]

It's called two piece ammo

[@raffcrafter8855]

Exactly what I wanted to comment about

[@zielakbb2400]

its like the new russian 152mm shells and nato 155mm shells.

[@sirtiberius1083]

you can even see it in the x-ray

[@fruta6279]

3:37 that is 18 round, the propellant and the shell is separated I believe edit: changed 7:27 to 3:37

[@thunderbolt4494]

That is correct. You can see the actual shells on the bottom and the propellant charges on the top

[@Spookston]

Yea I was just getting VIDAR flashbacks, where it would give you way more ammo than you wanted to

[@NathanPa-xo3zj]

​@@Spookston😂 Never question our Lord and Savior Gaijin or he will took it from you

[@ArcticArmy]

incredibly late, but i'd like to say for some reason the type 99's ammo is incredibly durable and youre likely to die to crew loss first, so just take all 30 rounds

[@chiefpapos]

Immediate smile on my face during a rather stressful and difficult week. Thanks Mr. Spookston.

[@lordhickory3322]

3:40 it is not 18 rounds, but that is because the top two rows are 17x propellant (the cylinders with no pointy tip), and the bottom two rows are 17x rounds (cylinders with pointy tip). Plus 1 round and propellant in the gun makes 18 Also, please play the Strv m/42 EH

It's a real shame you didn't use the VT rounds. The velocity on them is still high so they are easy to aim, and they turn aircraft inside out. I figure power-bonking CAS would make you like the vehicle even more.

[@turtledovechen176]

fun fact, every year at the 富士総合火力演習(just a big drill/ PR thing JSDF do every year), JSDF use type 99 to draw the shape of mt Fuji in the air with air burst ammo,you can find a lot of video of this on youtube, really cool trick

[@generalmcshooty397]

Y'know what tank is also hilarious? The AS-42/47.

[@me_ya_boi]

Omg ive been requesting it for a month!

[@LettuceGayming]

Oh yes. Fast reload, insane traverse speed, good gun, one of (if not the) fastest vehicles at rank 1

[@OriginalBlackmoore]

This little guy also has some of the best prox-HE shells for AA. They're so fast it's very easy to aim.

[@saisyuumaho]

after getting very comfortable using the type 75 as an AA, this is like taking off training weights, double the muzzle velocity and double the effective explosive filler

It looks like someone photoshopped the turret to be extra big lmao

[@AlreadyTakenTag]

Here's an idea for a possibly painful challenge. Play the Japanese I-Go Ko or the Chi-Ha. But you can only use the APHE round. Only having 21mm pen at point blank is certainly an experience.

[@ghoohg551]

You should try bringing the m50 into 9.0 ish games. I've had a blast doing that and either get a ton of kills or die instantly. So basically the top tier experience.

[@crazyadam9281]

The funny thing about this SPH is that it fires British 155 HE rounds, the L15A2 is one of the main rounds fired from the British AS90 SPH.

[@chadtheafricanbullfrog]

To my knowledge, L15A2 is also the standard 155mm HE-FRAG of the JGSDF alongside aging Type 75 and M107 stores.

[@misterputin8898]

Type 99 means that the AS-90, M109 Paladin, Pzh 2000, Archer, Caesar and Msta-S are coming in the next few months.

[@adrianjarczynski3582]

@@misterputin8898well well well.

[@SantiagoDiaz-bx7rj]

8:41 the sound fits perfectly

[@chadtheafricanbullfrog]

I’ve been absolutely loving this thing, and I believe it has the highest HE filler of any 155mm in the game with the upgraded L15A2 shell having 14.8 kg of TNT equivalent.

[@irirjhrhr4645]

yeah it's the most penetarting he shell

[@Gurtanic_1912]

Gaijin really loves all the sph there came so many of These in such a short time, speaking from the m109 a1 and all the others would be very funny if you one of them

worst adition to the game. All need to go at least 2.0 tiers higher

[@civilrebel3743]

I honestly hate it. Every single match is just SPG spam

[@misterputin8898]

They are the new cold war lolpen go karts facing WWII tanks. Gaijin wipped HEAT-FS slingers from 6.7-7.0 just to fill that br with the same shit some months later.

[@saisyuumaho]

@@misterputin8898 nah that BR range is sadly full of heat-fs still. Not counting premiums, america has 2~3, germany has 2, russia has 1, britain has 1, china has 2, japan has 4, italy has 2, france has 1, sweden has 0~1 (depends if you count heat-g). Only israel lacks a vehicle with heat-fs in that battle rating bracket.

[@AdmiralJT]

3:39 yeah I think its supposed to be 17+1 but they have the 17 rack twice due to two piece ammo. When zoomed you can see the shell (bottom rack) and charge (top rack) look different

[@MyWaifuNow]

The crackle in the hanger music is supposed to be like it was coming from a real record, its a kind of music called lo-fi and I hate it too

[@indanger4513]

Hey Spookston could you play the T30 it got buffed recently as it’s HE shell now has 9 Kg of tnt. Basically an armoured m109.

[@nathan_51163]

The M109A1 is actually my favorite vehicle of the game right now, love that thing. Love overpressuring Tiger 2 and soviets tanks just fun !

[@FatherGrigori]

Hey waiter! More artillery vehicles please!

[@Mister_Clean]

Hey waiter! There's an artillery vehicle in my cake

[@matthewhunter2443]

[@HumanShisno]

The fact you didn't use this as a CAS destroyer as well amazes me.

[@aiedenoldstien9751]

Probably because it is one of those things where you think a "Tank destroyer" is gonna be for tanks subconsciously. It's kind of goofy still that Gajin continues to make them AAs by giving them all proxy rounds for no reason.

[@HumanShisno]

@@aiedenoldstien9751 there is a reason. It's called fun.

[@aiedenoldstien9751]

@HumanShisno Is War Thunder really fun? Isn't it supposed to make you go insane? I think Gajin threw fun out the window then they started adding propaganda machines and removing vehicles features for "balance reasons"

[@HumanShisno]

@@aiedenoldstien9751 I think you're reading a bit too much into a video game my friend. But to each their own.

[@aiedenoldstien9751]

@HumanShisno I'm reading what Gajin tells me about their game. When they tell me it's the most realistic military vehicle game. Though the game is far from any semblance of it. Russia gets all sorts of overpowered vehicles and equipment on their vehicles that doesn't exist. Sweden had most of their top tier planes added without tracking radars and no tracers. America has most of their stuff needlessly uptiered and nerfed constantly. AP and APHE are both modeled completely wrong. I'm not looking too much into it. I'm looking at what I'm told Gajin thinks is "realistic"

[@alexgibbs3580]

Please play the JaPzK A2, autoloader, good APFSDS, gen 2 thermals, good mobility and a laser rangefinder all at 8.7 really make this a hidden gem in the german and french tech tree (french one is SK 105 A2)

3:37 The reason the shells look like they are twice the amount Spookston brought here is because the shells are separated between the actual shell and the shell head (AKA the slug or the projectile). So it looked like he brought 36 shells when he actually did bring 18, they were just in two parts. The same situation occurs with multiple other self-propelled howitzers, and the KV-2 as well.

[@lucythevelociraptor]

You should play all CV90s in one lineup and see how they all perform together.

[@TheEpicNoob]

Try the m4a3 105, its frontal armour is great for 3.0 and at that tier it can one shot things easily

[@bahamut256]

Half expecting spookston to start singing burn down the rainforest from South Park at this rate. Also you can kill the Jagtiger from the front, by shooting the inside edge of the tracks, as gaijin in their infinite wisdom have given it a 10mm joint underneath the tanks sides.

[@Gently_Used_Hotdog]

the proxy round on this thing makes it a more effective AA gun than some SPAA's, the high muzzle velocity and the fact it's a 155 HE proxy round makes it quite easy to actually shoot down planes

3:43 yes that is 18 rounds and 18 separate gunpowder propellant bags

[@JmbFountain]

I really can't wait for Spookston to play the PzH2000 as soon as it's out. No Idea how they would balance it through, a peak reload of 3.3s on a 155 seems extremely busted

[@dylanoconnor1458]

Sweden already has something similar with the Bkan

[@tigertank1819]

Did you forget about the Swedish Ban Cannon with its less that 2 second reload already in the game.

[@notafrog2040]

They won’t give it its fast reload time, like how they won’t give the type 10/90 their 2.5/3 second burst mode. It’s fine tho

[@kareemmohamed2327]

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

With the amount of Cold War & modern SPHs being added into the game, I'm feeling like Gaijin is going to forget to add some WWII SPHs for those people who play low to mid tiers.

[@aiedenoldstien9751]

They'll probably add them as event vehicles or something down the line. If they don't, they'll find a way to make them premium
