5:23 the reason you didn't penetrate it is because even though you have enough penetration to penetrate a tank, the shell will simply shell splatter after Gaijin did something with it. I remember seeing Malzi for example kill T-34 and a Panther but now it does nothing.

[@mesidiasvellal8353]

[@StarkRaven59]

It seems like any shell that can shatter shatters more often than before. Maybe confirmation bias, but I see a lot more of my APDS just stop existing once it sees armor.

As I understand it the USCH is an armored Mercedes UNIMOG. The unimog of you don’t know is like the size of a VW microbes but weighing in at the same as a F150. The thing has a tiny little diesel engine and 12 forward and reverse gears! They are known for their reliability and capabilities, a true go anywhere machine… that will get there at about 30 mph.

[@Sithilis]

5:23 summary: Shots 1-10: Clearly "hit". Shots 10-20: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control). Shots 20-30: Very close to crew, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses. Shot 31: Likely didn't actually hit because Spookston was already dead.

[@corsairsofnarshaddaa]

It's an old meme, but it checks out.

I am very much looking forward to your KV-7 video. I initially suggested it on the old forums years ago, so it brings me joy to have it playable!

My head cannon is the U-SH used to be this spaa version but it was bullied relentlessly. So it decided to mount two 105mm heat cannons on itself and since then it has become the most feared of all gremlins.

Anything with HVAP is unusable nowadays. I shatter my AMX-40's 20mm coax with 60mm of pen on BMP and Begleits all the time even though it should be able to pen it easily. Gaijin tries not to make their product worse challenge impossible. While on the topic. Could you play the AMX-40? 30HP/t, 20mm coax, thermals, 400mm pen dart, LRF. All at 9.7. Extremely good package.

[@dinochookproductions5190]

my favourite thing about the amx40 is its excellent engine, so much more speed and acceleration compared to the amx32, aswell as more armour. im glad its not the only 9.7 vehicle anymore and now has a great lineup

[@lancistyes]

yea the reason its bad is becuz tanks have armor, like its an spaa not a tank destroyer like the zsu 57

[@BattleSaberj]

Many rush straight to get killed instead of thinking and using tactics.

[@xxfalconarasxx5659]

The issue I have with it is the lack of scouting. This thing was LITERALLY classified as a "Scout Car", so it boggles my mind that War Thunder wouldn't give it that ability.

[@bellidrael7457]

Spookston making a video on 'The most useless tank' -It's not a tank, it's an armored car -It's an AA vehicle, and he judges it by how good it can kill tanks Seems about right.

[@commisaryarreck3974]

It is a rather shit AA vehicle Little ammo, serves better at a light tank annihilator

[@profshamrock9352]

Considering the video title is, “*War Thunder’s* most useless tank,” maybe you should consider the vehicle in that context

[@apenguininthemist855]

The trouble is, almost every AA in the game is a better TD than the TDs. Plus, this little gremlin forgot to have room for ammo in spite of being a hollow tin box.

[@xxfalconarasxx5659]

-War Thunder labels everything as a tank, even if it technically isn't. -It's not an AA vehicle, it's a Reconnaissance Vehicle. It should have been classed as a Light Tank to get scouting, but Gaijin didn't for some reason.

[@SilvaDreams]

​@commisaryarreck3974 only good thing is with the next update AA like this will be able to drop a ammo box to reload without sitting on a cap. No more being out of amo after shooting down one or two planes.

The a-10 sound at 9:35 was perfect

[@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 13)
