The American M8 Greyhound light armored car was a very prolific vehicle during WW2. There's even a recorded instance of one destroying a heavier German tank, possibly a Tiger or Panther. In War Thunder is is capable of the same feat, but in its native battle rating of 1.0 it is an absolutely absurd vehicle. Possibly even overpowered. Gaijin could probably move it up and it'd still do very well.

A Tiger Tank's Worst Nightmare - เกม
clearly this is the vehicle that won the war
@Anonymous_User put apds on it an bring it to 9.0
I would've said the T34 is the Tigers worst nightmare, but this. this is truly a eldritch horror
chaffee:
*Bob Semple Tank wants to know your location*
The 37 is all you need
One of the most common armoured cars - US event vehicle
One off Panther prototype - main German tech tree
the most common float plane in the french navy, the best torpedo bomber is event
Most produced armored car in French army = event , worst and least produced variant of it = tech tree
At least you can have it as a techtree vehicle on the chinese tree
Its funny how its on the Chinese main tech tree but not the US one lolol
@@jPlanerv2 exacly! I hope the late 298 is the scout plane on board of cruisers coming next update
In case you missed it, .50 cal SLAP rounds were actually added to the game last update for the AH-6M's GAU-19s. For as far as I know it's the only vehicle that has them though, but just imagine every US .50 cal in game having SLAP rounds lmao
50 cal SLAP rounds can open through 2 inches(57mm) of titanium, there is a video about it.
Now imagine M16 with that.
Hoping they add them to abramses at least
just bringing back pre-nerf black tip AP would change dynamics a lot. That thing would cut up most T1 tanks frontally at close range, if you knew where to aim.
I would take my M13 then, it’s my fav vehicle 😅.
That's a round I haven't heard of a in while.
We used to carry SLAP-T rounds on our M1a1s in Afghanistan. Can confirm, nasty fucking round.
I will NEVER forgive Gaijin for the 10th Anniversary vehicle giveaway. I got literally every single vehicle I didn't want, and none of the vehicles I wanted. Chief among them, the M8 Greyhound in the US tree.
I can go play the one in China, of course, and it's still a blast. I just think it's criminal that such an iconic American vehicle is limited to a highly limited (or expensive) event premium.
They did the same thing with the 75mm puma.
In the china tech tree the round of th .50 does nothing
@@GeraltofRivia22 Even the Sd.Kfz.251/22, the "PaK-track," got thrown into a battle pass instead of the tech tree.
It was pretty much the only vehicle I wanted to get from the anniversary, and I got it. I REFUSE to play China. I also got the XF5F and the I-29 and a couple of stupid boats I will never play because naval is garbage. it was nice that the Snail did that but I still want the Boarhound.
Most of the iconic vehicles the player base keeps calling for get made into premiums. Recently they are made into battle pass vehicles for rank 1000 with them knowing full well that anyone with a life would need to purchase the vehicle to have it.
What’s a true nightmare for every vehicle in the game is the swing fire with it for sure being sooo good…..
The hardest spading I've ever done.
@@tedparkinson2033 If it wasn't for the broken ass overpressure/hulljank from scope hits it would have been less bad. That and the fact it can't turn hard straight out of the tube making it impossible to shoot in front of you. It was called Swingfire for a reason.
Worse spade has to be the doing all the Dusters before the BR drop, which they still wither to everything, but take less research and don't bankrupt you the same.
@@lector-dogmatixsicarii1537 I'd say what makes the Swingfire such a pain is the missiles aren't done right. Those Swingfire missiles were apparently able to do 90° turns almost immediately after launch. Instead they just kinda fly over whatever you aim at.
About that T28's red guy, I think what happened is that because you kept machine-gunning him, the "kill cam" never went away, and never updated the position of that guy after he moved to replace some other crew member
Sir , that was a T-35
@@konigs_ they literally look the same
@@bread5049 no
@@bread5049
From the front? *YES*
From the side? *NO*
@@gwonk8722 anyway T-28 is just budget T-35
1:52 theres a glitch with the hit cam where if you continuously fire and not allow the hit cam to dissappear, the crew positions dont update.
The reason why that guy ate so many rounds is because he was no longer in that position.
He was probably moved to the main guns seat.
Thank you, spookie. I love the Greyhound so much, but unfortunately, I only got the Chinese version because Gaijin is weird
Always great when Spookston uploads and thank God it's regularly
The thing that kills me the most is the fact that the only place to get it outside of an event is in the Chinese tech tree
That whole tree is literally a collection of all the best US, German, and Russian vehicles at every BR to try and pander to the Chinese F2P gaming market.
@@XSpamDragonX
Yup
They even gave the chinese T34 85 a God damn DHSK on top
It's almost the best tree
Also I hate that every nation gets the same tanks and aircraft. Simulator battles are getting unplayable. Ah yes I wonder which BF109 is the enemy. Or if that bushmonster is actually our teams or an enemy. A panther? German French or soviet?
A t34. Wonder if it's German soviet or Swedish
Chinachads winning again, no one can stop us, xi xinping will insure that sim is unplayable forever
@@commisaryarreck3974 i can agree on the SimB getting redundant. Might as well go Sherman & T-34 vs Sherman & T-34 and whoever brings the T-34-100 and the Super Sherman gets banned.
I honestly only play Sim to have fun in Bombers. the A-1H and A2D are insane at taking out enemy bases if the AA doesnt nuke you from 3 miles away.
Definitely one of my favorite vehicles. The .50 is a blessing
fr
I feel sad every time I play a tank with no roof mounted machine gun.
I just wish there was some way to Scout in tier 1 light vehicles so I could bring it up into some higher BR's.
@@whatdothlife4660 It's literally a recon vehicle and gaijin doesn't give it scouting smh.
@@blockstacker5614 I've suggested that tier 1 light vehicles have a Modification that you can apply to bump their BR up to 2.7 but give them Scouting.
After a 23 kill, 16 assist game in the M8, I decided to avoid it since I felt like I was kicking puppies (It works great even up to 3.7)
The .50 is the exact reason I love the M8 Scott so much. The heat round is great too, the amount of KVs and Tigers I've trolled in it is astronomical.
7:31 its also theorizes that it likely could have been a panzer 4 with extra armor as well
It's also been suggested it was a StuG, as that's what the German unit engaged in the area was equipped with.
It's important to remember that "Tiger" might as well have been synonymous with "armoured fighting vehicle" to the American GI.
@@kirotheavenger60 stop repeating neo-nazi cope; after-action reports from the war disprove your myth
@@kirotheavenger60 Let's be a bit fair though, that's hardly unique to the American GI.
The T-35 at the start is so menacing the way all its turrets swiveled to face it's attacker.
As menacing as it was, that T-35 player is the “slowest” I’ve ever seen (why can’t the ones I encounter be like that).
@@peterni2234 When I fight them usually they bullet sponge even the nastiest stuff I throw at them and proceed to pwn me with the 45mm.
11:25 that jagpanther fight was straight up some Girls und panzer shit, the guy must have been screaming fighting the allmighty greyhound
Laughed so hard at the audible frustration of the 'Theres a Tiger next to you!' and cut to the next battle since you knew it went terrible
1:52 You shot him in the groin and he's got BALLS OF STEEL.
Hey Spook, you should play the Semovente 75/46 M43. It's a deeply overshadowed italiano tank destroyer which can deliver an heavy punch but it's deeply ignored the potential it has.
(Day 33)
As a person who played a lot against italy i can confirm it can pack a punch
nuh uh
You have bested that jagdpanther untill the Is-2 came in lol
Video 30 of asking spookston to play the 7.7 amx 50s
playing 1.3 china was so fun for me. The greyhound is still one of my favorites along with the low tier heat slingers like the chi ha and m8 scott. Just pure fun lineup. With the greyhound and scott also being my aa
I love how in WT you're biggest source of pain is:
1. Server lag/packet loss
2. Stupid hit registration/damage model
3. Dumb teammates stealing kills and not saving you when you actually need them
-One of the most widespread vehicles of the whole war
Gaijin: "event vehicle, take it or leave it."
Entire sequence from 10:51 was absolutely hillarious. Definetly my favorite kind of gameplay video, keep it up
I got this during the rare vehicles event last year. Absolute joy at low tier though I feel a bit guilty cutting through new players with it
Love the Editing, the gameplay and the Commentary
9:04 this is why I say the Warthog's gun should be upgraded to a 37mm rotary cannon. The US actually made a 37mm rotary cannon as an AA gun after the second World War.
6:18 bro is a true American 🇺🇸
Love the vids,
Could you play with the SPJ FM43/44
(Swedish meatball launcher)
this video was epic i cant belive you did so well in the 6.3 game!
Enjoyed the video, but the best thing is the C&C Generals music in the background. So many memories :)
Average Russian man shrugging off a few shells to the chest 1:55
As a France main not having anything nice is indeed painful. Great vid as always.
Preach:(
I don't see why you're sad about not having anything nice being painful.
Don't you want bread?
@diggy's games it's more than having something nice, france is plagued with issues our snail god doesn't want to fix
AMX is perhaps one of the best of it's kind. Char 25t is also a beast. France does have some solid vehicles, just not really good lineups around them
@Slav King that's the thing, the French tree has no versatility at most BRs. And it's really nothing special except for the later vehicles and the auto-loaders that come with some of them. We don't even have a Bluewater Navy that isn't locked behind a pay wall. So yeah we can't have nice things without grinding through half of the tech trees.
Hi Spookston, hope your day's going well, I gotta work late but it's all cool cause your vid just dropped and now I'm gonna be watching that
11:00
"time to harass this man"
-Spookston, 2023
He he he ha new Spookston video lets freaking go!
Most patriotic and cursed Armored meme truck that the us ever made
Love your content Spookston
thanks man
love the music and old game qoutes like red alert and warhammer. ty
Think about it, m2a2 or T60 (yeah shvak is just a .50 equivalent and the first version of it in fact was 12.7mm) rely on a single .50 as main gun at br 1.0. So literally your M8 is two different flavor 1.0 tanks glued together.
I would love to see you try the marder 1a3, it can be really sneaky and sometimes op with thermals at 7.7
Not only does it have a 50 cal, it's on a 360 degree mounting making this an effective SPAA at low Br as well.
4:46 "I would just avoid that area of the map."
Proceeds to show the whole map.
Me enjoying the video....*Also me getting depressed playing 10.0 to grind for the event*
2:05 he might not have been there anymore, swapped to the main gunner position.
I do think this is for sure my favourite war thunder video ever. I laughed way too much
I love the memes you add
I know you don't like to play br above 7.7 but can you do a video about the BMD-4? It's a light tank that got overshadowed by a lot of vehicles in the br but it's quick AGM reload makes it really interesting
7:54 Spookston you called?
Spookston: if i kill any of these, I'll be happy
Also Spookston: *kills 2 of them in 1 life*
yo just wanted to tell you that I love the new "thanks to patreon producers" outro. it's way nicer now instead of just the black and names.
I've killed a KT (P) with a Locust once, back before volumetric. I'm not sure if the 37 MM can do much to a KT (H). I've tried it in test drive, but it seems the only place you can pen is in between the turret and chassis (shot trap) from the sides or back, but the turret ring takes most of the damage; it has to be very close range too.
Yeah, Locust can take out KT (H) but only through the turret ring.
I think there's a Thundershow episode that shows a locust massacre bunch of KT
As a germany main and a die hard tiger h1 fan this offends me
Got this thing during the 10 year anniversary never used it. Now you gave me a reason to try it out
12:09 this is the most emotion Spookston has every put into anything he has said ever
Personally i found it quite fun to play when i started to grind China. And yes, the .50 on that thing is quite the doombringer.
Also, why do we have a normal m8 for China but a premium/event one for America? Gaijin really works in mysterious ways.
You should play the XM8 American Premium tank, I feel like it would make a good video!
Isnt that also a gun 🤨
Wonder video as always
My man straight up dueled the Jadgpanther, mano-a-mano, with a Greyhound like what. That is really cool.
Day 25 of asking for DF105 action
I like the new credit scene of the patrons at the end👍👍👍
The funniest gameplay video of yours bro🤣🤣
I can watch you play light tanks all day.
I was lucky and ended up getting the M8 during the Sturmtiger event. Great video!
Watching your shots at 2 mins reminds me of yesterday where it took me all 8 shots of my Soma SM's autoloader to kill a m18's driver when I was shooting straight on into the driver. There must be some kind of bug with those solid shot rounds.
Spookston it's the 7th week in a row you've shown Tiger Tank's worst nightmare in class
I've had the same experience with the Crusader III at 5.7-6.3 WHICH IM STILL WAITING ON A VIDEO OF... :L Much love Spooky
I love doing this but with the Daimler AC, mostly because it’s open-topped and has great gun-depression in a remarkably small turret.
It’s also fast, manoeuvrable, stabilizer and has practically the same gun in the form of the 2-pdr as the American 37mm.
Im a transplant fron Oddbawz channel. Nice vid, I'm currently going through your backlog.
2:00 protected by stalin
I saw a greyhound in person yesterday, god I love those things
not even 5 seconds in and I hear uncle joey's beautiful voice, well done
I like your vids, you are just so much better than anything I could be in this game lol. I'm not sure why, but I'm in love with the Valentine IX and I think it's the valentine XI. MM hates them but they have armor and great pen guns. They are slow but I'd love to see you rack up 20 kills in one :)
You should do a setup tour thatd be a fun vid to watch.
i was expecting a kentucky ballistics joke when you mentioned about SLAP rounds
I love how if I'm in a good match and I get bad network conection and get kicked I get so mad, and he just goes "that is so unfortunate "
3:11 Yes, the Tetrarch does have a stabilizer, the player was just slow.
"NO IS2 THERES A TIGER RIGHT NEXT TO YOU!!"
that had so much emotion
I request a video on the Pak Puma! It should fit your fast, nimble, and hard hitting play style so not to much suffering besides whatever Gaijin decides to inflict.
A video on ghe T-29 would also not be unappreciated so I can maybe see if I can steal any of your spots/routes to do better.
Believe it or not, this is actually the first ever Spookman video I've watched :)
Nice video
"I'm not the brightest individual." Immidiate collision with a rock.
At least there is self awareness
I didn't realise I had this thing but now I know I have one I gotta try it
It's 4am and the Spookston is very tired. He is eepy. The Spookston has had a very long day of splashing bandits.
awesome video, the american M8 is very unhinged, atleast you get good teams based on my own experience
bmp1 but its pain use the stock rocket
great vid !
This video has some of the funniest editing so far, loved it. The Iraq and the "spook says the whitest stuff" jokes made me laugh out loud and that's rare
its a spookston goes sealclubbing with an incredibly overpowered vehicle episode
So it was you, I saw a m8 in a IS-2 the other day and thought it was weird
I use this and the M38 Wolfhound in a strategy game I play and both are absolute beasts
The curved armor on the bt5 makes it like a sign saying “hit me here”
I give this a critter/10, solid episode of critter gaming.
Another great video as usual(also can you play the ro go?)
I feel like something’s over there… *American band starts playing over there in background*
I got it in the Event last Black Friday and it's just awesome to get God Mode in this thing
Spookston, please. I'm begging you to play the Chi-Ha short gun. You're slowly playing every tank except it, and its driving me insane
1:52
T-26 In bright white camouflage casually chilling in the background
"How did that not kill that guy" - trust me, Spookston, he wishes he were dead.
A couple of times I've killed Tiger 2H's in the M8. You have to aim at the rear turret ring "back of the neck". The Tiger 2P does not have this weakspot
