You guys have the energy of a therapist and a client lol. Spooks getting exposure therapy and Odd is there just to support his homie. Love your content both of you, good day!
Honestly, I want to thank you for making videos. I was getting really down there when I started watching you a few months back. I played War Thunder often but it wasn't fun at all. After watching some of your low tier ground videos I began to play some of the smaller countries in like rank 1-2, and the game has seriously become so much more enjoyable for me. Instead of getting revenge killed by a level 12 Ka-50 I'm just playing the game and having funny moments. Also I love the goofy edits you have been doing, they make me laugh a lot. Don't know if you're going to read this but it doesn't really matter. I just wanted to say thanks man, and keep up the videos.
I know you don't like playing high br vehicles (lets be honest 90% of us unfortunate enough to have gotten there don't) but it'd be nice to see a video dedicated to the otomatic
Honestly, I always treated and thought of the Lvkv 42 as an IFV, because that's kinda how it plays. It's a lower tier 9040B without the garbage repair costs and good teams. Also, it's really fun watching these collab videos with OddBawZ. The way you two interact is kinda funny, and you manage to fit all the memes and jokes in at the same time too. Great video as usual :)
I play war thunder controller only. Fortunately I have an elite V2 with paddles. I use top left bumper as a "shift" key to use Alt commands. It's took a while to setup but I can use everything I need to Pity the mouselook speed is SLOWWWW and it cannot be changed the setting does nothing on console.
Speak of the devil, I got the AMX literally last night and went on a small rampage on my first game, even killing a kv1 near the end of the match (I think about 5 or 6 kills after 2 deaths in the FL10 Sherman). Thing is just absolutely insane.
I remember trying to spade this when I was grinding my 7.7 French lineup and the patch that buffed this thing dropped about halfway through and it was a night and day difference. We love the DCA in this household
The DCA at its peak was by far the MOST OP vehicle that has ever existed in this game. KV1E? Calliope? Pshaw! It was like Medusa, anything that saw it died. It got nerfed until it just mehs rather than equals nuclear holocaust to anything else. Seriously at it's peak it was almost unplayable anywhere near its BR as it just annihilated everything. AMX-13 mobility, and 240 rounds per minute. The only thing that's come close was the Sd.Kfz.234/4 when it was still at ridiculously low BR.
I think the dazzling effect of SPAA's is criminaly overlooked. Like you can't shoot back if entire screen is filled with explosions and smoke. Not to mention the deafening noise.
Hey man, love your content. I’ve genuinely gotten a lot better at the game from just watching you, I’ve gone up a couple tiers in just the last couple of weeks. And it’s a lot more enjoyable than tutorial vids! :)
for the record : the AMX 13-DCA 40 was even more a tank destroyer rather than SPAA before the buff before the maximum turret traverse rate was like 14 degrees/sec, making it a pretty lame SPAA to say the least, tracking was very sub-optimal. Vertical targeting speed was great, so it basically meant that without a lot of luck or a lot of planning, the only way to reliably get a plane with that vehicle was to get his attention, and wait that he'd dive on you and fly in a straight line trying to strafe you. Now with the 70+ degrees/second of turrent rotation speed, that thing just turned into a demon, capable of not only getting planes pretty reliably without relying on 50/50 tactics, but also can deal with way more ground ennemies than before. All of that without a BR increase. Amazing work on Gaijin's part lol
Yeah I legit get more ground kills with it than the 5.0-5.7 French tanks and I don’t even intent to use it against ground vehicles. But that’s just WT for you. The other day I first spawned in the 2.0 Flak Truck in a 3.3 match and ended up getting the most kills in my team. Same story. Was waiting for planes but had to engage way more ground vehicles.
0:55 it actually is one sight per gunner. The left gunner controls elevation and the right one traverse. Or flipped. Fact is the Bofors 40mm uses two gunners
Greetings Spook, I would like you to check out the French Locust (Or how I called it) Lorraine 37L. It's got 47mm gun that have 105mm of penetration with good angle performance. I used it to kill 2 7.7 tanks before, definitely a fun meme tank
To answer Spook's speculation about why there are two sights, it's because the job of bringing a AA gun of the period on target was typically split between two people, one for elevation the other for traverse, both of whom obviously need a sight, due to how quickly they had to train, often on entirely manual power, to get and keep on target and to avoid multitasking confusion in critical moments, which is pretty much the entire time an aircraft is in range TBH.
The AMX-13 DCA has a permanent spot in my line-up all the way up to 6.7. It performs SO WELL in the 5.0 to 5.7 range. It performs just as well as an actual SPAA and as a Tank Destroyer. The 40mm makes short work of most aircraft, once you mastered its aiming habits, and as a TD the rapid fire allows you to quickly kill lighter vehicles and, at worst, disable heavy tanks reliably. It's a must-have in anyone's France line-up!
Hey, spookston, I know you probably won’t read this, but how do I become more aware of my surroundings like sometimes I just get knocked out of the blue whenever I just looked in that direction by the way, I also play on Console and I’m currently waiting on headphones
The Crusader AA with the bofors it now 3.0. most tanks at that br get a round that pens around 75mm, the bofors solid shot pens 73mm. At 3.0 British tech tree you have a crusader with a (basically) fucking machine gun as a main canon.
Hey Mate amazing video as always, i do have a tip for using the funny LvKv 42 i recommand only brinding a full load of AP-HE it is way better than the pure ap at killing anything since most tanks have a exploitable weakspot you can nuke them threw, the only usefull thing about the pure ap is the abylity to pen a kv 1 dead on which may still not work when they angle. The aphe is such a mosterous round it shuld be the only one you bring in my opinion at least.
At 0:43 those most likely aren't range finders, most range finders you see (until laser) are usually long tubes. The Bofors 40mm had two gunners, one controlled elevation, the other traverse. This means that each gunner needed a sight in order to properly train the gun on target, which is what we are seeing here.
Interesting 🤔 That’s probably the case with a lot of AA guns. Wonder how effective that is in aiming at aircraft 🤔 Both need to do a good job to even probably aim 😵💫
hey spook, doing the thing where I suggest the Crusader III again. I love you playing with Odd! I went back and trawled through every collab you guys have made when I first found your channel, I think one of his videos with you is where I found your channel, come to think of it.
i assume the amx13 dca40? and skill issue i guess i dont know i can say one thing I LOVE IT i love it as a sppa and i love it as a light tank its great at both
I would like to recommend something i have NEVER suggested before, the Bmp-3 i honestly like it more than most other tanks in the whole russian tree just because it has a reverse gear. The other cool things it has is a bonus
Best part is that Gaijin only gives the AMX-13 DCA 40 at like 4.3 then expects you to handle yourself just fine with it all the fucking way to 8.3 until you finally get another SPAA.
Oh a great tank that nobody uses is the STRV M42 EH. It has terrible pen on the 75mm APHE but its has like 250g of explosives and nukes things. Very fun on a flank. You should try it.
This guy was not here for old HVAP at low tier... R3's at really low BR, 110pen with a perfect stabilizer. Sherman's were front penned by all the German AA from reserve up. Pitch black times. The AA had it, the German planes had it, your mom had it...
The Swedish Anti II Is a much better example, because unlike with the LVKV or AMX, everything IT faces has next to no armor, you can clean kill everything you face.
They are very good SPAA for people who are good at SPAA! Seriously, that PE-8 you watched crawling in near the end of the vid, you could have creamed him easily with that 40mm; those shells reach out a very long way.
I'm loving these new videos you've been making, you're doing such an awesome job with the content lately 😊! Idk if this is the right Avenue to make this request but would you consider doing a video on the T-26E? The T-26E is a massively up armored version of the normal tech tree T-26, it has an extra 40mm or armor on top of its normal stuff! It's a USSR tank at BR 1.7 and is so much more fun than the normal T-26, especially at medium range. You are such a small target and the extra armor does a great job of protecting your crew 😊
It has Snail eyes 🐌
But it doesn’t move as fast as a snail so it’s not historically accurate
Can't unsee this now ha
It has the eyes of its parents
The Snail is always watching...
All hail the snail! 🐌
You guys have the energy of a therapist and a client lol. Spooks getting exposure therapy and Odd is there just to support his homie. Love your content both of you, good day!
100% agree, I feel like you can hear Spookston smiling more when playing with Odd, their personalities seem to play off each other so well
@@Kiba_22 Yeah the Odd is the energetic always happy one and Spook sounds always so tired
@@Kiba_22 for reaaallll
It's always a good day when Spookston plays with Oddbawz
Yep. 2 Favourite War Thunder content creators together is always a good day. Odd's laugh is so infectious.
I agree
Agree to disagree -.-
These collabs are always just amazing
Honestly, I want to thank you for making videos. I was getting really down there when I started watching you a few months back. I played War Thunder often but it wasn't fun at all.

Don't know if you're going to read this but it doesn't really matter. I just wanted to say thanks man, and keep up the videos.
I really cant enjoy anything above 5.3 at this point. CAS and ATGM's are unbearably boring to die to.
Glad my videos have helped make the game a bit more enjoyable for you man
yeah exactly this, high tiers just sucked the joy out of the game for me. spooks videos got me back in.
Bro I've been loving that goofy french tankete at 1.0, that thing has some stealth!
Same. Gained a lot of knowledge out of these goofy videos
The falcon is another “AA” that is legitimately better against tanks than almost all British tanks
mostly because its one of like 3 british tanks with APHE lol
@@joeymt9215 The APHE isn't the killer.
It's the APDS-T.
100mm+ of penetration is absolutely no fucking joke.
Same with AMX-30 DCA since it has what i think are the same guns and ammo as the falcon. Having that much APDS is just wow.
Please keep these doing these collabs, they are very fun to watch
8:22 the seiemic charge sound so good
I know you don't like playing high br vehicles (lets be honest 90% of us unfortunate enough to have gotten there don't) but it'd be nice to see a video dedicated to the otomatic
The premium amx 13 with the 4 atgm, think it sits at 6.7. You gotta play thay one some time!
Spookston and OddBawZ collabs might be the best collabs out there
I love watching Spookson and Odd play together, it's just wholesomely fun to watch
The Swedish thing at 2.7 is amazing, and I love it.
L-62 Anti and the AA milk truck are pretty good
I killed a gun carrier with the L-62 the other day. Low tier bofors may suck for AA but man do they slap around ground targets.
Honestly, I always treated and thought of the Lvkv 42 as an IFV, because that's kinda how it plays. It's a lower tier 9040B without the garbage repair costs and good teams.
Also, it's really fun watching these collab videos with OddBawZ. The way you two interact is kinda funny, and you manage to fit all the memes and jokes in at the same time too.
Great video as usual :)
You two look like you have Soo much fun playing together. It looks like a blast.
An interesting challenge would be to play wt on controller, maybe in arcade as well to replicate the true casual experience
I play war thunder controller only. Fortunately I have an elite V2 with paddles. I use top left bumper as a "shift" key to use Alt commands. It's took a while to setup but I can use everything I need to
Pity the mouselook speed is SLOWWWW and it cannot be changed the setting does nothing on console.
RB only.
Speak of the devil, I got the AMX literally last night and went on a small rampage on my first game, even killing a kv1 near the end of the match (I think about 5 or 6 kills after 2 deaths in the FL10 Sherman). Thing is just absolutely insane.
Oddbawz is having so much fun, his laugh is contagious, love the guy, definitely play with him more!
The ostwind 2 is another example of this one time i was in a jumbo and one shot trapped my gun mantle and one shotted me with its APHE
I remember trying to spade this when I was grinding my 7.7 French lineup and the patch that buffed this thing dropped about halfway through and it was a night and day difference. We love the DCA in this household
The DCA at its peak was by far the MOST OP vehicle that has ever existed in this game. KV1E? Calliope? Pshaw!
It was like Medusa, anything that saw it died.
It got nerfed until it just mehs rather than equals nuclear holocaust to anything else.
Seriously at it's peak it was almost unplayable anywhere near its BR as it just annihilated everything. AMX-13 mobility, and 240 rounds per minute. The only thing that's come close was the Sd.Kfz.234/4 when it was still at ridiculously low BR.
Thanks for all the great content Spook! :^-^
i think the collabs between you and odd are some of the best war thunder videos. even the one you guys did on world of tanks was good somehow
love that you included the halo 1 magnum sound effect specifically
I think the dazzling effect of SPAA's is criminaly overlooked. Like you can't shoot back if entire screen is filled with explosions and smoke. Not to mention the deafening noise.
the AMX 13 with a Chaffee turret is the most cursed thing I have ever seen.
The person that killed the KV-1E was a dude named bad dragon 💀
Hey man, love your content. I’ve genuinely gotten a lot better at the game from just watching you, I’ve gone up a couple tiers in just the last couple of weeks. And it’s a lot more enjoyable than tutorial vids! :)
This is the most giddy I have ever seen OddBawZ.
The Crusader AA Mk-1 had the 40mm Bofors canon, slightly lower firearm than the amx but it’s still great at 3.0
I might be getting addicted to watching spookston. His smooth calm soothing voice ... i kinda fell for him with his entertaining gameplay
for the record : the AMX 13-DCA 40 was even more a tank destroyer rather than SPAA before the buff
before the maximum turret traverse rate was like 14 degrees/sec, making it a pretty lame SPAA to say the least, tracking was very sub-optimal.

these oddbawz collabs are so good
“Some anti air are better tank destroyers then actual anti air” -spookston
the APHE belt on the L-62 ANTI II is so darn effective i love it
The perfect way to relax. A spookston video
Oh man you guys are probably just so much fun to platoon with....
I always love the spookston and oddbawz collabs.
Chaotic good
i’ve started playing france and i got to about 7.7 and only having 2 aa’s from 4.3 to 8.0 is crazy france is so fun and i love everything about em
I love those collab videos with Oddbawz, cracks me up
I don't think I'll emotionally recover from hearing Odd say "It's Joever"
I love all the halo sound effects I can feel my neurons firing when I hear them.
The repair cost & times for the DCA 40 are just ridiculous high
0:55 it actually is one sight per gunner. The left gunner controls elevation and the right one traverse. Or flipped.
Fact is the Bofors 40mm uses two gunners
Maybe PTZ89 next time? On 8.7 it has good APFSDS and 5s autoloader
my favorite railgun. Even works against helis.
5:17 The squadron of AMX-13s, spreading the baguette influence.
Greetings Spook, I would like you to check out the French Locust (Or how I called it) Lorraine 37L. It's got 47mm gun that have 105mm of penetration with good angle performance. I used it to kill 2 7.7 tanks before, definitely a fun meme tank
"Do you still have wings"
"Ehhhhh"
Normal interaction
To answer Spook's speculation about why there are two sights, it's because the job of bringing a AA gun of the period on target was typically split between two people, one for elevation the other for traverse, both of whom obviously need a sight, due to how quickly they had to train, often on entirely manual power, to get and keep on target and to avoid multitasking confusion in critical moments, which is pretty much the entire time an aircraft is in range TBH.

It's a must-have in anyone's France line-up!
I can't hear "Boss, you killed a child" without hearing "That right there is why you're the best boss"
"Wher all my team gone"
My brother in christ, you're 3 feet away from their spawn.
With the turret Traverse buff the AMX-13 DCA is actually usable as an anti air finally, it used to match a Jumbo's turret rotation, was beyond painful
I appreciate the snark at the people who go on about French Surrender Monkeys, the numbers say different 😎
this makes me want to reinstall WT just to play the falcon, what a fun lil thing man
Even strafed by a plane he doesn't look up. That's how you know he knows how to play French SPAA!
missed the chance to say he was flying on a wing and a prayer
Hey, spookston, I know you probably won’t read this, but how do I become more aware of my surroundings like sometimes I just get knocked out of the blue whenever I just looked in that direction by the way, I also play on Console and I’m currently waiting on headphones

Well now I know what to play if any battle tasks require assists. Or shooting down aircraft.
At 0:43 those most likely aren't range finders, most range finders you see (until laser) are usually long tubes. The Bofors 40mm had two gunners, one controlled elevation, the other traverse. This means that each gunner needed a sight in order to properly train the gun on target, which is what we are seeing here.

That’s probably the case with a lot of AA guns.
Wonder how effective that is in aiming at aircraft 🤔
Both need to do a good job to even probably aim 😵💫
5:34 The winner is when he is first throughout the race or when he reaches the finish line first
I gotta hold back so much laughter while in class lmao but thanks for always bringing so joy spooksten
The bofors “late” version is classified as entirely new gun, Dubbed the Bofors L/70.
The one known for its service in WW-2 is the Bofors L/60.
hey spook, doing the thing where I suggest the Crusader III again. I love you playing with Odd! I went back and trawled through every collab you guys have made when I first found your channel, I think one of his videos with you is where I found your channel, come to think of it.
God this brings back nightmares of the ZSU-57-2
I despite this vehicle solely because of the zoom, if you shooting a plane sideways, you'll lead so much you wont see the target in your reticle.
i assume the amx13 dca40? and skill issue i guess i dont know i can say one thing I LOVE IT i love it as a sppa and i love it as a light tank its great at both
I would like to recommend something i have NEVER suggested before, the Bmp-3 i honestly like it more than most other tanks in the whole russian tree just because it has a reverse gear. The other cool things it has is a bonus
Best part is that Gaijin only gives the AMX-13 DCA 40 at like 4.3 then expects you to handle yourself just fine with it all the fucking way to 8.3 until you finally get another SPAA.
To be honest I quite like these collabs with odd. It's great.
I want to hear you scream out of rage with everything you've got just once. It would definitely fit with the War Thunder experience
YES!!! THE AMX-13-M24 FINALLY MADE IT ON A VIDEO!!!!
ironically, I just dropped like 5 kills with it at 7.7 France a few minutes before this video...
It's kinda ridiculous things like the the AMX and Ostwind have essentially instant reload times, especially with the high fire-rates they got.
The APHE round on the LvKv was doing more than when I have shot stuff with the Russian 122mm
Oh a great tank that nobody uses is the STRV M42 EH. It has terrible pen on the 75mm APHE but its has like 250g of explosives and nukes things. Very fun on a flank. You should try it.
This is like the first time i’ve ever seen you do CAS in a video
Using AAA as tank destroyer is definitely the meta.
Love watching the videos with OddBawZ! Hope to see a ratty video with the Wiesel 1A4 and keep going Spook!
High tier was a shock to me when I first reached it because very often it's like those 20mm 30mm cannons do more damage than my 120mm apfsds.
This guy was not here for old HVAP at low tier...
R3's at really low BR, 110pen with a perfect stabilizer.
Sherman's were front penned by all the German AA from reserve up. Pitch black times. The AA had it, the German planes had it, your mom had it...
Anti II in the Swede tree is a monster....absolute monster. The choice of 9/10 Seal Clubbers.
I love it when my favorite tanks get featured.
ZSU-57-2 has a special place in my heart.
The Swedish Anti II Is a much better example, because unlike with the LVKV or AMX, everything IT faces has next to no armor, you can clean kill everything you face.
I'm happy to see more of the Odd/Spooky friendship :)
My favorite pastime is flanking German mains at 5.3 with this
Play the crusader AA it's quite fun with 40mm
Love the DUO games. Y'all gotta get Phly and Dollar to join sometime. 4 Man MAUS game or something.
Sweden has some interesting vehicles for sure, especially in the lower BRs, which makes it all the more satisfying to do well on them.
I love how they’re known as the thumbnail eyes
The number one that comes to mind apart from the DCA is the ZSU-57-2. Sucks ass as AA but it works supremely well as anti tank.
I literally unlocked the swedish one very recently AND EVEN STOCK is more than just playable
Sorry but i love it when you get jumpscared by shots like the one from the KV at 4:15. Its so funny
For some reason I only ever get air kills in this thing while I am driving and casually shooting at that pesky plane.
They are very good SPAA for people who are good at SPAA!
Seriously, that PE-8 you watched crawling in near the end of the vid, you could have creamed him easily with that 40mm; those shells reach out a very long way.
Mmm, never get tired of that smoove Halo jazz...
We want the Haw Pad series 😭
I'm loving these new videos you've been making, you're doing such an awesome job with the content lately 😊! Idk if this is the right Avenue to make this request but would you consider doing a video on the T-26E? The T-26E is a massively up armored version of the normal tech tree T-26, it has an extra 40mm or armor on top of its normal stuff! It's a USSR tank at BR 1.7 and is so much more fun than the normal T-26, especially at medium range. You are such a small target and the extra armor does a great job of protecting your crew 😊
