@@zoro115-s6bIS2 is not bad at all. You’ve got a really good gun who’s only weakness is reload, which you can make up for by not rushing in immediately. You’ve got pretty decent mobility, not bad but not the best. And you’ve got pretty good armor, which can block a fair few shots
I absolutely adore this gremlin mobile. It fits so well with the other 20mms in the lowtier line up, making it feel like you have different flavors of the same vehicle. Giuseppe the gunner has eaten so much shrapnel and cannon shells, it feels like he's four crewmen in one and any solid shots will just go throw one door and out the other. By far one of my fav vehicles and as an Italian main, if I need some stress relief from high tier, the AS and the rest of the lineup gives me what I crave.
This thing used to be evil before the apcr got nerfed. 64mm of pen made it able to kill everything but a b1, meaning literally all but one tanks were easily killed with one of the fastest vehicles in the game. 48mm is okay but when the change happened, it was very noticeable
Hey Spook, I'd like to see you play the Stug III A. It's a really overlooked low tier TD that can work as a brawler with decent armor, good mobility and a quick-reloading point-and click heat dispenser.
I've recently been itching to play low tier after playing a couple hundred games using 6.7 Germany, so I went to use the M4A3 105, M22 and M5A1. Very fun combo in my humble opinion.
Hey Spook, you should play the Semovente 75/46 M43. It's a deeply overshadowed italian tank destroyer which can deliver an heavy punch but it's deeply ignored the potential it has. I am not gonna surrender in proposing this. I AM NOT GONNA SURRENDER, BE CLEAR! I A M N O T B A C K I N G O F F! Y O U C A N' T K E E P G E T T I N G A W A Y W I T H I T ! Eyo, don't yo dare ignoring me, I won't surrender until you play it! (Day 136)
I think you should try the leopard 1a5. It has thermals at 9.3 and a laser rangefinder, also the reverse speed is outstanding and the APFSDS it gets is quite good.
@@webig1805 Its not too bad since DM23 and DM33 takes care of it nicely. Just remember to aim lower plate or driver's port. If all else fails, gun barrel and breech are always there.
@@cyanaquamarinedm23 can pen the UFP at decent angles, aiming for the lower front usually ends up in a fuel tank eating everything so there is no point
I'd love to see you revisit the M60 AMBT, it is one of, if not my favorite vehicles in the game. The last video on it also lacked commentary, and I want to know what you actually think about it.
Your editing, and gameplay skill is significantly better vs three months ago, just watched the Germany captured tanks video, and you do significantly better recently. Keep improving, and good afternoon.
The Italians are the peak of this trope...their Autocannoni are literally _nothing_ but Trucks with Guns. They are the best at it; almost a dozen different models; everything from 20mm chatterboxes to a literal *4.1 inch Naval Gun.* I'm just glad to see them starting to appear in WT.
Try the Ab43, its basically an upgraded version of this and it helped me get all the way to 4.7 before I finally decided to use a different tank. Then ofc mid tier Italy (5.0-~8.7) is op asf
Hearing you say you like trucks with guns on top. i think the 'Lancia 3ro' is also something you should try. it being the literal embodiement of a truck with a gun ontop
this here was the other italian one I wanted to recommend to you, i recently got 15+ kill with it, but you should do the r3 103 (the one with 2 recoiless)
you should make a video on the mbt2000, i heard its very good for its tier. it has the dtc10-125 and has 31 km/h reverse speed, which is good for most chinese tanks
So the game allows you to drop bombs in a situation like at 6:46, but on multiple occasions it didn't allow me to drop bombs in a low pass because "you cannot drop ordnance while on the ground". Very cool.
Also love your videos spookston, never fail to both enighten me on how a tank plays and put a smile on my face. PS: try the Ersatz M10 if you can its very goofy
day 97 : you should try the jagdtiger sometime. it's extremly slow, doesn't have a turret, gets uptiers all the time, and most importantly, you'll have to play with german teams. the very definition of suffering. (i know he saw this comment, but imma keep at it until the Jagdtiger video is out) we're almost in the triple digits
I find it amusing that it gives you a Crew Replacement... For a 2-man vehicle. Ah, yes. Lemme just replace my crewmate! Oh wait! I lose one, and I insta-die!
Theres nothing as funny 'nor hilariously satisfying as playing these goofy vehicles. Man I need to play this thing but thanks for the great videos as always Joob!
AS 42 and /47 are big fun. I had a game (granted, arcade) with the /47 and i sat in one spot just raining Arties down because i got so many kills to the point where i think i got 1 arty from cool down and the rest were all from kills and i just screened their entrance into A point. All you could hear was constant arty fire
Speaking of the Italian tech tree, surprised to see you haven't covered the AB-43 yet. Underrated ratty vehicle, nimble, APHE with 69mm of pen and enough explosive filler to more often than not one shot Shermans, Panthers, T-34s and the like from the side.
If you like autocannon on truck, I highly recommend the French CCKW 353 AA Pros: - 40mm bofors at 120 r/min and fast reload - very speedy truck - no armor = best armor - sits at Br 2.0 - 6 hot French gentlemen at your service (will yell in French) Cons: - no armor = machine gun fire is deadly - cannot shoot straight over the driver’s cabin I don’t think you’ve covered this vehicle yet, I hope I’m not mistaken… I always have fun when I take it out and I hope you will too!
Hey Spookston, you shoukd really play the Kugelbltz, it also is like the ZSU 57, it is real fun! Since it is basically a Pz. IV fighting with cold war tanks (it just has an autocannon that sends CAS to AAUGHHHN mimimi, somewhat…) so yeah! Play Kugelblitz plz
when you Wiesel 1A4 and be scared of everything or Type 87 RCV (P) which is bigger, has no laser rangefinder, no thermals and is slightly higher br with the same main armament. sounds like a lot of fun to me
I like the first Swedish spaa, it absolutely shreds anything at it’s br and the only down sides are that you have 2 crew and any mg can hit your gunner (that protective plate sucks) and only 3 mags of 36 bullets
I know a useful way of playing this one and its sister: Only take half ammo, then only the racks on one side will be filled, slap some branches and stuff on the opposite side and then use the car's mobility to always position yourself in a way that you're almost fully concealed by bushes while also not exposing your ammo racks to spontaneous combustion
War thunder needs to model the affects of velocity on armor bc it’s ridiculous that a round from a 120mm gun can shatter on a 5mm skirt when the round had enough velocity to rip through the tank if it was tumbling sideways
Hey Spookston, just wanted to say thank you. I know I'm not as fast as usual, mainly because I ruined my sleep schedule on WT lmao. But I appreciate the videos deeply. And you help me more than I can say. In the words of John F. Kennedy of Clone High, "I like your funny words, magic man."

Lancia Ro 100/17 would be very "fun" for you, I am sure. It has all of your favourite characteristics: it is big, it is slow, it has terrible gun traverse, it has zero armour and its shell velocity is very slow. But hey, it atleast it has big boom cannon.
The other Italian car with gun is my go to! The 2.0 version of this one. I say a quick prayer to Gork & Mork and then “Speed is my armor” right into the action. Some games 12+ kills

I can attest to this. It's very strong vs low caliber weapons when angled, and uses a HEAT shell that can take out a 105 sherman from the front!
I always liked the silly Italian low teirs. Video 42 of asking spookston to play the AML-90
Yea, I enjoyed grinding most of them, they were all pretty good vehicles

will love to see spookston play the Chi Ha Kai, it is a very fun little tank

If you like this one, you should try the ZSU-37 it is a very fun "aa" at 3.7 with a 37mm that gets ap. It can shred panzers indisriminatevly
and apcr which can pen the chirchill frontally
Spading that thing is a pain though.
