I'll say it again from Spook's old Jumbo video: *"There's nothing more satisfying than seeing an enemy panicking at the fact they shot a Jumbo, and it's still moving & aiming it's gun at them"*
tip for dealing with kv-85's and kv-122's: on the hull sides just below the turret, there is a decently sized 45mm plate that can be penned by just about everything at that br and lower (works when said kv tank attempts to angle, in the process exposing those weakspots).
You two have gotta play it differently, the angle only works on some tanks. As an American main, the jumbo is basically a tank I use to blow off steam after getting bullied in 8.3 (uptier hell) you can also always do the forbidden and just cover the Mg port
@@UNPSC-0 honestly, after playing the 75 jumbo for a while and getting used to it, I do think it was pretty good at 5.3, but with 5.7 being constant uptiers, basically anything goes right through you with no problems. I still think the 76 jumbo is absolutely useless at 6.3 though, especially with jumbo pershing at just 6.7
I do want you to know that your consistent use of the command and conquer general's theme has inspired me to relive my childhood and I am currently working on all of the generals challenges in zero hour
Man, I feel exactly the same way. If you have any tips on getting it working on Windows 10, please send them my way. Forgot how I did it last time 5 years ago lol
tbh, I'd love to see the 120mm compared to the 105mm premium. Or 9030 and panther/lynx comparison. 9040 is the best allrounder though, could play it on friends account twice
Knowing the weak spots of almost every tank and being able to one shot them vs people who cluelessly shoot at you is hella fun. Gotta respect your knowledge
3:39 - back when the Jumbo was...what? 4.3? I played it with nothing but APCR. Shooting each enemy was like surgically removing every single component and crew member, but boy was it fun. Also, hull breaking M10's with APCR was hilarious.
A beautiful lil' guy. Definitely where my love for heavy tanks started. Even if the cannon is underpowered for where it fights, being able to actuallt tank shots is just so good.
Yeah I agree that the field upgrade kit would be a good add-on, and while I'm against adding Premiums, I'm shocked they never added the Thunderbolt VII as a premium. It's the add on armor kit one but commanded by the guy the Abrams is named after.
There's a bug exactly on the sherman 75 right now (there could be more, idk) that basically overpressures tanks by shooting where the turret and cannon is connected, which is an absolutely ridiculous bug. You should maybe check
Jumbo is the ultimate brawler. It can take a hit and keep throwing out punches to disable everything in its field of view, and it's mobile enough to get around the battlefield faster than most heavies. It getting constantly up-tiered (can't wait until the 76mm Jumbo is 6.7 next) is proof Gaijin doesn't understand that German and Russian players will always lose to a stabilized 75mm if they can't just straight up penetrate its armor and kill it in one shot. They had to make even the 75mm version fight King Tigers, because Germans just want to delete it from existence with the long 88mm, and Gaijin thinks that's balanced.
3:55 as a sherman main with almost 2000 hours on nothing but 75mm shermans "i don't think i can pen that anywhere" correction, you can pen that thing literally _everywhere_
I'm wondering if Gaijin will ever add the Palmaria SPH for Italy, as they've been on a mid to top tier SPH binge lately. Or something completely out of left field they could add is the Sabiex HIFV. Made in & most likely for use by the UAE, it's an OF-40 Mk. 2 chassis with the turret of the BMP-3.
I always get full uptiers in the jumbo so my experience I it went from great to not so great. So now I only play my M41A1 Update: just took the Jumbo out and immediately got a full uptier against Germany
The Jerman Shumbo, I mean, the Sherman Jumbo, is one of my favorite lower tier heavy tanks of the US tech tree. I have both the tech tree and premium version, and I recall one match on the Eastern Europe map where we were losing and I whipped out the Cobra King and made a solo push into the enemy B cap, took out four or five enemies (plus main gunned an enemy aircraft) and won my team the game after they tried to push and camp our spawn. Another match I had was the Sands of Sinai map with the ruined structure at the top of the hill; a Skirmish match. I was rocking it with the M18 with four or five kills before I got gotted, and I tried to use my regular Shermans to no avail. Eventually I got my Jumbos out and tried to salvage the match with just two other people left versus a team of five or six enemies left. One of my self-proclaimed rivals were two players with the German KV-1 with the long-barreled 75 mm. I had such a hard time with those things even with APCR and a faster reload. At one point I sacrificed myself so that a Sherman Firefly could come up behind one of the KVs and end it. I mistakenly switched to a plane and we ended up losing, but it was a good match. Sherman Jumbo ftw
i just got the jumbo and it does struggle a lot, so much so i not only got trapshot by a kv-1 but also had arty kill me by hitting the front plate and its now the reason im never playing 5.7 us
the jumbo sherman came about cause the us army needed a heavily armored breakthrough tank but did not have any available and would not get the m26 pershing which was originally classified as a heavy tank till near the end of ww2
The only thing I dislike about playing ground is that when the enemy team gets CAS going all of them seem to be Mannfred Von Richtofen, whilst our own CAS is deaf and blind.
As a british main, i can tell you that sabot in fact does not trivialise jumbo fights, unless we literally have the high ground, the sabot will just shatter on the two angled plates. Most brit players will aim for the mantlet or use sabot's smaller hitbox to shoot the mg port
6:25 I've no idea why they stopped. They had to have known they were being targeted due to the missed shot, and then the cas player slamming the ground near them. That thing in particular is a surprisingly mobile thing, so they should've just made a run for the nearby buildings.
Oh the cobra king is fantastic, one of my favourite vehicles to play 100% (great in sim too). It’s the only vehicle I’ve ever got a nuke in whilst in a top uptier (and it wasn’t even my first spawn!), it’s just so unfathomably good
If you ever plan on doing another challenge video, here's a challenge you can throw in there at some point: Become an AC-130. Destroy 3 ground targets using the turrets of a bomber of your choice. You can do this across multiple matches if necessary.
Might just be me, because i just unlocked the Jumbo, but i think that's where the constant disadvantage USA Has on lower tiers kind of starts to dim, from having weak guns and bad armor to having good armor, to later get both good sides on about mid-tier 4
This is almost Churchill 8 gameplay. Churchill is a lot slower, has a mere 40mm gun which is good only for smoke rounds, tracks, and barrel. It's a little tankier but I doubt it's worth it. It's ironically the purest concept of a gaming-tank in Warthunder: it has 0 dps but debilitates you a lot. Most of the time I'm just soaking shells, and when I'm not I'm a sapper: I go where my teammates can't go just to disable the enemy and move on, leaving them confused on why I don't get the kill while my teammates following me finish them off. You won't get kills with the Churchill but on a good day (maybe uptier) you can really carry the team.
KV-1s with big turrets have a weakspot at each side that is ~30mm to expand the turret ring to fit the turret - it can be penned even if they angle slightly.
The jumbo is one of those tanks that is really hard to balance because it can't pen anything in an uptier, but at its BR nothing can pen it either. So it is really really insanely good in a downtier but useless in an uptier where the armour ceases to be good enough and the gun is totally useless.
To be fair, cat’s vision is like target locked binoculars. They see their target and the direct path to them perfectly, but not much else. The Germans are just role playing.

they marked faster i guess
Plot twist: is VoyegeR bombed him hahaha

The Jumbo is like bringing a knife to a gun fight, except you're in some armored power suit.
That is exactly summing it up
And you have a m2
That it's made out of concrete, But still weaker then Stalinium.
@@MM10567 Stalinium is a great material which in its pure form can only be found in Georgia
It’s like master chief when he is out of ammo
The fact the Jumbo is quite literally a stop gap tank makes peoples angry reactions to it even better.
Shermans are probably some of the most enjoyable tanks to play, let alone the jumbo. Jumbo my beloved
Wrong! Poopie armor but good gun double wrong! And two negatives equal a positive :3
Talking about the jumbo dude.@@gaiusadonusmaximusxiv9629
My biggest issue with it is being uptiered in it.
My biggest joy with it is being the uptier in it

You cab frontcpen is2s and t3485s turret right were the gun elivator hinges are
Right next to the mg
Spookston is best because he sounds so calm when he is really dying inside.
I’m gonna be honest, your experience with the jumbo’s armor is wildly different from mine. People usually go straight through the hull mg port.
Same dude. And panthers, tigers, russian 85s and 122s don't even need to do that, they go straight through ufp even if you angle.
You two have gotta play it differently, the angle only works on some tanks. As an American main, the jumbo is basically a tank I use to blow off steam after getting bullied in 8.3 (uptier hell) you can also always do the forbidden and just cover the Mg port
Also, try to angle around a corner where the armor is like 1000mm it’s very effective
@@UNPSC-0 even if you are lucky enough to get a cqb map, russian shells still go straight through ufp. The 85 doesn't care about angling.

The cobra king, blackcat and M36 make such a potent 5.7 lineup.
It's all fun and games until you come up to a German main who knows what he's doing
(Shoots mg port/aim for the side)
Mg port is rng AF
Volumetric made it even worse.
Watching a jumbo pick apart an enemy as efficiently as a crab factory will never get old.
The only thing I dislike about playing ground is that when the enemy team gets CAS going all of them seem to be Mannfred Von Richtofen, whilst our own CAS is deaf and blind.
Day 65 of asking Spookston to play the t-35
bro the T-35 has to many turrets and plus da armour is kinda bad
I had no idea about the real life "armour kit" for the shermans. Love the idea of someone seeing a destroyed Sherman and thinking: i could use this.
"hmm... well nobody's using it "
7:07 the plane in question: you called?
British mains realizing the grind gets worse the further they go and face things like this:
6:13 voyager and spookston in the same match. I'd be so lucky to have that match ngl
14:55 no ones gonna talk about his down the barrel shot?
As a british main, i can tell you that sabot in fact does not trivialise jumbo fights, unless we literally have the high ground, the sabot will just shatter on the two angled plates. Most brit players will aim for the mantlet or use sabot's smaller hitbox to shoot the mg port
6:46
Just voyager on the kill feed 👍🏻
And he got bombed by him
Don't forget that the kv 85 and 122 has only a 40mm plate just below the turret it is not add on armor 2:09
I never worry about jumbos because it's really easy to hit the mg port and their guns are always massively overtired.
Nobody’s talking about the coordinated fire alarm beep and panther kill at 12:43
*Dead Rising 2 crafting noises*
*M4A3 Expedient Armor Kit is made and applied to functional Sherman*
"Just like mom used to make."
Typically, most of the Jumbo tabks came afixed with the long 76, so if it feels like the one your useing is under poweree, then thats why
6:25
I've no idea why they stopped.
They had to have known they were being targeted due to the missed shot, and then the cas player slamming the ground near them.
That thing in particular is a surprisingly mobile thing, so they should've just made a run for the nearby buildings.
hold on, I know i'm a little late but I think that's Voyager at 5:53 activating the order and killing you at 7:08
7:05Foreshadowing for half a second
Everyone instinctively shoots the MG port. Effectively paper armor
WOAH WOAH WOAH 5:52 voyager activated an order?

It’s fun and games the jumbo thinks he’s invincible until the m-51 pen your front and kills you
The M4A3 Extra Armor Kit edit was my favorite joke the whole video
it’s scary because if you compare the jumbo to any other Sherman the jumbo just looks like it had a double chin with its fuck ton of armor
Oh the cobra king is fantastic, one of my favourite vehicles to play 100% (great in sim too). It’s the only vehicle I’ve ever got a nuke in whilst in a top uptier (and it wasn’t even my first spawn!), it’s just so unfathomably good

You won't get kills with the Churchill but on a good day (maybe uptier) you can really carry the team.
*laughs in tiger*(when used correctly and angled)
Fr lol
Can confirm, every time I see a Jumbo when driving my Tiger, I say “verdammt” and drive away
this video proves my humor is destroyed. "Oh, that things gets sabot doesn't it? Yeah, good thing we took that thing out" *ERRRRR*
KV-1s with big turrets have a weakspot at each side that is ~30mm to expand the turret ring to fit the turret - it can be penned even if they angle slightly.
