I'm not known for liking British vehicles that much, but the unique Excelsior heavy tank as very enjoyable. It's comparable to the Jumbo or Tiger, with very good armor and decent mobility. It still has to deal with solid shot, but it is very good.

Hm, second vid you did with him.. dam, or did you do more? Idk ik only abt one and that was the TOG II vid.
Attempt #39: Avenge from CAS and play the Shturm-S as a SAM
@@Rohokcom there are several yes
Play the Panther but you have to be constantly zoomed in using binos or gun sight: simulate the average German main experience
Don't forget smoking teammates and not being able to destroy 75/76 Jumbos
Oh and commenting how tiger's are the best tank's every 2 seconds. Gonna need that realism.
and no minimap or chat messages
disable HUD like that phly or odd video

It sounded like OddBawz was in the middle of asking if Gaijin ever play Britain just before you got flatpanzered. If memory serves correct there was a discussion a few years ago that revealed that out of the hundred or so employees at Gaijin, less than a dozen actually play the game and they only play USSR, USA, and Germany in Arcade.
The don't play their own game? That's honestly not surprisingly. Guess that explains why they don't understand how the solid shot is just bad and wildly unrealistic to its IRL counterpart.
This explains a lot
0:38 same, after spending probably ~36 million SL on the loot crates over the last 2 years, last week I finally got...A13 Mk. II (1939) :/
I spend like one million and got some usa ship that is 6.0 uss phelps or whatever it name was, i wish i would play ships
ive gotten nothing i get happy when i got %20
That sounds like a gambling problem
My friend opened like 6 mil sl worth and he got the tog 2
:( a tech tree vehicle to boot.
I always saw it as like a weird amalgamation of a churchill and a cromwell
A churwell or a cromchill
True
That is literally what it is.
Churchom
@@mhplayer cromchill 100%
You should play the M42 Contracero in the Italian tech tree, it absolutely shreds.
DUDE YES
People just be making up names for Italian vehicles at this point
@@pastadarasta8131 it's literally ''M42 Antiaircraft" in Italian
@@pastadarasta8131 I didn’t make anything up, that’s its actual name.
@@CT-ww7yi lol might wanna double check that
Jolly good show, old chap. Absolutely spiffing.
My golly thats his majesty’s english!
Right proper tank this excelsior is!
Bloody good show init ?
CA Lorraine?? Great firepower, insanely speedy case mate which can drift around corners.
Yooo, Solid shot Spookston is back. Load up your muskets boys
The boxes got me nothing im bankrupt
i used the christmas event boxes from a year ago to explain to my younger cousin why gambling is a bad idea.
burned through a couple thousand of my SL to show him that all you can expect to get are the lowest grade rewards listed.
Sorry for you, I didnt get as bad of luck with them this time I actually got a Su-76M LMFAO its a 2.0 and sells for like 12GJN as of now that's what people offer but I actually got something but did waste around 1 million SL on the boxes and oh i got a decal also and all for the price of wasting my life playing WT.
Thats all Gaijin wants is your soul just give in to the darkside. You will get no sleep and be REAL unhealthy and serious back problems and lack of friends and possibly could turn into a basement troll after a dedicated amount of time....😋
But hey I got a BR 2.0 premium Russian open topped tank destoyer FML don't waste your life the boxes are not really at all worth it I really wish I didn't play this game for over a decade nothing real good has come from it. Maybe a few buddies here and there but they usually end up leaving the game or leave and come back years later.
Gaijin did NOT helped me with my gambling addiction
Starting my WT tank experience with the British tree was both torturous and educational, in that having mostly mid guns and trash ammo combined with reverse gears that could generously be described as "not the quickest" taught me a deep fear of overextending and a love for safe firing positions and armor angling that would keep me alive longer
Not that I recommend it as a starting tree, unless you're looking to really get into the head of a deeply depressed and cynical British tanker, in which case you've come to the right place
Conqueror vid sometime? I know it's been done in the past, but I don't know if I've seen one since the last few major patches. It's... well, it's not good, but it does have a special place in my heart for some reason. Maybe its just that it embodied the disappointment and depression of the whole tree well for me when I first got to it
They aren’t all hellish tanks… but i do agree i have learned some *interesting* habits from having trash reverse speeds
@wtdoober there's some gold hidden in the tree, no doubt, the gun carrier and archer are slept-on low-tier killers (also the archer is just so funny to play) and the concept 3 singlehandedly turned me into the light tank and scouting fanatic that I am. But lord almighty does the lack of reverse speed and the prevalence of solid shot and darts over aphe or other favored rounds make it a brutal learning curve for a new player. Switching over to Germany and especially Sweden after hitting the top tiers of Britain I felt like a god of battle with how much less effort it took to get kills on most other tanks. Still do love my British battle busses from time to time, though, they'll always have a place in my heart
From my own limited experience, British tanks are less bad than they are *extreme* (though some certainly are bad as well). On the old armor/firepower/mobility triangle, British vehicles tend to be extremely good at one and absolutely terrible at the other two. And even going beyond that abstraction they tend to be built around extremely niche playstyles that can be pretty weird compared to the playstyles of other nation's tanks and which may not be possible in every match. As a result they're... Inconsistent to say the least. And even when they're effective, using solid shot just isn't as much fun as nuking someone with an APHE shell and seeing their turret fly off into space.
I understand the conquer, it's still one of my favorite tanks just because how tanky it is most the of the time, I just the pre apds "buff" it used to one shot everything no matter where I shit, now it just feels like I'm throwing a 9mm projectile at the tank that magically bounces on everything
At least with the centurions you can snipe over hills really nicely with the massive gun depression and strong turret armour
I love how even if they trippled the shrapnel count and overall damage value for solid shot it would still come no where near the U.S 76 and 75mm APHE in terms of post pen damage.
because APHE is broken, shell momentum doesn't transfer to the shrapnel. It should make a cone, not a sphere.
also APHE produces way more shrapnel than it should.
I would love to see you play either the Conqueror or M103 heavy tanks. These are two of my favorite tanks irl. I'd love to see you play them. The Conqueror especially, as I haven't seen it on youtube much.
Anyone remember the Conqueror video that was supposed to happen?
Pepperidge Farms remembers.
It may happen this week.
Lmao oddbawz "don't come near my son, ever again" had me fuckin rolling! 😂😂😂
the intonation on Odd's "that was definitely a game that happened, dude" XDD man, I can feel that deep in my bones
something so sweet about Odds trying to protect Spookston from getting cas'ed
Sometimes I only hear the audio and I imagine the most probable image that would pop up as a funny gag, and when I actually pay attention to the video I watch it again and I find it absolutely hilarious I get most of my guesses right, keep making these vids, so nice 😂!
Spookston waking up is surprisingly matched to how he plays
You know what they say about first impressions.
The Excelsior is the unavailable tank I want more than any other. I love everything about it’s look and how it seems to machined from a solid block of armor.
Thanks for playing it Spookston. And thanks to Odd for riding shotgun.
The excelsior actually does excel at something. The challenger is challenged and the centurion is just sad
11:13 Odd not wanting to hurt Spook's feelings 😂
30th day on my journey to try and convince Spookston to play the Radkampfwagen 90
It is one of the best wheeled tanks in the game
day 97 of definetely not begging spooks for the pantsir or whatever
day 132 of begging for m8 hmc video lmao (u gon be me soon)
i definetely know spook would water his mouth after finding out about surface to air missiles and stupidly good guns mixed with russian bias stalinium windows
We need to get this man to do the pantsir
Fr pantsir vid would ne dope
Would love to see a video on the M43 75/46 please
Affirmative!
No clue where I read something about the Excelsior but I've been thinking about it for a few days and here you are with a video
It's nice to see you guys playing together with an actual lineup
Has been watching you from like ~3 years ago , seeing you going from sounding like you almost dead every vids to having actual emotions and edit kinda make me happy. What make me happier is could you play the T10M ? Thank you spooky for being my inspiration to play this god awful game
Oi, my Pookie is playing Britain ay? I'm so proud of you bruv!!!
I’m British and what you just typed and posted in this comment section is humanity’s greatest crime.
@@thatonelocalauthority2809 not as big of a crime as the gen0c1d3s your “””people””” committed against the celts and many other colonized cultures around the world - pay reparations
Nuh uh my ancient relics now
Lmao, Jerome with the metal chair. I love that picture so much. Caught me so off guard since I never see people use it.
wahoo spookston upload 🎉
Love how the solid shot ONLY seems to spall when shooting at German tanks xD
Small bit of justice, that 🙃
A fully camoflaged Sturmtiger Gameplay please, Month 5?
I love when Spook plays with Odd because it fulfills my dream as an air RB player to just play counter-CAS whenever Spook is on the ground
Every time I try to play CAP what inevitably happens is I see nobody until I'm in the middle of a turn and slow and suddenly an entire squadron is taking shots at me
i like how the cas still haunts you even when on a plane, and the cartwheel crash as well
Looks like a mini Tog 2.
The slow pan and zoom at the 70/Lang coming around the corner was magnefique.
Holy moly 😮
Cool vid btw keep it up!
I like the long content with odd, you two are funny together
asking spookston to play the french amx 13-m24 day i forgot
Mediocrior should be called if it were by the building process choices like the cromwell (italian tank building method intensifies), so if it gets hilt by a handgun caliber bullet, it just disasembles itself with the pieces left intact ready to be assembled again like a lego set. The design it was not that bad (in paper) but the issue is that is based on the cromwell, so its like if a carpenter barely managed to make a wooden chair, as soon someone sits on it it just crumbles down by the extra weight put on it.
Silence Cromwell hater
@@zorlockthewarlock5961 Shut up riveter, i'm siding with welders cause their work is way better in building tanks.
Love seeing oddbawz in your videos, you guys make a great duo for content!
I think it’d be interesting to see Spookston play the Semovente 90/53 M41M from Italy.
It's Day 150 of asking Spook to play the Semovente 75/46 M43.
I will never surrender, NEVER!
Rare tank
(Edit) Pls ply the radkampfwagen 90
Medium rare tank
YES! MOAR SPOOKSTON AND ODDBAWZ! You two are hilarious together!
Despite me being dumb at identifying tanks, and him being a master at it, I somehow managed to realize, he called an m5a1, a stuart.
your videos always entertain my ass off, thanks for making these nutz
You are getting better at CAS keep it up.
I got to see this thing IRL at the tank museum (didn’t even realise what it was at first) and it was super cool
You and Odd have good chemistry together both on the battlefield and with your clever witticisms.
Need more oddbawz x) what a legend. Love you guys when you duo.
Seeing spookston non-pen an ostwind with Solid shot made remember when I non-pen'd an ostwind 2 with an apfsds from a MBT-70
I got that thing from a dragon crate about a week ago and I absolutely love it
Got this from a crate during an event once. Was quite sad that it wasn't the coupon variant so I couldn't sell it but It's something.
im very sick rn but a good spookston and odd vid helps! lol
I’d love to see you play the breda 501. It’s fun to play it because of the speed and the 90mm gun.
Immediate banger vid when you two collab!
YAAAAAY MORE ODDBAWZ AND SPOOKSTON!
i mean id love to see an AEC MK II video now with you talking about rare british vehicles
Hey Spookston! Loved the video, and I wish I got this funny tank out of the SL crates, but I got something thats pretty rare from them. The Tandem MAI, you should play it for a vid!
Opened I think like 30ish boxes and got that 4.3 French 155mm tank, I'm so happy about that
The odd bawz cameo jumpscare was a surprise, a good one tho
Gotta love the odd and spook combo its like scorpion and sub zero
Rare footage of spookston playing CAS
I recently got the Excelsior and it is quite devastating, using it along with the Spitfire to complete the latest pages of history challenge
a spookston and oddbawz video? well its not my birthday just yet but ill take it as an early gift
That thing is a beast. Would love to see you play the FIAT 6614, the little cybertruck devil.
Eepy Spookston
Man you gotta try the Type 60 SPRG. Double recoiless rifle, fast small gremlin chassis and 20 deg of gun depression.
I love that Ystervark. It's like a bulldozer given a flatbed and a 20mm AC on it. That is so cool.
I got the Excelsior about a week ago from one of those Dragon SL boxes, sold it, and bought the C2a1, still think selling it was a better decision, could be wrong though, looked like you had a decent time with it.
Love the video and the collabs with Odd :)
If you compare fun factor between the Excel and C2A1 , Excel will be better
I'm glad two of the most prominent WT content creators on the planet acknowledge things I notice and it's not just me:
- Solid shot seems to get less and less consistent with every update
- It's incredibly frustrating trying to figure out which rocks are modelled and which aren't since they started adding them (Karelia is the worst, but not the only map)
- Audio gets worse and worse each update
- The M42 Duster is broken and has been for years (crew don't die and it's almost impossible to ammo rack it)
Thank for these Sunday videos. Request- vid trying arcade
I love the halo refrence at 5:04! it fits perfectly XD
For a moment I thought for once there will be no CAS bombing but I was wholly mistaken.
And unsurprisingly enough it was an American plane.
Yayyyyy new video
Spookston and not taking enough ammo
Name a more iconic combo
I love heavy tanks and I had some fun with this vehicle in World of Tanks. I really hope they make it available again in WT.
I consistently love how spookston hates cas so much that he has turned the noise of his plane guns off
3:28 i have never recoiled this badly watching two x ray previews jfc
i love watching ur vids❤
Actually love how 2 of my favorite WT players play together
used the t-34-57 and ended up surviving multiple shots by two M6A1's by multiple im pretty sure around four shots per tank. so 8 shots total survived, then got pen on side by an M6A1 so yeah
I love how on the roadmap they mentioned reworking aphe when we just want everything else to be more consistent and them to acknowledge that the post pen damage isn't that different between the two
I've been wanting an Excelsior forever!
the ostwind moment is basicly my time playing war thunder every day
Yeah Swedish 2.3 experience currently. Ironically all the heavy lifting is being done by my 1.7 recoilless (I fully expect the Spj fm/43-44 to be severely uptiered to nearly useless next rebalance given it actually performs reliably into 3-4) unless I catch the enemy from right behind with the Lago and even then I've had NPs on weakpoints. I'd cry if it wasn't so normal.
I'm sure the shot just quantum tunneled through that KV-1's driver.
A heavy version of the Cromwell
Hey Spookston, could you play the type 60 sprg? It's pretty low profile TD with two recoiless rifle and i think you should play with hesh for a little challenge. Thanks for the consistency on pumping videos out!
i got the excelsior from the dragon crates after buying like 8 of them or something, i was getting people asking me in matches how did i get it and whatever, had no idea it was rare
Man was so out of it he forgot he had a surprise guest
I never thought I would see a reference to Jerome's chair-fight with the flood in WAR THUNDER.
I originally chose Britain and france as my main. Then after getting to like 4.0 on both i tried the American tec tree. Wow, it turns out this game is just a lot harder when you don’t have APHE.
The game used to be playable at one point with AP shells.
But Gajin went "We know how this works." Then decided to completely make the shell performance unrealistic while also making APHE shell perform highly unrealistic but in a good way.
I main Britain too play on hard mode
Spookston, its been 110 videos
Where super pershing
Mr. Spookston, you should play the Chieftain (any variant(s) of your choice including the Khalid)
attempt #39
12:11 bro's yappin like an adult from a Charlie Brown special.
