The issue with IRST locking may be due to your keybind; Anything that requires multiple keys, with one of them being ALT tends to fail often since it will make you go into the cursor mode instead of whatever action you intended. Spamming with a 1-Key bind that doesnt require ALT to be pressed has fixed a similar issue I had previously and might also work to resolve this one. Even if the IRST Icon displays in HUD, it tends to simply not register properly due to ALT forcing free-cursor mode. Edit: Since I've seen some confusion regarding it, I'll give some more details, correct some previous errors and explain and why rebinding *should* fix the issue: - How does the [ALT + F] interfere with IRST-LockOn/Tracking? ALT does NOT PREVENT the intended action, it just takes priority in selection. This is relevant here, since the 'Free-Cursor-Mode" [ALT] has priority over the actual intended bind [+ F] , meaning that it will often go into Free-Cursor-Mode first and then follow up with the IRST-Tracking action. Going into Free-Cursor-Mode forces your aim-reticle position to be locked at its current position. Therefore the IRST-Lock on will be applied to an outdated position of your reticle. In other words; your lock-on "input" is set to an outdated position and therefore fails to track, as the target you want to track is now at a different position. - Why does it still work sometimes? It works when the outdated position of your reticle is still close enough to the target you wanted to lock onto, hence why it's significantly easier to track targets approaching you directly and significantly harder to track targets with a (from your pov) horizontal & vertical movement. Also rememeber, this is WT so its not guaranteed that you'll get lock-on even with perfect aim, things just don't always work but ig we're used to that already(?) - Why does a different Keybind fix it? Please remember, the issue is not the double-keybind itself but rather ALT being in it. By using a one-key bind or a double-keybind (w/o ALT, Shift or CTRL) you prevent the game from overwriting with a different action and therefore solely input a IRST-Lock on, allowing you to spam it aswell as keep your reticle-position updated. - I still cant lock on It does NOT work in Commander Sight or Third Person Camera. I don't know if I need to explain this, but IRST does not go through terrain, therefore certain hitboxes may interfere with locking on (ground-terrain, trees, walls etc.) Also as I said, this is WarThunder so things working consistenly is just not gonna happen.
I was gonna say the exact same thing. Ever since binding my tracking to Q it has made it a lot better, granted it d9esnt fix a lot of tracking issues but it does help. I got way more consistent locks than spooky boi did. Glad you said something cause I thought I was crazy lol
Also you can see an instance where spooks drove out of cover and locked onto a chopper, when it got a lock he drove back to cover and the IRST lost the lock. It seems gaijin added the IRST to the hull instead of the turret
70%? Buddy the 2S38 has like 6-7 times the ammo, can fire much faster and has almost the same pen at the trade off of worse mobility, it is MUCH stronger than the HSTV-L, as Spookston said it either needs more buffs or just more variants added
@@crystalbirthdays The snail saw, He disguised it to look like a tear of sadness by saying some half-hearted complaint about the APFSDS. And then the snail broke the IRST, juuuuust in case.
About 2:10, for some ungodly reason, planes with variable geometry wings are treated as having them fully extended at all times when it comes to terrain collision, meaning you can't actually get as low as you'd think
fun fact, with the new sight setting, if you use one of the sights that have the rangefinder feature, it instantly range finds, so u can bind a key thats both assigned too fire and range find and hit some pretty silly shots (only works with lazer rangefinders)
I think the irst issue may be caused by the tacking being tied to the hull of the vehicle not the sights, i.e. when your hull can’t see the plane you can’t track it (watch at 11:24 and you see the tank loose track after the hull goes behind the rock and loses line of site from the heli), probably yet another instance of programming genius from the warthunder dev team. lol
There is also the possibility of keybinds being the problem (as pointed out by others), but I use the same ones and my game is fine so I don’t know for sure on that point.
thats what I thought exactly. Looks like the obstacle is blocking the view, its exact same effect as with spaas, dropping target out of sight after a few seconds.
I've noticed it too on some other vehicles with IRST when targeting low flying planes/heli. I think you're right especially after going back through the video to see the times when it does and does not lock.
Attempt 59 Challenge: For high tier support a nations MBT with its respective APC/IFV counterpart (ie Abrams/Bradley, T90/BMP2M, etc.) Challenge is keeping the other player alive and supporting it without stealing kills (breaking barrels, tracking, repairing, etc) it being a random should help make it interesting.

Gaijin needs to rework APFSDS damage. I don't even play top tier and I can see why their current system sucks. For context, Gaijin basically groups all APFSDS fired from a cannon with a caliber of 25 to 76 mm under the same post-pen damage preset. This is completely stupid for just one single reason: cannon caliber and the actual projectile caliber are completely different with sub-caliber projectiles. Just as an example, the XM-885 of the HSTV-L has, in game, a projectile diameter of 26 mm. The 120 mm DM53 round of the RH120 cannon has a projectile diameter of 23 mm. I don't think i need to point out much more on why cannon caliber alone is not sufficient for APFSDS damage presets.
Why would gaijin ever improve damage lol. The whole point of their reworks is to make every single shell inconsistent, just to fuck with player and frustrate him. More frustrated player is, more likely he's willing to buy some OP premium pack

It's severely under BR'd. It's a beast. The add on composite armor can survive 3BM42 in most places. The tank is roughly equal to a T-64B, yet it's at 9.0 (the T-64B is 9.7).

In my experience IRST in general can be very tempermental at times. Depending on weather conditions you can occasionally even get battles where IRST is completely non-functional for the duration of the battle. (Most of my experience with IRST has been from playing the Ozelot, the 2S38, and the ADATS.)

If you are feeling extra funny do the Grant 1 and M3 Lee load out (Get someone else to play the Grant or Lee too with you) 4. And if you get bored, torture yourself by putting the Bradley’s on the same load out as the first one and trying to see how well you do

That chopper you took the tail off of at the 8 minute mark was a Ka-50. Blowing off the tail isn’t the kill shot that it is on most choppers because there’s no rotor back there due to it being a coaxial rotor design

Day 3 of asking Spookston to play the American M3 Load out;
1. Put the, M3 Lee, M3 Stuart, M3 GMC, M3A3 Stuart, M3A1 USMC, on one load out.
2. you get one life with each tank per round.
3. If you are feeling extra funny do the Grant 1 and M3 Lee load out (Get someone else to play the Grant or Lee too with you)
4. And if you get bored, torture yourself by putting the Bradley’s on the same load out as the first one and trying to see how well you do
HSTV-L + Anti-CAS = Happy Spookston noise
Hey Spookstoon, just wanna say thanks for making your content, and that I really enjoy watching it (It's kind of what keeps me coming back to war thunder at this point).
Is premium time any good?
That IRST is such a snail move, goodness me.
your IRST keybind being the same as the cursor keybind is giving me exceptional anxiety
this man's keybinds aggravate me immensely
2:00
Spookston’s on his villain arc
Welcome to the CAS club
Spookston not realizing it's the rocks and the terrain preventing his IRST is hilarious
I’ve been waiting for this vid 😮💨
Rare footage of Spookston having fun at top tier.
Spookston Villan Arc in full swing
1:10 "Fine, I'll do it myself."
“That guy has pillows on his turret” I’m sorry, what? I seriously didn’t know you had pillows
Halo may be dead, but it lives in my heart.
Keep making the references, I'll get em
I love how i get a War Thunder ad promoting the planes in the game on this video
2:15 it's because damage model doesnt take the fact that wings are folded. Game see the plane with unfolded wings at all times
everytime he says KILL! when he shoots i just imagine a wizard casting spells lmao
I absolutely love the proxy on this rat
Month 11 of asking Spookston to experience peak British APDS, in the form of the Conway
Spookston slowly realizing they saw his super prepped "penetration on the round" essay and "mucho texto'd" it, he should have added a tldr 😂
Attempt 13 at trying to get spookston to play the 75 jumbo
this seemed like the only video Spookston didn't die to CAS
Spookston seeing a low Br tank in a match: "Sorry, no fun allowed."
Also in a match, CAS sees Spookston: "Sorry, no fun allowed."
A comunidade de war thunder do brasil te ama Spook ❤❤
I was waiting for someone to make a video on this
1:30 did u remember maintenance?
Now, listen Spookston, it might be an intrusive thought, but... Classified Documents.
Bro won a top tier game against germany sweden and USSR respect
Never stop the Halo references Spookston they're the best
6:35 that was *cathartic*
2:11 : Fun Gaijijn fact, swept wings are purely visual IIRC (Save for obviously affecting the flight model I mean)
The HSTVL is such a goofball, I find it funny that the cannon is as long as the tank.
Best day in Spook’s life
Hey, Spookston, the Spikes recently got a slight adjustment to it's impact angle, so I (surprisingly) had fun playing the Vilkas recently. I believe the Vilkas or the new Puma is worth trying
It’s honestly insane it takes them to add this sort of stuff to vehicles that should already have it.
2:11 VG wings in game have collision models of wings fully extended no matter your swip angle settings. So keep that in mind and be careful
That chopper you took the tail off of at the 8 minute mark was a Ka-50. Blowing off the tail isn’t the kill shot that it is on most choppers because there’s no rotor back there due to it being a coaxial rotor design
Babe wake up. Another Spookston HSTV-L video dropped 🔥🔥
