Attempt number 3 at getting Spookston to play any tank with a dozer blade, but the catch is that he can’t engage enemies until he digs himself in. Movement around the map is allowed, however he has to dig in again before he can engage.
9:51 for the uninitiated (like me 5 minutes ago) BVVD is the username of Vyacheslav Bulannikov: WT's main produced and dev. His mother's references by Chinese players are because some Chinese tanks got nerfed (back when the Chinese IS-2's repair cost was higher than the Soviet one) and that caused Chinese players to say some rather unkind things to his mom.
Spookston having fun with the M60A2? This calls for a Sheridan revisit! The same gun on a light tank hull sounds very fun with absolutely zero possibility of extreme pain :)
It kinda suffers from being barely more mobile than this thing and having near zero armor and not great ammunition distribution. It's currently in my lineup with the M60A2 and the M3 bradley
Is it just me or does Spookston sound happier? Back in the day Spookstons voice sounded like he was tired all the time or even depressed. Now the way he speaks seems like he is happier and more cheerful.
Oh God the M60A2. This is... it must have been such a nightmare of a vehicle. Tried running it in the Atomic Heart event and GOD it just... it just didn't rub me the right way
Yeah for me the starship was a really fun tank during the atomic heart event for me, is 50cal did well against those pesky drones and I kept on oneshotting everthing
In my experience, it's either just pain incarnate or weirdly fun, there's no in between. It *can* be a good time, but it often just doesn't feel like it's worth it
12:5213:59 Tip for HE slingers like this one: remember you can trigger overpressure by landing your shell under the enemy tank. It's way easier to deal with tanks with flat or strong roofs (especially at close range or/and in flat terrain environments). I play the Bkan and I found this technique quite reliable against IS-6s and IS-3s.
@TastelessM-13 Definitely. Especially when they call you out for your position and being above them. It's almost always lower levels or level 100s. The in-between is so rare.
you should try the ARL-44 or the AMX M4 since both shares the same gun and same ammo PCO-50 (highly recommend to use AMX M4 since the upcoming br changes moves all the 5.7 panthers to 6.0 and its funny to pen through the UFP)
Good god, I remember spading the M60A2 a few years ago when I first started playing WT as an innocent novice WT player. It gave me my introduction to laser rangefinders and crippling depression thanks to how stupid Gaijin is at modeling HEAT and HE. But I did in fact acknowledge the pros and cons just like you did in this video! Good job! 💪
The bvvd in many Chinese players’ names is actually a meme in Chinese WT community. It refers to the manager of War Thunder now(bvvd is the abbreviation of his name). But basically Chinese players use it to refer to gaijin. And their ids are mostly cursing gaijin or just self-mockery😂😂😂. E.g. slave of gaijin
The whole chinese 8.0 linup is pretty damn op, you get stabilisers on t54’s with 240mm aphe and 390mm heat, paired with a laser rangefinder. And counting the premium too, you have practically 3 identical tanks. The type 69 being the best one
Gotta love when Gajin gives the premiums, event vehicles, and Russian vehicles clear and blaintant advantages that people will just tell you it is a skill issue for.
I mean all things considered, it wouldn't be fair to compare the M60A2 with a T14 Armata Because the M60A2 actually existed in army units, while the T14 exists mostly in vatnik's wet dreams.
You already know what I’m gonna say, Radkampfwagen, but I’m starting to wonder, is it worth it, will Spookston ever play it? It has been 80+ videos of asking, and my only question is, will he ever play it?
I've been asking for the Spj fm 43 44 for one hundred eighty four videos, I absolutely love it, but outside of a few likes, little has been done about it
I really like this thing, it honestly just looks cool. Plus its always hilarious that the Army's attempt to make a low profile turret somehow ended up with one that was *even taller*
another spookston video to enjoy, yahoo would be cool if you played the AMX-40 one day (attempt IDK to get you to play it).. or perhaps one of the OF-40s
Good to be early for another Spookston video always makes our days brighter! Love the look of the Patton tanks tbh and the M60 Starship has a special compact like look to it, too bad HEAT kinda sucks.
2:54 That's a smoke grenade being shot. They added that so if you MG one it basically only removes that specific smoke grenade. I have found that if you hit multiple at once it makes a smoke scren but that usually requires a shell with more explosive than kinetic power, or hitting a row which is much more difficult.
The Shlegahs (Yes, I call them that XD) are actually my go to on the starship. You generally have to aim up so they don't slam into the ground on launch. then drop your aim onto target, like Sppokston was doing. They're surprisingly good.
Video 119 of asking for T95. I love the M60A2, it and the AOS carried my US 8.0 grind. Missile nerfs were kinda tragic and its somewhat situational, but I think its still a fun niche vehicle for sure. Its hard to get the hand of the missiles but its not nearly as awful as TOWs are to use imho. Just aim a bit higher and compensate as the missile levels out (easier said than done but TOWs need to compensate 2 directions and the amount varies by range). Tbh their biggest issue is how ungodly slow they are
HE all the way. Also I found that any tank that has APHE killes Vader's reliably. And the T-34-85 is possible the best at doing it. IV been taking a full line up of T-34s to 8.0 and been doing really well with them constantly dropping 5 kills at least a game
14:40 "Felicitations malefactors, I am endeavoring to misappropriate the formulary for the preparation of affordable comestibles..." Now you can channel your inner goober to the fullest next time :3
day 1 of asking Spookston to play the object 906. The stabilizer and insane angle performance from its APCBC shell absolutely makes it a tank that you can get a nuke with
one reason why i am afraid of top tier is because i think i would be swarmed with ATGM's, but apparently my fears are unfounded because they are awful I love how the aircraft bombs you with almost pinpoint accuracy, but ground forces are apparently paid actors with how they are exposing themselves and walking into firing lines
@76trombones2 aircraft always have it easy when fighting tanks. Because tanks normally can't fight back. Kind of funny the mode is called ground and just turns into planes. Why not get rid of the planes and make a combined arms mode.
@8:48 is my biggest gripe with war thunder and it happens way too often. Line of sight shouldn't be that hard to get right in a video game yet here we are. Daily I'll be hidden behind cover just to find out that they could see me somehow. Ruins the game
M60A2 in War Thunder: Hey, is that a moving can? M60A2 in War Thunder Mobile: No way, I don't want to encounter this tank, but I want to use it. As a top-level War Thunder mobile player, I can confirm this. It is very good to throw ATGMs that can pierce every part of your enemy while he is moving, and his armor is also really good.
I actually enjoyed this tank in atomic thunder because it one shots the ball robot and BMPs. HEAT doesn't do much damage compared to APHE but it does decent damage against soft targets while being able to penetrate armor.
10:30 The internet realized it was funny to bomb Spookston, so the entire team collaborated to use their combined Air Power to bomb the ever loving shit out of him 🤣
Using that range finder at long range, it's one of my favorite tanks. It's epic. Dropping those rounds from above is almost always one shot kill. I've gotten two kills with one round before
The M60A2 does appear in comic adaptation of Team Yankee when the us cavalry is on the run from the Soviet hammer. We see one throw a track the crew evacs and Promptly scuttles it rather than wait for a recovery vehicle. Also day 2 of asking to play the hawker typhoon IIB for anti cas/CAS

He was actually depressed and tired from being burnt out and lack of motivation that's why.

idk M60 aos feels like the only viable option to grind abrams with

Thank you did not know that
I learned this by mistake actually early on when I first started playing haha 😂
1:38 must have been so fun to play. Being able to play along your teammates is one of the coolest things in this game. Sadly its pretty rare
I'd say pretty rare is an understatement. Most of the time I just get some guy who goes "Bad team" while in next to last place
In my experience I rarely get people like this. I like arguing with them, their arguments are hilarious
@TastelessM-13 Definitely. Especially when they call you out for your position and being above them. It's almost always lower levels or level 100s. The in-between is so rare.
