Then I checked the description of this video, lol
at 1:28, that t62 reticle, is there a mod for making reticles accurate and realistic? And can it be used in online public games? I always hated looking through the same ugly reticle for my entire playtime of the game. Games like squad and arma have spoiled me and made me want realistic reticles and tank optics for tanks..
Why do tanks like the T-62 and AMX-13 eject the spent shell casings while the Abram’s and other MBTs don’t? What are the advantages and disadvantages of it?
Abrams has disintegrating casing . Only the base plate remains intact after firing . They look like paper plates . This means there's really no need to eject the remains .
Some tanks hold the spent casings and get rid of them later, while the T-62, T-72, T-90, and AMX -13 just get rid of it there and then. It's mainly because these tanks have small interiors and can't waste space on empty casings.
The abrams casing burns up in the gun, leaving only the primer casing, modern russian tanks have automatic ejection, and older tanks usually kept the spent casings inside the tank
They don't make sense Lowering top tier Russia to 10.3 Making the reload on Leo 2a5 a6 slower bc they are perfoming good without any source Leo 1 goes to 7.3 T54 1949 goes to 7.3 they don't make sense
Interesting video idea: The role of a tank during or in city combat since a friend of mine and I had a discussion about tank city combat, their role and if they should be used at all in this scenario. Since we are German, and he is at the Bundeswehr his point is that tanks should never enter a city/urban area, my stand is that they should like in fallujah (2004) and that there is a reason why the TUSK-package for the M1 exists. What is your view on this subject, I am sure that you have way more Literature and knowledge on this topic.
The one thing that still pisses me off is the fsct that searchlights just dint exist at all in war thunder, theres plenty of tanks that had lights that could be used in nighttime battles like the crusaders
@@Nimori if it was standart HE warhead than probably yes, because 3.7 kg of TNT can pen 37 mm in direct hit (Jagdtiger 128 mm HE shell, same TNT equivalent) vs 30 mm roof.

I would actually love to see the Malyutkas amd the rangefinder on the T-62. ATGMs at thoes BRs are very fun to use but not a lot of vehicles have them unfortunately.
Spookston can you check out an insanely OP French bomber its tier one but I don’t remember the name it also carries odd bombs, which there are 52 of EDIT: it can climb much higher than other planes of its BR it can then dive and release all its bombs and then climbing back up so it can do the same making it extremely effective against airfields and bases
You mean F.222.2? i dont really see a reason for complaining about it, its got quite a lot of bombs but its slow and very vunerable to fighters if one attacks. i'd just say it'd be moved to 1.7 or 2.0 since the one with much better gunners sits at 2.3
Something I haven't seen you talk about is missile arming distance. Most of the time this wouldn't be a concern, but not every missile shot is at long range.
Wow, quite surprised about some of the tech they used on this tank. I always thought the T-62 was just a regular ol Russian tank. But a laser range finder and a remote missile, that's pretty neat.
It was pretty much just a more expensive Russian tank when it came out: if I remember right, the laser range finders were added roughly when the third generation NATO tanks started coming out, so the updates wouldn't really help the T-62 very much simply because of how big the gap in overall technology became.
woah , didnt know about those, still is a game , imagine playing german tanks on the panther or ferdinand and BOOM your tank caught fire out of nowhere
I want a Warthunder Game Mode called Historical Realistic Battles which consists of Spookstons Historically Accurate tanks and also tanks that never fought or couldve fought a certain tank dont fight tanks they never encountered IRL.
There were versions of T-55 with two Malyutkas on it also, so it's kinda logical... Those versions did not have a gun, tho...

@@illyrian44 the entire USSR was cringe, so its historically accurate
@@stalinapproved2762 username checks out
If the war thunder cv 33 was historically accurate
Due to his weak materials, the tracks can break apart randomly after a jump or a contact with walls (reports from the African campaign)
A flamethrower version of the tank is available, but it requires an extra trailer for the flammable liquids storage
The crew is very cramped, the air is insufficient and this decrease the crew efficiency minute after minute
A version with a 47 mm anti tank cannon is available, but only one can spawn in a match (prototype)
A version with an extra ab41 turret is available

That tumbnail is T-62 number 314. It is from Liberec (Czechoslovakia), during invasion of Warsawa pact in 1968. 2 people died in that accident.
The invasion doesn't sound like an accident
@@aleksihamalainen9229 Invasion was pretty bad thing. What i am talking about is this specific scene where tank is crashing to the house.

at 1:28, that t62 reticle, is there a mod for making reticles accurate and realistic? And can it be used in online public games? I always hated looking through the same ugly reticle for my entire playtime of the game. Games like squad and arma have spoiled me and made me want realistic reticles and tank optics for tanks..
Yes and yes
You can find it in war thunder something
the t62 is my favorite second gen mbt and one of my favorite tanks ever. it also appears in uncharted 2.
Imagine choosing the T-62 instead of the T-55 first
couldnt be me
T-62 engine overheats at higher temperatures.
Well, that’s what happens when you design a tank to operate in Siberia.
Why do tanks like the T-62 and AMX-13 eject the spent shell casings while the Abram’s and other MBTs don’t? What are the advantages and disadvantages of it?
Mainly because of the auto loader I believe
Abrams has disintegrating casing . Only the base plate remains intact after firing . They look like paper plates . This means there's really no need to eject the remains .
Some tanks hold the spent casings and get rid of them later, while the T-62, T-72, T-90, and AMX -13 just get rid of it there and then. It's mainly because these tanks have small interiors and can't waste space on empty casings.
The abrams casing burns up in the gun, leaving only the primer casing, modern russian tanks have automatic ejection, and older tanks usually kept the spent casings inside the tank
To save space. They aren't very roomy tanks, making it hard to store spent shells. This is part of why you see everything after T-62 use 2 piece ammo.
Not being able to slew the turret while pooping would actually be a big deal. Good luck on a follow up shot if your first isn't so hot.
After watching those videos I'm usually glad that WT is not fully historically accurate cause it would be so annoying to play some of those vehicles
Video interesting, music epic
Thank you Marty O’Donnel
Came for memes, stayed for Halo OST
If War Thunder developers were playing their own game.
By the way, the newest BR changes post does make some sense finally.
What are they?
They don't make sense
Lowering top tier Russia to 10.3
Making the reload on Leo 2a5 a6 slower bc they are perfoming good without any source
Leo 1 goes to 7.3
T54 1949 goes to 7.3 they don't make sense
Next one: "If Gaijin Entertainment was historically accurate"
you gotta make another video about the "actualized br changes" cus the "germany suffers" fits it even more
Should be noted that the loader should be randomly injured due to not having a turret basket. Having a skilled loader would prevent this lol
Thanks Spookston for amazing videos!

Now for if the F-80 A-5 was historically accurate
Thank you for this, great video and if anything it makes me wish for more realism and accuracy in War Thunder's offerings.
The one thing that still pisses me off is the fsct that searchlights just dint exist at all in war thunder, theres plenty of tanks that had lights that could be used in nighttime battles like the crusaders
delayed guidance on some missiles is a good idea
Huh... A tank without any transmission problems... Thats strange
I mean this is a T-54’s hull so not really surprise
You think you can find ways on fixing spawn camping and designating one video for it? And about spawns in general.
I like how the T-62 in vid has the white cross painted on it through the whole vid
I love the t62 and t72 this is nice
Notice, you can’t detonate the missile on top of the IT-1, but you can with the M3 Bradley’s TOW.
Russian bias confirmed
I doubt its armor can be breached by that anyway
@@stallfighter Check the top armor. It’s explosive power should most definitely penetrate it, from the launcher.
