War Thunder has added another prototype light tank with the M551 (76) battlepass reward. This is, as you would assume, a Sheridan light tank with different main armament. It gets a stabilizer at the same BR as the King Tiger which makes it very interesting to play.

The Best American Light Tank - เกม
Hey guys, got a lot going on but it shouldn't affect videos. Just very tired recently. Starting dialysis soon. Let me know how you like the shorter intro for this video
Hope you feel better soon 🥺❤No worries man do what you need to
If you need to take some days off go ahead man, don't overwork yourself
Get well soon
Curse of the thunder
Yeowch, get well soon!
1:15 spookston was left absolutely baffled, befuddled, bemused, bewildered, confounded, lost, mazed and utterly perplexed at getting a non pen.
nonpenning the turret rear of an unangled and unmoving king tiger with a 300mm pen sabot round
@@Spookston yup non pen checks out according to gaijin. totally shouldn't have sent the turret to space or something😂
"Um excuse me what the acctual fu-"
its the most bamboozled sound he ever made 😂😂
@@SpookstonGaijin: iT's A feAtUre 🥴
Oddbawz: I hate this tank!
Spookston: I love this tank!
The duality of WT players.
how can you hate a fully stabilized light tank with apds at 6.7, unless you're the one facing it
@@irirjhrhr4645the vertical traverse is really bad, and bawz was getting a lot of hilly maps
@@irirjhrhr4645APDS and Solidshot in general are very iffy. I prefer APHE or a big HE.
I saw people saying this thing should be the same BR as the bulldog before it released
Spookston is just a gremlin
8:00 "why is his crew invisible" because you set him on fire and you need to remember NO ONE DIES IN WAR THUNDER AND PEOPLE THAT ARE ON FIRE DIE UNLIKE PEOPLE THAT TAKE A 150MM HE TO THE FOREHEAD THEY NEVER DIE
When haces tus momos em videos, el futuro es hoy oiste viejo?
Pero te terminan baneando ooooo mi lente de contacto djisbqlsjddkdjbd
Also I think it's a way to have the crew "fight" the fire (through implying they are not just sitting around in the fire) while not doing or animating anything
12:36 Notice how the sabot went through one crewman's neck and only turned him red-orange :)
put a thumb in it lol
Not only it didn't kill the guy, it also injured a crewmate behind him.
Either Sabots are useless or those tank members have a neck of Corey Taylor.
mf must be made out of Adamantium
That Tiger 2 at 1:13 was definitely a Skyrim guard in the past.
"hmmm, must have been the wind"
You know what else is light and the best? The ikv 72s and 103s! Day 44
😍😍😍
yes IKV 103 would be so fun to watch this gremlin play
Love the ikv 103 :D
yessssssssssssss the ikv 103 would be so fun to watch
Nuh uh, BT-42 is way better ;)
In this episode Spooks shoots directly at ammo and it does nothing half the time.
thanks. By the way its really nice seeing how your mood and or tone has changed throughout the years. You seem a lot happier or maybe more comfortable making videos. Im happy for you
Attempt 24: requesting Spookston to play one of the "Alternate" Top Tier tanks:
M48 Super
AMX 40
Now that you’ve played the best American light tank, can you play the “best” American heavy tank the M103? Attempt 8 btw
that thing scares me
@@connivingkhajiit23 kg of SOLID shot (best AP shell in the game)
I would love to see the M103
Peeking a corner and seeing a M103 staring at me and knowing theres nothing i can do to frontal pen him is my biggest nightmare,sure I should go for barrel shot but for some reason m103 barrel is made of star mass
@@sashingopaul3111the French 120mm guns fire the same exact AP shell as the M103.
11:35 its even worse with the german commanders, they call tank destroyers "luftabwehrstellung" (Anti-Air Gun)
I mean, the flak88 is an AA gun lmao
Want to see you play the Ikv 91 or 91-105. Both are incredible :D
I'm actually grinding the Ikv 91-105 right now.
Please don't give more attention to these cancer vehicles. The less people that play them, the better
@@KekusMagnus uh...don't worry buddy I'm DEFINITELY going to give them more attention now lmao
@@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933 once you get 91-105 8.7 becomes so fun. Definitely worth the grind:)
@@Tanks.With.Teeth.Malloy What's a good CAS option for 8.7 anyway?
Still waiting and asking for another day still to see Spookston play the AMX-10P AA because its such a gremlin
Love the unloved M47 Patton day 115!
you can see one of the problems with the APDS (penetration goes from 300mm at 0 degrees down to 84mm at 60 degrees) by comparing it to the HEAT-FS on the T92 (penetration goes from 254mm at 0 degrees down to 127mm at 60 degrees), which also explains why the APDS couldn't penetrate the T-54, although it's worth mentioning that the earliest 1947 variant has 120mm UFP (60 degrees) and LFP (54 degrees), unlike the later models that only have 100mm, although the APDS would have a hard time with the later models as well due to the angle of the armor.
Video 31 of asking Spookston to use the Chi-Ha with the 120MM short gun
Finally, someone else trying to get him to play it! I've been asking for over a year at this point lol
the 3 inch gun carrier is a perfect fit for you, really complements your play style......
alternate title : spookston gets gaslighted by sabot for almost 16 minutes
Spookston: Man, I really hate sabot
Also Spookston: [never even bothers trying a single round of solid shot]
crew goes invisible if a tank is on fire cuz it looks silly if they were just sitting in the fire
This version of the M551 has a lower ammo capacity than the regular 152mm variant…
Another glorious lunch watching Spookston and then subsequently asking him to do an M3 GMC video because is fun.
Bonus points for just being a good looking tank imo. I’ve always loved the Sheridan visually.
When i saw the title i was kinda worried this was gonna be another HSTV-L video😅
day 32 of asking for radkampfwagen 90
Gaijin: SABO rounds don't like angled armor.
shoots completely straight pieces of armor
*non pen*
Woooo, spookston video!
Day 182 of asking for T95
6:50 hey spookston, theres this cool thing when you hold J, it allows you to switch vehicles, thought id give some knowledge
10:44 I AM NOT CRAZY 10:56 I had that guy dead to rights
I think Spookston has been watching some better call saul lmao
Havent seen the video...good video keep up the work
If you haven't seen the video then what doesn't happen in it?
Hearing spook having fun is my favorite kind of video
12:02 I have no laughed louder at a spookston video than this moment and I don’t even care why.
Just got back from cruise and now I see 3 new spookston videos. This made my day
OMG I loved the Elite, "I've taken a grievous wound." Peak Spookston
Ur editing is great, i like this video.
Today i noticed Spook's in the GHPC special thanks and i actually said "Spookston!" in genuine surprise and excitement
Keeo on the good work
Spookston having fun is very nice to watch
So when the next major update does come out, any of the new & fun looking vehicles will be definitely be in a video.
T92: alright ima head out
T92 is still better in my opinion since it gets HEATFS and not the hyper inconsistent APDS plus it's smaller.
1:16 Spookston.exe has stopped working
You know he’s gonna nail the shot when he says “I can’t even see what that is”
Just found your channel about a week ago and I love it! love the chill vibes, could you do the type 74 next? would be cool to see.
Spookston light vehicle video. LETS GOOOOOOO
3:25 that T-32 team tried to kill steal lol
I love how Spookston is always like look at me i am so dumb whilst he outsmarts like 80% of the people he goes up against
As someone who mained britian, sabot would always either mutulate the tank or just non pen, and it gets less consistent the lower caliber it is.
Yay! Another video from my favorite wt cc 😊
14:03 bro really skeedaddled out of there
If i not wrong at 1:14 that tiger 2 is covered with zimmerit which is a forgotten classified information about that material can block incoming pen by add extra additional armor ( or whatever that is )
Still watching your videos Spookston, just haven’t tought about a vehicle for me to ask about and you to play, keep making videos! Watch them all
Spookston when he wastes time instead of j’ing out and then cant drop the nuke
The rubber ball sound effects gets me every time.
Hope you start feeling better soon!
The first game I got this Vic I brought it straight to 8.3(before it was moved up in br) and did pretty well. I still sometimes like to bring it to higher brs just for the laughs.
3:24 Got me XD Classic German Meme.
Great vid would love to see you play the amx-50 foch
10:52
Well you see Spookston. The commanders flesh provided a buffer dampening the impact against the ammo so when your sabot went clean through the commander and the ammo, it wasn't as hard due to the flesh softening the blow.
The short intro seems really good, if you want, you might as well keep it! As a suggestion of what to play next, maybe give the Chief Mk10 a try?
I wish you all the best and a quick recovery. Stay strong, tankdoggo.
At 13:00 im pretty sure if you destroy solid shot shells they don't explode but just take off from the ammo counter, honestly I'm impressed Gaijin didn't just make all ammo types explode asif they were APHE
1:40 omg that so many guys
As always, a cool video! Try the AMX-50 Foch, it seems to be very cool
Really enjoyed the video. Good luck with everything. I'll give you a pas on suggesting Churchills. This time.
13:55 skidaddle skidoodle make sure the smoke covers your bootle
Hope you feel better soon bro. You are best war thunder creator and are in our thoughts!
Spookston edging nukes
😂😂
Lovin' this....
Now I gotta add this baby to my 1/35 collection. Rest up.
Many thanx Spook! 👍👍
Hope you get better love your vids
12:03 I just realized that Spookston might really like the movie Zootopia
British 6.7 got uptiered to the stars because they were stabilized and had sabot access, this thing might end up the same way. The irony is that I had the same experience back then with those tanks: you often get the first shot due to the stab, but sabot often fails to deliver and can put you at a disadvantage despite having the first shot. Yet... A heavy tank like an IS or KT has no hope to outshoot a stabilized vehicle like this -- their only recourse is exactly that: hoping the incoming sabot fails and gives them a chance to respond.
It's pretty whack but not that surprising that it's coming in at such a low BR, especially considering how bad the 152mm version(which is *8.3* now!!) got hit by the missile ballistics changes. I don't doubt that the m551/76 is the more effective version between the two now, because the 152mm HEAT is oversized garbage and the shillelagh missile falls out of the gun and hits the ground half the time. Even the T92 which I've found is one of the best light tanks in a tree full of great light tanks, doesn't compare well without the stabilizer.
I hope this thing at least goes up to 7.3+. Something like this that is light, stabilized, and with access to high-penetration ammo will be a menace if it stays under-tiered. It also still has access to the 76mm APBC round, which has a much better balance of damage vs penetration compared to the sabot, though everyone seems to fixate on the sabot.
Spookston “look at all those planes up”
Me “👁️👁️😑 where ?”
Spookston you shall not escape the Black Prince, you WILL play it
Let’s gooo new spook post
The vertical traverse issues can easily be resolved by having your cursor near the reticle, it appears to kinda be a bug because if you go very far away from the reticle with your cursor, your stabilizer will just fight you
It is not a bug, it is design that way.
Stab in wt is most likely implemented as angle delta.
Line 1 cross the tip of barrel and axis of rotation. Line 2 cross the mouse cursor and the axis of rotation.
If delta is less than some value, the barrel axis will snap to the cursor axis in the calculation next cycle.
Otherwise, it will move at current turret traverse rate.
Then they loop until the delta is 0.
But that is not how stabilizer should behave. Irl Stabilizer will only move as fast as your drive mechanism can push (in wt, implemented as traverse angle per second). Irl Stabilizer also has minimum angle per second and error (not implemented in wt at all afaik).
Gayjiggle "fixed it" a while ago (like years ago). The implement the max traverse limit. So for some vehicle with very slow turret traverse and pretty good maneuverability (such as stb), you can out traverse your stabilizer. They trail it for a couple week, people complained, they revert the changes.
Yeah spookston now knows why we no longer make medium caliber cannons
Hey spookston I'd love to see you play the lekpzm41 it's the german bulldog but with heatfs ( if I remember the non gerpan bulldog doesn't have those) and it's really fun to play albeit a bit frustrating
I think you’d like the AMX-30B2 series, they’re basically just fast, light vehicles with pretty good guns and thermals at 8.7, plus a 20mm coax is always nice.
Yeah about the vertical targeting speed... I was playing the T-72M1 in the Swedish tree while grinding the event and it literally has 2.5deg/s vertical traverse WITH the elevation mod installed (not factoring in crew skill though.) I do vividly remember dying several times on relatively flat urban maps after running over small bumps and mounds of rubble, only for the gun to go wildly off target and then die to something with useable gun handling characteristics. I do feel like Odd was overblowing the M551/76 a bit considering it's literally better than a T-72 in that regard. Also I have no idea how this is balanced at 6.7, especially as someone who played the stabilized British tanks with APDS when they were still 6.3-7.0ish. I do enjoy the amount of nostalgia this brings me though.
Trust me, no one is harping on enough about the out of this world physics on APDS
I would think that playing the Challenger Black Knight might be a good idea next video
hey boss, i'm curious to see you try out the M46/M47; i recently got my hands on them and they're complete monsters with their HEAT-FS and insane mobility (for mediums at their BR ranges)
in my experience, the cromwell v is very OP if used correctly. i’ve ranked upwards of 18 rounds from all directions and still came out on top
Nice as always spookston first and love ur channel!
As much as I drive the M41A1 for comedy, this thing's probably up my alley.
24th attempt to ask spook to play the t34-85(d5t)
You will love the SARC MkVI (6pdr) its so gooooood i cant stop smyiling(forgot how to type it but :) while playing it
I recommend the TAM, absolute sniping beast in downtiers with LRF and APFSDS; gotten lots of nukes with it.
This footage makes me regret ignoring the battlepass this season
You should try playing the Rattle 20, it’s a fun tank and has guided missiles at 6.7. It’s not the fastest wheeled vehicle but is pretty fun.
Panther A APCR only would be interesting to see
11:29 ngl i was also really confused when my commander called the enemy Ferdidand a SAM. that is definitely not a surface to air missile
well played.
This thing makes me want the historical turret traverse back for the M41A1.
Seeing the spookston having a grudge with the Brazilian guy was funny as heck
open top tanks that are on fire have their crew dissapear
Gaijin modeling sabot: "I am going to make a round that is so toxic"
7:45 the leKPz M41 is .3 BR higher than the american bulldog because it has heat. I also don't often use the HEAT on my leKPz M41 because the sabot is just better
I still think it’d be funny to see you play the Churchill crocodile
Man, I wish I could have gotten this one, but I just don't have it in me to grind out when a very good game for me is more than 4 kills or so
