Spookston, would you please consider playing the StuH 42 G? It’s a StuG iii G with a 105mm howitzer at 3.0 that fires APHE with almost 305 grams TNT equivalent. It also gets a HEAT shell with 115mm of pen. It would make my day if you played this. Thank you!
@@DanySdowoand his crashout led to folks didn't want to buy it, I ain't glazing spook, but if he's ain't saying anything, people wouldn't know what true spec of RDF and would buy the pack like no tomorrow
Bro hasn't crashed out enough. The RDF/LT still needs its add on armor and smoke charges, and both the RDF and HSTV-L need XM885 buffed and hopefully getting their Delta-6 rounds.
@@shatteredteethofgod If it is just a sound effect then tell me friend, why doesn't it fit in that exact second? I belive nothing funny happened then. Nobody got shot, nothing exploded and I don't think so the non-furry furry man put it there by accident.
Well they only listened since he's so influential....and the money making new premium they added was t making money so it was a win win for them to do this
fun fact, the guy in the turret is the commander, not the gunner so he doesn't get replaced when he dies.. so if you're missing a crew member this thing gets a crewless turret (can be seen in the vid at 1:49)
Which makes it unkillable in hull down, unlike the 2S38 which has ammo in the turret (on the right) and has no gun depression...so much for these tanks being bad.
since you said the ratel 90 wasn't bad, you should play the objectively awful ratel version; the ratel 20. it has the same bad mobility as the 90, but with the same weapons as the marder IFV, which doesn't sound bad at first, until you realise you're expected to fight king tigers and jumbo pershings with 7 slow moving ATGMs and an autocannon that can't even pen a panther's side (day 30)
Personally I have a great time with the Ratel 20. At 6.7 most folks aren't paying attention for ATGM for one. For two you can shoot completely from behind cover. Lastly way better vs planes.
@@MajorLeagueTenacity Yeah you can definitely make the Rattel 20 work to good effect with its ATGMs and get to the top or near the top of the leaderboard. But you are still the biggest and juiciest target for air.
Whether the RDF-LT is good is still up for debate, but you know what is certainly good? The amx-50 Foch! With 180mm of angled frontal armor, an amazing gun, and decent mobility, it's basically a french tutel, but even better
Boy howdy I sure do love when Gaijin puts their love and attention into making sure their game is accurately sourced with reliable information in order to create realistic vehicle models for an outstanding gaming experience. (They do not, in fact, put their love and attention into making sure their game is accurately sourced with reliable information in order to create realistic vehicle models for an outstanding gaming experiences.)
Gaijin modeling Russian vehicles: can only be modeled incorrectly for balance’s sake or a game engine limitation Gaijin for every other nation (especially NATO): “accepted” for months or years with no fix
HEATFS is kinda shit. and the lack of a turret holds it back too. just play the RU-251 if you have it. its infinitely better as a light tank with HEATFS
Video (13) of asking spookston to do a randomized challenge. Essentially a wheel decides almost everything. List of wheels: -A wheel that decides the nation. -a wheel that decides how many vehicles (1-3). -A wheel that decides the BR. (Maybe like a 1-2 br leniency) -A wheel that decides what vehicles (air or ground). Either reroll before every match or just do it once, your choice. (If you would like me to make the wheels to save you the suffering of making them I would gladly do that.)
Wait I just realized 2:11 his gunner in the turret is gone, and both the crew members in the hull are alive but he can still aim the gun? Was that a real feature the RDF-LT had or is that a bug
3:00 It actually sounds *very* familiar, but it is different. It has nearly identical start, but in Strognhold, there is no (for lack of better word)'whipping' sound at the end
8:45 this happened to me, so I had to check and apparently the 2A7, and all the STRV 122s had a 100mm of composite armor on the sides sandwiched between the 25mm and 35mm plates
Those oblique side shots on those leopards were failing because you were constantly hitting the dead track which was absorbing most of the energy of the shot. You could literally see the dead, blackened track pop up on the penetration cam over and over, eating those rounds like spaced armor.
The fact that you mentioned the stronghold archers when i thought the same thing is crazy. Ive never heard anyone past my family talk about, or even mention those games
Gaijin will always confuse me with how inconsistent they are with realism. The reload buff is really nice but that doesn't hide everything else that's inaccurate with this tank, or with other tanks primarily from NATO nations. Kinda sad tbh
Spookston, you gotta play that good 6.7 french menace known as the AMX M4 and destroy nonfrench tanks with its autoloading 90mm (its fun destroying the new tiger h1 premium with it btw)
3:45 I know it's cheesy but the think that made warthunder so much more fun for me was considering this situation as teammates being helpful. I'll say thanks out loud just out of habit. Saved me ammo and I still got an assist. Keeps the attitude up! I highly recommend everyone try it, makes wt much more fun
@@asentienttoaster9763You know you can just uninstall it right? Instead of being an obnoxious little Redditor, you can play a game you enjoy. Imagine that, if you can. The point is, nobody likes you, and it is because of the way you are. Fix it.
Should have made another video of not playing the rdf and maybe just playing the hstvl commenting that ppl shouldnt get the premium until smoke and pen are accurate. Gaijin would cave in a week
They did the same with french vbci-2 And the amx10rc that could be replaced by the better gun version th ito90m that is a finish véhicules with french Sam system on top of it even tough they could have added the french version or the sk105a2 where they could have added the stabilized sk105a3 or the lecler azur with the leclerc xlr or the ofl 120 f1 with ofl 120 f2/shard or with magic 2 with mica ir with the rafale. I can continue a lot more to show that they just dont a nation to be competitive if its not usa/ germany/russia
Upon the eighth day of mine most humble beseeching, I dost implore thee, noble Spookston, to commandeer the venerable chariot of valor, the STRV 122B+.
Day 58 of telling spookston to play the IT1. its a ATGM launcher on the t62 chassis, it has decent-ish mobility, the turret is squished. You can hide behind cover and shoot ATGM over the cover like a gremlin and you overpressure tanks (tho it can be rare, but it does happen without you realizing) and its MG is really werid. Also it has a cool reload animation.
I challenge you to team up with OddBawZ as a scout/artillery pair, where one of you plays as the sneaky scout, spotting targets for the artillery to shoot. You can use any ratty scout vehicle and any self propelled artillery. The scout is not allowed to engage targets directly, unless in self defense, (but they can immobilize their target). The artillery is to hang back from the battlefield in a concealed position, not engaging targets with a direct line of sight, unless in self defence, (binoculars are acceptable. Basically gunner's sight is not to have eyes on target) There is a ground map distance app for War Thunder that could help. ALL CAS is fair game. (day 10) Also a fun video topic for you to do would be how you, Spookston, would build your own tank army, delving into the features, armament, powerplant, roles, etc of your tanks. It can be of any setting, as well, or one of your own making. (edited)
1:16 despite the side composite being exactly the same as that in the front of the hull and turret in game it has a fraction of the effectiveness per mm of thickness. And that's ignoring how unbelievably under stated the turret and hull composite is. The toe plate has the same issue. From a balance perspective it makes sense, the chally 2 would be giga overpowered if they gave it anything close to its true LFP and side armour because only MBT class guns would be able to hurt it, but its annoying when Gaijin insists the game is realistic and they're pulling clear balance stuff like that.
I had a lot of grief from 75mm APFSDS in the Rooikat as well. Day 50: I Implore you to play the Rooikat Mk.1D. Its fast, it can resist 50cals to the front, and its cannon tickles enemies to death.
Day 164 You should play a tank with hydropneumatic suspension (recommend the MBT-70) But the catch is you have to drop the suspension as low as it can go for the whole match.
the wrong engine sound is pretty funny because i noticed on the new event T-80UD theve given it the correct engine sound but the wrong engine x-ray model (the transmission is the correct one, but the engine is just the regular V-12 instead of the opposed-piston engine).

Day 36 of asking spookston to play jpz 4-5, fast, good cannon with insane penetration and scope so good you can stare into your enemy’s soul
It uses heat fs so it's useless to state that it has "insane penetration"
HEATFS is kinda shit. and the lack of a turret holds it back too. just play the RU-251 if you have it. its infinitely better as a light tank with HEATFS

the one in the turret is commander
It's the commander that's in the turret, the gunner is on the right side of the hull next to the driver
