Controller ground is easy gameplay that gives unfair advantages like auto locking aircraft through mountains. Because all controller player agree it’s hard to move the joystick left and right.

Correct me if I'm wrong, dedicated incendiary rounds is worse then API. Sometimes at distance it may lack the penetration it needs to hit anything that may actually be ignited. I know this is a bit of a special case because of fighting a lot of armored vehicles, but when it comes to planes API is my absolute beloved. That's why I love American .50 cals, they often get belts made entirely of API-T, which is everything I would ever need. It has a tracer, it ignites components, it has the penetration needed to hit said components
Indeed pure Incendiary rounds burn on the surface, which is not that useful in WT. Likewise .50cal API would ignite on the surface and likely burn all of it before reaching a fueltank. Even so it was an upgrade over AP rounds as the API round could still ignite leaking fuel. I'm not sure how it all works in game. It looks like you rather just hit a fuel tank with anything with a fire chance coded into it and throw a dice to burn it, while leaking fuel is only a visual effect. Note that .50cal API rounds only had a tiny amount of incendiary on top of the solid AP projectile. 20mm and larger API rounds carried the incendiary load inside, so it could better reach the tanks or even just structures where fuel had leaked into. There were also have several kinds of HEI rounds which had intentionally only a small explosive load, so that it would break the shell and spread the incendiary load. Too much explosive filler in a HEI round would diminish the incendiary effect. Unfortunately these are also bit wonky in game, so it's usually better take the round with bigger explosive filler.
@@Teh0X I should probably note that the realization of I < API came when I was using 7.7 mm machine guns, that almost never ignited targets, despite using belts with mostly incendiary rounds, which somewhat improved with API. It may be that 12.7 mm incendiary rounds pack enough punch on their own not to have the same issue. Tracer belts for french F-6C-10-NA (mustang with 4 .50 cals) are made entirely of API-T and ignite everything so often, that at this point I'm surprised when they fail to do so
@@daroy1233 Yes lobbing just incendiary rounds would not have been effective. Perhaps against canvas covered biplanes it was effective, but an all metal aircraft, even without real armor or selfsealing tanks could soak a load of 7.7mm into their structure alone. When real protection was added, everyone "suddenly" needed bigger guns with HE or AP rounds to break the tanks to soak out the sweet nectar. For .50s they also made new far more effecitve incendiary rounds. Simply larger and longer burning incendiary splash. Interestingly even 30mm cannons had rounds filled with mostly incendiary, despite how effective these cannons were said to be against anything. At any rate such high capacity incendiary rounds were usually small minority in the carried ammo load. If I remember right, the used incendiary compositions actually burned hot enough to ignite aluminium, but on air that was quicky put out by the high speed airflow.
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 21)
Nah I had way more fun with the ratel 20 than the ratel 90. I got like 4 nukes in the 20 bc you can set a keybind to use the atgm scope and only poke the atgm launcher over a hill, making you immune to return fire as well as being able to look out over the battlefield without ever being spotted.
Burger should prove that he did, he almost certainly didn't. Especially since Spookston doesn't normally leave people hanging for much over a month, much less a year.
@@Coolerbooler84 I cannot find my first comment that I made in October last year, but if you to Spookston's "the worst super heavy tank" video, it would be my second time asking Spookston to play it. (the aforementioned video was posted on the 22nd of October, 2023)
"Surely he's going to crash at some point" every SPAA main actually helping their team also, "The second I spawn in all the planes immediately die" more SPAA main trauma (yes I'm an SPAA main at times, look, the sd.kfz.251/21 is really fun)
yo spooky, a good friend of mine also had a kidney transplant recently, and he also was dealing with a lot of tremors that his doctors determined was caused by Tachrolimus. so you're definitely on the right track with trying to get that reduced to get rid of the tremors!
Video (2) 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.)
I don't know why, but watching Spookston play War Thunder brings me an incomprehensible amount of joy, like straight up smiling at this man's silly little insults.
0:48 you mentioning shaking hands with this in the background just through an old meme into my head that applies pretty well here: "I mean my heart's beating, my heart's beating My hands are shaking, my hands are shaking But I'm still shooting, and I'm still getting the headshots It's like Boom headshot, boom headshot BOOM HEADSHOT!"
Had a CAS player complaining about spawn protection and the glitchy bombs in spawn recently, told him I couldn't hear him over the sound of my 6 .50's Adding the T77E1 and the Skink to the US tech tree at the same time as the ammo boxes has made the happiest little plane killer in all the world
Hey Spookston, long time viewer here, I got my first nuke last night which clutched the game, I tried to fly like how you do it and it worked. Thanks for everything and I hope you get over your jitters soon.
i love this spaa so much, it can go to any tier that has mostly props as cas and do pretty well, I have mine as far as my 6.7 lineup and it still does well
Hey Spookston, long time viewer here, I got my first nuke last night which clutched the game for us, I tried to fly like how you do it and it worked, thanks for everything and I hope you get over your jitters soon.
so i did the math for the t77: with 6600 rounds and 560rpm x 6 guns, you can fire (continuously as well since .50 cals don't overheat in WT) for a little less that 2 minutes
13:42 - I was just as surprised as you were when I found that out. That was also when I was still learning how different ammo types work in war thunder, so I had to check and see to make sure I wasn't stupid.
As someone who has been on immune suppression med for half my life I have to take dedicated med to suppress my hand tremors,hope ya get well soon spook,good video as always btw.
My son has Leukemia and after I gave him some of my stem cells for transplant they started him on Tacrolimus, he’s down to .5 ml hoping to taper back to 0 by January 10th but man he was shaking BAD when they first started the Tacro.
I have absolutely no desire to play Warthunder, but I have every desire to watch every one of your uploads. Stay healthy man. If you have to take a break, do. We'll be here for you.
Hey Spookston, a smol tip for ya. You don't need to spam clicking to fire when reloading. Just hold the mouse button and You'll fire as soon as it's reloaded. :)
You missed the best part of this tank, where it can fire continuously for 2+ minutes without overheating or reloading. It's some of the most fun you can have.
It's so annoying that things like the BTR 152 get effectively full 14.5mm incendiary belts with IAI and US .50 belts are half AP, with only the Common belt getting the only Incendiary per 4 rounds. And it's so obvious how much better performing the IAI is when you actually have to play those vehicles.
Day 9 of asking Spookston to play the Eland 90. It's basically a South African version of aml 90 but none of the improvements done to the design translate to warthunder
My transplant team said that your body can adapt to Tacrolimus over time and the tremors can go away or lessen. My team has since found my base dosage and my hands still tremor, so... yeah. Sucks. Trying to do anything of precision is an iffy prospect. Glad you're doing okay.
13:46 Isn’t a dedicated incendiary round the worst round in any of the American .50 caliber belts? I think the “fuse” sensitivity is too short to effectively pierce the air foil of an aircraft as well as pierce the fuel tanks to set a fire.
Day 154 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 US SPAA tree really has its ups and downs. the vehicles simply increasing the number of .50s when other countries get much larger calibres, then you get the twin-40mm Duster which fires too slowly to hit the likely adversaries, then you jump from that back to Skink with quad-20mm polsten guns... good luck getting used to the bullet velocity and leading targets lol.
