We want 1 HSTV-L video per 30 days .... simple. It'll be a spook-tradition from now on. No buts & ifs. (other vehicles can be used as backups, if the HSTV-L stops HS-ing ... )
Sometimes i really don't understand the armour model Watching a shell hit a spot which has like half the armour you can pen or less but the game be like "non-penetration lmao" Or optics, which are weakspots irl, just flat out eating an entire round
Fun fact: the pt-76 is in active service in the vietnamese army TO THIS DAY So spookston if you want to suffer put it in 11.7 for maximum acuracy and pain
Okay but it is still not historically accurate because it cannot be used properly. The whole point of this thing is to be able to cross rivers to be able to catch the enemy off guard, along with the fact that the Soviets assumed that in any offensive into west Germany they were going to blow up the bridges
You gotta play the Centurion Mk 5 AVRE. It's somewhat survivable at its 7.0 BR so you can spend time questioning your choices and gaijin's implementation of HESH.
Spookston recording this video only for it to corrupt and have him record again is hilariously painful. *The Grind Never Ends!* Play the Ratel-20 though. Its the Ratel 90 but it trades the the gun for a much weaker autocannon and an ATGM at 6.7!
Yes, check your audio settings. Options -> Sound -> Crew Language (select crew country). Though it only applies directly to what the crew says, not the voice chat options or anouncer. Be in the hangar, go to options, sound, and it'll be under crew language.
The M2HB Browning was a mostly American HMG. Other NATO countries thought it was OP as a tank secondary weapon and only mounted 7.62 mm machine guns. So the Soviets didn't plan their doctrine around avoiding Brownings. It was only in the Afghan War (when the mujahadeen made heavy use of both the Browning and the Dushka in the anti armor role) that Soviet planners realized this was a serious mistake: the older models of the BMP-1 and -2 both possessed side armor that .50 cal HMGs could penetrate at range, forcing a rethink in design and doctrine.
I had my "Fox" moment yesterday when I nailed an M53/59 moving south on the Poland map from across the lake with my Finnish PT-76... I guessed the lead and hail-Mary-ed the damn thing... My reaction was pretty much the same as yours.
7:13 I'd be surprised, English is still related to Russian, while Finnish is from a completely different language family. Unless, Spook certified Finn??
10:34 i would have taken an image of the penetration charts of that shot with severely base boosted audio of “MICHAELL DONT LEAVE ME HEAR” as a response
Spookston I am once again recommending, if you're using shadowplay to record, try using OBS instead as its default .mkv file storage format is much less prone to issues with the recording breaking causing file corruption. Also if you have a power outage or otherwise crash, it'll typically save right up to a second or 2 from the computer going down, rather than losing the last 20 minutes as shadowplay can tend to do.
10:35 the MOST visceral and raw sound of pain and anguish i have ever heard come out of this mans voice, and it was because of non penning a Japanese vehicle.
The chinese Pt-76 when in simulator battles is a gremlin when facing the USSR due to it being nearly identical to the russian one. Also maybe try using the LVT(A)(4)(ZIS-2) because I find it very fun to use at long or medium ranges.
Spookston, have a challenge for you: L3, all bushed up, on the highest possible BR and you can only stop if you survive a match without being killed or hurt by a plane.
9:30 also when you have doubts about whether or not what you're aiming at is an alive enemy, your commander will call it out when you range your shot (if he's still alive ofc) so that guy was indeed alive.
To save your recordings from corruption you may try to record using OBS in .mkv format. That way if something happens and your PC turns off, or something is wrong with your GPU, the recording will still have what was recorded before. Love you spookie ❤
Hoping you can hold off on that GPU upgrade until January of next year Spooks. That's roughly around the time the newest gen graphics cards from Nvidia and AMD are coming out
sorry to hear that your gpu is having issues, especially provided how much it has seen over the course of your channel's career, it's amazing how much it's been through, wouldn't mind giving a few bucks for a new one tho, keep up the good work :D
I swear to god, if we see a patch note for "fixed a mistake on STB-2's turret armor" in the near future, Spookers is gonna deep fry himself beyond recognition.
Hey Spookston, you can change your crew language to be able to hear when they call the ranges. Go to Options > Sounds > Crew Language and set it to Game Options. Now any vehicle from any tree will speak in English. Hope this helps 🙂👍 Also a video on the Panzer IV/70 (A) pls

my favorite feature of this tank is watching the heat jet magically run out of juice after sticking a pinky toe past the armor
what I like with the PT-76B is that at 5.3~6.3 there's a lot of open topped American vehicles
out of juice☠
@@UltimEVB hellcats are delicious
My favorite feature of low caliber heat is the jet, magically disappearing after hitting 1 crew member
It’s like watching those sparklers you get for the 4th of July but weaponised
That "NON PENETRATION, WHAT" came from the soul
From the DEEEEEEP
Sometimes i really don't understand the armour model

damn right that came from soul.
10:36 Brother is tweaking so hard, i've never seen him genuinely lose it this maniacally
Never heard him scream like that
spookston's reaction when HEATFS doesnt wanna pen because of a fucking box on the side of the turret:
Reasonable reaction to War Thunder BS
Bro how dangerous is this thing to a tiger tank or that premium version Porsche something@@Samsung-1.9Cu.Ft.Microwave
i get it. thats my average reaction when using heat
10:35 most emotion he has ever shown
The real cool thing at 9:53 is that it's THE SAME GUY who just strafed you before. I cannot believe those players
CAS mains are subhuman. No. Actual NPCs.
I can. Pettiness and hate is a common combo
Id be lying if I said id never revenge CASed someone but I’ve never been that petty
@@peepsy1528 I got banned from the warthunder reddit for saying that exact thing...
worth it!
Pretty understandable because Gaijin doesn’t want to change the SP system🤣
10:33 That non-pen was the cherry on top, and that "what" let's you know he's lost it for the day after the video corruption
Great video as always 👍
10:33 I think thats the loudest I've ever heard Spookston speak
Same man
Everyone got moments like that when they get Gaijined something fierce
Lmaooo I was about to comment on this
Genuinely sounded like that one Fish from Spongebob "YOU WHAT"
I've had those moments..........
Fun fact: the pt-76 is in active service in the vietnamese army TO THIS DAY
So spookston if you want to suffer put it in 11.7 for maximum acuracy and pain
Even worse it's still in service with Russia semi officially as a bunch were reactivated and sent to Ukraine.
@@craigkingdon4424 russia at least has some of them upgraded right? I dont hear any plans to upgrade the pt-76 in the vietnamese army yet

I have a theory gaijin modeled HESH "spall" the same as HEAT jets and that's why they do absolutely nothing
He already did a vid on that

13:06 Spookston reenacting Five Evenings at Fredricks
I would have shat myself if I was in his situation 😅

Play the Ratel-20 though. Its the Ratel 90 but it trades the the gun for a much weaker autocannon and an ATGM at 6.7!
Got my first nuke with it somehow.
ooh im also asking for the ratel 20 for some time now, good to see more people on the case
He definitely should consider the ability to guide the missile with the commander MG from behind cover.
4:47 that’s me! Glad someone gets the reference lol
holly a wholesome encounter

10:35 the mix of fear and anger in his voice here is probably gonna be unmatched for a long while holy crap
10:35 the frustration in his voice 😂

Imagine developing a vehicle specifically to fight NATO, an alliance that includes the United States, and not making it able to withstand .50cal.
Real Soviet brain planer hours coping with "made for steppe" when their state doctrine is aggressive expansion.
Implying soviet gazoline sniffing brain can comprehend cause and effect 🤣
It fared off really well against M47s, M48s (and M24s) irl so yeah

overpressure is easy to understand, sometimes it is, sometimes it isnt, sometimes it is what it is, and sometimes it is but it kinda isnt

Best comment!
7:42 well, I do remember getting sniped on that match 😢
12:43 this entire sequence is why i love the mall in holland map.
The fact that the PT-76, T-34-85, and ASU-57 have served together in more than one war is just impressive

100 - stoh
200 - dvestee
300 - treestah
400 - chetyrestah
500 - pyatsoht
600 - shest'soht
700 - semsoht
800 - vosemsoht
900 - devyatsoht
1000 - tysyacha (combine with 100s and 10s)
