Fun fact: In one of Spook's older videos (The M1 Abrams drama to be more exact), he said that how much worse German 5.7 teams would be if there were like 5 premium Tigers. Fast Forward to now, and there we have it.
I watched that video yesterday Thing is, I’m playing at this tier at the moment but I’m grinding British techtree so 17-pounder, you can bounce a surprising amount of 88 off a Centurion mk1 turret

I mean technicallyyyyy speaking there are a couple proposals that they could hypothetically add. It was never built but it was a tiger spaa. The flakpanzer tiger (p) was to be equipped with two 8.8cm flak 41s and another where they would use the tiger 1 with 5.5cm guns
New challenge: use a tank that has HE-VT and a laser rangefinder, and try to overpressure the bottom of other tanks. Edit: y’all need to calm down he doesn’t need to do what I said
He used the merkavas HEVT as an HE shell, from what I can tell by the video because that was the only HE shell the merkava had. This time I’m asking him to use an HEVT shell specifically as an HEVT shell
British APDS go brrrr. Also, say what you want about the Ratel 90, but German mains don't expect a school bus to have a 90mm HEAT shell with 380mm of pen
The full tiger lineup would be funny in theory. It's like 5 Premium Tigers and 2 Tech Tree Tigers. Tigers for everyone. Tiger (Tiger Stripes) (5.7), Tiger Ost (5.7), Tiger West (5.7), Tiger H1 (5.7), Tiger E (6.0), VK 45.01 (P) (5.7) and Pz.Bef.Wg VI P (5.7).
Love the Tiger spam as a German main, since as people become accustomed to fighting Tigers, I see these tanks pop all of the time with full turret launching olympics since almost most of the Tiger players out there don't angle, or don't run low ammo. Almost next to nobody who operates a Tiger IMHO understands how to angle and why it's important to watch for how exposed the top of your vehicle is. Also, you can penetrate the tiger just above the mantlet housing the cannon barrel, which is just a sneaky way to wack them. Still though, having a blast with the new Tigers. It's just fun, and the challenge continues to grow as people figure out and learn by heart how to take you out. ❤❤
21 Shells I think empties your side racks, I often run 1 rack just because I usually burn the ammo rather quick and since this bundle came out I consistently use 16-22 shells in one tank
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 35)
Ratel 20 is a late game beast but they nerfed it so you can't aim from commander cupola/atgm now :/And yes they wreck panthers side on, just aim low and be 90° or not very far away. Around 300-400m or so it'll still go through. But I can't pen a BTR152 at 400m with the rh202....

I have an idea for a video you use amphibious tanks and just do "gun boat diplomacy" just travel around in water and rivers getting kills, i think you and odd would find it interesting.
(Late post because PC Crashed) 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 15) Also a fun video topic for you to do would be how you, Spookston, 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.
They are the definition of pay to win. They are flat out better than standard tigers, the extra armour on the front makes them damn near immune to things like that cobra king etc..
