The T26E5 is one of the most fun heavy tanks in the US tech tree. It's very similar to the M4A3E2 Sherman Jumbo, which is pretty infamous in the War Thunder community.

hope you guys like this, I had a blast with it
I do love tanks that are in a specific range T26E5 is in that range, obviously nowhere nearly as good as ST-A3 :D
supprisingly joyous this video! good stuff mate
It's such an absolutely fun tank to play
I liked the part where the IRL cas scared you
Have a blast like that Tiger 2 at 3:47
I loved the part where Spookston said “it’s Pershing time” and pershed all over the enemy team, truly one of the WarThunder moments ever
Nice pfp fellow derg
very nice pfp
technially it would be Pershing-ing time but alas xD
A fellow spooner!
When did he do that?
With how slow that missile was at 15:05 , I have no doubt in my mind that that was a Type 60 ATGM. Thing is such a pain to play lmao
Maybe a Zachlam Tager?
@brunocurso2429 I believe the Zachlam shoots the missles off more straight forward, while when the clip with the atgm launcher starts, you can barely see the missle launch up, then go back down
ATGMs are all busted with the new update...
@@razvy6949 Keyboard-guided ATGMs weren't changed
@@razvy6949don't know in what reality you live but most ATGMs were hugely nerfed, and barely if not a single one was buffed.
Never expected a T26e5 video but its a very welcome addition, one of my favorite tanks at 6.7, sadly it faces uptiers quite often against cold war tanks which makes it painful to play.
it's not too bad if you play it very carefully
It's a really fun tank, t'was one of the tanks that got me my first nuke
I play it as a heavily armored light
It will suffer less when the new br changes are implemented. Well, so do the king tigers...
@BGH2008Isn't it the vice versa? Fun in downtiers, but hell in uptiers
Fun fact, if you look in the armour protection you can see that the lower front plate is not modeled correctly, visually it is correct, but the actual armour is approximately 20° more angled. This has been in the game ever since the T26E5 was introduced, Gaijin has never fixed it, the T26E5 has been in the game since 2021. This tank is a perfect example that Gaijin will not fix something unless they are pressured to by the community and money depends on it.
The armor model for the jumbo Pershing’s Lfp was corrected with the proper angle in a later update after it’s introduction but the 3d model still hasn’t been touched after all theses years
Though I also believe the Lfp armor model is also incorrect to a certain extent. The actual model itself is just copied from the regular Pershing just given different values. In photos of the two tanks you can see the Lfp on the jumbo Pershing being slightly different
@@mono9702 it was, but its wrong again, you can look ingame
The Manlet too is thin closer to the barrel. I usually get shot through there when I'm facing players because the thickness is around 170 mm.
@@lowellhirning495It's annoying how everytime someone does a bug report, they respond with a "nuh uh"
I want to see Spookston try the T-26-4 while only using the shrapnel shell. (Day 2)
It has been seen…
Thats just True torture
oddbawz did the same challenge and lost his sanity, almost as much as when he played the scorpion.
The rare Spookston video. He has a good time playing War Thunder, in a tank which is amazing at its stated role within its BR range. Unbelievable.
I love how spook has so much more energy when he’s playing something he likes
Thank god I thought I was going crazy. I consider the T26E5 the superior heavy at 6.7 to a Tiger 2--which in my book makes it the best heavy at the BR
Facing T26E5 as King Tiger is very very similar to facing Jumbo as Tiger 1
😢@@darnit1944
it feels surreal seeing spookston actually have fun playing war thunder
(Attempt #12) I am once again requesting that you play the Italian 90/53 M41. It is killer in CQC and can pen tanks most others can't with its shell. It is surprisingly survivable if you don't get strafed and is a good TD... when you aren't reloading
I hope he plays that, and the t-10a (has he played it already?)
You have my support camerata!
Doesn't it only carry like 8 or 10 shells?
@@whohashamburger855 who, me?
It's not that good tbh
Seeing that atgm slowly fly by as that guy tried to hit you was rather funny, didn't think that missile could be so slow
A really fun heavy tank to play is the Somua SM, it plays kinda like a medium but also has some decent armor.
Another tank that would be cool to see, is the original FL10 EBR. Nobody plays it anymore but im sure that thing is still really good, even after the nerfs.
SO glad you chose to do this one, honestly aside from the lack of pen and somewhat lower velocity compared to the T26E1-1's gun right after it, it's still an extremely potent and well armored tank for 6.7
Right after I unlocked it I loved using it due to how easy it was to actually tank enemy rounds and still dish out some punishment, and despite being a heavy it still moved out of it's own way decently well. It's truly one of my favorite tanks in american 6.7 despite the M3's lackluster APHE penetration, and the APCR's random ass janky inconsistency.
Damn. The T26e5 is one of my favorite US ground vehicles, nice to see a video on it.
The Pershing is my favorite WWll tank! Amazing armor and a big fat 90mm gun makes this a beast on the field!
7:26 has the same thing happen last weekend. A jet flew over my house and i thought i was getting bombed. And any time something’s thrown over my head, and i see the shadow, i always get startled. A bird flew ofer my head, and i nearly hit the floor with how badly i flinched.
4:32 that sturmtiger behind the tiger is straight up staring down spooks soul
Hello Spookston!
Since you like to try doing challenges I would have an idea for you:
The M18 GMC vs High tier
Its a really fun Tank and I would love to see you playing it!
Also Thank you for uploading you really help me getting better (and I really did Got better) thanks to you!
As someone who started with America then did a bit of a German side tree, (to play with my German main friends) and with that, my first encounter with this thing was literally the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced. Every shot bounced, and the one that went through just killed his machine gunner. I shot again and again, and every shot bounced right off. After 10 or so shots he made it all the way to my position, and stared at me as my last round bounced off his front plate, before he claimed my life. It was a great duel, and I wonder to this day if it was Spookston, because they were named Player. If it was Spookston your terrifying in that thing, and if not your still terrifying in that thing, but whoever that was needs to 1v1 you, because that would be the duel of a century.
Also, Spookston, I LOVE your content and I learned a ton from it, using your videos and playstyle to help me along with my light vehicles, and generally become a better player. Keep up the Amazing content!

@@NikisAmp-hh4mg comment 👍
One problem it has with gun is it has a so large muzzle break (or whatever it is) that make it easy to aim barrel.
6:17 I think the IS-2 shell actually hit the hatch, that's where the penetration sound effect plays. That's a known weakspot on the Pershings.
Would love to see you use the budget T54, AKA the Type 62. It is unfortunately at a useless BR, with nothing to bring with it, but it is a very cool tank.
I like how spookston is now. If you watch some of his earlier videos where he just started with actual WT gameplay you can hear him being rather quiet and serious, now he sounds way more confident and open, cracking jokes every now and then.
T26-E1 is one of the best Pershings in game, super Pershing minus armor with an outstanding turret traverse and same 224mm pen
I'd love to see some high tier heavy gameplay, M103, Conq, IS-4 etc. If Spookston can't make them work no one can surely.
7:20 thats ground realistic player PTSD
Its a very common thing, that happened to me yesterday, but it was a military F-16 soo... i thought it was more like a nuke
10:14 This is the first edit where I actually had to pause the video because made me laugh so hard. It’s so true lmao
It is very interesting how content creators (maybe except Dollar) are playin WT, killing everyone around them like they are blind and deaf. I mean literally you can see a guy stands behind corner, looking at you and waits to be killed... WHen i play, if i get a inch of my tank out of cover i am sniped to death by three tanks in 0.5 second. And no i am not new, im in WT 11 years now.
YEAH feel like they are paid actors
0:48 is legit the most expressive reaction I have ever heard from spookston
0:40 no need to worry I have bounced multiple times a jagdtiger from front plate and even touret same times
this is my go-to tank for rank 4 as it is so good at bouncing shells. I once encountered a maus and bounced a shell when angled
How can people play this game with disappearing tanks is beyond me
7:12 my bro is traumatized💀
Day 97 of asking for M103
4.7 Jumbo Cobra King lineup back in the day was an absolute nightmare for the enemy team, it was such a fun time for the game
Type 59 is the T-54 derivative that's most famously known for NOT running over students on Tiananmen Square on 4th June 1989
Used the super Pershing in my grind for top tier. Was so happy when it was capable of taking hits from most of its br
I think you should try the Jagdtiger, it is slow, its armor doesn't matter at all at its tier, but at least the 12,8cm round's angle pen means you an one-shot T-44 / 54s at high angles through the side.
7:02 Not just a random shot, a random shot while your tank was vibrating. Absolutely incredible.
rare footage of spookston having the absolute time of his life
Day 7 of asking spookston to please play tortoise
The proximity effect on that missile! Fuuuurk, that got me.
10/10 enjoyable tank, helped fight german mains confidently. Also just hearing helicopters flying over my neighbourhood sometimes gave me the same feeling @7:12 when I was @BR8.0+. 💀
the skyrim fight music on the missile at the end absolutely killed me
2:57 “737 dicmabutt”😂
73962
Most of the jumbo Pershing: "IM F*CKING INVINCIBLE"
Machine gun port: "🍷🗿"
Spook seems to be having way more fun than normal
A US Heavy I thoroughly enjoy is the T-32, it's low to the ground, has insane turret armor and APCR will go trough most things you face.
1:56 "I'm not gonna lie I'm really out of it right now like I'm not ouUuhhhhh😮😫😓!!??" I never heard something like that from Spookston.😅
Spookston you should play the russian traktor tank destroyer, the Zis-30, its so hilarious to play with its wacky suspension and to use in an uptier day maybe 15
It was always fun to .50 Cal those to death in the early Shermans. Because I knew someone goofed big.
Your edits really make the videos for me man. The fights are always dope, but the sounds effects and cuts are just on point!
You should try any of the Swedish strv 103 variants, especially the ones at 7.7 currently. The 4sec autoloader combined with the stock round it gets, can be operated by 1 crewmember, and constantly bounces shots. Very goofy tank
APCR dispersion is actually one of the more realistic things in War Thunder. They were known for losing accuracy and effectiveness rapidly with range. Something to do with being a light projectile but still the full size of the bore.
APDS overcame the effectiveness drop off issue by using the sabot and a sub calibre projectile. But introduced its own problems with stabilisation. Which were eventually overcome.
Hello Spookston! I think you should try the su 5-1 8 kill, 8 shot challenge. basically you can only bring 8 ammo and get 8 kill.
Spookstoon: multiple kills in one match. Me: one kill one assist and one cap and three deaths
The verbal abuse dished out at the start of the match against that t54 was uncalled for lmao
seeing Type 60 ATM's ATGM in flight never gets old
That 122 casually having more pen than some high tier darts.
"what's a type 59"
Maybe its my old WoT T7 PTSD, but I knew that one instantly
I once met a cocky 126e5. He drove around the corner, little did he know that a sturer emil (me) was waiting there. Then he proceded to evaporate
Fun fact. If you ever face an E5, remember this easy fact. The hull crew hatches only go up to 80mm's at their thickest, and successful penetration with APHE will one tap the tank
Or just shoot machine gun port
Bro, ive never heard spookston sound so happy lol
Can't believe Spookston became an active protection system and killed a 38cm rocket
I swear Spookston has a different match maker because he allways faces the most braindead apponents.
He sounds so genuinely happy to be playing the vehicle
This is the most energized I've ever seen Spookston
Spookston just needs a mod that replaces the "Target Destroyed" with "Get Clowned On"
That slow missile coupled with Skyrim battle music is reminds me back in Skyrim era when you're peacefully in your horse and suddenly the music play only to see a trio of bandit over the horizon slowly approaching you only to get mauled by a cave bear halfway through
"What's a Type 59?"
Welp, there goes my old World of Tanks PTSD, from the days when gold ammo was truly gold ammo.
I am impressed how you can link engine sounds to a specific tank, impressive.
04:38 full bully disrespect for sturmmorser and I liked it 😂😂😂😂
that was the first time i heard Spookston click his tongue from frustration
*Me* *starts playing war thunder to play cool tanks
*Gaijin* *Here have a Stuart and a boat
Spookston having the equivalent of a cod player seeing sniper scope glare is funny lmao
Spookston actually sounds like he’s having fun in this video!
That USH joke at 8:00 was so unexpected that I started crying from laughter. oml help me
The sound edits are on point and bring a laugh at the most UNEXPECTED moments
Spookston when a bomb falls directly on him: Unbothered. Moisturized. In my lane.
Spookston when a bomb lands 100 feet away from him: 💀
I'm so glad I can just watch these videos instead of suffering through playing the actual game.
rare moment of spookston having fun in a heavy
Tiger says what the hell are you. T26E5 replies death
Never heard Spook sound so giddy throughout a whole video
My guy sounding like he just smoked a doob
"Get absolutely clowned on"
Lmao, love it
It’s not just you Spookston, for whatever reason I die immediately in downtiers, but do gods work in uptiers 😂
"no buddy you dont wanna pull that one out all the way"
*explodes*
Same
Same.
Spookston getting 8 kills 3 assist in 1 deah "yeah pretty good game"
Me getting 4 kills after dying twice "wow, what a good game"
Spookston when he hears a prop plane above his house irl: Panik
this is actually one of the funniest episodes you've ever released
is it just me or does he sound more energetic than usual
Nice energy in this video. Excellent edits too!
Keep it up bro
12:42 happy Abrams
I feel like accepting that you're not gonna pen some things is still better than being in denial and hoping that apcr is gonna work in any capacity
The one time Spookston wasn’t hit by CAS 300 times in a match
i love the hi that plays 0:46
one time i had been playing A LOT of bfv and i had to walk my dogs. I get outside, hear a propellor plane, and my first thought was that it was a buzzbomb and that i should seek shelter lmao
I had no idea you could shoot a Sturmtiger's shell mid-flight that's so cool!
the slow ass atgm was so funny lmao
Spookston - apparently I wasted all my luck* there wait maybe not.
Also Spookston in a full downtier - *Dies to a IS-2 single shot*
I love the jumbo Pershing, the only good 6.7 American tank that can survive in all the uptiers you're going to get.
Nah the t34 is a lot better
