Also, if you’re doing some gardening Spook, may I recommend carnivorous plants? They’re higher maintenance but very rewarding to grow, and absolutely fascinating. I would recommend doing some research first though.
i heard you hate british vehicles, vehicles that do no damage and vehicles that are basically CAS magnets, so i think you should play the ratel 90; a gigantic british light tank with no armor, that only gets 90mm HEAT with a 7 second aced reload and that somehow always gets strafed by planes before it's even allowed to leave spawn (day 73)
@@rusellgonzalez3564 I'm not sure if they really envisioned having so many different variants when they designed it initially, but it was certainly a fantastic all around platform that could be modified relatively easily to suit the mission.
@@rusellgonzalez3564at the practical level the mark 4 was the first universal tank, with 1-3 being prototypes or trainers. The mark 4 would be turned into basically anything, from infantry support with both cannon and machine gun models. Engineering vehicles, with the ability to destroy trenches, an armoured personal carrier (see the one at the bovington tank museum for example), a mobile command bunker, a self propelled gun, and even a blimp towing port.
The intro meme is something i resonate with so much. Us mains (me included) get so cocky thinking that they can easily take a pnz 4 until they get shot in the mg port.
So glad you took this tank out. I love bouncing KV-1 shots and then drilling through them with hvap. I take it out in a lineup with the chaffee and m10 and it rules. One plane I enjoy taking out for CAS/anti-CAS is the p61c1. It's stoopid fast and hits super hard with its bombs and cannons, and has a search radar which I've found actually pretty helpful in ground rb. Thanks again for being a pro gamer, Spookston :)
The mention of the Amish was something I didn't expect being a PA resident next door to Ohio. They're most prevelant in Lancaster County, PA. Pair that with Strasburg railroad and you'd think it's 1912 up there XD
I was just in Pymatuning in the Jamestown campground and 80% of the people there are Amish. Which is a unique experience since I live in McKeesport right under Pittsburgh.
Love facing KV1 (E&B) in this thing. Frontally they struggle to pen you and dont have the stabilizer like you. Best part you can one shot them in the lower front plate every time its incredible.
@@TeurastajaNexusWhat are you on about the Panzer IV or even the Turan is much better💀. The sherman doesn't excel at anything except numbers (which isn't a matter in war thunder). The panzer 4 is pretty similar but has greater firepower which makes it much more reliable and can easily deal with heavier targets unlike the sherman. The mobility and armor is pretty much the same, aswell as their height. So because of the firepower, the panzer 4 is a clear winner pound to pound if not in other ways aswell. Edit: I forgot to mention I'm obviously only talking about this specific type of shermans and not any other, like the jumbo.
@@KokenyRichard I'm a German main originally and I stand on my opinion that the Shermans are overall superior at 3.7-4.2 BR range. Their APCBC is good, they have better armor than the Panzer 4s and also they are equipped with vertical stabilizers. Don't get me wrong, the Panzer 4s are good but I'm just better at smacking them with the Shermans.
@@TeurastajaNexus Oh yea true the sherman has a stabiliser but it doesn't seem to matter for me, like that's just a little good thing to have but it's not necessary idk🤷🏻♂️ The sherman may have better armor on paper but in practice it really worths as much the panzer 4s💀 It's practically useless from my experience. The apcbc IMO is literally bad, it has what 103 mms of pen? Like that's pretty bad if you ask me, IMO the panzer 4 is superior to the sherman at 4.0 because of it's firepower.
@@KokenyRichard Sure, the Panzer 4 has got a better round but it doesn't matter that much for me. The armor of the Sherman has worked better on several occasions in my experience. People bounce off their shots quite often and partly because the armor is angled.
People who knock U.S 75mm for low pen do not care to look at the average armor thickness it faces. Most tanks have plates 30-40mm thick. 100mm of pen is more than enough. Plus your height causes the round to more easily normalize on sloped plates.
@@ideadlift20kg83To be honest , US 75mm is way too overpowered in WT . He penetrated a SU-122's front plate at what 600m ? 45mm sloped at 50° , this is a T-34 front plate . Never ever this would pen , they just buffed the Shermans pretty hard . The fake stabilizer is the next thing , never worked like that irl .
@@5co756 The kill cam cannot show arching of shots. It will always regardless of distance show a straight line shot. At 600m the shot will arch downwards. It also is not accurate at depicting where you actually hit. Latency and so on affects it. I have had shells do 180s back and forth until it just magically decides to normalize on the plate I shot.
I think the round at 9:00 actually bounced off the ground in front of you and penetrated your weak underbelly, judging by the dirt being kicked up in front of your tank from a ground impact and the fact that it destroyed your engine over anything else. 😮
Dude this sherman is so good. It's literally my go-to whenever I need quick SL. Average kill count on that thing is probably 6 to 8. Nice to see you play it.
That buggy problem speaks too much to me. Anyone that lives in rural PA, OH and the other major Amish areas know the pain of being on a 45mph and never being able to pass
Spookston what I lLOVE about your videos is the halo sound effects that just give me nostalgia from my Xbox days playing with my little brother. PLEASE NEVER CHANGE
Literally my favourite lineup in all game, 2x 3.7 M4s (one from WT mobile) and the 4.0 one with the P-51 with 4 cannons and an M16 or M10 to complete it ♥. Good job Pookie
The M4A2 is genuinely one of my most favorite tanks in the game its stupid fun and easy to play. Stabilized, aphe, good armor at such a low br with new players is insane. It was lowered from Rank 3 to Rank 2 though so you can't grind events with it but its still amazing!
grind italy 3.7, they have rank 3 sherman, m24, some good TD, m42 contraereo which is an amazing SPAA. Did most of my challenges and dailies in this BP with this lineup Or go premium sweden with sherman and sav
28th time challenging Spookston to bring the Char 25t into an 8.3 lineup, and then incrementally increase the BR to find when the tank becomes unironically unplayable.
Hi Spookston, I don’t know if you’ve already done a video on it, but it would be really funny to watch you play the sturmpanzer. The 1.0 big German HE slinger would obliterate the tanks and the low velocity of the round would make the gameplay more comical. Thanks for reading!
You know it's the good part of the week when it is Wednesday evening (6pm in Germany) and you know that within the next five days, there will be three Spookston videos up 🙂 Keep up the good work buddy, love your videos! Greetings from Berlin 😊
Hey spookston, i've been watching your videos for a year or so and i just wanted to say thank you for making me laugh even in the toughest of situations. I also thank you for being an inspiration to getting better at War Thunder.
I just discovered your channel late last night and binged your videos, and I'm glad to have found another WT youtuber other than KilaWest and Trekpas. Not that I don't like them, it's just always nice to have some more stuff to watch. Anyways, I started the US ground tech tree a few months ago and though I'm in higher tiers now, I still use the T1E1. I think it's incredible, and though that might just be me, I'd like to see you give it a whirl and see what you have to say.
At 15:38 it seems you hit the edge where the armor 90 degree and 45 degree armor slopes meet. When imagining that behind the the skirt then the observation matches my War Thunder intuition about non-penning.
Another good thing about the M4A2 are your AA options in a lineup. Something like the P-51A mixed with the M16 or M42, and you can have those planes regretting their decision to play GRB
First of all that tank is a beast and i love it and second of all; I got a challenge for you, pick any tank of your choosing but you can only have five shells and there must be at least two different types(day idk)
M4A2 when they started doing the front plate as a single piece, instead of welding lots of parts together, had 100mm effective armor AKA the same as a non-angled Tiger I. This was by far the best Sherman out of the 4 initial models (A1 to A4).
Should I release a 4th of July video on Friday
Also, if you’re doing some gardening Spook, may I recommend carnivorous plants? They’re higher maintenance but very rewarding to grow, and absolutely fascinating. I would recommend doing some research first though.

Lucky shot from the t34 at 9:00, bro hit the dirt under Spookston and had the round ricochet up into his hull floor
Stalin's hand guided the shell, no luck involved.
T34 is broken tbh
The M4A2, chaffe, M10 and M19A1 combo is something that will never get old to me.
Easily peak load out especially with cas
I like all of them but with a lineup of the m4a1 76w
Cause its the best tank in game for the br

I once killed a Maus in a Char 25t like that 💀
Or it has more pen due to the bell curve trajectory of the shell on the inclined front plate.
Happened to me once in a Tortoise and a T34-85 killed me like that from 800m. I got so mad and Alt+F4'd.

The regular m4, m10 and 105 shermans are one of the scariest lineups in the game
That amish buggy comment was insanely relatable, especially since I live near a countryside part of pennsylvania.. it's not fun at all.
Dear Spookston, I once again humbly request the Sturmtiger to be turned into a big bush.
You know it's the good part of the week when it is Wednesday evening (6pm in Germany) and you know that within the next five days, there will be three Spookston videos up 🙂
Keep up the good work buddy, love your videos!
Greetings from Berlin 😊
I swear the crew kept saying "HAMBURGER!!!!!"
The Tom and Jerry reference in the beginning had me roling!
I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH! Thanks for referencing it!
9:00 you're on the downslope, he's shooting from above. I think even your own gun could have penetrated you here.
and shell will angle slightly downwards from the drop at that range, negating a few degrees of the hulls slope
Using Grunt voice lines for ratty vehicles is amazing
I love the snoopy images!
The m4 Sherman is a personal favorite in game and one of the first tanks I saw when I was young.
Is there anybody else who thinks that Spookston’s voice kinda sounds like Sam’s voice from the TH-cam channel Sam O’Nella Academy…?
no
@jeremythehusky379 , go listen to Sam’s voice in some of his older videos, and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
As someone who learned to drive and recently got licensed in Pennsylvania, the Amish buggy statement is complete true 😂.
Please Breda 501 spookie
Day 105
Being stuck behind an Amish buggy is also very much an Iowa problem.
Hi
As someone who lives in Lancaster Pennsylvania i can agree Amish buggy's suck being stuck behind...
oh don't worry we got the amish buggy problem in missouri too
At 7:05 that kv-1 shot is actually the shot I go for on the B and E, and it kills them semi-reliably. Hope this helps if anyone sees this lol.
“All up in our grill” is a legendary spookston quote and I’m all for it
4:10 the wheel tried to get a free ride but failed😞
4:00 He was wiggling left and right as like a “No don’t kill me!”
13:55 no matter what tank you're playing, seeing the KV-2 whom you just whiffed a shot on turn to look at you is terrifying
3:00 you can actually .50 cal those ports
The Stuart rolling up at 14:30 was wholesome lol
♥ love the sound effects u put in
the meme at the start is amazing. i love it
Hey spookston, i've been watching your videos for a year or so and i just wanted to say thank you for making me laugh even in the toughest of situations. I also thank you for being an inspiration to getting better at War Thunder.
I mained this tank for almost a year straight I’m so glad it’s finally getting the attention it deserves
You had to go and do it, I was enjoying this underrated beast and now watch it get uptiered now
Nah Spook, my grandpa is a cowboy, so he works with the Amish sometimes, so buggy problems happen here too, even in Texas.
The meme at the beginning is brilliant omg
I just discovered your channel late last night and binged your videos, and I'm glad to have found another WT youtuber other than KilaWest and Trekpas.

I theorize you can tell how much Spook is enjoying the gameplay by how much Halo CE sfx he splices into the editing.
That moment of dread when you're reloading, and the KV-2 turret is traversing toward you..... **PUCKER FACTOR 11**
You get the right shot that 75 is devastating
