The pen for the APHE used to be like 15mm lower. The change made a big difference between front penning most things and not front penning most things. Really got it over that threshold.
Probably the reason your APHE is so inconsistent is because a while back Gaijin did an experiment to make APHE shells more accurate (i.e, exploding in a cone instead of a sphere), and some swedish APHE shells were the test subjects of this, but it never went anywhere, however those shells do still have the cone effect
I remember the good 'ol days when the Delat's ammo rack magically moved outside the tank every time you turned the turret. I had some *really* wacky deaths to that crap.
If I'm not mistaken, the T-34E was either designed for urban warfare or to resist HEAT-shells. Edit: And what makes it worse is that the truck shot You through the cargo crate, something that most vehicles can't shoot through.
A very handy feature on the DT is that the loader can just directly shove shells into the breech if your first stage runs out. It takes about 7 seconds but it means you don't have to wait for the autoloader to restock to *then* load the gun. Especially in situations where you need to fire more than 4 shells. SO you don't need to fear that you'll be caught unable to reload just because your first-stage is empty.
Which is kinda funny in itself. MOST tank's autoloaders actually allow manual load. In fact, some tanks got special ammo which they can't use with autoloaders, needing to switch to manual. Same with first stage racks in non-autoloaders. And then we have some tanks which actually can't access certain racks in combat (Hilariously, T-90M is one of them, sporting extra ammo bin at the back of the turret without actual access to it. The point was to ditch the 23th-42nd round shelves which were the ACTUAL reason why T-series had less than ideal burn rate).
Not sure if anyone has ever mentioned it or not Spooks, but I appreciate your use of hit sound effects that were used in Team Fabulous 2, it's a lovely reminder every time I hear them
I love how I just fought one of these things last night and genuinely struggled with its turret, only for Spookston to make a video talking about it the next day.
This is one of my favourite swedish vehicles. When i got it, almost immediately i got a talisman for it in a chest lol, so i grinded through all of swedish tier 3-4. Then came the strv 103-0, which is fantastic, grinded through the rest of Sweden with it, u should definitely try it i think😁
This alongside the Pvkv 2 is hilariously fun. Strv m/42 DT plays very well in close quarters since you can easily bait people with your low reload time, and the Pvkv 2 is excellent for long distance shots.
i think the 5.0 casemate is the best for sniping the crap out of everything. if you use your gun dep that thing actually has a lot of front angle with 75mm of armor
I started the Sweden line and so far it's been an enjoyable experience. Can't wait to try this out when I can. Would love to see a video on the Super Pershing. It will happen one day 🎉
I am fairly new to the game, but after playing Sweden pretty much since the start, the DT has become not only my favorite tank in the game, but during WW2 in general (despite it never really seeing action). A weird vehicle with some scarily devastating abilities.
I would like to see you do a video on arguably the best 5.7 Medium Tank, the Ersatz M10. Even with the engine Nerf a few months ago, it’s still a superb vehicle
I hate this game with passion because of how frustrating it is, but it's fun and entertaining to watch someone play and suffer it while preserving your brain cells and mental health.
Thanks for doing a video on the DT, i think its under appreciated. Before the finish vehicles, this was the mainstay of my line up, up to 7.3. I always had fun zooming in and ambushing 3 or 4 tanks and getting out of there.
Them immediately changing ready rack reloading back to the way it was is a literally just gaijin noticing that the community is having any amount of fun and the grind was even slightly bearable
5:50 thats true, but the simple fact that your hull front plate can bounce german 75mm shells consistantly without angling is a godsend, because an unangled t-34 is usually a fairy easy kill so it baits shots
I’ve got to say Spookston you have taught me a lot about WarThunder for example less ammo on the tiger, panther and also to never trust teammates. Keep making brilliant videos.
Personally I’d love to see a video on either the Type 87 RCV or Type 89 IFV. The RCV seems like a fun, ratty little speedy boi and I’m not sure I’ve seen much 89 gameplay.
I've not played many tanks in the Swedish tree. I certainly haven't unlocked this one yet, but their tanks seem cool. Especially considering the fact they get APDS in Rank 1 vehicles! They were fun!
yep, the quick reload is great for baiting people to pushing out, just like twin cannon tanks. i'll usually use the small gun on multi gun tanks to bait enemies out and then blast em with the main. works 99% of the time
I'd love to see you do a video on the T29, I remember way back in the day it was an absolute menace with how the underplate was basically immune to cooking off the ammo.
the sweds are quite fun to play even on reserve tanks, cant believe they have apds on br 1.0 give the L3/33 a try, i knowyou will love the little shoebox
You should try the Breda 501. It ‘s a great vehicle if it wasn’t for the gunner dummy thicc ass who stick out of the gun sheild and always gets me killed
"Because yeah, it's very satisfying to punch things in the face with a large HE shell, but I also like things that fire very quickly." Spookston has successfully described the Bandkanon.
Fun fact, when people pronounce swedish words (examples: Torn) they put heavy emphasis on the R in torn which isn't how its supposed to sound as O is a vocal, it becomes the letter you put the most emphasis on. making it sound like the word TOON but with a small R afterwards like TOOrn-vagn
Hey this is one I recommended so I'll pretend it's because of that. You might think the armour is worthless because of how thin it looks but it's pretty survivable. Back when Sweden had a number of huge BR gaps, this thing was my workhorse when I was waiting for the SPGs to repair. Nice early autoloader to boot
I love this tank so fucking much you can bait people with the reload and really do planned shots like engine and turret cause the turret traverse of some tanks can’t catch up to the reload (sometimes)
I just unlocked this guy a couple days ago. Been really excited to build out the lineup so I can take it out (how does Sweden go from 2.7 to 5.0 in one or two steps?). Between how much fun you had and how nervous OddBawz gets when he runs into one, I'm looking forward to it.
The Strv m/42 DT does have one of the most painful stock grinds I have ever had though. The reload rate helps a lot getting to tier 4 upgrades to get the APHE. I have also had KV-1's shoot an he shell and overpressure me so gaijin moment for that KV-2
You know, you mentioned the T-34E, and I assume you were talking about the STZ version, but what might make a really interesting video is the premium T-34E, the one with extra side armor. That thing can angle like crazy, and it looks really wacky too.
I feel like the Chi-To either got buffed recently or I just got better at the game. It's now one of those tanks that I can somewhat consistently get four or five kills at a minimum, and it seems to be bouncing shells more often
The Delat Torn is a monster, now imagine if you gave it thermals, an apfsds round, a much bigger first stage, laser rangefinder, a drone and scouting. It would be pretty good, SK-105/JaPz.K A2 kind of good. (Day 26) Also the T-34E is the perfect example of survivorship bias
I was watching this video in class and when you played the pan sound after you killed the pt76, I almost burst out laughing! Would have been awkward because the whole class is quiet.
The funniest thing about that Mark Felton Gaming bit is that he did a WT sponsorship with pack of german tanks for rent in a video published 1 hour ago :D
So one thing, The DT and STRV74 are both vehicles based on the STRV M/42 which is I believe a 2.7 vehicle where the turret has been changed to fit a larger 75mm cannon. the reason why the DT probably has a "Better Chassis" is simply due to the turret weight as the DT is most likely a much lighter vehicle overall.
It is my favorite vehicle. Many people don't know how fast it reloads. I shoot somewhere, and they think "oh he shot mistakenly" so they came out, and I shot the second one
Hey i definitely understand the frustration of an enemy or a friendly dying in the fire but I can't tell u jow many times that has saved me bc while u don't have a shot anymore neither does the enemy u may not see i like to call the phenomenon unwilling spaced armor any love the videos and keep up the good work
Had something I wanted to say but I forgot lol
Damn that's cool and all but Katyusha gameplay when
goober
When Ikv 91 video?
He forgor
he forgor
I always wonder if this thing is considered to be an open-top by the game when it comes to overpressure. If yes, that KV-2 got tremendously Gaijin'd.
I don't think so. I've survived smackdab middle in too many art strikes for me to think it's considered open top.
it doesn't. This thing needs to be patched tho, it can survive 128mm from the front from time to time 💀
It does not count as open top.
@@tigerbesteverything Thats just volumetric though
A KV-2 never gets Gaijined, it's a ruski tank. It's just a skill problem :p
The pen for the APHE used to be like 15mm lower. The change made a big difference between front penning most things and not front penning most things. Really got it over that threshold.
um akshually the schell is akshually apcbc

the Chinese PT-76 was actually the og PT-76 with no stabalizer, easily identifiable by the different muzzle break
And no stabilizer

he did talk about it iirc
@@arima272 yeah but he forgor what he talked about so this is the reminder
Exploding in a cone isn't accurate though..? Who said it was.
@@jimmydesouza4375 It is. One of the good penetration simulation youtubers put it to the test.

Sweden has a lot of cool tanks, they're next on my list after France

Sweden is bonkers tbh, very solid tech tree.
@@ricardohumildebrabo yeah but they ugly, no hate
I've leveled both to 11.0+ and I have to say france has a terrible top tier MBT
Sweden is my main though they have amazing lineups
Good luck with the grind
Mark Felton Gaming
A fun April fools patch would be to have turret collision. Barrel can hit walls, and all that. Would make bushes not go through your optics as much
I think it would be a cool change if you also had to use the gunner sights (like in sim battles) that would also drastically nerf bushes.
Sounds like something that could be a new mode that pushes sim a little further
10:18 - I actually LMAO’d so loud!

@@russman3787 You are correct, I have shot many a vehicle hiding behind truck trailers in this game by firing underneath.
@@keithrogers6876 yeah I always goto the tractor end to try and get cover from being hit in track/wheel area

Spookston that PT-76 you killed at 4:52 was the Chinese variant, which lacks a full stabilizer.
Not sure if anyone has ever mentioned it or not Spooks, but I appreciate your use of hit sound effects that were used in Team Fabulous 2, it's a lovely reminder every time I hear them
I love how I just fought one of these things last night and genuinely struggled with its turret, only for Spookston to make a video talking about it the next day.
The delat torn is such a good vehicle, one of Sweden's highlights imo.
The Felton dig there at the end was just
This is one of my favourite swedish vehicles. When i got it, almost immediately i got a talisman for it in a chest lol, so i grinded through all of swedish tier 3-4. Then came the strv 103-0, which is fantastic, grinded through the rest of Sweden with it, u should definitely try it i think😁

Would love to see a video on the Super Pershing. It will happen one day 🎉
the random images spread throughout the video honestly add so much to the experience
"This is like the HSTVL if it actually did damage"
I love all the sound effects you add to everything, they keep me smiling the whole length of the video
I like how ”Delat Torn” means “a divided tower” in Swedish
I played this tank a LOT, it's really OP at 5.0. If it were a french vehicle, it would be sitting at 5.7 easy.
I am fairly new to the game, but after playing Sweden pretty much since the start, the DT has become not only my favorite tank in the game, but during WW2 in general (despite it never really seeing action). A weird vehicle with some scarily devastating abilities.
Man I was grinning throughout the video but when I saw the Mark Felton Gaming I almost starting crying with laughter
I would like to see you do a video on arguably the best 5.7 Medium Tank, the Ersatz M10. Even with the engine Nerf a few months ago, it’s still a superb vehicle
Thanks Spookston for finally played this vehicle, tbh it's one of my favorite tank in WT
I hate this game with passion because of how frustrating it is, but it's fun and entertaining to watch someone play and suffer it while preserving your brain cells and mental health.
Love the Mark Felton Gaming reference.. that's on point.
Thanks for doing a video on the DT, i think its under appreciated. Before the finish vehicles, this was the mainstay of my line up, up to 7.3. I always had fun zooming in and ambushing 3 or 4 tanks and getting out of there.
Them immediately changing ready rack reloading back to the way it was is a literally just gaijin noticing that the community is having any amount of fun and the grind was even slightly bearable
I'm a german main, currently, and it pains me how bad the teams can be sometimes. I'm actively trying to be a helpful player to balance it out
5:50
thats true, but the simple fact that your hull front plate can bounce german 75mm shells consistantly without angling is a godsend, because an unangled t-34 is usually a fairy easy kill so it baits shots
you could try the is 6, its armour is very trolly and can bounce leopard 1 sabot.
The mark felton callout was HILARIOUS. Extra like if I could give it.
I remember the insane reload rate of ammo, the somua was insanely better during 3 days !
I’ve got to say Spookston you have taught me a lot about WarThunder for example less ammo on the tiger, panther and also to never trust teammates. Keep making brilliant videos.
That PT 76 you killed was the Chinese one and it doesn’t have a full stabilizer
Dude -- including that Mark Felton blip is pure genius.
A much more insane vehicle is the swing fire
The Mark Felton Gaming bit got me so hard. Good content Spooks
Personally I’d love to see a video on either the Type 87 RCV or Type 89 IFV. The RCV seems like a fun, ratty little speedy boi and I’m not sure I’ve seen much 89 gameplay.

Day 5. Hey Spookston, could you play the soviet t-50 light tank? It would fit your playstyle of fast light tanks
yep, the quick reload is great for baiting people to pushing out, just like twin cannon tanks. i'll usually use the small gun on multi gun tanks to bait enemies out and then blast em with the main. works 99% of the time

You should try the Breda 501. It ‘s a great vehicle if it wasn’t for the gunner dummy thicc ass who stick out of the gun sheild and always gets me killed
I was about to ask that
Same for the commander can get machine guned from the front because his model sticks out

Hit the nail on the head with Mark Felton gaming my dude 👌
I love this tank so fucking much you can bait people with the reload and really do planned shots like engine and turret cause the turret traverse of some tanks can’t catch up to the reload (sometimes)
that "settle down ok?" was a perfect danielsl impression
the funny thing is the m42 dt and the strv 74 actually share the same chassis. just the 74 has less rpm for some reason
the "settle down, ok?" at 4:18 triggered something deep in my memory 😭
I just unlocked this guy a couple days ago. Been really excited to build out the lineup so I can take it out (how does Sweden go from 2.7 to 5.0 in one or two steps?). Between how much fun you had and how nervous OddBawz gets when he runs into one, I'm looking forward to it.

The Mark Felton Gaming joke just killed me, i could not expect that
the flood music once you saw the jumbo was perfect
These edits are on point holy shit, I laughed my ass off too much on this one. That being said, kick ass gameplay!
that "settle down ok?" at around 4:10 gave me a flashback to dnsl lol
Spookston in the best tech trees video: Sweden is hard and painful to grind.
Spookston now: "every Swedish tank is my favourite"
Thank you for uploading on my birthday spookston ❤
Hstv-l but actually doing dmg, that really made my day, thank you.
7:50 Aye commander! Brace for impact!

Yo early gang but Spookston you gotta play the Radkampfwagen, it’s super fast and I feel like it fits your play style
JCS is such a solid channel
spat out my water at the Mark Felton Gaming bit, good shit LOL

The EBR, ARL-44, and AMX-13 DCA 40 all make a pretty fun lineup, if I do say so myself (which I do)
It's an amazing tank, got me through situations where I shouldn't have survived and wouldn't have survived if I was in another tank :)
It is my favorite vehicle. Many people don't know how fast it reloads. I shoot somewhere, and they think "oh he shot mistakenly" so they came out, and I shot the second one
Time to see what lineup I bring with this thing
“Wait wait wait I got you tiger” love you videos man
Love 75 mil APHE, just feels so satisfying
Hey i definitely understand the frustration of an enemy or a friendly dying in the fire but I can't tell u jow many times that has saved me bc while u don't have a shot anymore neither does the enemy u may not see i like to call the phenomenon unwilling spaced armor any love the videos and keep up the good work
Spookston lining up every shot be like Frank Castle begging for his family's life
Wait wait wait wait wait
Describing tank parts with human anatomy is great, but is the cannon the nose or the mouth
