@@emmettmccosker Gaijin partnered with some CCs to host a charity event called play4peace around Christmas 2021, they had a link they intended for new players for free Tier 1 vehicles and 7 days of premium. I say intended because nowhere on the actual link did it say new players only, and the link worked for existing accounts too. Gaijin tried to backpedal, took away the vehicles from players and indebted their accounts to whatever amount of premium they used and retroactively changed the link and then claimed it always said new players only, which was immediately debunked when people simply used the waybackmachine. TL;DR Gaijin committed Fraud over 7 days of premium because they didn't double check their own charity event link. Some people will claim it wasn't fraud because they didn't INTEND to defraud people, but that's only in the US. In Canada, the UK and EU at least fraud does not need mens rea and simply the act itself is needed to count as fraud(Under S.4 of the CRA 2015 in the UK and dunno the exact laws in Canada and EU). Gaijin eventually undid all the indebting once people caught them but man they really did commit fraud over during a charity event, that is a low few people would ever sink to. And over $5 worth of premium no less.
@@emmettmccoskerThe snail held an event a few years ago that basically gave new players 1k GE or something like that. Already existing players could also use the code, which was not intended by the snail. Existing players that used the code basically went into debt, as any GE they bought after would go to repaying that debt, and not give them the GE they payed for. This and a few other reasons is why most of the people only see the snail as a pos company that only cares about profits. and why most forums argue about whether something could be added without hurting the "Profits". (premium vehicles, ge, cash flow basically)
@@emmettmccosker Back in 21, Gaijin had a event going, usual thing you see in ads of 'new people get X premiums vehicles and Y premium time" and had an invite link. But they *didn't program the link properly properly*, so existing players could use it to just grab a week's worth of premium time for free. Even people who didn't know this, you could only really tell by seeing the premium reward text grayed out yet still claim it, wound up getting the extra. When Gaijin fixed it, they labeled it as an Exploit, and anyone who had more than a week's premium time when they claimed the reward got their account slapped with a debit of however much of that premium time the user had consumed. TL;DR: Gaijin made a technical error, people grabbed premium they weren't supposed to have, Gaijin penalized them instead of saying mea culpa.

Okay, but old carriers literally were the only player that mattered in a match. The game was literally a 1v1 with a bunch of other people who didn't matter.
@@Folly_Indscompletely true. I remember when CVs were literally, as you said, the only thing that mattered in a game, to the point that if you weren’t a CV, you were playing the game wrong because it was just the meta. I’m absolutely unashamed in saying I’m glad they were gimped, because that shit was absolute trash.
@@Folly_IndsTo be fair, if the topic is realism then that is how the Pacific Campaign went. Carriers were the artery of any battle group and the rest of the ships were left to either protect the CV or scout for enemy contact.
They recently "Nerfed" Subs, but then secretly buffed them at the same time. They made it so that below 2km, torpedoes do less damage. But, they also gave out a 15% damage buff to all alternate torpedoes a Sub gets.
Hey Spook, I hope the surgery goes well, when you get better could you play the Vickers Mk.11? It’s a British wheeled vehicle at 8.7 that nobody plays for some reason
@Spookston "Ground and submarines don't go together. Me: "Yup they are not fun to be in when they crash." Spookston shows a picture of the Sub I crashed in, the SSN 711 San Francisco @ dry dock in Guam. Me " ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME.."
I remember then the public test first came out for subs, and you could initially chose your preferred depth, I would go to 5.9 meters depth because you can still regen dive capacity while being as hidden as possible
So as a wows sub player few things to note -Recently they made it so below 3km sub toros do fuck all damage -You can use the white outline as a guide to land torps -Alt torps do more damage but are slower and can’t home in -Don’t get spotted if you do ya got a 95% death rate
Hi Spookston! welcome to the game! About your sub gameplay, you might wanna know that sub torpedoes have a 3 km arming range in this game, this is because at the start players would attemp "shotgun maneuvers" on other ships and it was impossible to dodge. this might be why you couldnt kill that cruiser on 8:30. hopefully you enjoy the game a bit more!
A new video of Spookston nice, makes me want to play my U-boats again kinda. Make every other ship join you in your depths but only you shall rise back out onto the surface of the waters!
Honestly the Battle of the Atlantic event in WarThunder is some of the most fun I have had. Both going submerged in the U-Boats, and hunting them in my favourite destroyer, the Fletcher Class. The metal creaking and bending and the pitch black water when underwater was so scary yet so amazing. Felt like I was in both Das Boot and in Greyhound
6:56 mine are definitely battle cruisers. They’re powerful enough to destroy almost anything, and fast enough to outrun the few things they can’t destroy. And they look so freaking cool
Anyone remember when WoWS wasn't supposed to get subs? Something about being able to nuke and sink ships, before they could do a thing. Or in the opposite case, having your sub nuked before you do anything.
probably like a year ago I made a comment about how much I like your content and always watch it when eating and don't even play war thunder myself because somehow its just something to shut down and laugh along with. Well I'm *really* sick rn and dont currently feel hunger. So I begin watching this video and I feel my stomach kinda wake up, this is gonna keep me alive lol (also dw it's apparently nothing serious it's just the maximum of things like fever, coughing and headaches that can be considered not serious)
Day 38 You should play a tank with hydropneumatic suspension (recommend the MBT-70) But the catch is you have to drop the suspension as low as it can go for the whole match.
Spookston you need a guide (stay above water before you are spotted and use this for a speed advantage then if you can try to doge bullets by swerving like turn left right ect make sure you turn in the direction of the bullets if there close because you go faster than the Bullet destination is because you turn slow and get hit I'm saying not directly into the bullets but swerving makes you a hard target and you can go into a direction that when you stay in that direction you will start to go faster than turning away but it is most recommended if you want to play safe sink whenever they start firing the bullets the previous is for pros but it's recommended just thinking whenever it is fire and then rising again to make them waste their bullets every time they fire go down and then rise for 02 and I mean sink rise sink rise in short periods wastes enemy bullets and save 02 your best strategy to guarantee hits is to get close and then fire torpedoes put one thing with war thunder mobile is that the torpedoes only reload on the surface okay if you're going to read this 1 stay on surface as much as you can until you're spotted try to take cover behind any Islands or even allies so you can get up as close as possible to your target 2 more time on surface equals more time speed whenever your torpedoes are at a distance and are near an island and also farther in distance than the island don't fire. 3 never go directly behind a ship they have a these barrels that they put into the water that explode and hurt submarines even if they're at a very deep depth while ships speed off and even if they're in the fire zone they don't usually take much damage 4 just like in tank battles always avoid planes unless you're an AA specialist submarines don't really have much of any armor planes can just drop bomb s or they can even shoot you causing little but some damage 5 don't try fighting other submarines with torpedoes if you have a main Cannon use that if your enemy has a main Canon and you don't stay away from that submarine your best bet is actually going for ships that ships are an easier Target. 6 unless you're a Target has bad Wi-Fi bad Fps , bad attention or doesn't know how to turn, don't fire from a long distance anyone smart we tried to dodge the torpedoes at least in war thunder you can see torpedoes if they can't see torpedoes then you might not have a problem 7 when submarines are underwater they usually go slower so ships end up going faster. 8 you can try creating your own custom types of moves whether it be swerving whenever the anime fires at you and knowing when to stop swerving you can do that were any other pro move out there use that play the pro moves are usually commonly for rare situations. Whenever you can use a pro move use it 9 for upgrades dryer to make sure you get as much crew on board as possible. Bring as many med kits then fpe then repair. Also always repair underwater that's where you want to spend O2 repairing and healing your crew. But of course you got to take care of fire asap because fire can be the most deadly thing on your submarine besides continuous attack. Anyways my way of playing submarines is usually not stealthy.
Subs actually got changed just a few days ago so their torpedoes do less damage if you're close to the enemy. Not sure why they did that because it really incentivizes selfish and scummy play but hey... Not my game to publish :3 Also, pinging the same sector twice ("double pinging") is going to significantly improve the homing and make it very hard to dodge torpedoes. Alternate torpedoes (the ones with the line in the icon) do not turn to chase a target and basically act like destroyer torpedoes. They're a good option when you are fighting an aware enemy and need to not be noticed by your pings. Thanks for the video~!
7:00 Fun fact: submarines arent considerd ships by the US Navy. Theyre pretty much the only vessel they call boats. Then again they do carry the usual USS (United States *Ship*) designation
Hey Spookston, as someone who works at a museum that has a Balao-class submarine on display, I just wanted to let you know that "Balao" is pronounced "BUH-LAY-OH". It's also interesting to note that the submarine you are playing is in GUPPY (Greater Underwater Propulsion Power Program) configuration, which was a post-WWII US Navy program to increase underwater performance of fleet submarines. The USS Balao herself did not receive GUPPY upgrades, but many members of her class did.
Do you not have aft tubes? Balao (and other US late war subs) had 10 tubes in all; 6 forward and 4 aft. The standard tactic was to launch the bow tubes, turn 180 degrees, while reloading, and fire the stern tubes as you run away.
Important to note, for some of the torp launches, you used the non-homing torpedoes. Pinging the target would do nothing for you except give away your location.
I think was Spookston didn't realize is that sup torpedoes now do less damage if they if they have traveled less than 3 km. So, they do full damage at 3 km. It is great to see him try out subs. I am bad at them.
best captains skill is the 4 point blades. it gives an insane 18 percent boost to speed when below 50 percent dive capacity both on and below the surface.
You can't do full line-ups in WoWS or WoT. You pick your vehicle and you get one life per match, so if you die you can either spectate or go back to the hangar. That is actually one thing I like about those games over WT. It forces you to slow down and plan ahead, gauge risk vs reward. The downside is that some people play too cautiously and wind up costing their team dearly by not being in range to deal damage to the enemy or share armor. Carriers have some of the best AA in WoWS and a decent amount of hit points, but most carrier captains hug the back edge of the map, leaving their team more exposed to enemy bombers than they should be.
TRY 182 of BEGGING to play my favorite light tank Rooikat MTTD. Its insane fast, mobile, has great gun and bounces a lot of rounds while being paper thin PERFECT for our fellow rat person
Haven't watched the video yet but heres some tips: Submarines torpedoes have an arming range of 3km, when you fire them within this range their damage is greatly reduced (This is to prevent players from 'shotgunning') (they are reduced to something like 1/10th damage) Depths should be used in different situations (0 when no enemy's are present) (10 when you can see enemies but the are not close) (30 when you are at risk of being spotted) (60 fighting other subs, provides increased dive capacity) Changing your dive level slows you down, panic diving to the depths is unwise. Generally if you have been spotted you are already dead Do not over extend from your team, this is the main killer of sub players (and any player really) Target ships that are over extending from their team. If spotted dive to 30 and change course 90°, this will help you avoid depth charges.
You could try playing Ise (if you have it that is, it is a premium ship). its a hybrid battleship that has torpedo bombers. It isn't very effective, but it is still quite fun to play.
It does not, Warships is more arcade than realistic. It is a fun game though if you can put up with arcade style game play, and don't fall into the echo chambers of a lot of the CCs. Who mostly seem to hate things just to have things to hate.
Day 4 of waiting for Spookston to play 8.8cm Flugzeugabwehrkanone 37 Selbstfahrlafette auf 18 ton Zugkraftwagen (Sonderkraftfahrzeug 9). In both AAA and AT roles.
Even though I have 1700 hours in war thunder over 10 years, I have actually played World of Warships (sporadically) throughout the years and even have the Bismarck. Grinded to the Colorado class in the U.S. tree as well.
Hey Pookie you should try the Marder III H but up to like Tiger BR, its got the same gun as the pak puma and its weak to cas so it seems right up your alley
Submarines always were and still are my favorite ship class as well. Tho i also love carriers. Their both so cool and unique looking to me and feel a lot more unique and strategic in their usage then the regular surface ships which just feel blank and basic to me.
Hey I work on one of those lol, though unless my eyesight is bad, the versions in game are entirely missing their deck guns, which is kinda unfortunate. Still cool though
Just so you know, that disturbed feeling you are getting when you see the ships sinking underwater is not thalassophobia, that is what you would call submechanophobia!
yeah they changed subs recently where you have to be atleast 3km away from ships to do full damage with torps, it doesnt say it anywhere ingame tho which sucks

But of course you got to take care of fire asap because fire can be the most deadly thing on your submarine besides continuous attack.
Anyways my way of playing submarines is usually not stealthy.
Subs actually got changed just a few days ago so their torpedoes do less damage if you're close to the enemy.
Not sure why they did that because it really incentivizes selfish and scummy play but hey... Not my game to publish :3
Also, pinging the same sector twice ("double pinging") is going to significantly improve the homing and make it very hard to dodge torpedoes.
Alternate torpedoes (the ones with the line in the icon) do not turn to chase a target and basically act like destroyer torpedoes. They're a good option when you are fighting an aware enemy and need to not be noticed by your pings.
Thanks for the video~!
They did it cause battleship players where crying that they get shotgunned when one slips through the cruiser/destroyer screens and smacks em
@@dasji2 and now it's just painful to play sub :(
7:00 Fun fact: submarines arent considerd ships by the US Navy. Theyre pretty much the only vessel they call boats. Then again they do carry the usual USS (United States *Ship*) designation
You mean "aren't"?
@@alexanderd6793 ffs
@@RepChris dw mate, it happens lol, the rest is really interesting tho, thanks for sharing!
Hey Spookston, as someone who works at a museum that has a Balao-class submarine on display, I just wanted to let you know that "Balao" is pronounced "BUH-LAY-OH".
It's also interesting to note that the submarine you are playing is in GUPPY (Greater Underwater Propulsion Power Program) configuration, which was a post-WWII US Navy program to increase underwater performance of fleet submarines. The USS Balao herself did not receive GUPPY upgrades, but many members of her class did.
Spookston could you play the m3 bradley or the m3a3 bradley i just want to see the diffrence between the m3 and the "loved" warrior
I remember when Submarines were announced to come to WoW's soon, roughly 5 years ago
Do you not have aft tubes? Balao (and other US late war subs) had 10 tubes in all; 6 forward and 4 aft. The standard tactic was to launch the bow tubes, turn 180 degrees, while reloading, and fire the stern tubes as you run away.
Balao does have it's 6/4 config, guessing Spookston just didn't notice he had the extra tubes on the aft.
something about them sponsoring you is funny to me
Play the new Christian II premium tank, its new and very op!
Important to note, for some of the torp launches, you used the non-homing torpedoes. Pinging the target would do nothing for you except give away your location.
Nice to see that the cashcow Wargaming is back supporting the channel
I think was Spookston didn't realize is that sup torpedoes now do less damage if they if they have traveled less than 3 km. So, they do full damage at 3 km. It is great to see him try out subs. I am bad at them.
you should play the ki 48 II Otsu in war thunder and use the cruise missile that it has (it's at a BR of 2.3 and can one shot a lepard 2 PL)
Oddbawz, Spooky, and Flamu would be a fun boat time. The dream meme team.
best captains skill is the 4 point blades. it gives an insane 18 percent boost to speed when below 50 percent dive capacity both on and below the surface.
It’s always a good day when spookston uploads
Also, you should try playing an entire lineup for a video
You can't do full line-ups in WoWS or WoT. You pick your vehicle and you get one life per match, so if you die you can either spectate or go back to the hangar. That is actually one thing I like about those games over WT. It forces you to slow down and plan ahead, gauge risk vs reward. The downside is that some people play too cautiously and wind up costing their team dearly by not being in range to deal damage to the enemy or share armor. Carriers have some of the best AA in WoWS and a decent amount of hit points, but most carrier captains hug the back edge of the map, leaving their team more exposed to enemy bombers than they should be.
@@joskarifinaukr6503 oh I meant in one of his usual WT videos lol
You know I really feel like submarines are one of the closer equivalents to your rat king play style in this.
Souns like Spookston may have submechanophobia, the fear of seeing sunken machines
TRY 182 of BEGGING to play my favorite light tank Rooikat MTTD.
Its insane fast, mobile, has great gun and bounces a lot of rounds while being paper thin
PERFECT for our fellow rat person
Submechanophobia is the actual phobia you're looking for, fear of man-made submerged objects.
Haven't watched the video yet but heres some tips:
Submarines torpedoes have an arming range of 3km, when you fire them within this range their damage is greatly reduced (This is to prevent players from 'shotgunning') (they are reduced to something like 1/10th damage)
Depths should be used in different situations (0 when no enemy's are present) (10 when you can see enemies but the are not close)
(30 when you are at risk of being spotted) (60 fighting other subs, provides increased dive capacity)
Changing your dive level slows you down, panic diving to the depths is unwise.
Generally if you have been spotted you are already dead
Do not over extend from your team, this is the main killer of sub players (and any player really)
Target ships that are over extending from their team.
If spotted dive to 30 and change course 90°, this will help you avoid depth charges.
Oh no spooks is playing a game where he is surrounded by seamen. I feel bad for the good sub bottom boi doggo 😢
You could try playing Ise (if you have it that is, it is a premium ship). its a hybrid battleship that has torpedo bombers. It isn't very effective, but it is still quite fun to play.
spookston submechanophobia moment
I LOVE SPONSORED CONTENT I LOVE SPONSORED CONTENT
I've never played World of Warships, does it feature the historically accurate US torpedoes that sometimes bounced off of hulls?
It does not, Warships is more arcade than realistic. It is a fun game though if you can put up with arcade style game play, and don't fall into the echo chambers of a lot of the CCs. Who mostly seem to hate things just to have things to hate.
Day 4 of waiting for Spookston to play 8.8cm Flugzeugabwehrkanone 37 Selbstfahrlafette auf 18 ton Zugkraftwagen (Sonderkraftfahrzeug 9).
In both AAA and AT roles.
4:09 Fun fact: The speed of sound in water is ~4x as fast as that of air.
One would assume that spook read what subs do before playing. But now we get realistic depiction of average sub player
Mind blowing fact: All of earth's surface is land, its just that 70% of them is underwater
Attempt number 2 at asking Spookston to play the M4A3(76)
Day 1 of asking spookston to play the M4A3 (105) HE kills tanks and sometimes not
Not me just casually forgetting the existence of naval vessel matchmaking.
Even though I have 1700 hours in war thunder over 10 years, I have actually played World of Warships (sporadically) throughout the years and even have the Bismarck. Grinded to the Colorado class in the U.S. tree as well.
"That didn't do as much damage as I thought it would" American submarine captains for most of the war
Even on/under the water, the planes gotta mess with our man Spookston.
Watch him play Cold Waters, and then the helicopters and Tu-95 Bear-dropped torpedoes come into play.
At least it's not a human being toxic this time.
“Relatively new class” dude, subs have been in game for at least 3 years already
When I heard the title I thought war thunder added sumbarines
Hey Pookie you should try the Marder III H but up to like Tiger BR, its got the same gun as the pak puma and its weak to cas so it seems right up your alley
Hey spookston theres this tank called the 15cm SLG it is a sturmtiger but at 1.0 AND has a actual reload
Aw!!! i really got my hopes up that they were gonna add subs to warthunder since they were added before for a short amount of time :(
Love ur vids man keep it up
Love your videos. Would you consider playing the C2A1? Would love to see how one of my country's old MBT's performs in game.
Day 36 of asking Spookston to play either the AB-41 or AB-43 (sad italian tanks)
Day one of asking spooks to play the T26E1-1
"how not to play submarines" is the best description of this video😂❤
Submarines always were and still are my favorite ship class as well. Tho i also love carriers. Their both so cool and unique looking to me and feel a lot more unique and strategic in their usage then the regular surface ships which just feel blank and basic to me.
It's kinda funny that in war thunder you can't play as a submarine
but in war thunder mobile you can
My first thought was: Did I miss an update?
Same, I thought submarines were back in another event lol
Yes! Please more naval combat spookston!
Hey I work on one of those lol, though unless my eyesight is bad, the versions in game are entirely missing their deck guns, which is kinda unfortunate. Still cool though
Spookston being haunted by planes no matter the game...
Just so you know, that disturbed feeling you are getting when you see the ships sinking underwater is not thalassophobia, that is what you would call submechanophobia!
Even when it comes to ships, Spookston prefers the ratty ones :P
wooooooo we made it day 10 of asking spookston to play the BTR-80A
Let’s go spookston torture video!!!
this feels like a video spookston would make
yeah they changed subs recently where you have to be atleast 3km away from ships to do full damage with torps, it doesnt say it anywhere ingame tho which sucks
Spookston, play the WW2 fox that is the AEC Mk II
The documentary Down Periscope has the proper pronunciation of the class of submarine.
Shame Spookston did not realise he had tubes on the stern as well!
Spookston you should play the m60a1 (aos). Youd think it would be not very good because its an American tank but the thing is actually a beast
Fun fact, you have 2 types of torps, homing and regular. Stop ignoring the normal torps, they are incredibly powerful.
Day 22 of asking spookston to play the chi ha short gun
Love the way spookston pronounces balao lol
