This is probably the only spookston vid ill ever watch where im better than him with the featured tank. You absolutely cannot expose the front half under any circumstance. You must using buildings as cover, You can always peak while only exposing 1 crew this way. I almost never die to HE because of the br. Planes are annoying yes but thats every open top. The key with this tank is its amazing accuracy combined with the rangefinder and its aphe holds pen very well at range. Oh and the great reload means you will always get a second shot at range before they can fully react. After playing it enough you can kind of feel what terrain you should not drive through.
Couldn't have that better myself. This truck has it's issues (like gun depression), yeah, but if you don't expose your front side you'll be mostly fine, and the gun is basically one shot one kill. You just gotta get used to gameplay tactics of this truck and you'll be a killer machine
trust guys this vehicle is good. You just have to sit at range, avoid cas, hit your shots, get a long-range map, have an ace crew, not get caught off guard in any circumstances, not get shot by any high explosive rounds, sit in a position where you have gun depression, are preferably hull down, and can cover most of your vehicle (you know, those spots that there's only like 8 of), and not get artyed. See guys it's easy why don't ya'll play this vehicle? Super situational vehicles are bad in wt and usually boring to play.
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 12)
Recently spaded it, got the green camo, never touching it again. I only played it when i got abandoned factory so i could yeet missles over the walls at A
Yag-10 is one of the few examples of these that were actually an SPAAG and not just a tank destroyer that happened to use an AA gun. One of the reasons it dosent have a gun shield.
I love how these manual crank guns will also shut off when shutting off the vehicle ignition (and battery drains out). The turrets should still work same speed even tho the engine is off, but they don't.
You sure? "Is my rotation crank based or battery based?" was always a contributing factor to my decision on keeping an engine off at low battery or idling to bring that charge up. Because every crank-primary turret I've used rotates at the same speed, battery or no.
3:12 The War Thunder driver model has a tendency to upshift too early. When you get stuck at a low speed like this it can help to switch into manual mode and force the transmission into a lower gear before switching back to automatic.
@@cinnamon_enjoyer4302 you can set it up in controls for ground battles, you set keys to up/downshift and it will always override whatever the driver was doing I think you can disable automatic shifting too
Play the M4A3 (105) (the french variant for extra fun),it has EVERYTHING Spookston -despises- loves; slow reload,slow speed,slow turret turning speed,slow ammo velocity AND, because it's so slow,you can -regret your life decisions- plan your strike on the enemy team! (that you will fail because the round will end before your turret turns.)
ive proposed that a while ago but if you play to its strengths (aka solid armor, especially the front, and high pen/damage heat) it becomes a pretty solid brawler for its BR. when i was painfully grinding france i uptiered that and had some success with it. just suffers at range and slow turret traverse
I remember my 2019 younger self just sniping with this thing across maps because I was not good in close quarter battles... This thing carried me through the Russiun Techtree...
I think with vehicles like this the most important part that lots of youtubers miss is how it fits into a lineup. Sure you’re much better off taking out the T-34 or 25mm milk trucks if you’re not using any other vehicles, but if you’re already taking those and you want another playstyle the yag 10 offers two things the other ussr vehicles at it’s br don’t: good pen aphe with good damage (sure it’s only 20mm more than the sherman but it’s also only 15mm less than the pz4f2), and a good reload. As an ok vehicle that fills its niche it’s worth taking out. As for why people uptier it so much, literally just because funny big pen number go brr, i used it up to 4.0 comfortably but it was all but useless by 4.7
Every time I request artillery, Bosansnka Artiljerija starts blasting in my head. It always end with friendly fire(historically accurate) Day 31 of asking Spookston to play with a controller
Attempt 69 (Nice!) Challenge: For high tier support a nations MBT with its respective APC/IFV counterpart (ie Abrams/Bradley, T90/BMP2M, etc.) Challenge is keeping the other player alive and supporting it without stealing kills (breaking barrels, tracking, repairing, etc) it being a random should help make it interesting.
considering you didn't reaaaaaaly like this, I'd love to see you try out the Breda 90/53. It's this, but you know all the mobility you don't have with the YaG? yeah, there's less with the Breda. you do get the hilarious Italian 90mm as compensation, though also, touch some grass man holy shit. you came out of a massive op. take some time
Spookston you should play the bosvark, because uts a comically fucking huge gun truck with the comically small looking twin 23mm frok the BTR-ZD If not the G6 rhino is also fun because it's probably the largest gun on a wheeled vehicle in WT, and it's actually quite fast for its size and hauls around a very big boom stick and gets HEVT
As a Russian main, I get hyped every time I see you use a Russian vehicle they I use. The yag-10 taught me to love vehicles besides heavy tanks. Keep up the great work, Spookston!
That t34 at the beginning was a true hero even if he failed. And I swear but using the flac bus or this in CqC from what I have played are actually better than normal tanks like 60% of the time. Edit-spelling corrections
Day 38 of telling spookston to play the IT1. its a ATGM launcher on the t62 chassis, it has decent-ish mobility, the turret is squished. You can hide behind cover and shoot ATGM over the cover like a gremlin and you overpressure tanks (tho it can be rare, but it does happen without you realizing) and its MG is really werid. Also it has a cool reload animation.
You know what is the best milktruck in the game?the Breda 90/53! 1. Basically no depression 2. Light to no armor, it's the perfect prey for CAS and .50 M2 3. Its 90mm has a 6s reload and Rangefinder 4. You can't shoot forward basically 5. Your APHE has so much HE filler that you can overpressure even medium tanks All of this at 4.0,meaning that the only things you aren't able to pen from the front are the Churchill VII and the KV-1B
I started watching you like 2 days ago and I am addicted to your content I even got your decal and was going to get 1000GE to get myself a lowtier Italian Tank to start grind the Italian tree
Lancia 3Ro is one of the bust large caliber trucks in the game, because it has a machine gun When driving you can just set your howitzer sideways and switch to MG, so it remains like that This way when facing the enemy you just need to turn your vehicle and don't have to wait till your armament does it too
Used to play this gun truck a lot, i found this spot where i could reverse the rear of the truck and hence the gun up in a elevated position, front hidden away by a rock.. the truck was essentially on its nose. got soooo many kills, such a fun game.
8:29 that Spj driver could happily have deleted you if he had eyes instead of weird behaviour, that hurts my soul to see my baby handled so abominably.
Day 142 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.
I found that with wheeled tanks that have low horse power, that cargo port map's terrain behaves like soft terrain and just slows you way way down for no apparent reason whatsoever. Had that issue in my Ratel too. Day 33: I Implore you to play the Rooikat Mk.1D. Its fast, it can resist 50cals to the front, and its cannon tickles enemies to death.
ahh yes truck with gun the most creative name in the entire world lol. The truck with gun is good lol also it's good to see your channel has evolved fr fr
Day 210 of asking Spookston to play the Rooikat 105. It is a 9.3 tank, but it is probably the funnest high tier Gremlin that I know from the British Tech Tree (A.K.A. from the South Africans).
I have an idea for a video. You choose a vehicle vulnerable to CAS and you have someone like Odd to play an SPAA who runs CAS defense specifically for you. Spookston with dedicated CAS protection sounds interesting lol
It's been two years since I started playing Warthunder, and somehow this vehicle is still number 1 on my scoreboard, despite not having played it in a long time.

AVANTI SAVOIA, I WILL NOT BE LATE NEXT TIME!

2:00 Insert subtle foreshadowing meme
Day Eighty four of asking Spookston to play the SU-100 (The one based on the T-34).
Once again, you've got some mad commitment.
Nah Spooks, the YaG-10 is really good. It punches well above it's class
It would be nice to have spookston play the A27M Cromwell 1 historical would be pretty neat
