Gonna try to record the low tier nuke video sometime this week, wish me luck :))) also lemme know if you liked the editing in this one, I wanna do more involved bits like that part where I "animated" the interaction with Gaijin
I've heard of "cupola-ing" Tigers, "MG port-ing" Jumbos, and "mail slot-ing" KVs", but this is the first time I've heard of "roadwheel-ing", well, anything.
13:04 the Khrizantema-S doesn't even need thermals to shoot through ESS smoke, since it has radar, which also allows it to shoot through the type of smoke that thermals can't see through.
From a quick search, it seems like the M339 is the result of Israel believing the concept of MPAT is silly(and it is), where this is effectively their multipurpose round, meant to target bunkers and APCs, hence their very high fuse distance. The time round is to meant to shoot into the window of a structure and explode in the middle of it.
@@thrillhouse-fiveevery nation surrounding Israel has fought them in the past. It's pretty obvious it's not designed for Hamas or any other Iranian proxy.
6:33 I love how the tank literally is warning you of an incoming laser-guided bomb but Spookston said "nah, I'd win", and didn't even try to evade it lmao.
there's been a few times that i've commented trying to get him to play that tank and when he finally noticed, it was not my comment. either way having heatfs at 4.0 is insane. you can dev bring an ikv 103 up to a 7.0 game
Thank you Spookston, very much You have changed my play style making me a better player.Most importantly you’ve taught me so much about tanks and have really made me find a part of myself that I enjoy.
As someone who spent 8euros on wt like i said, i approve of the fact you get 10 times more targeted by cas and almost every round is an uptier when using the decal
I watched a Documentary from the Bundeswehr on this, but the Leopards do get a programmable HE shell that can be used as a normal He shell, exploding on contact or as a SAP shell. In game it simply has 11mm of pen but it should be more (thats what im guessing, since it says that" it pens fortifications after a certain ammount of time"). Video is called: "Der Kampfpanzer Leopard 2: Technik I Bundeswehr" at minute 4. The Merkava could be joined by a Leopard... correction: im a dumbass and didnt realize that its actually 37mm of pen, doesnt mean you couldnt try it (and i took way to much time making this comment so i wont remove it) Good video btw :D
m339 has a listed penetration for 200mm of double reinforced concrete , would not be surprised if the German one had similar performance. (Who wants to do the math for converting concrete to rha? not me)
@@paintzemute6364 Its quite weak tbh. Kv-2 SAP can go trough like a meter of this stuff (which is why it was build in the first place, to bust lots of concrete).
You can't directly compare steel and concrete as they're different materials that projectiles will behave differently against. I can imagine a big, heavy, and slow projectile does well at penetrating concrete but it pretty awful for penetrating steel.
Just tried it on PvE with the STRV 122, can confirm, you can one shot anything as long as you can see their roadwheels at a 90° angle. For leopards and challengers, the commander's port seems like a big hindrance.
The fact that this still works and made my first 11.3 tank bearable is hilarious to me. Never did I ever think this would still be a thing by the time I unlocked the merkava 3B when this video came out.
Gaijin released the 2024 roadmap and for the summer update there is a mention of adding more options on how to use shells with fuzes, so perhaps that would make it easier to use this shell with a rangefinder, if you can disable the time fuze and just use the shell in the point detonation delay mode after rangefinding. there is a mention of reworking how APHE shells work to be more realistic as well, although that change will depend on a community vote.
I like how people, experienced in WT, react to munitions actualy dealing damage in their game. This says alot about gaijin game design. Its literally 4.77 kg TNT hitting you at 3240 km/h or blowing under your tank (wich is close to regular AT mine). There is no reason for it not to kill or heavy damage the tank. Also its only found on Israeli tanks wich are used only by like 1% of player base, so probably noone notice.
4:40 Thats the equivelant of everyone saying to shoot the Jumbos MG port (thats covered in bushes, and 500 meters away), then saying its a skill issue when you die.
Day 18 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.
11:42 I had that happen to me, except it was the FV4005's HESH against a panther's mantlet. First shell ricocheted off the barrel, the second just phased out of existence after landing between his hull roof and matlet. :(
Meanwhile, Gaijin: "LOL No comrade, please just buy the 2S38 or SU-39. We're on that Top-Tier drug now, adding new WWII vehicles into the game are a thing of past for us.".
Hey Spook, I’ve recently gotten the is4-m and so far it’s been pretty fun. Ik heavy tanks aren’t your thing, but in a downtier it’s amazing to watch tiger 2 shells ping off you. Can just imagine them wheraboos seething with rage which just makes my day. Anyways, enjoy your day and best wishes. Your videos are why I keep playing
Lol that’s very fair, I still find myself getting a little ticked off when a bmp keeps chucking missiles at me when I gotta face them. And ofc, can’t forget that demonic Zsu-57
im seeing alot of people suggest stuff instead of watching the amazing vid good job on the vid and the merkava is one of my favorite tank so its nice seeing it
If I understand correctly this shell is designed to penetrate 200mm of concrete bunkers and to use delayed detonation so hopefully they dont change it's performance too much.
I did some experiments sometimes ago, you can actually use the Merk's HE to kill a BVM simply by aiming at the cheek (yes, the entire cheek area), and the T-90M by aiming at the commander sight. Truly broken overpressure.
The M339 or Hatzav (squill in hebrew) as it's known in the IDF isn't a timed fused projectile in real life, it's essentially a SAPHE that's meant to be used against buildings and light vehicles. Source: I'm a Merkava crew member.
This ammo is working as intended, from my research into it. A nerf would be unwarranted. Manufacturer says the delay fuse can penetrate 200mm of reinforced concrete, and that amount of armor in game is equal to 65mm RHA. Knowing this, I'm sure somebody will incorrectly claim this ammo is in need of a "fix"; but the tech mods *should* shut them down for being wrong. Snail should add more NATO 120mm ammo types to the game. It's been past time for ages that Leclerc gets M3M HE, and M1A2 gets M908 HE-OR-T ammo. Maybe even XM1147 for some more fun. Nothing can save US teams from being useless, but maybe some more ammo will be nice for the handful of good players to mess around with.

It’s not Russian so they probably will fix it

Been 2 months. Do you know if they "fixed" the round?
It's not a bug so no need for a fix. That is how the round behaves irl.

@@password6025 Well I mean, bunkers and 'apartment building' nowaday is pretty similar in function for infantry nowadays...
Iirc this round (IRL) is capable of punching through ~200mm of reinforced concrete and detonating on the other side. This stuff is insane.

I love how the tank literally is warning you of an incoming laser-guided bomb but Spookston said "nah, I'd win", and didn't even try to evade it lmao.

Another ammo that's insane is the Ikv 103s HEAT-FS shell with 400 mm of pen.
It works even at 8.7 :D
@tqit3173 that's where it works the best. quite useless at 4.0 and works best at 6.7-9.0
