The Soviet KV-1 is already a very tough heavy tank to crack in War Thunder. When you throw some additional armor plating onto it, you get something that is nigh on invincible. That is exactly what the KV-1E is. It's probably the closest thing the tech tree has to the American M4A3E2 Sherman Jumbo. All the plate edges combined with volumetric shells basically give you your own Gaijin powered APS.

The Soviet Jumbo Tank
Best fight in KV-1B is meeting a KV-1E, it's a fencing match to the death.
Oi a wild Robbaz has appeared! Would love to see another Kock video. Nothing better than seeing a Swedish man play with his meat.
what the fuck
Robbaz is still alive? Robbaz plays Warthunder?
Love you big guy
HE LIVES
Where are the videos Robert? Where are they?
well now that you mentioned it, it would be fun to see you play the bt-7 F-32 since it does suit your play style.
I second this
I third this!
I fourth this
I fifth this
I six this
The feeling when you shoot a KV-1 in the side and it doesn't pen is terrifying
*fule tank eats the solid shot
@@JimmySaulGoodmanMcGill1960 the price you pay for being br*tish
Seriously. With how many times I have shot a KV1 in the lower side with the 75 and it non pens baffles me how it is still so low in BR.
Then you are probably playing an italian tank.
Even the HEAT of the anti tank don't penetrate
For the e shoot the lower hull, no armor plates there
Spook: complains about lack of stabilizer
Also Spook: hits a bunch of shots on the move
KV-1s are probably one of the most terrifying tanks to see at low tier for me, I suck at fighting them
Hit the cheeks one shot or 2 shot
They actually are, I love And hate the damn things
If you need an easy shot, try and do the drivers port or the turret sides, like anpanther
@@blu5021 holy shit thank you, was wondering how to kill these damned things
@@ravenishere69420 yeah, if you have 100+ mm of pen, try and just hit driver port. Most tanks at 3.0-5.7 have similar weakspots to it as well, the flat plate at leadt
The German KV-1 Jumbo was easily the most overpowered vehicle for a while. Since you never went against German cannons, you just didn't die! Insanely good tank that I wish I had.
if you like light tanks, you may like the type 60 SPRG, basically the M56 but with 2 recoilless rifles
I bounced a Pershings 90mm off one of these UFP and I had to take a break from the game

3:10 when i started first playing Russia, years and years ago, the shrapnel shells would blacken every crew member and part of a light tank, including the tracks...on the rare occasion it actually penetrated.
fun fact, the churchill 7 (and i think 3) has a massive weakspot on the rear hull, the toolbox isn't armored and theres a hole in the side armor behind it, you can shoot mg's in it and it will set it on fire and also hit the engine.
while this isn't some amazing one hit kill thing, but it means if you're in an SPAA or if your main gun gets CBT'd you can still fight one
Also, the roof armour isnt modeled
@@dylanholven6375 it counts as open tops? Do bombs just destroy them?
Also there are holes in the armour model behind the idler wheel, hose them down with HE from AA and you could just find it and get the kill. It is honestly full of weak spots from a poor armour model.
@DatBoi_TheGudBIAS It doesn't technically count as open topped, 75mm HE won't just kill it, it is allergic to even moderate amounts of HE though.
Stop betraying the awesome Churchill VII
@@dylanholven6375 yeah the roof is like, 20mm sloped at like 20 degrees meaning anything larger then 50mm just overpens.
You should play some of the French autoloaders! Either the AMX M4, Lorraine 40t, Char 25t or AMX 50 would be neat to see!
7:37
I love the KV-1E, its protected and have great shells. i wish i had it before it was gone.
You didn't buy it..? I mean sure it costed money but it wasn't too pricey
@@WarFoxThunder yeah i was going to get it but i didnt have the money for it, until the last day where i had it and it went offsale unfortunately.
@@itscarl381 ahhh darn, im sorry to hear that. if you ever wanna play with a kv1e, lemme know in this reply section.
@@itscarl381 PriscillaTheFox
Kind of annoying they added it back for a day. I had it before and no one had it or new how to counter it. Now there is 1-2 in every match.
The swedish strv 42/DT can be pretty crazy. That autoloader mixed with good pen and post pen damage makes it a bit of a tiger killer at 5.0. Maybe you can make a vid on that?
I’m honestly struggling to play this thing, maybe I’m stupid and I haven’t unlocked the good shell yet, but any tips?
@@Jimmy-pc9qe I would say just be careful it has some real light armor, but beyond that its pretty good with everything else. The best ammos has like 140+ pen with a 4 or 5 second reload and it has good explosive mass. just play it slow and perform some flanks and you're gold
dude its unlike anything else to get a full on flank in with, some of the most fun in warthunder sometimes
@@Jimmy-pc9qe the good shell is MILES better than the stock one. Priotitize that over everything else.
This is obviously Soviet propaganda can't fool me
same pfp lmao

Day 4 of asking for the t114
Video 7 of asking: Could you play the T92? I think it's a really cool and unique design, and a shame that it never went into service. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of gameplay or info about it on YT, and it's right up your ally for play style.
I remember spookston playing it way back in the day, it was a bit of fun years ago, but now, it's just a lil suffer cart.
What’s better than one M48 cupola? Two M48 cupolas!
@@Shaun_Jones Exactly! Except now one is a .30 Cal and the other is a .50, so now you have O P T I O N S
@@That_Guy5575 death options more like lol. Do you get killed in the right turret or left?
@@cookiecracker2 Just duck bruh, not that hard.
Oh and don’t forget your PT belt 😤
This is my favorite tank in the entire game. In an uptier you can still bully some medium tanks and a lot of lights, taking people off guard, and in a downtier being a colossal wall is so fun. My fondest memory of this game is from a few years ago where I single-handedly held a C point against the entire enemy team for so long that my team got to dig in around B. By the time I finally died, the enemy team had like 45 seconds worth of tickets left. At that point somebody had finally gotten it into their heads to use a Sherman Firefly. It felt incredible.
The Jumbo comparison does work. Honestly, I think the tank is at the best BR it could be at for this playing it and playing against it. Its frontal weak spots are there and so long as someone knows what they’re doing there’s a good chance you’re gonna get clapped, while the sides and rear are easy pickings if you don’t just shoot center mass all the time. One that always took me by surprise when it happened is when people would shoot me in the weird bulge under the gun. Doing that tends to disable the entire turret.
It’s surrounded by vehicles that can kill it frontally too (I fear the Achilles in particular, but there are the German tank destroyers who will just ignore your armor, as well as the SUs and the KV-2 who will delete you from existence), or can bring it to a complete standstill (Churchills, other KVs (which is also really fucking funny to watch) and, in uptiers, the Jumbo itself.) It also has a weak gun that ducks you in the ass if you aren’t careful and try to take fights you can’t win, but it’s never truly obsolete, and is never OP unless the enemy team has no idea what to do. I really love it.
sherman shits on the kv1
@@LispyCat
Honestly yeah, that’s kind of the point. Even at its own battle rating there are vehicles that can deal with the KV-1E while being very difficult for it to take out.
@@LispyCat a 75mm doesn't, at least the kv1e
It has some frontal weakspots tho
@@DatBoi_TheGudBIAS can a kv1 penetrate a sherman front? no also the kv1 has alot of weakspots and u can also pen the front armor
@@LispyCat yes, it can lol. Maybe not the m4a2 and m4a3, but other Shermans are pened. Shermans probably have an advantage in close ranges
The first few KV-1’s have always been incredibly fun to play. If you use it correctly and have a good idea of what can and can’t pen you (when angled) you can be incredibly hard to kill.
KV-1 has to be my 2nd favourite Soviet Heavy, just behind the IS-4M. Could you do a video on the IS-4M by any chance please?
But why?
The Is-4 is like... Horrible, even the T10M is a much better heavy tank, and this thing dies with the first APFSDS shot at it
hes not a mascocist hes prob not gonna play the is-4
You should play the KV-1S, it has worse armor on the hull compared to both the KV-1 (L-11) and especially this thing, but it has way better mobility, a(n) (extremely) slightly better gun, and a waaay better mantlet configuration. I much prefer it to the KV-1E, tbh. The better mobility paired with the better gun and mantlet makes it sooo nice to use, and the armor is still quite effective, (somehow)
Goodness 2 heavy tank videos in a week, we are blessed
I prefer the KV-!B but that's just because I cackle at having a full lineup of captured vehicles as Germany. Plus it has a Finnish skin that pairs super nicely with the Finnish skin for the t34 747 r
I would like to see you play the M50 Ontos, tubes of terror!
the warthunder double standared, cant play heavy tanks without immediatly dying by a perfect weakspot shot, yet get killed by heavy tanks because perfect shots into their weakspot get nullified by some manner of warthunder bulsjit
My favorite thing was to run the Brumbar and hit KV-1E's just under the gun, some reason the KV's just love to fuel detonate
KV-1, sherman/jumbo is probably what everyone want with how their tanks performs. fast turret rotation, fast reload, good armour, fast rotating speed (or at least easier)
3:01 I'm going to make it funnier: those aren't rivets, they're BOLTS. Yes, they BOLTED the extra armour on.
In a vaguely similar vein, late in the war, Germany ran out of Manganese, meaning that they had to build their tanks out a different type of steel that was less ductile and much more brittle, to the point that Soviet crews reported that after a couple non-pens, the German's armor would literally start to crack and fall apart. Honestly, I'd expect that from the Soviets a lot more than the Germans, but war is a cruel thing, and material shortages do happen.
M4A5 Ram II, I swear by my ancestors that I'll keep requesting this Lee/Sherman hybrid until I see it. But y'know, no pressure!
But yes, KV1s are the bane of low tier... especially the German premium one... which... if you hadn't just done the KV1 now, I'd also have suggested eventually.
Pro tip: Smoke round got same velocity as APHE. So load like 30 smokes, learn map ranges and deploy smokes on their spawn at the start of a match. The slowdown they get from it will result in massive loss of the map control from the get go and might easily throw a whole match once half the team leaves.
i'm sorry i still don't understand this. can you explain a bit more? wouldn't they just past the smoke while looking at the map?
@@m-g-b513 Good player would… if it wasn't for bunch of unexperienced players blocking the way.
I do this in the XM-1, it's amazing how mad they get in chat lol
KV-1 Variants with bushes is the most overpowered broken thing in existence
11:56, reliable ww2 footage right here
Someone shoots KV-1
KV-1: laughs in Stalinium
This thing being on sale was an absolute menace, I got absolutely clubbed aka spawn camping.
2:51 Where the hell do you even find these clips. You always seem to have the perfect one for every occasion
You should do a video on the real jumbo next, that would be a fun comparison. thanks :)
can you do "Neubaufahrzeug" next, would like to see you play it.
It would be nice if you played the M1A2 SEP. I would like to see how you utilize the commander sight and the ERA. I’ve noticed that the ERA helps against choppers if they hit you from the side. If you angle it just right you might be able to stop the ATGM.
Please, god, tell me what the opening clip is from EDIT: The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
oh, and the one at 2:51
Could you play out the 8.3 BMP-2, its a good time at its BR
Given your statement at 6:54 and your obvious love for slow moving vehicles, it seems only fitting to request you to play the Churchill I.
You know what's terrifying than KV-1E?
KV-1E in angle position.
You should give the Celere “wide boi” Sahariano a try
5:47 "Yeah, it worked- but a man died." And we all know Stalins policy on One man versus Many. One is a tragedy, one million is a statistic.
I hate that by far the most common variant of the KV is a prem, while we get a literal prototype in the tech tree. Nearly all KV-1s received the plating at the start of the war and almost all KV-1s had the F-32 gun
I don't think the comparison to the jumbo is particularly fair. The jumbo has really struggles to penetrate things at it's tier, whereas the KV1E still has plenty of pen for most things at it's tier.
That being said the KV1E is pretty easy to disable by shooting out the breech, a bushed up KV1E is properly broken though.
On another note, what about the KV-1S? I mean if you like speed (and having a reverse gear) I'd have thought you might prefer that more. (Yeah, I frequently rewatch these videos and sometimes get new ideas.)
Spookston you Still considering the Obj 685??
The tank really is less shown then the KV-1E that has been used/covered over multitude of times and other CC
Back when I got this thing years ago, it was in the KV pack on steam, and my friend throught I was an idiot because they thought the turret was weak and didnt bother to look whatwas behind the plate
Didnt ever play it until like a year later, and its been a staple of my "fun" lineup ever since
I'm really glad I stopped playing War Thunder. Some of these map layouts are so objectively bad, putting one side's spawn in the wide open. Shameful.
As a type 1 diabetic I can confirm low blood sugar is crappy especially in game. I go from "ah man this is going to be a great game" to "My god I cant see/do anything please kill me"
Again asking for the super perishing when time allows :)
That Pvkv was prime example why I absolutely despise volumetric, nothing feels worst than hitting a shot that should 100% pen only for it to do zero damage
This may seem like an oxymoron but it what's your favourite British Tank
"I say, the Crusader III is lovely today, perhaps You should try it".
fighting this think in my Brumbär is OK,
Just advice for all of you spg memers
Always shoot the part of the turret nearest to the roof, since that's the only way to overpreassure from experience.
"The breech and trunnion mounts are still pretty weak"
Oh ya, surly curved armor with a flush mantlet creating a volumetric hell won't have anything at all to say to 90% of the shots that hit it.
Should play the OF-40 MTCA. great mobility+fast reaction time+decent firepower=something I think spookston would like. The only downsides being the lack of thermals, and sitting at a very premium heavy BR
Finally... I've played this thing so much, one of my most played tanks and I got it in a pack with the premium IL-2M, my most played aircraft. This is an incredibly unfair tank to fight against but incredibly fun to fight in. I highly recommend it to new players to the game who are interested in pwning some noobs. Worst thing you'll see is a German or Finnish KV.
Really like the nostalgic Halo CE sniper rifle sound effect.
I recommend taking this thing into high tier light tank territory, around 7.3 br. I've bounced multiple Milan missiles from marders and killed german M48s through the cupola a number of times with the KV-1E.
6:30 is a fantastic example of the horrible aggressive culling algorithm that completely ruins Ground RB at least once a day for me. The solution to wall hacks is not this...
Could you play the M50 Ontos or R3 T106? They’re some of my favorite tanks and I’d love to see you play them?
You should try the jpanther g1, its op at 6.0 with 90% of the tanks unable to pen you
Its fast with a long 88mm
you should play the Flakpanzer 341, coelian, flak them all :) (suffer with SPAA's)
Wish there was some kind of event every weekend where u can play tanks without CAS. I literally die 70% to tanks and helis
Day 6 or 7 of asking for the Df105
Day 13 of asking for the British RAM tank destroyer if you didn’t like the archer this might be a step up
12:07 So relatable BRUH. Love the added on Halo sound effects
Ayo Spook could you play the Somua sau 40, its a pretty good french td?
Attempt #17
i regularly use the BT-7A at 5.7 really fun at that tier
Giving it another go
Seeing how you love slow tanks, play the Black Prince:)
I know you hate Pumas but can you do Sd.Kfz. 234/4 at 5.7-6.0?
The Finnish Kv1B in the German tree is even better despite being 1:1 the same since you dont face the high pen german guns.
@@petrkdn8224 ... which you see like once every 6 matches. And even if you do see them they're easy knockouts at close range and still easy to disable at medium-long with the huge mantlet
@@petrkdn8224 I see ISUs once every 15 games but every Soviet match I play it's KwK40s and nothing else.
Never had any problems brutally murdering kv1’s so I can’t relate
1:50 I can't stand them too, they feel so undertiered especially compared to the M24. Why the M24 is 3.7 while for the longest time the Puma was 2.7 is beyond me
video three of me asking Spookston to play cursed tank simulator on roblox
Could you please play the absolutely smashing South African TTD please Spookston
You should play the pz38t and just rat mode with it. And I mean not the hetzer
volumetricbullshit, worst update ever that still after 2 years is broken
Play the Strv m/42 DT, the auto loader is just stupid.
Me having a grand old time in 2.7 and then seeing a goddamn KV-1 coming into view.
You should play the Bkan 1C. It's pretty interesting.
Day 7 of asking Spookston to play Semovente 75/46 M43
Soopkstoon bush policy is exactly the same as the 90's porn actresses.
Day 4.59031456 of asking spook to play the Ikv 91
3:50 - huh, that sound effect sounds so familiar, and super nostalgic. From which game is it? 🤔
Halo 1 sniper
The added sound you add into the footage of shooting, bouncing shells, aircraft etc. are really cool
Gaijin just loves to make tanks that have only 1-2 weak spots have the most inconsistent volumetric just to make sure u cant even pen them there.... Gotta love it tbh
7:04 t14 in my opinion is weak now sad as I bought just before nerf
the chaffee is incredible. I take it out with my 5.3 lineup and it still destroys. If you get a juicy flank you can own so hard
Do you have any thoughts or solution to the crew lock problem? It seems to be getting worse these days as we can get crew locked from getting disconnected by the game itself
Famous last words "I hope I don't get bombed" 💀
Spookston can you do a video on the T29 for us dumb freeaboos out here
Day 5 of asking for the XM-803 or MBT-70
Spookston: "7 kills isn't bad but it's not great"
*Me who averages 1.5 kills a match and thinks i do decent*
Same
If you hate those Puma, be the one you hate almost. Play Puma please lmao 😂
Attempt 6 - I would like to see you play the IS-4M.
6:09 Spook casually having an aneurysm for our entertainment
Was that sniper elite sound effects for the Sherman and can you play the panzer 4 h I can't find enyone I like play it so can you
I just realized it's 10 months old
How the hell can you consider 7 kills begin bad?
Staghound is a surprisingly good anti tank vehicle
I’d like to see what you think about the Type 62 light tank. It seems very interesting, but it doesn’t have a lineup and the tank before it does mostly the same things but at a better Br.
Day 8 of asking you to play the type 75 MLRS
day (something of asking spookston to play the xm1 gm
