Pro tip: you can use the PF round as an air burst round, and it’s so strong that if it flies 3 meters above the roof of a panther the crew is over pressured
THIS. I got destroyed by this tank so many times i couldnt understand why... until i unlocked it and got to use the PF shells and its just dumb. Sometimes i do the good ol Sturmtiger shot over a distance and it just kills something by passing "close" to it
me in my PZ 4-5, i was wondering what happen why suddednly i got damaged and the tank seems shaking I was late to realize that Time fuzed shell was a thing
@@maxineitoor i do this on Ardennes always haha of 10 games there is only one or two maybe where i DONT kill somebody passing over to the hill lol mostly hellcats but shot from my type75sph
Type 75 is so much better than the 2S3M. Browning .50 cal, 10 second reload (almost twice as fast as the Russian one) and once it's upgraded it has a 10degree/sec turret rotation. Plus it has a smoke shell that is a comically fat cloud.
I’m 60 years old and haven’t played a video game since CoD originally came out. I watch channels like your because I’m an AFV enthusiast but I must say your channel is very entertaining. It makes me want to play just to be fodder in one of your videos.
Spookston I think you should do a gameplay video on the cm11, it’s truly a hidden gem, it has the m1 abrams firing system, and an m48 turret mounted on a m60 body. This gives it a faster reload than the m60, it also makes up for most of the armor loss on the m48 turret by suiting it up in ERA. It’s also my favorite tank
The 2s3m is also my favourite vehicle, one tip I picked up is to use the proxy round on heavier targets, if you can get a good enough shot, the fuse will activate on the roof and you basically get a 10 kilo tnt equivalent top attack round
Ah ye, Using Akatsiya as modern tank destroyer. Now that I think it, WT players love to use artillery as modern tank destroyers. Ironic since ATGM carriers were supposed to be that.
@@aegeanharrier6648 what, you want me to do the hour long calculations for Cold War era computers to use the artillery at 3km? I’d have to point straight up, and that’s assuming that the game actually can actually load the arc of the rounds
This is pretty much why i enjoy the G6 Rhino. Usually just run the PF rounds and use them like makeshift top attack munitions against the endless Marder & BMP-1 spam.
Seeing SPHs used like this brings back great memories from my time serving on the SPTA, I hope they give us brits the AS90 at some point as I loved working on that beast.
Spookston , you should play the 75/46 M43, it's an Italian heavily overshadowed tank destroyer but it's capable of being a very hard hitter if used correctly as it has a playstile similar to other turretless tank destroyers but with spaced frontal armor. (Day 18)
I tip for that tank: Use proxi fuse as main and take like 10 regular ones just in case and when using proxi, if it is further than 350m, aim a bit higher, it'll explode above the tank and almost always ensure the kill
If you like the 2S3M, i think you'll like the SU-100P it's one of my personal favorite russian vehicles, the chassis they share is really nice to drive
7:00 I wasn't looking at the video and that music scared me by bringing back memories from halo CE.. the horrors.. hate (and love) that mission (if you know which one, you a chad)
Normally I don't like digital camouflage but I think the Ukrainian one looks really cool, especially the third (current) version. I'm not sure how effective it is but it's aesthetically very pleasing.
@@shaddaboop7998 I really hope they eventually paint everything with that paint job especially all the equipment still driving around in khaki paint. They already started mounting ERA to the lepoards I wouldn't be surprised if they paint them aswell
Spawn camping has become so common in war thunder now. It's like every game there's a dude farming kills. If Gaijan made the reward for capping objectives more, people might go for that instead of just kills.
7:41 Yep that summarizes separate balancing for planes and tanks. Shoot a 50mm HE onto an M36 and you can overpressure some or all of the crew practically anywhere. But get a plane a 155mm VT or direct hits with HESH, HEAT, HE and their crew doesn't get overpressured the same way.
Just wanna say that you are one of if not the best War Thunder CC out there, because you always get straight to the point and even if you get one of the worst vehicles in the game you can make it somewhat fun. If a vehicle is broken you try to get the best out of it instead of dying and then whining how bad it is. You always give me that motivation to play vehicles in a different way than expected and have more fun in War Thunder. If it weren't for your hilarious videos I would have quit WT by now wich would have been a shame (or a good thing...) because there are many fun vehicles I haven't tried yet especially in mid to high mit tier which i mostly skipped because they seemed broken or just not fun. Keep it up!
Okay, so I just got the north American one hundred and oh five tanker ( think it's a kinda shwarman tank? ) But it's so hard to use! You only get HEATED round and HE HE rounds!!!! Could you please teach us how to use? **EDIT** THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THR LIKE MAN! makes me feel warthunder good!
OKAY! I JUST GOT A KILL WITH IT! Alright I saw a tank! And I aimed my cannon at the mantis of the tank! It totally slashed the funny canister down and at the men!
T-34E video? The T-34 that's heavier than the average gamer, has the maneuverability of a snail, has the most worthless heatshield in existence that doesn't even protect the front of the tank, has the acceleration of a guy on a wheel-chair with one arm, and is at 4.0 despite losing pretty much every trait that makes the T-34 good normally. One of my favorites, definitely recommend.
Been waiting to see if you'd play this for a long while. Seriously one of my favorite tanks in the game. Proxy shells shred open tops and tanks you can't pen frontally if you shoot over them. Once got a triple kill on three AAs by aiming between them.
Shooting aircraft with this thing's proxy is THE most entertaining thing i've ever done in this game. They never learn to not fly directly at you even though they can see you aiming for them. I love playing this thing even though the HE is highly inconsistent against heavy or weirdly shaped armor. This is one of the few vehicles that are genuinely enjoyable to play no matter what. Btw take all proxy shells as they are identical to the regular HE but they have proximity fuze. You can snipe panthers really easily by just aiming well above their turret. Also take like 3 heat/aphe rounds for those situations where you just need to load something for penning raw armor
One of my favorite moments in WT was when me and my buddy took this vehcile to the Normandy beach map's road that leads along the beach, and just started to lob proxy fused shells at the other end of the road while being protected by the statue :D
The modern 152/155 artillery pieces are the incarnation of pure joy. I hope we'll see the equivalents for other nations soon. The M109 and Type 83 would be just as fun. The M109 will probably end up in multiple trees too (up to 5 as of right now). I also HEAVILY recommend taking the Object 120 out with HE because it essentially plays like a higher tier 2S3M. It fires the 2S3M's stock HE shell, which is still really good. It also has the bonus of firing it at a significantly higher velocity, making sniping much easier. On top of that, it has a fully-fledged autoloader. I really consider the HE-only Object 120 a hidden gem since most people use the APFSDS or HEATFS and completely forget the HE shell.
I just spent the last week grinding all the Soviet SPGs to get the 2S3M and it is so fun to play. Perfect video timing for me. There's not much more satisfying in the game than annihilating a plane or light vehicle with that proxy fuse shell too
I've been playing War Thunder for a LONG time. Top tier, low tier, jets, helis, sim, everything.

Nothing is funnier than donking a T34 or T29 from a kilometer because you hit his .50 cal where it poked over a ridge. Protip? Get two of them in a squad with voice comms. You become immortal.
The proxy fuze HE is very fun to use, especially in arcade mode, it's so easy to obliterate enemy tanks hiding behind a hill, even top tier mbts, leopard nerds tend to not like getting blown up with a arty piece lol, light tanks stand no chance since overpressure just evaporates them, it's some what okay as a pseudo spaa but the firerate doesn't help in that regard

How about playing the Type 75 SPH? It's like the other Derp Cannons but with the bonus of having a 10 sec reload
My favorite vehicle but iam using 90% fuse HE 😅
also its pretty quick.. and reverses quick too..
And it's also my favourite SPAA :D
I love baiting planes with 50cal and then smacking them with HE.

I'd like to see you play the Type 75 MLRS. Rockets go fwoosh.
The edit at 9:11 caught me really off guard. Top tier War Thunder content.
Those numbers
I would like to see a video on the Class 3 (P) as its feels like a heavy tank more than a light one
0:12 actually the G6 has 11 kg of tnt equivalent, so its only the second most powerful HE round(aside from the sturmtiger)🤓

Catharsis
noun
1. the process of releasing, and thereby providing relief from, strong or repressed emotions.
"music is a means of catharsis for them"

3:32 avarage german player after getting hit by 2 tank rounds: “sense of emergency ? What’s that?”
Would be fun if you could play the bmp3. I really like it cause of the reverse gear and thermals
And 8 AT missiles, bmp3 my favorite bmp under 9.0.
@@noobiplays8539 forgot to mention that lol, the fact that it has a tandem atgm is also very nice.
Slap a UAF decal on it to spite the Vatniks as well. Any Soviet/Russian Vehicle must display a UAF symbol if it wishes to be supported by its team.
And that thing fires as fast asf with 4 seconds reload, but atgm takes about 23 seconds, very long.
