The M18 Hellcat is one of the best flanking tanks in War Thunder but it does lack firepower sometimes. The premium Super Hellcat fixes that by taking the turret and weaponry of the M36 Jackson. It is very fun, especially after it was buffed shortly before the BR changes, but it is a bit of a sidegrade.

Spookston getting nukes to win games❌
Spookston getting nukes to put in his thumbnail✅
I love the profile icone
Fr bro, wish hed start doing them the moment he gets the chance
This is the way.
The morons TKing him every time are paid actors. People can't be naturally this stupid
4:41 the mouse shake is so fucking relatable
mouse recoil
I used to whistle a tiny note. Weirdest thing ever, stopped doing it when someone pointed it out haha.
That friend is someone I would duel in war thunder at the time, and I started noticing them move right before I would make a sneaky shot.
That guy who TK'd you when you had your nuke is probably miserable in life
How much of a problem is that type of TKing? Is there anything you can do about it after the match, even if it only gets the player a warning? It seems particularly unfair.
@@DanielCoffey67 In spookstons last video he was also TKed out of a nuke
@@DanielCoffey67 It is guaranteed pretty much, and Gaijin doesnt punish teamkillers.
[vvlf] ShadowHunter73, yeah, he's a crap player and hopefully now regretting getting mass complaints
Teammates are just enemies in blue.
From the research I’ve done
The commanders who disliked the M18 tended to misuse them
Attempting to use them like the soviets would use their TD’s or as the Germans would use their panthers
The M18 was always meant as a flanking tool, its mobility and light weight meant it could attack from locations that the enemy just didn’t expect
The M18 was loved by the men who used them properly, and the vehicle had a fantastic career, with hundreds of Panzer 4’s and Stug 3’s and 4’s destroyed
The battle of Arracourt was a great example of the effectiveness of the M18 hellcat
3 M18’s were lost to 14 Panzer 4’s
All the while being outnumbered
The m18 was incredibly effective up to the panther and tiger 1
But those were rare on the western front
And even more so, rare that they wouldn’t have an opportunity to flank the enemy
All in all, it has a decorated history, kinda muddied by commanders who Ill understood the weapons they were given
from what i have read they were also liked in the infantry support role as they could follow infantry to places shermans couldn't go. with the main complaints in that role being no co-axe or roof.
I read very similar stuff about the M18. I also read that tankers knew that regardless of the tank they were engaging it was most likely able to penetrate so the lack of armor wasn’t really an issue.
This, this is why I love some people in the tank community
M18s were intended to race to positions and prepare in reaction to an enemy attack, they were not intended to go racing around the frontlines to the flanks. Indeed, thats precisely the sort of thing you want a lot of armour for, as you will encounter AT guns around the enemy frontlines.
GMCs like the M18 and M10 should be thought of as AT guns that can quickly locate themselves, not as offensive weapons in their own right
Eh i mean the m18's neat but there's a defense for the commanders who wanted something on par with a panther or a soviet TD and instead got...another vehicle with mid armor.
Super hellcat after seeing something with actual penetration when it doesn’t one shot:
Man the editing has really stepped up, I used to just watch these because of the skill/informative aspect, but now I find myself laughing out loud at them
I agree, spook’s editing has gotten a lot better and more funnier
When you said "El Tigre" at 3:38, My childhood just slap the shit outta me with that TV show
Don't know what to call them, but I love those little sped up clips you've been adding lately (like the two tanks speeding towards each other and combining into one in the intro)
shitposts
Those are skits
@@whilliamblamet187 skitposts
You know what else is also fast, has no armour, and had a strong gun ? The brefa 501 (Day 8)
Breda is survivable af
@@alarminglyfastmovingskelet7289 exept when u get strafed or play against America
(50.cal)
@@alarminglyfastmovingskelet7289 It depends on whether or not your opponent is intelligent enough to aim above the main "hull" (for lack of a better term for a weaponized airport baggage cart). You can take some surprising shots to the lower face, but anything in the middle will just vaporize your whole crew.
it's a brefa fresh air
Brother, I was asking Spookston to play Breda 501 for several months, it didn't happened... If next video will be Breda, I am gonna be sad...
Gotta love the US and their common turret rings allowing for the "what if we put turret A on hull B" to just work without much work
At 13:39, i love the slow mouse movement towords the bomb. Really makes you accept the struggles of spookston when he's in any tank
Whenever i see something with a turret mantlet that big my brain defaults to "its a panther"
apparently happened on more than one occasion with the M36, though honestly what hadn't happened during WW2...
@@edim108the Japanese not committing war crimes
ITS A FUCKING PANTHER RUUUUN
13:40 that cut off😭😭😭
Lmao fr

US TD policy was to sit and guard important stuff and they did that pretty well, such as the battle of arrocourt where 120 German tanks got completely bodied.
4:13 Bro met Rulo and ended him quickly lol
Another speedy Rat tank is the AUBL/74 HVG, attempt 25
This thing is a torture to play imo
@@amorack_ agreed
HVG is so much worse than the non-prem variant. I love that one way more.
Sounds like skill issue
I like non-stab for the challenge.
Since HEAT got buffed, you should play a HEAT slinger, maybe the DF105 would be fun, very quick reload + good HEAT
We might see a DF vid soon…
The first 30 seconds of this video gave me a heart attack. But y'know what wont give you a heart attack?
The M4A2 (75) Sherman.
good one
13:40 can we just appreciate how comedic this moment (and its editing) was? :D
It would be so cool if you played the M103 and if you wanted you could even bring an AA
I love the m103, it was the first tank I got see up close
@@AustinSmith-gq5gc Nice! The first tank I ever saw was the M60A1 AOS
Day 8 of asking Spookston to play the T-10M
Keep going buddy
T10-A 🗣‼️🔥😎
Bro wait twin
Good choice 👍
@@TheGrace020Nah, M variant is better
I have to say, I've been really enjoying the editing recently. Specially those in-game bits at the beggining while you go over the vehicle's features always make me chuckle.
Btw, that shot to the side of the Tiger 2 seems to be legit. I have seen many simulations of that exact scenario, and essentially, you are trying to shoot along the track overhang plate, which is why game counts nonpen.
(The round would probably deflect in reality, and fuck up the track)
You should play the breda 501
Rear mounted machine gun dudes my beloved
on every manscaped ad i have to imagine the youtuber fully shaved down there
MORGAN? 3:40
my brain went to ace combat zero and i cant unhear it help
It is indeed Morgan.
.
This implies Spookston played Ace Combat Zero at some point.
@@moh.adipramudiono9467 spookston plays project wingman when?!?!
"El Tigre" and the spanish guitar from Ace Combat Zero, love it
the animation where you talk about specs and introduction of this vehicle just too hilarious, i really repeating it multiple times, keep it up!
“Get stankeyed on” *Non pen* “WHAT” (Guy J’s out and Spookston doesn’t get the kill)
There are people who debate whether to intercept enemy nuke planes or to let them get the win out of respect for being so skilled as to get that many points
And then there are some asswipes who shoot down FRIENDLY nukes out of jealousy xd
My only nuke was a game where I spawned with the super Hellcat, died within 20 seconds, then skirted around the entire flank with a normal m18. Great tank.
Classic "i want to play on this tank but i died instantly in it so i respawned in an another tank and for some reason wipe the enemy with it".
@@thegrayseed2792 "I am in a full town teir with a heavy tank, lets go!"
*5 minutes later after 1 kill*
"Oh wait why I am completeley over extended, getting flanked, and about to die? how did this happen!!??!"
*full upteir medium*
"oh well guess I'll do."
*20 minutes later*
*12 kills, 5 caps, me and 2 other gaot teammates clutch the game*
had this exact experience when trying to spade the leopard 2a5, died in the first like, 40 secs of the match, respawned with the pt 16/T14(goat) and obliterated the enemy team, 13 kills 2 assists
@@tirushone6446 my exact experience with the crocodile and concept 3 on sweden and hurtgen forest respectively.
Still much respect for getting a nuke xd
The closest I was to getting one was 2450 points, gotten with a Jumbo Pershing
Would've gotten it too if I hadn't tragically wiffed the last shot and at least injured the Tiger I was dueling xd
13:41
CAS: **drops bomb**
Spook: ah fu-
t10m would be pretty nutty
Same issues as any rank 5-6 russian heavy - largely outclassed by everything, aka pretty useless
@@SovietUnion_ not really just the speed heatsf spamm at that br+laser rangefinders making heavy obsolete or its the weird shit where heatsf does 0 dmg
Getting a Manscaped sponsor as a War Thunder youtuber is like getting a Deodorant sponsor as a Genshin/League youtuber, idk how much money theyd be making or where they saw profit
"In the mood For freedom" is a good inscription.
I prefer using My Baby but hiding the first balf to do "Baby Destruction"
I've played with spacebar as main cannon fire just for those pin point shots that you dont want the left click to fuck up. Works great!
No one:
Gajin: "How can we suddenly rock around the American BRs again? I got it, we buff the hellcats."
They could fix the fuse for aphe so it explodes at the proper spot and has the correct fuse moments.
This would give solid shot a reason to be taken.
Getting tired of aphe ignoring tank husks and brick pillars not to mention traveling to the exact center of my tank and exploding even if it pens from the 30mm back hull armor.
first my man makes an m18 video
and now i get a dedicated super hellcat video
spookston singlehandedly making me a happy man in less than 16 mins
You'd think someone approaching an area seeing a half-dozen burned out wrecks all in a row that they'd stop to reconsider their current course of action.
4:02 BRO SPOOKSTON KILLED RULO6000
Absolutely loving the editing
13:35 'Uhmmm... K! Thank you for turning! 😊" 💥
man i love your goofy speeded up war thunder clips where you explain stuff
Overgrown technical known as the flakbus needs a vid
Day 5
Loving the amount of sound effects in this video. Im pretty sure you are one of the only content creators that can actually make me laugh out loud
I just wanted to say i appreciate the effort u put in to overlay the armor penatration simulation shots when you question the "legitimacy" of shots.
3:41-3:43 i refuse to believe that spookston made an Ace Combat Zero reference!
It's funny how many times the Americans planned to mount new turrets on existing hulls, such as T23 on Sherman, T29 on T25, T42 on M46, and even T32 on T26E4 👀
Day 1 of asking spookston to play the t92
Was watching some of your old videos and the difference in your editing and commentary is crazy, keep up the good work! (Also maybe try the french auF1 at 7.0, funny HE go boom)
13:11
Being so confident and then the shell failing you immediately after damn near killed me with laughter.
The m18 after looksmaxxing 💀
bye bye 🗣🔊🔥
Day 160 of asking spookston to play the panzer 3m
Maybe he isn't unlock it yet?
@@KA-jm2cz bro I think he’s just avoiding me at this point
Spookston has taught me one great thing
Always listen to the commanders range
For that I will name a tank after Spookston instead of a plane
i can see spookston adapting the spongebob comical effect in his illustrations whereas tanks randomly explode for no reason
Day 3 of begging spooky ton to play the M901
Damn bro straight for the throat 😂
T10m instead
Spooky ton. 😂
He has. But another video would prolly get me to shell the golden eagles
Day 23 of asking for a Cromwell v rp3 video because rocket
8:26 bro turned into a frog.
That Tiger II H whose side skirt ate your round reminded me of the first one I killed in War Thunder. It was one of my first games in the 75 Jumbo, and he pushed my position along a ridge on Normandy beach. Embracing my inner gremlin, I shot his barrel and both tracks before flanking and putting one into his ammo rack. I was laughing maniacally the entire time. Good memory.
DAY 10 OF ASKING SPOOKSTON TO PLAY ANY CHALLENGER 2
If M18 was a bit more prevalent in terms of production, we could have ended up seeing modifications with french 105mm, "french" 75mm and maybe even italian 60mm. Or with ATGMs.
Since you mentioned Helldivers,now you must play Helldivers 2 with Oddbawz+other people if you want
I want to see Spookston seeing what LIBERTEA tastes like
Super hellcat is one of my two favourite tanks.
Absolute gremlin, the mobility plus the seriously powerful gun make it an incredibly potent machine. I love it
13:11 Bro forgot to praise the snail 💀
Spook I love the little cutaway bits with the tanks doing goofy things. This is a welcome change
The long 90 on the M26E1 should be pretty good Gaijin gave it has an unnecessary long reload too. The other US long 90mms were more like prototypes.
I'm pretty sure that before the ammo rework, solid AP had more penetration than APHE. But then their magic number crunching somehow ended up with the ammo with less metal having more penetration.
I bet that P-47 Pilot is just a real character at parties
"Beware, when hunting Tigers, that the Tiger does not find you first."
--some ancient Chinese philosopher
"Get stankied on!"
--Spookston
I got this for the last 50% off sale and its been my favorite US tank as of yet. Always loved the U.S. 90mm and have loved the M18 ever since I first read about it as a young boy. So its perfect
That intro was so action packed, I love it.
Really hit that brainrot side of my brain
9:15 Yo, if Gaijin drops a premium Jumbo 76, Spookston's gonna be over the moon. He'll be grinding those German mains for all the SL he can get.
The wqy how he looked down and just excepted that bomb😂 13:35
ShadowHunter73 was so envious that Spookston had 10 kills and 6 assists and only 1 kill and two assists that he tried to take the nuke from him.
You had that Tiger II dead to rights, and then you got stankied on.
Funny how fast this hand cranked M36 turret rotates on a M18 chassis , some nations have no downsides at some fancy paper/prototype tanks .
You thought I’d forget didn’t you? IMPASTABLE!
I was just incredibly busy boiling all the Lasagna noodles to create the armor for the Ariete PSO you will some day play, alongside preparing the finest Sicilian Pizza to act as the PSO’s ERA bricks… I didn’t forget!
I watched this almost immediately after you posted it, but forgot to comment, so I'm doin it now. I love the editing Spookston and I hope to see more funny edits (please God give me metal pipe sfx)
Also Spookston, as an avid Super hellcat user, I have to say that the 90 mm really helps when shooting tigers side on. Those side skirts, on both tiger 1 and tiger II, eat 76 mm like nothing if you're slightly angled, so the better penetration really helps to stop that.
I'd say one positive to the Super Hellcat vs the Reg M18 is that your commander isn't hanging out the turret with a cold one cracked, chillin' like a villain.
13:39 Looked down like when Gus realized Hector had a bomb under his wheelchair
9:20
Yep, you are not the only one🤣
Keep avoiding it all you want! The Struer Emil still looms over you!
17th time challenging Spookston to bring the Char 25t into an 8.3 lineup, and then incrementally increase the BR to find when the tank becomes unironically unplayable.
ngl, i skipped the whole ad read thing, but it ended up making the video SO much better!!
Spookston said "War Thunder is a game that demands a lot of time" and i skipped ahead and instantly went to "and let's get back to it"
fucking GOLD!!!
Use the browser extension 'Sponsor Block' It auto skips ad reads real nice.
was going to ask to play the M36 tank destroyer, 1.0 BR lower but I'm sure the picture oh how fun the gun is made
4:05 Idk if you realized but that Sturmtiger was Rulo6000 lmfao
not sure how often they happen but recently noticed featuring more teammates getting kills to help you like that m36 with the tiger, moments like that in the videos are great
I just unlocked the m47 105 from Italy at 7.7, and it is a BEAST with its insane pen and decent mobility, couldn't recommend it less.
13:39 is an immaculate cut off
6:40 Ace Combat V - reprisal. Soo much nostalgia , nice game , good story.
your editing is awsome recently, loving the silly little skits :3
also you should try the sidam (8.3) with its sabot belts, it annihilates anything that isnt a russian tank and from the side even they arnt safe :D
Bro looked down as soon as the bombs blew up like he was annoyed😂lol
With this editing Spookston is turning into a YTP WT youtuber and i am absolutely here for it
FYI: super hellcat testing showed that there was no measurable difference between mobility of the 76, and 90mm variants, even with that extra weight.
Congrats on getting a sponsor man, its the first one ive seen on ur channel
Spookston: "Evacuate immediately"
Me having flashbacks of Metroid:
Play the Wirbelwind and stand in a capture zone. Partially empty clips get auto reloaded so you can have a continuous stream of bullets because the auto refill is faster than emptying the clip
My man's literally stayed in 1 spot shooting everyone
