Despite this tank’s issues historically, you got to give props to the Soviet engineers, this vehicle is really impressive, the shear presence of this tank is menacing
There's a video on youtube of this specific vehicle moving around in the modern era, just look up: "Obj 279 driving" and you'll see. Crazy to me how it still runs somehow lol
The issue of russian equipment is it's russian built. The engineering that makes it simple is impressive. AND if built to a quality, they'd be really good.
@4:12 Spooks, your content is always enjoyable. The monotone memery is especially entertaining when it helps to accurately convey how defeated you are by a dreadful vehicle and/or German teammates.
Your energy always struck me as "man tries to hold onto last bit of sanity left after playing awful tank game hotwired onto a dogfighting game" and I like it. I like the length and the stuff you edit in, it's unique among war thunder videos
I'm made to listen to BBC radio 1 at work and the presenters obviously fake hype and charisma is insanely grating, it's like listening to children's entertainers. I appreciate Spookston for being real with his dryness.

About reddit having issues with you, these "issues" are exactly what I love your channel for, not being overreactive not overemotional, your humor, excellently placed memes with good taste, it's just, very enjoyable to watch, your character, at least how you behave in your videos make you seem like a really nice guy to hang out with and that's one of the best things a TH-camr can achieve. Also your laugh, other youtubers when they laugh it usually sounds very forced, your laugh just sounds real. Honestly your tone of voice and style in which you're making your videos remind me of a Minecraft legend Technoblade. Spookston, please, never change. You are the best.
Please don't change your monotone voice or style of humor. It's literally perfect as is and you're the only war thunder TH-camr I can tolerate at 1x speed ❤
@@Haggard3152nd a full BR higher than the 2P so at least in my experience the armor doesn't work too well. I used to like the amx50 more due to the mobility and reverse speed. But well now that is 7.7 where is just a slower lorraine 40t
I personally love the memes you put in and your "slightly more emotion today" voice for your live commentary is plenty. Do how you do man, because right now these videos are literally my entire mood. Unidentified Armored Comrade tank my beloved. I tease my friend all the time for not having it despite it being his favorite vehicle.
Your voice and presentation is what makes your content unique. I enjoy the recent flood of gameplay videos but I miss the more historical/just talking about tanks videos. Keep up the good work!
Tbh I love your “dead inside” monotone voice, because it accurately reflects my feelings about war thunder. Also, Phly is probably the coolest guy ever.
Honestly I watch Spooks videos just because of his monotone presentation, makes it easy to watch your vids and the memes/editing makes it so much better.
4:40 Wow that was such an insult Like seriously that was so savage against phly that it physically made me smile Aint no way he can turn that around because seriously that would hurt phly
I think this is the perfect amount of excitement in a warthunder video. It perfectly incorporates everyone's realistic attitude toward the game, we all play it, why still, the reason why I don't know, no one ever said they enjoy the grind or having to research armor piercing rounds because they kept getting uptiered.
Just wanted to say i love your style of videos, especially the fact that you are calmer than most. It's very refreshing on a site where everything always tries to grab your attention and overflows you with information. Anyway, love your content, keep up the good work
Well you're my favorite WT youtuber. Not only am I into the vibe, I like that you edit your videos to just mainly be the interesting parts, while having lots of critique and commentary
Honestly I love Spooks voice and tone, its relaxing and chill. I also think that the more you play this forsaken game the more emotion will be sapped from your soul so I'm suprised hes still able to hold on this well.
Would be interesting if Gaijin added collision to cannons, imagine tanks not being able to freely turn the turret if the cannon is stuck on the corner of a building or against the terrain.
Nah, your voice and way of speaking is completely ok in my eyes. I also have my problem of speaking quite monotonely, but you are still fine and i also never thought of you speaking too unemotionally. Just keep producing this nice content for us, you rock dude
I think the combination of your monotone voice and the memes is actually perfect, combined with the occasional giggles and stuff, love your content man!
Your content is just fine. You give an unbiased view of the vehicles, you share your exp and show how predictable people are. You Crack me up every vid.
Please stay as you are! There are more than enough TH-camrs who constantly shout at you so i really enjoy the more relaxed tone. Makes all the reactions feel more real.
The tone of your voice is one of the best parts of your videos (along with the insurmountable depth of AFV knowledge). That combined with the editing style is very chill and makes your videos quite enjoyable. I don’t know how long hypebeast spookston could last lmao
Your monotone delivery of everything combined with spontaneous memes is why I watch your channel more than just about any other War Thunder or World of Tanks players. It's really refreshing in a TH-cam where it feels most other channels are trying to copy the big bois like Markiplier and PewDiePie.
You are clearly on the spectrum;Not a bad thing. Makes you naturally amazing at pushing out informative, non-bias information in your videos with a passion for tanks. I personally love your content in every way, no imperfections to be had. Keep up the good work my friend.
The Type 16 feels tanky because for what it is, it is pretty tanky. It’s meant to stop the Carl Gustav frontally, so ~400mm CE and can also withstand 30mm APDS frontally and 14.5mm from the side.
You've probably been told like 385k times already, but your reload slowed down after losing your loader because the tank only uses a partial autoloader. It is two piece ammo, the loader puts one half in, and the autoloader does the rest. :)
I like your content exactly because you are relaxed, do not hide the pain that sometimes is this game. And include many unique memes lol. Informational videos are awesome too but I understand those are hard to make and you already covered a lot.
I love your content for a few reasons, one, you are one of the only warthunder youtubers who dont use 50000 memes in the span of 2 seconds making it unwatchable for anyone older than 12, and two, it is very useful to know each tanks strengths and weaknesses
You make great videos. I like how you're level and calm most of the time. I often find that the people who are super over the top come off as trying too hard. Just keep being you and doing your thing.
Dude, I don't know how anyone complains about your content. This is gonna sound I same but I haven't even played WT in years, I just watch because I find your presentation entertaining. The memes in particular are great, and not at all excessive IMO. Way, _way_ less than some channels, e.g. Malzi
Spooks, honestly, who are these people that say that TOO MANY MEMES in videos? The amount of memes and their "on point" character is always on point, no pun intended. People are strange Thank you for the content
Life lesson: you cannot force yourself into something you're not, and even if you could it would not be worth it. Keep your strengths as CC, you make good content, informative, entertaining and the way you speak is just your trademark. Nothing wrong with your voice, your cadence is pleasant and your diction clean. Just keep it up.
The only thing that I wish could happen is that your vids are longer but I know why that are short but overall great content some of the best vids on TH-cam keep up the good work
Spook, your voice is great. Man whos sanity has been ground to dust by the snail, who occasionally remembers happy times, is pretty appropriate for this game.

I would love to see you post more historical or more of your think reviews of other games
Dawg dude ur videos are perfect I watch every single of them once they're out and unlike others I never tab out and switch videos cause of boredom keep da job up
I actually enjoy your style more than Phly's. I always check if Phly's made a video of something interesting before I decide if I watch his video but I never miss your videos. My absolute favourites are your collabs with Odd so I can watch those battles from both perspectives.
Out of all the WT content creators, I only watch and rewatch your vids, cause the way you talk is just normal, compared to the "high energy" videos that I can't watch for the life of me.
I actually really liked the length of your old videos. I have dozens of creators with 12-20 minute videos and sometimes I only have time or want to watch a 5-minute video.
You bring more than enough energy to the table for a daily C&B torture session, I like how long your videos are, your complaints are valid and funny, and the editing is fuckin hilarious.
i love the content you make the memes are wonderful and well placed your voice adds to the entertainment value for me along with the way you talk over your gameplay
I don't understand the haters, I really like your style with the shorter videos and all the memes, please don't change it, it's what makes your content unique.

Honestly the memes are what really makes your gameplay videos for me. I chuckle aloud at least once a video. Keep up the great content man
Yeah the memes on his videos are great
Some other short video channels have much less unedited video than meme and it's annoying
The 279 is honestly why I avoid high tier battles now, one semi decent player can solo the entire enemy team it’s insane
Me
It's called an unbalanced game. It's not the players fault
this sounds like a Turm III
There will be nothing more satisfying for me than using a 130mm APCBC with the ballistic behavior of an APFSDS :D

Ye. More talking about tanks pls.
I miss his cinematics.
Tbh I love your “dead inside” monotone voice, because it accurately reflects my feelings about war thunder.
Also, Phly is probably the coolest guy ever.
The only thing that can beat such a heavy tank is the swing fire which out classes every vehicle in the game
And its bri ish so Bussin, OP yet again
swingfire and striker best atgm vehicles
The Swagfire.
I think the tone of your content is just right. Your voice has gotten a lot better as well, you sound more confident in recordings now
Phly is based, I'm always amazed how he can keep it fresh after like 10 years of war thunder content tbh
He does have a talent for entertainment. He's just really good at what he does, and he knows his community.
Honestly I watch Spooks videos just because of his monotone presentation, makes it easy to watch your vids and the memes/editing makes it so much better.

ngl you match my energy with the amount of enthusiasm and memes u have
The auto loader on the Object 279 is a semi auto loader just like the object 268 so losing your loader does slow down the reload
