As a Czech, I give you extra points for using a historical camo commemorating the Prague Uprising. For my non-Czech speaking bros out there: on the left-side skirts, there's a list of people killed or wounded in combat during the defense of the Czech Radio building ("Český rozhlas"). The actual Hetzer used during the combat lacked the main gun (it was an unfinished vehicle) and had different markings.
I remember in the first game in the Hetzer, I got de-tracked and got hammered for like three minutes straight by Shermans and T-34s then somehow died to an M16. All in all, 38/10 would play again.
I remember once I fought a Chaffee, I was sitting on a very slight decline. He shot my roof, at like, an 88 degree angle. He penned my roof and instakilled me. I raged
Attempt number 10 at getting Spookston to play any tank with a dozer blade, the catch is he has to dig in before engaging. Movement around the map is allowed, however he has to dig in again before reengaging.
Fun fact : The nickname "Hetzer" was originally made for the Jadgpanzer E-10, a prototype tank but there was a administrative misunderstanding and the nickname was given to the Jagdpanzer 38t by mistake.
@zupnanazwa Gajin and horrible map designs? Never. I don't know what would make you say that. That's just silly. Meanwhile Gajin: "Alright boys l, we need our next open field we can release at 2.0 and up"
@@lupisvolk2420 Actually no, it was used during the Prague uprising against occupying German forces during WW2 (1945). Czech people did not rise against Soviet forces in 1968 (unlike Hungary in 1956).
@@lupisvolk2420you might be thinking of the Hungarian uprising, in the Czechoslovak case it was the communist government itself that tried to liberalize and was stopped by the Soviet invasion
Doesn’t Hetzer basically translate to “flanker”? Either way, it’s the best German TD for two simple reasons: 1: cute 2: covers the Tiger 1’s LFP really good, which was neat back in the early days of ground forces
Hetzer actually translates to "annoying" or similar, since it was an annoyance to the allies The name was actually given to it in the postwar era by former German army personnel
@@Stridsvagn-PanzerKommandant Hetzer actually translates to something like "hounder" or "chaser". "Hetzen" is a form of giving chase, like dogs on a hunt.
Hetzer in German comes from describing hunting with dog which is chasing the prey. It can also be used to describe humans who have a strong opinion/accuse someone about something and are making that publicly known, however that is not very common in modern German language.
Let me (as a German) give it a try. Hetzer comes from "Hetzjagd" aka "Hetze" aka "Hatz" aka "Treibjagd" ("jemanden oder etwas hetzen", would be translated as "to hunt someone or something down (in a chase)") So, yeah the literal translation should be Chaser or simply Hunter. German is such a complicated yet rich language, isn't it^^
Personally, I think that arcade actually has a pretty elegant solution to the CAS issue; It could be refined a bit more, but limiting the number of planes that can be up at any given time, and giving them a maximum time they can be in the air before they're forced out and back into a ground vehicle works well. Especially if it means having to leave yourself in an undefended tank while you're in the plane.
I love how the HE filler has just enough to kill the crew and only destroy what ever the shell itself directly impacts. Germany, ya gotta love it and I love how he mentions its a wedge. German tank designer: sir why did you give me a wedge of cheese? High command: build a tank destroyer out of that. German tank designer: can I call it the cheese wedge of death aka Hetzer? High command: sure why not
TBH Spookston that Sherman you faced in the beginning the M4 Hybrid is a reaaaaaallly good Sherman it's hull armor is very damn trolly with volumetric and I frequently get hit by shots like that that bounce. I honestly think it's probably the best 3.7 Sherman currently.
Completely possible, side armor plates of Hetzer are made of just strengthened steel (not true armored steel) and are just 20mm thick, so they are penetrable by .50cal AP rounds below 100 meters
Hey Spook, you should play the Semovente 75/46 M43. It's a deeply overshadowed italian tank destroyer which can deliver an heavy punch but it's deeply ignored the potential it has. I am not gonna surrender in proposing this. I AM NOT GONNA SURRENDER, BE CLEAR! I A M N O T B A C K I N G O F F! Y O U C A N' T K E E P G E T T I N G A W A Y W I T H I T ! Eyo, don't yo dare ignoring me, I won't surrender until you play it! (Day 123)
I wouldn't realy say the tank is underrated. A lot of people use it when they play Japan. It's just that most minor nations are underrated. (Mostly cause Gajins insistent need for Russian Bias.)
I believe the Sturer Emil is the true silliest German tank destroyer. "Let's put a 128mm naval gun on an open-topped armoured vehicle with horrendous reliability issues, Hans!"
Spook, I'd like to see you play one of the Italian trucks next. The one at 2.3-2.0 has a 120 mm howitzer with HE. I used it sometimes and was quite funny
No way, I was looking for a Spookston Hetzer video just last night and concluded you only ever did the one 'talk' on it. And now here is a gameplay video! Lucky me.
As always great video, fit's the first time that I'm putting a message because I coudn't not react. When you said : "this is not exactly a flanking tank" and showed the max speed of 42 km/h, I (british main who love the british heavies, I'm weird I know) was like "what do you mean not build for flanking ? This thing is SPEED itself". Also you should play the Valentine I. I think it's one of the most underated tanks both in the game and real live. I really hoping that they add the Valintine V, I want my 3 men turret on the valentine for heaven's sake !
"I would go replenish my commander except for the fact that the commander MG is entirely useless" minus the open tops, but you know what would be great? If that remote controlled MG that sits directly under the loader and was controlled by the loader, didn't die when the commander did. I'm sure there's a some kind of bug report about it somewhere, though it's probably filed in the basement cabinet with every report you make.
Day №3 of trying to make Spookston to play War Thunder *Mobile* . 11:20 “yes tank you” -Spookston. 13:13 Spookston loosing his sanity. Woah, this is yet the funiest video from this wacky furry.
Ah yes, 50 tabs of chrome for "historical research purposes", mhm. All jokes aside, nicer video mate! If I had to make a suggestion, try the m46 Patton, since it's basically an updated Pershing!
3:04 Gonna be honest, Jeff's voice made me flinch a bit... Man do I hate hearing that specific announcement... Well that and NEW ZOMBIE barely a few seconds into a round of Infection.
I am a German tech tree main (Ground and Air) (I am currently done with WW2 tanks and focus on planes the grind is so annoying there) and the 4.0-4.7 tank destroyer lineup at the beginning was hard to get through because of CAS but after a while and getting the hang of them and increasing map awareness it was pretty fun to oneshot most enemies. Thanks to the mobility of the Hetzter the 8,8 cm Flak 37 Sfl. turret mechanism and the tankiness of the Jagdpanzer IV I was not suffering as much as with the StuG which were prone to getting flanked quickly whilst turning slow themselves.
"Is that a chaffee?" Hold for thought process "Nah, didn't see his name" The confidence Spook said this with is just amazing! I damn near fell off my chair laughing.
I'm surprised your not going over the current drama that's going on with the T-90M & it's spall liners, not to mention the aftermath involving the community managers and one of the getting doxed no less.
Good video! Btw. I've looked up the Jagdpanzer 38 (t) because it's a cool tank, and i've read something interesting. The jagdpanzer 38 (t) actually was (sometimes) called "Hetzer" although that was apperently due to an misunderstanding. However the Jagdpanzer 38 (t)'s "common" Post-War name is indeed "Hetzer". (Edit: I've looked through the comments, and appearently i wasn't the only, nor first who knew that, lol.)
POV: Spookston tries to play Tanks without getting bombed challenge. Speaking of getting bombed and straffed by planes I'd ask you to make an *Italian Gun Truck Lineup with BP vehicle the Breda 90/53.* and the couple of AS cars for for a true Godfather Experience Driveby.
What kind of jokes/editing do you guys like to see? I kinda just wing it most of the time
unhinged and schizo editing
Winging it works! Also how's your health man?
I really like the way you do it and in my opinion it’s kinda refreshing just to see someone “wing it”

Yeah hate to break it to Spookyton, the Jpz.38(t) is a huge CAS magnet because of how fragile literally everything except its front plates are.
