The Chi-Nu II (or Chi-Nu 2, whichever you prefer) is probably the most solid premium tank you can get for the Japanese tank tech tree. It used to wreak havoc in the lower tiers of WT before Gaijin moved it up to 4.3, but it's still a very potent medium tank with powerful armament. I like to compare it to a railgun since it's so devastating. It'll destroy most targets in one shot, hence the title.

The One Shot Wonder (Chi-Nu II)
Just a reminder that you guys can use my decal link to get a discount on the Gaijin store
Is the xm1 good?
@@doge3058 Yes. Crazy Mobility
spookston !!! you owne me a computer !!! you must pay it back to me !!! also can you play the chi-a from chinese or make a video about how bad was the su/isu 152 ? thanks
Would love to see you play the Fiat 6614 or some other Italian wheely boy
thank you for making content spookston, hearing your monotonous voice always brightens my day - even in an abusive relationship
also unrelated but I stopped playing War Thunder because of repair costs. too much stress associated with it for me - also too much FOMO with the event vehicles and season passes. the events are inhuman. especially if you have a social life or let alone a job.
I love how it's like "7 bajillion mm of pen" and then you hit like a sheet steel cosmetic feature on the outside of a tank and the round simply ceases to be
Now son let me tell you about the wonderful world of incorrectly modeled volumetric!
I love having optics, fuel tanks and driver's hatches completely negate my shot.
It’s amazing, how I can shoot a T-34 in the side with 128mm AP shell, and it just bounces because a stupid piece of 6mm sheet metal track guard
it's no match for the purest stalinium used on T-34 driver hatch
Me when a stock panzer 3 lower front plate eats 5.8kg of tnt
As a 100% Japan Main, all the tanks are absolute glass cannons. It's a fairly fun part of the tree, and I feel the training of "if it looks at me I die" leads to being an actually better player with other trees
I literally use the "If it looks at me I die" with every single tree
And thats the absolute downfall of the tree cause it led to the snail uptiering all of low tier japan.
i'm like "These are pieces of shit. I'm going back to USSR and Germany"
I was once messing aroudn in an m22 at like... 5.7, and this poor fucker in a Chi-ri II bounced his shot and I could frontally pen him with my little 37mm like bruh I felt bad.
honestly whenever I kill a japanese player I just feel bad.
It already feels that way when I play the American tree unless I play the 75mm jumbo
Also, I might add that Japanese rank IV guns have very low shell dropoff, Actually Japanese tanks in general have pretty good guns
Except the I-Go. It sucks.
@@joshuamueller3206 my hopes and dreams were crushed using that tank
@@joshuamueller3206 yeah, that pile of junk
@@desertfalcon1539 I survived a direct hit from a 100lb bomb in it, everything was red and I had a minute long repair, but was otherwise fine. Do not question the snail apparently. Football players can throw farther than it can shoot though.
I've tried the Jap tree and I have to say that upon starting out, your best bet is to get the two AA tanks first alongside the wide floaty boi as soon as possible.
Heat rounds are okay but definitely not the most reliable, especially when only 48mms or less of pen is your second option
I’d love this thing a lot more if it weren’t for the weird uncapped AP shells that have weird problems with angled armor, and the 4.3 BR desert where it has no lineup or purpose other than to play second fiddle to the Chi-To’s.
I honestly prefer this over the Chi-To. I like the smaller profile and faster turret traverse.
The trash sloped performance of the gun has led to a lot of frustrating moments where it would ping off the front of Shermans and T-34s.
after fighting the Chi-Nu before, i never transitioned from low tier to 5.7 and 6.0 so quickly, it's crazy
I love the additional editing you've done for this video, got a good few laughs out of me
Chi-Nu II is easily the best purchase I ever made in WT. It made me fall in love with the Japanese tree. It's a must buy for anyone playing Japanese
Probably the best bang you can get for your buck
Chi Nu II and the KV-1C were my best purchases.
@@derkaiser9881 yup, the KO is another amazing premium to get and on par with the Chi-Nu II. One of the few planes that if you die in it, it's more likely than not entirely your fault.
People love to try and turn fight it
@@wintersal449 the ko is also my favourite plane in WT. And yep, people just keep turning with you and the stupid thing is that keeps causing gaijin to uptier and uptier the Zeros, its so dumb.
i managed to get the chi nu II in the warbond shop, i only got it because i didnt know what else to get but im glad i did
this thing being at 4.3 while the panzer 4 f2 is 3.3 is completely insane...
also maybe a video on the leo 1a5? no real reason i just like it :D
Performance-based balancing is totally fair guys trust me
Cool to find out being a wehraboo drops your effectiveness a full BR
If i remember correctly. It was once 3.7, but it just Outclassed any other nation on its own. Too many Good Players rolling some cheeks in it caused it to go up in br. It should atleast go back to 4.0.
Yeah this thing shouldn't be at 4.3,3.7 at mos
@@Haaton-of-the-Basement honestly pretty common for the Japanese tree. The Yuudachi was once 4.0, now it's 4.7 because it's stupidly good. I've got almost a 4:1 K/D ratio in it because it's still stupid how good it is even at 4.7.
I forget if you’ve made a video on it before, but the Boarhound is still a lot of fun.
6pdr APHE is bonkers, and it’s a shame (or maybe a blessing) that only two vehicles get it. I’m pretty sure that the only two vehicles that get the 6pdr APHE round are the Boarhound and the Su-57 half track.
Making a video on the Boarhound is one of my top priorities right now, the thing is insane
I bought the SU-57 a few days ago and tested it , it slaps
Gotta love the fact that the best 6 PDR isn't even in the British tree.
I remember how before the traction update, the Boarhoud would climb any angled slope you'd give it with no problem. I haven't played it in years, but that was my favorite thing about it
@@hi_-bz7wf The only reason it’s the best round is that APHE is **WAY** more powerful in War Thunder than it was in real life. In game, APHE creates a spherical shrapnel pattern around the shell, dealing damage in all directions. In real life, APHE just creates second conical shrapnel pattern in addition to the primary armor spalling shrapnel.
The British didn’t use APHE rounds because they decided it wasn’t worth the cost, effort, and potential reliability issues (apparently in their testing, APHE rounds had a tendency to detonate on impact instead of after penetration) that would come with APHE when the gain from it was only marginal.
You should totally make a Driver’s Ed video for War Thunder. It would definitely be funny, and some people could really use it! Also, the one tank I’m scare of when using Japanese tanks is also the Sherman.
The Chi-Ri is very good too, one of my favorite Japanese tank, the 3 round autoloader is so unknown to other player that you can get many easy kills on players who don't know the tank
same..I pair it together with the Ho-Ri Production
Man it sounded like you had so much fun making this video! Also I know you use C&C Generals music before but the theme for China just hits different, booted up the game instantly after the video
Play it with the Shockwave mod if you can, even more fun.
ST-A 3 is some of the more underrated tanks in Japanese tree aswell, 6 sec auto-loader + HEAT-FS at 6.7 with good optic is a bonker !
I didn't know it got an autoloader, is the Type 61 or any of the 74s like this too?
Gets a rangefinder too!
@@reinbeers5322 STB-1 did have a semi-auto loader device similar to the st-a 3 historically but it was removed from all other prototypes included the type 74.
Playing the Japanese tech tree is somewhat hard at first but starts to get more fun when finally unlock The shermans, type 61 and sta-3
Japan is one of the most underated nations in general
Some of my personal favourites are all the tanks that use the 75mm type 2 gun (except the Chi-Ri II that thing blows), the Ho-Ro, the Chi-Ha LG, the Type 60 SPRG, the STA-3, the Type 61, the Type 89, the Type 75 SPH and the Type 87 RCV. I'd love to see you play some of these if you haven't!
Not sure why but I really enjoyed this video a lot, especially when you're turret was fully turned backwards and that tiger saw you
I got the Chi-Nu II with warbonds before I started playing Japan...it has been one of the best tanks I have ever gotten for "free" and helped me research all the way thru tier 4 in the Japanese ground tree. I love almost everything about it (turret traverse rate being the glaring issue, as it is on most Japanese WWII era tanks). But yeah, that gun just pops everything it looks at.
I used to bring the Chi-Nu II up in BR with Type 75 SPH as i didnt have a great lineup. Chi nu carried me through lots of battles working as a side shot wonder
A vehicle that I would suggest (since it is quite similar to the Chi Nu II) is the STRV DT which is packing nearly double the explosive filler (110g) with a 4 round magazine. It's pretty flexible and one shots basically anything you face if you pen. It's my most played tank and it's a LOT of fun
I very happily use this thing at 4.7 with the Chi-To and Chi-To Late. That gun is magical, and if you can stay relatively out of sight, you'll dominate. Hell, even the armor on the turret can be trolly sometimes. I know I've hit that area around the breach on Japanese tanks before, and I'm telling you, it just disappears for no reason because of those overlapping plates.
This is the first video I've seen that you sound like your actually having fun. And the editing was awesome. Hope you have more fun in wt, I know it's pretty hard💀
The Chi-To Final is a very fun tank to play, some people forget that its front is 75mm sloped so you can actually bounce quite alot.
Im agree
For me it's better than Chi ri in terms of protection
But the gun, I can't decide... One use autoloader and one not
I definetly appreciate the extra editing that went into this video, hope to see it more if it doesn't add too much to the overall editing process
You seem to have a lot of fun making and editing these commentary videos
2:16 the bright colours actually help the camouflage. They break up silhouette while also taking advantage of human psychology and that our eyes are adapted too seeing more natural darker colours and so you are less likely to notice something with brighter colours
☝🏾🤓
i love seeing your personality pop out more in your recent vids :)
YAY JAPAN!! The Chi-Nu II is such a solid tank. The small size lets you get into tight places, the gun has lots of TNT filler and if you know where to aim can be devistating! Such a fun tank to play, among so many others! So glad you could show it off!
It also was in the warbound shop last year, so one could get it for free!
I do like the addition of the thematic background music, reminds me of your old Montage videos (still some of my favorite videos!), usually the videos are a tad bit quiet when you arent talking, Music really helps fill in those small gaps, keep doing the good work!
I love the edits, they look great! Well done!
Still rocking the Command and Conquer music. You will always have my respect just for that. Great video.
I remember when this thing was 3.7, I was really big into SRE at the time, which is just 8v8 squadron battles 1 life for those that don’t know. Some of these and a Churchill or two made the team unbeatable
4:25 Considering the average War Thunder player, that may as well be a whole miniseries
I absolutely love this tank. The gun is viable up to like 5.7 6.0 and beyond if you aim well. And the accuracy makes it great for relaxing back and picking off targets at range. I've actually shot down a Lancaster with the main gun on this tank from probably 2kms out. It was the highlight of my year.
I'm having so much fun with Japanese tech tree, it is seriously underrated 😅😅
This video seems to have more life to it, I liked seeing this. The editing was also very nice. I love your vids and I liked this one more. Also war thunder drivers ed sounds like an amazing video!
Glad to see you enjoying yourself in this one, 4.0-4.3 is usually my favorite BR as well
"I look like a construction worker" sir please get the image out of my head for I cannot unsee or I guess unimagine that thought.
Keep up the good work spook. Im noticing more commentary in this one which i like!
Love the Generals music that you use in your videos. Gives me a bit of nostalgia while I watch them.
I really like the sound design for the main gun. It sounds beefy but not over the top.
Personally i dont have problems with first shot against stabilised tanks since when im in a area where i suspect there is a tank or is a usual hotspot i just slow down to a constant speed (most of the time 20km/h) in which the gun is almost perfectly stable the only thing you have to watch out for is terrain if its uneven/ allot of little bumps it doesnt work well
But the idea still stands constant speed ( i have seen it work at near max on the VK 3001M) results in a stable gun, doesnt mean a stabiliser is useless it just means there is a way for unstabilised tanks to have the similar effect
combine this with tank wiggling means your avrg pub isnt likely to kill you but a person with some skill/ someone catching you off guard is still a threat
Thank you for reading my assay and my coping with non stabilised german tanks
the chinu was one of my first premiums. such a good tank man
Even the standard tech tree Japanese tanks that get the Type 4 Kou shell have a very satisfying punch to them, it's great fun - I'm a big fan of the Chi-Ri II and its tray-style ready rack, you can get some incredible kills with how fast those first couple of rounds get loaded. I'd be interested to see what you think of the original, premium AMX-30 though Spooks - the one at 7.7 with the .50cal instead of the 20mm cannon from the 1972 upgrade; a lot of people seem to forget that for all their autoloading, oscillating-turret designs in the late 40s through to the late 50s, the French did eventually adopt a conventional-turret, manual-loaded main battle tank like most other countries. Even without a stabiliser and only the Obus G HEAT round at 7.7, I've found it quite a bit of fun so far myself - and there seems to be very few people who even bother getting or playing it, which is unfortunate imo.
Such a cool firing sound.
Drivers ed for warthunder players sounds like a very good idea
If you like the Chi-Nu, I would also recommend the Strv M/42 DT in the Swedish tree. Basically take this thing’s gun, give it a 3 second reload, and make it stupid fast.
Ahh yes, you're one of those... Enjoy my bombs.
Don't forget having even more explosive filler. A lot of swedish rounds have 100 to 110g of filler.
but you the stock ap is pain
@@myopickid4180 Meh, when you've got a 4 sec reload, you only need to get the gunner, after that you can quickly mop up. It's the first shot that matters.
@@sinterso2.036 at 5.0 you start toface against trolling armor enemies while stock uncapped AP bounce a lot, but after the ammo upgrade it actually decent tank
1:43 I fear no man, but.. That thing.. It scares me...
I love this tank! It doesn't care about KV-1s, Shermans, T-34s, or Churchills
One shoting german Kvs and churchill's with this thing is my favourite thing to do.
Yeah, the Chi-nu II is also one of my favorite tanks in the game, got it to BP seasons ago from the warbonds shop and it was totaly worth it
I really liked the extra editing in this vid. Also, It would be cool if you did a vid on the M103.
I like the fact you use CnC:G music, it makes me happy hearing it after so long
Whenever i see one of these, it's under the mushroom cloud of a full ammo rack
I bought this thing during the sale because I didnt have any rank 3-above japanese premium tanks yet. I have to agree, the thing is realy realy fun and very effective. I think the big selling point is the shell velocity which makes aiming at range fairly easy.
I loved my chi nu II but what I love even more is my Ho Ri with a talisman slapped onto it. It's the best tank destroyer in the whole game
Love the editing in this video
You are like Patroclus, killed by Achilles' inaction in battle
Your background music brings c&c memories back
that was back when warthunder wasn't here yet
Yes
Kinda like this new editing style for your videos
I've been an absolute rat with the T55E1 the past couple of days, it's ridiculous what you can do if you flank wide round the edge of maps. Would suggest giving it a go.
Been partnering it with the F-82 and it's single drop 2 2000lb bombs. Fat plane but works quite well.
Man I've been waiting for Epic Thunder to bring the sounds back, and I don't know how much longer...
Me: Mom, can we have T-34-85?
Mom: We have T-34-85 at home
The T-34-85 at home:
I played this Bad Mumbo Jumbo back when it was 3.7. Got me through real quick!
there's something special, watching someone who spend so much to get a plane, just to nose dive into a ditch and only get 1 or 2 kills
4:19 times like these I wish friendly fire was still available, because back in the i sure did use it
War Thunder driver's ed is a great idea, you should definitely follow up on that. The amount of times I've had a perfect shot lined up, only for a teammate to ram into me and not only ruin my shot, but often expose my side to the enemy, is absurd
1:35
such a bruh moment you started mongolian throat singing
loved the editing on this one, not over the top but really damn funny
Drivers' Ed seems like a really good video idea.
this is probably Spook's most entertaining gameplay review
he's a lot less dry and way more charismatic than usual for some reason
Man I used the chi-nu 2 to grind almost all of the chinese tech tree back when it wasnt 4.3 and I ended up with a like 5:1 kd I love that thing
love vids where it sounds like you are actually having a grand old time
2:30 the snails physics engine is OP
Could you cover the Gal Batash? I love modded M60s and I would love to see your opinion of it.
Japanese long 75mm cannons were absolutely nuts when they first released the tree, I remember before their tanks came out I would always struggle with T-34s because they just kept bouncing everything, but not Japanese APHE, that shit just went right through like butter.
I like how all of a sudden i started watching invincible again and then Spookston just releases a video with an Invincible intro lol
Omg please make a drivers Ed video! Randoms need it so much, you’ll be doing the community a real service.
would be cool to see a video on the Type 74 (G) or OF-40 (MTCA) - noone really talks about them, so it'd be cool to see how you do with them.
great video as usual, though
Not to mention most of the Type-74(G) videos out there now are before the mass Japan nerf
-fires, no pen- "I would like to start my 3 part apology by saying you're a wonderful human being..."
Just got a 14 kill no death game in this thing a couple days ago lol. Not much out there quite like blasting enemies of the emperor while being motivated by imperial marches.
"Its mostly one-shot that penetrates basically everything"
Proceeds to do a LOT of damage with first 3 rounds
"I look like a construction worker."
Well, you are demolishing them.
the problem with early Japanese tanks is the lack of a cap on their APHE, which makes it bounce more, but it's not an insurmountable problem.
the chi nu II is basically just the swedish strv m/42 dt without the 3 second reload, and i can highly recommend trying it
Now i kinda wanna see you play the ho-ri prototype, one of my favorite tanks in game
it is cool tho I havent played it, but id imagine spookston talkin about historical accuracy every time he kills something
The Do-335 was the Lawn Dart before the F-16 was a glimmer in some engineer's eye..
You can’t convince me that the tiger wasn’t waiting until spook noticed him to blast him
I love the Chi-Nu II. It's the first and only premium that I've ever received from the daily log in rewards.
This this is so great. And it used to something like 3.3, where it was like you were shooting apfsds
you sound like youre really enjoying yourself in this video, its great :]
The chi nu II was my credit farm years ago to the point I was able to get to type 87 super fun tank to play but uptiered can be sometimes inconsistent
Great video. I love the jokier editing
Honestly the most shocking thing about this video to me is the use of the Chinese soundtrack instead of the usual USA one, its a nice bit of flavouring for it.
Cant wait to hear the GLA soundtrack for Russian or Israeli vehicles)))
im pretty sure some old vid of your's is the reason i got the Chi-Nu II and loved every min i played with it so much so that i up-tier'd it too 6.7 and did surprisingly well with a bit of corner camping and luck
Hey spookston, you should do an "everything wrong with" Homeworld Deserts of Kharak video. It's an RTS game, and there's a lot of hovertanks and triple, quad and even six tracked vehicles, so that should be fun
I think most of your viewers would pass a "War Thunder Drivers Ed" video with flying colors , but I still want to see that video
can you play the la-5? the first la-5 is really op for its br and i fell like it should be uptierd
i love the commenting and the editing so much
When I play: fighting terminators
When Spook plays: literal newborns that haven't understood object permanence yet
(skill issue)
Type 60 SPRG is an interesting tank because people don't realize sometimes that you have an extra shell ready to go.
