So the reason why the Bradley carries so many TOWs in game is because in War Thunder, it's the M3 variant that replaces most of the passenger seating with extra missiles. The M3 Bradley can only carry something like two passengers versus the six or seven of an M2 Bradley. The M2 Bradley still carries a decent number of TOWs if I recall correctly though, something like two in the launcher plus four missiles in the hull.
@@Nebby_Webby Literally grinded German tree for PUMA, and honestly it is beyond disappointing. Too slow to flank properly, too weak to engage frontally. The only thing it excels at is killing other IFVs and destroying cars and trees. It does tank but i have no idea how to use its toughness when ideally you should hit their flanks and not brawl.
As said already it's not an irst system but Gaijin could implement it as one until they get it working as it is irl. The cv's shouldn't get nerfed by the snails unwillingness to program different targeting systems. The module is called UTAAS if you want to read up on it.

@@cheyannei5983fun fact: IRL every Soviet tank from cold war era has "spall liner" cause they were build with nuclear war in mind and tanks and BMPs I think too had insides covered in fabric meant to stop radiation effects, as it turned out later it actually worked as decent spall liner too
Fairly certain that european IFV's don't carry as many missiles as the Bradley because the Bradley in WT is the M3, not the M2. Meaning it doesn't have to make space for a whole squad and can just load up on missiles
@@Ak1M1223 M2 has space for 6-7 depending on variant and carries 7 TOW missiles, the M3 has the standard crew complement of 3 plus space for 2 scouts and 12 rounds of TOW
One of the main reasons most* European IFVs carry so few missiles - or none at all - is because IRL these IFVs are always accompanied by infantry, who very often carry AT missiles with them anyway. It effectively comes down to a doctrinal difference of having your missiles strapped to your IFV, pr having your infantry carry them, which has its perks since infantry generally have the better visibility compared to IFVs, and allows the IFVs to focus on the role of covering their infantry, while the infantry cover the IFVs by taking out enemy armour. The Swedes did test out how viable it'd be with ATGMs on the CV90 in the form of the Strf9056 (Strf 9040 BILL in-game), but ultimately decided that the technological costs outweighed the benefits, and decided that the infantry should be the ones handling the BILL IIs instead. *of course there are exceptions.
Dont forget that the bradley variants in game are in fact the reconnaissance variants, and thus have had most of the room for infantry removed in favor of having more missile stowage. The normal M2 bradley can only hold 4+2 missiles to my knowledge.
For the case of ATGMs carried at least for the British. Our warriors don't have the Milan ATGM in service anymore. Instead if it was to engage an armoured vehicle like an MBT, the infantry would dismount and engage it, as a British infantry section tyically carry Javelin and/or NLAW to deal with armour. The warrior is purely for transportation and infantry support. Also, the warriors are integrated with Challenger 2s for support. Therefore, it shouldn't technically have to deal with an MBT as the Challys would deal with it. British Doctrine, but that's in a perfect world.

8:59 UTAAS module, basically IRST without the IR. If implemented in game, it would function basically exactly the same as regular IRST; but Gaijin won’t add it bc they claim it can’t do the thing it was designed to do (track targets both on ground & in air), when in reality, they’re just too scared to give that function to vehicles that aren’t AA unless it’s the 2S38.
My favorite thing about the TAM 2IP being busted is the fact that the applique armor it has on weighs literally nothing and therefore doesn't impede it's mobility like it should because the snail just lazily copypasted the normal TAM's weight onto it. Though can't say I'm surprised considering that the Panther 2 was missing like 4 tons of weight for like 6(?) years or something.

3:24 yes the TAM is really good: stablelized L7 firing DM23, has a laser rangefinder, amazing mobitlity, good gun handling and surprisingly good surviability all at BR 8.7. So i think it´s worth checking out
love how all of spookstons enemies are always light vehicles he can kill in 1 shot or if its a vehicle with actual armor they are either not paying attention or happily showing their sides to him
As for the number of missiles in European IFV's vs the Bradley, it's because the Bradley in War Thunder isn't the IFV version (The M2), it's the recon version (The M3). The M3 replaces 4 of the seats in the rear with storage for additional TOW missiles, so it can carry 5 extra when compared to the M2.
Euro IFV's are designed for European ground combat, they're very good at it. You're not going 100+ miles away from a supply train so 4 missiles isn't a tremendous problem. Iirc the US has looked into adopting the CV90 and decided it doesn't fit our tactics and doctrine, but the 40mm is incredible... so we want a 40mm or larger on the Bradley replacement, the Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle. I think General Dynamics Land System's proposal has a 50mm.
3:20 TAM's are unrealistically survivable in this game. Sabot do not spall and APHE does not fuze. The hull is so unbelievably thin that its just a vaccum.
I've been getting one shot in them fairly often. Like it's not a bad tank I get good games in it since it's basically a lighter leopard but it ain't that survivable honestly, maybe the premium one is?
I shot the TAM side with T54(1949) APDS 3 times from 5 meter away. He simply turns his turret and killed me. i could disabled him first but he was distracted and i thought i have time to kill his crews But nope zero spalling from APDS.
On the one hand I'd argue that a modern Ifv should actually be ready to fight more than just infantry, but if you're a single ifv and you gotta fight more than 4 fucking MBTs, something has gone seriously wrong.
@@josephmurphy6127If you carry more missiles you lose infantry transport capacity. The Bradley he showed is the M3 which is a combat vehicle for space for 3 crew and 2 scouts (+12 missiles), the CV90 can carry 3 crew and 8 infantry men, + the 4 spikes
To answer the "why do European IFVs have less ammo", it's to do with logistics in an offensive vs defensive war. Basically having to stop and resupply after every engagement destroys an army's momentum. Not to mention how it's more difficult/dangerous to move logistics through a recently occupied area. Meanwhile a defensive war has none of these issues. You are fighting from a dug in position, usually with stockpiles of their own. If those run out, logistics trucks can bring in more without fear of running into a mine or an ambush by trapped enemy pockets. If that also fails, you can simply retreat to the next line of defense. And honestly, if there are so many enemies coming at you that you ran out of stockpiled ammo AND the logistics can't keep up, you should be retreating even if you have ammo.
The European IFVs don't carry less ammo though. The M3 Bradley isn't meant to be an IFV, its a scout vehicle. The M2 Bradley carries like 6 missiles compared to 4. Sure its still 2 more, but the spikes are also arguably more capable missiles in real life. The offensive war vs defensive war stuff is nonsense. European countries sell vehicles to all sorts of despotic and offensive governments including USA. Besides do you think that if an European country actually manages to defend itself they're going to just wave at the retreating enemies at the border and go back to normal the next day??!?! Like its just patently absurd to think that it has anything to do with that and not with it not being a scout vehicle.
Also if the driver is experienced, he has the barrel bore sight camera on his/her screen to judge when to let their foot off the throttle while assaulting to a firing position (esp. on a hill) to expose as little as possible to the enemy. The commander gives the order to get into firing position, the driver goes fullHD on the throttle to quickly get out of cover, the gunner has their sight higher than the barrel so he needs confirmation (usually non-verbal, just the tank doing the thing it is supposed to do) that the barrel has LOS to the target (if any). The gunner preferrably starts firing (and calls out to the radio) with fi-RE! so the driver doesn't suddenly brake. The tank has fired while moving, and it is now braking, immediately when it stops the driver engages the reverse (CV90 has two reverse gears) and the commander gives the order to get out of the firing position. The whole ordeal is called "the firing position rally".
The users of them consider them the best IFV ever, but that's real life, surviving darts and fpv drones with the crew harmed in no way but slight shellshock, while also dealing immense damage as they excel at delivering infantry. In WT they are all far too high in BR and lacking features that other countries get, listening to crews of them speaking... (Oh yeah if it delivers like on dev then my 9040 BILL talis will reward me majorly with improved damage, will roll HKP9A(FC) with it too)
Regarding the ATGM capacity - the difference is that the CV90s are IFVs whereas the Bradleys in WT are the M3 Cavalry Fighting Vehicle versions, not M2 IFV. So they can carry more missiles but have only about 2 spots for dismounts.
It's even funnier when you learn the CV90 is a possible replacement for the Bradley. Attempt 38: requesting Spookston to play one of the "Alternate" Top Tier tanks: M48 Super AMX 40 Olifant Mk 2
Not this CV90 though, the one proposed is the CV90MkIV, which has ATGM's, active protection etc, and would also provide some equipment commonality with some NATO partners who have signed contracts for the same variant, plus its manufactured by the same company that currently does the Bradley.
I love how in WT the CV9030 fuel tank which in IRL is supposed to act as as an additional armor is modelled so incorrectly that the fuel fill hole doesn't even line up with the tank. Great job Gajoob messing up the greatest IFV for it's time 👏
It's crazy it's at it's BR. But I once got 8 kills in an uptier without dying in Maginot. Wild. Think it might've been my first nuke, but my heart was racing so I got no idea.
Well european ifv usually carry little to none atgms Because most of those countries have at doctrine that stands on man portable agms helicopters and mbts while ifv are infantry support against other infantry and light vehicles of their own Also irl 1 spike = 1 dead tank soo there's that
The Bradley's also usually don't carry that much ammo either as they need to carry people in the back too. No such benefit was awarded to other ifvs because "balanz" including ones like the type 89 who verifiably could carry more but they choose to lower it to it's minimal load anyway.
I love *love* my CV90s. Except for this thing. I had to do a challenge once (get kills with vehicles from the latest update maybe? Or three kills from each tier? something like that) where the CV9030 was the only one I could use, and it was stock, and my god, that challenge couldn't be over soon enough...
You should Use the Soviet YaG 10 as SPAA. It has time fuse rounds at 3.3, so the CAS is stupid enough to fly in a straight line. Its hard, but getting an air kill with it is *extremely* satisfying. It is only bad at close ranges, but if you get the rangefinder, its actually useful as AA
The very very good thing about this CV90 though is the fact that it doesnt fucking blind you like the 40mm does when youre in gun sight. Also as a Swedish combat mechanic with a bit of experience with the CV90 the 40MM was directly tested on Russian vehicles with extremely good results. Good vehicle very very good mechanically.
i love the cv9030 idk why but i can reliably get atleast 8-9 kills per game with it depending on map (sainai) also use the comander sight for a higer fov and less zoom
@@alexmurphy6574 Would say that the MILAN missiles are the worst ATGM in the game but I remembered that the Type thing exists. Seriously though, I despise playing Marders simply because the missiles don't do a single bit of damage for some reason 80% of the time
@@exoticdachoo007 ATGMs in general are underwhelming. and need wider spalling cone IMO, MILAN in terms of trajectory and control in CQB and short ranges are better than Russian counterparts( BMP-1/2) and in long range they behave mostly the same.

El gato alt here, play the fiat at 6.7 italy, very satisfying if you get a center shot, and watching a tiger 2 push confidently only to get ufp by the 300 pen 106mm recoiless rifle is very funny
To be fair, most IFV IRL, even Bradley will not carry any extra ATGMs in the back, because its higher chance you will need to evac wounded or trasport infantry than meeting enemy tank. I fully think, that UA uses their Bradleys to transport infantry and do medevac and carry only ATGMs in the launcher .
If UA is still doing Soviet tactics then they're probably keeping the extra ATGM's on the outside, strapped down as best they can. That's how the SU-152 crews dealt with the abysmal lack of ammo stowage.
Pretty sure all CV90 have IRST irl. They won't add it in WT, because it would make the AA variant redundant. Search radar is fine, but also everyone gets the same proxy round.
The reason people and various militaries love the CV90 series irl, I'd guess is because it is so very modular, one vehicle that can be modified to do anything in the TD/IFV bracket which makes supply chains and maintenance easier.
Also it's swedish and thus concocted by some of the most insane designers ever, people who's idea of a MBT is a turret without the tank aka the Strv 103c, and it worked stupidly well.
It's always weird watching spooks because he always does incredibly well in tanks that I really suck with. Now he makes a video about an IFV that I remember having a very good time with and he doesn't do as well as I do.
Spooks if you did this yesterday and got bodied by 2S38 on Breslau, twice in a row, I'm sorry that may have been me. Funny enough I said to my buddy right after "That thing is painful to play at tier let alone an up tier".
the commander sight is awesome and i wish we had that same sight in cv9040's, i use that way more than gunner sight with 9030fin. so huge FOV and very good thermals. im here repeating ''use the commander fire control my man'' lol the new 9035DK is just so much better than this thing tho, and its a shame they made it a premium...
On uptiers and downtiers I also find the in-betweens more enjoyable. A 0.7 uptier can be a test of your skill, but a 1.0 uptier is pain, and in a 1.0 downtier your team is usually really bad.
I played a lot of the vbc-i 30 while grinding france and it has the same problems as this. It seemed like every game was either you get on a flank and slaughter light vehicles, or you run into a single medium 10 seconds into the game and die because you cant do anything to them

The European IFVs don't carry less ammo though. The M3 Bradley isn't meant to be an IFV, its a scout vehicle. The M2 Bradley carries like 6 missiles compared to 4. Sure its still 2 more, but the spikes are also arguably more capable missiles in real life. The offensive war vs defensive war stuff is nonsense. European countries sell vehicles to all sorts of despotic and offensive governments including USA. Besides do you think that if an European country actually manages to defend itself they're going to just wave at the retreating enemies at the border and go back to normal the next day??!?! Like its just patently absurd to think that it has anything to do with that and not with it not being a scout vehicle.
Also here in finland most jägers will get bazookas so the tank doesnt really need missiles.
that barrel thing is indeed, a barrel bore sight camera. placed under for the sensibility of "you see the target in camera you can shoot with gun"
Also if the driver is experienced, he has the barrel bore sight camera on his/her screen to judge when to let their foot off the throttle while assaulting to a firing position (esp. on a hill) to expose as little as possible to the enemy. The commander gives the order to get into firing position, the driver goes fullHD on the throttle to quickly get out of cover, the gunner has their sight higher than the barrel so he needs confirmation (usually non-verbal, just the tank doing the thing it is supposed to do) that the barrel has LOS to the target (if any). The gunner preferrably starts firing (and calls out to the radio) with fi-RE! so the driver doesn't suddenly brake. The tank has fired while moving, and it is now braking, immediately when it stops the driver engages the reverse (CV90 has two reverse gears) and the commander gives the order to get out of the firing position. The whole ordeal is called "the firing position rally".
@@eemilwallin3347 aye aye.
The users of them consider them the best IFV ever, but that's real life, surviving darts and fpv drones with the crew harmed in no way but slight shellshock, while also dealing immense damage as they excel at delivering infantry. In WT they are all far too high in BR and lacking features that other countries get, listening to crews of them speaking...
(Oh yeah if it delivers like on dev then my 9040 BILL talis will reward me majorly with improved damage, will roll HKP9A(FC) with it too)
Spottar faktan 👍
@@TheGrace020 Gud bevare konungen!
There’s nothing magic about the survivability. There’s one on display in Moscow that got a dead commander and jammed turret from an HE RPG-7…
🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
@@coolhandab5296How many tanks and IFVs do the Ukrainians need to blow up for you guys to get humbled? It's like a humiliation fetish at this point.
Regarding the ATGM capacity - the difference is that the CV90s are IFVs whereas the Bradleys in WT are the M3 Cavalry Fighting Vehicle versions, not M2 IFV. So they can carry more missiles but have only about 2 spots for dismounts.
Breda 501 please day 97
Please I beg it’s very dumb
Generations after generations have passed, but there is still no sign of Spookston playing the Struter Emil
It's even funnier when you learn the CV90 is a possible replacement for the Bradley.
Attempt 38: requesting Spookston to play one of the "Alternate" Top Tier tanks:
M48 Super
AMX 40
Olifant Mk 2
Not this CV90 though, the one proposed is the CV90MkIV, which has ATGM's, active protection etc, and would also provide some equipment commonality with some NATO partners who have signed contracts for the same variant, plus its manufactured by the same company that currently does the Bradley.
fun fact: the cv90 has been exported more than the bradley
It's the latest version of the CV90 not the one Finland has, and the latest version is objectively better than the Bradley.
I thought BAE got ruled out of the NGCV?
Disregard- the XM30 was rebulletined and BAE is back in the running.
as it should be, the most modern cv90mkiv is better than the bradley in every single possible way. so no not funny but rather smart.
I love how in WT the CV9030 fuel tank which in IRL is supposed to act as as an additional armor is modelled so incorrectly that the fuel fill hole doesn't even line up with the tank. Great job Gajoob messing up the greatest IFV for it's time 👏
My stomach’s killing me but your video is keeping me together rn
Hope you feel better soon
Ibs king
It's crazy it's at it's BR. But I once got 8 kills in an uptier without dying in Maginot. Wild. Think it might've been my first nuke, but my heart was racing so I got no idea.
Well european ifv usually carry little to none atgms Because most of those countries have at doctrine that stands on man portable agms helicopters and mbts while ifv are infantry support against other infantry and light vehicles of their own
Also irl 1 spike = 1 dead tank soo there's that
The Bradley's also usually don't carry that much ammo either as they need to carry people in the back too.
No such benefit was awarded to other ifvs because "balanz" including ones like the type 89 who verifiably could carry more but they choose to lower it to it's minimal load anyway.
@@rocket_sensha4337 The M2 still carries 6-7 TOWs.
that 279 fight is just the definition of cyber bullying
Could you do something with Phly and Odd in sim battles? You don't have to worry about cas and as a team you guys could practically control a map
every cv90 is equipped with the saab utaas sight which has irst, u should be able to track planes and helis even with the cv90120
Hope youre having a great day mr. Spök
The CV90 is usually equiped with a 40mm Bofors autocannon. "chefs kiss"
Not usually. I think only Sweden uses this version.
@@emilsinclair4190 Yeah, it's a shame :(
@dsandstrom93 nah more ammo capacity is something very useful against infantery
When celere sahariano
1:26 UHH SPOOKSTON YOU MIGHT WANNA LOOK AT THE BACK OF YOUR TURRET
2:46 He compared an IFV to Christ and was immediately punished lol
there is no god
@@ConfusedRifleman Enjoy hell
I love *love* my CV90s. Except for this thing. I had to do a challenge once (get kills with vehicles from the latest update maybe? Or three kills from each tier? something like that) where the CV9030 was the only one I could use, and it was stock, and my god, that challenge couldn't be over soon enough...
The CV9040C and 9040 Bill are amaziiiiiing IFVs
Gaijin be like "Hmmm, CV 9030, well, it has 9 and 3 in the name, and we have a 9.3 BR in our game. So the tank shall be 9.3".
M42 Contraero video soon?
he did that i think
@@somerando1067I don’t believe so. I’ve been watching for years and I’ve never seen it.
@@CT-ww7yi oh, no i was wrong, i was thinking of the spaa thing with the 75mm cannon, i got them mixed up
A Wirbelwind with a quarter of the ammo.
This is like the 5th italian vehicle recommended ive seen, WWII italy is very fun
You should Use the Soviet YaG 10 as SPAA. It has time fuse rounds at 3.3, so the CAS is stupid enough to fly in a straight line. Its hard, but getting an air kill with it is *extremely* satisfying. It is only bad at close ranges, but if you get the rangefinder, its actually useful as AA
Now play the PUMA at 10.0 which is just a more survivable version of this.
12:54 that Object was just beging for his life
The very very good thing about this CV90 though is the fact that it doesnt fucking blind you like the 40mm does when youre in gun sight. Also as a Swedish combat mechanic with a bit of experience with the CV90 the 40MM was directly tested on Russian vehicles with extremely good results. Good vehicle very very good mechanically.
The CV9030 is so bad Spookston didn't needed to get CASed
12:12 Spookston Started a boss battle
11:54 the most accurate background sound when encountering a Obj 279 in 9.0+
i love the cv9030 idk why but i can reliably get atleast 8-9 kills per game with it depending on map
(sainai) also use the comander sight for a higer fov and less zoom
Bro did a boss fight wit the Ob279
Video 58 of asking Spookston to play the LAV-AD with HEAT
raxdflipnote showing up in a spookston vid is not what I expected on a Wednesday afternoon
Will you do the amr 35 zt3 in the future though?
2:29 spookston trying to understand a non american vehicle (impossible)
Use Ratel 20 to see the Actual worst IFV in WT
u get MILAN in 6.7 though. but i agree everything else about it is bad.
I came here to say this lmao been using it lately and fuck me it’s painful
Trick to make it op, if you bind your commander MG you can poke just the launcher and the MG over cover and guide it without exposing your vehicle.
@@alexmurphy6574 Would say that the MILAN missiles are the worst ATGM in the game but I remembered that the Type thing exists. Seriously though, I despise playing Marders simply because the missiles don't do a single bit of damage for some reason 80% of the time
@@exoticdachoo007 ATGMs in general are underwhelming. and need wider spalling cone IMO, MILAN in terms of trajectory and control in CQB and short ranges are better than Russian counterparts( BMP-1/2) and in long range they behave mostly the same.
Do not question the magic KPz-70 players can pull off with their gun launched ATGM, I have seen and done some insane shit with that, including 1-shotting an Abrams frontally, idk how, never have been able to replicate it, but I did it once
spookston whenever you get bombed just remmember, "they are bombing me cause im to good for them"
El gato alt here, play the fiat at 6.7 italy, very satisfying if you get a center shot, and watching a tiger 2 push confidently only to get ufp by the 300 pen 106mm recoiless rifle is very funny
To be fair, most IFV IRL, even Bradley will not carry any extra ATGMs in the back, because its higher chance you will need to evac wounded or trasport infantry than meeting enemy tank.
I fully think, that UA uses their Bradleys to transport infantry and do medevac and carry only ATGMs in the launcher .
If UA is still doing Soviet tactics then they're probably keeping the extra ATGM's on the outside, strapped down as best they can. That's how the SU-152 crews dealt with the abysmal lack of ammo stowage.
i love the "its broken" atgm flyby
you should play the 9.0 Type 87 RCV
yeah I also want to see him play that one!
Spookston is the only youtuber that makes me check youtube everyday to see if there is a new video, i just love the videos that much
Aw, dangit.
Aw, dang it.
Pretty sure all CV90 have IRST irl. They won't add it in WT, because it would make the AA variant redundant. Search radar is fine, but also everyone gets the same proxy round.
CV9030 aactually has a bit lower fire rate in the game than irl
The reason people and various militaries love the CV90 series irl, I'd guess is because it is so very modular, one vehicle that can be modified to do anything in the TD/IFV bracket which makes supply chains and maintenance easier.
Also it's swedish and thus concocted by some of the most insane designers ever, people who's idea of a MBT is a turret without the tank aka the Strv 103c, and it worked stupidly well.
Day 515 of asking Spookston to play the Nashorn.
Spookston you should try the Ostwind
4:07 Yo its the Norwegian Leopard that i requested like four times before stopping because i didnt want to request the same tank for a whole year!
You stopped too early and all u get is a mentioning of ur tank in one of his vids
I like how it looks
When are you going to make a video about the CV9030 Fin?
estenba
It's always weird watching spooks because he always does incredibly well in tanks that I really suck with. Now he makes a video about an IFV that I remember having a very good time with and he doesn't do as well as I do.
Day 19 of asking Spookston to play the t92
You should do the t34/57 . It’s my main rn and I want to see how to play it better
Spooks if you did this yesterday and got bodied by 2S38 on Breslau, twice in a row, I'm sorry that may have been me. Funny enough I said to my buddy right after "That thing is painful to play at tier let alone an up tier".
This was recorded last month
@@SpookstonLet him dream, man. 😢
the commander sight is awesome and i wish we had that same sight in cv9040's, i use that way more than gunner sight with 9030fin. so huge FOV and very good thermals. im here repeating ''use the commander fire control my man'' lol
the new 9035DK is just so much better than this thing tho, and its a shame they made it a premium...
ANY IFV with apfsds is god tier
On uptiers and downtiers I also find the in-betweens more enjoyable. A 0.7 uptier can be a test of your skill, but a 1.0 uptier is pain, and in a 1.0 downtier your team is usually really bad.
Thats why i want CV90 Mk.IV be in the game... I know spikes arent best missiles but it would have something you could use against front of MBTs
Im 10k away from getting it and i was searching for reviews yesterday
Spookston- I think this match is a lost cause
Me- 90% of my matches be a lost cause
Spookston: Why am I so laggy (120 fps @ high graphics)
Me with 40 fps on medium graphics😞
nitrome must die sound effects hit me with nostalgia every time
The beglite is 9.3 too.... with I-TOW ATGMs and HE-VT rounds that easily take out helis and some planes
Waiting for Spookston to play something like the pbv302bill and naming the video as "An apology video to the cv9030fin"
I played a lot of the vbc-i 30 while grinding france and it has the same problems as this. It seemed like every game was either you get on a flank and slaughter light vehicles, or you run into a single medium 10 seconds into the game and die because you cant do anything to them
