Two wacky US TDs I wish were in the game are the T56 and T57 GMCs. Which are prototype tank destroyers produced in September of 1942, both were based on an M3A3 Stuart chassis and were armed with the same 76mm gun as the M10 and it uses the same mounting as the T55E1. The T56 would later have a gun shield fitted to it, while the T57 was never fitted with one and used the same engine as the M3 Lee. Both were cancelled/abandoned in February of 1943.

But that is kinda accurate. They set the fuse once and the rounds get lobbed to the predetermined height (range), they wouldn't change it , and they didn't actually aim at a plane very often. Other flak batteries would be lobbing to different ranges, higher or lower, so the overall effect was a consistent "box" of flak bursts the planes had to fly through. Imagine a number 2 on the gun trying to adjust the range of every shell to counter the movement of a plane traveling north of 200 mph, 10-20,000 feet up.... it would be slow, clunky and ineffective, just as it is in game now. Quick reaction and adjusting of aim was done by the faster firing, smaller caliber flak guns These early timed fuzes are like the flamethrowers and dozer blades, useful tool IRL, but in-game just a gimmick that's not really effective.

You should do the „One in the Chamber“ challenge using the (finnish) Charioteer Mk. VII: For every target, you only get one shot. If you get a kill, you can go on to the next target. If you only get a crit or do nothing, you have to consider your gun empty and move to a predetermined area (e.g. a cap) to get your next shot. Of course this would be easy with APHE or big HE, thats why I said you should use the Charioteer (I didn’t want to go to evil on you, and the 20 pdr is actually quite potent). But if you want, you can of course use any other solid shot (or heat for that matter, if it’s small caliber it still won’t always oneshot if aimed incorrectly) vehicle (or you can use solid shot instead of a vehicles APHE).

First day of asking Spookston to play the T114. It’s a pretty interesting looking vehicle.

My absolute favorite ground vehicle in game

I remember when this thing was first added because I stopped playing war thunder shortly after. It was a glass cannon for the br and at first German players had no idea that their ammo rack was in that box compartment so it was always easy to ammo rack them and this was a time before over pressure existed however it still worked for open tops and it was always a blast that knock one out with HE. From my memory it definitely got power crept because they added a lot more vehicles/nations when I returned.

challenge idea: spookston gets to play any vehicle but any time he says the words “pal,” “done for,” “absolutely,” or “boys,” he has to fire smoke

Spookston becoming a CAS main is the vilian arc I can really get behind

One year and 88 days of asking for the Foch. (I'm very pleased with the fact that the days thematically match the content of the video, since it's about the flak 88)

The way that the timed fuse works is that you use the range finder to select a distance that you want the shell to explode. Then it explodes once it reaches that distance.

Given your knack for somehow attracting every single CAS player's attention in almost every match, I for one am perfectly content to watch you take a fighter up to give them a bit of counter-tomfoolery.

I like when Spookston pretends to be unsure about a vehicles stats, and then proceeds to be bang on. Have some confidence my man.

Always good to see a Jingles landing in a video.

"please let this be a normal field trip ....with the flak bus?..NO WAY!!!"

Historically, probably the best anti tank gun man has ever know. Ask the Allies in WW2. Keep up the good work. You definitely tops now for a WT fix.

HIS CRIES HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!!!! YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, SPOOKSTON!

Spook- historically, that 88 had better depression when aimed anywhere but over the cab.

Spookston adverb dictionary consists solely of "absolutely" and "utterly"

15cm SiG at top tier would be very fun I think, 300-ish m/s velocity, suffering at long range.

The star wars seismic charge sound will never get old

The Breda 90/53 plays very similarly to this, just with even less gun depression and an even taller vehicle... But surprisingly enough, it's actually really fun to make work. And best of it, it can get god modes quite easily.

me when spookston plays tank destroyer as SPAA and SPAA as tank destroyer

And now we know why we're thankful that Spookston doesn't like aircraft. He'd destroy enemy CAS for breakfast.

spookston has become his biggest fear, cas

This is particularly fun with a few friends camping in obscure locations that are hard to see from the air, and then lobbing HEVTs at aircraft. Heavy bombers especially do not like flak clouds.
