The Swedish Bkan 1C is a self-propelled artillery vehicle that fires 155mm high explosive rounds every three seconds, making it incredibly lethal to both tanks and aircraft. It is also surprisingly tanky. Due to its very poor depression angles it is basically only useable on city maps, but it is still a very fun machine to use. I wish Gaijin would add more vehicles like it.

@@iffracem No, it's luck. I swear, I have the worst luck in this game. Things like, two seconds after I set a fire on an enemy plane, it's gone, but my fires never go out no matter what I do. I get instantly pilot-sniped with shots over a kilometer away, but I can fill a plane with a couple hundred rounds at 200 meters, and it'll be perfectly fine. It's a hard thing to describe without people just saying "skill issue" or some shit, but I swear it's not natural. Part of it is Gaijin's game being inconsistent as hell, but most is just random chance not being in my favor more often than it is.

Thanks for the video, it was really fun to watch! Could you play the Tiger II (H)?

Best ammo is proxy only, shoot above the tank and it will explode downwards, keep in mind that proxy only works if the target is more than 250m away, if under 250m it will not detonate but just fly above them, on close range its best to shoot commanders cupola or underneath the tank if possible as its insta kill

Hey Spook, I recently got the USSR IS-6 premium and it is exceptionally good. It has insane reverse speed and has the same 122 as the IS-2 except it has more armour and the torque on the IS-6 is amazing I reckon it'd make a good video. Only downsides are really the slow reload compared to other tanks in its br but the reload for the gun is pretty fast, and it bounces shells really well, and also the tight packing of the crew so low survivalbility, typical of Russian tanks tho. Uptiers are common but it performs relatively well if played right, would love to see it, love the content
I like that the C&C generals background music is bring played in the background. Nice
that moment at 5:35 had to be terrifying for your enemy lmao. firing that shot, failing, and just desperately machine gunning as you watch that massive cannon turn slowly towards you
If ya can, do some more videos on the premiums that can kind of show how they are. I got a T-55 AM1 because I liked its looks and it seems quite fun to use
You should play the Breda 501, seems like a vehicle you might like cosidering it's pretty speedy with a very good cannon for it's BR.

Love now when I look up Yudintsev brothers only your channel comes up..
Imagine if they added the Emil III with its 150mm autoloader and actual armor. The game would never recover.
The Bandkanon 1A and Artillerikanonvagn 151 should also be added. The later would make a nice event vehicle.
I think the proper role and all the power of these vehicles is to use them for their intended purpose as field artillery. Stand behind a gentle hill, out of reach of others, and fire ammo with a proximity fuse at groups of vehicles, incapacitating several targets at once. To achieve this, you first have to get tired and play like a tank destroyer until you research fuse ammo. I saw my teammate play that with his G6. Not only that - he was also able to shoot down planes with ammunition with a proximity fuse.
At this point these videos are the only thing keeping me playing the game
Just wanna say i love your War thunder content. Its actually super entertaining
GOD THIS GAME IS SO INCONSISTENT IT MAKES ME FURIOUS LOL
Not sure if anybody else said it, but I think that bkan is best loaded with proxy shells only. On direct hits they work pretty much the same as the normal shells. I know that some claim they don't, but i could not see any difference. On the other hand, proxy shells are great for shooting approximate location and getting hidden light tanks. I love taking a random shot into a cap and exploding a hidden light tank. Also, with proxies, bkan becomes useful on hills. It's so satisfying taking it tanks that think they are hidden behind a depression. Finally, with only proxy shells, one is always ready for an aircraft.
I love consistency of most BIG HE slingshots Sometims its 1 shot one kill Sometimes even splash kill And then there are moments when your shell detonates st tip of enemy barrel not even making it yellow
goldilocks tastes the soup: 7:37 this one is too hot 7:40 this one is too cold 7:43 this one is just right
gotta love the C&C generals sondtrack
My frend's favorite tank is Bkan 1c and here is a tip from him "use proxy rounds because they behave just as normal HE but if the target is more than 300m away you can shoot over it and kill him"
Just to let you know ,your doggy memes got me suscribed
A real man takes out the Type 75 SPH and guesses and checks over the course of 5-6 shots
I love how you call this thing the Ban Cannon. Probably makes shooting that doomtube even more fun.
I like the low velocity HE shells because over distances, they'll curve down and hopefully hit the roofs of the thing I fired upon. Whereas the high velocity ones kind of just go straight-ish and not curve down on a weak point, very inconvenient and inconsistent. But that's just me after getting used to all the low velocity stuff. I love my high caliber HE lobers. Obj. 120 HE lobbing is fun.
love the game and these references
I really want you to play the Black Prince. I know, british tanks. But the Black Prince, skink and wyvern is my favourite combirnation to play. At her own tier the Black Prince bounces 90% of the time with just a little angling. Normally around 20° and the APDS shell is really fun to use
What suprised me the most when I played it was the survivability, this thing for some reason has the ability to just refuse to die
Fun fact I learned after getting the bkan…. You can over pressure mbts by hitting there 50 cals. You can knock out the crew of a super Pershing by hitting the extra armor on the turret. Also you can knock out any tank by hitting there 50 cals
"It fires very quickly" Why does everything make me feel personally attacked
Spookston content has the best war thunder and funny doggo memes in the same place. This may or may not be because Spookston is the only one combining funny doggo and war thunder, but take that as you will.
The "backup" is a far superior spa... instantly accessible, cheap to maintain, better at sending accurate shots from cover
The fact I’ve somehow bounced 85mm shots off the side of this thing at 90 deg from 150m away kills me inside everytime, esp when spookston says ”This this is lightly armoured” 💀
I'm convinced spook has a several terabyte large folder of cat and dog memes

Good old c&c generals USA theme during the vid, how nostalgic.
That music is such a nostalgia hit.
spookton, best tactic on the howitzer with proxy fuzes.. is shoot above the tanks so the explosion goes down.. also proxy as minimum arming distance.. foundout that the hard way in Type 75 SPG
Oh, can't wait to one day see PzH 2000 and RH 2000 in the german tree. Also, comment 1 for suggesting the Dicker Max SPG, my second favourite tank ever. Got 65% WR and a 2.0 KD in it (that's really good for me with average 0.8 to 1.0 KD). And regular 5+kill games.
Wait that is something *proceeds to send a 155mm round straight at their tank*
On the topic of swedish things with fast autoloaders, a video on the SAV 20.12.48 would be very cool to see, it's a fast little fuck with an amazing reload for 5 shells that can actually kill tanks. I haven't seen anyone playing it in so long, and my love for it was reignited when they brought it back for Swedish Armed Forces Day.
I use it in my top tier lineup. The only derp gun you can use there without beeing useless after firing. maps with chokepoints and this thing is a monster
The Swedes know how to make some strange looking, but really cool vehicles.
best thing about this Artillery is that you can bait enemy players firing in the air first shell and after 2 seconds those poor souls, while still rolling out on you, are dead
I love playing artillery vehicles in WT... spawn, dial 2000, aim at the enemy spawn and start letting proxy rounds rain
Gotta say, the Ikv 72 is super for early games however the Spj fm/43-44 is a beast up to rank 3. I still use it to great success skipping almost every other vehicle.
When playing the post ww2 American tanks, it sometimes felt like those weird engine vents made the tanks count as being open top if it comes to getting hit by HE shells...
7:35 This tank's life is just PAIN.
