Attempt number 11 at getting Spookston to play any tank with a dozer blade. The catch is he has to dig in before engaging enemies. Movement around the map is allowed, but he has to dig in again before reengaging.

As a self proclaimed ISU expert: 1:36, you should never aim at Panther's mantlet with this gun (122 also). Always go for the UFP unless the Panther has the high ground. Also I guess that's the closest I get to see Spookston play ISU-122S so I guess I'm content :)

That’s a good majority of Russian APHE shells. It has excellent angle pen and I thought spookston was going to shoot the UFP too but he just had to gamble with the panthers mantlet. Several games later he killed a panther by penning the side cheek of the turret at a very obtuse angle. Russian APHE shells are crazy. Lol

@lastsoldier4524

As a German main I can vouch for this, mantlet pens are rare, but any tank above 5.0 will go straight through your front

That non-pen reminded me of a Mighty Jingles quote from like 8 years ago. "Actually, the shell hit his gun so-" "I don't _give a shit,_ that shell's the size of a small child! It should've taken the gun, tore it clean off the tank and buried it in the hill behind him!"

@@dozergames2395 It's one of the old "the good, the bad, and the ugly" videos, a T30 planted a 155 AP round into either a Bat Chat or Lorraine arty and it did exactly jack shit.

2:07 Makes me so happy to hear someone call out Panthers for once. People complain about the T-34's driver's hatch, meanwhile the Panther is MADE OF DRIVER'S HATCHES. The turret is absolute volumetric hell, and the UFP is impenetrable for most guns, and resistant to rounds that are supposed to go right through it (looking at you, 122mm APHEBC).

@Daddyofdelights

Massive skill issue, 122 goes right trough ufp IF its not angled, and mantlet is easily penetrated if you shoot in the middle where its flat. I never had problem with panthers, its a cake for american 76 and russian 85, only problem here are whiny noobs that are crying just because they cant lolpen anywhere. Meanwhile nobody is saying a word how KV1 ate 152mm ap to the mantlet.

@MrDwarfpitcher

The panthers only place where you cannot shoot it is the mantlet It used to be different though, a lot of shells bounced of the mantlet into the hull before volumetric shells, which is why one of the higher BR Panthers is literally just a Panther without shot trap That said Yeah its just silly. I have had too many of my own 88 mm long barrel be soaked up by machine guns. Like shooting the American Jumbo in its one frontal weakspot tends to get nullified by the machine gun This whole debacle is therefore merely a product of bad volumetric shells

@@Daddyofdelights Nah the Panther mantlet is tricky w a 76. Yeah under 600 m no problem, but past that its really up to luck because it’s essentially a pixel shot.

Hey spookston, thr T-34-85 (D-5T) armor is a little busted rn. You can HE overpressure the crew if you shoot its 85mm HE towards the top of the front plate. Also works on the breech cover spanning the mantlet and turret roof.

@yordobelps

Continuing you can Overpressure all crew with as little as german long 50mm HE. Also you can overpressure the driver and machine gunner with as little as German 37mm HEI-T from the 37mm AA (Half-track, Ostwinds, Coelian)

2:58 i think this happens when you hit the radiator or oil tank of a plane and when it eventually knocks the engine out you get the crit for it

Gaijin should add the ISU 152-2, pretty much an overkill version of the regular ISU but with a much longer gun. If put into service, it would have been the most powerful tank gun ever fielded, around 18 million joules of energy compared to the M103s 14.5 million. Its penetration could come close to 330mm of penetration, and around 145mm of penetration at 60 degrees.

Funny thing about the ISU-152, the driver and the gunner are on the left side of the tank, which means if you peak around a corner only showing your gun and an enemy shoots at you, they can't stop you from firing or moving

@AtomicAlchemist

A lot of tanks have APHE which can still kill your gunner in this scenario even if it doesnt hit him directly

"See you later, aligator" this really killed me 😂

spookston knowing about the dracula flow is incredible. the isu-152 is a different beast as long as you pen you will always kill and the mg on top to get rid of mosquitos

ISU-152 is pretty cool! definitely one of ky favorite "Lol big cannon!" Tanks, the other being the JadgTiger, maybe we could see a video on that? :^)

You should check out some of the early Hungarian tanks from the Italian tree. The Zrínyi II and the Turan III in particular are pretty fun and interesting. The Turan has a crazy reverse gear, it can go nearly as fast backwards as it can forwards.

@joskarifinaukr6503

Why Italian tree? Is the German tree too cluttered? I've never heard of Hungary trying to license tank production from Italy. I guess I shouldn't complain. The L33 is hilarious to pilot. One of these days I'll even get a kill with it.

The ops room meme got me, nice one Spooks. 🤣 and the two-steps good bye was fun, but I'm more about ester and time fused mini nukes to the face. 😅

The Cromwell I is a pretty fun one. OK armour for its BR but a tremendous top speed and the 6pdr gun makes for a medium tank that plays like a light (minus the scouting)

My favourite tank, thanks Sppokston

Yayyyyy I've been asking for this for so long

I think you would enjoy the M2A2, it's like a bottom tier IFV

Can you play the JaPzK A2, its really good at 8.7, 4 sec autoloader, gen 2 thermals, laser rangefinder, and APFSDS, with decent mobility, theres even a french version if you dont want to play with german teammates.

What a mythical TD is the ISU-152. P.S. can we get a video with the MBT-70? :D

another spookston vid, another happy day.

Very good video. Its so amazing this tank

Day 8 for asking for the kv-2

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 124)

Love your videos, keep up the good work (hope your doing well =)

I think I too have the CAS curse, every match I play there's AD-1 and Wyvern spammers. It's absolutely chocking the amount of planes 1 guy with a Wyvern spawns and theresythe Wyvern backup ☠️

Out of all the SPG videos out there, this is easily one of them.

It's a good day when Spookston uploads. 🙏

always a good day when spookston posts

You can see pictures of what this thing did to german tanks. There's one where a panther got hit from the side with an HE shell that shattered the hull so badly that it looked like it was made of glass. I also read somewhere that in testing against a captured panther an ap round went clean through the upper front plate and blew the engine completely out of the back of the tank

This is one of my favorite tanks that I’ve ever played. The armor is decent when angled correctly, the gun punches through most things at its br and above, it even has pretty good mobility for what it is! My favorite moment in it was on a city map. I noticed a Japanese Chaffee on my rear following me, planning to blast me to oblivion. So I went ‘round a corner, turned around, and rushed him. The Chaffee panicked and bounced a round off my angled front, where I then preceded to blast him with 152mm of HE goodness.

152 can go through Panther's mantlet, it always could. That critical hit in first match, after killing the su-85 - was a died engine on a plane, you shot at before.

this video was very iformative thak you for the tips

5:10 Holy spookston blessed us with the I am my premiter meme before it was a thing LOL

Been thinking about the ISU-152, been having my fun with the SU-152. Used that in conjunction with the KV-1E to grind the TOG II, and I must say, very fun tank, took the grind out of the grind...

I think this is my favorite Spookston video😭😭

yay, spookston vid as i wake up

I love seeing you play vehicles that aren't upper tiers. Ranks 3-5 are great for me

Hearing dracula flow at the beginning of this video sent me into cardiac arrest

5:08 "You're up against the wall and I am the fucking wall!"

First time i ever played against spookston, GG!

0:46 The Seismic Charge sound effect truly is one of the best things to come from the Prequels.

One of my favourite vehicles to play. So satisfying :)

the HE round is really good too, over pressure everything in your BR range pretty much anywhere, one of my fun tanks lol

I usually just take full on HE shells in the 152 xD indeed very fun tank to play

Thank you for the timely release! Always wait to take my lunch until I see a Spookston Vid. Glad hes on Ohio time..

Attempt number 1 of getting spookston to play the ru-251. Also love the vid keep up the amazing work.

I had endless amounts of fun in the SU-152, and so I ended up really liking the ISU-152 a lot as well. I play France and Russia primarily for tank destroyers, and I'm currently at the SU-100. I can tell you this-- getting all of the modifications for the ISU was one of the best feelings ever.

Dracula flow and Spookston 😻Incredible

Thank you for an ISU-152 video. taa

>"tiger killer" >looks inside >no tigers

13:16 this reminded me of a story where a tiger's 88mm round missed a british tanker's turret by just a mere 4 inches

I was not expecting the Dracula flow at the beginning but it was bustin’

3:50 no truer words were said. It's extremely funny how it interacts with the pocket sand move where you can punch people from range and make them explode.

Love your videos Spookston. Have started playing War Thunder because of them. Playing mostly Japanese/British tree at the moment. In the japanese line is also one off those really fun tanks like the ISU-152, called the Chi-Ha LG with its 120mm caliber.

Rejoice seeing Spookston play the best TD in the game.

It's like every day when I'm playing war thunder mobile I a notification spookinston has a video

Spookston : you'll get 7 kills *me crying in 1 kill 4 deaths every game*

I think my most fav clip in this vid is spookston saying excuse me in French when not penning a panther lmao.

Only a minute in and spoopys already hitting us with pearls of wisdom like "20 seconds is faster than 30 seconds"😂

I enjoy you using footage of the Operationsroom so much lol

Spookston definitely had his Zoloft today

spookston in the 2nd match be like "YOU'RE UP AGAINST THE WALL AND I AM THE WALL"

finally the isu-152, love this beast :)

Just started playing this tank 3 weeks ago in the China tree and it’s already my best and favorite tank in the game.

The highlights of these videos are the perfect animal memes 😂

I’m at 4.7 and I love this and the su-85. Great to put in with the t-34/57

1:36 yeah, Panther co-ax MG's are very very good at eating any caliber shell and saving the rest of the tank

Aye Operations Room clip used as a meme, nice! 😂

This is the most versatile unturreted TD i ever used, the he is useful, the aphe is also useful, even the heat if you bring it to a higher BR

there's one ISU-152 at the tank museum in Parola and I can confirm that the gun is very big

“I’m the brick wall” I’ve never had an urge to paint a wall so badly

Fun fact about this things HEAT. It CAN go thru a a King Tigers upper front plate. Ive uptiered it to 6.7 before to try and managed to do it once.

Counting how many times spookston says dog in is videos.

10:51 the Avenger is technically an open-top turret, its turret is similar to the M36B2. that ring around the top is just fabric like on the ASU-57

I think playing the Avenger would be pretty cool. I like seeing spookston rage at solid shot + open top vehicles

Spookston shooting a Panther thinking it will die lol

1:35 I find it funny you went for the small weakspot, when the round could front pen the panther. Guess old habits die hard

When I played the Soviet td line I always uptiered them to 5.7 so I could grind them faster- because of the reload it actually performs better at higher brs

Im pretty sure that random crit in the first match was from one of the planes he hit with his MG running out of oil/water and their engine started taking damage.

Gotta love that Red Alert music in game :D

"We're 4.3" - Spookston as he plays a 4.7 vehicle

Honestly love this and the su-152. I may suggest the Chi-To Late again though, the guns pretty good for 4.7, even before a lot of things got moved up to 5.0 or 5.3

with the case of turret hits, with large calibre guns, it probably could dislodge the turret (but not necessarily fly away) or significantly damage the turret drive components preventing quick turret traverse.

Spooks: "pretty solid first match i think" Also Spooks: *9 kills*
