Day 3 of begging you to play the Breda 501!

I can't believe you had to play this tank :( You should play the AS/42-47 so you can't suffer.

hearing command and conquer in the background hit some form of nostalgia

9:30 The front left on tigers fill out if you take more than like 6 shots, it was an intentional nerf from gaiijn.

Yea the Tiger is a good tank...if in a downtier...and the enemy is braindead...and they don't know where to shoot...and if you angle perfectly...and if the Russians (with artificially increased angled pen) aren't on the enemy team...and you don't get sniped from 4 KM by a cold-war tank...and some kid with ADHD in their M18 doesn't hold down W and enters your spawn before you've even left it...and you got 4k hours...and you don't get CAS'd by the aforementioned ADHD Hellcat who just got in a P47... That's a lot of "ifs" for a tank that's supposed to be good. I quit playing Germany after getting to the Tiger (The panthers are also objectively better in every single way), switched to France and have been incredibly happy since. My average KD on France is 2 (not good, not bad) and despite getting to top tier, I've moved back to the Tiger to see if it truly was a "skill issue" and to my surprise...no, the tank is just horrendous. The Americans teleport around the map, the Russians can drive backwards, the French if they're good can pen and one shot any tank, the Italians and Swedish get early APDS. For "how good" the Tiger is, you sure do need to do a lot of VERY specific things in order to fructify your "advantages", while other major nations and even smaller ones involve a lot less skill and a much higher reward. The tiger is not a good tank, if you're smart then you can pen it in a 4.0 tank (being generous) and if not, shoot the large muzzle brake. They're so hilariously easy to kill and I'm tired of seeing one side of the community collectively gaslight the german players.

Yeah, learned to use the round with a little less pen but much more explosive filler from Turny! Great vid Mr Spook!

Funny seeing spookston having fun in tanks that are from another nation but not in that tech tree 😂

Spookston: Behold, a video about the tiger. Viewers: spookston, this is already the 6ty time this year you've talked about the Tiger.

1:22 Only Spookston will shoot the cupola of an IS-2 when it’s showing its flat side armour

I've lost count, but I'm once again hoping for a Strv m/42 EH video... It's one of my favourite tanks, and it's APHE is quite similar to the one you're using here, with 260g of TNT it also tends to overpressure a lot of things. I would love to see a vid on that, I'll keep asking :)

The funny thing is how the HT no 6 is just straight up worse than the E due to having the annoying smoke grenades on the hull and has a late H1 turret, yet it still performs fine even at 6.7. Germany truly suffers

As soon as I saw the jumbo round the corner I knew the barrel was gonna get shot 🤣🤣

This guy gives me motivation to play another round so I can get one shorted again.

I'd really wish for another CAS video. The last one was so much fun.

spookston is the rangefinder when theres none

The machine gun port on the jumbo isn't its only week spot, around the transmission on the left and right side where the buldges are, you can pen there, aim it high enough and the transmission wont absorb it all and you can kill crew. Also, congrats on doble nukes, and you should play the 6.7 amx-13, love your videos

Really good video! Also, dont bring less ammo, the amount you already use is the safest possible amount.

The br bump is funny but especially so when both the vk45.01 and the command tiger P are untouched
