The Worst Tank Gets An Upgrade

I once called the Chinese PT-76 light tank one of the worst tanks in War Thunder. Gaijin apparently feels the same way, as it's being removed and replaced with Object 211, a new vehicle added with update La Royale.

If you have been through grief cycles for as many times as he may have, your reaction will be the same. My friend who had 700 hours in the game usually gets to the phase ii, which is anger, in about 20 mins into the game. For me however, I simply skipped past to the last phase, which is acceptance, after playing only ground RB for almost 1000 hours. The only reaction you can get from me playing WarThunder is just "Meh, okay"

The first battle after I unlocked heat in the Chinese pt-76 is still one of the best games I've ever had. I don't know why fate has dragged me to such shit vehicles.
A PT-76 variant potentially has a very op upgrade if added into the game. The original turret were replaced with John Cockerill LCTS 90MP turret, armed with Cockerill Mk 3M-A2 90 mm gun and equipped with autoloader.The upgrades also includes ability to launch a 550mm pen tandem warhead ATGM, A new Cummins VT400 diesel engine and Allison transmission, HARD KILL APS, Laser Range finder, and a stabilizer. Thankfully these are just proposed upgrades for Indonesian PT-76s but if Indonesia does buy them and War thunder adds it, Lord have mercy.

Nope. Not supposed to have a stabilizer. It's just one of the later prototypes of the Type 63 that simply lacked a few features. Good to see it, however, it's certainly a shame that Gaijin didn't go with the more unique and earlier prototype fitted with a 76.2mm gun, derived from the ZiS-3, that was apparently autoloaded. Really stupid that they removed the PT-76 though. Just drop it down to 4.7, give it APHE stock, and boom. Not like we don't have other HEATFS slingers at, or even lower than, that BR.
Gaijin could really add some Chinese IFVs like the ZBD-04 or type 86 or ZSL-92/B (I'm a China main)
Yeah, water seems to be very aggressive with everything the past few updates, a nice example are also the Patrol Boats bouncing around like they're in the middle of the heaviest storm while sitting in 5 inches of calm water in that Vietnam map.

Always find myself torn from these videos, on one hand I want to root you on but on the other I feel you're a good enough player that you don't need it so I start rooting for your enemies, either way it's always a good video.
That Jerma clip at 1:32 is gold
Hey Spook, you should try the italian medium Celere Sahariano, its really fast and people have no idea what you are, so they often shoot the higher top plate which is pretty well armoured
So its basically just a type 63-I but the engine is significantly worse. And jr doesnt seem to have heat-fs unless you just never carried any. Speaking of, the 63-I is very fun to play. Exact same as what youre playing just the actual mobility is significantly improved. Though the type 62 is really fun just nobody ever plays it mostly because i think its the only 6.7 in the chinese tree. But its a very fun light tank.
Love your videos, keep up good work ❤
Dude, your memes are amazing!
If only the swing fire would get a upgrade but you would still have fun playing it……. You can trust me……
Please do a video on game modes. I honestly think the game needs new modes or overhauls to current ones. Especially for pve/co-op.
Bro I been playing for years and you give me motivation to have fun and don’t let nothing piss u off

Hey spook, so recently, since the update, the SABOT shot seems to not work very well, primarily bmps, but my shots will sometimes bounce of the front. Even with a carefully place shot, i still bounce. Ill also see the round shoot straight through the tank, while doing no damage
I can relate to both the intro and the vidoe overal, for some reason even thou the Type 63-I is a horriable machine I do well in it and its acctualy starting to grow on me >.>
Finally your speaking in an more enthusiastic tone. Every other video sounds very dull and just life less plesse keep this up ❤❤❤

The excessive bobbing is probably what allowed you to get out of the river. Goodness knows that none of my amphibians can ever get up those stairs. I am a little surprised to hear you doubt not being able to penetrate a particular target and yet, you didn't switch to the ammo in slot #3.
Im just annoyed that gaijin decided to add the Type 63 thing after the bmp1 for no reason, so you cant have a satisfying trio of these in a row in the tt

So basically, Upsides: -good gun -good mobility -amphibious Downsides: -Your turret have the same turn rate as a KV2
