Im in German Mechanized Infantry, and i can vividly remember some exercises when we would fight against light infantry units equipped with these, and they are a pain in the ass as a opponent, because they could find ways everywhere and pop up out of thin air and sling a (only simulated ofc) tow at our marder ifv‘s. Love that little rat in WT though. Great videos btw spookston, i really like the combination of humor and your historical knowledge👍🏻

I'd like to see your take on the su-122-54, decent armor, the fastest reload on a russian 122mm, 14.5 mm machine guns, and all this at a br of 6.7. Oh and it has apds and heatfs.
@@Thekilleroftanks well its built on the t-54 hull iirc. with roughly the same weight and engine, and last time I checked the t-54 ain't no slouch when it comes to mobility being an mbt, an early one but still.

@@Thekilleroftanks I don't know why you'd call the Jagdtiger not great when it's rate of fire and damage were really strong. A 560 avg damage gun that reloads every 9 seconds with good soft stats was exceptionally powerful then.
11:07 Drozd vertical protection sector is only -6° from the launcher so it's possible to bypass the APS by just shooting low with ATGMs, especially lower front plate is easy to hit.
5:11 Fun Fact, the MG3 has a heavier bolt than the original MG42 in order to reduce the firerate. So the "insane" firerate is already the reduced one :P Regarding video ideas: how about "What if the Spz. Puma was historically accurate" ?
thats the first mg42, later versions had their rof tamed because, well that was a lot of bullets and the supply guys couldnt really keep up, oh and the fact it would melt barrels in minutes.
@@Thekilleroftanks Idk about the barrel part,they taught us to swap the barrels after one belt of ammo was fired,in consecutive bursts,so it would cool down and not get destroyed
@@redstar96gr57 ya but in ww2 that wasnt a thing. they just blew through ammo because well, suppressive fire is good fire. and firing 1200 rounds a minute will destroy barrels like theyre made from paper. worse bit was due to the russian winters their rof would INCREASE, so some insane figures of 1500 to 1800 rounds a minute.
The Germans in ww2 knew how to conserve ammo, of course they did. Overall ammunition was never a real issue for the wehrmacht the 42 was certainly less supply intensive than the 34. A much more simple piece of hardware even with the higher ammo consumption.
The Wiesel is also ratty in terms of it just being a complete Frankenstein of a vehicle. An atgm launcher on a mobile shoebox where the crew literally sit on the ammo like couches.

Germany: gets one of the best mounted AT systems in the world Also Germany: puts it on the smallest vehicle they have This is chaotic and I'm here for it.
The tow-2a has a fuse timer so It works kind of like a Aphe which helps a lot with killing closed top light tanks cause it overpressures them. Also great video enjoyable as always
Spokston be like "what if I did this horrible thing? It would be funny though." My brother in christ, the geneva convention for you is the geneva suggestion.
This BR has been hell for me, with getting the XM1 over the Christmas break, grinding out anything above 8.0 has been really easy. However Russia has been a huge pain in the ass, with me having a 35% win rate at 9.3
Spookston, you should really try the Bkan 1c. It’s literally a nothing or everything tank. Either you slaughter half the enemy team from your spawn, or you die instantly and do nothing. The embodiment of gaijin moments in my opinion
7:33 *Flashbacks of RPGs being fired from closed vehicles appear, countless bioweapons, nukes and partical cannons ontop of RTS games from an era that cannot be replicated*
Smol tanks are always a joy to play, just chilling in one spot hidden in some random scenery and one tapping overzelous heavies and MBT's that don't care to look for such a small target. Also can you do a video on the IS-4M pls?
i especially love the asu 57 for all the stupid spots it can completely hide in that you normally dont think about since a tank's turret would stick out there. it has a mean gun for its size and tier
Fun Fact: According to one of Spookston's QAs, this is his favourite German tank. Of course from a country renowned for its oversized and overengineered armoured fighting vehicles, Spookston picks one of the smallest ones they've ever made.

Oh so this is what you meant in that comment on OddBawZ's channel. Resilient soul, I salute you! Before Armored Warfare went to crap these things were hilariously good fun, either with the autocannon or the missiles.

7:33
*Flashbacks of RPGs being fired from closed vehicles appear, countless bioweapons, nukes and partical cannons ontop of RTS games from an era that cannot be replicated*
The worst part is that the missile launcher is apparently remote controlled in game, which means you can't just spray it with the coax and kill it
well you can still try to blow up the launcher, but yeah not having a gunner to kill really steps up the rat factor
6:03 the noise that spookston makes is priceless
Since Amx-10 RC is going to see some actions on the easter front, now it might be good idea to show how it plays in game.
