The infamous M4A3E2 Sherman Jumbo heavy tank needs no introduction to veterans of the War Thunder community. It is known for terrorizing low tier tanks before being moved up in battle rating by Gaijin, but it still dominates.

The Tank Everyone Fears
What's up
The sky
My blood pressure at 11.7
The strv 81 is
Please play the t10m day 51
You. Get better❤
The Jumbo is like bringing a knife to a gun fight, except you're in some armored power suit.
That is exactly summing it up
And you have a m2
That it's made out of concrete, But still weaker then Stalinium.
@@MM10567 Stalinium is a great material which in its pure form can only be found in Georgia
It’s like master chief when he is out of ammo
7:05 man this gets me,
“Maybe we can mark it for a plane.”
- Spookston moments before disaster
Plot twist: It wasnt allied plane.
they marked faster i guess
Plot twist: is VoyegeR bombed him hahaha
VoyegeR in his G.55S with a GP 100T Bomb "hehe Boi"
I'll say it again from Spook's old Jumbo video:
*"There's nothing more satisfying than seeing an enemy panicking at the fact they shot a Jumbo, and it's still moving & aiming it's gun at them"*
Hol’up
@@SaltyWalty
Wazzup Salty
Panthers are Just Better
Its* 🤓
That’s a very easy tank to deal with
The fact the Jumbo is quite literally a stop gap tank makes peoples angry reactions to it even better.
Shermans are probably some of the most enjoyable tanks to play, let alone the jumbo. Jumbo my beloved
Wrong! Poopie armor but good gun double wrong! And two negatives equal a positive :3
Talking about the jumbo dude.@@gaiusadonusmaximusxiv9629
My biggest issue with it is being uptiered in it.
My biggest joy with it is being the uptier in it
Bull
Sherman's are fun unless they have the 17 pounder 😞
tip for dealing with kv-85's and kv-122's: on the hull sides just below the turret, there is a decently sized 45mm plate that can be penned by just about everything at that br and lower (works when said kv tank attempts to angle, in the process exposing those weakspots).
You cab frontcpen is2s and t3485s turret right were the gun elivator hinges are
Right next to the mg
Spookston is best because he sounds so calm when he is really dying inside.
We gonna mention that he was in a game with Voyager? Or are we just gonna skip over that? 5:48
fr i thought im the only one notice that like the f their in the same match
7:09 Voyager cased spookston
As a German main I can confirm I have nightmares with the jumbo
Edit: I just unlocked the jumbo and it slaps
as ex german main: how?
@@alexstasko696 cuz I have a big skill issue
@@alexstasko696Its unpennable by the front Unless u aim for weakspots
K/D ratio of @joaoemeri9263 : 0,2 🤣🤣
Bruh just yesterday i killed 3 tigers and pt 76 in a jumbo while being surrounded by them
I’m gonna be honest, your experience with the jumbo’s armor is wildly different from mine. People usually go straight through the hull mg port.
Same dude. And panthers, tigers, russian 85s and 122s don't even need to do that, they go straight through ufp even if you angle.
You two have gotta play it differently, the angle only works on some tanks. As an American main, the jumbo is basically a tank I use to blow off steam after getting bullied in 8.3 (uptier hell) you can also always do the forbidden and just cover the Mg port
Also, try to angle around a corner where the armor is like 1000mm it’s very effective
@@UNPSC-0 even if you are lucky enough to get a cqb map, russian shells still go straight through ufp. The 85 doesn't care about angling.
@@UNPSC-0 honestly, after playing the 75 jumbo for a while and getting used to it, I do think it was pretty good at 5.3, but with 5.7 being constant uptiers, basically anything goes right through you with no problems. I still think the 76 jumbo is absolutely useless at 6.3 though, especially with jumbo pershing at just 6.7
I do want you to know that your consistent use of the command and conquer general's theme has inspired me to relive my childhood and I am currently working on all of the generals challenges in zero hour
Man, I feel exactly the same way. If you have any tips on getting it working on Windows 10, please send them my way. Forgot how I did it last time 5 years ago lol
@@TheLastRussianYTrun a virtual machine with an earlier version of windows
@@TheLastRussianYT works perfectly fine "out of the box" on Origin or whatever the EA store is called now.
I remember when it was 4.7, one of the tanks I did well in when I was still new to tanks because the vehicle itself just carried me
German cry babies bring it up
Once again asking Spookston to give the DF105 a shot.
It is not a bad tank and fits his playstyle nicely.
fucking love this tank, yes
Jumbo when you fight one: *Nigh Indestructible*
Jumbo when you use it: *Gets destroyed without killing a single tank*
The day that I non-penned the front of this with a Charioteer APDS is the day I learned to fear it
I love how spookston just shoots the T-34-85s barrel staright down the middle and is just casual.
Jumbo facing panzer 4's in downtiers: 😈
Jumbo facing jagdpanthers in uptiers: 😞
*Jagdtigers 😏
@@kimjanek646 Oh hell no. This fuckers shot barrels on jagtigers faster then you can move barrel 3mm right at them.
Fun fact, it literally can't fight panzer 4s even in a full downtier anymore. It went up to 5.7 and late pz 4s are only 4.0 now.
Day 7: You should play any of th cv90 they have good moblity and a powerful 40mm cannon along with having apfds as starting rounds plus it has he-vt
The Swedish Anti-Everything.
the Swedish "Fuck you's all around"
that thing? yes, i agree.
@@zerrierslizer1 Yeah, fuck you's all around, but only 25 fuck you's until you find yourself to be the fucked one
def should add the music from the demonstration video
tbh, I'd love to see the 120mm compared to the 105mm premium. Or 9030 and panther/lynx comparison.
9040 is the best allrounder though, could play it on friends account twice
Knowing the weak spots of almost every tank and being able to one shot them vs people who cluelessly shoot at you is hella fun. Gotta respect your knowledge
Exactly!
Loving the videos Spookston! I always look forward to another one coming out!
5:46 oh hey, that's voyager in his game!
I thought only I noticed but apparently not
Jumbo: "I have the best armor, nothing can pen me >:)"
The MG port in question: 😏
3:39 - back when the Jumbo was...what? 4.3? I played it with nothing but APCR. Shooting each enemy was like surgically removing every single component and crew member, but boy was it fun.
Also, hull breaking M10's with APCR was hilarious.
Yea but Gajin wasn't gonna let the Jumbo have fun because German mains don't understand what a weakpoint is.
so basically you roleplayed britain
@@aiedenoldstien9751German and Russian mains are diabolically r*traded players
@@connivingkhajiit Pretty much, except it was fun.
7:08 best part of ze video, tnx Voyager
A beautiful lil' guy. Definitely where my love for heavy tanks started. Even if the cannon is underpowered for where it fights, being able to actuallt tank shots is just so good.
Yeah I agree that the field upgrade kit would be a good add-on, and while I'm against adding Premiums, I'm shocked they never added the Thunderbolt VII as a premium. It's the add on armor kit one but commanded by the guy the Abrams is named after.
I personally fear the Vickers Mk. E in the Finnish tech tree. It’s small and reliable, pretty speedy, and is Finnish
I'll have to try it again, but I could not get it to work. How did you play it?
@@exxusdrugstore300 honestly, I just aimed really well, or got very lucky at the least. The Vickers lineup of tanks are very odd thanks to their small frames and weird turret and crew layouts. If angled the right way (usually by aiming the corner opposite of the turret, so the left one in the Mk. E’s case), you can potentially survive a shot or 3 while waiting for allies. Thanks to the small frame you can also hide behind moderate rubble or sharp declines.
As for the gun, the 37 Bofors plays a lot like an American cannon. If you can aim center mass to a compact crew, it can potentially one-shot. If you can’t, always aim for the Gunner, as it has a fast reload and can usually catch a tank trying to back away. If you’re using something like the T-26E though, it’s just a Soviet 45mm and can one hit anything at 1.0-2.0.
14:56
That shot went right in the barrel of that t-34
14:48 Halo Combat Evolved sniper sound effect
Spookston: maybe we can mark it for the plane.
also Spookston mere seconds after saying that: *Get's Bombed*
The fact that the Jumbo Sherman in real-life had more armor than a Tiger I is just hilarious.
Jumbo is the ultimate brawler. It can take a hit and keep throwing out punches to disable everything in its field of view, and it's mobile enough to get around the battlefield faster than most heavies. It getting constantly up-tiered (can't wait until the 76mm Jumbo is 6.7 next) is proof Gaijin doesn't understand that German and Russian players will always lose to a stabilized 75mm if they can't just straight up penetrate its armor and kill it in one shot. They had to make even the 75mm version fight King Tigers, because Germans just want to delete it from existence with the long 88mm, and Gaijin thinks that's balanced.
Tiger: I fear no man, but that thing, it scares me
Fun fact, the side turret of the jumbo can usually block the Soviet 85mm shell
There's a bug exactly on the sherman 75 right now (there could be more, idk) that basically overpressures tanks by shooting where the turret and cannon is connected, which is an absolutely ridiculous bug. You should maybe check
I thought it was on all cannons, as long as you‘re using HE? It definitely works on the 90mm as well
@@franzoloranzo7302Tested it out. Doesn't work exactly like the 75mm HE.
Why does no one take smoke shells with the jumbo?? Like seriously the Jumbo with Smoke shells is absurdly good because you can blind anyone and stop people from shooting at you till you get closer.
Edit: 13:35 YES!
“maybe we can mark for the plane”
Spookston, I don’t think you are supposed to mark yourself :)
lets take a moment to apreciate that at 8:08 spookston took the time to pick photos that had pretty much the same perspective for the edit.
For those who didn’t know, the KV122…..pretty anything that shares the IS1/IS2 type head has a weak cupola. The US low velocity 75mm can be pen their cupola and fragment downward into the crew.
3:55
as a sherman main with almost 2000 hours on nothing but 75mm shermans
"i don't think i can pen that anywhere"
correction, you can pen that thing literally _everywhere_
You sure?
Its awesome how he has command and conquer generals music in the background- my two favourite games mixed
The little "level up" sound you had when you had the two Sherman's become a King Tiger made me lol 😂
The Jerman Shumbo, I mean, the Sherman Jumbo, is one of my favorite lower tier heavy tanks of the US tech tree. I have both the tech tree and premium version, and I recall one match on the Eastern Europe map where we were losing and I whipped out the Cobra King and made a solo push into the enemy B cap, took out four or five enemies (plus main gunned an enemy aircraft) and won my team the game after they tried to push and camp our spawn.
Another match I had was the Sands of Sinai map with the ruined structure at the top of the hill; a Skirmish match. I was rocking it with the M18 with four or five kills before I got gotted, and I tried to use my regular Shermans to no avail. Eventually I got my Jumbos out and tried to salvage the match with just two other people left versus a team of five or six enemies left. One of my self-proclaimed rivals were two players with the German KV-1 with the long-barreled 75 mm. I had such a hard time with those things even with APCR and a faster reload. At one point I sacrificed myself so that a Sherman Firefly could come up behind one of the KVs and end it. I mistakenly switched to a plane and we ended up losing, but it was a good match.
Sherman Jumbo ftw
12:45 smoke alarm moment
Spookston: Calls a tank’s gun bad
Also Spookston: Proceeds to get 5 kills (at least) with it
You should use the Sturer Emil at a 5.0-6.0 BR. It performs really well at that tier
Ultimate can opener, with amazing depression. Until there is HE/HEAT 10 meters away or any plane.
1 shot hill sniper.... love it
When I started playing War Thunder back in 2017, I went down the American tree first because I just spun a wheel on what I would play. Got to the M4A1 (with the 75) and got stuck on it for ages. When I got the 76 version, I didn't do much better. However, once I got the Jumbo, I started doing much better (despite going down in caliber for the gun), and now, thanks to all the br changes, I really enjoy playing it, something that was very difficult for me to do back then because only sometimes the armor would uphold against the opposition, and the gun wasn't exactly reliable either (Never could seem to get close enough to shoot where I could pen, or get a different angle). There are still things I don't enjoy fighting with the Jumbo, and I'm still kinda careful with it, but overall it's one of my favorite tanks in the game, and if I had to be honest, for a new player in today's War Thunder matches, I feel the Jumbo is slightly forgiving to new/bad players. But, just knowing how to position yourself and where to go in general on each map, knowing how to use your armor effectively (especially hiding that MG port), and finally just a small bit of knowledge about what might be problematic to fight is enough to give you a decent Jumbo game.
i really love how the jumbo didn't really feel like a heavy when you drive it, the gun handle great and it move fast and responsively, what a great piece of kit
I just got the jumbo. I was scrolling through your old vids yesterday, but didn’t enjoy the old format. I’m glad you released it in the new one!
I always get full uptiers in the jumbo so my experience I it went from great to not so great. So now I only play my M41A1
Update: just took the Jumbo out and immediately got a full uptier against Germany
Yeah this video is like bullying 5.0 in my Jumbo is fun... Meanwhile any non full down tier means your gonna be fighting jagdpathers.
The uptiers are insane. You get put up against Tiger 2’s and you literally can’t pen them from the front or the sides with the aphe.
i just got the jumbo and it does struggle a lot, so much so i not only got trapshot by a kv-1 but also had arty kill me by hitting the front plate and its now the reason im never playing 5.7 us
I'm wondering if Gaijin will ever add the Palmaria SPH for Italy, as they've been on a mid to top tier SPH binge lately.
Or something completely out of left field they could add is the Sabiex HIFV. Made in & most likely for use by the UAE, it's an OF-40 Mk. 2 chassis with the turret of the BMP-3.
That would be one hell of a sight.
7:20 "Why is the puma so tanky?"
Idk maybe because it is a tank
attempt 8 of asking funny tank man to play the m19 spaa
12:41 the legendary smoke alarm shot
Day 5 of asking Spookston to play the Super Pershing
Fun fact; Jumbo is not an offical Sherman nickname, it was coined by a model company some time after the war.
Day 1: Id love to see you try one of the Swedish door stop tanks (Aka the Strv 103-0, A or C)
Pro tip: bring smoke with the Jumbo. It makes moving around the map much easier, and you can actually protect yourself against Panthers, King Tigers, Soviet 122mm, etc.
Not the low smoke alarm battery sound 😭 12:42
The cobra king, blackcat and M36 make such a potent 5.7 lineup.
You should do a video on the pt76B it has a stabiliser and night vision at 5.3
That goofy laugh at 5:33 is the funniest thing to me
The jumbo got me through the American focus tree and is probably on of the funnest tanks to play in general, that being said, please play the M4 Tipo-IC and feel the pain of solid shot on a bad chassis :)
...I thought that playing UK lets you experience that in all colors and shapes.
I actually rather like the Tipo... most of the time. Fireflies in general are great when they decide to work, frustrating when they don't, and it's about a 60/40 split there. Gun won't stop bouncing and stabilize, but once it finally does... it does some nice damage.
@@DerAlleinTigeryeah that’s true m4’s will basically always be decent, but I’d much rather have the stabilized 75 than what’s on the Tipo-IC. It’s just painful to play bc of the funky armor but the pen is acc amazing so yk
@@alexturnbackthearmy1907well… yes
something about the firefly just works for me tbh
Dude, the shell drop on this tank is ridiculous.(in the first round) They’re not even that far away.🫠💀
I agree but its not necessarily shell drop, but just HORRIBLE optics
im scared of meeting this guy in match
It's all fun and games until you come up to a German main who knows what he's doing
(Shoots mg port/aim for the side)
Mg port is rng AF
Volumetric made it even worse.
I miss the 4.7 days. I was the scurge of arcade players, from the guy who just got his first KV-1, to the clubbers in tigers and IS-1s. I once got 20+ kills on Japan, having 6 caps, and we still lost.
Day 65 of asking Spookston to play the t-35
bro the T-35 has to many turrets and plus da armour is kinda bad
The editing is so simple and so AMAZING
2:08 When your American tank is next to an Oil drum, it’ll penetrate anything, even Stalinium.
Yes. The art of Jumbo-fu is recognized.
The only thing I dislike about playing ground is that when the enemy team gets CAS going all of them seem to be Mannfred Von Richtofen, whilst our own CAS is deaf and blind.
I had no idea about the real life "armour kit" for the shermans. Love the idea of someone seeing a destroyed Sherman and thinking: i could use this.
"hmm... well nobody's using it "
6:13 voyager and spookston in the same match. I'd be so lucky to have that match ngl
right after u went to look for the tiger and got hit in the turret it went right to the war thunder add with upbeat music describing the different type of warthunder players as ur explaining how u play with the jumbo had me rolling
pumas when he plays: depleted uranium armor
pumas when i play: .50 cal-able nearly 100% of the time
I find there are a lot of players who play the Jumbo almost exclusively. Guys who have been playing a 6 months to a year gravitate towards it because of its ability to tank shells, but that ability only exists against players of similar skill level. That makes the Jumbo very trollable for experienced players who know how to kill it. The go-to, of course, is the hull machine gun gap. Then there is the cupola. The corners of the transmission by the track can be penned easily. If they're at a slight angle, you can shoot under the front armor plate on the upper glacis by aiming around the drive wheel. That shot usually goes right into their ammo. The trickier shot to make is between the mantlet and the hull. If you hit the mantlet just right, you can trap shoot em through the roof of the hull. Works best with 88's. 40mm spaa can pick a jumbo apart easily. The Leopard doea it best though. The stabilizer gives the leopard the edge over the Jumbo, especially if you have surprise, which is easily with the leopards speed. Just dont take long because he can 50 you to death, unless hes a total noob and forgets about his 50. You can literally one-shot a Jumbo frontally with Leopard spaa through the machine gun.
the jumbo sherman came about cause the us army needed a heavily armored breakthrough tank but did not have any available and would not get the m26 pershing which was originally classified as a heavy tank till near the end of ww2
3:48 are we just gonna ignore how he thought he knew what the tank was just by hearing it?
this video proves my humor is destroyed. "Oh, that things gets sabot doesn't it? Yeah, good thing we took that thing out" *ERRRRR*
I’m not convinced spookston knows that you can .50 a puma
Jumbo my beloved
*Dead Rising 2 crafting noises*
*M4A3 Expedient Armor Kit is made and applied to functional Sherman*
"Just like mom used to make."
I really appreciate the command and conquer : generals music
now for a video called “the tank that not very many people fear but should fear because it’s really good” in which you use the Panzer 3 N
Spookston: everyone fears this tank
Me with my Swedish heat:
If you ever plan on doing another challenge video, here's a challenge you can throw in there at some point: Become an AC-130. Destroy 3 ground targets using the turrets of a bomber of your choice. You can do this across multiple matches if necessary.
Random fact: US studies during WW2 found that add-on armor like tracks, cement and the like actually made the armor less effective, but the positive effect on crew morale often made the tank more effective anyway.
7:47 that one guy in first : only 8 kills?
MY BROTHER IN CHRIST YOU MANAGED TO GET A ROUND INSIDE THE BARREL OF ANOTHER T-34 AT 14:56
As a british main, i can tell you that sabot in fact does not trivialise jumbo fights, unless we literally have the high ground, the sabot will just shatter on the two angled plates. Most brit players will aim for the mantlet or use sabot's smaller hitbox to shoot the mg port
I never worry about jumbos because it's really easy to hit the mg port and their guns are always massively overtired.
Voyager not just appeared in the video, but also bombed Spookton
What a chad
British mains realizing the grind gets worse the further they go and face things like this:
Watching a jumbo pick apart an enemy as efficiently as a crab factory will never get old.
its even funnier when a jumbo bounces a Tiger 2 shell and the tiger 2 is panicking because its a Jumbo
Being a fresh Jump player is great, it makes you slowly develop the same habits as a serial killer.
2:11 The sudden happy wheels music had me rolling.
hold on, I know i'm a little late but I think that's Voyager at 5:53 activating the order and killing you at 7:08
