It sounded like OddBawz was in the middle of asking if Gaijin ever play Britain just before you got flatpanzered. If memory serves correct there was a discussion a few years ago that revealed that out of the hundred or so employees at Gaijin, less than a dozen actually play the game and they only play USSR, USA, and Germany in Arcade.
The don't play their own game? That's honestly not surprisingly. Guess that explains why they don't understand how the solid shot is just bad and wildly unrealistic to its IRL counterpart.
Starting my WT tank experience with the British tree was both torturous and educational, in that having mostly mid guns and trash ammo combined with reverse gears that could generously be described as "not the quickest" taught me a deep fear of overextending and a love for safe firing positions and armor angling that would keep me alive longer Not that I recommend it as a starting tree, unless you're looking to really get into the head of a deeply depressed and cynical British tanker, in which case you've come to the right place Conqueror vid sometime? I know it's been done in the past, but I don't know if I've seen one since the last few major patches. It's... well, it's not good, but it does have a special place in my heart for some reason. Maybe its just that it embodied the disappointment and depression of the whole tree well for me when I first got to it
@wtdoober there's some gold hidden in the tree, no doubt, the gun carrier and archer are slept-on low-tier killers (also the archer is just so funny to play) and the concept 3 singlehandedly turned me into the light tank and scouting fanatic that I am. But lord almighty does the lack of reverse speed and the prevalence of solid shot and darts over aphe or other favored rounds make it a brutal learning curve for a new player. Switching over to Germany and especially Sweden after hitting the top tiers of Britain I felt like a god of battle with how much less effort it took to get kills on most other tanks. Still do love my British battle busses from time to time, though, they'll always have a place in my heart
From my own limited experience, British tanks are less bad than they are *extreme* (though some certainly are bad as well). On the old armor/firepower/mobility triangle, British vehicles tend to be extremely good at one and absolutely terrible at the other two. And even going beyond that abstraction they tend to be built around extremely niche playstyles that can be pretty weird compared to the playstyles of other nation's tanks and which may not be possible in every match. As a result they're... Inconsistent to say the least. And even when they're effective, using solid shot just isn't as much fun as nuking someone with an APHE shell and seeing their turret fly off into space.
I understand the conquer, it's still one of my favorite tanks just because how tanky it is most the of the time, I just the pre apds "buff" it used to one shot everything no matter where I shit, now it just feels like I'm throwing a 9mm projectile at the tank that magically bounces on everything
i used the christmas event boxes from a year ago to explain to my younger cousin why gambling is a bad idea. burned through a couple thousand of my SL to show him that all you can expect to get are the lowest grade rewards listed.
Sorry for you, I didnt get as bad of luck with them this time I actually got a Su-76M LMFAO its a 2.0 and sells for like 12GJN as of now that's what people offer but I actually got something but did waste around 1 million SL on the boxes and oh i got a decal also and all for the price of wasting my life playing WT. Thats all Gaijin wants is your soul just give in to the darkside. You will get no sleep and be REAL unhealthy and serious back problems and lack of friends and possibly could turn into a basement troll after a dedicated amount of time....😋 But hey I got a BR 2.0 premium Russian open topped tank destoyer FML don't waste your life the boxes are not really at all worth it I really wish I didn't play this game for over a decade nothing real good has come from it. Maybe a few buddies here and there but they usually end up leaving the game or leave and come back years later.
I would love to see you play either the Conqueror or M103 heavy tanks. These are two of my favorite tanks irl. I'd love to see you play them. The Conqueror especially, as I haven't seen it on youtube much.
I love how even if they trippled the shrapnel count and overall damage value for solid shot it would still come no where near the U.S 76 and 75mm APHE in terms of post pen damage.
The Excelsior is the unavailable tank I want more than any other. I love everything about it’s look and how it seems to machined from a solid block of armor. Thanks for playing it Spookston. And thanks to Odd for riding shotgun.
used the t-34-57 and ended up surviving multiple shots by two M6A1's by multiple im pretty sure around four shots per tank. so 8 shots total survived, then got pen on side by an M6A1 so yeah
Has been watching you from like ~3 years ago , seeing you going from sounding like you almost dead every vids to having actual emotions and edit kinda make me happy. What make me happier is could you play the T10M ? Thank you spooky for being my inspiration to play this god awful game
Sometimes I only hear the audio and I imagine the most probable image that would pop up as a funny gag, and when I actually pay attention to the video I watch it again and I find it absolutely hilarious I get most of my guesses right, keep making these vids, so nice 😂!
Gajin whenever they see solid shot ap rounds: "Yea these things were useless" Despite the fact that most of the time they shared similar experience to APHE shots.

I'm glad two of the most prominent WT content creators on the planet acknowledge things I notice and it's not just me: - Solid shot seems to get less and less consistent with every update - It's incredibly frustrating trying to figure out which rocks are modelled and which aren't since they started adding them (Karelia is the worst, but not the only map) - Audio gets worse and worse each update - The M42 Duster is broken and has been for years (crew don't die and it's almost impossible to ammo rack it)
Mediocrior should be called if it were by the building process choices like the cromwell (italian tank building method intensifies), so if it gets hilt by a handgun caliber bullet, it just disasembles itself with the pieces left intact ready to be assembled again like a lego set. The design it was not that bad (in paper) but the issue is that is based on the cromwell, so its like if a carpenter barely managed to make a wooden chair, as soon someone sits on it it just crumbles down by the extra weight put on it.
Every time I try to play CAP what inevitably happens is I see nobody until I'm in the middle of a turn and slow and suddenly an entire squadron is taking shots at me
The Ostwind/Whirblewind turrets are seriously busted. I've seen them bounce 85mm APHE and 122mm APHE. Its to the point where I intentionally aim for the sides even at extreme angles as its the only reliable spot on them.
I originally chose Britain and france as my main. Then after getting to like 4.0 on both i tried the American tec tree. Wow, it turns out this game is just a lot harder when you don’t have APHE.
The game used to be playable at one point with AP shells. But Gajin went "We know how this works." Then decided to completely make the shell performance unrealistic while also making APHE shell perform highly unrealistic but in a good way.
I got the Excelsior about a week ago from one of those Dragon SL boxes, sold it, and bought the C2a1, still think selling it was a better decision, could be wrong though, looked like you had a decent time with it. Love the video and the collabs with Odd :)
I love how on the roadmap they mentioned reworking aphe when we just want everything else to be more consistent and them to acknowledge that the post pen damage isn't that different between the two

Hey Spookston! Loved the video, and I wish I got this funny tank out of the SL crates, but I got something thats pretty rare from them. The Tandem MAI, you should play it for a vid!
Hey Spookston, could you play the type 60 sprg? It's pretty low profile TD with two recoiless rifle and i think you should play with hesh for a little challenge. Thanks for the consistency on pumping videos out!

Unsurprising. Gaijin can't balance shit to save their own lives. They are more interested in selling overpriced vehicles than adding more content.

because APHE is broken, shell momentum doesn't transfer to the shrapnel. It should make a cone, not a sphere.
also APHE produces way more shrapnel than it should.

Spookston waking up is surprisingly matched to how he plays
You know what they say about first impressions.
Despite me being dumb at identifying tanks, and him being a master at it, I somehow managed to realize, he called an m5a1, a stuart.

The excelsior actually does excel at something. The challenger is challenged and the centurion is just sad
Basically it's a Super Cromwell.
something so sweet about Odds trying to protect Spookston from getting cas'ed
Love how the solid shot ONLY seems to spall when shooting at German tanks xD
Small bit of justice, that 🙃
