T14 is just a big gun breach like the british. Gonna be spending the whole game repairing that shit. Also, i dont think the t14 has ammo in hull, all of it is in the turret with no spall sheild. So, losing all ammo is very easy if the breach gets hit and the round passes through. Its only assuming the ammo is in the turret. If not, then a manless turret T series carosel autoloading tank. Plus, one shot into the hull will kill 3 crew at once.

@@indomieforlife What do you mean by low BRs? I've mained france for a long time; recently went through the whole german techtree and honestly it was a breeze to play in comparison throughout the whole tree. Not as brokenly op as I used to think but not weak either in the slightest.
Depends. At top tier they dont suffer at all, heck, they are the best nation at top tier, at mid tier they are quite good with the Pathers and the Tigers (incluides Tiger 2), But in low tier they tend to suffer, since the gun is not as good as it is on tanks like the Tertach or the BT-5, and while it has APHE, penetretion gets short in some tanks. Armor is Flat, and not very thick, so tanks can pet it easier than in other tanks of low BR, And then turret rotation is pretty bad and cant keep up with most tanks of its BR. Its still ok at low BR, but suffering is not an unusual thing.
@@HeRRydeRR If you've played french lower tiers you'll know this argument is beyond absurd. It is widelly known that BT-5s (and Locusts) club lower tiers but that's not to say germany or X nation is bad, just that the BT5 is overperforming for its tier. The armor is flat but okayish, it can bounce some stuff tier-for-tier, exactly what you'd expect out of a low tier tank; Guns are actually quite decent just not lolpen-tier. Filler isn't stellar but cmon, it's APHE, whatever you pen is as good as dead past the first shot (and you get access to HEAT and HVAP (on some tanks) quite early)... I simply find no reason to admit germany is bad at lower tiers; If the wording had been "not as good as their mid and higher tier peers" I might have agreed.
Challenger 2 is fun, but only after all mobility upgrades are researched. It is modelled criminally bad. But even the hull can bounce stuff which is very fun to play with. Anyway, British 9.7 is actually amazing right now with 8.7 Germans downtiering everything. So Challenger 1 is actually huge fun at the moment and certainly recommendable. Chally 2 not so much unless going through the terrible stock grind.

@@slavicco8368 Pfft, Germany has one of the easiest grinds to top tier in game. They never have a terrible lineup or bad matchups in terms of enemies they face, they don't have absurd repair costs, and they have some of the best individual vehicles for their BR and type in game (2A6 at top tier, Wirbelwind (after the R3) at mid tier, Tiger II (H), the Panther series, even the Pz. III is very good compared to a lot of its competition)
@@h1tsc4n40 I do, and it works, it's just annoying when it happens, since I chose to play a heavy tank for its armor - which, when it doesn't work, feels like more than a hindrance than a help.

It's basically a compilation of you shooting first, never even getting hit, and surprising the enemies... How does this show anything about the tank being powerfull.
Because the entire game isn't playing one tank in top tier. Give 6.7 line ups a spin, its nonstop getting stomped by american and british bounce houses while cas deletes everything.
No it's good because soon enough the Americans will get the A-10 Warthog. Just as you're about to get fucked by a Leopard, you just hear a bald eagle scream, and then suddenly... BRRRRRRRRRRT !!! A-10 destroys Leopard, and you are now saved my friend.

@@skybuprofen9834 i have top tier for u.s ger , italy mid tier for uk france... mostly all the u.s naval ships except for the new ones.
War Thunder became a point-and-click adventure game for top tier Germany.
8.0+ *
This is why im scared of top tier
Its fine but every couple of months they rape the matchmaker with the new shiny op thing first abrams them ka 50 then soviet mbt spam now german spam
@@willus567 I love the use of "Rape" in place of other adjectives e.g. "destroy, obliterate, fuck over, etc." Really drives the point home on Gaijin's "Ability" to "Balance" the game. At this point they should rebrand to Gaijin Masochism, because you have to be one to enjoy the game.
@@_nanking5374 Whenever someone asks me what I am playing, I always respond with CBT because both are about as enjoyable as eachother
It's like low tier with stabilizers and everyone knows all of your weak points
Sometimes it is just as easy as low tier if you have played the game for a long time
BuT GeRmAnY SuFfErs
Aktually their g91 are suffering
the low brs do but the more it goes higher the less the suffering
@@indomieforlife What do you mean by low BRs? I've mained france for a long time; recently went through the whole german techtree and honestly it was a breeze to play in comparison throughout the whole tree. Not as brokenly op as I used to think but not weak either in the slightest.
Depends. At top tier they dont suffer at all, heck, they are the best nation at top tier, at mid tier they are quite good with the Pathers and the Tigers (incluides Tiger 2), But in low tier they tend to suffer, since the gun is not as good as it is on tanks like the Tertach or the BT-5, and while it has APHE, penetretion gets short in some tanks. Armor is Flat, and not very thick, so tanks can pet it easier than in other tanks of low BR, And then turret rotation is pretty bad and cant keep up with most tanks of its BR. Its still ok at low BR, but suffering is not an unusual thing.
@@HeRRydeRR If you've played french lower tiers you'll know this argument is beyond absurd. It is widelly known that BT-5s (and Locusts) club lower tiers but that's not to say germany or X nation is bad, just that the BT5 is overperforming for its tier. The armor is flat but okayish, it can bounce some stuff tier-for-tier, exactly what you'd expect out of a low tier tank; Guns are actually quite decent just not lolpen-tier. Filler isn't stellar but cmon, it's APHE, whatever you pen is as good as dead past the first shot (and you get access to HEAT and HVAP (on some tanks) quite early)... I simply find no reason to admit germany is bad at lower tiers; If the wording had been "not as good as their mid and higher tier peers" I might have agreed.
Now I definitely don't want to research Abrams or Challenger or any other top-tier
Don't do it.
Challenger 2 is fun, but only after all mobility upgrades are researched. It is modelled criminally bad. But even the hull can bounce stuff which is very fun to play with.
Anyway, British 9.7 is actually amazing right now with 8.7 Germans downtiering everything. So Challenger 1 is actually huge fun at the moment and certainly recommendable. Chally 2 not so much unless going through the terrible stock grind.
Get the russian top tiers, i bet they will get stronk tanks eventually like the T80BVM or T90MS or even T14 armata
Adats is pretty fun.
meanwhile me germaning at 4.0: *cries in 1win out of 5 games with 1-2 baserapes*
4.0 Germany is one of my favourites with the panzer 4 H-J and stug. Absolute death machines
Ah, my german bias is alive and well I see.
Now, everyone! Say it after me...
"DEUTSCHER STAHL!!!"
When Gaijin quits caring, again.
*Most recent nation to get an update*
"Beg for your life in German."
Its utter bullshit how only a couple of tanks get these lol pen rounds and everyone has to play shoot the weak spot its not even realistic
I know right japan still doesnt have a round with over 500mm of penn because that was too op for the type 90.
Well actually it is realistic. But for the games balance it's definitely not good
@@wartomato4483 realistic yeah, but not at all fun for a video game.
@@wartomato4483 War Thunder isn't realistic
@@Solidboat123 War Thunder isn't fun either. I don't get why you people keep playing and suffering
Its not German bias.
Its historical accuracy.
- every wehraboo ever
lol
say that to leclerc s2 that stil has buggued armor and no ofl f2.
Yes.
But you have to say that may tanks in this game doesn't fires the real life ammo
@@ser43_OLDC unfortunatly, or fortunatly, as some tanks get ammo they weren't able to use (aka germans like leo a1a1, l44, maus and e-100, and others).
Can’t wait for the Werhbs to say “it only has the best round, how is that OP”?
as long as Abrams and t80 shitters are losing all is good
Yea ive seen whole german teams go on rants about the thing, the excuse I usually see the most is “Oh BuT iTs JuSt aNoThEr 2a5” while simultaneously stomping on a US-Russia team
@@Vulcan-is8tw yeah but you gotta give the Germans their moment, grinding out the German tree will actually get you to loose all of your brain cells, watching your whole team get wiped 90% of the time. So props to the guys who got to that top tier in Germany, I gave up on grinding them out at 6.3 after a year of grinding, then proceeded to grind up to the same BR in US in a matter of 3 months. It’s amazing how many bad players consistently play and pick the same nation.
The only real reason I loose most of the time with the allies is either because I’m versing Russians or EBR spam on friendly team.
@@slavicco8368 Pfft, Germany has one of the easiest grinds to top tier in game. They never have a terrible lineup or bad matchups in terms of enemies they face, they don't have absurd repair costs, and they have some of the best individual vehicles for their BR and type in game (2A6 at top tier, Wirbelwind (after the R3) at mid tier, Tiger II (H), the Panther series, even the Pz. III is very good compared to a lot of its competition)
Gaijin after watching this: Yeah I don't see anything wrong
yeah thats because the leopard is as good as this in real life too blame the countrys that are too weak to build a better tank
@@jrtu1177 they just don't use proper DU ammo for US, RUSSIA and France to make Germany competitive.
I wanted the Abrams because holy hell do I love freedom. But I think this is more appealing. *I gotta go change my pants now*
As an American seeing all these Abrams tanks get destroyed breaks my heart
Same with me and Tigers getting lolpenned : /
@@abercrombieblovs2042 Learn 2 Angle and you won't get lolpenned.
@@h1tsc4n40 I do, and it works, it's just annoying when it happens, since I chose to play a heavy tank for its armor - which, when it doesn't work, feels like more than a hindrance than a help.
Anyways, I'm not complaining about the Tiger H1's armor.
How could I when the engineer so generously bestowed an extra 2mm on all sides? XD
as someone from outside america i enjoy destroying them with extreme prejudice
@@abercrombieblovs2042 i actually think that the tigers armor is fine. perfect angle tank its literally a box
It's basically a compilation of you shooting first, never even getting hit, and surprising the enemies... How does this show anything about the tank being powerfull.
Because it almost 1 shots everything but I can take these on with a t62 if I shoot the hull the hull armor on the leopards seem to be paper thin

metal music: serious time
spookston: wiggle wiggle

M1A2- entered service in 1992
Leo2A6- entered service almost 10 years later
Seems fair
This tank made me stay away from top tier, probably until a new abrams or T90 comes
T90A is bad i always use T72B3 for now ;-;
@@byBook-qf8gg but the T90 has a better engine, firepower and turret armor, t72 has only better armor against heat at the sides
So lads can one of you explain how one claims gErMaNy sUfFeRs while they're literally listening to DOOM Eternal with a straight face?
Because the entire game isn't playing one tank in top tier. Give 6.7 line ups a spin, its nonstop getting stomped by american and british bounce houses while cas deletes everything.
@@mecham5818 Tiger ii is still very effective. German CAS is underappreciated and perfectly viable, easily able to match the air superiority of US
I’m starting to regret grinding the American tree
Don’t lose hope brother
Yeah, me too. Our shit is garbage. Best case scenario, we end up with the 2nd best ship in the game and the best jet, but yeah, we're done
No it's good because soon enough the Americans will get the A-10 Warthog. Just as you're about to get fucked by a Leopard, you just hear a bald eagle scream, and then suddenly... BRRRRRRRRRRT !!! A-10 destroys Leopard, and you are now saved my friend.
@@Dat_Zupra_Dude cringe
Should have went with the communism brother
it's 1 am and im back at it again with the Spookston CAS Death Counter because reasons
this video has 1 death bring us up to a grand total of 6 deaths so far
Had it gotten DM43 this thing would've still been pretty damn OP.
Heck, even with just the slightly buffed DM33 it still would've served as a good backup for 2A5 and vice-versa.
Early 2A5days: yeah this thing is imbalanced
Gaijin: “balance”by adding assign costs
2A6 is out:
Ah shit here we go again
Watching Spookston's videos is the closest I'll ever come to enjoying playing War Thunder
i m sorry for go watch a real youtuber
Honestly now that Russia isn’t top dog there going to give Russia like T90ms T14 and shit lmao just wait

"Leopard are dealist"
M22 locust : are you sure about about that?
The way Spookston uses Mick Gordan music is, absolutely fantasic, I'd totally just listen to this bit of the song on loop, it's just that good.
That's actually David Levy's "Trial of Maligog", also some Doom OST. But i definitely agree, i've enjoyed the OST a lot more because of these videos!
@@nicolasmatheusfernandesdos6229 Yeah I know what the song is, but the problem is when I listened to the entire track this bit was mid to late song, and usually I listen to doom music for it's pure raw power (in a way). But yeah overall it is a good song.
Welcome to war thunder folks, were EVERYTHING is balanced.
"a better version at the same br." Its the same shit with the pershing and super pershing, both sitting at 6.3 for some reason.
Id say the persing can be 6.0 with t25 they have trade offs
@@dozergames2395 hell a argument can be made for the pershing to be 5.7 as it's highly comparable to the Panthers ar 5.7
Or t55a and the am1
@@dozergames2395 surely but the super pershing still would be outperforming the IS-2 for example. There has to be a overall br decompression.
Most of the times I get oneshotted through the hull with my 2A5 so I am still kinda struggling with this "OP" tank.
bruh, how does you even get the leo 2a5 when you don't know the basic game knowledge? Do you use your mummy credit card to buy your way to top tier?
every time i see a video like this i forget the pain on grinding
Sad part is that the BMP-2M at 8.7 can frontally pen this things turret with its Tandem ATGM
Are you sure about that?
Fighting these in my 10.0 Abrams ain’t fun. It’s why I don’t really play top tier. It’s painful
Yeah you use ur brain and mobility to get in position. Takes precise aim. Fires
“Hit”

Welcome to top tier Abrams life bois. We are literally playing like the Vietnam soldiers and still dying.
My little brother: Just buy a top tier tank!

Thing is I maybe saw only 3 shots I couldn't make with my dm23 in the strv 122 or l23a1 in the challenger 2
u can t tell the burger horde this they ll get mad and cry to gaijin about them not having enough cas
Great video, and I just realized after a replay of Halo 3: ODST that you used a song from the game. Spectacular.

Diamond arent bulletproof, they are high hardness low toughness, easy to destroy, But i get the point you are making here
"Germans suffer, Leo 1.3 when?"
I haven’t played top tier Ground RB in a while and I think that I’ll be continuing that trend for the foreseeable future.
