The American M60A2 Starship is often overlooked in War Thunder. It doesn't seem like it would be very good, but it can be used like a less powerful and stabilized VIDAR. I had a ton of fun with it.

Happy Sunday :) I had a ton of fun recording this one, hopefully you guys enjoy it. Still working on a large historical video as well
Haopy sunday to you too :)
Whoops misspell spook
Haopy sunday :)
Happy Sunday! :D
What about Radkampfwagen
Attempt number 3 at getting Spookston to play any tank with a dozer blade, but the catch is that he can’t engage enemies until he digs himself in. Movement around the map is allowed, however he has to dig in again before he can engage.
The strv 103 would probably the best since it is funny cheese wedge
@@pharthasa 103 for the pure torture of it, gonna have to dig himself a little circular grave everytime he wants to sit in a spot
Chieftain would be torture for that, great idea
@@pharthasa except it can't dig
@@RorywizzYeah, Only covers the LFP and even then the UFP is still weak. Also add to that its slow and British.
You know what else is an underrated mbt? The AMX-32
Very much but the amx-40 is much more fun.
@@TheOreoOverlord I love the amx40, its so fast
273 likes and 2 replies? Let me fix that
@@WarThunderAddict19i will too
amx-30
I know revenge CAS is pretty much expected in every match but that barrage of bombs and rockets was something else lol
Bro became a national threat 💀
@@ak_nora bro is a global threat because it involved a combined powers of NATO and Warsaw Pact
Spookston having fun with the M60A2? This calls for a Sheridan revisit! The same gun on a light tank hull sounds very fun with absolutely zero possibility of extreme pain :)
CAS has re-entered the chat.
And they are looking for light tank blood ☠️
Well not exactly. It lacks a stabilizer.
@@cuhyotepowered1201and laser
@@cuhyotepowered1201it has a two plane stabilizer.
It kinda suffers from being barely more mobile than this thing and having near zero armor and not great ammunition distribution. It's currently in my lineup with the M60A2 and the M3 bradley
Is it just me or does Spookston sound happier? Back in the day Spookstons voice sounded like he was tired all the time or even depressed. Now the way he speaks seems like he is happier and more cheerful.
He was actually depressed and tired from being burnt out and lack of motivation that's why.
that's what I was thinking but the change was so sudden i never noticed when it actually happened.@@Random_dreadnought
He plays warthunder what do you expect
gaijin
Not just you
Oh God the M60A2. This is... it must have been such a nightmare of a vehicle. Tried running it in the Atomic Heart event and GOD it just... it just didn't rub me the right way
I loved it personally, along with the M60(AOS)
Yeah for me the starship was a really fun tank during the atomic heart event for me, is 50cal did well against those pesky drones and I kept on oneshotting everthing
idk M60 aos feels like the only viable option to grind abrams with
it's surprisingly good it was better when it was 8.0 though. I honestly had a easier time grinding it out that the xm-803
In my experience, it's either just pain incarnate or weirdly fun, there's no in between. It *can* be a good time, but it often just doesn't feel like it's worth it
9:51 for the uninitiated (like me 5 minutes ago) BVVD is the username of Vyacheslav Bulannikov: WT's main produced and dev. His mother's references by Chinese players are because some Chinese tanks got nerfed (back when the Chinese IS-2's repair cost was higher than the Soviet one) and that caused Chinese players to say some rather unkind things to his mom.
Spookston receiving a Broken Arrow-style air strike by a quarter of the enemy team is peak Spookston
1:38 must have been so fun to play. Being able to play along your teammates is one of the coolest things in this game. Sadly its pretty rare
I'd say pretty rare is an understatement. Most of the time I just get some guy who goes "Bad team" while in next to last place
In my experience I rarely get people like this. I like arguing with them, their arguments are hilarious
@TastelessM-13 Definitely. Especially when they call you out for your position and being above them. It's almost always lower levels or level 100s. The in-between is so rare.
yep
12:52 13:59 Tip for HE slingers like this one: remember you can trigger overpressure by landing your shell under the enemy tank. It's way easier to deal with tanks with flat or strong roofs (especially at close range or/and in flat terrain environments). I play the Bkan and I found this technique quite reliable against IS-6s and IS-3s.
Thank you did not know that
Therapist: Spookston growling is not real, it cant hurt you
Spookston: 13:50
He's turning into his final furry form
@@pipopoikapelaa5468 the dawg
he's got that dog in him (a cartoonishly grumbly looking dog)
grrrrrr
I mean all things considered, it wouldn't be fair to compare the M60A2 with a T14 Armata
Because the M60A2 actually existed in army units, while the T14 exists mostly in vatnik's wet dreams.
Even then, only in the smallest of numbers.
The “coming soon” tank.
(tbh there were units REPORTEDLY produced… but they are so bad at warfare)
oh snap
The armata does exist (just isn’t being used)
@@xxxD3FC0N_1xxx What I meant by 'mostly' is that there is somewhere between 8-14 of the things in existence. Basically a rounding error.
you should try the ARL-44 or the AMX M4 since both shares the same gun and same ammo PCO-50 (highly recommend to use AMX M4 since the upcoming br changes moves all the 5.7 panthers to 6.0 and its funny to pen through the UFP)
After suffer with the 75mm jumbo that cant side pen tiger ... its very good.
yeah arl 44 is really good tank as long enemy don't hit your turret
I’ve never seen Spookston cooperate with a teammate before
(Has fun with wacky ATGMs)
"He's beginning to believe"
Spookston being a CAS magnet truly confirmed.
You already know what I’m gonna say, Radkampfwagen, but I’m starting to wonder, is it worth it, will Spookston ever play it? It has been 80+ videos of asking, and my only question is, will he ever play it?
Keep trying buddy, he'll do it eventually
mans having an entire character arc over asking spookston to play a tank. tune in next episode to see what happens
Nuh uh
You have better things to do in life. Play it instead
I've been asking for the Spj fm 43 44 for one hundred eighty four videos, I absolutely love it, but outside of a few likes, little has been done about it
"Oh no you took out my extremely unreliable 50 cal, what am I gonna do?"
*Commander dies*
"Ow :("
I died at this part.
maybe try STA-3 next time? 6s autoloader+range finder+decent accerlation makes it quite underatted
Most brutal spookston CAS moment ever
"ground" Forces...
Love your content dude, I don't play much Thunder these days but your videos are entertaining enough its fun to just watch as entertainment.
another spookston video to enjoy, yahoo
would be cool if you played the AMX-40 one day (attempt IDK to get you to play it).. or perhaps one of the OF-40s
The whole chinese 8.0 linup is pretty damn op, you get stabilisers on t54’s with 240mm aphe and 390mm heat, paired with a laser rangefinder. And counting the premium too, you have practically 3 identical tanks. The type 69 being the best one
I really like this thing, it honestly just looks cool. Plus its always hilarious that the Army's attempt to make a low profile turret somehow ended up with one that was *even taller*
seeing a video of my fav youtuber about my favorite tank on my birthday is a nice gift :)
Great vids spooks keep it up!
Yay! Another video from my favorite wt cc 😊
Good god, I remember spading the M60A2 a few years ago when I first started playing WT as an innocent novice WT player. It gave me my introduction to laser rangefinders and crippling depression thanks to how stupid Gaijin is at modeling HEAT and HE. But I did in fact acknowledge the pros and cons just like you did in this video! Good job! 💪
Gotta love when Gajin gives the premiums, event vehicles, and Russian vehicles clear and blaintant advantages that people will just tell you it is a skill issue for.
11:05 Least painful Spookston CAS experience
Great video Spookston!
Much Love.
Also waiting for a video on a German Vehicle.
I cannot describe how funny the shot you made @9:02 was. It was perfectly reacted to.
Damn i loved this video. If you can, can you do a video on the M36B2? You can use any Shells, its a really good tank destroyer for its br.
perfect vid like always
I love the way the M60A2 turret looks. Super cool looking tank.
Never thought to use HE with this, always enjoyed using it because the missiles were effective enough to meme, gonna have to do another run with HE
Good to be early for another Spookston video always makes our days brighter!
Love the look of the Patton tanks tbh and the M60 Starship has a special compact like look to it, too bad HEAT kinda sucks.
Just got this tank a few days ago and unlocked the missile recently, now i can watch spookston play it and learn from him!!
nice to hear it now, since im getting myself to resarch american 8.3 (besides AOS - already bought it)
If these and the Sheridan had actually gotten deployed where they were designed to fight I think they would be much more respected.
Video 119 of asking for T95. I love the M60A2, it and the AOS carried my US 8.0 grind. Missile nerfs were kinda tragic and its somewhat situational, but I think its still a fun niche vehicle for sure. Its hard to get the hand of the missiles but its not nearly as awful as TOWs are to use imho. Just aim a bit higher and compensate as the missile levels out (easier said than done but TOWs need to compensate 2 directions and the amount varies by range). Tbh their biggest issue is how ungodly slow they are
Spookston I love your videos, could you please do one on the British crusader aa the one with the 40 mm auto cannon. Keep up the great work!
Loving these ed, edd, and eddy sound effects
HE all the way. Also I found that any tank that has APHE killes Vader's reliably. And the T-34-85 is possible the best at doing it. IV been taking a full line up of T-34s to 8.0 and been doing really well with them constantly dropping 5 kills at least a game
no you don’t but I believe it’s good at it
@@notafrog2040 but I do and I'm constantly bombed because of it.
Might just be me, but i love the way the M60A2 looks
bro is very consistent with his upload schedule goodjob bro, love the videos :)
After watching your vidar video ive been inspired to lob he at people with big guns
one reason why i am afraid of top tier is because i think i would be swarmed with ATGM's, but apparently my fears are unfounded because they are awful
I love how the aircraft bombs you with almost pinpoint accuracy, but ground forces are apparently paid actors with how they are exposing themselves and walking into firing lines
It's because relatively, aircraft around this BR (and in general) have it very easy
@76trombones2 aircraft always have it easy when fighting tanks. Because tanks normally can't fight back.
Kind of funny the mode is called ground and just turns into planes. Why not get rid of the planes and make a combined arms mode.
I want to see Spookston try the T-26-4 with only the shrapnel shell. (Day 32)
He's gonna have to do it before the BR changes if he does. They're getting rid of the shrapnel shells on a few vehicles.
Ay new spookston video
11:20 Spookstons worst nightmare becomes true💀
The Shlegahs (Yes, I call them that XD) are actually my go to on the starship. You generally have to aim up so they don't slam into the ground on launch. then drop your aim onto target, like Sppokston was doing. They're surprisingly good.
This has been my favorite 8.0 BR (now 8.3) for years. The reload and laser range finder catches so many people off guard.
10:45 And thus, started the "How the hell can 5 people miss with multiple High Explosive rockets and bombs"
Just subscribed love your 🎉content keep it up
7:54 that was SUCH a genuine "good job!"
I'm glad you did this one since I'm currently researching the m60's! Would like to see you use the m60 Rise (p)
I come for the content and the dodgeball, fart, and metal pipe meme sounds.
Keep up the good work
Using that range finder at long range, it's one of my favorite tanks. It's epic. Dropping those rounds from above is almost always one shot kill. I've gotten two kills with one round before
Your plush arrived the other day. I’m very happy with my purchase
I get more outta war thunder watching you play it then I do playing it myself
the way me and my friends use it is HE main shell, HEAT backup in special cases and ATGM for helicopters, works really well most of the time
Once update 2.31 goes live (In a few weeks, or next month), you've got to do a video on the VFM5 on steroids. AKA, the Vickers Mk. XI.
Hey spookston, I'm going to basic training tomorrow
I would love to come back to a m5a1 video, it's one of my favorite tanks
I want to see Spookston play the Striker MGS, I'm sure it'll be a good time.
I was so happy to finally get this thing out of my line up because HEAT is just suffering
thanks for finally doing this one, I was one of the requesters!
5:56 hearing the jack-in-the-box song in my head right now...
Woo more spookston
Hey I love your videos, and would love it if you played the t-34e stz
I always like the vid when you put in the halo music
I love how wholesome spook was with the T-69
11 seconds is a new PR: earliest arrival to funny tank dog video
Great video! Please consider playing South Africa’s TTD next.
I played both this and the M60(AOS) in the Atomic Thunder event and was hooked. Currently grinding to get both.
You know, spookston is a really cute cookie when he isn't ranting about war thunder
Hey spook, any chance you could mix in some war thunder commentary videos like you used to? I like the gameplay, but I also like hearing your commentary on the state of the game, event opinions, update opinions, issues facing different gamemodes or maps, and what you think you could be done.
Me and the spookston gremlin plushie were amused by this video
Hearing Spooks say “shillelagh” perfectly just tickles my fancy yknow
Hey spooks, I love your videos. Can you play the conqueror heavy in the british tree
Sometimes it's not about the weapon, it's about the one who wields it
Nice video, mate
Another video of spokstoon, where I can get instantly captivated and humoured by his memes. 😂😂😂
2:54 That's a smoke grenade being shot. They added that so if you MG one it basically only removes that specific smoke grenade. I have found that if you hit multiple at once it makes a smoke scren but that usually requires a shell with more explosive than kinetic power, or hitting a row which is much more difficult.
"I have a crippling addiction to doordash"
The most out of context Spooks have ever said so far
Would love to see a goofy italian vehicle ethier the AUBL or VBC
One very nice thing about the starship is the amazing turret traverse and gun elevation speed, maximum is 40 degrees per second
The M60A2 was my favourite vehicle to play in for a loooong ass time, specifically because of the HE + stab + rangefinder combo. It was, it is and it probably will be insanely good.
The annihilation theme is so cracked man lol
11:19 Actual horror movie moment
Probably the most Spookston video ever. Takes a bad vehicle, does really good in it, and dies to a massive air assault.
1:14 gunner and commander completely unfazed by the loader turning into stew
Would love to see a video on the M43 75/46 please
Spookston on his way to play every high explosive tank except the type75 sph
Would love to see an uncommon soviet tank destroyer get showcased, like the SU-100P. Great pen for br, only thing is it is open topped (day 67)
My norse blood boiling every time Spookston says Vajdar
Spook, you get CASed so much because you get recognised. Since CAS is your favorite fans keep giving it to you.
Core goes wild, video on one of em tanks from the amx 30 family when
Gaijin on their way to forget the "High Explosive" part of HEAT
Happy Sunday Spook! Good to see you again
(Aml/Eland 90 pwease?)
Attempt #1 at getting spookston to play the wiesel a4, a ratty beast that feasts on its BR range
