A low-tier British tank you might not completely dislike and I think might be interesting for you to play Spook is the Valentine I - it's obviously very slow as an infantry tank, but the 2-pounder is still decent at 2.3, and the armour can be very trolly in downtiers or if nobody knows where to shoot you. Considering it was one of the few British tanks in the war IRL that everyone agreed was an alright tank for what it was too, it might be a nice break from the British tank suffering cycle we all know unfortunately well lol Also I have that exact castle cutaway book still on my shelf, I read it so much as a kid and enjoyed spotting the pooping dudes lmao
Whenever I play british tanks, I feel pain. But most of my favourite tanks are in their tech tree . Great video spookston. Thanks for the great content
I had the weirdest sense of Deja Vu when you mentioned the, “One shitting guy hidden somewhere,” in the castle cutaway books. I thought that you must have shown a preview of this video somewhere or something. Then I realized, a couple weeks ago I was talking with my brothers about how they had a game that was basically an interactive cutaway book of an 18th century man o’ war, and there was ALSO shitting people wherever there was a toilet on the ship.
Hey Spook, you should play the Semovente 75/46 M43. It's a deeply overshadowed italiano tank destroyer which can deliver an heavy punch but it's deeply ignored the potential it has. (Day 34)
The m43 is dramatically over brd at 4.7. It should be 4.0 it's not as versatile or mobile as it's stug counterparts and has weaker effective armor over the transmission. It's 50 mm and shells go through the armor and the transmission and kill the miserable 3 man crew
@@justinkedgetor5949 yeah but it’s super low profile. Still, 4.3 should be more appropriate. I mean the Jagdpanzer IV and 38(t) are both 4.3 as well 😵💫
@@Kuschel_K yes its low profile but it's effective armor is rather poor despite being 100mm its virtually flat. Also shooting the gun shield is a weak spot. Finally it has a 185hp engine compared to the 300hp on the formentioned tds.
Attempt 5 of trying to get spookston to play one of these: Black Prince, Charioteer Mk VIII or the Pvkv II Attempt 3 of trying to get spookston to play the lvrbv 701 or the Lvkv 9040C, specially if you mention how the former currently costs 12 thousand to repair in arcade.
The black prince is just not fun to play. The nerfed cannon and it virtually can't move. Adding shell shatter they should lower its br. Otherwise it's trash. And I've owned the black prince for like 8 years
@justinkedgetor5949 Problem with the black prince is that if nothing can get through its armour, it's overpowered, but the second something can it's almost useless. Basically impossible to balance.
@@edwardking9359 it can be flanked easily by a medium tank and shot anywhere but the front and it'll be disabled or killed. It's turret sides and rear are only around 90mm flat. The rear hull is 50mm and the suspension plates are 38mm. Also any high velocity gun like the USA 76mm can actually pen the roof because of its slant and only 20mm iirc with aphe and kill turret crew. It can also barely move making a easy juice target for Cas. The hull deck is very wea at 20mm as well making it a easy over pressure target. The cannon has been nerfed 3 times I ca remember. A accuracy nerf to apds, post pen apds damage below 90mm caliber. And now shell shatter. Taking also that tigers and panthers can fight you head on coz 152mm armor flat isn't really that good for 6.0 if you don't angle. It's just waaaay too deficient in everything but armor and even then you can still be dealt with very easily. It's not a tricky vehicle to take out by any means for 6.0. If you get uptiered even to 6.3 it's buttered toast.
the Independent is actually the best landship, because it tricked Germany and Russia into stealing the plans, thinking it was a good idea, and wasting their time on making terrible landships of their own.
It’s not gonna be the best when it’s the oldest tank in War funder built in 1926 against World War two tanks. It’s going to struggle a bit because it’s a bit old 1926 was when it was made old
I love the independent, whenever my friends who don’t play the game are in the mood for some realistic I grab this thing and run around the map with my little ducklings following me
This tank was so shit irl, that its transmission would cause its rear to split open like a banana (they later re-designed it fixing the problem, though not without considerable effort) Edit : the rear left machine gun turret (the tall one) was meant for shooting at aircraft
Enemies in Spookston videos: literally blind, deaf and terrible, you could probably kill their teammates in front of them and they wouldn't notice My average enemies: Seal clubbers in premium vechicles, literal panzer aces, some braindead campers
I occasionally think about how, in 8th grade history when we were studying the medieval period, someone defaced one of those Stephen Biesty cut-away drawings where the annotation for "The great hall" was directly adjacent to one of those peasants that was in the middle of the act. Right on the margin of the page was a turd mid-flight and "The great ball".
Pretty impressive getting 14 kills in the HG Wells fever dream tank. And that chimney on the turret must be for the tea kettle, it is a British tank after all.
The Independent was built in 1926 making it the 2nd oldest tank in War Thunder after the Char 2 unless Gaijin add the Renault FT-17 or Mark 1 Male/Female WW1 tanks. The 3 pounder was a Naval gun hence the lower shell velocity

Random note but I love the commentary and jokes in your videos (especially the one at 5:06
I suggest trying the char 2c bis at top tier, it is a great troll vehicle and very survivable against Sabot rounds.
Im from the future it got explosive mass buff and turret armor buff very fun at high tier
