Of all the landships in War Thunder, the A1E1 Independent is probably my least favorite. Whereas the other low tier heavies have some sort of gimmick with the armament, the Independent has a single 3-pounder. It is possible to club with it, but expect to get some Gaijin moments.

Britain Makes Worst Landship, Asked To Leave Allies
Sorry Britain
Aleco when?
hi
Please may you do the asu 85, it is a great tank :(
H34 with 50kg bombs ? :)
Never be sorry for the british
Spook tries to play a British tank without calling it the worst challenge: Impossible
he has called bad the Warrior and Archer despite doing stupid well in them
@@wickendiana8310youtuber moment
Two words : solid shot
@@TinyBearTim Two more : HESH,APDS.I'm amazed they didn't get Composite Rigid Armor Piercing to complete the quartet of shit.
@@TinyBearTim British solid shot is the only one that actually does a lot of damage though
Love how he always says the vehicle sucks and then proceeds to dominate almost every match he plays. Classic Spookston.
To be fair, it is low-tier. "Dominating" there can be accomplished by anyone with more than two brain cells.
You don't know how many times he tried & failed.
I don't think I've ever seen a "proper" tank unable to pen the PZ4 turret, that's like... an achievement.
*cough *cough t28 soviet speedy landship before spaded
Never seen this. Hilarious. Try the type 75 SPG?
@@ijfouse the type 75 spg? The 155mm Canon? If ure talking about the 155mm type 75, man Dats an amazing tank, it WILL pen a pz4 turret for sure lol, and also annihilate it
Low BR French Tanks: Are we a joke to you!?
Me: As a matter of fact, yes.
@@ijfouseright. The “self propelled gun” ofc. That’s a “proper” tank
At 12:44 you ask why you’d set the bombs at such a long timer and I always do it because the comedy aspect of someone staring at a bomb for a minute is worth it for me
As a British main, I can agree
Why am I making myself play this nation?
for me its the goddamn cool churchill & centurion tanks
Because of the amazing SABO! *shell shattered*
British tanks are like Hard Mode for WT. I enjoy... some of them. There are some stinker though. Like the Centurions and some of the Vickers.
They look cool for the most part.
Sadist?
6:47 I love the fact that despite adding several god awful new maps every update gaijin still gives the same one multiple times in a row
Now all you have to do is play the Ro-Go and the T-35 to complete the interwar heavy tank experience
10:12 Holy shit, what a blast from the past. I love hearing about shared childhood moments, like that castle book, or "helping" your dad fix the car by holding the light and getting yelled at. Ah, memories.
fun fact: the back left MG turret was designed to be taller so it could engage low-flying aircraft.
being on a ship, it is known as Port and Aft!
@@tonedeaftachankagaming457larboard and starboard!
@@tonedeaftachankagaming457 That's amidship to you.
Wishful engineering
Those books at 10:11, I loved looking at every tiny details for hours
“The gunners dead!”
“Oy, Dont worry mate we got 4 more”
Sometimes I wonder if there’s a parallel universe where Gaijin doesn’t viciously hate British tanks for some reason
WT's rendition of British shells: **Passes through your tank without damage cutely**
Politely*
Or gets eaten by a none essentially part like the fuel tank.
*Shell shattered*
Lands in a water container and starts brewing
@@Journey_to_who_knows Spews out tea leaves like a Daisy Cutter bomb.
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
@@binding278 Don't worry my dude, Spookston's a big lad, he still enjoys some tanks that aren't his perfect preference of speed
Dude he'll hate the Valentine, better off recommending him play the Crusader or Cromwell and he won't bitch about them being abhorrently slow
The 2pdr goes pew PLINK pew PLINK pew PLINK.
The tank goes [lawn mower sounds]
Pz/StuH goes "you were killed by"
@@tigersympathiser2265 He'll still whinge about solid shot tho.
To be fair half the issues facing British tanks in game aren't so much historical as they are Gaijin being unable to read simple english.
I’m pretty sure it’s just Russian vadniks that do whatever they can to gimp every major nation that isn’t Russia or Germany. I think they can read just fine.
too weak compared solid shot and buffed aphe
@@countsudoku6305it's funny because Spookston simultaneously complains about solid shot, but has noted in a previous video that he's fine with APHE functioning better than solid shot.
Also he was playing an interwar tank
@@tigersympathiser2265 The damage model would need to change a lot for solid shot to work. Because part of the issue is that IRL as soon as there is penetration the tank is dead, the crew doesn't even need to be injured at all. Engine, tracks, transmission, hell, even just a crew member getting some spall in the arm causing a panic bail out, all of that takes out tanks irl but doesn't in game. Hence why solid shot underperforms a lot in game compared to irl.
I think the solution would be for the game to model a lot more shrapnel, like, A LOT more shrapnel, including the tini tiny metal splinters, and make the crew a lot more fragile.
11:20 When someone sees a badger tank lmao
I'd love to see you play the ST-A3, it's pretty fun to play with all its features
Or the ST-A1 or 2 as comparison over the T25 at 6.3 :D
I want to see him play SPRG
Dude I used to read those medieval books all the time and look for the guy pooping almost every time as a kid lol. Glad I'm not the only one.
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.
I love the independent cause it lets me play low tiers without it feeling like seal clubbing
Also, that castle cutout book took me back. We used to always get those books from my library as kids 😂
I remember the maze ones
I read a bunch of those books when I was a kid. I think we still have them.
10:14 I had the castle one, the sailing ship/man o’ war/Spanish galleon one, the titanic one, a submarine one I think? And probably some others I have forgotten, and yup, every single one of them had a dude sitting on a toilet somewhere.
I def think you should try the Turan 2. I’m running like a 3 k/d rn with it.
Only a 3 k/d? Those are rookie numbers, I’ve seen Turan II players with a 9 k/d
Yes do the Turan 2! Its a beast
1:05 That's just insulting XD
A very interesting vehicle is the SU 100Y. It is literally a glass cannon with a 130 mm destroyer cannon. I would love to see you play this vehicle
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
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
British 3.0 is a blast.
Any country stuck with Solid shot is pure pain.
@@justinkedgetor5949 Ram Ranch
it really rocks
To answer your book about castle with cutouts and shitting guys hiding, yes, yes I did read those books when I was younger
You have a real talent for the editing part that other War Thunder uploaders seem to lack.
Fr
Dollarplays does some pretty good editing on his videos imo
Oh man that Halo prophet of regret clip got me good, that's a keeper of a sound byte
You can always try the Italian M11/39. I found that little Rank 1 to be a painful vehicle to play 😅
certainly should lol
is a cute tonk like the L3
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".
I suggest trying the char 2c bis at top tier, it is a great troll vehicle and very survivable against Sabot rounds.
USAs landship:
And all cross section books like that had a shitting guy I had heavy machinery like tunnel bores, cranes, and the ISS and it's toilet
Well, now you have to play the rest of the multi turreted interwar tanks! Can't wait for the ro-go video, best gun in the game 😈
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
Always love a day with a Spookston upload. Could you play the Concept 3 one day?
A 1920s tank and Spook complains about armor, it's a tank made with WW1 tech basically, what more do you expect
How about you play the T-35 next? It's basically the Independent but two of the other turrets are actually useful.
the man shitting in the castle book is also something that stuck with me for some reason that was really funny
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.
5:50 Dominic Toretto drifting in trying to avenge his family
American trying not to confuse English with British challenge
(IMPOSSIBLE)
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
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 Semovente 105/25 M43 would also be pretty funny. It's a great vehicle.
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 😵💫
@@kimjanek646 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.
the mf rubber ball noise. has given me mid life crisis and childhood ptsd in one second. amazing video 11/10 would watch again
Reminder that this was designed in the 1920s, the *early* 1920s, with WW1 having finished 4 years earlier, the last treaty just the year before. It was designed for, essentially, fighting WW1 again, as most European inter war tank designs, especially on the winning sides, were
Also, the British army is the *British* army, not the Royal army
Glad I'm not the only one who read a ton of those mediaeval warfare/castle books as a kid. I remember getting a bunch from the library every so often.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM TO KNOW THAT THE SHITTING GUY EPIDEMIC IN CUTAWAY BOOKS IS SOMETHING THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE NOTICED
To be completely fair, this is literally the very first of the multi turret landships and was built in the late 20s
10:18 OH MY GOD I’M NOT ALONE!
I may or may not have at least 10 of those cutaway books, plus 6 Star Wars ones…
The tangent with the castle cutaway books unlocked a core memory of mine.
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
Dude the cross section books just reached into the endless void of my memory. I used to love going through them back in elementary school. And im glad I'm not I the only one that noticed somebody shitting in each picture.
VBC is definitely a interesting vehicle to play, gives a small amount of HSTVL vibes ;)
Those castle cutaway books would have someone like getting drawn and quartered, and then like two rooms away, there was a guy shitting.
*encounters R.35*
"Can I pen that anywhere? ** Oh ok yes I can."
*shoots S.35*
"Oh ok I didn't think I could pen that."
*encounters H.39*
(nervously) "Uhh... ** Ok."
Low-tier France in a nutshell. Enough armor to slow you down but not enough to reliably stop anything.
Holy shit you unlocked some deep memories with the castle cutaway books, Those were so so cool as a kid
Dude I had several of the cutaway view books as a kid, I loved them. Seeing that gave me a flashback to simpler tomes.
Those medieval books were the shit when growing up. That was a throwback I was not expecting lmao
Independent is just a WWI Warhammer dreadnought confirmed by the Knight helmet on the front. Thank you Spookston.
i love the format of "Britain makes worst X, asked to leave Y"
Excuse me, Spookston, there's a Valentine variant that practically has a rocket strapped to it, hypothetically allowing it to rocket jump over trenches. I think this automatically qualifies the British as the best tank designers ever.
Spook not recognizing the Pz III and Pz IV having different amounts of frontal armor, yet also one-shotting French lights at close range without issue.
I loved those weird cutaway books when I was little. The pooping dudes made me laugh every time.
The only British tank worth playing is the SARC bobbleheaded boy. Everything else is just pure solid shot pain.
1:42 that double take is super funny for me for some reason
250K Q&A?!?!? Crazy how quick this channel has been growing!
Getting Spookston to play Britain is like trying to give a dog medicine without cheese.
The formula for these videos is just... perfection!
David McCaulay wrote the Castle Cutaway books with someone taking a dump. I loved those books!
Hey Spookston, you know what isn’t an awful British tank that will have you suffering for an entire video? The M26 T99!!!!
i think Vanoss put it best, "it looks like a truck carrying around a bunch of Pots and Pans"
I just came back from university, i'm drunk af and this is the most hilarous thing i've seen in the day
Whenever I see that thing on the battlefield, I have to remember that it ain't WoT, and just smash the crew in, instead of wailing at HP on a TOG II.
I read those DK cross section books on castles and HMS Victory. I swear that pooping man was always somewhere in there.
"Corpse storage units." Made me giggle Spooks
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.
10:13 yes 100% i loved reading those books so much when i was younger
6:22
Spookston being actually mad, rare moment caught on camera
Yes I read those books
Also the medical horror one that was .....well it was brutal
Had illustrations of people dying in a hospital ship (Navy)
Now this is peak spookton content. I have a weird request and it isn’t the ZIS-30 like usual. The T-26E it plays like a heavy and memes people at low tier because of the spaced armor
I typically play British 3.3 premium lineup with Achilles, Hellcat and Mustang. Can pretty much go top of the leaderboard every match if you get 3 kills with the tank and can spend the rest of the battle in planes farming kills and SL.
"'It's got neutral steering, that's... something"
Russian MBTs: How is it possible to learn this power? :O
Spookston: I try to go a little easier on low tier players.
Also Spookston: gets a million kills
Oh my god the shitting guy in the castle cross-section in a book is so accurate 😂😂😂
I really like when i get the cargo port map and i hide among the containers in this thing, it's actually really funny
Atleast the Independent has an APHE round like the Churchill unlike other British tanks which has solid shots
but still non penning the mantlet of the pz 4 is still a golden moment
I like how the title says "asked to leave allies"
Kindly asked to separate from a military alliance
Imagen getting ripped to pieces by .303 British and then as your spirit leaves your body you notice the shroud for the Vicker's cooling jacket looks like a bent chode.
That LVT RussianBadger vehicle can be obtain(if that link still available on his video) by inputting your account. It also comes with Hawk Seal, Seal decal and the Seal itself OddBawz done it due the fact i saw that seal plush on that IS3.
'English' and 'British' are two different things spooky, Scottish which makes me British but not English
spookston playing bad: 5 kills
me playing good: 3 kills
I think you would love to play the Type 69. 1: Funny number and 2: most likely has the WORST APFSDS round for any caliber gun in warthunder. However js hella fun to play.
Sau 40 is v.painful at lowtier. 100% try it. I had the exact book you showed as well, loved it.
10:10 no, but i used to get a bunch of similar books from the public library that were cutaway diagrams of star wars vehicles. they were actually really cool.
the Panzer IV you were fighting - you were hitting the strongest part - the snail rng
Hearing this man say the word "huzzah" made me take 10 psychic damage
Try the Strv M/42 EH or Ikv 73 if you have it, only 63mm of pen stub 75 but it has 260g of TNT explosive filler. I usually bring it to around 8.7 and use it to annihilate, if you can pen something you can 1-shot it, patton tanks are especially fun to cupola tap. Also -15 gun depression let's you do funni stuff, either way much less suffering than the independant
Can’t wait for the Black Prince video from Spookston.
