It's really not that small. It's not comfortably large, of course, but these games give people a warped sense of how big a tank is. Even the small ones are pretty big.
honestly tho i have no idea why its so bad for spookston for me it does consistent damage and i can 1/2 hit kill 90% (without hitting ammo) of the time with the 103
I've had a lot of anxiety lately, but your videos are always enjoyable to watch and help calm me. Hoping your surgery goes well, thanks for what you do, Spookston!
hope you doing better now bud, i'm glad you're a buckethead fan because it helps a lot with emotional issues and because im also a huge fan of him, again, hope you're doing great and never forget that you'll always be fine in the coop.
This might be something that could be a Battle Pass vehicle, but what if Gaijin added the T40/M9 Tank Destroyer to the game? It's basically a beta design of the M10, armed with the same 76mm gun as the M10, but based on the chassis of the M3 Lee rather than the Sherman.
3:10 Im surprised spookston doesnt know that if your commander says 'panzer' or whatever the crews name for 'tank' is then that means its a tank, I use that trick all the time.
7:12 I came across another one just like that with the name Alfred_J_Kwak just ONLY plays low BR planes and tanks just LUVs to seal club brand new players.
And only spawn planes for the rest of the match? Love how it's called ground and people try hard in planes to say they're good in ground. But they're only good in air rb. (It also doesn't help that Gajin puts bombs on every fighter)
@@aiedenoldstien9751 Hell, most of them aren't even good in Air RB either because then they have to deal with people in fighters who know what they are doing.
I have noticed the HEAT shenanigans with the M51, and except for the ability to overpressure people, it seems weirdly similar to APDS . Now i have an urge to grind sweden too... In terms of suggestion, maybe give the Chief Mk10 a try? Cool vid as always. Have a great day and stay away from CAS. Cheers!
@@alexturnbackthearmy1907 Honestly? I have a counterpoint. How usefull APDS is depends of it's caliber. Belive me or not, but my 105 sabo fired from the L7 almost never shatters or pens with zero damage. Sometimes, but VERY rarely does it ricochet. Most of the time it slices clean through and does about as much damage as 17pdr's mk8 shot. So a two-tap/oneshot most of the time. 17/20pdr penetrates and does nothing, and 120mm shatters like crazy. There's something about the 105 one that makes it work. Plus you can't forget about how easy to aim it is
Love that tank. Sometimes it can be frustrating when heat suddenly stops working. But it feels nice to kill heavy that team struggles to penetrate. Also fast reverse is pretty nice
I once had a friendly panzer keep pushing me over and over to the point I eventually pit maneuvered him, and he just sat there questioning his life. Looked like a kid sitting in timeout lol.
It shouldn't have been added in the first place. Vehicles likes this are toxic, as they ruin heavy tanks as a class, and if you uptier them, they are useless. Same for fast vehicles like btrs and r3t20
I was complaining about HeatFS doing literally nothing 50% of the time at br6.3, and some idiot came out of the woodwork to assure me that heat vehicles are broken. He was playing CAS most of the match.
Spookston: "Hmm, a barely armored sniper? Seems like a brawler to me. Hmm, a TD with a gun pointing only backwards? Seems like a brawler to me. ATGM TD? Seems like a brawler to me. AA? Definitely a brawler.
Day 32 You should play a tank with hydropneumatic suspension (recommend the MBT-70) But the catch is you have to drop the suspension as low as it can go for the whole match.
5:00 "Some people think this is busted because it gets HEAT" Well the thing is, HEATFS makes this vehicle effectively uptier-proof up to 6.7 where you normally start seeing 90mm HEATFS. It wouldn't be worse at 6.7 at all, since what makes it a mediocre to bad vehicle is everything other than the pen, which is comparatively just as bad at 4.0 than it would be at 6.7. Meanwhile, the presence of HEATFS at this low BR nullifies the importance of armour and armour-play, which is just terrible for gameplay in WW2 tiers. Certain utilities (HEATFS, APFSDS, thermals, LRF, etc.) should absolutely have a BR floor that they can't go below, because if they still suck at that point, they will in all likelihood always suck, at any BR point.
Use the pvkv m/43, its the counterpart to the ikv 103 imo, it gets 16x zoom at 4.0. Very funny, very impractical. The 1963 version gets 75mm APDS as well
Thr swefish tree fits my playstyle surprisingly well, since I primarly focus on goblinmaxxing. I have a blast with the widespread great gun depression and speed. On another note, good luck with your surgery. Never a fun thing to go through. Don't feel obligated to keep on a video schedule if you feel awful
There were findings while testing the STRV 103 when taking side shots while having the jerry cans mounted on the outside along the side of the hull, heat shells would sometimes defuse off the jerry cans therefore no damage to the tank or crew. I could see similar results with the internal gas tanks as well

Swedish engineers really said "nah size doesnt matter" when designing this chode mobile 💀
My favorite part is the little hole the gunner peeks out thru, although it does make it an open top for damage calcs
it does tho
It was mainly designed as a HE lobber for infantry support. The heat fs was only a stopgap to not have to purchase/build as many mbts.

Well the thing is, HEATFS makes this vehicle effectively uptier-proof up to 6.7 where you normally start seeing 90mm HEATFS. It wouldn't be worse at 6.7 at all, since what makes it a mediocre to bad vehicle is everything other than the pen, which is comparatively just as bad at 4.0 than it would be at 6.7. Meanwhile, the presence of HEATFS at this low BR nullifies the importance of armour and armour-play, which is just terrible for gameplay in WW2 tiers.
Certain utilities (HEATFS, APFSDS, thermals, LRF, etc.) should absolutely have a BR floor that they can't go below, because if they still suck at that point, they will in all likelihood always suck, at any BR point.
Use this tank except at a higher B.R so that it's pen might be useful
