You really have to play this tank, its the FV4202. A british medium tank that is very modern looking because it's actually an early protoype of the Chieftain. It has a 20pdr gun and its quite fun. (Day 50)
I really liked that one in the tech tree of the brits. Stabilized, mobility is good (except basically no reverse gear) and the pen of the rounds is just great. Just the post pen damage...
If he wants another SU at an even LOWER BR there's the SU122, even though it doesn't have APHE it has absolutely no problem 1-shotting everything it sees + T34s armor and mobility at 2.3
I actually really have to recommend the Su-85M. It’s a real hidden gem, it has an 85mm gun and the same armour as this thing at 5.0, where the armour actually works against most guns at that BR.
But you know what tank destroyer isn't frustrating? The IT-1 anti-tank missile carrier that can fire on the move AND have -8° of gun depression, unlike most Soviet tanks
It has no armor if you know where to shoot. It's ight for a hull down TD because of it's low profile but I believe American 76 (m62) can pen the turret, i might be mistaken but everything at 8.7 and most things at 7.7 can eat that thing alive once spotted.
10:28 that is ASTONISHING. I remember as a french main looking at this thing and trying to figure out if I could artificially augment my survivability by angling. Looking at the penetration sim however, I found that the Sherman's 75mm could go clean through. Of all things, a jumbo could cleanly dispatch you, and I gave the idea up.
You would surprise m22 somehow so more Survivable than Shermana😂😂😂 bruh it took my apsds like a champ 3 time volumetric so dumb and RNG the dumbest setting in this game eventually it is getting more inconsistent
This vehicle is still in use today by the way. In Vietnam it's used as coastal defence, and some rebel groups in the Middle East have pushed some into service.
I just got the T-54 (1949) which is more accurate to actual T-54s. Although the 1951 variant would go on to be the most widely mass produced model and one of the most widely produced tanks ever.
Day 67 of telling spookston to play the IT1. its a ATGM launcher on the t62 chassis, it has decent-ish mobility, the turret is squished. You can hide behind cover and shoot ATGM over the cover like a gremlin and you overpressure tanks (tho it can be rare, but it does happen without you realizing) and its MG is really werid. Also it has a cool reload animation.
@OllieTurner-h6x the angle pen is a misnomer for the 100mm, as the ballistic cap for the D for that gun is actually really good. The 122mm benefits from the B because of the shell weight and lesser velocity, if which the 100mm doesn't have either. Same reason you use the D shell on the su-100P and the t-44-100, the penetrative power is more reliable.
Ive bounced enough times on the panther ufp with 100mm D shell to not bother using it. Also theres no vehicle where the extra 21mm of pen will work better
@@iseeu721 If you have ever looked at the data-mined stats or used the BR-365B MD-5 fuse round on the 76.2 mm gun you'd understand that there's a lot of things that you don't see. You can pen some places protection says you shouldn't. I am not arguing the D shell isn't good, Spook said that sometimes it is useful. I would just encourage you to try the B shell. Expecially against german tanks. A "B shell moment" happens in the vid when he pens an 80* angle on a pershing turret.
@@Consumpter Don't know what to say about your experiences, I literally have a 100% penetration rate with the D shell on all ru 100mm guns. Even stuff like the roof of a centurion/conqueror, the angled side armor of any model of pershing, and yes even the UFP of a panther it has been an extremely reliable shell.
6.0-8.0 is pure pain. With 6.7-7.3 being border line insanity. Everyone can one shot you with the most random rounds. You will lose more games than win.
The charioteeer is a great example of british tanks with an easy to aim and powerful gun accompanied with staggering speed forwards. Next to no armor and 2 more kilometers faster on reverse than the comet, it would be entertaining to watch. Day 2 of asking
spook just tilting of the face of the earth via 1000 cuts is just gold also you should make a mini series on your fav line up of each nation, i wana see happy spook
Sometimes you just get these days where you go cap a point, kill a couple of enemy, go looking for trouble and die. Respawn, click tab, see you are 1st place on your team and the rest are mostly dead. Only one other guy on your team has a kill. The enemy are at your spawn.
Day 45 of asking spookie to play the SU-85M, WROMG TANK DESTROYER, WALKING OUT OF SCHOOL, SEES THE TANK AND BECAUSE THEY USE THE SAME CHASSIS I WAS IN SHOCK, until I heard su-100… I WILL BE THE DESTROYER OF OHIO SPOOKIE.
The life and times of a Soviet TD: You blast things to the next technological age, but you have to often throw yourself into danger just to get a shot due to their phobia of guns pointing downwards. If you want a TD with no survivability, you can always roll the Ikv 103 in the Sweden tree. It has a HEAT with over 400mm pen at 4.0, but a gentle breeze is enough to annihilate it, and even though it's a SPG with limited aim the traverse still somehow manages to be slow and unresponsive. It doesn't even get a MG to clear things that can block the HEAT. It's a bit miserable.
Day 172 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.
I think it was Phly who once called this line in the tech tree the worst in the game, and I agree. It has all the worst qualities you could want out of a tank line - case-mates with poor gun depression, a good gun but often with a long reload, and armor thick enough to not be no armor best armor but not stop most things that you'll face. In the right situation, you'll be a monster for the enemy to deal with. But a T-34 is basically the same thing, but with a turret - and therefore better.
Watching this at 144p bc my internet poop atm and when he went "target spotted" at 10:07 i could see about 4 distinguishably brown pixels and went "good question!"
Spook you should really try my favorite lineup. It's "All T-34's", with the inclusion of like 2-3 premium T-34 chassis you can run 10 T-34's in a full size lineup. It's very meme and fun honestly. I try to have my highest BR T-34 as the T-34-57, and I seriously recommend against using short 76 guns, but they still could be used. If you want a fast tank for the lineup the T-34 Proto is faster then basically every other T-34 till the 100
Spookston: " See I'm divinely protected". Alright buddy in your next game be prepared to face a Lancaster for pushing your luck. hearing Spookston saying he's "divinely protect" doesn't suit well knowing he's gonna get smited by CAS for that lmaoo
ISU TDs which replaced the SU series TDs were inferior on most occasions but soviets have to replace it cuz germans long 75 and 88mm cannons were shredding the SU chasis like a paper
9:33 I noticed a couple days ago this exact thing, and it's getting really frustrating. I will lose every single game I play, despite what nation I play, and despite what BR range I play. I always play 1-2 on my team, which makes it double frustrating. I swear there's some kind of SBMM or something, because it's way too consistent to be coincidence. I've played this game for 12 years and never had this issue until this week.
8:34 SU-100 has the same hull armor as the SU-85M, which is a menace in 5.0 games, and you can wiggle it to increase its effectiveness (it's surprisingly good in brawling due to its size, mobility and firepower)
BR for BR the 85M is a LOT better. the armor works very well, and the gun is also better, because it still pens as much as the 100mm (BR for BR) but has a much shorter reload
@@o-hogameplay185 the hull armor is still something to consider on SU-100, as it's only slightly worse than that of panther when it comes to the front plate, and with good angling you can bounce even long 88s
Truly wished someone else would recommend it more. However, as you seem to enjoy good gun depression, lower BR and loathe open topped and slow vehicles, I believe the Dicker Max and Sturer Emil would be a great fit for you.
4:03 as annoying as CAS can be its moments like this that make it worth it. Some goblin just holding a angle 3 peaking giving you no chance other than to sacrifice someone to get a chance at killing them is ultra annoying. So womp womp get air striked.

Duck arc
Giorno 58 of asking Spookston to play Lancia R3o (100/17), the bombastic truck.
How did you know this tank wasn’t good? “It didn’t even one shot a M22”
You would surprise m22 somehow so more Survivable than Shermana😂😂😂 bruh it took my apsds like a champ 3 time volumetric so dumb and RNG the dumbest setting in this game eventually it is getting more inconsistent
When a 45mm APHE has better post pen than a 100mm APHE, just Gaijin things.
personally I find soviet 45mm pretty lackluster
@@GewelReal Yeah, tank 45mm APHE does fuck all but the 45mm APHE on the Yaks nukes everything. :(
The angle you are at with the plane helps alot too, down through the turret crew into the driver if you shoot from behind

Same! thought i was imaging it until i said "heeeeey, that sounds familiar!"
I thought I had another tab playing when I heard CoH2 voice lines at 2:20 XD
13:18 I felt that in my soul, one of the most frustrating things about this game
13:24 The genuine fear and frustration at the same time is extremely relatable...

122mm = B shell
100mm = D shell
That being said, you did make the B shell work nicely in the vid, well done!
