I'm always impressed at the fact that you can shoot a critical part directly and barely scratch it, but also hit one part of a tank and have fragments fly all the way across the entire vehicle and detonate ammo or fuel on the other side of the hull. It makes me want to become a tank nihilist.

Just a tip with the shermans, the Cast hulls (M4A1 mostly and one of the Isreali Shermans) can be easily penned through their fronts on either corner due to it being only around 38mm and generally impossible to angle, so shoot the closest corner facing you and you should knock out most crew and sometimes the ammo on the sides. the upper hull is also only 38mm thick at the front and a small part of it is unangled so you can shoot just under their turret rings most times and hit dead center mass.
The most hilarious thing is when German KV meets KV1E, its like the old Monty Python skits with 2 old ladies slapping each other with handbags, they just track and barrel each other over and over for no real progress.
I remember seeing this very tank at a tank museum in Finland (the Parola tank museum). Now here's the thing. Right next to it is another KV-1 at the same museum. And it's even stronger...
I'm surprised the KV-1B isn't in the Swedish tech tree since Finland is in it and the tank is from Finland too. Would be nice to have atleast 1 HEAVY tank at all in the Swedish tree
I'd love to see you in the T-34-100. A T-34 testbed for the 100mm that went onto the T-54. At 6.3 With access to BR412D so it will pen just about EVERYTHING it see's.
I find it highly hypocritical of Gaijin that the T-34-100, which was a test tank in 1945, gets BR-412D, a round that was created after the entire project had been scrapped... Yet the M4/T26 doesn't get M304 APCR, a round that existed when the project was made, on top of the M26 and Super Hellcat not getting "late M82" APCBC with 853 m/s muzzle velocity, which also existed well within the time period of these tanks... But I suppose the T-34-100 is a premium that costs 6k GE, so of course it gets special, ahistorical qualities.
KV-1E better. Killing your opponent is an additional layer of defence and German tanks at 4.0 die faster than Russian tanks do. The Russian tanks have a harder time dealing with you at first but they figure out where your breach is eventually. Plus the underrated smoke round.
These Halo: Reach audio clips have been much appreciated. Please keep using them! Had >5k hours in the game years ago and it's an awesome throwback to hear. I would say the same about the other Halo sound-effects, but you have a pretty long history of using them already :)
For how good that tank is, it doesn't usually get fielded in the matches I have seen. The German faction is pretty dope, though it does have one of two affects: rushing too hard, or being so eerily conservative with each tank, they may as well be artillery
Its a somewhat rare premium, and you are far more likely to see the identical Soviet premium the KV-1E. Both vehicles are insanely overpowered, but the German one has advantage of not facing German guns, whereas the Soviet one has the advantage of not having German teammates.
As for being conservative, the best German vehicles at this BR range are the Panzer 4s with the long 75mm, but also absolutely garbage armor, mobility, and stability, so you pretty much have to sit in the back with them. Unless you bring the cancer wagon Puma and go fast. Then there's the buffoons who try and rush with them.
@@wokedog1799 I spawn Puma first all the way to 5.7. I rush a lot of caps, but I also usually survive for most of the match, so I'm an outlier. Pz.IVH armour is really trolly once you get the extra track armour over the turret weakspots. Pz. III and IV might not have stab but they can often get the first shot off if you practice your shot timing while rocking on the suspension.

Hey Spook, you should play the Semovente 75/46 M43. It's a deeply overshadowed italian tank destroyer which can deliver an heavy punch but it's deeply ignored the potential it has. (Day 53)
Dont worry guys, tylenol poisoning usually only causes fever, nausea, and vomiting so we'll have our Spooky back rest assured :)) *he might have to do some extra sound exiting though
I honestly think the best German Heavy in WT is the Tiger 2 it has an amazing gun with a already great round, the speed isn’t bad, and the armor is really great and can bounce most shells at 6.7 except for the turret
@@Jotgutso is everything single other heavy tank at that BR. If anything, the tiger 2 is in the best position to face then with their better mobility, rate of fire and turret rotation speed compared to other heavies at that BR
Too much tylenol is actually the leading cause of liver failure and cirrhosis in the world, not alcohol. Luckily its not a single dose thing, but a long period of exposure deal so you're fine. To actually "overdose" on tylenol is a very deliberate action, a slow and mostly reversible one at that. Thats why the max daily dose has gone from 2,000mg to 1,000 and the max 6 hour dose to 650mg from 1hr. They're all guidelines to avoid cirrhosis not acute poisoning.
hello spookston could you try out the fv4202 its a pretty fun tank with a funky armour layout at 7.0 so german players arent that good and russian players are using the IS-6 and BMP so theyre are a bit absent minded at that BR. P.S i was starstruck by ur raketen video. i didnt know it was you during the match but i was the greyhound you coughing babied(i was grinding the OBJ122MT). :')
My favourite tank ever. Get better man, although you really should grind the Italian tech tree, it has a lot of gremlins and fast vehicles I know you’ll like. On your way there you should try the Breda 501.
I always hate encountering these when I play early US. I remember once we had the entire team wiped out with about 4 of us remaining except for one KV-1B who had extra crews. I was left with just a 75mm half track, and actually wound up flanking him as he knocked out two of my teammates. Truly exhilarating, and equally frustrating.
This individual KV-1 still exists today. Finland only ever had 2 KV-1 tanks in service and both survived the war and are on display at the Finnish armoured museum.
Tylenol is paracetamol right? So nah you'll be fine. FYI, if you take 1000mg of Paracetamol and 400mg of Ibuprofen painkillers, that will have more than double the effect of just Tylenol (Paracetamol) for over 8 hours. It's both a safe dose and as effective as it's going to get, as greater doses of both, separately or in combination, will have no significant effect.
once i heard someone saying that gaijin nerf vehicles taking a base on people kd and i wonder how the KV-IB or the KV-1E arent nerfed yet, they should be 4.3 at least people kd with them is ridiculously high like idk 3.0 or more
I played a low tier match on geramny and a panzer was following me, right when i stop to shoot, he rams me, i kill the guy and then i keep going, he follows me, i stop again HE RAMS ME AND I ALMOST MISS, THEN AGAIN AND AGAIN TILL HE DIED, AFTER THAT MY TEAM WAS ALL AT THEIR SPAWN AND WASNT EVEN CAPTURING THE POISTN
I remember when I first used this tank, (I took part in the console crate vehicle exploit and got all of the crate vehicles for around $15 total), some guy messaged me after the match and invited me to an exclusively KV-1B/KV-1E squadron. The purpose being to run them in groups of 4 and dominate to make the most of gold wagers. The balls on those guys. Not even trying to hide how shameless they were being.
It wasn't really a version, they just captured it and enough spare parts and took it straight out against the soviets. I'm not sure if they put concrete on it, as that's what they did with captured t34s and later panzer 4s, put concrete on it to further enhance armour
I forgot how I got this thing but either way this thing like it's clone copy the KV-1E are an absolute beast. It's also safe from german guns but not from german teammates who have less situational awareness than a dodo bird.
"it doesn't really matter how powerful your tank is, if you get surrounded by four tanks you're done for, it's game over". I mean, you're not wrong - but I have survived in a heavy for a really long time, sometimes for long enough for my teammates to kill them off, mostly they never come. The most stupid game I had was in a Churchill Crocodile where I was surrounded by at least 8 tanks and I lived for minutes.
you should try the M47 OTO, it's the Italian M47 and it's the only varient with a 105mm canon insetad of the usual 90, but it's still the same 7.3 BR as the other versions
I just faced one of these as the Soviet Union. Like 7 well-aimed t34 (1940) bullets and like 40-70 AA ZiS-12 shots all of them from a very close distance. Not a single critical-hit, got killed twice. By the very same tank. Other two teammates openly shooting it. Definitely a skill-issue
regards to what is mentioned at 2:40, So long as it wasn't a large amount you should be fine. It can cause liver damage in doses above around 8,000-10,000mg, thus if you aren't feeling very well and your skin and eyes have taken on a yellow tint, that's when I'd go to a hospital but again if you just had a bit of cough syrup an hour or two after a 1-2g dose of Tylenol, you'll probably be fine.
Sorry for the artifacting in the beginning, that happens when I use NV rendering. It's faster, but sometimes creates artifacts, so I only use it when I'm low on time. Anyway hope you guys are having a good sunday :)
Hope you get better
If you see an M4A1 named the "Major Jim" and it has a yellow star on the turret in any future matches, there's a chance it could be me.

"what ever the rank is , even over powered , if you're surrounded by 4 tanks you're dead"
B1TER casually 1vs6 in 3.0
0:04 finnish
Dont worry guys, tylenol poisoning usually only causes fever, nausea, and vomiting so we'll have our Spooky back rest assured :))
*he might have to do some extra sound exiting though
I honestly think the best German Heavy in WT is the Tiger 2 it has an amazing gun with a already great round, the speed isn’t bad, and the armor is really great and can bounce most shells at 6.7 except for the turret
Casually bouncing is-6 and asu-85 apbche rounds
90% of the matches are against heat slingers that will eat you, tho.
@@Jotgutso is everything single other heavy tank at that BR. If anything, the tiger 2 is in the best position to face then with their better mobility, rate of fire and turret rotation speed compared to other heavies at that BR
Too much tylenol is actually the leading cause of liver failure and cirrhosis in the world, not alcohol.
Luckily its not a single dose thing, but a long period of exposure deal so you're fine. To actually "overdose" on tylenol is a very deliberate action, a slow and mostly reversible one at that. Thats why the max daily dose has gone from 2,000mg to 1,000 and the max 6 hour dose to 650mg from 1hr. They're all guidelines to avoid cirrhosis not acute poisoning.
hello spookston could you try out the fv4202 its a pretty fun tank with a funky armour layout at 7.0 so german players arent that good and russian players are using the IS-6 and BMP so theyre are a bit absent minded at that BR. P.S i was starstruck by ur raketen video. i didnt know it was you during the match but i was the greyhound you coughing babied(i was grinding the OBJ122MT). :')
1:30 spook being spooked by a 76 sherman in a kv 1 says smth
1:57 omg omg omg Spookston said a naughty word!!!!!!!
Still waiting for gaijin to add this to Sweden (since its a finnish captured KV-1) to flesh out the 4.0 lineup.
Swedish players when no handholding for 1(one) patch:
@@crez3463 sweden suffers
as if it wasnt good enough already smh
Same feeling about the engine sounds
My favourite tank ever. Get better man, although you really should grind the Italian tech tree, it has a lot of gremlins and fast vehicles I know you’ll like. On your way there you should try the Breda 501.
Thanks for the video Spookston!
I hope you get well soon!
I think you could have some fun with the ARL-44. Great frontal armour, great gun, kinda slow.
I always hate encountering these when I play early US. I remember once we had the entire team wiped out with about 4 of us remaining except for one KV-1B who had extra crews. I was left with just a 75mm half track, and actually wound up flanking him as he knocked out two of my teammates. Truly exhilarating, and equally frustrating.
Attempt 8 of asking for a single Israeli tank for you to play
Overdosing on tylenol can be a super brutal death and basically leads to full blown liver failure.
This individual KV-1 still exists today. Finland only ever had 2 KV-1 tanks in service and both survived the war and are on display at the Finnish armoured museum.
2:40 Liver damage :D
"I pledge allegiance to the bag" LMAO that's a good one, I'll have to work that into my daily lexicon.
Tylenol is paracetamol right?
So nah you'll be fine.
FYI, if you take 1000mg of Paracetamol and 400mg of Ibuprofen painkillers, that will have more than double the effect of just Tylenol (Paracetamol) for over 8 hours. It's both a safe dose and as effective as it's going to get, as greater doses of both, separately or in combination, will have no significant effect.
Im glad i always choose high pen gremlin tanks it makes killing premiums like this fun
once i heard someone saying that gaijin nerf vehicles taking a base on people kd
and i wonder how the KV-IB or the KV-1E arent nerfed yet, they should be 4.3 at least
people kd with them is ridiculously high like idk 3.0 or more
I played a low tier match on geramny and a panzer was following me, right when i stop to shoot, he rams me, i kill the guy and then i keep going, he follows me, i stop again HE RAMS ME AND I ALMOST MISS, THEN AGAIN AND AGAIN TILL HE DIED, AFTER THAT MY TEAM WAS ALL AT THEIR SPAWN AND WASNT EVEN CAPTURING THE POISTN
As somone equally ill and with a constant cough, while beeing on vacation, I feel your pain spookston
I love all the halo sound effects/references in your videos!
I remember when I first used this tank, (I took part in the console crate vehicle exploit and got all of the crate vehicles for around $15 total), some guy messaged me after the match and invited me to an exclusively KV-1B/KV-1E squadron. The purpose being to run them in groups of 4 and dominate to make the most of gold wagers. The balls on those guys. Not even trying to hide how shameless they were being.
Spookston Katyusha when you said
The best thing of yout videos is to see how good you play
The round front corners of the M4 makes it an easy kill at any angle
A rare view of that tank being played not covered in bushes
Its interesting acetaminophen max dose is 1000mg but if you take up to 3000mg you’ll probably be fine maybe
when he is the play a enlisted yes gajin
spookston off the lean playing war thunder? exactly what i needed
Day 15 of asking Spookston to play the KV-2 (1939) to note the recent shell nerfs.
when spookston playing the sealclubber but hes got that tylenol aim
KV1-B is actually a Finnish version off the KV1, but its in german line up because sweden wasnt a thing XD
It wasn't really a version, they just captured it and enough spare parts and took it straight out against the soviets. I'm not sure if they put concrete on it, as that's what they did with captured t34s and later panzer 4s, put concrete on it to further enhance armour
I love you spookston
0:25 turns out you weren’t the only one sick that day
“I pledge allegiance to the bag” is most inspirational quote ever
I forgot how I got this thing but either way this thing like it's clone copy the KV-1E are an absolute beast. It's also safe from german guns but not from german teammates who have less situational awareness than a dodo bird.
good video as usual, hope you get better soon
"I am drugged to hell right now, just trying to survive" - Nazi panzer crews, 1930s-1940s
Ok thats pretty funni
It always amazes me how russian APHE have the normalization of an HESH round
Another bangerr from spookston
The Bain of my tank destroyer existence. God. My only answer for this is the M10, some M62 shells, some hope, and some C-Ration coffee instant, type 2
"it doesn't really matter how powerful your tank is, if you get surrounded by four tanks you're done for, it's game over". I mean, you're not wrong - but I have survived in a heavy for a really long time, sometimes for long enough for my teammates to kill them off, mostly they never come. The most stupid game I had was in a Churchill Crocodile where I was surrounded by at least 8 tanks and I lived for minutes.
Hope you get well soon, Spookston!
you should try the M47 OTO, it's the Italian M47 and it's the only varient with a 105mm canon insetad of the usual 90, but it's still the same 7.3 BR as the other versions
Not to mention I think it has the upgraded engine too
That opening was amazing 😂 "I pledge allegiance to the bag"
When you counter the Soviet bias with the Soviet bias.
"I pledge allegiance to the bag..."
I finally have an excuse for when people ask me why I don't quit my job.
I just faced one of these as the Soviet Union. Like 7 well-aimed t34 (1940) bullets and like 40-70 AA ZiS-12 shots all of them from a very close distance. Not a single critical-hit, got killed twice. By the very same tank. Other two teammates openly shooting it. Definitely a skill-issue
I’ve encountered a KV1 B somewhere and I couldn’t even penetrate the armour, its really responsive to flanking attacks
fun fact. the churchill 7 is fully capable of winning a 4v1 in a downtier. it only takes like 5 mins and 4 gun barrels but it is possible
I didn’t know spook was on that dirty sprite, valid
lol the oh halo sound effects get me every time 😂
you know whats a really fun vehicle that definitely does consistent damage? The Conqueror
5:43 Yea Spook if you did not notice, Gaijin has made it so that smoke de-renders tanks, so thats what happened there which I think is dumb
regards to what is mentioned at 2:40, So long as it wasn't a large amount you should be fine. It can cause liver damage in doses above around 8,000-10,000mg, thus if you aren't feeling very well and your skin and eyes have taken on a yellow tint, that's when I'd go to a hospital but again if you just had a bit of cough syrup an hour or two after a 1-2g dose of Tylenol, you'll probably be fine.
