Spookston's complete and utter dismay after penning a LVT multiple times and failing to kill it is such a relatable experience. We don't call that bastard the "Cruise Ship" for nothing.
Spookston you should play the russian traktor tank destroyer, the Zis-30, its so hilarious to play with its wacky suspension and to use in an uptier day 16
Try using the Daimler, it is fast and the turret has very good traverse and elevation which makes it very funny to shoot down planes that try to strafe you
3:36 the vehicle didn't have a coax because it was a prototype for a self-propelled anti tank gun (tank destroyer) hence it's other name being "Pz.Sfl.Ic" ("Panzer Sebstfahrlafette Ic" or "armoured self-propelled carriage 1c"), it was part of the german quest to have an actual production SPG, and not just cobbled together refits of obsolete chassis, part of what they wanted was the all-round capacity of fire, hence the turret why Gaijiggles still put it a light tank is beyond me
The LVT is something that you shouldn’t underestimate lmao. The paper thin armor means that APHE doesn’t fuse, minimizes spalling, and the huge open space + high crew count and small gun breech make it surprisingly tanky. You underestimated it. That’s what got you killed. That and not switching to HE.
Spookston can you play the british VFM5? It’s basically an XM8 but in the british tech tree, it’s also a lot of fun after the new BR increases for a lot of tanks.
Hello Spookston! Since you like to try doing challenges I would have an idea for you: The M18 GMC vs High tier Its a really fun Tank and I would love to see you playing it! Also Thank you for uploading you really help me getting better (and I really did Got better) thanks to you!

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. I am not gonna surrender in proposing this. (Day 70)

I managed to get my hands on this and it's quite fun to play. Also (day 11 asking) you should try the Japanese STA1/2/3/Type 61 (they're all kinda the same), decent mobility, good gun and great sight magnification makes them pretty fun to play.
Second time of asking for the M42 Contracero, it's incredibly good (if you have enough ammo. I've killed T-34s and Shermans from the front at close range.

dunno i have a feeling that a shell exploding in tight spaces will likely kill or at least severely injure anyone in the proximity regardless of wether a piece of shrapnel hit them or not.
I've recently starter a new tech tree and yes, teammates down there are more unreliable than any other tiers, the Stuart is surprisingly immune to one shots since most people use solid AP, and there's also lvl 100s in OP premiums seal clubbing down in around rank I and rank II
day 29 : you should try the jagdtiger sometime. it's extremly slow, doesn't have a turret, gets uptiers all the time, and most importantly, you'll have to play with german teams. the very definition of suffering
I love this thing, I've had it since 2014 and always thought of it as a tiny German hellcat. Before the puma, etc it was always (and for me, still is) the light tank I take anywhere due to it's good gun, good mobility and small size.
0:13 Well, I am part German, so this things easy for me, I'll translate real quick... Got it: 2 inch Anti-Tank Gun on Amoured Combat Vehicle/Tank on Specialised Chassis 901.
3:34 most german command tank lack something from the usual frontline variant of the vehicle like the Tiger P lacking smoke grenade when it has the slot on the turret. I think mainly this because of every "command/befehls" vehicle were more used as radio command vehicle for strategic purposes than taking the actual fight
5:25 As a Churchill player, I am proud of my tank’s reputation of being stubborn as flip. You know a tank is built well when it can be uptiered and the enemy still struggles to kill it.
Spookston be like: “I don’t like it when teammates are around me.” But when spookston is surrounded by enemies he’s like: “where team.”

Real
He likes being surrounded by men :3
Because teammates are love-hate too. Sometimes they're great, sometimes they're blue-marked enemies.
He had a reasonable reason tho

You say that like its some big surprise. Gaining wanted to make a plane game from the start. Tanks were just there to drawn in more people.
12:09 is my new favorite Spookston quote
The shell passing harmlessly through the canvas roof and then shrapneling on the canvas flap was the best.
6:20 the 5cm PzGr and the 7.5cm PzGr have the same amount of filler as they used the same tooling to mill out a space for it in the rear of the shell.
But somehow the 75mm deals way more damage.
Sure it hold more kinetic energy but that isn’t modeled and the shell just explodes like a handgrenade in general.
