The German VK 45.01 (P), or the Porsche Tiger as most people know it, is a rare sight in War Thunder. It trades armor effectiveness for a bit more mobility, but it's still pretty fun. I'm surprised it isn't more expensive on the Gaijin marketplace.

The Rarest Tiger Tank 
Игры
Should try out the Cent Mk. 5 AVRE, its surprisingly fun to just splat Tiger 2s and small children
What a twist!
I liked it before they changed something with HESH. It used to be consistent one shot now it’s very inconsistent.
He did play with it when he did the FV4005 video
But I would love to see some more BESH action
He made one called "Aiming is for loser's"
its all fun and games untill the void decides to eat al the damage from a perfect hit
Constant full uptiers are a feature, not a bug. Gaijin has confirned it is an intentional choice of the matchmaker to full downtier four people on each team and full uptier at least half of each team.
ok but
It is known already that you typically only get 3-4 downtiers for 10 battles on average, but thats not the case for 6.3-6.7 for past couple of months, you'll get one downtier in 20 battles at best if at all, spending the rest playing 7.3
@@ayanamikai because 7.3 is overcrowded with morons using one or two 7.3 vehicles and then a bunch of rank rank 2 stuff to fill out their lineup. The matchmaker will give you more downtiers if you have a bunch of garbage in your lineup, or if you squad with someone who doesn't have the right BR vehicles. So you get uptiered against one death leavers in Leo 1s and IS-3/6 who literally can't get a kill unless they face 6.3
Yet another reason to quit this game
@@ayanamikai are you delusional? I get one downtier for every 20-30 games. 80% of my games are full uptiers. I play 3.7.
You should play the Spj fm/43-44, after all, everyone loves some stupidly powerful HE.
pls finally do it spookston
I love getting god mode in that stupid thing
That thing is insane. You can kill IS-3s from the front. Eat marders, BMPs, Leopards, etc for breakfast. I've gotten four kills at 7.3 just being an absolute bastard with the bloop tube
What about the ho-ro? Its got 1.2 kg of more filler.
@@altaccount4697 But somehow can not kill a su-122 reliably.
It is honestly incredible how every single Br gets uptiered constantly. Changing and carefully considering your lineup to be put in a match against vehicles with Br that you avoided (at your own hinderance) is yet another frustration that is unmatched in any other experience. I am just about done with this "game" tbh. Thanks for making and sharing Sir Spookston!
I have had several games in the last week that my WHOLE team was 5.3 against a whole team of 6.3 (over 75%)
@@michaelstjohn6086 Yah I believe it. Feels alot like being "fed to" seal clubbers too. Level 100 players with maxed crews makes it pretty difficult in a straight up battle, and all together seems like Spook said.... Like Gaijin actively try to make us not want to play. Good luck out there!
@@billbillson3129 I mean one player's full uptier is another one's full downtier.
@@billbillson3129just like enlisted. Gaijin loves antagonizing it's player base
They only let 4 players per side be a full 1.0 BR above the lowest players, getting a full downier is significantly less likely than a full uptier because of that.
i dont belive that in the slightest
@@dbzfanexwarbrady it's true but sometimes it off. Like only one guy could be fully downtiered
@@dbzfanexwarbrady I've been playing 2.0 SPECIFCALLY 2.0 not 2.3 not 2.7 specifically 2.0 and I'm being paired with M4A5 105s
@@humbleguardsman5578 theres no such thing as an m4a5 105. Youre facing the m4a3 105. Which is 3.0
That's the case in theory, but it simply doesn't work that way. You usually get a couple poor guys in a full uptier while the rest are .7 above. Sure there's only 4 that are a whole 1.0 above, but that's just the difference between fucked and mega-fucked. Even then it doesn't always work out that way, you often see full 1.0 spread across the entire team
You should play the British tier 2 Sarc MKVI 6Pdr. It is very fast ( I call it the Super Awesome Race Car ). It has the British 6 pounder and is very good for 3.3. It goes by no armor best armor and if you get shot in the turret you die no matter what ( 3 crew, 2 in turret). It’s got a .50 cal on top for AA and shredding milk trucks. It’s funny because it recoils a ton, and no matter what will land on its wheels probably to counter the recoil. I also think that the crusader II is fun. It’s I think 2.0ish and is super fast, good fun and I believe ( in a British tank) APHE. it is great for capping points, running along the sides and flanking the enemy.
Crusader II is 2.7
The Sarc 6pdr is good at it's BR. Like really good. Not many oneshots with it but it does the job. Good line up with the Achilles and a 3.3 plane.
@@TheGXDivider it is very good. Like I said, speed goodish gun that two shots of you don’t whiff
@@TheGXDividerbest plane at 3.3 is firefly, I bring it out up to ~7.7 to make some marders and BMPs mad
This is probably one of my most played tanks, had it a long time and yes there's glaring weaknesses but I like Porsche's crazy tanks, they just look neat.
I remember this being my first serious event vehicle, getting it back in 2014, and it too is one of my most played tanks
At this point I have reasons to believe Gaijin gives bad players for Spookston to fight against, making us think the game is fun... while also give more CAS players to punish him. Thanks for listening my TedTalk.
The even worse tiger, why would anyone want this…cool video though. You should try the 7.7 R3, actual gremlin.
Honestly, not the worst when played as a bonk n go tank. Excellent reverse speed has saved me far more than angled armor on both the VK45.01 and the Tiger P premium, plus the gun is still as good as its brethren (not to mention extra rewards in this Wal-Mart of an economy…)
“Even worse” as if the regular one is bad. On god it should go down to 3.0
we need the tow missile variant of the R3
im grinding it as i speak! currently grinding the c13 t90 sadly…
Ironically this Tiger which was what Ferdinand intended for army to use, didn't see service and all but one were finished as heavy TDs that, in typical German fashion, were misused as assault guns performing rather poorly. Meanwhile that one tank that actually saw service, was not intended to, but due to shortage of actual Tigers ended up uparmored and pushed into service as essentially a mobile command bunker.
if your aim is considered "not great" my aim is considered a violation of human rights and the geneva convention for how atrocious it is
Devious asf tiger tank
1:08
As you can see, PT-76 has everything. It has mobility, good BR, 2-pin stablizer, HEAT-FS and most of all no amour is the best amour. It is 'da most OP vehicle in da game'. LOL
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 45)
And i still agree. Its fun to see actual SPGs.
It's ignored for good reason
Two weeks ago I actually made a spreadsheet to see how many full uptiers I get at 5.3 with Germany. It was about 85% full uptiers. That BR is hell.
very funny gameplay when your tiger H1 gets slapped by an IS2 Shell
@@arubberduck9077 Tbf you’re always gonna get slapped by a 122, considering the ISU-122 is 5.3.
It's not that BR, it's every BR. 3.7 is the same for me. I got 36 full uptiers in a row over 2 days of play.
@@arubberduck9077 nothings stopping you from penning the is-2 though.
@@Rudy97 only 4 players max can be the top BR of a match. IE a game of 5.0 to 6.0 will have 4 6.0 tanks at max. And it can be less. The games designed to give you uptiers.
Would love to see you play the Somua SM, it might not be stabilized but its a really fun tank
Fun till you have no SL
@@robertharris6092 you will never run out tho, that tank is soo good, the stupid 150 upper plate that noone exspects on your tank + the auto loader makes this thing so deadly.
@@ThorindirNaari yeah i didnt think about the fact its a premium so it doesnt have an ungodly repair cost. And double SL earning. Though if you bring a full lineup you prob will go broke.
Nah, french 7.7 is fairly cheap@@robertharris6092
I swear there have been significantly more uptiers recently. I played a good number of matches yesterday and only saw 2 down tiers of any value, not even fulls
Gotta agree cuz holy shit man... I thought I was going crazy and was the only one seeing this
Same
new SL delete mechanics?
I love your content and humor Spookston, keep it up!
I love the 4501. Ive been using it for years in a triple 5.3 Tiger lineup and have been extremely successful. Along with the Paw Tiger premium, its one of the best GF money making lineups.
Bro just summarized the war thunder experience. Getting constant full uptiers so going to the next up br expecting to hop into the same games then still get full uptiered. Rinse repeat
Keep the good work up
I am simple man - I see KV-220 spammers hunted down and killed, I upvote.
This thing is pretty much the definition of mid. Best thing about it is just the mobility other than that I would probably just take a standard Tiger idk what you guys think though.
> Tiger
> "Mid"
The most german main thing ever said
@@ДАНЯ_МГЕ don’t main Germany and also this Tiger is quite literally just worse than the regular one no reason to really use it over the H1
@@Blazeyaboi a tank with a Pzgr can't physically be mid because of the raw firepower it has at it's br
If it can drive faster than a tutel and reload quicker that a Sturmtiger with this round - it's automatically good
This particular tank also has *some* armor and a reverse gear on top of that
This tank is at *least* good, but not mid by any means
@@ДАНЯ_МГЕ I mean when I say mid I don’t mean it’s bad let me clarify that when I say it’s mid I quite literally just mean that it’s in the middle it’s okay it’s fine it’s not great or anything but yeah firepower is good but armor is lacking because of the inability to angle.
@@Blazeyaboi so, you basically have higher evaluation standards than me for the tanks. What's "good" for me is a "mid" for you, gotcha
Try playing France or Britain to experience the true "mid"s sometime
I debated with a friend (and in comments) that thing where a 88 mm cannon can penetrate a Jumbo frontal plate, on distance, but never at short range.
It also never happened to me with the 75 mm.
My theory was that on "distance" a low velocity projectile "curve" reducing the effectiveness of the angle.
The theories in comments are that the 88 works better against multiple armour plates on distance, because it's heaver than the 75 that has more penetration but on single armour plates.
My friend theory was that the jumbo plate is modelled with "errors" and it has "zero armour" pixels that you can hit if you are very lucky.
VK 45.01 (P) is genuinely my favourite tank ever built, glad you decided to cover it.
Could you please cover the Chi-To? It has decent armor and mobility however the gun is just brilliant for that br.
Personly im more a flamen hot chi-to person 😂
75mms of big, flat armor at 4.7, which in reality means 5.7, is hardly ‘decent’. And it has worse mobility than literally every other medium except the Firefly (standard variant).
@@kirishima638 its litersly just a worse pz 4 g/h at a whole 1.0 BR higher isnt it? (Ofc being german tanks you coukd argue the pz4 is under BRd)
@@robertharris6092 yep. Worse armor. Worst traverse. No smoke. Worse reload. The size of a King Tiger. Worse MGs. Worse lineup. The shell has a lot of HE filler which is nice but no ballistic cap so it bounces easily.
@@kirishima638 yeah i noticed. Did japan just never invest in AP(HE)CBC?
Im convinced 5.3 doesn’t exist as a BR in game, especially for Germany. I was playing it a bunch yesterday and only played 6.3 games. No downtiers at all.
Ongod frfr
Same for me
well german 5.3 tanks are undertiered so you can play uptiers pretty comfortably.
@@quan-uo5ws I mean I played it all night, so I do. But still you’d expect at least one downtier every now and then.
@@ledfut the issue is 5.3 is an extremely popular br for Germany. 4.7 does not exist for most nations nor does 4.3. so to fill matches for 5.3 Germany you're going to get a lot of uptiers.
@@quan-uo5ws then most 5.3 in every nation are undertiared?
Yay! New Spookston video!
Spookston, I like the silly animal pictures and memes you put in some moments of the video.
Hey, you should do a video on the Ho-I, aslong as you don't get up-tiered it's imo a hidden gem in the Japanese tree
I'd honestly recommend spj fm 43, it's a gremlin and it's so incredibly fun.
Let's goo, more spookston
6:50 you are literally on their spawn radar and the guy still didn't know you were there
I think it'd be pretty need if you tried the AMX-50 Surbaisse. 6 second 19 round autoloader makes it very interesting to play. The gun also feels quite nice.
I got it a whike back abd have been playing it and expected it to suck ass and was pleasantly surprised. Only issue is it has a shit reverse gesr when all other french tanks of that era have amazing ones. If it just had a reverse geat of like -20 kph itd be great.
Hey Spookston! At 8:08 you went to the map to spot the enemy for the whole team, while you can do that without even having to open the map menu!
Hold "Alt" and then with your mouse cursor click on the spot on that little map in the bottom right corner where you want exactly to spot the enemy.
Good stuff as always
Glad to see that I'm not the only one somehow seeing constant uptiers at 4.3 5.3 and 6.3
I wonder if up tiers are the new SL deleter
Hey spookston! I know you already made a video on the bt5 with rockets, but I think you should play it on a higher BR. It would be funnier for us :)
try the DF105. Its a real fun heatslinger while beeing pretty tanky for a light tink as of inner armor which split the tank in 2 chambers and the transition and engine eating a lot of shots
The word is comparmentalized.
@@robertharris6092 thank you... as you can guess i am not a native English speaker, so my choice of words isnt the best
@@popeofrei4124 its still pretty good though.
The sound of a cinderblock sliding on concrete when the turret rotates gets me every time! XD
Love ur vids spooks, hope u have a great day
day 90 of asking spookston to play the american M60A3 TTS. I hope that i’ll finally get noticed since ive been doing this for a couple of months already.
Day 1 of asking spookston to play the challenger ds
It's always a good day when Spookston uploads
Just left home for school your videos are a good constant in my life thank you
please play the m41a1
I second this
Good to see another vid from THE kv220 slayer.
Loving the war thunder and history memes at the start of these vids
wow thanks for the video!!!
Spookston, of course they brought a KV-220 backup. It's not like it's the most overpowered tank of its BR bracket and people spam it.
ANOTHER SPOOKSTON BANGER 😤
7:28 rare anti gravity powered tiger 1 testing circa 1943 colorized
lol poor Spook is a CAS magnet. I have a friend who had problems like that during the early CoD days with predator drone killstreaks lol.
Ferdinand Porsche designing the best tanks known to man.
If only they had mounted the panthers gun on a tiger chassis, the 88 is alright but 190mm of pen is great to yeet through jumbos.
"Did he bring a KV-220 backup" -Man with 6 Porche Tiger backups
3:02
The Tiger's APHE has one of the most ridiculous HE fillers of any APHE shell in the game, sometimes it can even overpressure tanks!
Churchill crocodile would seriously be fun to see!
Another good video by the kv-220 slayer.
"This match is going better than I thought it would"
CAS: And I took that personally
gotta love the (mainly US) CAS spam at 5.7
This is not 2017 anymore. Everyone does it. You just don't notice because everyone has US planes in their tree. And B, you probably only play Germany to not get shat on by German BS in between Pe-8 TK Wii golf swings.
@@lector-dogmatixsicarii1537 I don't play only germany lmao, dunno where you got that from. guess I hit the nail right on the head if it struck a nerve with you
And no, it's not 2017 but there is still a massive cas spam by mainly US. Yes other countries also spam cas but not in the massive volume's as US cas spam's the most since every fighter in the tt can double as CAS and is used in that way...
How often I have seen a US main which spawned 1 tank, died in it and then wreaked havoc in a plane doing cas, get's shot down and proceeds to spawn another cas 5 more times (because they always have 3-4 planes in their lineups with back-ups)..
Next to how US cas just immediately wins the game because anti-air does not fucking work if there is 5-8 different planes up all doing cas, destroying your ground units and anti-air
The shape or the tank is quite nice at least, it’s aesthetically pleasing, especially in the back
The Porsche tiger and do335b have researched the German tree up to 7.3. Great combo.
You should definitely try the concept 3. It’s such a pain to play
"3 planes in 30 seconds? why?" Might be because you're the most visible target.
The only 2 advantages this has over command version, is the fact you have **slightly** higher speed limits (it's like an extra 3-4kph forward and reverse, really doesn't matter) and 5.3 instead of 5.7
it's really not that good other than "I have a tank that goes for 200 gjn"
the plane not crashing filled my brain with just danger zone
At this point spookston should just get a face cam so he doesn’t have to describe his facial expressions
7:35
....Boss, you killed a child?
Funny how Spookston still didnt noticed that half of his kills for last two videos was from incorrect overpreassure.
4:26 is just such a funny sequence lmao. I cant even explain how broken my pc setup would be after that
Finally started playing Germany, its such a great line up at 3.0 and 5.0 barely ever lose a engagement unless i run out of ammo or i cant reverse quick enough
keep it up bro
9:26
"Clearly this is the tank that won the war"
Well, if you want to stick to the theme of rare tigers there is always the Heavy Tank No. 6
Three planes in 30 seconds is quite normal, since if your teammate shoots at something, that tells you there is a target. When you can't spot any thing else, that is what you go after.
Hello Spookston. Excellent video you made. I’ve been reading about the GAZ-MM (72-K), ZiS-43, Type 94, Ta-Se, and So-Ki SPAAGs on the War Thunder Wiki and heard that they’re great vehicles to use. Could I get your opinion on said vehicles in future videos please?
Does anyone else have "Gas Gas Gas" by Manuel run through their head, but they say CAS CAS CAS instead, every time Spookston is attacked by CAS?
I'm willing to put money down that gaijin has specifically tagged spookston's account to give him only uptiers.
The uptiers have been insane lately.
I wonder if up tiers are the new SL deleter
I'd be interested in seeing a sort of "challenge" video, for example turning the master volume in the game down to 0 and playing without any audio.
4:31 all those three planes were players you took out and wanted some good old revenge kills.
Always a joy to watch you struggle with this diabolical matchmaker and yet still overcome the game's best efforts to sabotage you.
“What the heck 3 planes in 30secs ?!! *shows picture of white

This was the event that broke me on this game, a whole month of grinding only for the last achievement to be wholly based on luck, 3 games won while placing first in the team in a row. It was 100% based on chance based and the reason the vehicle is super rare. This was before you could buy milestones with gold. I didn’t okay WT for 2 years after that.
ah yes, the “bad but still okay, Long Tiger”

You should play the T32, surprisingly fast for a heavy tank with 298 mm front turret armor
plans cancelled, new spookston video

“It’s a turret, not a watch.”
3:00 the shell penetrated just enough to reach inside while hitting the armour piece on the turret, causing it to explode and hit the enemy ammo rack which was nearby.
amazing video
Worst? This porsches yell power! And firepower!
You know, the uptiers are kinda funny. The other day I had like 9 full uptiers in a row and yeah that was kinda painful trying to grind mods. Wouldn’t mind waiting a bit longer if I could at least play games on tier.
100% I have had several games in the last week that my WHOLE team was 5.3 against a whole team of 6.3 (over 75%)
There it is
Hey spookston i've figured out that as long as your shell has about 200g of TNT equivalent itll overpressure an open top or thinly armored tank if you non pen or even splash the round near them
The turret traverse speed hurt my soul.
Hey spook i have a small question can we have your soundmod i love it 👌
(And btw love your vids just pure comedy gold)
Was wondering if you could play the Type 60 SPRG (not the ATGM one). Never ever seen it in battles. It's something like the R3 with the two recoilless rifles, but without the good parts :)
