Not only do they have excellent pen, but tend to kill whatever you pen in 1 hit due to the explosive charge in the shell. Only downside is they are cumbersome and open top, I usually die to planes whenever using them. It is nice to be able to reliably clap cocky jumbos with it though 😂

Maus shouldn't be 7.3, it would be unbalanced a lot, what Gaijin should really do, is decrease the B.R bracket, from 1.0 to 0.7. It would allow us to breath for a moment, no more Maus vs T62M-1.

Spookston, I am an avid warthunder player/community member and I just watched Tankenstien's video about gaijin unfoldering vehicles. In it, in case you have not watched it already, he makes the alarming point that while they are only unfoldering low-tier vehicles right now, they will begin to do so for the upper reaches of the tech trees. This will add hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of extra research required to get to top tier. This isn't just alarming as someone fostering two brand-new players into the game, but also someone who suffers from the grind myself. I humbly ask you to make a short video (even a minute-long video would be great) about pushing back against this grind-lengthening behavior. Best wishes, JohnCenus (in-game)
He has brought joy to the Swedish Empire yet again, he does not disappoint the leaders!! Thy efforts have been noticed by the Council, and I shall forward your fellowship to the higherups. Me and all of Swedish Empire enjoyers thank thee for this treasure! In all seriousness, seeing you enjoy Sweden brings me great happiness and even greater happiness that you recognized my comments to play these terrific war machines. I'm not the only one to recommend but I thank you once again o7
Still want to see a video on the CV90-105 which is getting closer and closer to being the same br as the 120. I been requesting it so much probably close to 10-15 times now
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 36)
How about the M47, its a rather obscure tank that alot of people skip over, even tho its a really good tank once you get past the horrendous stock grind
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. Hopefully you see this (and make a video on them, they are my favorite vehicles to play)
hey spookston if you havent done the PvKv II thats also in the Sweden tree, it's a beast at 4.0 with its powerful magnification i never miss a shot. Also the APHE has very good pen values. The round can be very forgiving by still killing most of the crew if you dont hit dead center. If you play the tank destroyer right you can easily get 10 plus kills every game.
5:20 Maus’ thought process: smoke is popped, he will attempt to cross. But first he will wait a moment. Then he needs to accelerate, then he will travel forward, which will put him right … about … there!
Give the TAM 2C some love, it's unbelievably good, I even took it out with my Leo 2A5/6, did so well with it in a lot of games I didn't even have to use my Leos, underrated light tank.
I was going to suggest the Swedish IKV72. I know it’s very low BR but it’s mad fun. It’s fast, low profile, with a ridiculous APHE round that one shots pretty much everything. It’s a great ratty tank since it’s so stupid fast and small
Spookston whenever he says that he thinks a tank is bad: gets 10 kills with it without dying once and complains about it. Spookston when he plays a good tank but just doesn't like it: gets 3 nukes per game and complains about the tank in general.
Maus has the most jacked damage model i have ever seen in WT. I constantly destroy almost all of their ammo with any non-dart and non-APHE rounds before they eventually die from crew loss.
I love me the Wiesel 1a2 the 20mm autocannon version. You’re telling me an aa that’s smaller than a car, has a 66mm pen round, 2nd gen thermals, spotting, a lrf, and can do 55 mph is at 7.0?! I love it! It’s hilarious to play
@@PrivateMemo sorry wrong number. But my guy it’s a great gun, if it’s not shooting at planes. Ifvs and lights get shredded by it. Plus not to mention all the other features
I hate facing this thing in a Maus, because if you can see him coming often times you won’t be able to turn fast enough to kill him, if you see him at all, and he’s not sat behind a hill 1500 meters away.

I just got this thing and it's so much fun. For a suggestion you should play the Finnish T-55M. Same BR as the AM version in Russia with less speed and a better APFSDS round.
I’ve gotten quite a few nukes (or very close to them) with this thing and in general at Sweden 7.7 (I don’t have the STRV 103), Sweden 7.7 is super good, and in competent hands it can be very strong.
hey spookston you should try the ikv 72, no one plays it, no one talks about it, but it's just as mobile as a BT5, has a 75mm cannon with 20 degrees of gun depression, 270 grams of HE filler, and neutral steering, all of this at 1.7, its only downside is that its a casemate

Just got a nuke in the VBC! I loved it.

May be Sturer Emil/Dicker Max next? Penetration to BR ratio is pretty impressive on both of them
