AA with delayed fuse HE (Frag) works by denying space, basically. AA battery, when seeing flying enemy formation, works on a firing solution by finding out a point in space enemy will be in a certain amount of time. Such space has a certain area and attitude. Then fuse is being set to explode after a certain time (concidering that the speed of the shell is known, that translates to a certain attitude). Then the battery saturates space around the point we found earlier with HE shells that explode when reaching near that point. And scince by the time shells reach that, enemy formation is already there planes are being battered by shrapnel mostly. There is a WW2 instructions video on yt on how does the heavy AA work.
Attempt number 40 at getting Spookston to play any tank with a dozer blade, the catch is, he has to dig in before engaging targets. Movement around the map is allowed, but he has to dig in again before reengaging.
@@aleksbestmusic6903 it's possible he's spent the last few months (or however long ago this was first suggested) trying to get footage but it's too difficult of a challenge
10:11 I'm a huge fan of old jeeps and plan to get one some day, but I was so happy to hear that someone else would want to see one with one of those big cannons on it, there is also one with a recoilless rifle that could also be added
Two wacky US TDs I wish were in the game are the T56 and T57 GMCs. Which are prototype tank destroyers produced in September of 1942, both were based on an M3A3 Stuart chassis and were armed with the same 76mm gun as the M10 and it uses the same mounting as the T55E1. The T56 would later have a gun shield fitted to it, while the T57 was never fitted with one and used the same engine as the M3 Lee. Both were cancelled/abandoned in February of 1943.
These would be pretty cool. Hope they get added at some point although gaijin seems to be only focusing on top tier at the moment. Kind of unrelated but both of these tanks used to exist in wot the t57 was removed some years ago and the t56 is still in the game.
1:49 “I’ve never seen die to a flamethrower in the game” try and get a kill while only being able to use fire and you can’t use the main cannon I want to see him suffer it’ll be funny
To make the HE-VT work you have to pre designate a range by range find while using the HE-VT shell and then shoot at the plane when it’s at or just before that pre designated distance.
Was playing the IS-3 and got Sands of Sinai. Spawned in the lower right spawn and an uptiered flakbus spawned in the top left spawn. We could see each other from just outside our spawn and started a battle between a thing that couldn't pen me from that distance and a tank that could annihilate it but I couldn't get the range right so it was the most useless fight ever

22nd time challenging Spookston to bring the Char 25t into an 8.3 lineup, and then incrementally increase the BR to find when the tank becomes unironically unplayable.
@@marshall1896 No, you don't. It's in tanker manuals that it is dangerous to do so and usually the breech is empty until combat and you should fire off the round if you want to switch the shell. Modern tanks are probably different but back then yeah you don't do that.
But that is kinda accurate. They set the fuse once and the rounds get lobbed to the predetermined height (range), they wouldn't change it , and they didn't actually aim at a plane very often. Other flak batteries would be lobbing to different ranges, higher or lower, so the overall effect was a consistent "box" of flak bursts the planes had to fly through. Imagine a number 2 on the gun trying to adjust the range of every shell to counter the movement of a plane traveling north of 200 mph, 10-20,000 feet up.... it would be slow, clunky and ineffective, just as it is in game now. Quick reaction and adjusting of aim was done by the faster firing, smaller caliber flak guns These early timed fuzes are like the flamethrowers and dozer blades, useful tool IRL, but in-game just a gimmick that's not really effective.
6:50 HE (VT) works by rangefinding the target. Then you get *Fuze: [Distance]* which means it will explode at said distance. Can be funny if you can somehow Top-Attack Light tanks with that. Basically: Rangefind target, shoot towards target and HE will explode at the distance of the target.
You should do the „One in the Chamber“ challenge using the (finnish) Charioteer Mk. VII: For every target, you only get one shot. If you get a kill, you can go on to the next target. If you only get a crit or do nothing, you have to consider your gun empty and move to a predetermined area (e.g. a cap) to get your next shot. Of course this would be easy with APHE or big HE, thats why I said you should use the Charioteer (I didn’t want to go to evil on you, and the 20 pdr is actually quite potent). But if you want, you can of course use any other solid shot (or heat for that matter, if it’s small caliber it still won’t always oneshot if aimed incorrectly) vehicle (or you can use solid shot instead of a vehicles APHE).
5:12 you should be able to set he-vt fuse by either using rangefinder or by using the scroll wheel idk why it’s only rangefinder in game that’s almost never useful
@dinochookproductions5190 He said CAP, which stands for Close Air Patrol, A.K.A he uses planes to shoot down planes, when Playing Japan at 5.7, I grab A7M2 Reppu for this. And the J7W1 Shinden if i'm playing 6.0

It would be sick if you played the M103 and even brought an AA if you wanted, and If you come across this comment again, how long after you post do you look at the comments
I remember when this thing was first added because I stopped playing war thunder shortly after. It was a glass cannon for the br and at first German players had no idea that their ammo rack was in that box compartment so it was always easy to ammo rack them and this was a time before over pressure existed however it still worked for open tops and it was always a blast that knock one out with HE. From my memory it definitely got power crept because they added a lot more vehicles/nations when I returned.
I do remember playing the 8,8 cm one time a few years ago on the Maginot Line map. Hiding in the town, a PBY flew over and I just lobbed shell after shell. I finally had an APHE hit him in the wing and only got a "hit", felt good about that shot.
Just a little fun thing for the HE-TF shell. You have to rangefind either the plane or an object. The fuse will be set to that distance. That in return means that you can basically top-down attack open tops by simply rangefinding the rock they sit behind and shooting over said rock. The shell will explode over them and overpreassure them. You might wanna give that a shot.
This is particularly fun with a few friends camping in obscure locations that are hard to see from the air, and then lobbing HEVTs at aircraft. Heavy bombers especially do not like flak clouds.
I have seen exactly one tank die to a flamethrower. It was an M18, and it still managed to kill the Churchill. Please continue bringing fighters in your lineup. Keep setting a good example for your viewers.
"Never seen something die to a flamethrower in this game" If that isn't an invitation to do a Churchill Crocodile video I don't know what is man. This is video 6 of asking for a Churchill.
One year and 88 days of asking for the Foch. (I'm very pleased with the fact that the days thematically match the content of the video, since it's about the flak 88)
I know you just played the T95, but I had a really silly idea. Try and uptier the T95 (or T28) to 10.0+ and try to get a kill with it, if you can get a kill go nuts and try killing more than one. Love your content, keep up the amazing work, hope your recovery is going well!
The way that the timed fuse works is that you use the range finder to select a distance that you want the shell to explode. Then it explodes once it reaches that distance.
7:03 if that’s sound war thunder logic why am I at 0 kills and 3 bomb deaths? I do great or good I get bombed, I can barely get a kill and I still get bombed. If I’m in a light tank I’ll make it to the battle then all the planes will bomb me the light tank and not the heavy tanks out in the open. If I’m in a heavy tank I’ll barely be at the battle before I get bombed. Gaijin at its finest.
There were also 2 Flakbus with a 50mm Flak cannon , like they put in the Me262 Pulkzerstörer . Or a 75mm , there are many funny vehicles out there to add . Well they only build a handful of them , but Sweden get a Tiger 2 P wich only one was captured and test shot to pieces .

I do remember playing the 8,8 cm one time a few years ago on the Maginot Line map. Hiding in the town, a PBY flew over and I just lobbed shell after shell. I finally had an APHE hit him in the wing and only got a "hit", felt good about that shot.
damn skill wise this is the best video in a while, juicy shots
“I don’t think I’ve seen anything die to a flamethrower in this game” wellll now you know your next challenge. You won’t. 1:45
“Just wanna kiss the ground…op…….I’ll call that successfull

The halo sounds fit so well. Looking forward to the Scorpion video
Thank you spookston for entertaining me countless of hours each time you post a new video I smile keep up the good work😊
Just a little fun thing for the HE-TF shell. You have to rangefind either the plane or an object. The fuse will be set to that distance. That in return means that you can basically top-down attack open tops by simply rangefinding the rock they sit behind and shooting over said rock. The shell will explode over them and overpreassure them. You might wanna give that a shot.
spookston: never seen a tank die to a flamethrower
me: sounds like a good video idea
This video upped the "Every time Spookston got CAS'ed 2024" counter for sure
I played this for a brief time a few years ago and it was hands down some of the most fun I had have in my entire War Thunder career.
the meme at the beginning was your best so far and is too accurate hahah
Interviewer:Spookston what is your favorite spaa in war thunder?
Spookston:flackbus!!!
This is particularly fun with a few friends camping in obscure locations that are hard to see from the air, and then lobbing HEVTs at aircraft. Heavy bombers especially do not like flak clouds.
Thank you for doing this. My absolute favorite tank.
challenge idea: spookston gets to play any vehicle but any time he says the words “pal,” “done for,” “absolutely,” or “boys,” he has to fire smoke
I have seen exactly one tank die to a flamethrower. It was an M18, and it still managed to kill the Churchill.
Please continue bringing fighters in your lineup. Keep setting a good example for your viewers.
10:16 37mm jeep uptiered to 5.0? That’s lowballing it, the Locust mains will have that getting God Mode in top tier at day one
“Right reco just kiss the ground SMOCH LIKE YA KISSIN- 13:10”
"Never seen something die to a flamethrower in this game" If that isn't an invitation to do a Churchill Crocodile video I don't know what is man. This is video 6 of asking for a Churchill.
Spookston becoming a CAS main is the vilian arc I can really get behind
One year and 88 days of asking for the Foch. (I'm very pleased with the fact that the days thematically match the content of the video, since it's about the flak 88)
I know you just played the T95, but I had a really silly idea. Try and uptier the T95 (or T28) to 10.0+ and try to get a kill with it, if you can get a kill go nuts and try killing more than one. Love your content, keep up the amazing work, hope your recovery is going well!
8.8's lack of depression is truly depressing. One bump and all of a sudden I can't hit anything lower than 10 degrees.
First day of asking Spookston to play the T114. It’s a pretty interesting looking vehicle.
1:49 well well well what do we have here
Sounds like Spook will be doing a crocodile flamer only video 😈
The way that the timed fuse works is that you use the range finder to select a distance that you want the shell to explode. Then it explodes once it reaches that distance.
7:03 if that’s sound war thunder logic why am I at 0 kills and 3 bomb deaths? I do great or good I get bombed, I can barely get a kill and I still get bombed. If I’m in a light tank I’ll make it to the battle then all the planes will bomb me the light tank and not the heavy tanks out in the open. If I’m in a heavy tank I’ll barely be at the battle before I get bombed. Gaijin at its finest.
Spookston getting better with planes as a result of wanting revenge on CAS users is hilarious
Lol Spookston finally did a video on my favourite thing in the game :D
13:15 Well, you kissed the ground alright. 😃
the heavenly duo can't be missing 1 so milk truck next Please!!!
There were also 2 Flakbus with a 50mm Flak cannon , like they put in the Me262 Pulkzerstörer . Or a 75mm , there are many funny vehicles out there to add . Well they only build a handful of them , but Sweden get a Tiger 2 P wich only one was captured and test shot to pieces .
1:40 Ahhh
Look at Him
He’s just having Fun
So Cute
