Thinking I should play a German vehicle next, also I have a dumb challenge video coming out soonish

"no armor no survivability an okay gun and okay mobility" Eminem is afraid of this guy

My theory is that gaijin is conducting a social experiment on italy mains

>your country needs to have modern tanks >You design a next gen MBT that is already old in terms of design >You order 600 of those >Thankfully the USSR collapse so the order is reduced to 200 >Still, everything outside the FCS and the cannon is pretty much outdated >Upgrades are rare and not implemented fully/well >You decide to finally do a complete refit of the vehicle >The refit actually is not the best compared to how 2020 tanks outside your country are >You refuse to go further and buy some Leopards 2A8 Ladies and Gentlemen,this is my country's history with their MBT doctrine and yes, it's tragic

As a Italian player, it is pain, but that is why we play the Centauro. Also a song you can sing mumble to Sabaton Primo Victoria

9:27 "I see your laser-guided Anti-Tank Guided Missile and raise you my Tactical Ablative Picket Fence!"

Spook: this is the worst MBT Also Spook: gets a nuke with it

"At least he is disabled." - Spookstoon, 2024.

"Mom can we have Challenger 2?" "We have Challenger 2 at home" Challenger 2 at home:

0:00 literally in parliamentary hearings "this tank is a ciofeca"

The suffering makes you stronger in the Italian tech tree

"This is the worst tank ever" *Proceeds to get a nuke and completely turn the game around*

12:30 as a Sweden main, I can confirm that the 122s are absolutely ridiculous. There are so many matches I have played where I take shots that the other player thought would kill me and I just swing my turret towards them and send them back to the spawn screen. The fact that all 122s get spall liners is pretty nutty as well.

AMV is so sad. They took the arietes which was already arguably the worst top tier mbt, gave it a new round to make it stay at top tier (despite that round being outclassed by others at the same br), gave it some more engine power, and didnt fix any of the *massive* problems the original ariete had like the complete lack of hull armor despite oto melara themselves saying it has composite in the hull. Oh and then they took away the armor kits that the other arietes get despite photos showing the amv pt 1 mounting both kits so that they could mount them on another vehicle and add it later (which they still havent added). Oh and then they nerfed the arietes.

Expectations post-intro: he's gonna CAS'd during the whole video. Reality: 1st death in the second half of the video.

7:38 the sherman just like I'm just here to be here man

bringing a Sherman into top tier is like training your 6 year old to fight Floyd Mayweather

It’s so sad the Italians basically don’t have a top top tier MBT

Playing with Italy and knowing it’s so objectively terrible also has its upsides. You never feel more satisfied with getting a single kill

What I found with sticky hands is 1. I was washing too much and 2. I wasn't drinking enough water

I remember the good old days when the Ariete had the highest pen round in the game. "They stole it from me carmine, they took it!"

1:08 a very disappointed hitman on his first day at work

Germany: gets good armored MBTs Italy: well we use pizza and cheese to cover up our ammo

-spookston: this tank sucks -also spookston: drops 10 nukes

3:42 A-10 getting down by the coaxial machine gun of the Leclerc S2.

"The ariete isn't too bad" - Spookston, 2024 (Don't mind the rest of what he said :D)

What an excellent video, with a terrific edit, and a great story arc. Well done.

Barrett’s Privateers by Stan Rogers is my go-to song for adventuring/travelling .

Hearing a line from Generals’ Battlemaster tank while I’m grinding in a Type-59 for China is just beautiful

3:06 Spookston suddenly breaks character and attempts to communicate with the mothership

This is my new favorite video by you, very funny first half, and very satisfying second half + the nuke comeback

that nuke was epic, good video bro!! GG

Day 9 of asking Spookston to play the T-10M

If there's one vehicle that if we do get Yugoslavia in the game (Either as an independent nation or as a sub-tree for the USSR), it's the SO-122. It's a Sherman hull that was given the 122mm gun from the IS-2 and upgraded with the V-2 engine from the T-34.

Thanks for the review of the week clip!

It's basically as if the italian just took a look at the Hellcat from a museum and were like: "What if we take this, but make it modern"

"Maybe that's the issue, maybe I'm washing my hands too much" Yes, spookston, that is the issue. Too much soap will make your hands start to become rubbed raw, and along with the soap most likely still on them when you use your mouse, you've probably either worn down or covered the mouse partially in soap. So, please, do not wash your hands like every time you walk into a room-

Best tank in the game, I shot it once with HEAT in the front of the turret expecting not to do much and I left the poor thing shivering

Congratulations for the Win!! Love ur videos, keep going 🗿👍

Really enjoying the videos lately, your gameplay has been exceptional!!!

You should play the AMX-13 with the ss.11 ATGMs, i can assure you it's peak fun comedy

The Little Ceasar's Delivery guy doesn't count as "your Italian friend".

Thank you for using C&C sounds. It brings me back to my childhood

2:55 love this effect they added during ammo detonations and the fart reverb get me every time cause it reminds me of the turret launches the T-series tanks do

Meanwhile modern Challenger 2 upgrades which are all on separate tanks in the game which leads to them being largely detrimental.

I got a British army recruitment advert at the start of this video. they want you to play the 3 inch gun carrier.

To be honest, once you played the whole Italian tech tree you come out with a crucial skill : how not to get shot.

Playing Italy gives you an aura of prestige that allows you to do well

I like that part with the A-10. It actually kills something with the gun, but it is an IFV, and then is shot down by the main gun of a MBT, illustrating why you do not go low for a gun kill in modern warfare.

18th 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.

2:15 There is a thin layer of oil on your skin wich is made by your body to moisturise and protect your Skin. Soap also removes this oil layer, wich in my case cause my hands to become sticky. It is a kind of overreaction by the body to restore the oil layer as fast as possible by producing a excessive amount of oil. I got around it by using less aggressive soap, but it varies from person to person and there may be other causes.

Awesome, another great Spankstink video. My favorit!

Thank you for the upload spook 😃

Babe wake up new spookston video just dropped

I just noticed the castle today too, I was playing as CAS though and seen it from above.

I’m so proud of Spook, he was finally able to spawn in and actually drop the nuke and not get teamkilled!!

If the armor was actually accurate it would be quite decent

He acts like he doesn’t like playing top tier, yet sounds like he is enjoying every second of it… Spook 300iq tricking us to make him play bad tanks (he loves it)

Glad you released this on my birthday, I’m an Ariete enjoyer myself

Didn't expect a Battle Master Tank quote. Improved my day.

You might be draining the oil from your hands by washing too much, leading to your hands making more oil in the pores.

"Why is there a Sherman?" Are you a Communist, Spookston? That sounds like Commie talk!

Spookston pulling an insane clutch at the end is amazing

the lesson i learned from spooky today is that you are simply unstoppable

4:49 one must imagine Ariete got Abram treatment Gaijin gonna turn Glofied Leopard 1 into HSTV-H(eavy) with 2 sec. reload

Day 102 of requesting CV9030fin

I wonder how many people get the c&c references in your vids but I love them

That ending was insane! One heck of a comeback.

I cant believe you played this pain.

7:12 - China will grow larger 🤣

Spookston could do an updated video on what nations you would think people should grind or play your favorite tank (if you have one), also enjoy your videos a lot.

Bro!!! That clutch was insane!!

Love the unloved M47 Patton day 141!

Attempt 31 at getting Spookston to play the 90/53 M41M - an Italian glass cannon that penetrates anything at its BR....but it only has 8 bullets! No, that was not a spelling error, I *really* mean 8.

That clutch at the end was unreal

2:03 - 2:07 the charging sound of the Spartan Laser? Classy

First! Edit: I was second :(

Like this coment for more zombie noises

Spookston: Saddest tank Also Spookston: Proceeds to get a nuke in it

7:30 United States command when the armored engineers suggest a new tank

Spookston: why do I smell strawberies me with strawberry jam toast in my hands: uhh

Holy crap best WT clutch ive seen all year. Amazing last game spooky

"The Saddest Main Battle Tank" *Completely annihilates the enemy team and gets multiple aces*

"I know I'm not saying it right, and quite frankly, I do not care" Constantly amazing one liners XD

Hey Spookston! Do you think you could also try the Leclerc AZUR?

7:06 I was not expecting a blender reference in a spoookston video.

The lights over the tracks look like smiley faces 😃

for the nukes thing: afaik if you spawn it in via the quick access thingy button the bomb itself is set to assault fuse. if you J out and enter the plain through the menu it will have your set bomb timer

10:28 just googled suddenly smelling strawberries, this what came up: Phantosmia may be caused by a head injury or upper respiratory infection. It can also be caused by aging, trauma, temporal lobe seizures, inflamed sinuses, brain tumors, certain medications and Parkinson's disease.

Mission Impossible: Spookston trying to make a bad tank super powerful casually getting to the top of the leaderboard every match

Spookston: Smells strawberry (his mind) mind of Spookston: STROKE!?!?!?!?

I have picked up saying ope and geeze in my everyday vocabulary because of your videos

I wanna see spookston take on the monumental task of actually getting any sort of enjoyment out of the pbv 301

I REALLY ENJOYED THIS VIDEO

Hey Spookston, I just made it to 5.3 on the American tree, and I've noticed that nearly every battle ends with two or three aircraft completely dominating the map. It makes it hard to go into rounds knowing that you're going to be defenseless to it no matter how you play.

Whenever you ammorack someone putting the “KABOOM” sound over makes it much funnier

Good old command and conquer sound effect. So nostalgic

7:47 He's surrendering, Spookston is commiting a warcrime :(

Spookston speaking french is like a nightmare for me (i'm french). His "excusez - moi" is spoken as if an alien or monster is trying to imitate a human to lure it out and eat it.

That Sherman gave me flashbacks to when I killed a KV-1 taking on muh Abrums. I felt bad, but he shot first. I was staring at him questioning myself if that was a WW2 heavy tank.
