Still feeling really under the weather but I hope you guys are doing well

Haha, the medium tank is actually what everyone think of it, it’s actually a Heavy in the Italians’ eyes

This thing is a hidden gem and it should stay that way

"I'm so out of it" Proceeds to get a 14 tank killstreak. Ok Spooks, ok.

The team letting you down when you cap all the points and kill half of the enemy is about 95% of the War Thunder experience.

If you want to go even higher in ap explosive amount, use the 90/53

I have now been given a reason to play Italy, considering I'm stuck at 2.3-2.7. The P40 is one of those tanks that you think is made of paper, but it isn't.

14:03 Spookston is becoming aware

14:08 friendly fire will not be tolerated

Italian and French vehicles are some of the quirkiest in the game, which makes them really fun to goof around with. The D2 especially has some really goofy side armor. Also, like the gargoyle I am, I'm gonna suggest the ARL-44 again. :)

I play the p40 all the time in Italy and I love using it, it's heat rounds melt through anything and I started primarily using those after one match I ran out of ammo with AP rounds so I started using heat and I realized I didn't need to double tap half the enemy's I shot

As a fellow Italian player, it is nice to see you play the Italian tech tree and especially the great vehicles it has

The #1 at the end of a name means that they tried to use their username but it was, supposedly, already taken. Mine was, somehow, taken already according to Gaijin and so at first the name was all screwed up in-game with a bunch of weird characters about halfway through. So I tried to use my one free name change and Gaijin decided my name was already taken... which I somehow doubt, and so they just tacked on the #1 at the end. Given my name is oddly specific and usual, I have a feeling my initial entry was actually registered correctly with their database but in-game it was all garbled... somehow? Spaghetti code go brrrrr. No idea if anything similar happened with the other players, but that's usually what the #1 is, it means they tried to take a username that was at least registered in the servers already.

Well this might actually get me to grind to get the p40 since it’s by spookston and he shows what tanks are capable of

I've overpressured KV-1Es, 105 Shermans, STuHs, and even an Abrams once. The P40 is by far the best tank i've ever played and I hope Gaijin doesn't change a single thing about it.

Funny thing : the "P" letter in P40 stand for "pesante" that means "heavy", the tank was invented as "heavy tank"

0:41 Striking him directly on his "Good Luck" emblem is poetic

It helps to have more explosive mass than the IS2

I am convinced Spookston has never experienced room-temperature.

10:37 They recently changed how usernames work in the latest update, so many people who play War Thunder through Steam had their names reverted/changed to their Steam names. And because you can have countless Steam users with the same name the #(number) is being used to identify/differentiate between different users.

The AB 43 would have my wholehearted recommendation if your playing Italy. Fires a good round, amazing speed, no armour best armour.

I WAS THE 2C YOU KILLED :D

Thanks for this video about our creation (Me and Kolin0) done years ago for the game. We always appreciate when someone enjoy and have fun with our vehicles (we did also the Semoventes , the Sahariano and the Lancia 3ro)

You should play the Class 3 (p) It’s ridiculously big

The P40 is a wonderful tank to pair with the Semovente 43/34 (the one at 3.3). One has a turret, he other has 100mm of armor on the front (75+25), making them a deadly combo when against lighter tanks (aphe) and heavier tanks (heat). KVs will still give you trouble sadly.

spookston: kills a barrel also spookston: did he fire a smoke shell at me

Just as an aside, this thing is also unique for having a unique sight you can activate without changing anything, even on console where you don’t have access to the WT page.

0:48 "Is that a 2C? I can't "C" it very well" Pun intentional

"How did I not see that?" Spookston trying to find a ant on hill 500m away.

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 99)

I actually just recently started playing the P40 while I'm setting up a lineup for the Turan III and I always knew the P40 was a at least a decent tank since it was the only low tier italian tank I struggled to fight in my low tier Sherman's but actually taking it out myself had been way more pleasant than I could have ever expected

Thank you very much for playing with it!, your videos are incredible, keep it up!

The P40 for me was the light at the end of the tunnel that is the Italian med tank line I also just checked that P40 can have 100+mm of effective armor when angled

thanks for featuring this. This is a tank that i realized was a mosnter a year ago. Helped me get to the centauro quicker than it took me to get to the equivelant AMX-30 with the premium one for the french

Spookston enjoying himself and having a genuinely good time playing a vehicle? Next video is going to be absolutely cursed for Spookston.

I was that m3 you killed in the second match. That was me... Specifically the one at 6:32

14:20 you don't have to hate yourself!!

During my whole Italian grind I had the most fun in the P40. It really is a good vechile.

Started War Thunder around a month ago and couldn’t find a tech tree that felt like it was doing what I enjoyed until I started playing the Italian one, and the P40 was super surprising. I had it in the line up as “something to use when my good tanks are dead” but found it was the one I was actually performing best with at its BR. It isn’t a beast, but it just kind of performs slightly better than expected in pretty much everything. A bit more survivable than expected, hits a bit harder than expected, can get around a bit faster than expected. I like the lil guy.

You should play the Italian tank Destroyer with 100mm of front armour, it has this same 75mm gun but more armour you can angle it a little to.

Italian shells are very interesting. Usually less pen than everyone else but assuming it does pen it's usually a really big boom

Im glad you made a video on this, I LOVE the P40. My most commonly played tank.

7:05 trying not to cry xd

Little tip in uptiers switch the ap with the heat and downtiers keep ap. Also the p40 is a angling beast. Also video on 3.7 arl pls

Yay! Another banger from my favorite wt cc. And a Italian vehicle nonetheless 😊

It's really funny cuz irl this and other Italian tanks were death traps. The rivets in place of welds would explode with the lightest impact and shoot off into the tank like shrapnel even if it was a grazing blow. Parts would fall off and crews would get shredded

As someone who plays the P40 a lot, the whole time I’m just shouting “ANGLE!”

You should really play the "Turan I" at (2.3 or 2.7, I don't remember). it's APHE basically worse solid shot that has like 15g of explosive filler.

I love the P40, always angle the side of the front plate that has the extra armor plate. Its incredibly trolly and often bounces and tanks shots

Spookston, if you like big booms take out the PV-2D in ground RB. It carries 6 MASSIVE sea mines that drop individually and has also EIGHT .50cals in the nose. It is awesome.

The #1 thing is when you try to change your username to something that is already taken, gaijin suggests adding a #1 to the end and if you press the change username button again it automatically changes it to the name with the #1 at the end, it then costs like 1000 ge to change your username again

You should make a video on the Turan III in the Hungarian tech tree. It’s armor is average but it gets an insane amount of Pen on its PG round for low tier, something like 113mm of pen

Spook always jinxed himself 🗿

you get #1 when the nickname you want is taken

hey spookston you can do a CAS video with this, there is a italian strike aircraft somewhere around rank 1 with a 102mm cannon on it

2:11 indeed

If you enjoyed the p40, you should definitely play the japanese Ho-I, it is at 2.0 with an aphe round that has about 400g of explosive filler, as compared to the p40 with 270g, makes it an absolute monster

and thus spooks became an italian main, our numbers shall continue to grow

6:12 the best comedic timing I've ever seen 😂😂😂😂😂😂

The P40's turret has 45mm+45mm armor all over the turret face, which is why it's so absurdly tanky. Also, since you played the P40, you have to play the 75/34 M43. 100mm of spaced 25+75mm armour up front at 3.3 is really OP.

(Day 31) Really wanted to see you try out the French Lorraine 37L, it's an open top tank destroyer with 47mm gun that has a 104mm of penetration, it's a fun vehicle to play around

This is just the Scorpion Tank in Generals and the bgm Spookston uses fits well lol

2:24 Why that rhyme soo well?

You should try the italian AB 43, the mobility is really really good and it has a pretty good gun for its BR.

Day 46 of asking Spookston to play the ikv 72

"Even when you pop off your team can just let you down so hard. My backpack isnt big enough for everyone." Real Kurt Knispel feels right there.

Spookston try not to say Jeez-louise every 2 minutes challenge: IMPOSSIBLE

The mobility is pretty good. Acceleration is definitely good and it maintains its speed on terrain.

Day 12 for Chi Ha LG

If you are still curious about the #1 suffix of player nickname, that's actually some steam related naming feature to identify players with identical names AFAIK (as you might be aware of it's possible for steam users to create accounts with identical names).

I won a million sl from a daily crate while watching this, thank you spookston

14:13 but your a furry 2

Day 23 of requesting CV9030fin , since you had a blast with other terrible IFV's this one should be fun.

Gotta love how aggressive the voice likes for the guy rangefinding targets are

The P40 and their casemate TDs at the 3.0 to 3.7 range is just this insane little line up of fun hard hitting tanks with sometimes frankly comically thick armor and kinda shows that Italy knew how to build great tanks they just weren't ready when Adolf decided to kick things off early

Dude that furry thing was so out of no where and I love it so much 😂😂 by far my fav KZfaqr around

Omg im glad someone noticed how good this thing actually is with the aphe

14:05 that caught me off guard, as I am a furry, and casual war Thunder player

Im convinced spookston lives in alog cabin with no heat or ac

i love how every other phrase is jeez louise

This thing is an absolute monster in SB, people struggle to pen it, its gun is outrageous, and its mobility is good enough to flank with

p40 has always been one of my favorite tanks, but nothing beats the breda 501

Spookson: Man I am really out of it -> *dumpsters opposing team*

Thanks for doing a video on an Italian tank while I'm in Italy my dude

14:12 "Friendly fire will not be tolerated"

Yes I love the p40, Also it's able to angle more generously than the Sherman, one of the reasons I actually liked it more

14:02 - Wait a minute, wait a minute! That sounds... familiar... Hmmm, maybe I should put too much thought into it.

Ok that looked actually fun and having a gun that can pen anything with HEAT or just delete things is great. The complete opposite of the Churchill experience. That's right! This is video 63 of asking for a Churchill.

Curse of fluctuating uncomfortable temperatures

I’m gobsmacked you can see B from that position in your first kill, I’ll have to keep an eye on there

I am happy to hear a Who Killed Captain Alex reference in your videos Spook 😂

Hey Spookston you should play the doom tutel, the T95. Tigers and panthers got up tiered to 6.0 and the tutel eats them alive

Now I know why Anchovy wanted to get one of this things for Anzio

Spook at the same time has telescopic vision and is completely blind. This man shouldn't be possible.

You say your suprised you see half the targets you do, I cant see most of them. Honestly, good job.

I'll be honest, on the USA lineup I had there were no "long distance" tanks that could really dance with panthers. So on said long distance maps I'd just leave instead of banging my head against a wall with a sherman or gun carriage at long range vs a panther.

13:22 bro is just vibin' in the chill corner.

Received my spookston plush the other day and am loving it adding it to my collection of content creators plushies

5:42 never pushed a like on WT gameplay videos before that moment

i remember this tank back when italy's ground tree wasn't implemented! was pretty cool looking
