augh

I love the fact that the Girls und Panzer community did a crowdfunding to pay for a roof to protect the last BT-42

The Soviets were lucky the Finns didn't somehow get their hands on an IS-2 or something... God only knows how they'd Improve it.

The Finnish meme tank makes Spookston laugh Fun fact: Because Girls Und Panzer Der Film had the BT-42 scene, a very dedicated fan decided to visit the last surviving BT-42 and played the Kantele instrument while in cosplay and sitting on the tank, later on, hearing that the Parola armored museum had trouble getting funds to build a roof over the historical tanks to preserve them, she begged her father to donate a substantial amount to the museum for the funds, and because of this they managed to get enough funds to build the roofs over the tanks, and in the museum, the tour guide will actually mention the anime by name, and the story about the loyal fan.

Seeing spookston having genuine fun brings me immense joy

5:50 there’s an annoying feature that doesn’t seem to happen every time, but if you leave a game early if during that round you finish research on a modification any extra research that would normally be able to be put towards other modifications is instead lost to the cosmos

Day 80 of asking Spookston to play the concept 3, it is a very fast and fun light tank that is pretty good even though it only gets solid shot

He has summoned the Finnish population

I feel like whenever spookston flinches, that's basically his crew getting shell shocked for a second

Didn't the heat shell for this thing have a fuse that wasn't set correctly or something? If I recall correctly it was not effective against tanks at all

Let’s have a moment to appreciate how good Spookston’s videos are and how hard he works on them👏👏👏

Love spookston videos, the BT-42 is so goofy. Video 28 of asking spookston to play the AML-90. Good luck with the surgery btw whenever it is.

12:40 "We've been trying to reach you about your Tank's extended warranty!"

8:08 spookston was so flabbergasted that this hit didn't kill that his mouth spawned a black hole which started consuming the whole world like a vacuum

Love how the stuart is impervious solely based on the conversion from one inch to mm going to 3 decimals

The heat shell on this thing makes it totally worth it. Decently fast reload for derp Canon, at such a low BR that the heat show will go through one side and out the other of most vehicles while tearing up everything inside. It's an amazing vehicle that can even be brought up higher tiers

since you're in the mood for silly tanks you should play the ikv72, its as fast as the bt7, it has 20 degrees of gun depression, and neutral traverse, the aphe has a massive 270g of he filler and its ay 1.7, overall very fun td

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. I AM NOT GONNA SURRENDER, BE CLEAR! I A M N O T B A C K I N G O F F! Y O U C A N' T K E E P G E T T I N G A W A Y W I T H I T ! (Day 118)

I've seen this monstrosity with my own eyes at the tank museum in Parola and it's beautiful

Best is that every time you kill someone the crew yells ”maali tuhottu”

Sweden's early tier HE is one od few HE shells that actually normally work most of the time for its tier. Although with HE, Gajin has this wierd thing to makes front plates invunerable to it. Probably for that imaginary balance they claim is realism.

RAAAH FINLAND MENTIONED🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮 You should play jagpanzer cuz its just too good for 4.3 It has good cannon and armor that cant be penned by most tanks in 4.3

As a BT-42 enjoyer, bring majority HEAT shells. You still one shot most things, bring some HE for opentops.

spookston bestowing exactly what I needed while waiting for my flight. Could not have been more perfectly timed.

As a Finnish mix I find this extremely entertaining thanks spookston hope you show more Finnish vehicles in the future 🎉

Sweden is one of my favorite tank lines, some absolutely MEME level tank design ( so of which is amazing ) and access to vehicles from major countries to make the grind a bit easier without it being a massive part of the countries roster.

Good video as always. Good luck on that surgery man, I’ve had 17 done on my back for scoliosis, so I kinda know what you’re going through right now. Hopefully you have a good recovery.

Thanks for uploading my boi we appreciate you!

I'm surprised you didn't know, but yeah, playing any low tier vehicle with low penetration makes you learn to fear the Stuarts, as they have decent armour all around flanking them is often not enough to kill them

great video as always man, loved it!❤️ I gotta recommend the T-V, as people always recommend tanks here

the lighting during the game around 7:38 was so pretty, I haven't seen that before

Congrats on 300k Spookston. So nice to see a niche/underdog (no pun intended) youtuber grow a substantial audience, I respect the hard work and dedication and look forward to the day its 600k. Best of luck in future endevours my friend you deserve naught but the best for the entertainment you've given many people.

I've also noticed something off with the match making. For me, it puts me on the same exact map, with the same capture point arrangement at least three times in a row. After the third game it finally switches to another map.

The SK-105/JaPz.K A2 is a pretty silly light tank too with its 4s reload apfsds (Day 122).

The interesting part is that alongside RBT-5, BT-42(and rumored finnish troop transport) is the only BT-2/5/7 variant vehicle. There are no SPGs, no tank destroyers, no ARVs, no SPAA and (what annoys me the most) no rocket artillery platforms based on BT tanks unlike whole "zoo" of things based on T-26. Imagine BM-13N installed on engine deck of BT-7M? Or BM-8-24 installed on RBT-5 turret that would allow it to retain main gun? In other words things that will allow soviets to get their rocket artillery ability to turn for aiming more easily(even if BT doesn't have neutral steering), have better offroad capability, have at least some armor, retain machinegun and 45mm gun for defense and have high speed for shoot and scoot?

Good work with the vids as always spookston, I look up to you man determined and dedicated to your craft I admire it

Thank you for making amazing videos, im rather sick right now and havent been able to do many things, but i can still watch your videos, so thank you. Funny tank man.

I'm not a huge ground battles fan but you're genuinely so funny and your videos are so entertaining it's tough not to watch your vids for hours

impressive. Most impressive. your ranging skills are legendary

2:56 the uh killed me

@Spookston I now know how you feel playing snow maps as I have been flashbanged by a cooking video for a test.

yay more spookston content

11:40 The turret is, because of the way gaijin modeled it, you got 3 armor plates. The mantlet, which has a same thickness plate under it, and then again behind the tunion following the general shape of the turret.

Spookston is underrated, always a vibe.

Bro respect from me for stacking up the vids before operation 🤝

This video really showcases spooketon’s aiming skills. Shooting those HE shells without a rangefinder

Hey Spooks, Great video, as always. Hopefully we could see you play the Ho-Ri prototype. It does kind of bully at 6.7 and can be surprisingly tanky for something that looks like an Amazon box.

The amount of HEAT in Spook's inventory grows in direct proportion to his hatred of Stuarts.

Yeeees ive been looking foward to this, bt 42 is one of my favorites!

Hi dude, I just want to let you know that ur vids have become a place of comfort for me especially this semester of law school. Keep on uploading man!

FINALLY I’ve been waiting for this day for so long

5:43 This is a bug that has been occuring for quite a while. When you leave a match, play another match and the match you played first finishes while you are in the 2nd match and you finish the last one as well, some RP will get sucked into the void and you will only get the modification you are researching instead of the excess. If you don't have enough RP to fully research that modification though, nothing happens. This bug also only occurs sometimes.

It was most chaotic video of you man

Yay! Another video from my favorite wt cc 😊

man, i love having a panzer four, t-34, sherman, and whatever the hell the swedes are making in one tech tree

Ive been suffering HARD on this game all day and seeing you experiencing the same off the wall shit as me makes me feel less insane. Glad to know its not just me 💀

7:44 I swear I've played Frozen Pass 7-8 times in a row. There's was a point in time I just assumed it was the only low br map for a while.

that shot at 11:13 goes through a tiny hole on the enemy tank, if you slow it down to 0.25 its easier to see. So if anything pretty impressive shot even if it missed XD

That looked equal arts hilariously fun and utterly despair inducing. Kind of like playing a Churchill! That's right, this is vidoe 80 of requesting the Churchill.

Fun fact, 7mm coax can go through the optics and kill the turret crew. It happen to me, it can happen to you too

It's not a spookston video without him being cased

I love the BT-42. Such a goofy little tonk

I just unlocked this tank and was thinking when you would do a video on it.

If Gaijin needed to add a new WWII based scouting vehicle for Germany, might i suggest the 7.5 cm Kanone L/41 auf Zugkraftwagen 5t (AKA, the Pz.Sfl. II) for the job? Or for Cold War vehicles that fill the same role, we have the Spähpanzer Luchs, and even the Spähpanzer SP I.C. could work.

13:54 No Spookston, not for The Greater Good, you take that Cap Point For The Emperor!

Genuinly wholesome to see you let the counter CAS live. He is out here doing the lords work.

The BT-42 always reminds me of the KV-2 (1939)

Always great videos keep it up anyways i have played this tank so much it was so much fun and also you should try the pbv 301 its an aa with a 20mm its so fun

Since he goes on about it every British tank he plays near 7.7, petition for him to finally get want he wants and play the conqueror!

I absolutley love the "bwau" plastic ball sound effect when killing someone with derp tanks, I wish I could add it as a custom sound efect to my actual game

"ive been trying to get a map that isnt frozen pass for 30 mins" it honestly is comical how many maps we have in game and how most people would never know cuz the MM will just latch onto a set of 3-4 maybe 5-6 and that's all you'll ever see unless you get lucky

My experience with Stewarts has always been the same. For some reason they tend to be incredibly hard to kill for no reason.

U know its a good day when spookston uplauds a vid

The stuart has insane armor for some reason, shots bounce, do nothing, or a cosmic entity devours the round before it reaches them.

u could give the japan Ho-Ro a try, it has a giant mortar like howitzer so u can lob shells from cover. also sometimes kills things if the shell just lands near the enemy.

11:14 im pretty sure that went right through that hole in his tank

Probaly one of my favorite irl tanks. Want a little model of one

In the Finnish snow it rolled, the BT-42, A tank of war, with a mission to pursue. Tracks carved through icy lands so vast, Steel behemoth from a wartime past. A hybrid born of tractor and of gun, Fighting battles, under the northern sun. In 1942, its tale was spun, A unique chapter in battles won. With Soviet roots and Finnish design, BT-42 marched, a mechanized feline. Armored prow, a lethal dance, In the theater of war, it took its chance. Cannon's roar, a thunderous song, As the BT-42 moved along. Through winter's grip, in frosty air, A war machine with a fierce glare. Forged in conflict, now a relic rare, The BT-42, a chapter to declare. In the annals of history, it stands with pride, A symbol of courage, where memories abide.

I always like to imagine that spookston will one day post a vid of him playing top tier battles in a low tier tank, even though I know that’s not gonna happen

Spook I visited Minnesota for a week only and even I could hear the north mid-west in you from the first vid I saw lol.

Love the unloved M47 Patton day 78!

Oh so that's where the AT-ST comes from.

Absolutely love your videos😁 Could you please play the Yag-10 milk truck??

Mr. Spookston, you should play the Chieftain (any variant(s) of your choice including the Khalid) attempt #32

Saw your q & a yesterday. Best wishes my man. My mom was diagnosed with lowish grade kidney failure a few years ago and as you probably know there is no cure. She had to stop eating a lot of the foods that she loved and I jumped on the wagon with her! Told her that I would stop eating those foods to! It was far, far harder to quit certain foods than it was to quit smoking years ago! Best of luck Spook!❤

I think Spookston would have fun playing the M2A2

I've been playing this thing uptiered for like 4 days now and the best advice I can give for it: play it like you're in Girls Und Panzer. Never stop moving. Also don't use the HE.

dude that turret looks like the one from an AT-ST from Star Wars

about to say 1 video where spookston doesn't get bombed until the very end. Without fail.

The BT-42 is the low tier equivalent to the FV4005. both having cobbled together turrets with oversized guns and a full sized backdoor. when one cannot spam enough HE

I remember nuking a tiny Ka-Mi that was floating in a river with a heat shell. That turret flew so high

On map rotation. Word on the streets is there is a server side rotation (per BR bracket) that switches every 20 or so minutes. Supposedly it's to discourage folks from just j-ing out on maps they don't like because they'll likely just end up in a different instance of the same exact map anyway. But this is why you see the same map at least twice in a row on the regular now days. Personally I think this is dumb, but that's the word I'm hearing.

The Challenger Black Knight is also quite silly, may be fun to play in a video one day

This is a certified Perkele moment

I have this theory about maps and how they are picked, now this is all just speculation and I'm almost certainly wrong, but I feel like maybe the servers select a few maps (like 4-6) and then makes all the games take place on those maps for like an hour, and so if the maps selected are mostly ones that show up in high or low tier, then when you play the opposite it has to serve up the same map over and over.

When are you gonna make a video on the CV90-105 and CV90-120?

Would love to see an interesting soviet tank destroyer get showcased, like the SU-100P. Great pen for br, only thing is it is open topped (day 85)

Rare to see a video of Spookston not getting CAS'd at every pre five minutes of the each game!

Dunno what tank to request today so I'll just wish you a good day Spook. (Love your videos by the way)

hi spookston hope ur doing okay just wanted to ask if u would play the ke ni its actually really good its like a locust but with no armour and a lower br
