SPOOKSTON GAMING!!!

Well, you know how Italian cuisine is.

m22 in my walls

meetbowl

is it this or the R3

Casually are the Italian ones lol

Not this past update. Though the update before hand. They added probably one of the worst AAs to America.

(impossible)

If it was for me, every spaa should be like pantsir. Op. Fuck cas. Go to play air battles if you want to have easy life with planes. Let tankers farm their vehicles.

It's not even that strong. Just skill issue if you die from it. You can literally kill it with 7.92 so if you don't see it that's on you

I happily take that gaijin pls

Gaijin: What's that? more SPAA that are better at destroying tanks than planes? coming right up.

Why would a version of 40mm Bofors without ballistic computer and programmator have HE-VT? I doubt such ammo exists for barebones de facto WWII era Bofors gun.

@@TheArklyte HE-VT works regardless of the gun having a fcs or not. as he-vt is just a he round with a small doppler radar fuze instead of a inpact or timer fuze. litte history, this tech first came about in old large naval guns at the end of ww2

@@TheArklyteHEVT technology was developed and put into service during WWII by the US navy and anti air crews in Britain.

I mean the whole can be killed with a light mg from the front is a pretty BIG downside. It's like if the asu57 was the size of the maus

Good thing almost every tank in the game can kill it with the spacebar then. Also extremely weak to aircraft, a single pass is usually enough to kill it.

overpressure. But yeah, even the r3 isn't as op as this.

@@samadams2203 The whole game is mostly about one or two shots. Armor is the least useful stat in the game. Its not World of Tanks where armor actually matters (that doesnt make it the better game, dont get me wrong).

​@tigerbesteverything The R3 used to be as op as this. It had a full stabilizer at 3.7 when it first released and its ammo could've front penned t-34s

Real physical pilots don't wanna die. That's the difference.

From what I have seen this is how it is in real life too. Destroying AA tends to be the first thing air forces do.

It’s much better as an spaa as it can’t be strafed but yeah it should be 4.7 tbh

you mean same way sidam 25 is higher in br than gepard and one br jump lower than ItPsV 90?

Told him several times but didn't go anywhere so I stopped.

YES YES

I bet he keeps trying and getting strafed by planes nonstop.

Its funny cuz the TD at 3.7 has the exact same cannon and pen. Just 8 rounds though. (Extremely good at the br)

50 years ahead to be precise...

It’s also a leopard hull, so besides the turret your pretty well armored

​@@holmanthehorror6127 4/5 crew can be killed by a 7.62 so the hulls armor is irrelivant.

Same as the Phong Kong, but people don’t complain about that one

@@txcgladiator4030 The Phong Kong sits at a higher BR and doesn't travel as fast, not to mention the hull is a lot easier to penetrate while also having guns with less fire rate.

Meanwhile kugelblitz nerfed to oblivion few times XD - change the weird overheat mechanic (well it's alright tbh) -changed magazine value (2nd update to this) - moved to tier V with higher br (and coelian turn to tier 4) (3rd time update) - mk108 get pen nerfed but still in tier V (back then it could pen up to 96 mm armor) (last update, but idk if its over)

Not just any snail. It's THE snail.

Puma needs to be 5.0 tbh

​​@@Ohfiveeightteennah it needs to be 12.0 its to strong at 3.3

I took it to top tier, got 3 kills, 2 of them were MBTs. I hadn't laughed that hard in a while.

With PUMA at 6.7? 3 kills on average.

@@Alexein455 I said 5.0 not 6.3 you lobotomite

Yeah I was kind of curious if people just don't care about the AMX that literally performs the exact same when it comes to the gun

Wondering the same thing. It's a decent bit slower at 18hp/t but still fast enough, also has continuous fire but the AP belt has 3 AP 1 HE round instead of full AP.

Nah everyone has to kneejerk complain about new thing overpowered. Is this thing good? Yeah. Are there similar vehicles at lower BRs? Yeah... You would get extremely similar results with the Phong Kong as well, at the same BR(the leo is better, for a variety of small reasons, but they are very similar).

​@prestongarvey6858 The Amx-13 DCA is far slower than the leopard. Doesn't have a built in singularity on the front plate. Then also basically isn't almost a stabilized gun like the leopards.

You mean the ammo that protects the crew? You get shot and you blow up. It also doesn't have good reverse speed which is important to get in and out of firing positions.

Gaijin on their way to add another rank 5-6 spaa instead

T249 vigilante when

The leo 40 70 is not a good spaa tho, it's a good td

T100 when?

Just learn how to aim the 40mm

Yes, the Celere Sahariano is really good as well!

Ik it sounds weird but aim for the base or the very tip of the turret, shooing the middle won’t do much for some reason

Or the T77 (M24 Chaffee with a sextuple .50 cal. turret). Either way, US mains will be happy that the US tech tree has a new low-tier AA.

Give this man his Semovente 75/46 M43!

Jesus bump it this guy is insane!

This is weird

​@@fraservickers1257bump for the m43

Although Gajin will probably never fix it. Because fixing it will be too much work.

@@aiedenoldstien9751 odds are they'll put it up in BR a bit, and/or nerf the Bofors pen across all platforms. Kinda like they did with the Wirble and Ostwind

@@rhystaylor851 The Wirbel and Ostwinds use different cannons. I don't think the wireless ever had a lot of pen. I know the Ostwinds did. Either way Gajin is probably gonna just slap all of it.

The skink cant be killed frontaly by a 7.62.

@@robertharris6092 Ahh, yes, the Cherry Picking fallacy... You can't kill the AEC AA or Crusader AA MKII with 30cals either, and they are below the Leptard. Skink can't rush around and delete everything either. Vested interest in abusing it, me thinks. Same low rent argument style when the R3 was in vogue and German 20mms used HVAP like they were all MK108 30mm's.

@@lector-dogmatixsicarii1537 the r3 cant be frontaly penned by 7.62. And survivability is one of the biggest factors into what BR a tank gets. Either way. spookston here is both cherry picking his videos as well as is a well above average player. Which a tank is balanced around the average player. Not the outstanding player.

This is how war thunder teaches us about history

They take away stuff like the Panther II for being paper tanks, and then put a chassis designed in 1954 at 5.0

Gajin has literaly said multiplle times that the date a tank was built has no baring on its BR.

It's broken until people start carrying a few rounds of HE like they are told to repeatedly by basically anyone on youtube lmao

Use spacebar.

@@This_is_a_burnerI carry he every game problem is it’s never loaded first

​@@This_is_a_burnergee golly gee whizz I sure hope I don't get shot 50 times by the 1970s AA while I spend six seconds swapping over to HE in my Sherman

Why are you shooting the hull when 4/5 crew can be killed with a 7.62?

if only you wouldnt get uptiered constantly

@@jonhg92Now you get constant 4.7 games I have a 4.3 lineup (ussr) and never get higher than 4.7

@@jonhg92 UP TIERS ARE THEFT

Yeah, was about to say, if this thing is so supposedly "OP", why is the DCA-40 at 4.3 bothering nobody? I honestly believe that it's a case of the people playing it, not the tank itself.

@@no-legjohnny3691 Dude, the AMX-13 DCA 40 compared to this thing is like saying some village kid with a musket is equal to a fully trained soldier outfitted with a modern rifle. It's not even a contest. The leopard is so fast it outruns turret rotation all over the BR. AMX-13 DCA is much slower than a leopard 1, and the gun handling is way worse due to the insanely bouncy AMX-13 suspension. Oh, and by the way, both of them can be killed by coaxial MGs, except the AMX loses so much speed when turning and accelerates so slowly that turret traverse is usually capable of keeping up with it, unlike this thing.

Otomatic became obsolete long time ago

@@stevenortiz9008 On release and for several months afterwards it was OP.

and how many years ago were those months ? Clown.@@thisguyyyyyyy2723

You saw 4 crew out in the open. That. An be killed with a 7.62. And thought. "I should shoot the hull."?

@@robertharris6092 no i did not see the turret, i only saw the hull through a bush

As a swedish main the swedish one absolutely dominates in downstairs. And if you are ever against a panzer four, they don't even stand a chance

@@Savanttian I fully agree. When I went down to 2.7 to spade everything I rushed through, those spaa were the greatest fun

Whats funny is people will complain about the gun when it was literaly built in 1936. (and was written to be the worst AA gun in the US arsenal in wwii)

@@robertharris6092 The 1936 L60 gun is not this post op L70 on a modern field carriage. My boozer in statistics, you do understand the doctrine for using Bofors meant every gun with firing line fired on the target, right? This is why there is so much ammo expended per kill, because this is a fully automatic gun with ammo that comes in clips you simply run through the entirety of on principle, and you don't want a plane or some dinghy fucking your boat up in the middle of nowhere watery abyss. tl;dr Highest kill scoring AA weapon of all time by a large margin*

​@@Savanttianthat's Swedish 2.7 vehicle is pure cancer during events.

Gaijin, also on its way to nerfing US tanks again for the 69th time this year: **stack of forum bans and bad faith arguments on their desk**

It can still penetrate the side of a Tiger 2, so I call bullshit, as I have used the BTR to shit on them. You just want to abuse it. Copy pasta vanilla R3 logic.

"This vehicle is so OP a new vehicle needs to be added to counter it" And "This vehicle is so OP players need to be specially trained to counter it"

@GeraltofRivia22 its not that op. First of all you have to get to the side of most opponets to kill them. You have no armor. And most people in this video were absolutely braindead and had no proper map positioning. The m18 gmc is literally better in every way including mobility. Are you going to start complaining about that now too? And players need to be more aware. The vehicles not that op.

@GeraltofRivia22 "LeOPaRd 40/70 Op, Me sUPeR AnGY, pls move up" -average tunnel visioned warthunder player, ignoring the fact that the m18 gmc is basically better than it in every way and can kill targets frontally unlike the leopard 40/70

Here buddy lets compare the m18 gmc to the """"op"""" leopard 40/70. Lets start with the leopard! Leopard 40/70 has no armor to stop anything besides machine gun fire, but just enough to set off every aphe round in game, meaning 0 survivability. On top of this it can be easily overpressured by he, and both gunner and loader can be easily machinegunned, not just by 50 cals since part of them are exposed. Ammo can be set off by 50 cals even from a longer range. Gun has up to 90mm of pen, which drastically decreases from even small ranges and has awful angled pen performance. The round is to small to reliably break gun barrels on larger tanks unless you directly hit the muzzle, meaning that the enemy has to be aiming at you. Which is bad. But it is automatic with a short reload. Its only plus. Oh almost forgot it has almost 0 gun depression since its an aa vehicle. So using hills and slopes is just a bad idea. Its top speed is 66 km forward, 26km reverse with mediocre acceleration. Now the m18! Top speed:81 km forward, 26 km reverse with great acceleration. Already its significantly faster and has the same reverse speed. Has armor thats thick enough to stop 50 cals unless point blank, and a lot of aphe rounds will go through without detonating. It also has a much lower profile than the leopard, making it much harder to spot.(you can also cover it in bushes, making it nearly impossible to spot) its even better at flanking than the 40/,70 since its faster and has a much lower profile. Has apcbc with 149mm of pen, and great angled performance, meaning all tanks except for an angled tiger can be penned frontally and one shot killed (disabled if panther since youll have to aim for the mantlet) if you dont play it like Your supposed to and dont flank for some reason. Its mobile enough to where you can relocate your position to a new spot if noticed. And its reload speed is decent. Winner: m18 gmc.
