Dumb Tanks That Should Be Added To War Thunder III 

suprised you havent mentioned the fv4005 stage one, essentially the fv4005 but open and with an "autoloader" that could get its firerate up to 6rpm, which is much better than the 2~ the stage two has. i feel it could be a really funny tank to see, preferably a premium

I didn’t know I needed it in my life, but now I want a Sabre .50 on a tank.

The „Trilateraler Versuchsträger Panther“ fits perfectly in this category. It would fit perfectly in top tier Germany with the PARS 3! By the way I love this kind of video.

>wake up >day ruined >see Spooky upload >day un-ruined Thanks man, your videos always make my day :)

This made my day and these tanks should all be added Edit: why does this have so many likes?

I'm just here for the ACL-1 gameplay. It always makes me smile to see a "montage" of Spookston doing very well in tanks that I'm terrible with.

They're not exactly "dumb", but I'd like to see more of the American oscillating turret designs. The T69 has a remaining prototype, and the T57 and T58 heavy concepts apparently had turrets built and mounted. They're just so weird and goofy, but the concept of a 6-round 155mm is just exciting.

Oh I got a silly tank for you spooky boy. the Irish, ( yes irish ) 106mm recoilless rifle comet. So its a comet ( like british 5.7 cruiser tank ) but remove the turret and add a 106 (105mm) recoilless rifle into the turret ring hole. The reason they done this was because Ireland ran out of 17pdr ammunition but had some 106mm rifles and ammo to spare and slapped them on the comet chasis. What br this would go in? Tbh im not sure its got good armament but its open top maybe 5.7/6.0, id like to hear you cover this wierd contraption.

I'd like to see the Pizarro IFV, It could be an interesting addition.

I'd quite like to see the scorpion, scimitar and sabre in the UK tree. i doubt the 76mm on the scorpion would be doing too much damage though

Here's a vehicle to talk about: The Type 4 Ho-To, an SPG that uses the Ha-Go chassis with a 120mm howitzer installed in an open-top casemate fashion. It can use AP, HE, HEAT, and Shrapnel rounds.

I would like to see a BT-42.

The Sherman from Yugoslavia with the 122mm gun and t34 engine would be cool to see in game

Switzerland had some interesting indigenous tank designes, have you looked at those? (Nahkampfkanone 1&2, Panzer 58, 61 and 68 and probably more)

The VTS1 would be quite interesting IMO. Its literally a german AGS

The MT LB but with a ZU 23-2 on top. Or a Ural truck with a ZU 23-2 in the back as a higher tier Gaz AAA.

There is an interesting vehicle that I would like to see, it would work like a SPG, it's a cuban T-34-85 hull with an open top M-46 (130mm) or D-30 (122mm) gun

The M24 Chaffee you mentioned got me to think of the M41 DK-1. An upgraded M41 Walker Bulldog in service in Denmark. It was upgraded to include external laser rangefinder and thermal imaging equipment. It would probably end up in the Swedish tech tree.

The btr class of ifv should be added

Not sure if bt42 has already been mentioned but it would be a fun and fast tank with 4½ inch British howitzer.

To be honest, I kinda like the look of the NM-116. Something about a Chaffee with that kind of turret and gun is aesthetically pleasing to me.

id personally love to see the M113 with the D-30 in game, idk exacly which country made it. but it seems like a fun addition

I'm still hoping for AMX-ELC

I actually got happy when you mentioned the NM-116, cause not alot people know about it. Definetly something Gaijin should add

I feel that the type 4 Ha-To would dumb and hilarious to see in-game considering it’s a 30cm mortar mounted on effectively an armoured tractor

Honestly these kinds of videos are the reason I'm subscribed

How about the SO-122? It’s a Yugoslavian Sherman hull, but through some kind of forbidden back magic they managed to cram what was basically the IS-3’s gun into it. And you thought the M-51 was ridiculous.

As a dumb vehicule that I would love to see would be a Soviet BA-64 scout car with a PTRS or a PTRD at rank 1. I would also love to see a British universal carrier with a Boys AT rifle at rank 1 again. Also the ultimate meme vehicule, a Willys MB jeep with a M20 recoilless rifle.

Heres some Suggestion form Yugoslavia : T-34/85B ( Feature new road wheels, First Generation of French Autoloaders, also american M2 Browning 50. Cal on top) M3A3 Pak 40 ( M3A3 Stuart with Pak 40 mount on him 3 of em were converted) M18/T-55 ( an Experimental Bosnian tank from Yugoslav war, Puting M18 turret on T-55 Chassie and Feature new cannon that can fire modern HeatFs) T-55H (Serbian T-55 with Side skirt on turret and hull) OS-122 ( Soviet 122mm gun mounted on Sherman Chassie with T-34 engine) Vozilo A/Type A( Experimental Yugoslavia T-34 with improved 85mm cannon with German muzzle break, exampt DT-29 inside tank there are 2 MG-42s and on top Ameitcan M2 Browning 50.call) OS-75(or 57) (French Souma S35 upgraded with British 6 pounder gun)

I think the X1A series tanks would be cool. They are the Brazilian modernized M3 Stuart's. Or some Mexican vehicles like the modernized M8 greyhound with a 20 mm auto-cannon or the DN-V bufalo which kind of looks like a ratel but with the same turret that's on the M8 HMC. I would imagine that they'd have to be event vehicles though.

Heres one that I really want, mostly because I love comets. the FV4401 Contentious. Basically its a British SPG where they took a comet hull, cut the roof off, stuck in an autoloaded L7 (or 20 pounder, it was tested with both) in a fixed position, and gave it adjustable suspension. Basically a british 103 with only 2 crew members and an open top

I'm so glad to se the nm-116 in a video, I really hope it would get added, would definitely make me play Sweden

nice! its cool learning about weird tanks

I would love to see the Ka-To as Japanese event vehicle or premium. It's basically a beefed up Na-To with a 105mm gun.

A really weird tank would be the type 65 light tank of the ROCA. The tank itself isn't particularly weird as it is a copy of the M41A3. What is weird is that this tank had a laser rangefinder,, computer ballistics control, and add-on amour package. It would later become the M41D as the add-on armour was removed, the engine was changed, and the gun got modified. It would be a lot like the german version of the M41 in the tech tree (firing HEATFS) but with a laser rangefinder and a bit more armour.

I would love to see the Chinese 105mm conversion of the M10 feature in one of your future videos.

French Panhard 201 ancestor to the EBR. it was a WW2 armored car whith the 8 wheels including the inner metal one who could be retracted like on the EBR. it also have a osciliatory turret in the flavour of the french WW2 level, which include a 25mm. a large order was made but no mass production could had took place. the prototype was tested and had impressive capacity. it was send to affrica where it was hidden and lost (rumor said it was burried in the marrocain desert)

Just a list of wacky tanks that could make your lists (all of them are very much real and can hurt you or your feelings): CCL X1 Pioeiro, Brazilian M5 Stuart with a French low pressure 90mm HEAT lobbing baguette Object 775, Soviet missile pancake tank armed with a 125mm rifled (for some reason) bore, fired an ATGM and a SAM Object 757, same tank but on a modified T-10M hull, plans were made to mount a 160mm or the same 125mm as the tank above ATGM launchers Panzer V/IV, German Panther D with a Panzer IV H turret T88, American M18 hellcat with a T12 (similar to the M3) 105mm howitzer M45/T26E2 Pershing, American M26 Pershing with an M3 105mm howitzer UDES 19, Swedish "light tank" with an elevated 105 or 120mm gun, prototype based on a Marder IFV chassis Object 701 (IS-4 prototype tank), Soviet heavy tank based on IS-2 chassis with increased armor, redesigned turret and hull M18-T55, Bosnian abomination of a T55 hull and M18 turret T-29, Soviet medium tank and clearly not a baby T35 armed with the same L-10 76mm main gun Spähpanzer SP I.C, If its not obvious enough, its German. Light recon tank armed with a 90mm HEAT dispenser, carried only 18 rounds (LOL) Object 277 and 278, Soviet fast heavy tanks armed with the same 130mm as yours truly, 277 had an 850 horsepower diesel engine while 278 had a 1000 hp gas turbine (not very wack but I have a personal bias towards it) M113 recoilless rifle, American M113 APC with a 105mm recoilless rifle And thats rly it, all the wacky tanks I had pics of in my phone, some are odd, some are dumb, some are kinda normal but not popular

The CCL X1 series fits in so much in the dumb tank designs. It's a Brazilan modification of the M2 stuart. It mounted a 90mm D-921 low pressure gun and had a double axis stablizer

Spookston un-spooking my day

A tank i think would work would be the T1 heavy for the us, maybe 3.0 to 3.7. The US doesn’t really need a heavy, but it would be fun

I've said this before, but the Pz.1 Breda would be a neat little funny vehicle for either the German or Italian tree, probably as an early-event reward. Wouldn't sit much higher than the Flakpanzer I or the A.S.42, if at all.

I think that Polish Pre war - late 30 tank series would fit nicely to the theme. Especially the TP 25 with 40mm clip "pom-pom" gun concept.

Love the video! I have two tanks I want too see on a similar note to the AVRE, and I don't know if there was a video on it but what about the M728 CEV M60? Has a 165mm cannon, the other one though while I can't find much info on it, there's a 105 Sherman made for demolition, that had 1 105 gun and 2 self propelled rocket launchers.

I'd love to see the Panhard 201. It has the punchy 25mm like the a.m.d. the speed of an e.b.r, and would probably be the best armored-armored car for tier if added.

B78 GSR, a japanese prototype tank-destroyer made by Komatsu. The B78 was an IFV fairly similar to the italian Dardo, while the GSR was a tank-destroyer version with a 105mm gun in an unmanned turret. The GSR would be similar to the TCM AGS present in-game, thought it would not have thermal sights and maybe no APFSDS shells. Very few information exists about this vehicle, so Gaijin would have to make up a lot of things about the tank. Still, could be a great addition to Japan, BR would vary according to how Gaijin plans to add it, minimum perhaps at 7.7/8.0.

I love these keep the work up but can we submit clips for you to showcase while you talk

The SO-122, a Yugoslav Partisan modification of a Sherman, to mount the 122mm gun of an IS-2.

The only reason i started researching the Swedish tech tree was for the hope that one day, gayjin would add teh Norwegian NM116.

Love the video hope you do more please!!!!!!!!!!

One that I'm not sure would actually be useful but definitely ticks the "dumb" box is the 1K17 Szhatie. It's a 2S19 Msta-S self-propelled gun with the howitzer replaced by a battery of LASERS. Its purpose is to blind the optics on missiles, though you could hypothetically use it on aircraft too (though it should be noted that using a laser to blind somebody is a war crime). If you've got somebody spamming ATGMs from a gunship into your spawn, spawn one of these and shoot the missiles down, then fire at their cockpit and get a "pilot kill" by blinding them.

Don't know if you already mentioned them, but I'd like to see some of the US wheeled LAV vehicles. Like the LAV-300, LAV-600 and the LAV-105.

The M103A2, it was an upgrade of the M103 that fitted the vehicle with the 750 hp diesel engine of the M60, had it's M15 rangefinder replaced with a M24 rangefinder, removed one of the coaxial .30 cal mgs, had an electric turret traverse system, added a turret basket, and had a M14 ballistic computer installed in it. (I just put this here because the M103 is my favorite tank.)

I knew somebody should have suggested to use VT shells for defense of ground troops on the move! Though I thought they would opt for rockets to "deliver" them.

The T-44 tank that was disguised as a Tiger 1 for movies! Imagine that in war thunder.

I live in Norway and the fist tank i ever saw in person was the m24 with the mods you spoke of.

Hey Spookston could you do a video showcasing the strengths and weaknesses of some of the new vehicles?

On a spook video when a ad says “video will play after ad” I say yes,yes it does

the T13 B3 Belgian tank destroyer as a rank 1 french premium or event vechicle, it would be a unique and honsetly kinda funny vehicle to add

Very nice video, I found the SPAAs to be the most interesting this time around (although the French EVEN was also interesting, if hampered by similar developments already existing in game) I have given my suggestions in the preceding video's comments, so for the sake of brevity I won't repeat them here.

Yay. New Spock Toons upload '-'

The skink, a Canadian Self propelled Anti Aircraft gun based on the m4 Sherman. Only 3 were made and was actually deployed into combat towards the end of WWII before being cancelled shortly after

You should start a series about fake tanks that could actually work.

Stridsvagn fm/30 L-30 is an interesting Swedish tank that is a convertible and can convert into an armord car by lowering some wheels mounted on the side for more speed but if it needs more traction it can raise the wheels and use the tracks

I've wanted the NM116 in the game for years. Never heard about the M3 coax though? Pretty sure it was a more or less regular M2 .50

Maybe the M-V-YOH? pretty famous vehicle around a certain tank game

Fun fact!!! Every Norwegian produced/modified tank has a fish carved on the breach.

AMX-13 retrofitted by Venezuela. Main gun removed and replaced by 6 recoilless gun like an Ontos + a mortar.

Because I want more us aa, I would recommend looking into t52 mgmc with two 50cal and one 40 bofers or t36 with 2 bofers.

3:01 Fun fact: If I’m not mistaken, these were originally going to be refitted to be imperial tanks for the empire strike, before Mr Lucas decided on the infamous AT-ATs instead.

As a event or real thing adding jeeps, or like Humvees armed with 50 Cal's. Lots of countries have had varying armored vehcials or infantry fighting vehicles think it'd be neat

I'd love to see more amphibious tanks

imagine porting the NM116 straight from Wargame: drive for five minutes, run out of fuel, and hope the match doesn't end before you can refuel.

fv4401 contentious, a British S-Tank style vehicle based on a comet tank chasis with a 20 pounder or 105mm L7 gun. It also had extremely strange armour, being a mix of spaced armour filled with the tanks fuel which apparently was very effective, having an effective thickness of around 400mm RHA when full of fuel. It had only two crew, both with dual controls, so it could work with only 1 crew member.

longer rounds, and obscure concept tanks

love the vid👍

The M41 DK1. Ecentially a heavily modified M41 Bulldog. It has a turbocharged diesel engine, the gun is the same but with APFSDS, laser rangefinder and thermal sight.

I recommend the Ho-To which is a Ho-Ro cannon strapped to a Type-95 Hago chasis. It was an experimental tank and a derpy looking one too, i wold imagine that when it were to shoot it would launch the tank about 5 to 6 feet from its position.

Great idea to add more fun vehicules to Fr tech tree

I'd love to see you talk about M4A3E8 at some point.

How about the Chilean M-60 Sherman? A Sherman with the 60mm HVG found in the AUBL HVG. It fires APFSDS rounds. Good for maybe 7.3 Israeli tree.

The Pz 1c with its 7.92 at rifle would be a good meme at low tier, same as the Pz2 luchs and PZ2j being funn silly additions to low tier.

Swedish Strv fm/31 convertible wheeled and tracked light tank, it was tested in parallel with the Strv m/31 which was already have ingame. in overall, his performence on track was not as good as the m/31 but the wheeled performence was better. the armour was thinner but they share the same turret. it was capable to switch from wheel to track by itself whithout need of proper preparation. it was pretty capable but it unreliable. it was the last Swedish convertible tank they built as far i know.

I forget if you’ve covered this or not, but I’d really like to hear your opinions on the T15E1 Demolition Sherman.

When i first read about the NM-116 I was like... Damn i need this! It wasn't all about budget though... The NM-116 was great on the harsh norwegian terrain, where heavier MBT-s of the time would've failed. Would be an amazing addition T69 too... aww man... i just sooo want it!

The SABIEX HIFV is a really interesting vehicle, it basically takes an OF-40 hull, converts it to an APC and then places a BMP-3 turret on it.

the ELC program was nuts, with 3 companies providing each a bid, and with a fair few variants considered, of which the variants built were: ELC EVEN: 6x 105mm RR - French ontos 2x 120mm RR -as seen on video 1x90mm Mecar - in oscillating turret, because France 2x30mm HS.825 - same turret design as above, but one gun on each side and lots of brrt, low aa capabilities due to limited elevation missiles - fitted with a launcher turret that could mount either 4x SS-11 ATGM, or 2x SS-12 anti ship missiles, not sure it it was still MCLOS or SACLOS, but i seem to remember that the turret used was compatible Harpoon (upgrade that gave SACLOS guidance to the SS-11) ELC AMX-Hotchkiss: -1x90mm TC901 - fires fin stabilised rounds, traverse limited to 90° on each side -1x90mm TC902 - same as above, modified turret design -1x90mm TC903 - fires the obus G, otherwise same as above -1x90mm TC904 - see above -1x30mm HS.831 - only one gun but unrestricted elevation and rotation (gun mount was prototyped in 1959, unsure it turret was completed and mounted on chassis) -bis 1x90mm TC904 - new chassis chenillette Lorraine: -5t 6x105mm RR - single man tankette, same armaments as the first EVEN unrealised propositions: -AMX ELC 105: 105mm SP howitzer on ELC chassis (same gun that was mounted on the SPH version of the AMX-13) -Lorraine biplace: same conception as the 5t, but lengthened to fit a dedicated driver

The dutch pantserwagen m39 and the DAF YP-408 PWAT are pretty funny xD

Since they've added a lot of armored cars, I'd really like to see a technical with a tow missile. Meme vehicles are my favorite. No pressure to do great.

The Cuban BTR that has the T-54/55 turret.

What about the T-72M2 Moderna? It’s a Czech T-72 with an 30mm Auto cannon.

The T22 would be interesting to add. Most AAs rely on HMGs, Autocannons, or missiles. While the YaG-10 and Flak 37 are SPAAs IRL, the lack of VT fuze rounds make them unusable in game for an AA role. Seeing an AA that relies on a cannon would be interesting.

I dunno if youve mentioned this before, but an American AA piece, the MIM 46 Mauler. Essentially it was the predecessor to the chaparral but it was more advanced than the chaparral.

How about the Draco? It's the successor to the OTOMATIC, and actually entered service with a similar OTO Melara 76mm autocannon, but on a B1 Centauro chassis instead of an OF-40 chassis. It would be dumb and probably cancer, but Italy's top tier lineup deserves it tbh.

I don't exactly classify this as stupid but the Finnish BT-42, it would be fun and good addition to the Swedish tech tree. if you could talk about it in some video i would be very happy. BTW love your videos❤❤

‘Green Mace’. From what I can gather, it is a South African tank destroyer which has either 8 or 6 wheels. That’s about all I know about it.

On the NM-116. There is a late and early variant that can be added. So one in the Tech tree and one Prem tree. Some suggestion for the Swedish tree: Danish: M41Dk1. M113A2 Mk I DK. Norwegian: NM-142 is an anti-tank variant of M113. Finnish: XA-361-AMOS

I’ve actually seen the Norwegian modified M24 irl!

The 4 recoilles rifles oohh it would be such a menace i love it

Hey spookston you could also try looking up the FMC M113 FSV I think it can still hold up to 7.3
