The Artillery King Of Low Tier Tanks 

New decal has been approved, get the current one while you can!

The allies in ww2: "We need a tank to destroy submarines" The British: "Say less"

*low tier surrounds Spookston* “All I am surrounded by is fear and dead men”

Pro-tip, the hedgehog mortars are pre-set to a range of exactly 190m, you can't change it but if you're able to get your ranges down perfectly, they become useful 👍

The hedgehog is the only real artillery tank ingame. You can't tell me otherwise.

12:26 - LOL! They might not be effective but they sure are funni.

As an Enlisted player i dread the day the Hedgehog is going to be added (For those who don't know, Enlisted and WT use the same engine and all tanks used in the former are imported straight to the latter). Serouusly, 90% of stuff that is useless in WT is busted in Enlisted simply because you have squishy infantry to shoot at

Watching a highly skilled player go into low tier and decimate the new players will never stop being funny to me.

Fun Fact! The Matilda hedgehog is one of the only vehicles to get the 2pdr HE round, which is extremely useful against open top vehicles despite only being a 40mm

One Matilda II variant that could to the game is one that was fitted with a 6-pdr gun in the turret of the Cromwell. Most likely it would be a premium.

>gets 17 kills and two caps >loses low tier is very special

I love how Spookston just has my entire Spotify playlist in his videos from Halo to Dusk

Another thrilling video of "Am I going to be CAS'd or not?"

8:11 Is when he finally gets a hedgehog kill

Day 128 of asking Spookston to play the IS-2 (1944)

This is what makes low tier fun, every single player doesn't give a damn about their own survival. There are enemy tanks having a party and you are inviting yourself to it if they like it or not.

Yunno I've never seen you play the Conqueror yet, would love to see your take on it since it's such a niche vehicle that only works when the matchmaker feels like it

Don't underestimate the 2 pounder. FunFact: Mid war a Czech designer in Britain made a squeeze bore barrel Adaptor for the 2 pounder called the "Littlejohn". It squeezed the round into a smaller shape and increased it's velocity. The 2 pounder with this adaptor had better ballistics in everyway than a 6 pounder sabot. A few other nations also copied the idea but the idea really never took off outside a couple of guns due to the extra mechanics required in maintenance.

The smoke isn't there to save his tank, it's there to annoy you after you kill him. XD

i love that gayjin knows killing with the hedgehog launcher is so rare it doesnt even list the name of the ammo... its just 'hedgehog projectile'

Every time spookston fires the mine launcher I hear "GO GO GADGET ROCKET!" in my head

I've found this thing to be very good at creeping barrages when going to a contested cap zone

1:04 Keepers of the Gate? Nice! Love DUSK

The Matilda has gotta be my most favourite tank (That i can afford to repair) to use and its great to see you do so well in it :D You might like the Alecto 1 (Its one of the only low tier british things that doesnt use solid shot)

You know what else is an artillery? A Katyusha, you should play it

Fun seeing this little gem played. One of its upsides is that it is an event vehicle, so it can actually be used to grind most ground based events, and it doesn't cost too many GJC.

Dear god, just imagine a British Matilda, with an American 57mm gun, and a better reverse gear.. that would be terrifying.. (Yes, I know there's a soviet matilda, but still).

1:18 is astonishingly reviewbrah in nature

Respect for Dusk OST. BTW early swedes with APDS rounds are... Interesting.

I love the sound effects that he puts in his videos it makes them 10 times more hilarious when I hear that funk sound or something that sounds like I can't describe

2:35 one of the most hilariously parts😂😂

The first round is how I imagine the one competent Italian tank crew felt when they somehow lost the battle after carrying an entire armor regiment.

5:00 the Zrinyi II and both of the Italian M43 tank destroyers actually have decent armor

Spookston is one of the only youtuber that doesn't beg for subscribers which makes him very enjoyable to watch!!

That victory announcement was brought to you by AWACS Longcaster. Dig in to a tasty burger

The funny thing, the hedgehog rocket flies around ~250m, it's very useful to use it on caps, because the cap shows you exactly the distance you're from it.

can we see a video with Spookston using the KV-2 but with the G-530 round? it has almost as much HE filler as the HE round, and it still overpressures things even if you dont pen.

This tank is peak Spookston. Specifically the Hedgehog. Like your personality fits this tank. You would be it's voice actor in a cars-like movie.

You should try the r3t106, it’s small light has 2 guns and it’s quite quick, right up your alley…. I think

My favorite part of the Matilda Hedgehog is once you fire the rockets the launcher is incredible armor. Everyone just fires at it making them an easier kill.

Day 119 of asking spookston to play the 15cm sIG

Remembering the time I got on thundershow for a double hedgehog rocket kill

Spookston loves the T18 so much, make him play the AEC Mk2 Im playing it in 6.3 alongside the Strikemaster and im getting endless top of the team matches. Top shelf gremlin.

12:13 My favourite british end of the game voice line is "Ok chaps, put the kettle on!"

I don’t know any specific locations you can sit, but if I remember correctly the Matilda’s mortars hit 210m in front of you, assuming you are on flat ground. I might be wrong, but that’s what I remember it hittting at

“Oh I’m surrounded” Proceeds to destroy the enemy completely

No artillery of any sort can match the British conqueror in power……. Also I got that thing from the event and only used its whole special thing only a few times.

4:33 there's the reason I have a button bound for resetting the sight range back to zero

It would be pretty cool to see spook play the Strv 103-0/A/C :)

Bro British engineers finding inspiration for a forward gear is also the turtle.

The background music brought back memories of ''command conquers and generals'', Nice video.

the matilda is the epitome of "my gun sucks but you can't kill me"

apparently Spookston didn't get the memo that they gave APHE to vehicles with the 2-pounder

The hedgehog and the rarely seen Valentine XI are my favorite tanks to roll out when I'm feeling bummed about hightier

"I'm not a fan of 2v1 scenarios" Spookston in the first match fighting half of the enemy team at the same time and still winning:

"Dig in" is indeed entrenching, but more something the poor old infantry would do, as opposed to sitting in a pretty much indestructible box

1:02 "All I am surrounded by is fear and dead men"-Spookston and some crippled asthmatic

spookston, another british, or british tech tree vehicle at least. its been soo long and its soo needed

It almost LITERALLY is just the Anti-Submarine Projector, simply given a no. 152 fuze from a mark 3 mortar to allow it to be triggered on impact, along with less tubes and a few other slight modifications

Hey! At 12:15 you talk about "Dig in"! Wanted to say that in russian sometimes you can hear "Ставьте чайник" which is translated as "Put the kettle on". So, USSR and russians drink tea after the game.

British tanks aren’t supposed to fight other tanks. They are called inventory tanks for a reason they are slow inventory, catch up with them to hide behind them undercover

Spookston: I am not a fan of 2v1 scenarios Also Spookston: Massacring the entire enemy team

"I am surrounded", starts shooting in every direction killing everything in view.

I appreciate the use of the Dusk soundtrack during the first fight of the video.

Watching Spookston is like reading a Garfield comic.

Your use of sound effects is on point. And fart noises will always be funny.

Day 12 You should play a tank with hydropneumatic suspension (recommend the MBT-70) But the catch is you have to drop the suspension as low as it can go for the whole match.

I just had the weirdest youtube bug ever. I clicked this video and it pulled up this video, had the description, spookstons channel and everything but it was playing an oddbawz video lol. I was like, wait a min

Hitting a plane's bomb doesn't actually seem to do damage lately, I think you just nailed his fuel-tank directly.

The german crews also say strange things at the end like "Now we can close the bag!" - Sounds wierd for me as german

I have to praise whoever the editor for this one was, very good.

2:50 i find it surprisingly easy to use the 40mm gun for anti air, no not smth like a bofors. I’m talking about about the British 2 pdr or smaller caliber guns of tanks

If you liked the leopard 40/70 Britain has a 40mm at alower teir, it's called the crusader AA mk II

I think that turtle in the intro was faster than the reverse speed of british tanks lol

Spookston can you try out the Valentine XI? Its an early capstone that is often bypassed for more XP tree progression but it's absurd for it's tier firing a round that can pen most anything of its teir but not be penned with proper angling or obfuscation of the "pls dont shoot me" areas A 10/10 learning tank for heavy vehicles

Challenge suggestion for you: You and Oddbawz go into a battle and try to go through the entire match with your towcables attached to each other. I saw another youtuber messing around with this and it was very funny.

"Commander: Objective achieved, Dig in" (Entrench in the position.) Spooks: But I'm not hungry. lol

Wow that was a spectacular sight. Getting 17 kills and loosing is mindnumbing.

Spookston must be taking lessons from oddbawz with his plane snipes

"usually italian tank destroyers are so eazy to kill..." said spookston while shooting at a zriyni II

I definitely didn't expect Dusk music for that little bit at the beginning 10/10

on the topic of low tier british tanks, the valentine MK. XI is at the same BR as the matilda and can absolutely bully everything with a 75.

Ah, the Matilda. Such a fun tank, so long as you're facing anything at its tier or lower.

Love spook being confounded by a Zrinyi II

"Sir we're surrounded!" Matilda: Good, then it is an even fight

“Enemy column in that direction” “Roger, removing that direction”

Spookston : « I m not a fan of 2v1 scenario » Spookston at the beginning :* killing 10 tanks in a matter of seconds*

That aircraft shot was insane.

"Dig in" means "dig a campsite" so it's quite literal, as in "dig in for the night."

Thank you for liking my comment asking you to play the M3 GMC Spookston. I hope you do eventually play it because, if used correctly, it causes absolute havoc up to 4.7 even pushing 5.0 at times and that for someone much less skilled then you such as myself

I believe the mortars are sighted in at 330m or close to that on flat ground. 😅

The thing that frustrates me about the hedgehog is that most of its limitations are basically just down to Gaijin being lazy, and most of its issues could be fixed while making it closer to its historical implementation. IRL the launcher position was hydraulically controlled which meant that the range could be adjusted from a minimum of ~50 yards up to a max of 200 yards (the range its locked to in game). Additionally when not in use the launcher could be lowered into its housing, which allowed the turret a free 360 degrees of rotation and allowed the main gun to fire at normal elevations to the rear of the tank, albeit with slightly less depression. The launcher and housing were constructed from armoured plate in a dual layer arrangement (armouring both the launcher and the housing) and rated proof against .30 cal ball ammunition, which means it shouldn't get trashed by MG fire like it does in game. The launcher was not proof against larger rounds such as 20mm and 37mm AP; however it was found that even when penetrated the bombs tended to burn rather than detonate and the risk to the vehicle was not significant. Even when an explosive charge was detonated on a full bomb rack in testing, which blasted the whole apparatus off the back of the vehicle, it was assessed that the blast would not have been lethal to the crew, and the test vehicle was able to be driven off under its own power, So the launcher being a free kill ammo rack is also off base. In a final quirk of Gaijin being Gaijin they did (to their credit) fix the bug where even empty the launcher could be detonated like a full ammo rack, however they seem to have changed the originally implemented correct VFX and sounds (a loud bang and recoil followed by the launched projectile) with the VFX and sounds for a rocket, which is incorrect as the Hedgehog bomb is a spigot mortar and should not have a jet of flame coming out the back.

Heya spooker Ive recommended this in the past but if you could make a video on the Ikv 103 with 400mm of pen at 4.0 that would be a pretty fire video not going to lie Great content as always ❤

Hey spookston, funny little fact, i just checked out the stats for this Matilda and it seems that you can fire the mortars up to a range of 190 meters, but there is elevation when you point your canon barrel up, so you can shorten the travel distance by elevating the whole mortar rack

the APHE on the matilda makes it like 10x more fun to play

I can INSTANTLY tell this wasnt edited by spookston.

Spooks: "Oh God, I'm surrounded." Me: "may God rest their souls"

the trick with this tank is: go for an spot you know you can sit more then a few seconds there. shoot 1 rocket and mess the range between you and the impact. engage enemies with the main gun and if you see that someone gets near the impact place of the first rocket or after range finding the enemy is at the needed range you can also engage with the hedgehogs. in the end its pure luck if you manage to kill someone with it. its even worse then the nebelwerfer truck like the panzerwerfer 42/maultier. dont know the name in this game

AMX-10RC, a freakish wheeled vehicle that can do a neutral turn. And has fun adjustable suspension.

Love when spookston talks abt how brutally he wants to hurt someone (in game)
