The King Tiger Really Suffers :( 

Hey everyone, this is a little difficult to write but things aren't going great on my end. You might've seen my twitter post joking about having food poisoning, turns out it wasn't food poisoning. My kidney function has deteriorated enough to the point where my blood is slightly acidic, which makes me extremely nauseous and tired pretty much constantly. I got prescriptions to try and make it more tolerable but they don't help much. I've been struggling to get any work done, so I've had to dig into the stockpile I've been building up for when I am recovering from a transplant. I hope I can push through it, but IDK. That's part of why the historical video is taking so long. Just thought I would give you guys an update. I might scale back how much editing I put into these, just to bring the stockpile back up. Would you guys be ok with that?

“A defensive tiger is scary” *immediately proceeds to play offensively*

I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a downtier in the Tiger 2. I used to make the mistake of playing WAY too aggressively with it and getting slapped by someone lmao

I find it funny that in your last match, the AML-90 you summoned at the beginning was the one that got credit for you J'ing out at the very end. He really was the only one to actually damage you huh.

Whenever Spookston goes "Ooh, hello" when spotting an enemy, I like to imagine he's at an pastry shop/isle and spots something very tasty looking

It feels weird when spookston plays quite common vehicles

Shout out to that nashorn being an actual teammate and sticking together with somone.

I remember when tanks first came out and both tiger 2s were almost impenetrable unless you were shooting it’s side, and even then it wasn’t easy. Oh how times have changed on warthunder.

4:50 He says "Marsch, Marsch". Basically "onward" or "faster" an instruction by the commander to continue forward or increase the speed.

Hey there Spookston I hope you get well. Also: at 4:48 the crew said Marsch, Marsch which is a command to march forward/advance and is the germaan crew line for "Advance!"

btw the german voice line at 4:48 said "marsch, marsch" which pretty much means "march, march" as in "go forward"

Yeah this tank is definitely nice to use, and having such a good cannon is so satisfying. I bought this tank's package maybe a month ago and i spent about two weeks or so using it to grind the tree so i could get to the maus. I went from no progress to tier V in that two or three weeks. (obviously the premium time from the bundle also helped), but it also showed me just what i was missing with premiums. IT'S ACTUALLY NUTS. This was the first premium i had ever bought and i had no clue they were THAT effective for grinding.

Can't believe you had to play this tank, I'm sorry for your suffering :(

I remember a few months back, I was in a King Tiger with three other squad mates (friends) and we were stuck and couldn't push the enemy back so I singlehandedly, decided to push all by myself, and this scared the enemy as now they decided to concentrate fire on just me which encouraged my team to push them and take the point, my friends and I were laughing all the way until the game ended and won

0:09 even in here I can see the master face

Getting to fight Tiger IIs every match as a stock M56 really tested me but glad I didn't have to suffer as much as spookston just did right now

Here's hoping that you feel better Spookston, the WT community wouldn't be the same without you. Also, could you do a video on the Sturer Emil? While most just see it as a CAS magnet, the 128mm gun is just a blast to use.

Personally the Tiger II is a mixed bag, whenever I play it I always go up against HEAT slingers or when it's the least convenient times. Still a great all-rounder heavy tank.

Wish you a speedy recovery, man. Your videos have been a solid source of entertainment AND a learning resource for the past... Sheesh, few years? For me !

I heard and i could very well be wrong but the reason the bulldog survived the bomb was because you have invisible spawn protection until you move a bit but i think you can still shoot and have the spawn protection. Good tip for AA

Day 40 of asking Spookston to play the IS-2 (1944)

Spookston updates are the best. As always Spookston please play the AML-90 (day 12 I think)

10:20 lazerpig lore reference 👀

4:50 it’s marsch marsch and means something like a march/ marching

Keep fighting spookston, we love your content but always want you to put yourself first ❤

Asking Spookston to play the Csaba, day 13 🙏🗿

i hope everything works out great for you, your videos are up there with the best in terms of information and humor, wish you the best. On another note, tried out the tiger 105 and panther 2 lineup, with the 50mm 262 as cas. that lineup is absolutely brutal, the tiger 105 gets a super fast long range rangefirnder, easy to aim gun with 250mm aphe oneshot king, and an upgraded engine with 900hp. It recently also got a buff to its reload, and you can get it down to 13 seconds, thats just brutal, test it out if you have the time or energy, again hope it works out for you :D

Nice video! Your memes and quips are getting better with time.

Thankfully the tiger 2 didnt perform as good in ww2 as it does in war thunder. Also m2a2 would be fun to watch :)

At 4:48 the commander says "Marsch Marsch" translating to "march march" , basically saying move forward (for anyone wondering)

I love the reference’s to Halo with the flood’s music when you are concerned with a threat at 11:08

5:05 'Im now assigning you to cook a duty'

Day 93 of asking spookston to play the Is-4m

Don't worry about us, just focus on what's important aka your health. We'll still be here when you get back

I was trying to grind the Tiger 2 H and then tried even faster when I saw the new BR changes but paused for a while once the update dropped because I was slightly burnout from my German 5.7-6.3lineups and wasn't too sure how it'd be with the update then I decided to to continue grinding Britain (SUFFERING). But I think you have actually inspired me to continue grinding for more *GERMAN WUNDERWAFFE!* so thanks, we all hope you get better very soon though Spookston!

4:49, he said: "Marsch, Marsch!" Which u can translate to "Go, Go!"

7:22 you didn't hold repair key for long enough, you can tell by the track marker behind the repair timer.

While I’ve always in my mind preferred the thought of a stronger turret than hull. Since you always have to show it to shoot. The tiger 2 has always reminded me just how nice a reliable and strong hull is, sure the turret face isn’t all that but it’s small enough and isn’t weak. It helps that the long 88 is amazing too.

4:53 He actualy sayed "Marsch, Marsch". it means something like "go, go"

I love the little “hi” in your videos spookston

I hope you get better Spookston, also I'm gonna say, your videos make me laugh with what you do with the editing, I sometimes rage so much on War Thunder and feel like I don't get much out of my battles that I should honestly watch your videos more to calm myself down before continuing on. Keep up the great videos.

4:58 I think he said "Marsch, marsch!" Or "Panzer marsch!" which either means "go!" or "let's go!" or "tank go!"

7:19 it only fixed your tracks because if your tracks get destroyed, it will automatically start repairing it without having to press anything, but only the tracks so the reason your canon didn’t get fix because you didn’t press the repair button (I hope you get well though.❤)

The T-14 genuinely does use a "further modification" of the Sla.16 engine

This is exactly where I stopped in the German tech tree because I never have fun playing these things. They're just little firecrackers because of the ammo storage in the turret. I have a lot of fun getting my heavy tank kills for tasks off of them though

Sorry to hear about your health Spookston. Much love, wishing you the best for the future

hoping you feel better mr. spookston sir, my vehicle suggestion for you though is the is4m, i got it recently and almost all my matches were downtiers, thing is just devastating for the enemy's o7

Saw your comment about your health, wish u all the best man. Your wellbeing has priority over everything else. Take all the time you need, I know what it's like to be in such pain. Wish u all the best! Still I would like to leave this here: Video/Attempt 150 at asking Spookston to do a video on the XM-803 don't understand me wrong tho, I'm not trying to pressure u... It's just become a bit of a habit of mine to leave this request on every single one of your vids since I started :) Again, take your time, maybe even take a break from youtube. Wish you all the best :)

The intro is too true even when you are in an m18

Imagine just unlocking this (or even the Porsche variant), starting up your first match only to be greeted with a full uptier vs an IS-3, IS-4M, or, heaven forbid, an IS-6

12:09 "Fahrer, schnell!" (Driver, fast!") Driver: it will be done, my lord

4:55 the commander called out "Marsch, marsch!", which is the callout for full engine power.

I ran into a King Tiger in a Object 122MT MC yesterday. I think the game took pity on that player, too, because the session ended after my opening sabot shot disabled the turret crew *_but_* before my follow-up ATGM finished off the driver.

Day 3 of asking spookston to play warthunder on Xbox

Hi man, your videos are great as always, hope you get well from your condition. Kidney related problems are very worrying.

5:00 the guy said "marsch marsch" which is basically equivalent to the american "floor it"

Take care of yourself Spookston, work isnt worth hurting your health over. Im sure everyone of your subscribers would understand if you need to take a break. Im not very religious, but Im praying for you man. Good luck and best wishes for your health. You the goat bro.

Hey Spookston, I hate to hear that you aren't doing well. Here's hoping you can recover soon and get back to feeling like your old self again. Cheers! Oh and SU-122P or something, I don't know. (re-attempt 14 I guess?)

4:48 I think the guy says Marsch Marsch, or march march when you accelerate. Its basically what people say to hurry someone along. Or used to be its quite outdated.

10:19 Your right to a point. The A853 is bacicly a similar engine to the SLA but it has been modified, including cutting it down from 16 pistons to 12. It’s bacicly a smaller SLA.

you should play the Strv M/42 EH next, it has pretty decent armor, pretty good mobility and a very good APHE round

I wouldn't be surprised if the T14 Armada used a variation of the Tiger 2 Engine though. Considering Russia's track record of underperforming, nonexistent, and/or outright shitty tanks. Although I do wish you a speedy Recovery Spookston. Might not play WT as much as I used to. But it definitely is nice to watch.

The Commander said "Marsch, Marsch", means "Go, Go". And yes, the T14-Armata uses the same Engine like all russian T-xx since the 60`s.

"Now watch this drive" will always make anything funny as a follow up line, especially on that KV

Day 29 of asking spookston to play the ikv 103

the 2H is great in a downtier... it absolutely never happens and usually I face 2-3 IS-3 and IS-6

4:48 the commanders says '' March, march!'' wich basically means ''Go, go!''

4:54 Spoopi Enjoying His Hotel Building on Tracks:

Day 2 of asking for the French jagdpanther the amx-50 Foch

Day 11 of asking Spookston to play Cursed Tank Simulator in ROBLOX

When something damages several external modules like tracks and gun at the same time automatic repair fixes only tracks. To repair anything not mobility specific external you actually need to hold repair button for full repair.

Been so long since i could watch video in 4K without my pc melting. Great video keep up the good work.

Sending good wishes for improvement your way, playing the Sau 40 might help with your condition though Attempt #52

if you didnt know, there was once a homeless woman, she was an old homeless woman addicted to things, begging for money, spookston found that lady, and instead of giving her money he took get into his home and raised her like his own, he actually helped her not be addicted to anything anymore and they found out she was pregnant the whole time, the womans daughter grew up to be taylor swift; yeah, you heard me, so to all the switfies out there, pay your respects to this man

4:48 macht macht" means power power," they say that when going uphill, basically calling out to the driver to drop the gear to get more power.

11:27 This short hurt me as an america main right through the mantlet past the spall sheild and creating an ammo party

the tiger commander basically told the driver "faster faster" or "hurry hurry" is what you heard in german when climbing the hill

At 4:49 the commander says "Marsch Marsch" which is a saying in the german Military for "As fast as possible"

the tank commander says marsch marsch so march march which is basically telling the driver what speed to go

4:49 „Marsch, Marsch“ is like „go, go“ but in an military way

9:51 they are just accepting their fates

this tank is so good, the one thing nobody ever talks about on it is how stable it is, yes its not stabalized but its as close as can be

i like how spookston says to that usa t34 now you have a long time in heaven to look forward too and i immediately said with out hesitating or a long time in hell to look forward too

4:53 He said „Marsch, Marsch“ which translates roughly to „Go, go“

4:50 "Kraftfahrer! Marsch, marsch!" ("Driver! Forward!")

Another funne spookston video, hope your doing better and all the best to you.

4:49 he sayed: „Marsch marsch“, what translates into move move or forward forward

4:50 is "Marsch, Marsch" which more or less means "go, go" given the tank context

4:49 it was marsch marsch meaning something like move move or go go

4:48 He says: " marsch, marsch". Nice Video. ❤

Took me a bit to get the hang of German sloped tanks, but you basically gotta play them like an mbt; hull front, I immediately started being able to survive hits as it seemed any amount of side armor showing was a death sentence

At 4:48, the commander is saying "Marsch, marsch!" which is a short command for ordering the driver to go forwards at the highest speed possible.

Tiger 2 with the SLA 16 is a great premium. I got it to regain my progress I lost when I went from PS4 to PC. Such a fun tank, especially if you play just a little bit patient to ambush those early rushers.

Ive seen the Königstiger IRL in Finland, Its insanely impressive when you are standing beside it. Btw you got that Xenomorph blood now, Kinda cool story for the grandkids

Just now i understood the "Now, watch this drive" reference.

7:24 thank god I'm not the only one with that bug, my friends were calling me insane when I told them that for a couple of times my tank would repair only half of the damage.

4:48 "Marsch Marsch" -> "march march" old german saying for hurry up

4:49 I'm pretty sure it was "mehr Macht" meaning literally "more power" so probably the commander telling the driver "HANS GET THE LEAD OUT"

i usually play the tiger 2 as a mix of both, but mostly defensive mainly because i learned to let people push me when it used to fight british apds slingers

4:50 The Commander gives the command "Marsch, Marsch". Short dir Marschier, which is just 'March' in English. Basically a command to move.
