The Most American Tank Ever Made 

Dont get me wrong, I always loved your content, but the recent videos with the little edits and live commentary are awesome, I could watch you all day.

Another added benefit to having rockets is the ability to blind whatever you are shooting at

The reason they moved the radio antenna on the Calliope is that the backblast of the rockets (which they don’t seem to have in the game) would melt it off if it was still in its regular place right behind the launcher.

Ah yes, the ultimate sentry upgrade

I think the first time I encountered this thing was in CoH1. Even when they nerfed it by disabling its main gun, it was still one of the most broken units in the game. Good times.

8:20 Weird that in my gameplay encountering enemy Calliope. 99% of my allies who encounter it doesn’t target the rockets. Above. Ever.

This is hands down pound for pound the most laughs per match tank I have!

the reason you killed the churchill 7's so easily is probably because the roof of the turret is only 20mm so you could overpressure it with the rockets explosion.

I picked up the Calliope recently and I'm not very good with it yet, but it is hilarious when you're bombarding someone with rockets and they visibly panic and blindly try to fire back

7:44 if you're having problems killing Churchills, try to shoot at the little boxes on the sides of the engine, they have 5mm of armor so you can pen them with the MG or rockets

This and the Pershing with rockets are two of my favorites, even if the Pershing is super slow.

That roof on the churchill VII has been bugged for a while. Its 20mm but at an extreme angle. However it seems alot of shells ignore that angle and go through anyway

I love how they clearly made this thing, then decided that one rocket rack wasn't enough and slapped two smaller ones on the underside.

I love how calm you are all the time and when you say "what" to some strange Gaijin magic trick. I had one of those moments too when I shot a DF105 (~30mm armor) with my Centurion Mk10 (~300mm penetration), I hit the DF in the front left track and some how the only damage I did was making the optics orange.

0:47 Absolutely Genius. If I get a Calliope: I’ll be sure to make a giant X with the “1” decals. Then just to be safe I’ll put the STOP sign decoration in the middle.

I like how this thing kinda supposed to be an artilley piece, just with a sherman underneath it, in warthunder its a shwrman with a shotgun

I gotta say, the way you make your videos now is extremely good and a lot of fun to watch

Love these recent gameplay videos like this, good fun and a great watch. Funny but tasteful

I've gotten a decent handful of the premium vehicles just for how quirky they are in play style. The calliope was one of the ones that I would never get specifically because it was too much money, but after rolling the two week box more times than I know I got it. Now it is literally my most used vehicle. You learn to live by the RNG of if the rockets will explode from a random hit. 90% of the time it doesn't make sense because they'll blow up because of an aphe shell exploding on your armor that doesn't even penetrate. The stupidest one is probably when it goes through the track or the side skirt without even entering the tank but because it's enough armor to detonate the aphe it will blow up and there is one single piece of fragment will blow up the entire rocket rack. The other strange thing is when it hits the top of the turret and it doesn't penetrate enough to hurt the crew but that shrapnel blows up the rocket rack. I think it's coded in a way so that it believes the rocket racks tubing is outside armor, so if any part of the shell penetrates in terms of the game's logic now there's no armor on the tubing of the rockets so it has a complete straight line to the ammo. So from the outside there's two separate armor parts, but in terms of inside it thinks that everything inside the tank and the rockets are in the same space which essentially means fragmentation can warp up to that.

Ive Been watching your videos for a few weeks now, and i love the content. Your videos have made me enjoy getting back into the game more and trying out different tanks. That decal has been secured. If i buy things in the future youll be who im supporting.

Bought the decal as soon as you showed it, love you spookston! Keep making these great videos.

Love your videos. Entertaining to watch without any stress when you get knocked out. Keep 'em coming.

I'm really enjoy these types of videos. Great job as always

I'm just so entertained by your content! I love it!! And how the heck are you having such good runs, I wish I was at your level

Also spookston you can actually use those rockets to shatter armor I don't know if it's actually coated into the game or not but I noticed that if I shoot an Abrams with those rockets in the front of it if I keep nailing it I might actually overpressure it due to the amount of explosions happening all at once it's kind of interesting actually hard to do and pull off but seeing and being the one doing it is kind of interesting

I love your gameplay videos. They're laid back.

I love the edits so much makes the videos a lot more funny and entertaining please keep this up

I’m loving the live commentary videos !

You see Spookston the Avenger is highly resistant to HE because the Churchill tanks took all their HE vulnerabilities on themselves. I am not even kidding, the majority of time my Churchhills die is because of HE. I think every optic on the tank is counted as an internal component so any HE shrapnel that hits them applies over pressure damage to the crew through the armour. Also it will almost always die to bombs that land in front of it but if they land behind it the tank may survive.

The way you're doing your new videos are very good, i legit am hooked to ur content.

I love the new style of your videos!

Im loving these new short commentary videos

All of those little edits are so good, keep going

My experience with the Calliope is that players would usually always shoot the launcher without ammoracking me, making this thing much more survivable than a normal Sherman. Though since the launcher overlaps the turret on the small hud top down image, I killed myself a few times by shooting an oranged gun that blew up because all I saw was the launcher above it intact

i love this form of wt gameplay, a little bit of meme with a little bit of commentary go a long way

The audio and meme edits are what make these videos so fun to watch.

Loving the videos! Heres hoping we could see some Churchill VII gameplay

Love the content it’s always good watching you thanks 🙏 for the vids ❤

I like these kinda videos Keep making em

Designers: how much weapons do you want USA: YES

i love the engineer reference that spookston does, after watching a lot of spookston, please dont stop with content creation its too good thanks spookston

Loving the new format

This video is top shelf!

Hey I love seeing the shout out to the The Gregson Street Guillotine. Really unexpected but I appreciate that she be fondly remember for all the trucks she ate.

As always love the edits on these gameplay videos, genuinely make me cackle sometimes. Since you did the Calliope, do the T99 M26 next!!

Bro you got me with that ASU I was laughing so hard

Great intro, good choice on the M8 position.

That bit with the Witch from L4D2 with the KV-2 was genius editing!

Thanks for making a video about the calliOPe! keep making this funny videos

Love the halo 3 odst music at the end of your videos

This looks soo fun! I need to get this tank!

Nice video as always, can you perhaps take a look at the Ab 43? It's a pretty fun vehicle

I love the edits

been looking at this for my 4.7 line, its such a pricey premium though. you should try the C2A1 its just the leopard 1A5 but you get mexas which makes stock heat-fs much worse for your opponents though

That Halo Reach dialogue at 2:07 makes me want to go back and play it again. Damn you, Spookston

I love this type of videos! They’re amazing. Please can you play with the Katyusha?

Your videos keep getting better and better. 😂😂

love that stuH is spitting flames like WRC car.

We need more of this tank in our lives

The enthusiasm, the cutscenes, the cute dog reaction, nice vid.

my man's got all the right memes, I hope he uses them more often

8:50 sPONGEbob guiding the ghost ship in the narrow ravene : "your good, your good, your goood, your goood"

I remember when I was fairly new to the game, I was playing with a panther on the Sweden map when I turned a corner and got immediately greeted by a Caliope who started firing all of its rockets point blank. Has to be the scariest moment I've had in this game.

Such a fun video

i never thought i'd see the 11foot8 bridge in a spookston video but here we are

About the weight, Spook. The "tubes" were plywood. The T40 (and others) added armored tubes/box launchers. The entire battery going off over your head should not have necessarily destroyed the tank. They (114mm Holy Moses rockets) weren't top attack missiles and the TC's hatch is sealed when rockets are carried. Support three companies of these with a couple platoons of Skinkdozers and you've got an awesome shock artillery battalion. 700 rockets in about twenty seconds. Sure, they're not 15cm rockets, but German rocket AFVs (Stuka zu fuss, like the Maultier based panzerwerfer42) don't have 75mm cannon and 51mm of sloped front plate.

8:54 lmao my bus goes underneath that, I'm waiting for the day.

Once the holiday sale hits I’m immediately getting your decal

I own this thing and yea those rocket kills are so satisfying. Gotta say that IL-2 kill nearly made me die of laughter XD Try the Katyusha truck next, get a silly theme going XD

i watched one of these smack a doorway on stalingrad back in like 2015 and blow up

"don't look at me I'm not the one that shot you" proceeds to vaporize a Churchill

good to see spook's becoming a fellow sherman simp. the cult awaits you.

Try the BT-42. BT chassis but with a britsh ww1 era 114 mm howitzer

I think this is the best time we have seen spookston have in a long time. Have you tried spamming between the enemy spawn and objective right after a match starts? One of my favorite ways to get kills.

It's been a while since I played the Sherman Calliope but they used to go on top of the rockets and it was so hard to aim your gun, especially in simulator battles. It would still put you on top of the rockets.

"Most American tank" M46 T99:

That's a smooth advertisement of a decal lol

You should play the jumbo 76 please also love your vids

I saw a ton of these tanks this weekend playing as Germany with a friend that’s new to the game. Brings a tear to my eye to still see the 60 rockets of freedom in a match.

Cali is a lot of fun. I very rarely die to getting my rockets ammo racked, they probably get me killed more often by giving away my position. The big thing they help with is armored targets like KV's, churchills, and ARL's. Plus they kick up a ton of dust so I have more than once used them to lay down a psudo-smoke screen

On the m26 you can maneuver the turret in such a way where the rocket pods will move independently from the gun, the rockets are directly mechanically tied to the gun.

Your description of the Calliope at the beginning of the video perfectly describes it's effectiveness in the Endless War series.

Love that Halo Reach artillery voice over 😂

When I got my M4, I saw this in a game and got spooked

I decided to play arcade for the tasks yesterday. And I ran into a party of them. I still have PTSD from the full volume gameplay

Have you made a video on the U-SH? It’s a rocket machine gun and I hate fighting it so much Should be a fun video.

I love rocket kills. The HVARs are also great. I love their accuracy.

9:20 witch sound when you spot the KV-2 got me 🤣🤣🤣

The meme edits like the 500kg bomb one are choice

'if u cant kill ur enemy demoralize them' - the rockets on the caliope

Hi, you could do video about char 25t, I just research it and it is such an underrated vehicle. That new APHE, low profile, decent speed and really good reverse speed makes it in my opinion very good machine. Have a fine day sir

When I first started playing warthunder I got a test drive for it on about week 2

Gotta say rockets vs airplanes is great stuff. Your a pro

I think im just dense but when I clcik of the Decal affiliate link it brings me to the snail store and I dont know where to go from there. Enjoyed the video, love the live commentary. Whish that tank wasn't so pricey

Spookston looking at dead ASU: "A souvenir!"

I have a huge crush on the Caliope and that plane kill with rockets was borderline pornograhpy. I've never seen anyone do that before.

Man the calliope really does highlight just how weak the churchill's roof is to overpressure. I thought it was descent at first since I was using soviet 152mm soviet cannons with HE but now I figured it even dies to the sherman 105 hitting the roof. Big cannons in close quarters tends to be a big no no for the Churchill. That and CAS with pretty much any kind of secondary weapon or cannon can just ruin its day.

Great vid. I plan on getting this tank. Could you do the SU100Y?

You should play the Lorraine TD whatever it is at 1.3. Most fun tiny little thing ever, and it's got really good pen on that gun.

The SU-122 might be worth making a video on, it's a little broken right now at 2.3 even if it's not the best on paper. Long reload aside, the HE one shots 19/20 tanks you see any the 45mm armor on all sides can bounce most 37s, some 50s and the earlier 75mm guns. Plus, it's a t-34 chassis so it's fast as all hell...
