The British (or technically Canadian) Skink anti-air vehicle has been heavily requested by the War Thunder community for as long as I can remember. Gaijin did finally add it, but despite being a solid SPAA, practically no one plays it.

@SHEEPS_123 Год назад

the skink is the most terrifying anti air i see in battle, mostly because it has a roof

@michaelbeale559 Год назад

Yeah. The Crusader AA with the twin 20mm is the same way. Just enough armor to stop cannons most the time so people come into strafe you and it's free kills.

@slowlydying6967 Год назад

I tend to use the Bosvark because everyone dives on it to get their free kill, and if I don't suck that day they get obliterated by twin 23mm with 4x the explosive filler as the skink

I think the biggest issue for the skink is the BR. British 5.0-6.0 is a bit barren and a lot of players don't want to play with only one vehicle being the highest in their lineup. Once you get above 6.0 there's just better options to use. It was more usable at 4.7

Oh, it deals with planes very well, but people tend to go for other options that match the BR of their lineup like the bosvark, etc. My point being that you'd see it a lot more if it was 4.7

@MaliciousGrim05 11 месяцев назад

@@l.h.9747what makes it irrelevant is that the 5.0 br doesn't mesh well with the other tanks at the same stage of the British tank tree. The other vehicles in line with Skink are around 6.0-6.3 br, while most of the tanks just above it are around 4.7. So it's kind of stuck between being too high of a tier for the rest of your lineup, or being under tiered by a whole 1.0 br for the rest of your lineup. Really doesn't help that the Bosvark is just better in practically all aspects besides armor, is researched before the Skink, and .3 br lower.

Skink got added a bit too late amidst a whole lot of new SPAA for the UK tree which is why people mainly wanted it. UK was absolutely stuffed for SPAA options with both crusader AAs either being outright bad or just falling off really fast. Even adding Ystervark didn't help much because that thing is less protected than a milk truck and has insanely gimped aiming angles. So yeah, people wanted it in the UK tree specifically to provide at least some levity. And personally I use it a lot, though Bosvark might overtake that.

Last BR patch and the refusal to listen to any feedback that might make British Aircraft even slightly better proves that.

T77 = M16 with 2 more 50 cals, so meh, 50 cals are only decent around the M16 br, 4.0+ and they are pretty bad, the M16 with 4 50 cals is 2.7, so it would sit at 3.3 - 3.7, definitely does not fill in the Skink gap. T100 MGMC doesn't exist, I am guessing you mean T10E1? Still doesn't change anything, has the same cannons as the Skink, but it only has 2 of them, so it is basically a US Crusader AA at 3.7, although still worse because it is completely open top and a half track because it is on the same chassis as the M16.

@t_maxem Год назад

@Spookston I think a part of the issue with the Skink and it's effectiveness has to do with the fact that it's high explosive shells are fragmentation based shells. They're HEF-I (if I remember correctly) so they aren't normal HE shells in the belt, meaning that the damage the shells do to anything is basically totally fudging randomized due to the fact that War Thunder makes fragment-based damage shells work off of something called "real shatter" of the shells. Real Shatter, at least from my understanding of it while screwing around in the damage protection analysis menu makes the number and direction of the fragments of every single shell that impacts a vehicle completely randomized and usually doesn't take into account the explosion from the explosive filler of the shell in the vehicle damage (at least for anything below 30mm in size).

Tbh, I was begging for the skink, but not to be put in the British tree. The US tree really needs a good spaa after the m16 because the m19 and m42 suck ass as aa and I was hoping the skink could be put in the US tree. It's a great spaa and I use it in my britian lineups but it really doesn't offer much more than the crusader aa that comes before it besides 2 extra guns and a bit more armor.

@Mark-es7bn Год назад

I agree! Like you say it’s just an up armored up gunned crusader aa, it won’t make much difference.

@awacsrazgriz967 Год назад

Id love to see you play the m56 Scorpion next, glorified glass cannon go kart with hesh is fun

@LordGangrel Год назад

It's a great SPAA, it's a shame it was almost instantly moved to 5.0, it fitted perfectly with the Firefly and Avenger. Now you need to uptier it by a lot to get a decent lineup.

@CaptainBogroll Год назад

People wanted it because Britain had no AA between the crusader and the falcon Then they added it at 4.7 it was perfect for the British WW2 lineup - then they made it 5.0 which ruined it entirely, then they added the Bosvark almost immediately after so everyone uses that instead

@skorpysk Год назад

you have to understand the focus and the meta of the game and the gaming community of back then to understand why we wanted it so much but now things are different, it's been like 4 years since the big hype

@SuperCookieGaming_ Год назад

i wanted it in the US tree because there is nothing that is useful. the m19 is terrible in my experience and the m16 is just a halftrack so its low br. the sink was suppose to be a good mid br spaa but it is too high for what it is

@rockdragon3 Год назад

i mean it was played the first week it was introduced because it was 4.7 and actually fit into a lineup, and then the German mains cried because their puma spam was being obliterated and the new VK's couldn't outright ignore it flanking them so it was obviously overpowered and needed to be uptiered to 5.0, and being the ONLY 5.0, and also on the upper edge of british lineups because theres only a sinlge 5.3 and a single 5.7 tank, theres literally only 1 BR range to play it at now. it needs to be 4.7 again or even 4.3, its nothing more than an up armored whirbelwind.

@tjac_20 Год назад

i could play the skink yet, bcuz i dont play britian, but what i can say as an enemy plane of the skink, i dont like them😐

@entireanarchy2293 Год назад

I find it kinda funny Germany was out here naming their vehicles after large cats and then Canada shows up naming their shit after a type of lizard who's larges species is basically a potato. Edit to add: I also don't get why people thought this would be an American vehicle, it's made by Canada, you know, the country that's still part of the British Commonwealth.

@reiujifumo1970 Год назад

I think you should show the rest of us what TRUE low-tier Britain is like (

@ivancsontos7011 Год назад

skink wouldve been a great addition before south african vehicles were added and the only option was the crusader aa mk 1 and 2, one of which had a poopoo 40mm and the other had a low magazine, 2 gun 20mm, but now that the ystervark is here its not needed (the bosvark is kinda meh, wouldve preffered they add the MLRS version instead for the memes)

@searaider3340 Год назад

Skink is one of the best additions to the game imo. Finally, we got a AA vehicle for the mid-tier British tech tree, it's a huge improvement compared to Crusader AA. It lacks armour-piercing capabilities but against the planes, it's a monster and you feel safe under fire. Btw Skink looks very good and futuristic.

@Caius122CC Год назад

I believe that people (including me) who have wanted the skink in WT have already grinded to top tier, or have stopped playing the game and gone outside, but I was happy to see it, but I will probably use it when I can play the game for fun. Good video btw👍

@dodgy1779 Год назад

To be frank, it is nice to have something armored for once, unlike most other AA until like 9.0

@finder2342 Год назад

Hey spookston I saw this railgun tank called the emkv90 tor and it is from the game battlefield 2042.

@mateimarian1937 Год назад

3:50 how the hell is not having basic god damn fire extinguishers that 90% of tanks come with from the factory MY FAULT?

@TheUndeadslayer221 Год назад

"Why do people want the skink?" Me, who remembers a certain "Potential History" video: Gee, I wonder why.

@codeplayer8575 Год назад

I mainly don't play the Skink cuz I didn't buy it when I had the chance so now I have to research and buy the Bosvark, which is honestly a joke of a tank.

@theanarchist9733 Год назад

a large number of American tanks let you use the hull mg in war thunder, compared to the other countries, I know the M6A1 does too.

@eannamcnamara9338 Год назад

7:16 first the panther completely ignores you, even though you're literally a free kill, then the other tank a minute later just, drives past. German mains are actually stupid I swear

@michaloskyyy Год назад

i like your voice, watching your vidz is really relaxing

@jackodenthal2392 Год назад

You should do a video about Battletechs tank design. You could use Hairbrained studios PC game Battletech tank models for reference

@summer8746 Год назад

May I suggest looking into italy low-mid tier vehicles for a bit? There might be something worth your time.

@Jaco93 Год назад

They killed it when they moved it to 5.0 there is like no line up and it has less pen than the ystervark which is at 4.3, they shouldve left it at 4.7 where you have one of the few good british line ups

@bubby9175 Год назад

There are so many vehicles I want to ask spookston to play I think I’m just gonna stop and say hey spookston play every vehicle in war thunder plz

@n1co2017 Год назад

you mean most over tiered vehicle it’s cool and as a canadian i am happy to see it in game but when it was introduced it’s br was already a bit high and then they raised it even more. right now my favourite british spaa that i would probably use over this is the crusader aa mk2

@ImmortalSugimoto792 Год назад

Mr. Spookston, in honor of it coming out of retirement can you play the T-62M-1 at top tier?

@majorpark Год назад

People probs didn't play it since they wanted it in the US tree

@hqwefg Год назад

People like it, its BR is just too high. That would kill any vehicle no matter the hype.

@thesoulfury4591 Год назад

Day 2 of asking for video on the A.C.1

@jacobv6505 Год назад

honestly i love the skink because every time i take out a bosvark or yestervark i get strafed to death but the skink can withstand most machine gun fire and last longer

@toxicmuggle5788 Год назад

I think more people would be playing it if it werent moved to 5.0 after a week(Not enough time to evaluate its Br change) despite other more broken vehicles staying at the same Br for years

@lyeonsupply1075 Год назад

Can you play the British top tier premium Challenger ds and the lighting f.53

@honkhonk8009 Год назад

Skink shouldv been added to America. America has literally no fucking AA's to speak of. Britain has so many better AA's.

@Spookston Год назад

I'd prefer the T77 MGMC

@Karter_Blackpaw Год назад

Spookston, no Quad Cannon meme lines from C&C Generals? For shame!

@FirstDagger Год назад

It was overhyped because US players thought it would be for their tech tree.

@hungryhedgehog4201 Год назад

Well it got added too late pretty much. It's also a backfill spaa so most people arent gonna go back and grind it, it also pales a bit in comparison to an aa from the 60s that is at a lower battlerating for some reason.
