The Tank That Broke Me 

It's my new favorite spooks moment.

@@SPITFIYAHproductions I lost calm and whizled on this one very moment XD

I dont think the missile directly hit the Am-1 since the wreck was still flying after the kill, more that the splash damage of hitting the ground killed the pilot

the splash killed it, he even shows it on the replay...

@@eurofalke6804 It was overpressure most likely. If you pay close attention you can see some of spook's tank kills were done by overpressure, the metal stream only killed 1-2 crew, while the hull crew died of overpressure.

THE SNAIL!

"OK grandpa let's go back to bed"

It was even slower in real life because in WT the acceleration of ATGM missiles is a bit better and also there is no air resistance to contend with. Also it's Japan, they literally did not fight a war in this era. The worst they got is a few training accidents. There had been some scares in the Cold War but this is literally a weapon which never saw combat.

I looked it up and they are actually that slow in real life...

It is worse irl. Hand guided atgm in game can do stupid maneuverthat will down them irl. For Japan, tpye 64 is not so much we build a capable product but moreso we build something functional and establish the industrial base.

Do you mean the vehicle or the Type 64 missile? Because the answer to both is: Yes. The vehicle has a maximum speed of about 28 mph on roads and the missile flies about a hundred meters per second. For some context, a BGM-71 TOW travels at about 300 meters per-second. But don't worry: Both the vehicle and the missile have been _looooong_ since replaced in JGSDF service, and the missile itself is of the same generation that produced the Malyutka and ENTAC, so it's quite old.

@@willyvereb Actually, for its generation, it's quite similar in performance to other MCLOS missiles in other nations, including French, Soviet and Swiss models. So it's not really a particularly badly made weapon or a standout example of such, it's just more a product of its era, a time when the concept of ATGMs was in its infancy.

Ss.11s are much faster than Type 64 atgms

@@cubicsquare6926 ah I thought they were basically identical, even so, that basically just furthers the issue.

@@TolerablyInterested dude its like this a lot.

@@casematecardinal ik, the mass of inconsistencies and balance questions is somewhat overwhelming.

Amx 13 ss11 should be 7.3 and the amx 13 Hot should go to 7.7, it's not that good at 8.0 really

They get a lot wrong with British vehicles, but not even leaking classified documents is enough to fix it apparently

@@spacemarinesruleall well the documents were for the challie 2

@@commandergeokam2868 And they still didn't change the stats.

Striker and Swingfire use the same missile, don't they? And by mouse aim, they're wire guided IRL.

@@youngthaiarfssoldier8732 swingfire missiles are possibly the most nimble atgms ever made, they could make a 90 degree turn immediately after leaving the launcher

Was thinking that the MLG 360 no-scope move with this thing if you encounter someone close-up would be to brake hard and fire while your front swings downwards from the braking maneuver.

I spaded it too, with positive kd :)

Youre literally a masochist

gaijin is the embodyment of "how do you do fellow kids"

I managed to kill plane with this crap. It felt so good

"cuz they don't play their own game" they do, but only as fully spaded vehicles, with fully trained crews. They have no idea what it's like to be a new player any more, or to have to grind your way through.

Yeah, back then the atgms were fired by the commander. So if you got hit and lost crew, the commander replaced that crewmember. But then the commander counted as dead and couldn't fire the atgms anymore. He also fired the heavy machine gun. And in addition to all of that, it didn't have scouting back then.

The type 75 sph had a bug that if you got set on fire and used fpe youd immediately blow up the ammo

@@loganwalker8537 bruh

@@mikep3180 yup, me and my cousin are traumatised of fire now

@@loganwalker8537 your pfp traumatises me

Seconded (or in this case -- 11th)

"I lost to a paper box , what the hell is wrong with me"

You sound... old?

Btw the fact that you can even KILL with this is impressive

ehh not really. just cant play it like a tank destroyer. play it more like a infantry mortar. where you only take it on select maps (mainly ones with hills that are close to some cover. for example the Wallonia is the best map for this seeing the hills near the big town is both steep enough where you can hide behind them, but isnt too speed where you can shoot over them, while also still hiding your launchers, and the enemy is close enough where they cant react but far enough away where you can actually hit them.

@@snazzydazzy Well it really wouldnt be difficult for a more experienced key aim user

What japanese nerfs? O.O

@@Desertfox915 hey now, there's still a few going about (me being one)

Fun fact: If the map is too large, the Type 60 ATGMs won't even reach their target because they have a maximum range of 1.6 km ... try firing at tank targets on Maginot while being in relative safety - it won't work, you have to get closer to the things which will instantly turn you into a piece of scrap metal :/

at 3:12 you can see a plane flying into the trajectory of the missile because apparently it's so slow the plane flew into the missile, rather than the other way around

meant m2a2 the funny tank with the smallest main armament (that isnt an spaa)

Ah, just you wait to reach 6.3 and see the 2S3M. That thing is pretty much a KV-2 without armour at a higher BR with a faster reload time. I killed so many tigers and panthers with that thing, it's fun. Once you get used to where to aim once you see the most common tanks at that BR, you can just delete a tank quickly and fall back into cover.

@@alexmaximus9134 I doubt I'm ever going to reach 6.3, considering how quickly I tend to uninstall the game after getting insta-deleted from across the damn map five games in a row.

@@remkirkthegamer1157 During my time playing, i had this tendency many times, and yet, i unlocked and purchased all russian tanks and spaded them all untill rank 6. I just had to exploit what i learned about the game and about how players reacted. The time where i started to have some succes is when i was calm and i managed to use multiple strategies to outplay my opponent. As soon as i got angry or failed to use an effective strategy for the situation, i miss my shots and end up dead. This might help you too. You gotta know what your vehicles can do well and what they struggle with. This is why moving behind enemy lines isn't that effective with a heavy tank. And tanking hits isn't that effective with light tanks. But you gotta always think "what can i do better than my opponent?" For example, when facing agaist a russian tank, force him to fight you on hilly terrain, he'll struggle to aim at you. Know yourself better than you know your opponent. And be patient. Sometimes, rushing is a bad idea, especially with no support. If you fail to kill an enemy, he might retreat and have his teammates set up an ambush. Overall, when you get angry with the game, you'll keep failing and keep getting angrier. At that point, just take a break. Once you're calm, you'll have higher chances of succes.

@@alexmaximus9134 Or I could just... Not. Because no matter what I do, I end up dead without being of much use, most of the time from players I can't even see because of distance, foiliage, or because of my screen's low resolution of 1920x1080.

@@remkirkthegamer1157 What? I have the same resolution as you. Try playing arcade, at least there you don't have to look for suspicious pixels on the screen to spot someone.
