The German Tiger II heavy tank probably doesn't need any introduction. Some War Thunder players think it isn't very good, but I strongly disagree.

The King Tiger Really Suffers :( - Hry
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?
Stopping people from saying “first” on the creators comment. Edit: my friend recommended you to me and now I like your content, get well soon
Aw, I’m sorry to hear that buddy. Praying you make a full recovery!🫶
Hope you get better soon
holy shi-
Hope you get better man.
Get well spook we believe in you
“A defensive tiger is scary”
*immediately proceeds to play offensively*
Good breakthrough tank in practive. They have to aim while generally you can shoot them on the move if its a down tier. In an uptier tho.... Not really.
They best defense is the best offense!
@@dannyzero692 True enough. Nothing more terrifying than seeing the wall you're supposed to siege come moving towards you. 😂
Set your cruise control to CC 1 and it's basically stabilized
@@Nick-rs5if mortal engines vibes
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
You're probably one of those Tiger 2s I saw that go full V2 mode.
@@shadowconquer-yv5yd honestly probably lmao
@@marshall1896 I'm planning to buy either the SLA 16 or the TURM III and the Somua SM plus premium time and crew for this anniversary as my first purchases in WT. Don't worry I'll have my own V2 launch soon.
@@shadowconquer-yv5yd TURM.... Tiger 2 isn't that good, he's just gotten lucky with his matches. Plus he's actually really good anyway.
@DeathMonkeys This is one of the most braindead takes I have ever heard. In what way is it bad? You have good armor, the mobility of a medium tank, the long 88 is great with a great APHE, reload time is decent, and you practically have a low speed stabilizer on smooth ground. Name one thing that makes it not good
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.
Oscar Fitch?
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
"What a delectable looking pastry!"
"WOAH! The side armor is exposed?! For free too?!"
wiggling his finger while on his toes

@@chocolatesandwichesofficia8445 real
It feels weird when spookston plays quite common vehicles
At least I feel a little bit happy about it knowing I can get it in the game and not have to sell my organs for an object 276
the Sla 16 isn't common what are you smoking
@@exceptionalanimations1508it’s not rare just a premium
Not that common but I pretty much see them every other 3 games.
I think you mean the normal (H) variant, the Sla. 16 is by no means common lmao
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.
the good ol days, when heavy tanks made you shit bricks and maps were actually 3 dimensional with clever flanking routes and defensive positions.
i still remember the jagdtiger, only aiming at the lower front plate was possible to pierce using the most powerfull enemy weapon, the 122mm aphe but even then you would die 9/10
4:50 He says "Marsch, Marsch". Basically "onward" or "faster" an instruction by the commander to continue forward or increase the speed.
“Marsch” basically is a shorter version of “Marschieren” which means marching. By that he simply said march forward. But if you are german, you should’ve known that. Still, hope this helps.
U can say "Abmarsch" If you Drive in a convoy :D and "marsch Marsch" is the Order to Run/ Jogging in the infantry. Or in this Case top Drive faster.
Sometimes U can say "abmarsch" to your Childs If your Finish with scold him :D
@@nightmaresecurity2916Marsch, marsch means the go faster as that is how it is used in German
@@nightmaresecurity2916 There is even more distinction here as "Marsch, Marsch!" means flooring it in a vehicle and on foot it means get your lazy feet going and god help you if you dont pick up speed.
When only "Marsch" (or for vehicles, TCs usually say "Vorwärts/Rückwärts, Marsch!") is said its meant at a more normal speed, e.g. like 15km/h - 25km/h or something the line.
Basically TC here told driver to floor it and get going fast and keep fast.
@@cpt.ozelot9566 As I commented to the other: Marsch, Marsch! is the command a TC issues when he wants to get going fast and stay fast usually without a specific speed in mind. Just what the vehicle can offer. Basically just militarily saying "floor the damn thing man"
Can't believe you had to play this tank, I'm sorry for your suffering :(
why does gaijin have to uptier anything that people didnt ask for😔
what suffering? german tanks op
@@irirjhrhr4645 What irony? Nobody ever jokes
Yeah.... the worst heavy tank in war thunder. Should be reserve tier
@@theninjashooter5942 lol
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 !
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.
im confused people buy premium tanks and play only that to progress the tree?
instead of playing through the tech tree?
@@alexzavala5078 while playing through the tech tree you will eventually end up in a state where your vehicles just suck ass and that halts progress, instead of that you can buy a premium and get your tree up to speed quickly. You also get more research points with the higher tier vehicles than t1s. And on top of all of these I believe there is a small extra progress you get if you use premium vehicles
@@andrewdroid1 maybe for other tech trees but Germany is filled with nothing but pretty good and fun tanks
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!"
direct translation would be like "March, March!" or similarly "Go, Go!"
Yeah but I hope he sees it
More specifically it's a command to run or double-time march, which is a silly thing to say when you're slowly climbing a hill in first gear.
i heard “Raus, Raus” 💀
Thank you so much I’ve always wondered what that means
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
Nice!!!!!
The churchill is meant to played kinda like that too but just because the thing is so awful you can't flank or do damage anyways so you're just the damage sponge
Inspirated your temmates
Those days are gone... :(
I’ve done something similar with the Churchill III, just used to stab and the shot mk 8 to just cruise through the enemy with my allies behind me. I’d angle and become portable cover for my allies with the stronger guns to use.
I always pull the Churchill out when I want to “siege breaker” my way to a point.
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
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
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.
is a "blast" to use, good one bro 🤣
@@jacobv6505 The pun not intended.
@@jacobv6505 Its also a blast to receive. That proxy damage is strong enough to kill unarmored stuff.
The gun depression is also amazing
Day 40 of asking Spookston to play the IS-2 (1944)
He did
Nice video! Your memes and quips are getting better with time.
btw the german voice line at 4:48 said "marsch, marsch" which pretty much means "march, march" as in "go forward"
Spookston updates are the best. As always Spookston please play the AML-90 (day 12 I think)
Yes! He needs to play that Gremlin.
I’d suggest the Israeli one because I suffer I mean main that TT
@@hoosierfarmkid Why would you main Isral bro, you must hate yourself xD
@@NikolaRakicDjesPoslaMala400mm pen Sherman
And then Centurion with a .50 cal
And then 105mm Centurion with an actual engine
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.
I feel that but also it's gun it's mobility it's armor it's just a really powerful tank. It's crazy , and then! the 105 variant has like 400 hundred more hp.
Wanna know what is bad? The IS-3.
Ikv 91 would like to know your location
Thats why i think its the most strategic heavy. Even in uptieres it could do good. Keep in mind the 12 kobe smoke shots.
Yeah its fine until you come up verse the IS-3
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 :)
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
Thankfully the tiger 2 didnt perform as good in ww2 as it does in war thunder. Also m2a2 would be fun to watch :)
Infinite fuel and well trained assumed crew help alot.
@@TheanimeisformeAnd infinite spare parts.
Infinite fuel, together with an experienced crew, infinite spare parts, almost a constant flow of spare tanks and the fact that the transmission isn't desintegrsting itself are some important points
He is also using the improved Tiger II lol
Asking Spookston to play the Csaba, day 13 🙏🗿
I love the little “hi” in your videos spookston
I love the reference’s to Halo with the flood’s music when you are concerned with a threat at 11:08
Keep fighting spookston, we love your content but always want you to put yourself first ❤
Day 93 of asking spookston to play the Is-4m
Keep asking for another 130 days 😂
Wow you actually did ask for that many days I hope you get your request soon
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!
If that make your happy, m48 have a good lineup with maus, but you better abandon tiger II for panther (its gun would be usless or useful in same situations as panther one, but panther is much faster).
@@alexturnbackthearmy1907 the only thing that excels from M48 is its heatfs, if you want aphe slinger, you better bring tiger 2 too in your maus lineup
@@rxzxqx6982 That why i said abandon tiger for panther. +m48 has good aphe, comparable to that of panther but with much bigger HE component.
@@alexturnbackthearmy1907 eh, I'll bring tiger instead of panther, if your point is higher filler, there is no point of using panther, better bring tiger instead
@@rxzxqx6982 Panther is just faster. And about as effective.
Hi man, your videos are great as always, hope you get well from your condition. Kidney related problems are very worrying.
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.
At 4:48 the commander says "Marsch Marsch" translating to "march march" , basically saying move forward (for anyone wondering)
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
10:20 lazerpig lore reference 👀
Don't worry about us, just focus on what's important aka your health. We'll still be here when you get back
Sorry to hear about your health Spookston. Much love, wishing you the best for the future
thanks
Been so long since i could watch video in 4K without my pc melting. Great video keep up the good work.
0:09 even in here I can see the master face
he is too majestic
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.
like every other heavy tank, good only in a downtier
@@night7185its even better in 8.0, for some reason people just cant kill it easily
@@user-ox4bv3it4ibecause people think that since they are higher tier they can just yolo a shot into the hull without aiming lol
@@user-ox4bv3it4i that is literally false, also enjoy facing the T10M or even the T10A. half the shit at 8.0 and up can upper front plate you and your cheeks are worthless so enjoy getting ammo racked 24/7
@@certifiedboylover3428 yeah have fun against 152mm apfsds
7:22 you didn't hold repair key for long enough, you can tell by the track marker behind the repair timer.
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.❤)
"Now watch this drive" will always make anything funny as a follow up line, especially on that KV
The intro is too true even when you are in an m18
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.
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're killin me with your editing skills man lmao
4:58 I think he said "Marsch, marsch!" Or "Panzer marsch!" which either means "go!" or "let's go!" or "tank go!"
^ correct
It meant "Marsch Marsch' its Like "Go, Go" "Driver Go" Sometimes the Commander says Like "Schneller!" That means "faster!" And this you can Gear mostly while ""climbing"" a Mountain.
And If anyone Care im German (Wehraboo wo hooo)
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
Or the t32 and t25e5, i really struggle against all of these tanks. Of course spookston gets constant downtiers which makes the tiger 2 extremely good and maybe even overpowered, but in uptierd its close to useless in my opinion
@@sneeuwkabouter9319 Its not usless. Just can kill only centurions (paper armor) and m48`s (same, but only on lower "bathtub") and light tanks. T-54? Now you screwed. IS-3? Prey he is stupid and show sides/let his barrel be shot.
The average German experience. I've made a list over 100 matches, 76 full uptiers, 3 full downtiers.
Another funne spookston video, hope your doing better and all the best to you.
4:48 He says: " marsch, marsch". Nice Video. ❤
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
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?)
A nuclear, almost invincible little bugger? Sounds fun, i would`ve even gotten one on sale, if not for BB that i want to buy.
4:50 it’s marsch marsch and means something like a march/ marching
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
Day 3 of asking spookston to play warthunder on Xbox
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.
They still use variationof bt-7 engine in t-90, so if they use varition of the tiger 2 engine that would be definetly nort a surprise :)
@@juuzous5650 It wouldn't be a surprise at this point. It may not be the exact same engine, but it'd definitely share qualities.
Hey - you’re awesome.
Feel better my man - take the time you need to get your strength back.
Sick spookston sounds like archer. Also, re-visit the m18 and black cat. Looks like your last video was just an overview.
you should play the Strv M/42 EH next, it has pretty decent armor, pretty good mobility and a very good APHE round
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.
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.
5:05 'Im now assigning you to cook a duty'
Day 11 of asking Spookston to play Cursed Tank Simulator in ROBLOX
Yes please
game is too grindy imho
@@juntingiee2602 not as much as war thunder
Woah Kennedy the furry from Vatican
the 2H is great in a downtier... it absolutely never happens and usually I face 2-3 IS-3 and IS-6
Yeah, cant do much against IS-3. And it can get you everywhere, that is not a hull front.
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.
4:50 The Commander gives the command "Marsch, Marsch". Short dir Marschier, which is just 'March' in English. Basically a command to move.
Day 29 of asking spookston to play the ikv 103
Sending good wishes for improvement your way, playing the Sau 40 might help with your condition though
Attempt #52
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.
4:53 He actualy sayed "Marsch, Marsch". it means something like "go, go"
Day 2 of asking for the French jagdpanther the amx-50 Foch
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
Just now i understood the "Now, watch this drive" reference.
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
The T-14 genuinely does use a "further modification" of the Sla.16 engine
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.
4:55 the commander called out "Marsch, marsch!", which is the callout for full engine power.
Spookston was role-playing as the last king tiger in berlin in that first game
I probably haven't played wt in years, but due to your video and oddbawz video and even dolla's maus video, i see giajin finally fixed the battles and actually let's you fight ww2 tanks.
the tiger commander basically told the driver "faster faster" or "hurry hurry" is what you heard in german when climbing the hill
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
the tank commander says marsch marsch so march march which is basically telling the driver what speed to go
4:49, he said: "Marsch, Marsch!" Which u can translate to "Go, Go!"
"...and Im sick"
average spookston video
I think the reason for the "you hit their breach but not really" issue is that the xray animation is calculated clientside for your benefit, but has no influence on the server's damage calculations and isn't linked (as in your xray isn't waiting for the server to tell your client the actual aftermath). Normally the two sync up and it's accurate, but sometimes it doesn't.
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.
Spookston, I think another Video about the Sturmtiger would be cool, you can completely bush up its front, even the "Barrel".
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.
11:27
This short hurt me as an america main right through the mantlet past the spall sheild and creating an ammo party
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"
"March march" - "move move" and also "moving"
Man that sucks I hope you get better
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.
King tigers are so good even heat kind of struggles to kill them since they are really big and fast reload
Would be fun to see Spookston play the AMX 50 Surbaisse as a 6.0s reload is beauty for the M103’s gun.
the hand gesture you were talking about is called a knife hand
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
I love taking my Cobra King and non-prem jumbo to a full uptier, I hope they didn't make any changes that would make it impossible for me to play them now!
