The infamous M4A3E2 Sherman Jumbo heavy tank needs no introduction to veterans of the War Thunder community. It is known for terrorizing low tier tanks before being moved up in battle rating by Gaijin, but it still dominates.

The Tank Everyone Fears - Hry
What's up
The sky
My blood pressure at 11.7
The strv 81 is
Please play the t10m day 51
You. Get better❤
The Jumbo is like brining a knife to a gun fight, except you're in some armored power suit.
That is exactly summing it up
And you have a m2
That it's made out of concrete, But still weaker then Stalinium.
@@MM10567 Stalinium is a great material which in its pure form can only be found in Georgia
It’s like master chief when he is out of ammo
I'll say it again from Spook's old Jumbo video:
*"There's nothing more satisfying than seeing an enemy panicking at the fact they shot a Jumbo, and it's still moving & aiming it's gun at them"*
Hol’up
@@SaltyWalty
Wazzup Salty
Panthers are Just Better
Its* 🤓
That’s a very easy tank to deal with
7:05 man this gets me,
“Maybe we can mark it for a plane.”
- Spookston moments before disaster
Plot twist: It wasnt allied plane.
they marked faster i guess
Plot twist: is VoyegeR bombed him hahaha
VoyegeR in his G.55S with a GP 100T Bomb "hehe Boi"
The fact the Jumbo is quite literally a stop gap tank makes peoples angry reactions to it even better.
Shermans are probably some of the most enjoyable tanks to play, let alone the jumbo. Jumbo my beloved
Wrong! Poopie armor but good gun double wrong! And two negatives equal a positive :3
Talking about the jumbo dude.@@gaiusadonusmaximusxiv9629
My biggest issue with it is being uptiered in it.
My biggest joy with it is being the uptier in it
Bull
Sherman's are fun unless they have the 17 pounder 😞
As a German main I can confirm I have nightmares with the jumbo
Edit: I just unlocked the jumbo and it slaps
as ex german main: how?
@@alexstasko696 cuz I have a big skill issue
@@alexstasko696Its unpennable by the front Unless u aim for weakspots
K/D ratio of @joaoemeri9263 : 0,2 🤣🤣
Bruh just yesterday i killed 3 tigers and pt 76 in a jumbo while being surrounded by them
tip for dealing with kv-85's and kv-122's: on the hull sides just below the turret, there is a decently sized 45mm plate that can be penned by just about everything at that br and lower (works when said kv tank attempts to angle, in the process exposing those weakspots).
You cab frontcpen is2s and t3485s turret right were the gun elivator hinges are
Right next to the mg
I remember when it was 4.7, one of the tanks I did well in when I was still new to tanks because the vehicle itself just carried me
German cry babies bring it up
Once again asking Spookston to give the DF105 a shot.
It is not a bad tank and fits his playstyle nicely.
fucking love this tank, yes
Spookston is best because he sounds so calm when he is really dying inside.
I’m gonna be honest, your experience with the jumbo’s armor is wildly different from mine. People usually go straight through the hull mg port.
Same dude. And panthers, tigers, russian 85s and 122s don't even need to do that, they go straight through ufp even if you angle.
You two have gotta play it differently, the angle only works on some tanks. As an American main, the jumbo is basically a tank I use to blow off steam after getting bullied in 8.3 (uptier hell) you can also always do the forbidden and just cover the Mg port
Also, try to angle around a corner where the armor is like 1000mm it’s very effective
@@UNPSC-0 even if you are lucky enough to get a cqb map, russian shells still go straight through ufp. The 85 doesn't care about angling.
@@UNPSC-0 honestly, after playing the 75 jumbo for a while and getting used to it, I do think it was pretty good at 5.3, but with 5.7 being constant uptiers, basically anything goes right through you with no problems. I still think the 76 jumbo is absolutely useless at 6.3 though, especially with jumbo pershing at just 6.7
3:39 - back when the Jumbo was...what? 4.3? I played it with nothing but APCR. Shooting each enemy was like surgically removing every single component and crew member, but boy was it fun.
Also, hull breaking M10's with APCR was hilarious.
Yea but Gajin wasn't gonna let the Jumbo have fun because German mains don't understand what a weakpoint is.
so basically you roleplayed britain
@@aiedenoldstien9751German and Russian mains are diabolically r*traded players
@@connivingkhajiit Pretty much, except it was fun.
I do want you to know that your consistent use of the command and conquer general's theme has inspired me to relive my childhood and I am currently working on all of the generals challenges in zero hour
Man, I feel exactly the same way. If you have any tips on getting it working on Windows 10, please send them my way. Forgot how I did it last time 5 years ago lol

Day 7: You should play any of th cv90 they have good moblity and a powerful 40mm cannon along with having apfds as starting rounds plus it has he-vt
The Swedish Anti-Everything.
the Swedish "Fuck you's all around"
that thing? yes, i agree.
@@zerrierslizer1 Yeah, fuck you's all around, but only 25 fuck you's until you find yourself to be the fucked one
def should add the music from the demonstration video
tbh, I'd love to see the 120mm compared to the 105mm premium. Or 9030 and panther/lynx comparison.
9040 is the best allrounder though, could play it on friends account twice
We gonna mention that he was in a game with Voyager? Or are we just gonna skip over that? 5:48
fr i thought im the only one notice that like the f their in the same match
7:09 Voyager cased spookston
I personally fear the Vickers Mk. E in the Finnish tech tree. It’s small and reliable, pretty speedy, and is Finnish
I'll have to try it again, but I could not get it to work. How did you play it?
@@exxusdrugstore300 honestly, I just aimed really well, or got very lucky at the least. The Vickers lineup of tanks are very odd thanks to their small frames and weird turret and crew layouts. If angled the right way (usually by aiming the corner opposite of the turret, so the left one in the Mk. E’s case), you can potentially survive a shot or 3 while waiting for allies. Thanks to the small frame you can also hide behind moderate rubble or sharp declines.
As for the gun, the 37 Bofors plays a lot like an American cannon. If you can aim center mass to a compact crew, it can potentially one-shot. If you can’t, always aim for the Gunner, as it has a fast reload and can usually catch a tank trying to back away. If you’re using something like the T-26E though, it’s just a Soviet 45mm and can one hit anything at 1.0-2.0.
The day that I non-penned the front of this with a Charioteer APDS is the day I learned to fear it
Jumbo facing panzer 4's in downtiers: 😈
Jumbo facing jagdpanthers in uptiers: 😞
*Jagdtigers 😏
@@kimjanek646 Oh hell no. This fuckers shot barrels on jagtigers faster then you can move barrel 3mm right at them.
Fun fact, it literally can't fight panzer 4s even in a full downtier anymore. It went up to 5.7 and late pz 4s are only 4.0 now.
Tiger: I fear no man, but that thing, it scares me
A beautiful lil' guy. Definitely where my love for heavy tanks started. Even if the cannon is underpowered for where it fights, being able to actuallt tank shots is just so good.
Loving the videos Spookston! I always look forward to another one coming out!
Bro thanks you a lot for all your content you could make a video a month and it'd still be worth it, you genuinely cheers me up in this period I'm living
5:46 oh hey, that's voyager in his game!
Jumbo: "I have the best armor, nothing can pen me >:)"
The MG port in question: 😏
There's a bug exactly on the sherman 75 right now (there could be more, idk) that basically overpressures tanks by shooting where the turret and cannon is connected, which is an absolutely ridiculous bug. You should maybe check
I thought it was on all cannons, as long as you‘re using HE? It definitely works on the 90mm as well
@@franzoloranzo7302Tested it out. Doesn't work exactly like the 75mm HE.
The little "level up" sound you had when you had the two Sherman's become a King Tiger made me lol 😂
I love how spookston just shoots the T-34-85s barrel staright down the middle and is just casual.
Why does no one take smoke shells with the jumbo?? Like seriously the Jumbo with Smoke shells is absurdly good because you can blind anyone and stop people from shooting at you till you get closer.
Edit: 13:35 YES!
Yeah I agree that the field upgrade kit would be a good add-on, and while I'm against adding Premiums, I'm shocked they never added the Thunderbolt VII as a premium. It's the add on armor kit one but commanded by the guy the Abrams is named after.
I just got the jumbo. I was scrolling through your old vids yesterday, but didn’t enjoy the old format. I’m glad you released it in the new one!
The fact that the Jumbo Sherman in real-life had more armor than a Tiger I is just hilarious.
Jumbo is the ultimate brawler. It can take a hit and keep throwing out punches to disable everything in its field of view, and it's mobile enough to get around the battlefield faster than most heavies. It getting constantly up-tiered (can't wait until the 76mm Jumbo is 6.7 next) is proof Gaijin doesn't understand that German and Russian players will always lose to a stabilized 75mm if they can't just straight up penetrate its armor and kill it in one shot. They had to make even the 75mm version fight King Tigers, because Germans just want to delete it from existence with the long 88mm, and Gaijin thinks that's balanced.
Its awesome how he has command and conquer generals music in the background- my two favourite games mixed
I'm wondering if Gaijin will ever add the Palmaria SPH for Italy, as they've been on a mid to top tier SPH binge lately.
Or something completely out of left field they could add is the Sabiex HIFV. Made in & most likely for use by the UAE, it's an OF-40 Mk. 2 chassis with the turret of the BMP-3.
That would be one hell of a sight.
You should use the Sturer Emil at a 5.0-6.0 BR. It performs really well at that tier
Ultimate can opener, with amazing depression. Until there is HE/HEAT 10 meters away or any plane.
1 shot hill sniper.... love it
Its always good to see some jumbo gameplay
Spookston: maybe we can mark it for the plane.
also Spookston mere seconds after saying that: *Get's Bombed*
I always get full uptiers in the jumbo so my experience I it went from great to not so great. So now I only play my M41A1
Update: just took the Jumbo out and immediately got a full uptier against Germany
Yeah this video is like bullying 5.0 in my Jumbo is fun... Meanwhile any non full down tier means your gonna be fighting jagdpathers.
The uptiers are insane. You get put up against Tiger 2’s and you literally can’t pen them from the front or the sides with the aphe.
i really love how the jumbo didn't really feel like a heavy when you drive it, the gun handle great and it move fast and responsively, what a great piece of kit
4:49 he penned the first plate, not the second plate. That would be why it looks as if it penned
One of the key strat with the jumbo is to smoke the hell out of target that are over range. You play as bait, draw fire, blind the ennemy and lead the team to break the front at close range.
unfortunately that requires actual teamwork, which is rare in wt
12:45 smoke alarm moment
You should do a video on the pt76B it has a stabiliser and night vision at 5.3
Man i LOVE your editing
14:48 Halo Combat Evolved sniper sound effect
Day 1: Id love to see you try one of the Swedish door stop tanks (Aka the Strv 103-0, A or C)

as a sherman main with almost 2000 hours on nothing but 75mm shermans
"i don't think i can pen that anywhere"
correction, you can pen that thing literally _everywhere_
You sure?
For those who didn’t know, the KV122…..pretty anything that shares the IS1/IS2 type head has a weak cupola. The US low velocity 75mm can be pen their cupola and fragment downward into the crew.
“maybe we can mark for the plane”
Spookston, I don’t think you are supposed to mark yourself :)
Day 5 of asking Spookston to play the Super Pershing
Spook man post == day better
7:15 I think that is the real Voyager in that order feed lol.
Lol I just looked at it, and probably he was the plane killing Spook.
right after u went to look for the tiger and got hit in the turret it went right to the war thunder add with upbeat music describing the different type of warthunder players as ur explaining how u play with the jumbo had me rolling
The jumbo got me through the American focus tree and is probably on of the funnest tanks to play in general, that being said, please play the M4 Tipo-IC and feel the pain of solid shot on a bad chassis :)
...I thought that playing UK lets you experience that in all colors and shapes.
I actually rather like the Tipo... most of the time. Fireflies in general are great when they decide to work, frustrating when they don't, and it's about a 60/40 split there. Gun won't stop bouncing and stabilize, but once it finally does... it does some nice damage.
@@DerAlleinTigeryeah that’s true m4’s will basically always be decent, but I’d much rather have the stabilized 75 than what’s on the Tipo-IC. It’s just painful to play bc of the funky armor but the pen is acc amazing so yk
@@alexturnbackthearmy1907well… yes
something about the firefly just works for me tbh
Day 65 of asking Spookston to play the t-35
bro the T-35 has to many turrets and plus da armour is kinda bad
14:25 you must have been a whole nightmare taking out two of this guys backups and the.n killing him😂
Was about to tell u to upload a video about the cobra but u already did lol ur the best
I finished my entire german ground forces tech tree recently and went for america, got the T14 back in like november(amazing tank) and I just rushed the jumbo and I dont regret it, its so much fun
It's all fun and games until you come up to a German main who knows what he's doing
(Shoots mg port/aim for the side)
Mg port is rng AF
Volumetric made it even worse.
Spookston: Calls a tank’s gun bad
Also Spookston: Proceeds to get 5 kills (at least) with it
2:08 When your American tank is next to an Oil drum, it’ll penetrate anything, even Stalinium.
I honestly never understood most german players hating on the Jumbo because as a german main myself i found them pretty easy to kill. Yes it requires aiming but if you use the same tracking tactic against them, they are sitting ducks as they have to either expose their side, the MG or just corner shoot them. The annoying part is the back of the turret which is as thick as the front so its annoying when you bounce from it. Also hehe Nashorn go boom!
"Yes it requires aiming"
That's the problem
>asking german mains to aim
The Jumbo isn't anything special, it's just that Germany mains don't know what to do with anything they can't point and click through the front plate.
i think it comes from Germantards being overconfident and brawling that thing
Your Audio radar is on point as always
"we aren't gonna peek that again" *proceeds to drive right out*
14:55 no ones gonna talk about his down the barrel shot?
lets take a moment to apreciate that at 8:08 spookston took the time to pick photos that had pretty much the same perspective for the edit.
The Jerman Shumbo, I mean, the Sherman Jumbo, is one of my favorite lower tier heavy tanks of the US tech tree. I have both the tech tree and premium version, and I recall one match on the Eastern Europe map where we were losing and I whipped out the Cobra King and made a solo push into the enemy B cap, took out four or five enemies (plus main gunned an enemy aircraft) and won my team the game after they tried to push and camp our spawn.
Another match I had was the Sands of Sinai map with the ruined structure at the top of the hill; a Skirmish match. I was rocking it with the M18 with four or five kills before I got gotted, and I tried to use my regular Shermans to no avail. Eventually I got my Jumbos out and tried to salvage the match with just two other people left versus a team of five or six enemies left. One of my self-proclaimed rivals were two players with the German KV-1 with the long-barreled 75 mm. I had such a hard time with those things even with APCR and a faster reload. At one point I sacrificed myself so that a Sherman Firefly could come up behind one of the KVs and end it. I mistakenly switched to a plane and we ended up losing, but it was a good match.
Sherman Jumbo ftw
I find there are a lot of players who play the Jumbo almost exclusively. Guys who have been playing a 6 months to a year gravitate towards it because of its ability to tank shells, but that ability only exists against players of similar skill level. That makes the Jumbo very trollable for experienced players who know how to kill it. The go-to, of course, is the hull machine gun gap. Then there is the cupola. The corners of the transmission by the track can be penned easily. If they're at a slight angle, you can shoot under the front armor plate on the upper glacis by aiming around the drive wheel. That shot usually goes right into their ammo. The trickier shot to make is between the mantlet and the hull. If you hit the mantlet just right, you can trap shoot em through the roof of the hull. Works best with 88's. 40mm spaa can pick a jumbo apart easily. The Leopard doea it best though. The stabilizer gives the leopard the edge over the Jumbo, especially if you have surprise, which is easily with the leopards speed. Just dont take long because he can 50 you to death, unless hes a total noob and forgets about his 50. You can literally one-shot a Jumbo frontally with Leopard spaa through the machine gun.
Oh the cobra king is fantastic, one of my favourite vehicles to play 100% (great in sim too). It’s the only vehicle I’ve ever got a nuke in whilst in a top uptier (and it wasn’t even my first spawn!), it’s just so unfathomably good
I just love how easy I am to entertain that the fire alarm beep made me giggle
Fun fact; Jumbo is not an offical Sherman nickname, it was coined by a model company some time after the war.
6:13 voyager and spookston in the same match. I'd be so lucky to have that match ngl
The CnC Generals OST is just perfect for every video!
Yes. The art of Jumbo-fu is recognized.
The cobra king, blackcat and M36 make such a potent 5.7 lineup.
The M4A3 Extra Armor Kit edit was my favorite joke the whole video
The 75mm jumbo is the one time america is allowed to play something that feels like a heavy tank.
And every one hates it for that.
Bros literally disassembling every tank he fights
_voyager_ activating the AAA order at 5:51 made me question whose vid i was watching
We gonna ignore Spookston saying "I dont even begin to know where to shoot a KV-85" like 10 seconds after he bags an SU-152 on the same chassis at like 500m with a single shot?
When I started playing War Thunder back in 2017, I went down the American tree first because I just spun a wheel on what I would play. Got to the M4A1 (with the 75) and got stuck on it for ages. When I got the 76 version, I didn't do much better. However, once I got the Jumbo, I started doing much better (despite going down in caliber for the gun), and now, thanks to all the br changes, I really enjoy playing it, something that was very difficult for me to do back then because only sometimes the armor would uphold against the opposition, and the gun wasn't exactly reliable either (Never could seem to get close enough to shoot where I could pen, or get a different angle). There are still things I don't enjoy fighting with the Jumbo, and I'm still kinda careful with it, but overall it's one of my favorite tanks in the game, and if I had to be honest, for a new player in today's War Thunder matches, I feel the Jumbo is slightly forgiving to new/bad players. But, just knowing how to position yourself and where to go in general on each map, knowing how to use your armor effectively (especially hiding that MG port), and finally just a small bit of knowledge about what might be problematic to fight is enough to give you a decent Jumbo game.
its even funnier when a jumbo bounces a Tiger 2 shell and the tiger 2 is panicking because its a Jumbo
pumas when he plays: depleted uranium armor
pumas when i play: .50 cal-able nearly 100% of the time
I had no idea about the real life "armour kit" for the shermans. Love the idea of someone seeing a destroyed Sherman and thinking: i could use this.
"hmm... well nobody's using it "
Not the low smoke alarm battery sound 😭 12:42
Watching a jumbo pick apart an enemy as efficiently as a crab factory will never get old.
Don't forget that the kv 85 and 122 has only a 40mm plate just below the turret it is not add on armor 2:09
6:46
Just voyager on the kill feed 👍🏻
And he got bombed by him
Great video! It is cathartic to see the opposite of what happens when I play lol
losing my shit at the entire sequence of events at 7:00 just my god, that cut was perfect
Am I the only one who recognized that Spookston played one Match with Voyager together? (he had activated the one Battle Command)
Tank at 9:00 came out like it was the twist objective for a Call of Duty campaign level
I completely lost it at the NPC Panzer 4 part.
Pro tip: bring smoke with the Jumbo. It makes moving around the map much easier, and you can actually protect yourself against Panthers, King Tigers, Soviet 122mm, etc.
7:20 bro got voyager in his game lol
that tank is the stuff on nightmares with bushes on it.
" maybe we can mark it for the plane"
Famous last words
Spookston: everyone fears this tank
Me with my Swedish heat:
The only thing I dislike about playing ground is that when the enemy team gets CAS going all of them seem to be Mannfred Von Richtofen, whilst our own CAS is deaf and blind.
