Since CAS is such a recurrent problem in War Thunder realistic battles, one of my favorite things to do is act as a dedicated anti-air player. With the Air Defense Anti-Tank System or ADATS, you can engage both aircraft and ground vehicles with success. Though Gaijin have nerfed the ADATS somewhat, it is still a great tool to have on your team. The only issue is that Russia is so dominant at top tier that your NATO teams will often crumble around you, leaving you to fend off hordes of T-80BVMs and T-90s by yourself. I was able to eventually get a nuke with the ADATS, but it was an incredibly close call.

This man really just solo'd an entire russian team and got a nuke off with an ADATS alone.
3:54
Keep in mind the moment that he dropped the nuke at as well too, very fucking impressive
As TheRussianBadger so eloquently put it... ADATS stands for Anti - DAT - Shit, whereby DAT - shit can be classified as anything you are currently pointing at.
That's pretty accurate
Its can kill russian vehicles to efficient, i think it should be 13 or even 14 br bracket.

The AGDS would still get shredded by CAS more often than it would shred CAS.
“Today is one of those days where Im feeling really vindictive towards CAS, not for any reason in particular”
Ah yes, better known as every day the moment I launch the game.
I feel your pain brother
If I could I would play SPAA in air RB just to fuck with airplanes
Am in the process of making a replacement to WT because you all are pointless in boycotting the game.
I forced myself to be good in fighters just to spite the cas players, even though I don't even like playing planes. I could have got better with spaa, but planes are funner and a better counter imo.
It's honestly satisfying af
@@osmacar5331 What's it supposed to be called?
The only way to beat Russian top tier is to single handedly hold out against the entire team and call in a nuke. Gaijin moment.
Imagine stomping a team that hard, and someone goes "oh Yay a kill for my UAV" only for that person to come back and make you loose by dropping a nuke xD
The top tier experience. I don't play it because of that.
This is all the information I need to know to stop at 9.0-8.0 Britain.
@@connoissuer_of_class stop at 7.x. at that point you have some atgm which imo is the last new technology that makes the game better, not worse, and you dont yet have drones spawning above you and destroying your antiair.
That is pretty accurate for Cold War strategy.
As a player who has never reached top tier (yet) , I want to ask, howcome flairs seems not effective in jets or helicopters?
Flares are only effective against infrared-seeking missiles. The ADATS is a laser-beam riding SACLOS missile, meaning it simply goes wherever the gunner directs it to.
@@Spookston oh, thanks for the information, appreciate, also love videos and don't sacrifice your mental health to Warthunder.
@@Qadir-24 It's too late for all of us at this point
most people guide rockets manually against helis. also the way you fly affects flare reliability. like flying toward someone with no afterburner and shooting flares minimises your real heat signature, but you still need to evade the missile to cause it to loose track and pick up a flare. flares work the best pre-emptively.
with chaff its the opposite and flying away or perfectly perpendicular to whatever is locking you will work the best, but much the same it still works best pre-emptively.
Plus some IR missiles have system that can ignore flares, but there aren't a lot of them.
The T-80BVM was hilarious, perfect timing :P
Regarding your question at 1:49 the answer is: " _yes_ "
Just the front alone is like three angled, spaced NERA plates, the top with the Hedghog armor isn't so much better and the sides are even worse for chemical rounds, there you have ERA, spaced plates, Composite and or Nera plates (depending on the exact location), base armor. And the turret is also covered in spaced plates and Nera plates over the base armor.
Although I don't think the Puma ingame has all off this armor and just compensates this with volumetric, lol :P
Pro tip: Don't argue with this person in the War Thunder Forums
but what if I want classified PUMA documents@@raddoobies
Spookston has decided to adopt Phlydaily's mantra for today; "Let my Tankers Tank!".
Everything about this content is so easy to absorb. I enjoy these videos a lot.
Hey spookston could you do a video on the CV90-105 some people I know claim that if the BMP2M and the 2S38 get moved up that it should also be moved up claiming the CV90 is broken and overpowered and I say it isn't. I would like to hear your opinion on it and hopefully get to say the words I told you so.
Sure
@Chopstick Cunt sales are coming soon
@@Spookston thank you really made my day to get a response I wish you the best of luck and have a happy Halloween
@@thealmightytigor5308 merry Christmas
Dunno when you made the video, but planes crash cause gaijin raised people's graphic settings (so you have to reset them) and lot of computers cannot support it, people usually discover it the hard way (happened to me and some friends, we crashed a couple of times because of freeze before realising our graphic settings were on "cinematic mode")
for me it crashed 2x and it said that i need to update my graphic cards. there is no update

chill its mostly walletwarriors buying into hightier without even setting up keybinds + knowledge of the game
Hey Spook, I saw a video not too long ago (cant remember the name), about SPAA. ADATS was in it and they mentioned that if you shoot the missile in third person, it will track the reticle of where youre aiming, not the highest point of your gun. That means that you can shoot down planes from 90 degrees above yourself, but youre not able to radar lock them. It works, tried it myself in few games and got kills.
As Russian Badger said: ADATS= Anti-DAT-Shit
Dang beat me to it
Something I find funny is that russia won't get nerfed. When Germany and Sweden dominated for 1 patch and got slapped with the reload reduction nerf. Now when Russia has been dominating for almost 2 years and still no sign of balance anywhere
Even funnier those shills who claim no Russia bias. Those people are beyond save.
Yeah that's the sad truth tbh like ik the F14 is somewhat broken but come on the mig 23 was murdering everything for a whole year a whole year for every nation to get shit on by R60M and then tanks oh now that's just a whole another level of wtf
Rrrrrushans
So I came to realize this only a couple weeks ago, after playing for so many years. When using the shturm, you can guide the missile in 3rd person practically any where, including straight up(it only has like 60° elevation when using the sight). It's VERY effective.
This also more or less works with the swingfire. Added “benefit” of it being able to automatically launch over cover.
When spook said "“Today is one of those days where I'm feeling really vindictive towards CAS; not for any reason in particular”" I really felt that
That used to me me everyday in war thunder being anti air is just fun lol. But I use pre radar anti air. That’s more fun
I have never dropped a nuke or had one dropped on me.
I really like the possibility that one person can be so good that they can win for the team.
A solution for the CAS issue could be like capturable AA points on the map. Put 3-4 per map so its balanced where one team can't easily take all the points and dominate AA. And make it to where the AA point isn't perfect, just makes CAS more difficult.
Or just remove cas from ground RB or even just make it two separate game modes. One for exclusively ground vehicles, one for combined arms. And if the queue times become so unbearable for both gamemodes (which I doubt it will but plenty of people like to throw that argument around), just remove the one that is less popular after a month or two. Then we'll get what the majority wants, might even see a lot of people come back to the game if they get to play ground RB without the chance of being removed by the sky gods. Nobody likes just dying out of nowhere by something that they have no way of countering. Especially with helis that spawn at the start of the match and make it to the enemy spawn with a full load of rockets before anyone has made it to an objective yet.
CAS just makes players want to do badly. If you're not a massive threat to the enemy team, you're less likely to be bombed. If you're not capping objectives, then you're less likely to be bombed. If all you're doing is hiding and playing as safe as possible, you're less likely to be bombed. If you kill someone who has a plane or heli ready, then they could very easily come back to revenge cas you.
Or just make it more expensive (for example a 27K cost like 1200-1500sp and an A7 and other comparable cas planes the same, especially since those things can be very game changing)
@@435cyberteam9 gaijin will never remove cas
@@jbeverley67 I know. I can dream I guess
God bless Seth, that mythical man.
With the ADATS you can guide the missile in third person view up to the 85 degrees shown on the stat card bit tricky but allows you to hit targets almost directly above you but I sure wish I could look with the gunner view!
T114, most enjoyable tank I've ever used! Would love to see you make a video on it!
Will you cover the Tor-1m? Seems pretty cool
You can 3rd person the adapts missile as the targeting pod can go 90* but not the gunner sights themselves.
Hello! Hope you are doing well.
That nuke clutch was epic!
Don't forget the optics pod on the adats is an improved ah64a pod. Another thing the snail did for "balance"
Command and conquer generals music is unmatched. Love it
ADATS is fine, the one that is subpar is the M113(ADATS).
I like the implication that everybody on youtube just watches Sseth's every video and I'm not going to question it
Holy shit. I was watching a short where the chime that is at the end of spooks's videos as i got the notification. Jeez that scared me
Good work, Spook. Keep it up.
I hear one of the USA themes from C&C Generals in the background. Good choice!
Vehicle suggestion: The Strv m/42 DT, because a 3.9 second auto loaded 75mm that has the same pen and more explosive mass than a 76 Sherman seem pretty good at 5.0
I really enjoy this format of video. Don’t get me wrong I like the silent gameplay only videos, buttttttttt I like hearing instant feedback about a vehicle you’re playing it’s sorta like a review live.
Hiya Spookston! Love the content :)
Is the stormer even workable against aicraft any more? I can't make it work, but I'm fairly rubbish to begin with. I get it can kill Helis still, just about.
I like the cc generals background music
Russian tanks in WT: king chonk.
Russian tanks IRL: *exploding because Ivan flicked his lighter on next to the tank*
Russian bias
@@defender12.24 Russian bias in a Russian-made game, of course
That clutch nuke tho.
Hey Spookston! I have a great idea for vehicle to play that definitely won’t make you suffer. What about the very overpowered and fair and balanced centurion mk 3. That thing does get a stabiliser at 7.3 but it also gets sabot to finish it off which goes up to 285mm of blank range pen and cuts through the Germans very well.
Do a Stug III. That was the tank I played most, and was semi-decent at.
I like that you assume we know who Sseth is because of course we do
Hello, Spookston. Long time watcher first time commenter. As an Italian main i'm always looking forward to new vehicles to help out the Italian war effort. A supposed rumor that is all but confirmed is there'll be a Hungarian sub tree added to Italy like the new Finnish to Sweden. There is quite the controversy on if Hungary should get added to Italy and what rank 5 and above vehicles should get added. What is your opinion on that happening and what rank 5 and up/modern esque vehicles do you think gaijin would add if this came to fruition? Thanks and sorry of the paragraph.
Enjoy the video alot!
Maybe you can do a video on the German 3.7 line up, which is super strong to the point of not that fun, especially in a down tier
Really want to see what a player with skill like you can do in tank like the Panzer IV G
It's insane the panzer IVs got down tiered so much. I take a g and an h in my 4.3 line up with the hetzer and they do fine
The panzer H should not be 3.7
Literally anything with chemical as a primary shell can’t penetrate it anywhere but from directly in front
And if you are in front of a Panzer 4 H, he can shoot you literally anywhere and kill you
It’s a mini tiger, as it’s armor, while not that advanced, is extremely good, allowing for bounces from t-34s and M4s, all while having a gun that’s straight up better
Someone once made the point “yeah by the m4 will get a shot off first, so it’s better” but it doesn’t matter cause the Panzer 4 will likely survive, and get the first killing shot, which matters significantly more then the first shot taken
With the T-34’s the issue isn’t as bad, but it’s pretty bad
Because the good 75 is at 3.3-3.7
Any armor meta doesn’t exist, cause the panzer 4 will delete it
80mm just doesn’t matter cause you can shoot it from 500 meters away at 30 degrees and it still goes through and 1 shots cause it’s a filler round
I have the panzer 4 g in my Italian lineup for 4.3, and it does better then the m4a4
It’s even more useful then the base firefly that sits at 4.7
Cause filler with 30-45 mm less pen is infinitely better then solid shot that has no post pen
But German players are bad, so it sits at 3.7, it should be 4.3
@@bornonthebattlefront4883 ahhhh so you now you know how it feels to play in a king tiger, or a super pershing. If you can't kill a panzer 4 then you're probably unfit to play any higher BR
@@bornonthebattlefront4883 the panzer IV is good but my panzer IV in my 4.0 swedish line up consistently does worse than my T-34. The panzer IV has a good gun and okayish armor with subpar mobility. It's not an overpowered killing machine
This AA is so frustrating to play, with only 65 degrees elevation, when the British one has the correct value of 85 degrees. That, and with drone revenge cas happening pretty much every other game, i just don’t even use it anymore
The shot he made against the Leo 2PL is how I feel fighting Germany at any BR above 3.0
Spokston with the clutch of the year
The 2PL manlet is so broken in this update. Anything that hits it vanishes
Good ol classic M18 gameplay 🙏
You should try playing the Tor. It's insane against jets at long range
but that means you have to play the fake chinese line . And you know the one rule on WT. Never ever help chinese tanks or players
Weird tonk please, the QF 3.7 Ram I, it's like a canadian toaster TD!
This looks like so much more fun than the flakrak although not having IRST sounds annoying to say the least.
trouble with cas is they can so high up that radar does not even pick them up. Its like gaijjn did add that extra to let air surivive .
Dear CAS
Flares are for IR lock on... Chaff is for radar lock.
If you're laser tracked or specially manually laser tracked... Evasives or die
now thats a strange looking Flugabwehrraketensystem Roland auf Radkraftfahrzeug o.O
Most times I’d log on, sit there for a minute, and just log off
nice nuke dude!
Hi Spookston, I knew you hate helis but what's your opinion regarding the Greek Apache? Also, would you like to have some more Greek vehicles in the game like the ASRAD Hellas, the BMP-1 with ZU-23 canons and the Kentauros IFV?
I love your videos Spookston! How about some MBT-70 or XM-803 gameplay for your next video? Please :)
Spookston wakes up and chooses violence
The bs reason why you can't fire on the move is that it isn't stabalized
Swingfire Missile Carrier would be fun
0:49 ... BMP-2 can ....
yeah thats the reason right there
same reason as when ATGMs were introduced IT-1 got, by pure random chance - totally unrelated, THE convenient aiming system
IT-1 can fire on the move and shturm cant. they are both semi automatic.
Khrizantema cant fire on the move and bmp2m can. they are both beam riding.
Its not a matter of convenience but a matter of systems used.
And IT1 having fire on the move is a documented fact and not random chance. go look it up
Could you please make a video on the leopard? i get the feeling not many people actually know how to play it, because they just rush in and get killed. I would greatly appreciate it

Should do a video of the AMX-50 Foch, by far my worst experience with the French tree
Ah, another sseth enjoyer. A man of exquisite taste, i see.
You should play the asu-85 something seems fascinating about it for no reason
Its still absolutely stupid that this thing is considered a tank destroyer and not an AA.
the only reason he got a nuke is because TDs get bonus SP per kill/assist/hit. Good luck getting a nuke with an spaa class that doesn't have anti ground capability.
@@goliath3413 I don't care about getting a nuke, I want my AA to be classed as AA so I can actually fucking use it as a last ditch spawn. Guarantee you if this was Russian it would be classed as AA.

@@fire_drake12.arc.24 if so then make a poll and say "lets remove the 800mm pen and apds belts and class it as spaa". bet USA mains won't like that
@@goliath3413 Why would it suddenly lose the equipment it’s equipped with irl? It already is missing half of the sh*t it was developed with, why would reclassifying it to its actual real world classification suddenly require it to be nerfed even more than it already is?
It’s an anti-aircraft gun, classify it as an anti-aircraft gun. I would say this the same with the flak 88 if it were actually equipped with the anti-aircraft model. It’s not like it’s overpowered or anything here mr 80% win rate.
Glad to see an ADATS video.

It didn’t use a smokeless motor it used a minimum smoke motor that disappeared in a second or less, it used the same low smoke motor technology as the AIM-9X Sidewinder
Either way, it’s a lot less than the cruise missile size plume of death that they have in game.

The smoke doesn't help because they don't render.
