Best looking tank in the game
I know right
It's a fun word
Best looking except for the m1 abrams
I find it awkward to say, it either comes out as shank or skunk
Uh oh skinky

Can we get "Aircraft Prevention Specialist" as a title in War Thunder now?
Should only be used for a dedicated skink operator.😊
and you have to be bombed by Ju-87s to get it
The armour amount on that turret is ridiculous, I was expecting it to be paper thin. Plus 4 20mm’s
well it’s a aa Sherman designed by the geniuses that are the Canadians they saw the wirblewind and fixed it’s only weakness the armour.
@@n1co2017 and made just 3 prototypes...
@@n1co2017 as a Canadian, we do a little bit of trolling
@@derrickstorm6976 one of which did see combat it was just never used as an AA they used it for infantry instead since by the time the skink came into play, the luftwaffe was pretty much nonexistent
@@savagewolf5918 if they just build these during 1941
You can tell bo is happy with the little flashing light
wee woo wee woo
He should put it on ALL his tanks
13:12 Stick shot the PE8 bomb down which airburst and killed the ASU
This thing is amazing. I've had close bomb drops that would shred higher tier SPAA and it just takes it like a tank. Because it is.
The stock turret rotation is up there with the BTR and the Crusader, it's fantastic stock. Ystervark needs a rotation buff or a BR lower, it's just poor as an SPAA for fast planes.
Ystervark is a hand-crank traverse (I believe). It needs power-assist (which the Brits invented for their 20mm naval & the Germans for their 15mm drilling in WW2).
The round velocity makes it very easy to aim the ystevark at distance

All these need to be put onto t-shirts for sure.
@@eleithias "Two in the Pink, Four in the Skink"
Bo you forgot to add caliope rockets, and hull mounted twin 50's to your Skink 2.0
Between wanting a new British SPAA and being Canadian, this was awesome.
Sadly it doesn't seem very good 😕
@@derrickstorm6976 this ting is very good and improves almost every aspect of the crusader spaas other than the mobility an maybe some targeting speed, if you hit a plane it most likely will die
@@derrickstorm6976 lots of ammo, good belt, 4x 20mm, tank body so more durable to bombs and planes,
Same
@@derrickstorm6976 if its not very then its balanced
I almost passed out at 13:12. Everyone panicking over the bomb had me wheezing with laughter. Thank you Bo.
Bo's next username might be TheSafteySkink.
This is also the weirdest version of the Sherman I have seen yet.
Wait till you see the experimental assault Sherman with the turret-mounted rocket cannons...😅
@@dphalanx7465
*Those are Americans for you.*
@@SCP--fj2jr as an american i cant agree more.
2022 truly is the Year of the Lord! Our Lord and Saviour, the Snail God, has *FINALLY* given the Allies a worthwhile SPAAG for the middle tiers!
Hail the almighty skink.😇
Now it's time for the mob asking for the T77 SPAA.
A M24 Chaffee with a new turret with 6 Browning .50 cals in a hexagonal shape.
America does need an SPAA that doesnt die to a sneeze. And doesnt have absolute shit mobility.
@@robertharris6092 the T77 will still die to a breeze. Chafee are easy to kill with aircraft guns on top of the turret has a form of plexiglass or something on it making it even easier to pen.
I want this! It looks fun! The little flashing light looks great on this tank, glad to see you finally got it! Lol. Great video!! 💜
As someone who loves playing light and AA vehicles, i would love to see more vids like this. Might i recommend taking all SPAA's in a countries lineup into like a 9.0 game or something, and see how many kills you can accumulate. Would be interesting to see how you go. Other options would be all the italian cars and tankettes, or the russian tow's etc. See which is easiest to get a nuke with oe something along those lines
I mean…Bo’s already got a video of nothing but milk trucks
@@blademaster2390 i mean... there are other vids he can make too. He always asks for suggestions.
Thanks for doing a video on the skink Bo, glad to see the Canadian AA make it into the game
One of my Favorite sites!!! You folks crack me up and relieve my stress on my drive home. Thank yous!
Been waiting for this one for some time now! Great video Bo!
11:41 the tag for that enemy in the killfeed made me laugh way harder than it had any right to lmao
Why
Im so glad we got the Skink and even more glad it came to Britain. But it came at a cost… the 40mm crusader which I thought was alright is now rank 2…
I abhor the Crus AA Mk.1, since it gets me killed way too easily, even if I play perfectly, and I lose all my SL if I use it. I prefer the Mk. II because it is cheap, fast, armoured turret, and can actually do a good job at fucking up aircraft. Thats the second reason I love the Skink even more, as it improves on every aspect of the Crus AA mk.II, because it double the guns, and armours EVERYWHERE.
@@airplanemaniacgaming7877 the 40mm can pen actual tanks, I have never had a bad time with it and in some cases it’s caused me to called a hacker.
Regardless the vehicle itself hasn’t changed, just the rank which means it can’t be used in events and challenges leaving only 20mm based SPAA’s until the cold war era. As far as challenge/event progress go it’s a bit shit. Only a bit.
@@fazsum41 The thing is, you're not _supposed_ to be fighting tanks using SPAA. That's the actual _fighting_ vehicles jobs, such as TDs, Mid to late-war Mediums and Heavies, if that was designed in mind, of course (Even then, stuff like the 75mm variant of the Sherman can do fairly decent against Panzer IIIs and IVs, and even not too bad against the bigger kitties, if the user is smarter than the average Wehraboo.) If you're fighting enemy tanks as an SPAAG, that means your team is failing to do its basic job: prevent that from happening in the first place by being the one the enemy team is fighting instead.
On another note: Dont count the 20mm variants out. Yes, they cant kill the big cats of later war Germany, but they can just as easily harass via Track&Barrel Torture, and have much better protection against other sources such as explosions, and their main quarrel: the fucking aircraft.
I've died more times than I can count when I've tried to take out an aircraft with the Mk.1 Crusader SPAA (the open-top sheet metal box with the 40mm.) than I've *_KILLED_* using the twin 20mm-wielding Mk.II Crusader SPAA. The 40mm may pretty much oneshot an aircraft, but that has to fucking hit the shit first. I have a lot higher a chance of hitting my quarrel if I have more rounds going down range at a time. Not to mention the extra crew member it gives you, along with that oh-so-sweet 50mm armoured turret. Herman The German Sherman trying to .50 cal you to death? Not with that turret, he ain't!
TL;DR: Use your SPAA as a fucking SPAA, and dont ignore the 20mm guns just because they cant kill a Big Cat. Bigger =/= better.
You guys are amazingly funny! Really needed this vid after the day i've had, thank you!
I propose your new prototype be called the Fireskink
You are legit one of the only youtubers that actually makes me bust out laughing out loud and I love you for it.
Stick was on a comedy roll in this vid. I missed you guys so much!! Hope you are having a great year, Bo!
This was the skinkiest video ever! And I mean that in best possible way! This was a lot of fun to watch.
Thank you for all the amazing videos Bo have a great day
Glad this thing was added, makes a good "in-between" for some discrepancys in SPAA tree. Would be nice to see it in the American Tree though. Yes it's Canadian but America needs another SPAA. As always, amazing video Bo and thanks for the awesome content!
No the US tree can still get the T77 which is a Chaffee with a new turret housing 6 50cal which would ultimately perform pretty similar to the skink
Honestly though for the most part the US doesn’t need more AA. Quad 50’s do pretty well up until you get access to the M163 but I guess getting the T77 with it’s better armour and 2 more 50’s can’t hurt
Also Gaijin pls gib France and sweden a decent fucking low tier AA, single 40mm trucks with terrible traverse are not it!!!
@@cynicalfox190 omg yeah Swedish low tier AA is painful to use
bro the US tree has plenty of op AA's
@@operationdrank5864 Lmao the best US AA is the M16 and tank roof 50 cals until the M163. They could do with the T77. The M19/42 is still better against actual tanks but fairly useless against aircraft
@@TheHarvHR yeah I would more say the US has component low-mid tier AA. Nothing extraordinary but quad 50cals and dual 40mm cannons on decent chassis pretty much outclasses all the minor nations bar China by miles… I mean sweden for example has 2 20mm auto cannons which are terrible SPAA because they aren’t SPAA vehicles and a couple single barrel 40mm platforms, absolutely abysmal in a game where cas is so powerful
Bo: R3!
Me: Well that's a close enough to a plane that it's a valid target for the aircraft prevention specialist (tm)
It's just a very low flying plane. With its landing gear down.
I thoroughly enjoy these guys
Bo im going to say this now you never fail to bring up my day. Just watching you makes me forget about my bad days. Thank you for doing what you do.
Loved the video @Bo Time Gaming! Can't wait for the next video man! Finally, we have the Sherman Skink in War Thunder!

Also, as always love your videos bo and co, u guys make my days better
Hahah the name Skink suits that Tank. I do feel like it needs more ammo though. Thanks Bo for the vids!
We all know that KV is short for kitty vehicle
Excellent Video Bo and gang! Nice light on the Skink, but those Stukas were murder! o7
Great video Bo and crew 👍
We really need blue and red Sirens so that Bo and his friends can become the "Fun Police" in War Thunder.
that little light on top of the skink looks so perfect lol
I need this tank, the amount of times I’ve said to mates while playing wt, “I wonder if they’re gonna put a Sherman AA in the game” I’ve been waiting for this for ages, too bad it’s in the tech tree I don’t main
Maybe try the Brits then. Try using a country that doesnt rely on cringe explosive filler.
OMG YAYYYYYY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!
This thing seems awesome to play!
I've been wanting this thing in the game since 2016, took them long enough.
What a curious name for such a curious design. Performed well tho when there where actual planes to shoot XD. Great vid Bo!
Safety Skink has pamphlets for you.
5:17 That reminds me of the video on the Alaska map (many moons ago) where Sturm starts going "wee woo wee woo" and it's the most pathetic police siren ever
Yay new video
I died at "the alpha puma....I have heard of his legend"
Happy to see more Canadian vehicles
Loved the little skink bit
I'm not sure if Bo loves skink so much he put light on top so teammates would pay attention to it or hate it so much he put light on top so enemies would pay attention to him so he can take normal tank
The skink is a cool tank but needs more ammo in the magazine
Love the video can't wait to play with it.
Wakes up
Eats breakfast
*Sees new Bo Time video*
This is a good morning
Gajin should make "aircraft prevention specialist" a title
Love the vids TBLF!!!!!
Oh no, what are you doing back there step-safety-skink-bro
Yay bo released a video🎉
I don't know if I will get far enough along in the Battlepass to get thr light. :-(
I am curious to how far away it can be seen in a night battle.
I love the Skink, I've shot down loads more planes in it, in my first few days with it, than most of my other mid-tier AA's
You scan still drop bombs if the pilot is dead as well as keep on firing bullets something they need to fix
I actually ran into you guys recording this video on a snow map playing Russia 5.3
"i'm the safety Skink" - That made me laugh so much
Skink Time Gaming was born
how do you get that light decoration?
aircraft prevention specialist..... That's how I feel when I'm in the Alaska defending battleships
I think "It's Time to get Skinky" would be a good t-shirt lol
Man, all those shots against the Stukas were pretty skinky.
I never thought they would put this in war thunder
That moment when the skink said “it’s skinking time” and made everyone shocked and all the aircrafts sharted their engines
Where did that water heater come from?
"what's wrong with a little noot noot?!" That's a sentence I never thought I'd hear.
"I'm your special little skink"
I'm dead xD
LETS GOOOO THE SKINK
Kitty Cat KV Committee
that is gold lol
so, if Bo drives that tank, and feels Frisky, he get's Skinky?
0:28 so that's what a direct massage from Bo is like!
Love the video.
Honey wake up Bo time gaming upload a video
It is funny how despite using an anti air, Bo still got more ground kills than air kills 🤣
My first encounter with the Skink was a player on the other team gloating about it when he spawned in it. My response was to drop a 2500lb on him via He 111 special delivery.
How many times did u guys say skink while recording this video lol. Great video Bo, Fate and Stickboy
One more pun for the collection: Everything except for the kitchen skink.
4 years we asked, and now the gods have answered
Skinks 4 ever, that's good merch lmao, amazing video y'all!
Is it permanently there or is it an event tank that will go away soon?
This video is amazing for me xD. Cs the online name of a good friend of mine is literally Skink. So this is hilarious
All hail the second “heavily” armored SPAA
with that little light on your forehead you should be called "the angler fish".
0:44 that's a large bomb, goodbye
It like he having significant emotional event

You know 9.0 to 11.0 is hell when im deciding to start playing more around this br instead of 9.7
out here launching 17lb gavels of justice
Gajin said that they would not add the skink a couple of years ago yet here it is
If the US didn’t adopt the Firefly because of turret space, I can’t imagine how cramped a Firefly with 4 20mm’s would be.
Now we need the M41 HMC
