The Soviet ASU-57 is one of my favorite gremlin / rat tanks in War Thunder. It gets even dumber when you cover the thing in bushes and try to sneak around the match. Unfortunately, you are a very easy target for CAS planes. Gaijin should make bushes toggleable.

Playing War Thunder As A Bush - Hry
Technically, the fact that you died almost exclusively to planes means that the bushes actually worked
true lmao
And that planes are more OP then the one pay to win aspect of the game.
Technically in every video he almost always dies only to planes...
I swear i hate these lv 100 players in rb, when im a newbie, and they be like: m22 bush
@@LeroxYT i run every tank bare and still run around clubbing seals am i a good lvl 100 player?
Today, I've become the very thing I swore to destroy.
-Spookston, probably.
“Now I have become death, the destroyer of worlds”
And it only came at the cost of fueling the curse that tells cas where he is.
Pretty sure I heard all the enemies with CAS in their lineup yelling something like "you n`wah!" the moment he spawned.
He became the bush
Yes
Spookston trying to figure out why he gets all the air attention:
1.: You're in an asu-57
2.: You're covered in bushes
You totally deserve all the attention, not gonna lie there.
Yeah dude, thats like the meta XD
Bush camo is super effective. Not only for hiding weakspots and making you unrecognizable but it makes it very easy to be overlooked when people are looking around for some tank silhouette.
The goal is not total stealth (though if you can achieve it, super), the goal is merely to cause just enough hesitation that you get to shoot (or scoot) first. Hiding weak spots I've always had mixed results.
In real life, the goal was to break up the vehicle. In an era of infrared sensors and "fire and forget" however, that becomes much less important.
If you use vehicles that are not tank's shaped, and you stay still it also works.
@@hhale It's still very important, many just struggle with the stuff that works.
Russians got "Nakidka" (Coveralls) kit that hides the vehicles enough to outsnipe enemy in thermal vs thermal engagement. Ukraine got their Oplot T-84 tank with very low side skirts
NATO is all over the place. They only start to get a consensus that drivetrain heats up too much and need some sort of good compromise between length of skirt and offroad capabilities. That's why Abrams X prototype got these weird wavy skirts with rubber-fabric screens on the tips. Out of all westerners, I think Japan is on top of the game with Type 10. Offcourse, there are brits, with their Challenger II, but brits can stuff themselves.
With WW3 chances rising, I think we'll see very interesting one step forward, two steps back dynamics with active protective systems. ATGMs are bane of tank's existence, and hard-kill protection system feel obligatory, However, system requires RADARS to operate reliably and both sides got both satellites and Electronic Recon planes, which got capabilities to get ELINT reading on any radar as far as 400km away from their location. Which is not enough to provide effective fire, but enough to shoot ARH mortar rounds, artillery shells and missiles.
@@burningsinner1132 Somehow, it reminds me of Artillery Satellite in WoT
That’s how ground players in tanks look we look for silhouettes. When we are in a plane we don’t look form silhouettes, we look for any movement and any differences in terrain.
im paranoid by bushes already. one time i was spraying a bush because i thought it was a tank

Love the doppler effect edit for the shell zooming by you at 1:28. Made me flinch and wanting to nope out of there, without being the one who is playing.
im honestly trying to figure out how he did it
I'm surprised Spookston hasn't put in an edit of Rattlesnake Jake freaking out when the bats in Rango flew over in the shape of a hawk.
That exact reaction is how I imagine most ground RB players feel when they hear multiple C.A.S. plane engine sounds at once over them but they're in the middle of the trees and can't see the sky clearly.
Would love to see you playing the object 685 at 8.7. It’s a light tank with 100mm gun, 6 second reload but no thermals
Its just a better object 906.

I love the “it’s broken” sound when the round whizzes by your tank
1:20 yeas thats what you see if you play simulator. You see your own bushes
Did you know that pretty much the entire front of the Sturmtiger, including the barrel, can be entirely covered in bushes?
You can cover the end of the barrel if you use the right type of bushes. The spruce branches I believe are the once’s the work
Won't help u anyways lol, after the first shot, unless ure sniping, ull be rushed
Can confirm, mine's a wall of 6-pack bush lol
Reminds me of a group of arseholes artillerybombing the point from their nestled up positions far back, it was Eastern Europe, somewehre behind the enemy spawn's treeline. Bastards wore the entire forest for half the fecking match.
Finally, I've asked for this once or twice
Also it was great to hear you laugh in the arms helicopter video
I put my hamster in a sock and slammed it against the furniture.
which one is that?
hiding in the shadows works a bit to avoid getting bombed.
the lighting is a bit broken and it will make your blend in quite well.
i use this to avoid drones for a bit, until they have thermals, then just become the lorax and hope the trees help you.
Despite being too broke to contribute myself other than by watching, it makes me happy to see a longer outro segment just because of the number of patrons now. Looking back 1 or 2 years really makes you realise how well you've done and how far you've come with hard work. Glad you're doing well in the whole YT thing and making something out of it too, and hope to see more.💙
Actually, if you choose to use the gunner sight view instead of somehow sticking a camera inside the barrel, it does get obstructed by bushes, much like commander view sometimes does
Also, stay in the shadows, you're basically invisible to planes when under the shsde
@@hanakoismywaifu6350bushes have no place in sim
3:22 *crew becomes vitamin c proficient.*
I could tell you were losing your grip with reality little by little lolol. I have a love hate relationship with bushes so it just equals out to meh most of the time lol.
My quest for the Super Pershing will not end. Requesting this tank when time allows:)
you can block your view with bushes, on RB you are actually aiming from your barrel. On SB game forces you to use gunner sight and you will just block it if you try to stick bushes on all of your turret.
Play the bt7a at top tier.it's fast maneuverable and small basicslly what you like.
It has 70mm of aphebc pen ( it's actuslly closer to 90)
The explosive filler is enough to kill most afvs and can pen the sides. Of tanks.
That or the M22
Gigachad.
This literally. The BT-7A (F-32) is my dream tank to get. I love the BT tanks so much and the BT-7A (F-32) is the most uptier viable out of them. I just hope when the next crate event starts, the BT-7A (F-32) will be included and its price will hopefully go down to 30 euros as I would gladly buy that that under that price, it's just too price-y atm.
@@hunlepto2239 I have it in wot not in wt sadly.
I hearby query the one and only Spookston of yore to entertain us with the prospect of utilizing the amx-13-m24, for it is so inherently unsightly that it gives the kingdom the chuckles.
5:56
_looks at kill feed_
"Davey! How you doin'?"
I think that the lesson we've all learned today is to put the bushes on the top of your vehicle (it's easy to spot tanks from air, they're all uncovered, but a random fat bush wouldn't draw much attention I think)
This wouldn't work because bushes on tanks aren't rendered after a certain distance so it wouldn't work with planes
Spookston : Bushes are scummy
Also Spookston:
Yeah it's a lot of fun to ride for 2 minutes and then die to a sneak attack
Admittedly the reason bushes are scummy isnt really cause of the camouflage and sneak aspect, but because people use them to hide the weakpoints of heavy tanks
3:46 it was the same guy on the same plane lmao
You and Stimpee using “Devils, Monsters” for quick terror shots in your vids never ceases to get a laugh outta me.😂
Thanks for the video!
I dislike planes in GRB too, I feel like if I'm playing good, have survived for a longtime and made a dent in the enemies vehicle count I get strafed, bombed or rocketed.
No!
Bad Spookston!
You know better!
As a person who just got the weasel 1a4 I love just watching people drive by me not knowing I just scouted their whole team 🤣
that chi-nu was so petty, it's amazing, straight up something I'd do
The ASU is hands down one of my favorite tanks in game, just because how easy it is to hide, plus the speed and gun are good, only downside, planws and anything with a MG
Says bushys are bad then get killed by the real problem of the this game ever time cas 😂
My 22th attempt at asking Spookston to play the t32e1
Looking at you play like this makes me seethe with inconceivable rage
Spookston: bushes are crap do not use
Everyone else: it's a bush dont worry
I see casemate tanks, I click like.
Can we get a "boom-lance" video where you just maneuver and side-ram barrel-stuff people in the asu, t55, or breda? Something with no turret with enough speed to make physical contact before firing

4:36 - I thought I was the only one who said “Pooma” like that 😂
Devil's advocate, as much as ground matches feel like Air RB right now, if there is any vehicle that deserves a swift smiting in all of WT, it's the shrubs on treads.
I loved playing this so much when it came out. Playing this in sim is some of the most fun you can have. I mean, not as much fun as the KV-220, but close!
Basically only OP stuff is fun for you, got it :)
@@derrickstorm6976 that's typically how it works yeah.

I have bushes on some of my vehicles. I like the way they look. Also. Bushes can block my sight. Simply by turning on the setting for *view from gunner sight* sight isn't from the barrel. Like in sim battles. But for all battles.
I really admire your will and self restrain to not slur and not insult every godammed Plane Player. Absolute Chad.
I want to call you the n word so bad right now
Nothing did more to ruin WT than the addition of bushes.
Ong
Started removing the minimal bushes I had, never mattered. Still would get sniped across the map while sitting in thick woods... meanwhile I'd watch tanks with nothing be invisible in the middle of the road until they fired.
Bushes for block commander and driver view in RB, and everything in sim
I love ASU-57s. They're not too fast, can't shoot up and die in one burst. Good luck bushing that exhaust!
The Lorraine 40t would be cool to see, I shouldn't have been sleeping on France
Please try out the Japanese Type 90s. Their reload and armor makes them some of the most fun I've had at top tier.
This was a legit funny episode. More the added sound effects than the slaughter from above.
I was kind of hoping to see the "I think his mate saw me" clip from Meet the Sniper but with the amount of times you died to planes there was nowhere it would have fit in
Video recommendation(one or multiple videos): Play a variety of anti-aircraft/interceptor and just go doomslayer on anyone who dares to deploy CAS, partly as revenge against CAS but also as repentance for using bushes.
Day 25 of asking for Semovente 75/34 m43 while being shocked by the consistency of myself on asking for this goofy ahh tank
Good choice. Amazing gun. Deceptivly good armor. Small/short.
Funny you mention it, on my AA’s I will sometimes put bushes ontop and try to blend in to planes 😂
A Fun challenge I used to do is do a "Big Game" hunting trip with my Zis-30......Essentially, just shoot tanks from far ranges, and focus down heavy tanks 1st, as those were "Big game" lol.......Also, for more fun, you would bring it up to 5.3, and shoot the Big Cats, like Tigers and Panthers..... Love the vid
Strange string of emotions watching this one..
On the one hand I feel your pain of getting constant revenge killed by CAS.
On the other hand my brain was going "he deserved it for being a scummy bush tank".
EDIT: I initially didn't think much of the decoration bushes, like "oh cool a cosmetic thing for people to play around with".
Then I started seeing things like KV-1B, Jumbo, Panther, , and the front of them look like the front of this ASU-57..
My opinion immediately switched to bushes being a form of P2W (yes I know you can get 'free' bushes), that are super easy exploit and ruin everyone else game experience with.
Wait, you can get free bushes?
@@SwordsMaster7. Crate with random bushes is one of the things in the Warbond shop.
@@keithrogers6876 Ahh, thanks for the tip!
why the bush are talking .-.
Smash
I find myself in the strange position of watching your videos intently even though I currently don't even have WT installed. I just find the videos enjoyable. Which is meant as a compliment.
Also- the use of C&C Generals music in the background stirred nostalgia something fierce and I had to go play a generals challenge map... or 3. It also helps me live less 'dangerously' since my watercooler on my rig died and graphically intensive games tend to overheat my CPU(s) now... I know... that's not a good idea but I'm poor. I'm scraping up to afford a repair.
Also also- 'Double bushed' was a term I likely overused during my 'tenure' as a WoT player. I *do* still have that installed, but it makes my rig run very hot and it is... less enjoyable than it once was, so I'm not playing that either.
but I digress. Good video, keep doing you. And slamming German mains and 'soviet bias'...
the Su-100p is pretty fun, big but very maneuverable with a great gun and short reload
Can you please try the Cromwell V Rp3? quite fast with massive rockets
Honestly CAS needs a higher SP cost.
Also I think the Chinese ZTZ 88 would be interesting to see.
Lol the plane deaths is just karma for the amount of bushed you brought
I just recently got the gereman kv2 and I'm really enjoying it. I had no idea that I would like it as much as I do
I gotta admit, seeing that bush karma was very satisfying.
1:15 i think it would be cool if they actually made you use the gunner sights in RB like they do in SB. It would also prevent people from completely bushing up their turrets or shooting out of a smoke by putting the barrel just out of the smoke.
damn bro the command and conquer generals zero hour music brings back my childhood memories
This is why I love CAS
Hey spookston i know you hate slow tanks soooo how about you play a tank with a very slow reverse and do a reverse only challenge. I think it would be fun to see you suffer (love your videos)
So the Archer?
I feel like they need to up SP cost of fighters by 30% and switch light tank spawn cost with heavy tank spawn cost. This would greatly reduce early cas SPAM and it would make sense for scouting to reduce cas cost etc.
There should be a limit of so many planes per team at a time, and also how many can be used in one match in total (maybe have it so capping a point gives +0.5 plane spawns to the team). Furthermore have it so planes can't be spawned before 5 minutes into a match.
That Halo Flood music at 3:04 got my adrenaline going. Just an innate fear just hearing that music lol
I love playing with the 47/32 L40 with bushes and taking it to 9.0 and hunting BMP’s for god mode. The Granata Perforante mod.39 with its 55mm of pen is usually just enough to one shot them.
Day 30 of spook to play the Magach 3 era
CAS try not to ruin the game challenge
The one thing I know from playing this game for years the bushes don’t render in so to a plane you just look like an average tank You can adjust the settings to have it where bushes disappear depending upon the distance they said they got rid of that when they never did Still a fun game to play
Would be so happy to see you play the Mars-15 or ST-A3
Bushes are disgustingly op
What a devious tank getting up to mischief, augh it appears to be demonic in nature, very icky not good indeed
You make good videos spook. Thank you
Spookston i'd love to see you play my favorite premium, the SU-100Y
Spookston:
Plane players: “… and I took that personally!”
@8:19 I saw you having a comparatively quiet CAS experience compare to what I usually get.
Planes really are special to the Gaijin devs, despite what is at least constant comment of CAS in GF being way out of balance in game terms, they never do anything about it, except to enhance.
Every "update" introduces bigger bombs for existing planes, or better weapons in general.
Even the planes that were never built for CAS, planes like dedicated night fighters seem to have weaponry optimised for ground strikes in the game. Now they introduce so many snow maps that take away the last, thin chance you had of hiding.
The "spawn in spaa" argument doesn't work either, more than one plane up and if one "pilot" has more than a couple of brain cells, then as you're trying to kill one, they'll just hone in on the tracers and take you out so easily.
Even rifle caliber ammo takes out the mostly open top SPAA. Low tier SPAA has mostly very slow traverse/elevation and or slow ballistics, (m16/wirble and a russian thing notable exceptions) it's a lot harder to hit a plane with enough shots to kill than it is for a plane to take out the SPAA.
Plus your tracers tell everyone on the field where you are, enemy tanks included. Plus-plus unless you're lucky enough to do a pilot snipe, the pilot is so amazing unfazed by the fire and plane falling apart around them, they get to accurately strafe/fire rockets/drop bombs anyway.
Plus-plus-plus, we all know Gaijin meta is that most SPAA are better tank destroyers than actual AA (Sweden/Germany I'm especially looking at you,.... who uses the ANTI-II as SPAA?)
CAS belongs IMHO, but really needs the balance hammer to be applied. Oh well, their game I guess, they can do as they wish.
If you're a tank main, the sooner you realize this is an aircraft-centric game and quit the better.
@@bickboose9364 Silly comment.
@@iffracem *Excellent argument.* 👍
Anyway, the entire game revolves around planes and ground units exist mainly as target practice for them. If you don't like it, it's better to quit early than spend thousands of hours like I did realizing it will only get worse with each update. That's what I'm saying.
@@bickboose9364 Ah sorry, thought you were just a cas fanboy saying too bad so sad.
My bad.
I rarely play these days, it's still installed and I occasionally load it up for battle or two, but not often. Used to struggle through 10-12 battles a session, for a couple of months then take a month or two "break" (esp during the "events" when all the tryhards come out to get the latest cut n paste vehicle, or other morsel)
As frustrating as CAS is, it's not the only problem, dodgy hit boxes and driving physics, inconsistent penetration/post pen and armour physics (I'm sure it's just RNG now), same boring 1, 2 or 3 cap maps layouts with in built spawn camping encouragement, even across the entire map. It's just not enjoyable.
@@iffracem Yep. Even with a ground-only mode, there'd still be plenty of issues. Even without CAS the game is still a mess and it won't be fixed any time soon. On the contrary, Gaijin proves it'll only get worse with each update (gameplay-wise).
The best thing you could do is move on. This game is nothing but a massive waste of potential, sadly.
I need a Bush tank series now. With ASU and l3. And other small tanks!!!!
I swear every other spookston video is just another example of why there should be a ground vehicle only mode.
Bushes do get in the way of the commander sight and if you use true gunner sights they get in the way
i love seeing a new spookston video, especially when he faces his fears head on
Those meme edits were amazing!
"it's BROKen"
"I can not see, I'm legally blind"
You know, if you go into settings and turn off "gunner's sight through barrel" than the bushes WILL actively occlude whatever optic you have on your tank. This becomes very important in simulator battles as simulator forces you to look through your tank's primary optic (you have to worry about the offset between the optic and the barrel when firing) and so any bushes you mount can't cover said optic if you want to see anything.
I run bushes on all of my tanks, but since I am a masochist and use my vehicle's gunsight by default I'm also very careful to try and find the mix of optimal coverage while also retaining vision. It's much more of a challenge than just "add bush, neuron activation"
