The German Tiger E heavy tank went up to 6.0 recently, and many were worried it wouldn't perform well. They were wrong. Heavy Tank No.6 is the same thing, but Japanese.

@@bittype2405 That's not an Italian M109A1.
Gaijin reuses the Roundel icon for Britain, France, Italy, and Sweden rather than giving any of them something unique like the other nations.
More over, Italy doesn't even *GET THE M109A1*, they get the M109G like Germany just with a M2HB instead of an MG3.
And while it wasn't the Black Prince player, the M109A1 was the Cent Mk1 that killed Spookston earlier in that round.
“Heavy Tank No. 6”, the long awaited sequel to “Mambo No. 5”
One must imagine 5.0-6.0 German players being happy...
5.7 was a joy before so with the 2 BR changes it could actually be better. Waffentrager, Panther D, Panzer 4/70 and both Tigers was too good i guess
@@Spido68_the_spectatorGermany 6.7
but they kinda had to help them out by making it pretty decent to handle even for below casual
One must imagine 5.0-6.0 German players being grateful, more like.

Yes! He’s basically played all popular German tanks besides pz3
pz 3N is the best and most fun imho. with good armor, 3 sec reload and decent HEAT

2:54 that HE-162, literally completed his most important mission of his intended role of bomber interception holy crap
sadly he had to take out my first nuke :(
@@CalcateraJ-bj5hu damn
I felt the loving and tender emotion Spookston had in his voice when he saw the M24 deep in my heart. "Chaffee!" Will always hold a special place with me
Y'know what doesn't suffer? The type 16 perchance?
you cant just say perchance
@@Bunny-mx2gzI believe it was Kant who said "War thunder without Type 16 is blind but Spookston without Type 16 is mere intellectual play."
Type 16, the idea vs. Type 16, the wheeled armored fighting vehicle.
@@randomperson303spookston exhibits experience when he leaves his home to stomp a german main
I love this thing because you can play the Tiger without having Germany on your team :)
Also please play the ST-A3, it's a very cool tank with a range finder, good HEAT round and an autoloader
"Germany without the Germans" is the story of literally anything that got exported or captured. Panther? 10/10 with the Russians and French. Tiger? 10/10 with the Japanese. MG 151s? 10/10 on the premium Ki-61.
Germany has the best winrate out of big 3 around 6.0. Germna mains aren't actually any worse than any other nation mains from the big 3, it's just confirmation bias, fueled by the general disdain for "wherhaboos".
even the APHE is alright on the ST-A3
The ST-A3 is a monster on a flank due to its mobility. 45 km/h isn't all that high but it gets there super quick and keeps most of that speed when turning or going uphill.
@@SentinelPL Lemme see a source on that because i call bs. Idk how accurate the site is but i just looked at it and USA dominates regarding winrate. It would also make sense because generally USA players are the best because they actually have to play smart to get somewhere. The amount of Tiger rushers in 5.0 to 6.0 is insane. I see people rush in with their Tiger, die and spawn in a Panzer 3 constantly. It isnt biased it is just true that germany has the most useless and moronic playerbase for the most part. Every game i play with german tanks reminds me of that.
plays tiger with german team: "HES RIGHT THERE!" plays tiger against german team: "im so proud of my team"
The way that Paladin just decided to J out in embarrassment was the most real thing I've ever seen
The words "japan" and "two nukes" are very common together, but not in this way.
Too soon! >=(
@@angryzergling7832Im smokin that Hiroshima Shadow Garden type shit
Something else that doesn’t suffer is totally the Conqueror Mk.2, with it’s stabilizer, heavy armor and APDS it’s definitely a fun vehicle to play.
Pretty sure he would disagree with that, also he absolutely hates APDS
Long ass reload, APDS that does no post pen dmg, shatters on the mantlet of a Leopard 1 and actually the angled performance ain't that great.
If gaijin would un-grape apds that might be a viable idea
War Thunder players trying to detect sarcasm challenge (impossible)
One time I played a British vehicle and didn't feel like I nerfed myself somehow.
“I’m so proud of my team” something most Tiger players never feel due to being stuck with German teammates
Tank doggo single-handedly making me love Sundays again
NGL, I laughed far too hard at the joke about nuking the Japanese Tiger being insensitive. Sometimes a joke just gets you and that one got me
14:40 he had jokes both ways
00:30 It is 鷲(washi). Means eagle.
Is-2: presents flat side of tank
Spooks: "quick! Shoot the cupola!" *fires at the hardest and most unreliable spot*
*Picard face palm*
However hitting the Cupola is basically an instakill if you're using Pzgr.
@@rebelgaming1.5.14 yea, playing Germany is really nice, sadly most other nations don't benefit from OP aphe rounds
Spookston you should try the m2a2, it’s an American low tier tank on the stururt chassis but it has 2 turrets, one 7.62 mg and one .50 cal it’s pretty sad, but it’s also fast and ratty. Day 50
Regarding nukes I've noticed the siren just will not sound off for the enemy team a lot of the time. Friendly ones do work most of the time but kinda cut off after a few seconds
That character is 鷲
Basically is a type of large eagle, so I think it is intended for aircraft, a bit like English speaking aircrews put the word "Eagle" or "Hawk" on their plane, don't mean much, just feel really cool on an aircraft
By the way, the Kanji for tiger is 虎, I think it is a bit of a miss opportunity that we don't have more of these kind of decal in game, animals names on vehicles are really cool and pretty realistic
Lol why couldn't they just put the kanji for tiger such a miss opportunity.
@darimikalam8965 The symbol is honestly better. It's smaller and honestly most people probably wouldn't recognize the word either way. Unless they know Japanese.
This is the happiest we've heard Spookston in a bit... 😂
Hey spooks, could you try playing the leopard I, it suits your play style and it would be interesting to see how it handles now at 8.0
Yes pls
yes pls
It's just kind of mediocre at 8.0, outclassed very quickly due to its abysmal gun handling
@@IgzileeI would agree but it's speed and penetration is really nice, I've also had really good luck with getting overpenned. In an 8.0 lineup it's really good as a late game sweep up vehicle
Seeing two tigers fight each other was a lot more goofy than I imagined 😅
It's been nice to see spookston having actual fun in the last two vids.
I wonder when people will eventually find out the drivers port on the Tiger consists of 2-3 layers of armour that add up to over 300mm
... how tf was i getting kills through shooting there then
@@UmbraBreeback before volumetric you could put smaller callibers through the gap, nowadays don’t bother hit flat armor to its side
Except that's not how it is in war thunder
Historically that driver's port upper block would come off after or during a shell impact. It was a weak point, but in a way Dagor can't model.
why does spookston sound so much happier than usual, he doesnt sound like hes in agony
Maybe his kidneys stopped dying?
Ah the tiger, still an amazing tank at 6.0, be it arcade or realistic. Also the drivers port is really some bs, had it tank several Russian 100/122mm at point blank
i have seen it tanking DM53 from a Leo 2A6...
The driver's port, the machine gun port, and the strip of metal at the top of the UFP are like magnetic, I swear. No matter where I aim if I'm shooting a Tiger I at distance, the shell is *drawn* to one of those 3 places.
i checked on the protection analysis a while back, iirc the armor on the port ranges from 600mm to 2000mm depending on where it is on the port
just found a screenshot i took of it, its 3500mm. LMFAO
@@toastytoast9800 we just have to build a tank entirely made out of Tiger driver/MG port, and for a weak spot, a single T-34 driver port
I just love how that guy in the m109 at the end there wiffed his shot and sang the "F this shit i'm out bump bump" basically.
At 5:18 love it how Spookston comments on being lightly damaged there, were it me that M18 would've penned and oneshot me.
Japan ordered Tiger I along with Panther and Panzer IIIs. But interesting is that only Panzer IIIs was delivered to Japan, where is no information where did it went or used.
See Gajin doesn't need the important part that it arrived and was used. They just needed it to "exist". Look at every Russian object tank. In reality most of them were terrible, but gajin put them in on the stats that Russian propaganda said they were.
@aiedenoldstien9751 yep the Japanese tiger is in the bottom of the ocean it never arrived but ofc because it was ordered it still was added the game Luke any game is based off hard values not sold ones like quality and reliable imagine ur tank dieing because the engine died for no reason
@@aiedenoldstien9751 none of that is the reason why Russian prototypes are good lmao
@@doomguy.23frommars60 Most people just want the tanks to have more realistic armor and ammunition values.
Which Gajin says their game has, but for "balance" they don't.
@@daskollektiv4593 That's exactly the reason. Where else does gajin get these random numbers for tanks that never existed/have only one to few prototypes that were never tested or worked. The Object 120 for example. The barrel dislogeded when the vehicle moved. The object 279, there are no actual records of the tank being tested on with explosives. Despite that Gajin makes them premium and turns them to the best vehicles because "Russia have no bad tank mentality." Most of their tanks are dogshit but since Gajin said so, apparently people believe it
5:53 spooktune hellcat is real
Just found your channel today, all it took to push me over the subscription barrier was an adventure time nostalgia. Bravo, and good day.
did anyone notice at 7:42 that the tank top view was kind of scuffed when being shot by the m42?
The main issue of uptiering most 5.3 heavy is that Gaijin is suppose to decompress the Mid/Late WW2 tank so they face less Cold war tank, they should make top tier at 14.0. Right now they are making 5.7-6.7 very compressed again (although the tank still do fine)
Day 46 of asking Spookston to play the t-35
update: he did make a video on the T-35
So I’ve been watching your channel trying to learn the game and today I managed to get my first nuke ever in my Tiger H1 when I was fully down tiered:)
Just wanted to say thanks for the videos and the advice it’s helping me and I’m sure others a lot!
9:41 is it just me or is Oddballz a father figure to Spookston? It’s actually really wholesome
Spookston: you know what? We are charging
Instantly in my head: *THEY ARE THE PANZER ELITE BORN TO COMPETE, NEVER RETREAT*
It would be epic if you played the sarc 6pdr
Thank you Mr. Spookston for blessing my Sunday night with a video.
Love your videos, after watching you I drastically improved in my games.
The biggest annoyance of the number 6 is the lack of usable smoke even though the launchers are there.
As someone who mains US most of the time I relate so heavily to the T25 and M4A3E2 kills. Just *pop*, "oh now I'm dead...that's unfortunate".
Day 3 of requesting the T92
Love the content man! Keep up the good work
5:55 the music with the turret made me laugh so much xD
I loved this tank when it was 5.7 and still love it at 6.0, but then again I also finally finished researched all Japanese ground vehicles
I remember when the tiger first came out a long time ago and I was a teenager and thought it was invincible. I have a memory burned into my head of push at t34 85 and getting obliterated. Anyway I’ve learned. Great videos and memories. Also do a video play arcade-attempt about a month I think
15:23 That Dracula flow reference is top tier fam ❤
3:13 Gotta love the wall doing the ballerina spin.
I didn't know that editing would remove a heart from spookston 😢
I've been playing the Jumbo recently, and somehow almost everything you face can pen the sponson side thing. Be it a Tiger or T-34, the shell just enters the tank like you over-angled despite you being perfectly head on.
My guess is there exist a small gap of flat 100 mm there.
Wait, shouldn't volumetric be the solution of that then?
Then again, did gayjiggle shit actually works consistently for once?
@@jintsuubest9331 Worst part is that smarter Tiger players seem to have caught on it. Today one specifically aimed there and killed me, didn't even try to shoot the much easier MG port
@@exoticdachoo007been a thing for a while now, ive used it plenty but I moved away from germany, I usually play sweden or italy now to chill
12:55 you can hear music because in that apartment building its a sneakpeek.
In matches you can't really hear but if you enter custom battle and turn up the volume you can hear news and patriotic music in that area.
On the same map you can also hear the radio station of the police car.
On the Arctic map, if you go near the small dome in the middle of the map, you can hear the morse code saying `attack the d point', and in one of the villages on the edge of the map, in one of the houses, the war thunder theme song is being sung.
It is great that Spooks and Odd are legitimately friends and not just two warthunder players that occasionally colab
6:48 "Scheiße"
You should suffer and play the Wiesel 1 A4.
the shot at 3:58 on the jumbo's sponsons is the biggest and most consistent weakspot of the jumbo. Very consistent shot and OHKO with the tiger, panther sometimes doesnt have enough HE to kill.
basically anything that can see the jumbo can pen it
Nice video m8, would love to see you play the t114 whenever you feel being a gremlin
Hi spookston try Pbv501 basicly BMP-1 at 6.7 with no atgm its hella of fun especialy when you get downtier wich hapens alot with 6.7
Nice video, but can you try out the sdkfz.7/1 its abosluty op with its High explosive amorpiercing 37mm rounds. Its on 1.7 and has 59mm pen.
The german 37mm aa gun has only 49mm of pen. Which makes the t34 a very tough opponent.
every day i finish my shift at work (or college) and i sit and eat my lunch while watch spookston content and it always improves my day
damn you were in a GOOD mood for this video, that was hilarious
I definitely feel like pzgr is way better then 39
Its basically SAP but just outright better
9:30 The front left on tigers fill out if you take more than like 6 shots, it was an intentional nerf from gaiijn.
Wow was I caught off guard by the dracula flow drop. love to see it
I love your content keep the good work up👍
I can't believe you had to play this tank :( You should play the AS/42-47 so you can't suffer.
Spookston never fails to make my ass and spread my day.
...what?? 😂
@@JoJo-209- hm?
Another Spookston video to spark joy and laughter.
hearing command and conquer in the background hit some form of nostalgia
Day 3 of begging you to play the Breda 501!
Yea the Tiger is a good tank...if in a downtier...and the enemy is braindead...and they don't know where to shoot...and if you angle perfectly...and if the Russians (with artificially increased angled pen) aren't on the enemy team...and you don't get sniped from 4 KM by a cold-war tank...and some kid with ADHD in their M18 doesn't hold down W and enters your spawn before you've even left it...and you got 4k hours...and you don't get CAS'd by the aforementioned ADHD Hellcat who just got in a P47...
That's a lot of "ifs" for a tank that's supposed to be good.
I quit playing Germany after getting to the Tiger (The panthers are also objectively better in every single way), switched to France and have been incredibly happy since.
My average KD on France is 2 (not good, not bad) and despite getting to top tier, I've moved back to the Tiger to see if it truly was a "skill issue" and to my surprise...no, the tank is just horrendous.
The Americans teleport around the map, the Russians can drive backwards, the French if they're good can pen and one shot any tank, the Italians and Swedish get early APDS. For "how good" the Tiger is, you sure do need to do a lot of VERY specific things in order to fructify your "advantages", while other major nations and even smaller ones involve a lot less skill and a much higher reward.
The tiger is not a good tank, if you're smart then you can pen it in a 4.0 tank (being generous) and if not, shoot the large muzzle brake. They're so hilariously easy to kill and I'm tired of seeing one side of the community collectively gaslight the german players.
Average Germany main
@@coval5694 Gen Z homie didn't have the attention span to read up to the point where I mentioned I main France
I'd really wish for another CAS video. The last one was so much fun.
The oddbawz spookston bromance is exactly what this community needs
1:22 Only Spookston will shoot the cupola of an IS-2 when it’s showing its flat side armour
9:54 Seeing the MG wiggle around like that almost makes me feel bad for the poor M109
You should try out some of the 5.0-6.7 premiums which survived the BR purge at that margin such as the T28 which i bullied a lot of uptiered Tigers and Panthers with and even had a couple 9-12 kill streaks with it, its such an underrated vehicle.
As always quite enjoyable
This video reminded me when a tiger’s driver’s port once stopped my 152mm APHE from my ISU 152
I think this is one of the happiest I have seen you playing war thunder
I was really vibing with the positivity in this video
I've lost count, but I'm once again hoping for a Strv m/42 EH video... It's one of my favourite tanks, and it's APHE is quite similar to the one you're using here, with 260g of TNT it also tends to overpressure a lot of things. I would love to see a vid on that, I'll keep asking :)
Spookston sounds very joyful in this video
Yeah, learned to use the round with a little less pen but much more explosive filler from Turny! Great vid Mr Spook!
14:56 see that was mental warfare, that just shows you the fear factor of the tiger
The br bump is funny but especially so when both the vk45.01 and the command tiger P are untouched
2:11
‘oh she’s very dead’ - harold holt
Really good video! Also, dont bring less ammo, the amount you already use is the safest possible amount.
As soon as I saw the jumbo round the corner I knew the barrel was gonna get shot 🤣🤣
Never seen this man so happy to play a tank before.
4:26 I've done this in game against a T-34, but with hispanos. He was also driving so I think he drove over the richoeting bullets.
This is my 13th attempt at asking spookston to play the Canadian leopard. True Suffering.
spookston is very excited in this one
This guy gives me motivation to play another round so I can get one shorted again.
The machine gun port on the jumbo isn't its only week spot, around the transmission on the left and right side where the buldges are, you can pen there, aim it high enough and the transmission wont absorb it all and you can kill crew.
Also, congrats on doble nukes, and you should play the 6.7 amx-13, love your videos
Tiger is awesome for its BR. Good armor, good speed, decent pen. But its an angle God
Hey @Spookston, can you share your graphics settings? Are you using DLSS? Your footage always looks so crispy sharp, I want to achieve the same thing for myself.
Spookston: Behold, a video about the tiger.
Viewers: spookston, this is already the 6ty time this year you've talked about the Tiger.
