The Soviet heavy tank Object 279 is widely considered to be one of the most overpowered vehicles in War Thunder, even after several BR changes. I decided to take this monster up against modern main battle tanks like the Leopard 2 and M1A2 to see how it would stack up, and it did surprisingly well.

Object 279 vs Top Tier MBTs - Hry
Sorry guys, the editing is a little cut back on this one. Didn't have time to add any more before an early morning doctor's appointment :( hope you guys like it anyway
Don't worry pookie I would still watch it
Hi
Day 7 of asking for the amx 13 dca 40 and DOLLARplays collab.
Well will always like it, thats why the day gets always better after a spook upload
We all love that you upload. Hope you’re fine!
a billion trillion universes have formed already, but there is still no video of spookston playing the ro-go exp
we love the gun bathtub
One of my favourite TDs
Neither the bmp-3
As a high tier ho-ro main, I support this message.
Or the cromwell
The Object 279 feels like it was built for War Thunder when the engineers made it in the 60s they were like "it will be a good design comrade trust me"
imagine if the CATTB gets added, the equivalent of the 279 back then but for top tier
@@jujuteuxOfficial Now imagine the reason why the CATTB program started, will be added. I don't think you would like this idea anymore.
This feels like cause gaijin gave it some BS arcade stats , almost as fast and agile as top tier mbt's . Twice the tracks don't let you traverse better , it makes you slower . It's just for ground pressure .
@@Scorchluck i would love that
@@jujuteuxOfficial Cries about “Soviet bias” would be heard in a neighboring galaxy.

Too many timestamps bro

Spookston: “I don’t recommend taking a tank past its original B.R”
The snail: “fine. I’ll do it myself.”
Black cats so badly overtired now it's better at 8.3+
Finally Spookston in a vehicle that cannot be bombed by anything less than a 8000 lb bomb
"Completely balanced" as all things should be
Bomb friendly tank
So you say, but my bombs and AGMs disagree.
@@StudleyDuderight an AGM is designed to punch through the toughest of armors.
Though if you're bombing 279's something is wrong.
@@aiedenoldstien9751 The 279 can face things with AGMs, and dumb bombs are available at every BR.
If I'm bombing a 279 then everything is as it should be.
So, this thing is useful at top tier and yet there's ppl complaining whenever it gets its br raised by a little bit, shocker. Either that or the one that's insanely op is spooksman himself, which would explain quite a lot tbh
At 8.3 it was bs, at 8.7 it trived and now theres a bunch of problems here and there at 9.0. Its good, but volumetric, xm803 and etc is pain, and when you know where to kill 279-its so over for them, chased 279 back in the day on gepard and killed it in roof
Editing can making any tank look busted at any BR. It’s fine at 9.0, just because I CAN kill Abrams with a Maus doesn’t mean it should fight them. The amount of times the 279 would just fail facing modern MBTs in game would be insane. lol penned almost every time and only being able to pen half the tanks with side shots
@@22GamingGuy But to be fair the 279 can at least move unlike the Maus and I dread to see it in my already weak M60 (coupla shots one shot even by Gapards)
He is quite good but people being salty about 279 tend to ignore that what makes it good is its armor (which is easy to pen if you know where its weak) at higher BR its just another mbt but with worse reload, no smoke, and no apfsds. That being said I love 279 for its historical cool factor.
@@lolru4389 "and when you know where to kill 279-its so over for them" Isn't that true of any vehicle?
"APHE so good!"
"Noooo the fuel ate it"
Happens with top tier APFSDS aswell sometimes, though.
Spook bullying ppl is fun to watch
I was just rewatching the SU-57 uptier video. Now I have this. Thanks for curing my boredom.
Abrams: *gets shot in the throat*
Me, out loud: "That is SO DUMB!"
Spookston: "Ah, the M1 turret ring is so dumb!"
Ladies and gentlemen, pull out your Spookston Bingo Cards once more! In case you left yours at home, here's your 9 moments to look out for in this video!
- CAS fails to kill Spookston and crashes instead
- killed by Revenge CAS
- Spookston mentions being tired / out of it in some way
- 279 bouncing something it absolutely shouldn't
- another teammate attempts to ineffectually push Spookston along
- "am I the only person that x"
- low tier meme vehicle (M22, Sd.Kfz 234/2)
- "OOH!" / "pfft" following either a long-range kill, a lucky snipe, or a shell penning where it shouldn't have
- "oh, that's unfortunate" following a nonpen on a weakspot
Good luck contenders!
(also try out the Rooikat Mk.1D and the Falcon together, since one of them is great and one of them is ass)
76 APFSDS vs modern Soviet MBT is balanced - drunk gaijin employee somewhere
So we've got the first devblog for Update 2.37 and we're getting the XM800T, a light tank designed in the mid 1970s to replace the M114.
Ah yes, the chibi Sheridan with a 20mm autocannon.
@@liladoodle So, its like fox, but on tracks
@@alexanderpopov473 with worse ap, cause its the hispano 20mm on the yestervark
@@liladoodleBradley ancestor
Huh? T114, the one in game, never went into production.
You meant M114?
You are saving my days with These Videos, Im having a really hard time atm and this really helps me forget, just wanna say thank you man
hope you feel better man
@@SpookstonI really do, my gf is most likely cheating on me at this time and I havent eaten in days, these Videos are literally the only way for me to calm down
@@lIlNicooolIlhey bro I was there back in September. If you can go to the grocery store and buy you some protein shakes that have 20 or 30 mg of protein in them since you can't eat. They will help keep your nutrients up since you can't eat. Trust me man it'll get better
@@lIlNicooolIl that suck's bro i think alot of people have been there i have
@lIlNicooolIl best of luck to you man.

CAS: WHY WONT YOU DIE!?
279: soviet engineering, son
It hardens in response to kinetic trauma
Stalinium, Bratsia ! ^^
Soviet shiteering in a game made by russians*
Better touch that Bradley and Abrams combo
Monsieur, does this mean we will get Spookston to play Desert Storm vehicles? (I'd really like to see him use the F-4E in a sort of pseudo-F-4G way)
Day 194 of asking Spookston to play Semovente 75/46 M43.
YOU THINK YOU ARE DONE WITH ME? HELL NAH!
Semovente my beloved
One of my favorites!
keep going my man im trying that too
I actually got a 12 kill game with that tank on Normandy
Semovente chads rise up
3 videos of obj 279, the 3 of em are just pure gold my guy, just cant have enough of it!!!
Spookston giggling is my best way to relax after a night shift. Thank you.
Dat 68 You should play a tank with hydropneumatic suspension (recommend the MBT-70) But the catch is you have to drop the suspension as low as it can go for the whole match.
Nah should do this with the 775 for the memes
Type 74, just a whole lineup of them lol
that 152mm gun is so sad
the only good thing on it is the atgm
It would be sick if you played the M013 and even brought an AA if you wanted
God this thing never ceases to scare me. Also poor Abrams, it's just so easy to kill, I tend to treat it like a light tank now adays because of how I usually end up getting one shot anywhere. Oh yeah, one more thing. It would be pretty neat if you could do a video on the M26E1. I had no idea it was a thing until I saw one in a match, and that was the only one I've seen since then, so seeing a video on what it's like would be really cool. Fantastic video as always Spookston 👍
It’s kinda funny how Gaijin bias actually reflected real life unironically
A t72b3 was able to one shot an m1 irl and the best tank battle of the war was a t80bvm destroying a whole armored column by itself
@@off6848 ???? literally no abrams has engaged enemy tanks directly in the entire ukraine war so far
and also t80bvms are fucking ass dude russia has lost almost 175 of them with a 22% crew survival rate lmaoooo
@@bhhmmvan abrams was killed by a t72b3, but that was with an atgm to th3 side of the turret, so it shouldn't be used to judge its frontal armor
@@himhigalso note the crew still survived, which is more than you could say for any Russian tank
@@himhig Footage?
3:37 Spookston, I honestly think you forget just how good you are. "Oh I got 8 kills, that's pretty average" pretty average is a K/D below one. "3rd on the team it's pretty viable" the average player would get maybe 1 kill
the best feeling ever is watching spookston while eating dinner 🔥
me after work
Thx spookston you got me through one of my hardest times
And we still have the VIDAR hiding at 8.0
4:15 when you see that guy who is almost repaired, but you want that 'Help with Repairing' reward very badly.
Love the work dude
A Spookston video to make my day better. Thanks, Mr. Spookston
"How long does spawn protection last again?" Between 2 seconds or 5 minutes depending if it's you or the enemy having spawn protection
Spookston: Uses the tank practically invulnerable to bombs
Also Spookston: Proceeds to not get cas'd the entire video (for once)
Nice video bro, keep on with this quality content.
he just posted it, and u already say nice video.
@@liqui.My mans is confident in spookston's video quality and he right, why u hating
do you really think what I have written is hateful?
Love your content. Ckip up the great work.
And what really hurts is that I participated in the event to get this vehicle, dedicated my entire month to working on it, and all I was able to get was the autocannon Puma. I could have gotten an epic vehicle that looks goofy while still being extremely effective. So close yet so far.
Hi Spookston, the reason the ammo doesn't blow up on the high tier leopards is because DM53 uses a novel propellant that is basically impossible to ignite from a tank round
This video is less about the capabilities of the 279 and more about the lack of mental capabilities of top tier players
Still waiting you to be a goblin by using Type-60SPRG
I love your videos, Spookston. They're always such a great treat to relax to
Keep up the hard work spookston love your work
when you capped the 2a7v i imagined the chris rock slap lmao
Why on gods green earth would you give the russuians an idea on where to add this tank to.
Watching spooksten forget to switch back to APHE when having a perfect turret ring shot makes my day
I bet Spookston can spot a pixel moving behind a bush @ 3 miles without even looking in that direction ! You should have been a fighter pilot in WW2, mate. You would have been a one man army...
You should try the m103 or conqueror in top tier. One has a large heatfs round and other has the apds... the reload is worse compared to the obj279. Or even try the is7 or the recent plz83 130?
2:39 "Erm... They're not actually balloons, they're lanterns☝️🤓"
Spookston: "I don't like the look of that". *pushes anyways*
This reminds of that video from Dollarplays taking Maus and E-100 to Top tier and doing very well.
Superheavy crazy big tanks still reign supreme :D
The Object 279 is famous as an ambush predator, as we all know
Video 10 of asking Spookston to play the TO-55
I do not regret the long space race grind one bit. It was so worth it.

You always upload at 12:30 AM here in Philippine time. When you upload, remember that your video is the last thing a 19 year old watches before going to sleep.
Utilize this information carefully.
blud nobody cares what time this goes on our time lmao 💀
@@notcheems2783 the monitor lizard people do
Nothing like finally graduating and getting another good spookston video
Aye, as someone also graduating congratulations!
@Spookston they did something with the HP on the blowout internal doors. I found on Abrams about 6 months ago or so I was frequently surviving ammo racks from the front.
-
It makes sense, the path of least resistance for an ammo explosion doesn't change that much by just poking a hole in the armored door, but it was a surprising change when I started noticing it
I always watch a spookston video and get inspired to go play and go double negative within my first 3 matches and no longer want to play
hey spookston i just wanted to inform you that gajin made a thing so if you shot a guys barrel and it turns dark red then he can still shot one more shot before it breaks so make sure to break he's barrel completely before pushing him it works both ways btw it doesn't work with he's breech and sorry if my english is bad
I noticed that! It's gotten me killed a couple of times. I wasn't sure if it was by chance or not if the player got to shoot again. But, it appears they do definitely get one more shot.
Thats always been a thing, but the game randomly decides if you shoot and your barrel breaks and the round doesnt come out
@@Opalthira no it hasn't always been thing
Oh man, dont let the Russian military see this !!!!!
First time spookston was happy playing top tier
8:02 when the WT hits so good you gotta oppa gangnam style
2:51 that is the creepiest i've heard him be
day 5 of asking kv2
Very great video :)
Maybe a video on the BMD-4 in the future? The vehicle is still insanely good at its BR at 9.0 despite being added almost 3 years ago
Gaijin be like Yes, never mind the fact that the object 279 can take on modern-day MBT's No, it's perfectly fine that the battle rating it is.
If you pay attention to this vid, every single match was in urban settings, matches where his team spawn camps the enemy by the end, and most every kill is a side shot. The power of editing could make a Maus look like a solid 11.7 pick.
no views after 41 seconds spookston fell off
knew something was off when I was playing at 11.3 and I saw a 279 in the killfeed. Lmao good job
i love how spookston made the tom and jerry death sound after killing that wz1001
Never fails to amaze me when Spooston right out of the bat clowns on 3 top tier tanks
Over there with abrams part got me :D
Spookston actually having fun? And there was little to no CAS? Am I dreaming???
Epic video on holiday
Yo spookston, just watched the old 100k q&a video and just wanna say thank you that you aren't one of those people who make their sexuality their whole identity and personality. Mad respect.
Nice video, work the good keep up
People who implemented volumetric pen when hearing spookston talk about fuel running out for tanks: "Write that down!"
Ok the dodgeball sound at 5:35 just gave me flash backs and took me out. I can smell that sound.
That Fallout 1 or 2 reference was outstanding! Lol
Yayyy Spookston video on my birthday :3 Time to enjyo some cake while watching this! Also can you play the Jagdpanzer IV?
When there is nothing to watch spookston comes to our rescue!
Fantastic video
LOVE YOUR VIDOES!
When you think about it this thing has the advantage over MBTs of being pretty much immune to all IFV cannons from not only the front but the side too
gg bro, very nice video :))
this was the only event vehicle I felt was worth the grind. it is absolutely ridiculous... and it was 7.7 when released. it absolutely broke that whole BR range for a month or two until it was fixed. the nice part about it is that you can play it like a heavy tank, AND you can play it like an MBT. it's got the armor, and it's got the mobility.
Spookston gets to play a Cold War nuke proof heavy like a gremlin. Yup, a solid Friday this is.
me and spookston a the same time "is that a sherman?"
Spookston good luck on your appointment hope you're recovering well
Every time spookston makes a obj 279 video my coupon goes up in value :)
I'll never get tired of watching 279 gameplay videos 🙂🙂
I love when he uses the metal pipe SFX
Spookston able to tell a tank by hearing its engine, meanwhile I still can't figure out if it's my engine or my teammate's or enemy's.
turn your own engine noise down in the setting and cranck other players to max
You make it look so easy
those laughs from shots in the fire arc map are from a man who has gone through hell and back twice in war thunder
Attempt 26 Challenge: For high tier support a nations MBT with its respective APC/IFV counterpart (ie Abrams/Bradley, T90/BMP2M, etc.) Challenge is keeping the other player alive and supporting it without stealing kills (breaking barrels, tracking, repairing, etc) it being a random should help make it interesting.
has spookston ever played the St-A tank on the japanese TT? if so then pls do it
Looking forward to seeing the M26e1! Not a tank talked about much, and overshadowed by the influx of so many Pershings at that tier.
Rare footage of spookston using -999999% booster:
I also have never seen spookston suffer with the FCM-36
I’m 100% convinced that it was a time traveling Object 279, that was responsible for the Tunguska Event.
Spookston you should play a match with only shrapnel rounds
