The Swedish Bkan 1C is a self-propelled artillery vehicle that fires 155mm high explosive rounds every three seconds, making it incredibly lethal to both tanks and aircraft. It is also surprisingly tanky. Due to its very poor depression angles it is basically only useable on city maps, but it is still a very fun machine to use. I wish Gaijin would add more vehicles like it.

The King Of Artillery In War Thunder - Hry
These videos have become one of my favorite parts of War Thunder. Makes me feel like I'm not alone in this horrifically inconsistent world of bad luck.
This bad luck is also retarded teammates called
fr
Could have stopped after "world" I think? The bad luck bit isn't really relevant, it's inconsistent regardless of skill or luck.
@@iffracem No, it's luck. I swear, I have the worst luck in this game. Things like, two seconds after I set a fire on an enemy plane, it's gone, but my fires never go out no matter what I do. I get instantly pilot-sniped with shots over a kilometer away, but I can fill a plane with a couple hundred rounds at 200 meters, and it'll be perfectly fine.
It's a hard thing to describe without people just saying "skill issue" or some shit, but I swear it's not natural. Part of it is Gaijin's game being inconsistent as hell, but most is just random chance not being in my favor more often than it is.
@@ODST_Parker sounds like a skill issue to me
4:34 Every time I see a scenario like that, where a tiny little light vehicle gets just obliterated by a 150+mm round, it always reminds me of the, “Boss, you killed a child!” line from MGSV.
Great work, this why your the best boss!
Edit: this doing numbers. thank you guys
@@kiryu-chan1590 Oh my god we share the same fucking brain cell because I said exactly that when he did that
S rank
i was waiting for him to edit in the meme but was ultimately disappointed
imagine that in OddBawz voice
5:31 if you look at the kill cam, you can see that some shrapnel from the shell traveled the length of the barrel INSIDE of it, and hit the breach. The game thought you penned since the breach is an internal component, and therefore applied overpressure
logimc
Tbf if the breech was loaded and shrapnel hit the shell while also damaging the barrel enough it could detonate
@Le Meow shrapnel would not pierce through the front of a APHE round
it's so Looney Tunes, like if Bugs Bunny blew into the muzzle end of the gun and caused the breech to explode in Yosemite Sam's face.
@@LeMeowAu I'd like to remind you that the whole system is, in fact, designed to detonate on demand
The breech is often thicker than it needs to be as well as a counterweight and in modern vehicles, some extra protection
My favorite part of the Bkan is how ridiculously survivable it is for absolutely no reason sometimes
Survives every shell launched at it, dies to a 25 kg bomb that lands 20 meters away.
its just an RNG lmao, once i survived a swarm of ISs and Pershing while taking out some of them in this thing, and also a damned BT5 one shot me.
swedish vehicles can be like that
It's a knowledge check. They can one shot your shell-pile or 50 cal your crew but if they are shooting darts from large cannons you can survive a lot of pincushion
@@drmaulana2600 not random the bt5 was probably the only one using an APhe shell with the correct fuse
More Swedish tanks please? Like ikv’s and strv’s?
i would love to see it too
More Sergal tanks the better!!
@@shadows4400 what does that mean
@@sillylittleowlguy2392Cheese wedge

Which one? There's like a ton of them
nah he’s gotta play the dicker max
@@Myyka_1 superbias only correct answer
I like to use the proxy as a "top attack" round at longer ranges. just aim slightly higher than normal to aim for roofs and it usually causes pretty good damage. Just remember that it has a minimum arming distance unlike the normal HE.
nah not that great. direct hit will do more damage.
i use this vehicle on my top tier lineup for maps with chokepoints. The proxy fuze doesnt work for the mbts. the helis on the other hand...
Proxy works miracles as Anti-Air. So much explosive, pretty good fuse range, it just decimates air craft. Had alot of matches where I would just pull that out instead of my actual SPAA, to pop helicopters.
I use proxy rounds only, in my type 75 SPH, it's so dirty it's satisfying. You can kill a m18 behind a building. Once i killed an spaa, a wall away, didn't know where he was, just saw his tracers. Shot my proxy, and proxy him to death.. It's so dirty it's satisfying! ..plus it is also a moral booster. You don't need to be to afraid landing your shots correct.
Obviously it can be not so reliable as the normal HE. But from what i experienced. It doesn't happen often
@@Rio_SenpaiYT that strat on desert maps in my little ruskie tanks makes me pee a little to be honest
I creased up at the *"I've fallen and I cant get up!"*
You should play the m4a3 105, it is decently armored and can tank a lot of shots at its BR and overpressure
I second this, the M4A3 105 is what the Tiger wanted to be. It can tank helluva shots, has a lot of pen, can overpressure, has a .50 cal, is fucking fast, and can one shot almost everything. It's incredible for sniping at long range and with ace crew (like mine) is easy to get 4-6 kills before dying by CAS.
The M4A3 (105) is absolutely disgusting in a downtier
the sealclubber
@@JohnSmith-mk5jt even in an uptier, it can and will bounce shots from a kv-2
@@JohnSmith-mk5jt Yeah, it is like beating toddlers with a bat. Having the .50 cal alone is like already having a M2A2 plus a big ass 105 mm cannon lmao
2:10 "Don't move. His vision is based on movement"
I saw him from over there and I was like “maybe he doesn’t see me” lmaoooo
You'd be amazed how many times that has worked for me. I just act like a dead tank and they'll drive right past.. Sometimes the two brain cells in their head rub together and they'll MG you and you know you are fucked.
@@SilvaDreams if you bind engine activation to a easy to access button (I play on controller) then you can just become a total ghost if someone doesn’t look at you too closely
@@user-ns4zm8qe9p even better if you use american tanks with brown paint that look like theyre dead already xD
4:23 the shell went on an adventure
Continuing the trend of Swedish autoloaders, Strv M/42 Delat Torn. It has a 3.5 second reload and with the APHE shell it boasts similar performance to the American 76 while also having about twice the HE filler.
More specificaly a seemi auto loader.
There are only 2 kinds of players that take a 1.0 vehicle over the 6.0 br.
One time I met a 15 cm Sturmpanzer II, when I was in the tiger 2 P.
The match ended with our victory and I checked, he had 5 kills and zero deaths.
its not sturmpanzer, but once i fought a swedish team and somehow an Spj44 lead them with 5 kills, cople assists and 0 death.
this was in 6.7 match mind you.
I agree, i once killed an is 6 and a su 100 p with one shot with the sturmpanzer
Funny thing is the higher you go over 6.7 the easier it is because so many things are either a MBT with thin side armor or a light tank which all have paper armor.
@@drmaulana2600
Are that the swedish blow gun with 100 pen?
@@ApusApus Nah its the 150mm HE recoilless rifle
There is another unique swedish vehicle with a fast autoloader, the S tank :)
6:06 I swear this was like something straight of a cartoon.
I'm just imagining some character trying to crawl out of danger, and sudenly bumping into the villan's leg.
Hello Spookston!
I'm from Sweden and I have been to the military vehicle museum called Arsenalen, they have a Bandkanon there, the prototype that reloaded even faster then the production version you just played, I will recall that it can shot 14 rounds in 45 seconds.
Thanks for the video, it was really fun to watch!
Could you play the Tiger II (H)?
Since the update changed some APDS penetration stats, I'd be curious to see how that effects gameplay(if it does at all anyway).
They added like 100mm pen to brits apds but the damage and angle performance is absolute garbage now
for some reason my APDS goes straight down after penetrating. Is that normal?
@@i8yourDog nah i have same problem and it's like this with lagrge caliber apds .
@@i8yourDog That happens mainly on Russian APDS when hitting a Leo A1A1/A5 it dips 90 degrees and does 0 damage haha.
@@BARelement lol for me it's the exact opposite. My 105 APDS on the A1A1 does that every time.
I understand why they dont have it but I kinda wish the arty in wt had indirect fire capabilities like if you aim upwards itd show your impacts on the minimap or something.
Most of the artillery pieces we have in-game have minimum engagement ranges that exceed most maps
CAS and artillery with indirect fire mode? Sounds like a good way to end up killing ground RB mode.
The only things I can think of right nowin the game with a minimum indirect range
that fits on maps would be the Sturmpanzer II and IV and the Sturmtiger
just arc ur shots xd
Just get a spotter to help you calculate your ranges 5 head.
This is why I love the Swedish tech tree
Thanks for the huge memory you brought back with the background music, Command & Conquer Generals ♥
Best ammo is proxy only, shoot above the tank and it will explode downwards, keep in mind that proxy only works if the target is more than 250m away, if under 250m it will not detonate but just fly above them, on close range its best to shoot commanders cupola or underneath the tank if possible as its insta kill
Wait so that one plane kill he really did just bitchslap it with the 155?
with proxy ammo yes like an spaa, i did it couple of times as well
@@RedShocktrooperRST that was a lot further than 250m
@@robertharris6092they're talking about at 3:53 which was point blank
It's my second time seeing Spookston taking decapitated turret for a tank. It's hilarious every time.
Just here to say I hope you're doing better now after your operation, I imagine based on my own experience with surgery, that the recovery process and post treatment can feel slow but you'll get through it chief, love your content.
i recently have been grinding Sweden, found this thing a few weeks ago. It is now probably my favourite tank if not one of my favourites! something about hitting planes or tricking people with a 3.7 sec reload
Could you do the ikv-91? Pretty good light tank with a laser range finder at 7.3.
I love the IKV-91!
Same goes for the Italian M47/90 PLEASE SPOOKSTON PLEASE GOD PLAY ITALY
Day 47 : play the L3...
He has
stop lying you didn't comment for 47 days
@@RWTVYT bro is 1y late
@@Shirt. So?
@@RWTVYT im just saying🥲..
I have actually learned alot about were to shoot tanks with HE from your channel. I appreciate it. GG
I like that the C&C generals background music is bring played in the background. Nice
The sheer size of this artillery in real life is astounding imo
Ikv91 is insane especially on wide open maps, it’s a really fun vehicle overall to play
ikv91 is nuts once you get the laser rangefinder, the shell travel waaaay too slow to reliably hit otherwise.
arching it over obstacle is funny tho @@ravenof1985
0:43 artelery brothers
The c&c background music fits so well
Hey Spook, I recently got the USSR IS-6 premium and it is exceptionally good. It has insane reverse speed and has the same 122 as the IS-2 except it has more armour and the torque on the IS-6 is amazing I reckon it'd make a good video. Only downsides are really the slow reload compared to other tanks in its br but the reload for the gun is pretty fast, and it bounces shells really well, and also the tight packing of the crew so low survivalbility, typical of Russian tanks tho. Uptiers are common but it performs relatively well if played right, would love to see it, love the content
This is my goal for the Sweden tree currently. Love the design and sillyness lol.
Again asking for the Super Pershing, I think like my 7th or 8th time asking:)
that moment at 5:35 had to be terrifying for your enemy lmao. firing that shot, failing, and just desperately machine gunning as you watch that massive cannon turn slowly towards you
Finally the video I have been waiting for
Spookston, is one of your favourite vehicles still the Chi-Ha Kai?
Yes
@@Spookston The Chi-Ha Kai is an insane vehicle why not make a video on it? Or maybe you already have?
If ya can, do some more videos on the premiums that can kind of show how they are.
I got a T-55 AM1 because I liked its looks and it seems quite fun to use
I have a friend who uses proxy rounds on the tanks too, but he makes shooting aircraft out of the sky with this thing like art. I love it being called the PEZ dispenser.
It's so satisfying when you turn it into a flak cannon
Could've sworn I heard a Jet Force Gemini laser blaster sound in this.
Fun video as always 👍
You should play the Breda 501, seems like a vehicle you might like cosidering it's pretty speedy with a very good cannon for it's BR.
The Bkan 1C is not classified as a open-top vehicle by the game, meaning a lot of stuff cant easily overpressure you
Been lurkin in the WT community to see if the game was worth the time investment. Your vids are the most entertaining and eventually got me to install! Great vids man, keep it up!
Nice shooting! Gotta love vehicles that actually get proximity HE.
That Shell at the end of the Tunisia match is going to single-handedly win the war and roll to Berlin
Speaking of Swedish tanks, you should try SAV 20.12.48 too
5:34 it looks like his breech was open. So the pressure wave was able to travel down the barrel and into the turret.
gotta love the C&C generals sondtrack
5:37 He shot you, and his breech was still open, he was reloading.
I admire your optimism in thinking Gaijin cares enough to model that
Always have to make sure to get the popcorn for a new Spookston upload
At this point these videos are the only thing keeping me playing the game
4:10 the world's strongest palm bush in the middle of the bomb crater.
Love now when I look up Yudintsev brothers only your channel comes up..
nice video as always!
Yeah !!! Thanks for playing my request !
Just wanna say i love your War thunder content. Its actually super entertaining
I know you love light tanks, would love to see a vid with the M8 Greyhound! Keep up the good stuff!
Always love seeing Jim Lahey (John Dunsworth) falling down the stairs and managing to not spill a single drop of liquor
The guys using the derp br 1.0 German arti is such a troll but not in a bad way.
I do the same with the same exact tonk, and it is always funny af when u get that God mode achievement by randomly blind dropping a shell in the direction of the enemy spawn and it gets one of em.
those shells are massive
love the game and these references
Not sure if anybody else said it, but I think that bkan is best loaded with proxy shells only. On direct hits they work pretty much the same as the normal shells. I know that some claim they don't, but i could not see any difference. On the other hand, proxy shells are great for shooting approximate location and getting hidden light tanks. I love taking a random shot into a cap and exploding a hidden light tank. Also, with proxies, bkan becomes useful on hills. It's so satisfying taking it tanks that think they are hidden behind a depression. Finally, with only proxy shells, one is always ready for an aircraft.
I like the low velocity HE shells because over distances, they'll curve down and hopefully hit the roofs of the thing I fired upon. Whereas the high velocity ones kind of just go straight-ish and not curve down on a weak point, very inconvenient and inconsistent.
But that's just me after getting used to all the low velocity stuff. I love my high caliber HE lobers.
Obj. 120 HE lobbing is fun.
I do believe that Sturmpanzer is just farming God Modes for silver lions. Makes sense
That music is such a nostalgia hit.
i like the c&c general musik in back :)
that last plane lmfao! he probably had a heart attack when he saw you turn towards him! xD
Good old c&c generals USA theme during the vid, how nostalgic.
I love consistency of most BIG HE slingshots
Sometims its 1 shot one kill
Sometimes even splash kill
And then there are moments when your shell detonates st tip of enemy barrel not even making it yellow
I was the guy at 2:18 hiding in plain sight thanks for killing me with one of my favorite tanks in the game and then memeing it lmfao I’ll have you know I was two seconds away from destroying you with my FIAT heat shell!!!111!! Love the videos bro especially seeing you play some Swedes!
I think the proper role and all the power of these vehicles is to use them for their intended purpose as field artillery.
Stand behind a gentle hill, out of reach of others, and fire ammo with a proximity fuse at groups of vehicles, incapacitating several targets at once.
To achieve this, you first have to get tired and play like a tank destroyer until you research fuse ammo.
I saw my teammate play that with his G6. Not only that - he was also able to shoot down planes with ammunition with a proximity fuse.
Subbed just for the battlefield earth quote.
I love how you call this thing the Ban Cannon. Probably makes shooting that doomtube even more fun.
The fact I’ve somehow bounced 85mm shots off the side of this thing at 90 deg from 150m away kills me inside everytime, esp when spookston says ”This this is lightly armoured” 💀
Fun fact I learned after getting the bkan…. You can over pressure mbts by hitting there 50 cals. You can knock out the crew of a super Pershing by hitting the extra armor on the turret. Also you can knock out any tank by hitting there 50 cals
My frend's favorite tank is Bkan 1c and here is a tip from him "use proxy rounds because they behave just as normal HE but if the target is more than 300m away you can shoot over it and kill him"
I don't even play the game anymore and I look forward to these videos!
Just to let you know ,your doggy memes got me suscribed
The Bandkanon 1A and Artillerikanonvagn 151 should also be added. The later would make a nice event vehicle.
Spook you need to play the new AMX-50 (TO90/930)! It's legitimately my favorite French tank now, great for a player like yourself!
What suprised me the most when I played it was the survivability, this thing for some reason has the ability to just refuse to die
Oh, can't wait to one day see PzH 2000 and RH 2000 in the german tree.
Also, comment 1 for suggesting the Dicker Max SPG, my second favourite tank ever. Got 65% WR and a 2.0 KD in it (that's really good for me with average 0.8 to 1.0 KD). And regular 5+kill games.
Lmao mr Lahey at the beginning a man of culture i see
I love the Generals/Zero Hour soundtrack so much.
I'd love to see you do a video on the Crusader III, it's such a fun tank to me even though it only gets solid shot because the Brits thought solid shot was just as or more effective than APHE or something.
It was from what I know, apparently at least american APHE had a faulty fuse and a lot of the time didn't work, of course this isn't modeled in the game.
Solid shot was often more effective, and the way gaijin modeled APHE in the game isn't how it worked in realit6.
This was cool round
I hope they add animations to open top vehicles of the crew reloading the cannons
That aircraft kill was insane.
The added aromor on that pershing saved him from being one-shotted lol
I use it in my top tier lineup. The only derp gun you can use there without beeing useless after firing. maps with chokepoints and this thing is a monster
I love playing the Bkan 1C for anti-air.
Yay you played it.
Imagine if they added the Emil III with its 150mm autoloader and actual armor. The game would never recover.
Bkan is one of my favourites, the survivability is surprisingly high
spookton, best tactic on the howitzer with proxy fuzes.. is shoot above the tanks so the explosion goes down.. also proxy as minimum arming distance.. foundout that the hard way in Type 75 SPG
The "backup" is a far superior spa... instantly accessible, cheap to maintain, better at sending accurate shots from cover
"It fires very quickly"
Why does everything make me feel personally attacked
I have learned through extensive bombing of BKan's that it is not considered an "Open Top" vehicle. So if the plane doesn't hit you directly with the bombs, it ain't killin you.
Really amusing to watch
I'll never forget the first time I drew a bead on an approaching aircraft with a V/T round and saw the satisfying pop as he went down minus a wing. :D
