    War Thunder sometimes feels like a game dominated by a revolving door of overpowered vehicles, with one tank in particular making a very big impression. The Soviet ZSU-57-2 is a tank destroyer masquerading as an SPAA.

      I'm pretty sure that the "solid shot" rounds, were incorrectly implemented as APHE for the longest time, or Gaijin swaped the belts and implemented solid shot.
      Because I remember it only ever firing APHE.
      I found the report. Two years ago both rounds were identical and then one was changed to solid shot.
      So for someone who hasn't played the vehicle in a long time, they easily could miss that it now has a solid AP belt.

    My favorite thing about spookston is that he is somehow able to pinpoint a tank 500 meters Away, hidden behind 3 cars, 2 buildings and a corpse of a tank and then one shot it. Also that he is able to tell what kind of plane is hurling towards him based on 3 pixels.

    Fun drinking game for this video!
    Take a shot every time Spooks says 'smoked' and the two shots if he says 'absolutely smoked'.

    Spooks should play a double feature with the STA-1 and the STA-2 and see how it works out

    Read a book last night that said there were radar-equipped versions of this vehicle. Food for thought.

    you can actually drive through any of the glass doorways or holes in the walls of that building at 3:00, i learned that when I got pushed through the wall by a tiger who wanted to talk about my m36's extended warranty (he died from a mantlet pen point blank)

    The APHE, of which you never used, can pen the front mantlet of just about every tank. Including all the Tiger 2s.
