The German tech tree in War Thunder is filled to the brim with tank destroyers, but one of the funniest is the 8.8cm Flak or Flakbus. It's just a truck with a super overkill cannon, but it can do some work.

Not that late.

It's all good, man. Take care of yourself after your surgery
If you come across this comment, how long after you post do you look at the comments
My favorite part was when the Flakbus said "I am the Wunderwaffe" and broke down its transmission, absolutely a moment
Truly one of the moments of all time!
Wait was this a late war design?
never heard that one before
@@Stella-gm7bo No, the SdKfz 9 is a prewar design that was used to tow guns and as recovery vehicle for tanks (2500 were built). This 88 mm variant is from 1940. randommanchild112 basically made shit up.
@@FirstDagger yeah I mean it’s just an aa gun strapped to a truck. Not THAT complicated.
“Fighting the US is the worst, because there are always so many planes” really getting that German Soldier 1944-45 mindset
And if you spawn in a plane you will face 8 50. Cal AA guns on Shermans
At least the Germans have Pioneer spam.
@triko03 Let's not act like Germany doesn't have the best SPAA until top tier. Sure America has all these planes but you have to deal with backshots of 20/30mm the entire time.
@@InterstellarTaco german AA is op but every American tank has a fucking 50. Cal that can destroy any plane
@@triko03 it all balances out. Germany has far better tanks and AA for their BR and US has a lot of planes but weaker tanks with .50s
Seeing that you’ve never seen anybody get any flamethrower kills, I think it would be a really funny challenge for you to try and get a kill in the Churchill Crocodile, using the flamethrower. Good luck!
I got a kill against a ZSU with the TO-55. It was pretty funny because I was flaming him from behind a hill so he couldn't do anything about it.

The Allies: "We have Shermans, Comets, T-34s, and more"
Germany in 1945: "Hans, we put ze 88 millimetre on ze truck, ja?"
I don’t want to be “that guy”, but this vehicle was designed in 1940 and the Germans used centimeters to refer to the caliber, not millimeters
@@yarnickgoovaerts Even better: It was meant to be used against the Maginot Line...but "development" took too long.
@@arnoldkearimal it was used against the Maginot line. More specifically the weaker part on the french/Belgian border. That’s why they had AP shells when they faced the french heavy tanks
Spookston: "I dont think I've seen somthing die from a flamthrower"
Me: "You should get the kill with the flamtrower"
It’s actually really easy at low tier
I got killed by flamethrower. Got smoked by TO55 (the premium Russian tank) when I was in ZDB (the Chinese AA).
There was a Panzer III variant with a flamethrower. Imagine how fun that would be at 2.3-3.0...

@@Pittoors_ That is what it is. Just not used as that in War Thunder
@@Pittoors_because it isnt. Flak stands for anti air CANNON. The flarakrad has no cannon. Thats why the K in flak is missing
Man, I wish you could switch ammo in the breach without having to fire the round. It would make these type of vehicles so much more fun.
Not historically accurate 🤓
@@undefinedxx55 Huh
@@undefinedxx55it literally is. You just open the breech lmao
@@marshall1896 No, you don't. It's in tanker manuals that it is dangerous to do so and usually the breech is empty until combat and you should fire off the round if you want to switch the shell.
Modern tanks are probably different but back then yeah you don't do that.

It's way better than him just complaining about it.

Attempt number 40 at getting Spookston to play any tank with a dozer blade, the catch is, he has to dig in before engaging targets. Movement around the map is allowed, but he has to dig in again before reengaging.
Spookston really doesn’t want to do this. But He’s still hearting every of your comments 😂
Have mercy on him.
@@aleksbestmusic6903bro has pinned the comment for the past week but still won’t do it lmao

I heard it was terrible, but it turned out to be pretty good, being small and having a fast reload. In sim it is kinda op even

I absolutely love this goblin, tiny powerful 75 slaps

your wish will come true
I sincerely hope spookston never plays this vehicle 🙏
You don't seem very French they love to surrender
Two wacky US TDs I wish were in the game are the T56 and T57 GMCs. Which are prototype tank destroyers produced in September of 1942, both were based on an M3A3 Stuart chassis and were armed with the same 76mm gun as the M10 and it uses the same mounting as the T55E1.
The T56 would later have a gun shield fitted to it, while the T57 was never fitted with one and used the same engine as the M3 Lee. Both were cancelled/abandoned in February of 1943.
Now these would be perfect, I'd play them.
These would be pretty cool. Hope they get added at some point although gaijin seems to be only focusing on top tier at the moment. Kind of unrelated but both of these tanks used to exist in wot the t57 was removed some years ago and the t56 is still in the game.
So basically, the Zis-30 but 🦅🦅 versions
Probably faster
Thank you spookston for entertaining me countless of hours each time you post a new video I smile keep up the good work😊
damn skill wise this is the best video in a while, juicy shots
Wait until they add the actual Flakbus, the 88 mounted on a Vomag Bus Chassis, 20 or so were built.
It'll probably get added long before America gets a 6.0 AA
10:11 I'm a huge fan of old jeeps and plan to get one some day, but I was so happy to hear that someone else would want to see one with one of those big cannons on it, there is also one with a recoilless rifle that could also be added
13:03 guy spawned a Yak after you killed his IL. You took ur revenge twice lol
Was playing the IS-3 and got Sands of Sinai. Spawned in the lower right spawn and an uptiered flakbus spawned in the top left spawn. We could see each other from just outside our spawn and started a battle between a thing that couldn't pen me from that distance and a tank that could annihilate it but I couldn't get the range right so it was the most useless fight ever
> quite vulnerable to the air
>literally an AA gun
>literally useless against fighters or close range targets
>literally no protection from above for most of the crew
It'd be a shame if Gajin didn't remove it's one main ability by making AA shells useless.
Well long range strategic AA not something meant to defend against CAS.
The 88 main purpose was anti-bomber, not for shooting down fast CAS
Too bad that low tier aa is completly broken
This video upped the "Every time Spookston got CAS'ed 2024" counter for sure
Playing the flak bus is one giant and never ending game of would you rather. Engine vs ammo.
To make the HE-VT work you have to pre designate a range by range find while using the HE-VT shell and then shoot at the plane when it’s at or just before that pre designated distance.
The thing is this isn't HE-VT ammunition which has a proxi fuze, This is ammunition Distance/Time fuze HE-DF/HE-TF.
Spookston done goofed here.

Remember when FlakBus had a 4 second reload? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
I watched this after having neck surgery, and it definitely helped cure my boredom of being in recovery. Thanks for the video, Spookston!
Wooooooo, flakbus is flakbest!
The biggest problem with this "Tank" is the fact you can't manually set the "time" fuze.
You have to use the rangefinder to set the fuse
@@TheEpicNoob I know... hence my comment, the fact that I cant manually set it, ruins the experience.
i think they said they're gonna add the ability to set them manually.
But that is kinda accurate. They set the fuse once and the rounds get lobbed to the predetermined height (range), they wouldn't change it , and they didn't actually aim at a plane very often. Other flak batteries would be lobbing to different ranges, higher or lower, so the overall effect was a consistent "box" of flak bursts the planes had to fly through.
Imagine a number 2 on the gun trying to adjust the range of every shell to counter the movement of a plane traveling north of 200 mph, 10-20,000 feet up.... it would be slow, clunky and ineffective, just as it is in game now.
Quick reaction and adjusting of aim was done by the faster firing, smaller caliber flak guns
These early timed fuzes are like the flamethrowers and dozer blades, useful tool IRL, but in-game just a gimmick that's not really effective.
Press R
I love the moment where spookston say he hate CAS and the proceed to CASing every
Spookston getting better with planes as a result of wanting revenge on CAS users is hilarious
Spookston ground striking anti air: Clean kills no fuss
When i try to do it: Every enemy anti air channels their inner phalanx cwis to put a wall of lead between me and them
Zzrrrrrt
You should do the „One in the Chamber“ challenge using the (finnish) Charioteer Mk. VII: For every target, you only get one shot. If you get a kill, you can go on to the next target. If you only get a crit or do nothing, you have to consider your gun empty and move to a predetermined area (e.g. a cap) to get your next shot. Of course this would be easy with APHE or big HE, thats why I said you should use the Charioteer (I didn’t want to go to evil on you, and the 20 pdr is actually quite potent). But if you want, you can of course use any other solid shot (or heat for that matter, if it’s small caliber it still won’t always oneshot if aimed incorrectly) vehicle (or you can use solid shot instead of a vehicles APHE).

Video 9 of asking Spookston to play the TO-55
Day twelve of asking Spookston to play the SU-100 (The one based on the T-34).
@spookston at 1:51 you said that you’ve never seen anything get killed by a flame thrower. Jokes on you my first game in the crocodile I killed a flakbus with the flame thrower. Now DAY 1 of challenging you to kill something with the flame thrower on the crocodile
Not seen anything die to a flame thrower? I think it's time Spookston plays the Crocodile!
It's evident that Spook doesn't play planes much by his landings lmao
Honestly playing CAP in ground realistic is so enjoyable
He doesn't play them much, but he's remarkably good at flying them
Enjoy playing cas in ground battles? What else do you do in your free time, seal clubbing?
@@dinochookproductions5190 CAP would not be a spelling error here, it means Combat Air Patrol.
@@dinochookproductions5190 no I like to read, I can teach you aswell if you like. CAP has a P and CAS has a S which maks all the difference
@dinochookproductions5190 He said CAP, which stands for Close Air Patrol, A.K.A he uses planes to shoot down planes, when Playing Japan at 5.7, I grab A7M2 Reppu for this. And the J7W1 Shinden if i'm playing 6.0
1:49 “I’ve never seen die to a flamethrower in the game” try and get a kill while only being able to use fire and you can’t use the main cannon
I want to see him suffer it’ll be funny
"fighting the US is the worst because there always *so* many planes" - everyone who has ever fought the US ever.
spookston: never seen a tank die to a flamethrower

22nd time challenging Spookston to bring the Char 25t into an 8.3 lineup, and then incrementally increase the BR to find when the tank becomes unironically unplayable.
Day 204 of asking Spookston to play the ST-A3, day 102 + day 86 + day 59 after getting my comment liked by Spookston
Blud is truly dedicated
One of the best 6.7 tanks iam currently grinding japan and the ST-A3 is great
First day of asking Spookston to play the T114. It’s a pretty interesting looking vehicle.
Ah wonderful, I have been requestimg this one for a while. Super goofy vehicle, the long chassis makes it almost useless in CQC while its exposed crew makes it an easy target in open fields. But it's still fun to one-tap pretty much any enemy vehicle.
love it

more dog memes pls. i love the audio memes over gameplay to keep things flowing, but esp before cuts or transitions a dachsund is needed.
Spookston pls play T55-AMD1
Day 22 of PLEADING for Crom 1 gameplay
Spookston genuinely surprised when his Kraut 88 works effectively as AA
Flamethrower is the newest edition to the "spookston encounters a gameplay mechanic never previously mentioned or observed and talks about it nonchalantly" list. The other one that surprised me was the ability of some vehicles to manipulate the terrain like a bulldozer
I love how 90% of this video is like "I got 57 more god dam rounds in this 4 round magazine" *loads a round into the gun, then proceeds to explode as I get hit in the leg*
the meme at the beginning was your best so far and is too accurate hahah
Attempt 25 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.
Can't wait to get my new gaming laptop and play like you
Respect Spookston WE MUST FEED THE SNAIL MORE
Man the flaKbus and the breda 501 used to be my arch nemisis 💀
Lol Spookston finally did a video on my favourite thing in the game :D
Historically, probably the best anti tank gun man has ever know. Ask the Allies in WW2. Keep up the good work. You definitely tops now for a WT fix.
Nice jingles landing, Spookston!
15cm SiG at top tier would be very fun I think, 300-ish m/s velocity, suffering at long range.
The sonic drowning music was so well-placed
the heavenly duo can't be missing 1 so milk truck next Please!!!
And now we know why we're thankful that Spookston doesn't like aircraft. He'd destroy enemy CAS for breakfast.
I remember when this thing was first added because I stopped playing war thunder shortly after. It was a glass cannon for the br and at first German players had no idea that their ammo rack was in that box compartment so it was always easy to ammo rack them and this was a time before over pressure existed however it still worked for open tops and it was always a blast that knock one out with HE. From my memory it definitely got power crept because they added a lot more vehicles/nations when I returned.
"I don't think I've ever seen something die to a flamethrower in this game" You know what we want to see you do now, I hope
I played this for a brief time a few years ago and it was hands down some of the most fun I had have in my entire War Thunder career.
I do remember playing the 8,8 cm one time a few years ago on the Maginot Line map. Hiding in the town, a PBY flew over and I just lobbed shell after shell. I finally had an APHE hit him in the wing and only got a "hit", felt good about that shot.
This thing is definitely best at just holding down a single road or point where the enemy doesn't expect you
I love the revenge saga Spookston is on with his planes
The way that the timed fuse works is that you use the range finder to select a distance that you want the shell to explode. Then it explodes once it reaches that distance.
3:03
Spookston: Is that a tank?
Me: Is that a Bob Semple?
Literally everyone else: Shaking their damned heads.
The halo sounds fit so well. Looking forward to the Scorpion video
"Never seen something die to a flamethrower in this game" If that isn't an invitation to do a Churchill Crocodile video I don't know what is man. This is video 6 of asking for a Churchill.
Spook- historically, that 88 had better depression when aimed anywhere but over the cab.
"please let this be a normal field trip ....with the flak bus?..NO WAY!!!"
Great vid
This is particularly fun with a few friends camping in obscure locations that are hard to see from the air, and then lobbing HEVTs at aircraft. Heavy bombers especially do not like flak clouds.
One year and 88 days of asking for the Foch. (I'm very pleased with the fact that the days thematically match the content of the video, since it's about the flak 88)
Spookston adverb dictionary consists solely of "absolutely" and "utterly"
I like when Spookston pretends to be unsure about a vehicles stats, and then proceeds to be bang on. Have some confidence my man.
The star wars seismic charge sound will never get old
My absolute favorite ground vehicle in game
Given your knack for somehow attracting every single CAS player's attention in almost every match, I for one am perfectly content to watch you take a fighter up to give them a bit of counter-tomfoolery.
spookston: commits involuntary inverted landed
also spookston: I'd call that a successful landing
Spookston becoming a CAS main is the vilian arc I can really get behind
13:26
You have become the very thing you swore to destroy.
I know you just played the T95, but I had a really silly idea. Try and uptier the T95 (or T28) to 10.0+ and try to get a kill with it, if you can get a kill go nuts and try killing more than one. Love your content, keep up the amazing work, hope your recovery is going well!
The Flak Bus on my birthday!? Oh Spookston you shouldn’t have!
