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.

    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

    a billion trillion universes have formed already, but there is still no video of spookston playing the ro-go exp
  • 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"
  • @WetBung
    Spookston: “I don’t recommend taking a tank past its original B.R” The snail: “fine. I’ll do it myself.”
  • @andrewmencer916
    Finally Spookston in a vehicle that cannot be bombed by anything less than a 8000 lb bomb
  • @hernanmme520
    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

    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!"
  • 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.

    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)

    CAS: WHY WONT YOU DIE!? 279: soviet engineering, son
