The Tank Everyone Fears

The infamous M4A3E2 Sherman Jumbo heavy tank needs no introduction to veterans of the War Thunder community. It is known for terrorizing low tier tanks before being moved up in battle rating by Gaijin, but it still dominates.

The Tank Everyone Fears

[kimjanek]

The Jumbo is like bringing a knife to a gun fight, except you're in some armored power suit.

7:05 man this gets me,
“Maybe we can mark it for a plane.”
- Spookston moments before disaster

[YukitoOnline]

I'll say it again from Spook's old Jumbo video:
*"There's nothing more satisfying than seeing an enemy panicking at the fact they shot a Jumbo, and it's still moving & aiming it's gun at them"*

[abitofapickle]

The fact the Jumbo is quite literally a stop gap tank makes peoples angry reactions to it even better.

[FatherGrigori]

Shermans are probably some of the most enjoyable tanks to play, let alone the jumbo. Jumbo my beloved

[dogonaleashwhatelsecouldit]

tip for dealing with kv-85's and kv-122's: on the hull sides just below the turret, there is a decently sized 45mm plate that can be penned by just about everything at that br and lower (works when said kv tank attempts to angle, in the process exposing those weakspots).

[Sleyzer]

Spookston is best because he sounds so calm when he is really dying inside.

[LugborG]

I’m gonna be honest, your experience with the jumbo’s armor is wildly different from mine. People usually go straight through the hull mg port.

[MrSquigglies]

I do want you to know that your consistent use of the command and conquer general's theme has inspired me to relive my childhood and I am currently working on all of the generals challenges in zero hour

[AM_Zachary]

We gonna mention that he was in a game with Voyager? Or are we just gonna skip over that? 5:48

[jacobarbenius]

Day 7: You should play any of th cv90 they have good moblity and a powerful 40mm cannon along with having apfds as starting rounds plus it has he-vt

[JHCuero]

I remember when it was 4.7, one of the tanks I did well in when I was still new to tanks because the vehicle itself just carried me

[joaoemeri]

As a German main I can confirm I have nightmares with the jumbo

Edit: I just unlocked the jumbo and it slaps

[Ransom]

I love how spookston just shoots the T-34-85s barrel staright down the middle and is just casual.

[Squeaky_Ben]

Once again asking Spookston to give the DF105 a shot.
It is not a bad tank and fits his playstyle nicely.

[lightninglash]

Yeah I agree that the field upgrade kit would be a good add-on, and while I'm against adding Premiums, I'm shocked they never added the Thunderbolt VII as a premium. It's the add on armor kit one but commanded by the guy the Abrams is named after.

[Rorywizz]

The day that I non-penned the front of this with a Charioteer APDS is the day I learned to fear it

[americanhat]

Why does no one take smoke shells with the jumbo?? Like seriously the Jumbo with Smoke shells is absurdly good because you can blind anyone and stop people from shooting at you till you get closer.

Edit: 13:35 YES!

[NeonicFusso]

There's a bug exactly on the sherman 75 right now (there could be more, idk) that basically overpressures tanks by shooting where the turret and cannon is connected, which is an absolutely ridiculous bug. You should maybe check

[asmodean]

Loving the videos Spookston! I always look forward to another one coming out!
