The Most Awful Tank In War Thunder

Swedish tanks are often pretty fun, especially at lower tiers. The Pvkv IV breaks that mold by being awful in every sense.

The Most Awful Tank In War Thunder

[biotoxin]

Having apds being so unpredictable mostly with British tanks ( oddly enough Japanese apds is some of the best I have used) has made 7.7 Britain painful with the conqueror being the most inconsistent tank I have ever used.

The Pvkv IV is admittedly a box of suffering, but I'm over here still dumbfounded as to how they did the Pvkv III as dirty as they did... It's literally an open topped TD with worse gun handling AND pen than the M4A1 it now shares a br with...
The Pvkv II somehow manages to be the only good tank of the series despite how clunky it and it's lineup is.
Minor tech tree life.

Shell inconsistency has gotten so much worse. In my 2S3M, the 10kg HE will either do nothing or everything, the HEAT detonates on mosquitoes, the APHEBC disappears inside vision blocks, and the HE-VT is fused at a distance that's poor at both ground and air attack

“He’s not playing very intelligently” the 2.7 in question

[chicanamaoist]

sweden actually had a king tiger funnily enough, it was post war and they used it as a range target but they had it

[SemoventeDa]

Hey Spook, you should play the Semovente 75/46 M43. It's a deeply overshadowed italian tank destroyer which can deliver an heavy punch but it's deeply ignored the potential it has. I am not gonna surrender in proposing this. I AM NOT GONNA SURRENDER, BE CLEAR! I A M N O T B A C K I N G O F F!

Love the content, you mentioned that the concept 3 was fast and had a good cannon. As such I would be interested in seeing you giving the vehicle its own video, considering your history with fast flanking vehicles. Thanks.

[JTJSSG]

Apds is pretty odd, it either one shots or fails to kill even a single dude, and of course ‘shell shattered’

Edit: thank you all for my first 100 likes comment.

Spookston: Brings APHE for dealing with lightly armored/easy to kill enemies

Also Spookston: Doesn't use a single round of it in all 4 of his matches (instead uses like 5 apds rounds)

Also, you should carry on with the suffering streak and play another pvkv, the pvkv 2, with arguably the worst gun handling in the game

[zanaduz]

When I ground out this vehicle, I ended up using the APHE as my primary shell; low-caliber APDS is very inconsistent with shell shatters or pathetic post-pen damage. Swedish mains should already know that by this point in the tech tree, as they have several tanks before the Pvkv IV that also have APDS with absurd penetration values for the tier (the Swedish Pz.38, for example).

APDS is mostly worthless in my book at calibers under 90mm.

[nickisoof]

You should try the Japanese tiger, its a premium called heavy tank no.6 or something and its basically a tiger E but without german teammates

[Major_Bomber]

great video, as usual :)

a good recommendation I would like to recommend is the T-V, sense you do like rare vehicles (if you do have it)

[kirishima]

And the crewman chuckling when the round does sweet f-all adds extra insult to injury.

[celi]

Spookston, I think you should try the American M2A2. It's crazy fast, and it goes through most things at its BR. It's not as bad as it looks.

[WoopersDad]

I personally just spaded that thing with the APHE, yeah sometimes it was tricky penning but the post pen damage was worth it in my opinion

[ToQuosious]

Its a wonder how Spookston is not depressed after playing all these depressing tanks.

[Kuschel_K]

It’s on the chassis of a light tank, yet it’s somehow classed as medium tank, when even a Pz IV seems like a heavy in comparison.

[FatherGrigori]

I was actually kinda excited for this thing too. Then I played it. It's turret traverse is so bad :( Hope you have a good Thanksgiving boys

[lukaf]

4:50 🤓 Actually, the red ammo here wasn't a lie - the previous shots hit the front row of ammunition, while this shot managed to wriggle into the second row, which was untouched as of then.

[flipallthetables]

You should play the T20. The mobility was buffed in a recent update and it feels a lot better to drive.
