Gaijin Hates This Tank

The French Char 25t light tank seems to be hated by the War Thunder developers. In the most recent round of BR changes, it almost went up to 7.7, the same battle rating as Object 906 (which is better in almost every way). Even at its current placement, it can fight things like stabilized main battle tanks that it cannot engage frontally. It's a perfect example of why Gaijin should stop relying on pure statistics too much.

Gaijin Hates This Tank

[arlobones]

So fun, love the fact it was supposed to go to the same BR as the 906

[ariannanightingale]

I don't play the game but I find it fascinating that people learn revenge faster that playing the game itself

[CrazyDutchguys]

Another episode of "Spookston tries to convince his audience a tank is bad by killing the entire enemy team with it"

[vinyl_]

Love that spooky doesn't put a lot of stupid effects or memes and keeps it to a minimum. It makes the videos really enjoyable

[turtledovechen]

I think you should try the jagdtiger
It is very fast and nimble, nearly invisible to CAS, and have quite a fast reload
You will have a blast with it

[animetacoman]

thank you for playing the char 25t you made a french mains day today

[OvercastCoob]

It's funny how gaijin doesn't even want to give the french 7.X tanks their proper reload speeds, yet still seems to think they're too low

[gedigan]

12:40 "You are shooting a corpse, my friend, and I'm pretty sure it's a friendly one." has to be the best summary of WT teammates I've ever heard

[szymsonthatmemeguy]

2:09 To me the machine gun port is an eye, the gun is the nose and the space between the oscilating turret parts looks like a mouth

[sliced_kiwi]

6:36 The duality of Gaijin. The French players are good so their tanks get nerfed into the ground. Swedish players are good so their repair bill is jacked through the roof.

[Spidd]

the Char 25T would be spicy as fuck if it had its actual 4s reload instead of the artificially nerfed 6.7s it gets now, especially with the 12 round autoloader buff it got a wee while ago.

[darkninjacorporation]

The “Hydrogen Bomb vs. Coughing Baby” gets a solid laugh every time

[alexanderbenkendorf]

I would appreciate a video with explanations on how Spookston chooses routes, as i always face enemies and they notice me first, and Spookston seems to spook everyone from the back with little to no effort.

[portalowy]

You should play the Ratel 20, it's honestly not that bad and is kinda like a Marder A1 but wheeled (and bigger than a Centurion)

[lucienaras]

In general, people playing minors factions are often veterans who played the others 3 firstly and acquired some experience. So when they have their hands on a tanks which isn't absolute trash, they do better than most of the others players. Gaijin ways to balance vehicles purely on statics and not on performance will lead nowhere

[averywebb]

How insane is it that this tank is now at 8.0

[Tacitte]

As a french player it feels good to have someone showing how much the french tanks are nerfed compared to others.

Great video, keep up the good work ^^

[Commander]

In the modification tech tree on some tanks there is an air strike which allows reduced spawn points needed to spawn planes in realistic mode that's probably how they got the corsair

[Sky_EggYT]

I think you should try out the crusader II for the British tech tree. It is a low tier light tank, with a powerful APHE round that I find almost always one shots and has good pen for its BR. The turret if angled right can also bounce a couple rounds, although it can be penned frontally pretty easily. It’s a fun vehicle and I usually have a blast with it, getting upwards of 8 kills per match sometimes.
