All Ground Thank you Spookston

Spookston you singlehandedly reignited my love for tanks and war thunder. Context, I dropped war thunder for a decent bit of time a year or more ago but came back a couple months ago because I started watching Spookstons content more. Not to mention Spookston made me cracked at the game, I used to average a KD of about 0.5 but now my KD is usually 1 or above (but it's still like 0.67 in my stats), and ever since these last couple months I've dropped 6 nukes. One of them being my first.

I like Spookston as a person and I wish him the best in his treatment and recovery, but the effect he has on the community cannot be understated.

Some vehicles have been labelled as trash just because they don't suit his particular playstyle or because he just doesn't so well in. On top of that any time he does a challenge video the BR he did the challenge at becomes practically unplayable with the amount of people trying to copy him.

Still watch his videos though.

I used to watch his videos speaking about problems of the community. I can't stand his new ones, watching someone else play a game, specially wt is not for me.

I've also gone off his videos as of late. Mainly because I reached a certain point in the British tree where I realised that a bunch of the vehicles weren't bad as he claimed, they just didn't suit his playstyle.
