The American M48 Chaparral is one of the new vehicles added with the recent war thunder update. It's an anti-air vehicle with essentially ground-launched AIM-9 sidewinder missiles. It is not great.

This Tank Is Pure Suffering
Basically, it would be good if the missiles weren’t superelevated and if you could uncage the seeker. Right now it doesn’t work against anything flying towards you or maneuvering in the slightest, and can’t lock helicopters unless they are around 2-3km away. The York is just better. Also the MBT-70’s round is, unfortunately, correct as it is now. However the meme still applies because XM885 is still missing like 40% of its penetration 🙂
wait what’s caging a missile?
Hey you probably don’t want to make a video of this but just for laughs currently the amx 32 105 shoots tow missiles from its Machine gun at an incredibly high rate of fire. I don’t know if it does it in a match I can only test-drive it right now.
@Spookstoncheck out the new event award😂
I think the only AA wirh very Good IR missilee is The Strela From russian 9.3
@Paul Dyou realize it has all-aspect missiles right?
The XM-803 and MBT-70 used the XM578 round, which had several E designations for different materials and propellant configurations, as iterations usually do. The round performance in game isn’t historically accurate. There’s an inaccuracy report on the bug reporting forums that got support and has the actual document detailing the round and its testing showing it outperforming where it is in the game right now. They had it pretty close to exactly right before the last nerf.
As you can probably imagine, it was completely ignored by Gaijin. Actual FOIA’d document showing the XM578 round’s testing results, dimensions, speed, etc. Nope, Gaijin knows better.
*Its like the F- 16C. When I got it I noticed the pilot is still wearing Vietnam Era gear. Definitely need to update models to the attire their supposed to have*
So you now know how the German aaa weisel is.
Besides locking helis and drones I think IR missiles are superior post spaa nerf. Even the pantsir drives me insane with its bullshit radar glitches and spazzing out.
that infared reticle is actaully broken atm its not supposed to be below the aiming reticle like that.
Can u make a vid of the new usa helicopter, nobody made a vid of it yet so id like to see your experience in it
Not only do you have to identify with ears and eyeballs, could you imagine doing this in real life when there’s no giant red “ENEMY” attached to the bad guys?
“Is that one of ours? Are you _suuuuure?”_
What sidewinders do these use? L?
MIM-72A
Oh my dear god those are _Dees,_ Sidewinder Ds! 😂
OK, yeah, they are the best rear-aspect Sidewinders, next is the L.
They are the fastest, longest range and hardest turning Rear-Aspects but they are still _Rear-Aspect_
No wonder they just give up, when the target turns they vanish. Maybe something in there explains why they don’t work against helicopters?
Chopper exhausts are mixed enthusiastically with ambient atmospheric air by the down draft of the main blades.
AIM-9Ls don’t rely on the difference between hot exhaust and the ambient air but the aircraft skin temperature and the ambient air, which the down draft can only partially hide.
MIM-72B
Ah, the 1974 Chaparral used AIM-9Ls though.
MIM-72G
The 1980s Chaparral included the sensor from the Sidewinder missile launcher and the latest Sidewinder seeker with its uncaged wide aspect and flare rejection technology.
MIM-72E and G use the smokeless motor.
From reading about them, watching this video and listening to you, these missiles sound like MIM-72As (AIM-9D)
really simple…they make money on P2W CAS planes and all these wallet warriors would cry if single SPAA from this BR would work correctly. We all know gaijin dont give a damn about playerbase….also they are too busy with trees right now, since thats what gaijin thinks we need….wonder how many epileptic seisures it engaged…..
I knew as soon as I saw this quite shitty looking spaa spookston would be making a video for it first, waiting for the 🅱️IDAR video
Yeah gaijin, again making another shitty spaa just because of somehow bad programming tbh 😐
Day 20: please play the M19A1
Luckily, I skipped this piece of shit by getting the LAV before the update
Spookston every time a plane committed face plant: Okey 🙂
Day 30 of asking spookston to play the russian t-35
Are these missiles really caged?
12:45 I totally didn’t hear the effect your played for that wingless jet. What I heard was
_LEEERROOOOOOOOOOOOY JENKINNNNNNNNNNNNNNS_
4:41 lmfao i be playing claso royale or clash of clans while i fly to bases or fields in air rb or sim
14:00 the late hinds have IRCM pods on the rear, basically laser dazzlers. You would have been able to lock him from the front but not from the rear.
Day four of doing ten push-ups everytime Spookston gets CAS’d.
more dodgeball sound effects plz, had me rollin when it was used this vid xD
You know what isint suffering?
DAS KUGELBLITZ
rare enjoyable spookston vid.
the american is using MIM72C the israeli MIM72G, maybe that makes a difference?
this thing make m247 felt like a god-send
the israeli version is actually better
They’ve since fixed it so the seeker actually follows the cursor, i’ve been having some really good games with it since the change.
Lmao as bad as it is you made me want to grind it
day 22 of asking spookston to play the amx50 foch
Im 1 aaa form getting it
those helis have ircm that’s why u couldn’t track
The seeker is aimed so low to force you to raise the weapon. It lets the missiles be shot up and out
I.M.P.
Also, yeah, thankfully Hinds are MASSIVE targets and therefore easy to lock.
how tf did you delete that missile and force that reload
aim9X??? no they used a aim9L/M as a ATGM
The maps are too small, for example, in GHPC the maps are 6km squared. in WT, a big map is just over 2km squared. On many occasions I have seen team mates get destroyed right at the spawn because of the minimal cover. Especially at the high tier when guys are moving with apfsds, stabilizers and laser range finders.
Gaijin. Patriot or nothing. And i won’t accept nothing.
you understand that a tank is shit when spookston make 2-3 kill
lmao the dcs frog foot audio gave me flashbacks
You should play the amx-10m the atgms haul ass
Day 6 of asking for new Sweden low tier Pvkv IV
cant u radar lock them as well so the ir doesnt suck as bad? like eith the ozelot.
Is not a tank 😅
Best laughs that I’ve had for a while!
weird vics are cool but there often not great
Chaparral? Que carajos?
Hmmm. Big ears.
i see why in Tunisia we went to defensive interception ( with Fighters ) instead of that
J’ai fais une game avec, un monstre anti air 4-0 🤣🤣
