Skink SPAA on "Drone Age" Dev Server - War Thunder
In this video I hop onto the dev server to take a look at the new Canadian Skink SPAA, being introduced to the British tech tree in the upcoming "Drone "Age" update for War Thunder.
Overall this vehicle is very good, giving British teams an SPAA somewhat akin to the Wirbelwind, while being superior in many aspects and helping to close the gaping hole between the Ystervark and Falcon in the SPAA line.

00:00hello everybody toreno here and today i'm
undefined:undefined00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,120
undefined:undefined3
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbritish self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicles
00:21because before this we had the crusader mark 1
undefined:undefined00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,120
undefined:undefined7
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedonly one gun so really there was a vehicle needed
00:42to fill this gap between the easter vark and the
undefined:undefined00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,120
undefined:undefined11
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedroughly the same as the previous orlicans
01:02now the best vehicle to compare this to will
undefined:undefined00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,120
undefined:undefined15
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfast and for the vertical it can do -4 degrees
01:23to plus 77 degrees so while it can't fire directly
undefined:undefined00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,120
undefined:undefined19
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcan put out a lot of firepower and has only
01:49a very short reload time so this is going to be
undefined:undefined00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,120
undefined:undefined23
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthis fully enclosed turret and it sort of differs
02:13all over the turret but if we look at the steps
undefined:undefined00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,120
undefined:undefined27
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedi can't find it now so i'm assuming it's been
02:33fixed but yeah there was just an area up here
undefined:undefined00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,120
undefined:undefined31
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis because we only have a 568 horsepower engine
02:59we compare that to the sherman 2 and 620 so while
undefined:undefined00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,120
undefined:undefined35
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbe the end of the world you shouldn't be
03:25dashing about all over the battlefield and if
undefined:undefined00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,120
undefined:undefined39
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthis isn't a anti-tank vehicle it'll do good
03:48in a pinch against slightly armored vehicles
undefined:undefined00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,120
undefined:undefined43
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineda coaxial machine gun but that seems somewhat
04:07unlikely considering we've got four 20 millimeter
undefined:undefined00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,120
undefined:undefined47
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthickness around 47 to 50. depending on the angle
04:29and is far superior on the turret of course
undefined:undefined00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,120
undefined:undefined51
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand of course the flak 38 has 800 rounds per gun
04:54rather than the 400 odd for the skink and it also
undefined:undefined00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,120
undefined:undefined55
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedvertical so it's not quite as fast firing and
05:19doesn't carry as much ammunition per gun before
undefined:undefined00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,120
undefined:undefined59
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtell us what the explosive content is there so uh
05:40so i can't say which is more effective on the high
undefined:undefined00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,120
undefined:undefined63
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwe've got another canadian vehicle i do hope
06:02that as time goes on gaijin will start adding
undefined:undefined00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,120
undefined:undefined67
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfor once i get to the relevant tiers like
06:21i say i'm just really glad it's been added to
undefined:undefined00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,120
