- There are two things that are likely to amaze you about todays' video and one of them is that I managed to fit that title into the thumbnail.
The more eagle-eyed amongst you may also have noticed the image of the Graf Zepellin in the thumbnail from the WOWS Wiki features a navalised Ju-87, not a Ta-152. Yeah. Funny. that.

He lost because his team just sat at spawn in utter shock of what they're witnessing
they were sitting in spawn because 2/3 DDs on their team are having sex with the Graf Zepelin on the edge of the map. Im pretty sure his team was pissed off at this.
I would blame the lack of vision actually. No eyes on the sky and 2 of the destroyers aren't sailing around finding stuffs for BB to shoot at.
@@kaleidoscope3234 There was no lack of vision. There were plenty of enemies spotted for the GZ to shoot at, the team could've shot them as well.
@@kaleidoscope3234 Then drive your damn steel boat closer.
@@Cnupoc
To be honest I as a battleship player wouldn't complain much. I would just get close to that Graf Zeppelin and fuck up with my main guns what Graf Zeppelin's secondaries cannot reach. And also I would draw some of the damage my way in order to make that Graf Zeppelin survive longer.
Yuro's gonna have a stroke when he see's this one .
:)))) Was thinking the same thing.
That being said, probably Daniel Rusev would very much approve of this :P
@Wyatt Jessup CV camped in the Smoke lol
At the beginning, I thought it was Yuro...
@@VUO4E Nah, then it would have been a GZ with 2 Musashis, the Meme 899 division.
@@JainZar1 nah yuro would have the 2 Musashi first 1 Punch the enemy CV then move in with the 2 dd as escort and melt them with Graf Zeppelin secondaries
the Graf Zeppelin:
A battlecruiser with planes
Fun fact a number of Carrier's were simply flat tops on top of what was a cruiser or in a few cases Battleship Hulls. Midway ironically is a Montana in Disguise even though she was built from the ground up as a carrier she has design influences that was to be used on the Montana Class Battleship.
@@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent Yep. I believe the earliest British CVs were converted from light cruiser hulls (the Courageous-class), and of course the Amagi we have in-game began life as an actual battlecruiser before the 1920s naval treaties made further construction impossible. It was meant to be converted to an aircraft carrier IRL, but was heavily damaged during the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and ended up being scrapped. Its sister ship, the Akagi, did finish conversion and went on to have quite an active career in WWII.
And I believe Graf Zeppelin was a converted ocean liner?
@@voidwalker3109 No she was all carrier from keel laying, and drawing board. The Italian Aquiliea(?) was a converted ocean liner. Course the GZ went through numerous design..."enhancements" while on the slipways. So it really is a frankenship.
@@voidwalker3109 Really wish we had Akagi in the game.
@@esaualfaro3447 I want the IJN Ise and/or IJN Hyuga battlecarriers. Preferably with a two-hull "upgrade" (one as a standard battleship and one in their battlecarrier configuration.)
Not gonna lie, that would be awesome. :D
Cap: Full steam ahead!
Crew: Sir, we are in an Aircraft Carrier.
Cap: Full. Steam. AHEAD!!!!!
ready the guns...pilots take a nap

This is what happens when you put a man famous for commanding an infamous battleship in the most famous hunt for a warship in history in command of an aircraft carrier.

Funny thing, this is more or less how germany envisioned the graf working. Her air group would scout and soften escorts, then she would close and finish the convoy with guns. Its why she has such a strong "secondary" battery, it was a main.
@@ronaldthompson4989 Not really... Her air group (consisting of Ju87 divebombers, Bf-109 fighters and Fi-167 topedobombers) would be her primary offensive weapon (just like any other carrier).
Germans never really thought: "Hey, let's slap secondaries on it so we can go on the offensive with them" (maybe some thought so but it wasn't how they envisioned the Zep)...
They knew the threat surface ships could pose to the Graf Zeppelin so that's why they gave her the secondaries, so that She wouldn't be helpless.
You don't want to have your carriers be spotted in the first place, so why would they suddenly go like: "Hey, why not use this ship as a battlecarrier!!"?
They just knew that having the Zep be spotted at some point is inevitable, so they gave her the defensive capability in case she came under attack.
@@FinlayDaG33k Ronald's actually right, Her aircraft were going to be used to chase down convoys that were out running her.
You read that right CONVOYS.
THE NAZI'S IN ALL THEIR "AYRAN SUPREMACY" WERE GOING TO USE A AIRCRAFT CARRIER (A rather poorly designed one I MUST add) AS A CONVOY RAIDER.
@@Lone_Wolf_Radio I can't find anything on it though.
All I can find is saying that she was "designed to be able to defend herself against surface combatants should such cases arrive" and using supporting cruisers for actual offensive actions in order to keep the carriers (there were 4 zeppies planned at first) away from the risk of damage or sinking from surface action.
Just a side note: when the graf zeppline was first introduced into WoW it did infact have Stuka dive bombers
I imagine they are probably going to reuse the Stukas in the planned German CV line, because that's apparently a thing they had in WW2
@@Nutty31313 They didn't have the Kurfurst or FDG either. Plus a tech tree just had to happen eventually so that the KM CV captains from GZ can be finally useful.
@@Sonlirain 2 ships in a line that weren't built is one thing, but an *entire* line? Even the RU BB line had a couple of real ships, even if they were only up to t4.
Also the FDG (H-39) was laid down, but never finished construction, so it's not quite as bad as a purely blueprint ship.
That said, at least it's a purely fiction German CV line rather than a Russian one.
@@Nutty31313 buddy, they have more then 100 made up russian tanks in wot, but you complain about ONE made up german cv line?
@@Drache191200 Not really complaining, in fact I'm curious about how they will do and whether they will actually be good.
I just find it strange that they have decided to make a German CV line before for example an Italian BB or DD line, a USN BB line split, a RN BC line, stuff that actually existed and people are asking for, rather than stuff they are pulling out their ass. Also it's partially getting tired of the blueprint ships that WG has released over the last year and has in development, especially a new CV line with new mechanics when most of the current CVs are already pretty broken and WG doesn't seem to notice or care.
Lexington: "NOOOO! YOU CAN'T JUST RUSH IN AND SECONDARY BRAWL AS AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER!"

yes he fokin can
@@aceorcusham2870 The irony is that the Lexy cant win a sec fight because she is in her late 30ties retrofit config. Originally she had 4x2x203mm guns infront and behind the island which ware later replaced by 128mm dual purpose gun mounts (which are useless in this game). What is even more stupid is that this is not Lexington , that is late war Saratoga retrofit. Lexi never got them as she got sunk pre-Midway (she only had AA mounts).
Out of all meme builds that have ever memed this is the memiest
idk... triple shima with 20km torps on widespread only was pretty up there
@@jamesschrady3368 I wish they still had Kitakami in game.......40 shima torps per ship at T8 was just something else.
Tokisaki Kurumi i heard the reason why it was removed was because it had more team kills than enemy kills
@@flallana18 Not entirely improbable, though I'd want it back even despite that.
@@MajinOthinus id want it back back BECAUSE of that.
graf zep needs to be reclassified as a battlecarrier
she is semi officially classified as a Cruiser Carrier
Have to love the realism of carriers in this game. Just like real life, they sink battleships with their secondary weapons while their aircraft are just a nuisance.
A 40k meme in the title? Just sat down with a hot cup of coffee while in Quarantine? This going to be entertaining =)
I was not disappointed
Was about to write just that. 40k reference? This can only be good. Like Henry Caville painting Custode miniatures.
tbh could be a mad jack churchill quote at one point.

@@josephdedrick9337 Well it is WH40k reference, Dawn of War reference to be exact.
I got it.
The Graf Zeppelin is a Ship of the Line with the masts removed.
It's a cruiser with some planes on it
So, if this guy spent most of the match with his pedal to the metal, and he was driving a Graf Zeppelin...does that mean he was a Lead Zeppelin?

A pun masterclass, hats off to you sir!
I did not give you consent to inflict this punishment!
Everybody saw the title and thought....
"yup Graf Zeppelin"
I was thinking Richthofen
Just Graf Zeppelin doing Graf Zeppelin things.
Wargaing's thought process on the Graf Zeppelin:
"Hey boss, the community says CVs are overpowerd."
"Ok, I'm fed up with this crap. the Graf Zeppelin will have shitty planes which deal no damage!"
"But boss, nobody will buy it if it's all crap."
"Hmm ok, let it have german battleship secondaries then. At least it will become a meme ship.""
"But boss, it will still be complete crap and not a bit competetive."
"Shut up, it's a german ship, not russian."
"Ok, fair point."
---> ship's working as intended
11:27 A German crewman could be drinking a cup of coffee at the stern of the ship, and see those torpedo's run out of steam just before they hit the ship.
I would need new pants.
First of all: thats fucking hilarious and impressive at the same time - Günther Lütjens totally brought this to a new level :D
Second: Jingles you did it again - Ta-152 C1 as shown in WoWs is the medium altitude multirole fighter, the H1 was the high altitude variant - but this time you are forgiven, this is specific nerd knowledge... ;)
The Ta-152 C1/R14, which is the plane in the game, was an actual study of a torpedobomber version, but I very much doubt it could have been carrier-borne.
@@jacopomangini3036 This.
@@jacopomangini3036 Well, it couldn't because at this time development of German aircraft carriers was cancelled. But IF that program was still running, both Fw 190Fs and Ta 152Cs could be carrier-borne.
Makes me happy seeing a true carrier replay (by which i mean he plays the carrier while his planes work, rather than burying the carrier in some rock while he plays world of warplanes lite) rather rare to see since the rework removed most of the ship controls
I love the 40k reference jingles. And it fits so well lol.
For the uninitiated, this is a saying from an unknown tank commander from the 40k universe.
I thought it was a saying from the Lord Commissar in DoW 2
"Drive Me Closer, I want to Hit Them With My Sword"
CV in thumbnail
It's a Graf Zeppelin replay, isn't it?
Before the reworks took away her 200mm AP, i did something similar with Kaga (using islands instead of DDs) that was the day i discovered a heavy-ish belt, below the waterline citadel, and 5 200mm guns can defeat a full health battleship when he trades broadsides from 4km XD
Too bad shes spitting HE now
I can just see the captain on the deck of the ship with a sword pointing at each target for the secondaries.
Thought that Lexington decided "Hey, look at that enemy CV, charging into our team and utterly decimating us, i'm in a CV, so i should be able to do it as well". Poor sad sorry US carrier T_T he learnt a life lesson that day.
kind of wish they had left the 4 twin 8" turrets on the Lex :)
@@zilichus9192 Just imagine those 8" as auto secondaries. :)
@@zilichus9192 That is what I was just thinking about.
@@zilichus9192 Hope we get Premium Saratoga with that armament
Sank a Lex' with my Shokaku, in a 1 vs. 1 Ranked Sprint battle. It was close, though. Lex's planes are her best feature, not her secondary battery.
To be absolutely fair, the Ta-152 had a fighter bomber/torpedo bomber version studied and I think prototyped too.
That being said, we are talking about Uncle Adi's air force, he sort of forced ground attack versions into every fighter project ever.
i like how even on a defeat, he still did better than all but three of the enemy team
Where is Chieftain on The Carl with his Officer's Sword
omg I totally forgot about the carl! XD talk about a blast from the past
Or Commisar Yarrick on his Baneblade?
Or Matt Easton from 'Scholar Gladiotore' talking about Aircraft Carriers not being judged by CONTEXT, shaft length and PENETRATION!
It is now official that this is the only proper way to play Graf Zeppelin
Search 899division, there is another one
@@5centseatshit both dont include the crappy planes!
My god, this was a hell of a demonstration on creativity. Very interesting and amazing indeed.
When I saw the Triple Amalfi division I thought I'd seen everything. My hat goes off to people who have the imagination for this crap.
Worst part is he put better use of his aircraft than 90% of CVs
This is like one of Spiff's "perfectly balanced game" videos...
Remember what happened when Jingles featured a triple lyon division on his YT? So, what do you think is going to start happening now, gnome overlord?
Memes. Memes everywhere.
I've heard of players doing this before. While it may be fun for the CV player the two DDs in the division were hardly helping the rest of the team.
11:25 Gunther Lutjens: " God dammit, not again....."
Well, I can understand wargaming not using the Stuka for the Graf Zeppelin's bombers. They're so dreadfully slow they'd be completely inadequate for a tier 8 carrier, where their competition consists of Helldivers and Spearfish. However all of their other dive & torpedo bombers were big twin-engine aircraft like the Ju 88. the only other design that could reasonably fit on a carrier would have been the cancelled Ju 187, and those wouldn't have even been a significant improvement over the Stuka.
Anyway, it's not the only time Wargaming have pressed an interceptor into service as a naval bomber to fill a gap in the tech tree. They did the same thing with the ludicrously big J5N Tenrai on Hakuryu.
The ship was never completed in real life. The secondary guns were diverted for coastal defense and the ship spent most of its time as lumber storage. Germany lacked any dedicated carrier aircraft designs so the plan was to convert JU 87's and BF 109's for carrier use but it never got that far.
thought a wild 899 was going to show up, this isn't bad though
This is still my favorite Jingles Replay of all time...
Who's here after Jingles posted another Graf Zeppelin replay played by this exact player in 2023?
That version actually isn't the high altitude version but the more general C version that doesn't have the high altitude optimised wings. It still wouldn't be serviceable on a carrier, no way they could land on it. The C version was build as a "Zerstörer", a heavily armed fighter to fight bombers at lower altitudes.
Didnt bombers (strategic) fly only at high altitude over Germany because of heavy AA?
@@SuperLusername The C Model could still shoot down B17s or B24s quite well but the H model was meant for the B29s and other extreme altitude Bombers that they probably didnt know of but were expecting.
@@Wraithbuster Yes, the Germans basically panicked when they heard about the B-29 and launched multiple super high altitude fighter projects.
Normal bombers didn't fly at altitudes exceeding 6-8km at that time
Wow that Lexington's health bar was melting like butter in a hot pan.
With a title like that how can anyone not stop to watch!?
The only clip that has managed to have me start pissing myself laughing reading the title and before the video has even loaded. Thanks Jingles!
this is the most enjoyable carrier replay
"Drive Me Closer, I Want To Hit Them With My Sword" actually happened in World War II when the Imperial Japanese Submarine I-1 was attacked on the surface (while towing barges) by two allied corvettes. They had a problem: their 4" shells tended to bounce off the I-1's upper-deck armor (yes, it had armor) so one of the corvettes (Kiwi) rammed I-1. Three times. Third time, an angry officer tried to jump on the corvette's deck, sword and all, trying to slice a few kiwis. He was a third-dan kendo master, it seems.
Jingles, the aircraft shown is a Ta-152C. It was a medium to low altitude fighter/fighter bomber. The Ta-152H was the high altitude interceptor; characterized by its way bigger wingspan.
Other than that: I laughed my ass off. Very well played, "Dave" !
Jingles the Graf Zepplin used to ahve the JU87Cs back in RTS. and the fighters were BF109Ts not the Me155As.
FOR THE EMPEROR
Me sees title: So our mighty Overlord is not only a Rear Admiral but also an Imperial Commisar? I might have to be quadruple careful when pretending to mine salt.
Wait.
Did I just say that out loud?
I bet his team was really happy about this
I'm surprised we didnt' see anything from them in chat.
You do know you are CV right?
Dave: *"So anyway I started blasting"*
I already see more coming out of this.
I mean - A good player would fire into the smoke.
Heaven forbid the enemy team have any ship with radar.
Sheer genius! I enjoy watching someone use their ship(s) to their best advantage. Nice teamwork also. They won't get away with this for long though not that the secret is out. Prepare to get rushed in the future!
Drachinifel did note that with that heavy antisurface battery of six-inch guns and a rather anemic air group, the Graf Zeppelin made a better light cruiser than an aircraft carrier...
6:18 Actually Jingles, there IS a detectability range increase for firing your secondary batteries, it's just absaloutly tiny in comparison to main batteries.
Shotgun sounds ensue
is it really there when you're still not spotted at 3.4km?
No, Jingles is right. There is no increase in detection range from firing your secondary batteries or anti aircraft gun inside smoke screen, only main gun do. You can see the circle also not increasing even a pixel when the secondary gun start firing.
Watch How it works: Spotting System at 9:39 for official statement from Wargaming themselves
This is disgusting and genius at the same time... xD
Well done teamwork. I love how the DDs are doing their jobs. Keep the carrier covered, let it deal damage, use your detection gear to keep it informed.
Oh good lord once the Zep opens up it’s just nonstop brrrrrrt
Last time I was this early the metropolitan police where not flouting social distancing on Westminster bridge. 🤔🙄

Those destroyers smoke screens where exactly amazing. They anticipated and reacted to the enemy movement to a level I've never been able to in a long range Japanese destroyer. I've learned a lot from them. Thanks!
WG has even acknoledged this odd tendency by giving the Sharnhorst a DD skin you can buy.
welp, looks like the graf zep is gonna get nerfed next
By the way, it can't😂😂
@@5centseatshit Patchnotes soon:
"Due to unforeseen gameplay elements added we are reducing Graf Zeppelin secondary range to 3.5 km and increasing reload by 50%"

"Due to unforseen gameplay elements we are reducing Graf Zeppelin secondary range by 0.1km and increasing rate of fire by 50%

@@WolfePaws GZ is a german ship though.
The only balance changes it will get is with a file tool.
You are not allowed to have fun in german ships! But GZ is a premium ship so more global change will be needed:
"Due to unforseen gameplay elements we are now make carriers secondary guns have same penalty to fire from smoke as main guns with such caliber"
1:38 that AA fire is beautiful
actually jingles, the old RTS graf zeppelin had ju-87s as bomber and torpedobomber and me-109T s as fighters, but they changed it with the cv-rework
Woo! Finally actually on time for Jingles! (I blame quarantine insomnia).
Haha jingles I have watched you for as long as I remember. And I still laugh my ass off in every video
Jingles!!!! TA152C was the low-medium altitude fighter version. So actually it checks out.
The only produced versions were the H models which had a larger wing for high altitude interception
The Stukas were far too slow even in 1940 and at T8 it would be like a T6 plane at best
There are just no words for how funny this was like I have never seen something like this before work so damn well
do you watch the technical difficulties (tom scott &co) by any chance?
Imagine if he used his planes a bit more...
near impossible to do so since you have to switch targets while also sailing the graf zeppelin manually across the smokes. The autopilot simply is not previse enough to do that for you
@@TheBaBySiTteR90 with 2 minutes laying smokes you have enough time to do that ;)
@@siriusczech No you really dont have enough time to do that while you are executing this strategy. you cant use the autopilot for it as the maneuvers need to be much more precise. If you are sitting still in the smoke you also running the risk of torpedoes which you cant dodge even with hydro as you need to start accelerating. Also back when we were doing this, manual Secondaries was a skill which required you to select targets for the secondaries and you could also not do that while flying. Siliwangi is the much better choice as you can continuously move non stop. In this game I was just luck that not a whole lot of torps were thrown into the smoke. So all in all you can barely use your planes as you have to constantly maneuver and pay attention to the smallest details. We played this for 24 hours straight (about 70 games in total) and perfecting it and all I can say is that you have very very limited time on your planes.
@@TheBaBySiTteR90 ok, if you say so, you have more experience than I do, but I would definitely try sticking secondaries to a target, set ship to stop, fly out, dropped dive bombers/fighters/torps, recalled planes and went on with this strat.
Kudos to you, it was hell of a fun. What I would also think to be really good to play along would be Haida+Sims/Benson with her crawling smoke, I just don´t know if you would fit, but man, this would have been a nightmarish combo, too.
I would be happy to see/play it there.
@@siriusczech you dont want to do that, since you cant keep moving. The tactic got much more refined when we did the 24hour live stream. you are constantly moving with 2 siliwangies. you never need to stop. that way you can chase down enemies and reliably dodge any torps. Since torps are the main issue if you are stationary inside a smoke. Even with hydro graf zeppelin is to sluggish and can accelerate out of the torps way in most cases. So no you don't really have time for that. And as you saw in this replay, we had 2 minute smokes and there was still to much stuff to do in the majority of the time. since you have to plan that once you start a strike, you cant maneuver or change targets for the next 30 seconds which is usually not really feasible, especially if you are firing at max range and have to constantly change targets
kudos to the amazing job of 2 dd, i love the "thinking out of the box" approach
Jingles: 'I guarantee you haven't seen anything like this before'
Me: This looks familiar... oh I have seen it before - it popped up in my feed and I thought it was this year's video!
How you have 500 views in 3 minutes after uploading lol
So basically he removed his own team's destroyers from the game for the entire match to babysit him with smokescreens. No wonder the enemy was controlling the caps and won on points... But hey, it's for the LOLz :D
This comment needs to be way higher up.
Yeahhhh not a good strategy. Like sure you got 300k damage which is great but you also removed the potential damage of 2 destroyers as well as the possibility of all 3 ships capping. Not a winning strategy. They essentially threw the game for their team for the memes.
This. Jingles always criticizes others for doing shit like this but if it makes a funny video it's all of a sudden okay
@@JenkemSuperfan For the love of god mate there were other cruisers and destroyers on his team. If the loss of three ships is enough to make you go pants on head mode maybe WoW isn't the game for you.
@@clothar23 It sure is enough to make jingles complain every time it happens
Graff Zepp captain: Call an ambulance! BUT NOT FOR ME!!
this is the stuff i come to see ! awesome pure awesomeness !
The Emperor is strong with this one
Keep in mind, this is a hella impressive damage number, but its essentially 3 ships damage number combined because the 2 destroyers didnt do nearly anything but keep him alive that game
On the other hand, 9 other ships on his team didn't do crap but feed on the ships he wore down to nubs.
Imagine if the DD's had fired torpedoes, eh?
That's teamwork defined
@Somarik Green If you watch the mini-map, you can see some extraordinarily bad play by the other members of the team. Especially around the A cap where three BBs dive into a crossfire sequentially. The Gneiseneau also drove into a crowd of enemies and paid for it.
@Somarik Green I have to disagree. He kept half the enemy team bottled up for the most part in one corner of the map and picked them off one by one. His team should have pushed the caps behind him, instead they fed.
Thanks Jingles. Enjoyable as always.
at first i thought it was a 899 division gameplay, instead got a brawling graf with zerstorer bodyguards
a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
Awwwwwwww I wanted an actual carrier replay! Graf Zeppelin is just a cruiser with planes! In this video he barely used any planes at all. Literally just use a light cruiser with smoke!
I want to see a Hakuryu or Midway game.
Instead of contesting the caps those two destroyers only focused on hiding a aircraft carrier. Can that be one reason why the match was lost...
also the CV not using their aircraft for half the battle, but it was still entertaining to watch
Contesting caps in a carrier game = dead destroyers. There where 9 other players on the team and maybe if they had achieved anything between the 9 of them it would have been a win.
With the lack of CV and DD spotting no wonder "Dave's" team lost map and cap control and ultimately the game. This is a classic example of "don't tell me how to play, I'm too busy padding my stats" selfish gameplay, but we really need to blame WG for making it a thing and not fully understanding their own game to prevent it.
@@andrewpulda7969 Right because teams are notorious for always shooting targets DD's spot or supporting them when they cap /s
oh right no they sail behind an island and sit there unable to shoot anything a DD in a cap spots 99% of the time.
@@andrewpulda7969 You can say that, but at the same time if a CV with a troll build that would usually get killed in the first 5 minutes got 330k damage and 5 kills while the rest of the team got 4 kills between them (including 0 kills for his team at the A cap, which was a 3v3 with little to no aircraft support from the enemy team) then I don't think we can say it is entirely at the hands of the CV and his DD division.
Call it being selfish, but doing an ass-ton of damage still helps the team too.
In real life, HMS Formidable sort of did this at the Battle of Cape Matapan. Three battleships and an aircraft carrier snuck up on a squadron of Italian cruisers during the night to within two miles before someone remembered they shouldn't have brought a carrier to what amounted to a knife-fight at sea. Her 4in guns got a few salvoes off before the battleships pretty much annihilated the enemy cruisers.
Actually Jingles the Ta-152H was the supercharged big wing high altitude fighter. The C was a design for the low altitude clipped wing version that they were planning to use as a fighter bomber
Nice Meme-Game, but he basically lost his team the game because of that
no his team lost his team the game because they where total idiots
@@friedwaldderlebendige8494 Sure. And what exactly was the team supposed to do with a CV and 2 DDs basically being AFK?
@@maviba afk? they were conquering the centre of the map! the rest of the team could ahve flanked around. the carrier wass fine and gunning down everyone who tried to get near him so the rest of the team instead of staying back and watching him die could have put the enemy into a crossfire.
@@friedwaldderlebendige8494 The center was conqered by the enemy pretty fast and this divi didn't do shit in order to prevent this.
His Team at A was completely blind because 2 of 3 DDs were just busy smoking up a CV who's only interested in farming secondary damage, while the enemy team there actually had a DD there plus a CV supporting his team.
So how are they supposed to flank a side without any support if they're outnumbered there? GZ didn't even bother spotting for them.
So yes, 3 of the most important ships were prety useless for the team becaus this divi let them down. They didn't even manage keeping C although 2 DD and a CV were there,
and yes, they lost his team the game.
@@maviba they certainly could have been more effective but you can say the same thing about the rest of the team. they should have been a lot more aggressive. i agree with you on one thing, the cv should have been using his aircraft to spot and kill the destroyers
While interesting, this is a prime example what happens when teamplay goes out the window for the benefit of one player in the entire team.
To be fair the rest of the team were shit
@@kamelionify when you're not getting air cover or spotting coverage, it makes life harder. Especially, you know, when the other team has those things.
@@tspencer227 Watch it again, there were plenty of spotted ships, the rest of the team wasn't taking advantage.
@@kamelionify Really? No aircover, not much air recon and no destroyers to spot for them, contest caps or put strategic smokescreens.
@@canis_lupus2220 You watched the wrong vid, I saw the red CV spending all his planes trying to chase down the GZ and his divmates at the C cap... please tell me how that helped teh red team at A and B cap.. the GZ player's team flat out sucked and they would have lost no matter who or what you replace his div with.
Hell! Even if it works only once, cheers to you - I always respect people that try to 'extend' the possibilitys :)
Team work at it's best!!! That's was amazing!!!
Lets be honest here, as much fun as these secondary meme builds are, in the end they only work against stupid people.
Any smart player would have released what was going on and wouldnt have gotten close to the Zeppelin. Especially not those destroyers who have nothing to blame but themselfes.
Still, an awesome game to watch though and a great result. And that from someone who doesnt even main carriers :p
Well it´s not like stupid people are in short supply, is it?
@@EinachserLS true that
Considering the amount of people bitching about the fact the Graf Zeppelin didn't cover his worthless teams ass stupid people are really busy breeding.
This is cool and all but pulling two DD's purely for smoke smoke cover is what doomed the team as for a large part of the game he was not even using his planes for spotting.
That was magnificent! Well done 'Dave'.
Hey look! It took only 3 ships to make one of them work as intended. Good job, Wargaming! :D
I am not so sure using an aircraft carrier as a battleship is "work as intended".
@@57thorns Fair point, but on the other hand... Making the aircraft of a carrier so crappy and the secondaries so strong that a secondary build is not just viable but in fact not even uncommon, can really make you guess about Wargaming's intentions. ;)
"Despite a herculean effort" ? I thought the point of all the preceeding Graf Z. videos was that the player is not doing anything while the ship kills the enemy for him.
effort of not dying like the rest of his team team
Hmmmm... GZ thumbnail and replay with a somewhat leading title... What this mysterious battle will be about?
...
Edit 17 min later: wuuuut!! a GZ besting sec.dmg. supported by excelent smoke-DD div.m8s... who could have imagined such a thing!!!!
Lütjens is counter-balans to bussia rias, way too OP plz nerf
Thanks Jingles, that was AMAZING !
Actually Jingles, it was the Ta 152 H that was the high altitude interceptor. The Ta 152 C was intended for operations at low to medium altitudes. I know, I know, I'll show myself out.
Tons of damage sure but pretty much ensuring it would be a loss with the 2 DDs basically doing nothing but smoking for him. Not the sort of people you'd want to get on your team, but this probably isn't something that they do a lot.
Still, 330k damage divided by 3 is perfectly decent, as is the about 2700 combined base experience.
I thought the same. But if you check the end-screen: both DDs are in the better half of his team, so.... it really was his team, that lost him the game.
Just thinking, how well this could have gone with 2 aktive DDs, ...
to be honest, they might have good damage and xp and it was fun. but the loss of spotting and map control from the 2 classes that provide it the most means they probably did cause the loss.
Look at other games where 1 flank has no spotting or dd and the enemy team does, most of the time they will lose that flank. the game isn't just about damage and kills. a dd can be MVP in a match with 0 damage and 5 caps, but only get like 500 base xp
the scoring systems is fucked up, as is the whole game right now
@@powrapter Yup, this is basically swapping a CV and 2 DDs, so a ton of spotting, capping and harassing, for a hard-to-sink secondary monster.
It's an impressive combo, but not that hard to counter (run away, torp the smokescreen).
they lost cz there were no DDs to cap, oh no, there were 2 DDs in a certain Div, wonder what the hell were they doing ???
I play DD if your in a carrier game going into cap = dead in 30 seconds or less.
The really sick thing is that the two destroyers did basically DICK all game... and still finished 4th and 6th on the scoreboard.
2nd on the scoreboard was the BB hiding behind the carrier.
This was a hell of a team!
They did cap C and their division had just one member score 330k dmg in tier 8 game on top of AA defense expert. The 2 division DDs could have been AFK and the rest of the team would have had no excuse to lose.
@@Kuolonen My point exactly. The DDs made a very minimal contribution yet most of the team still contrived to do less.
That one torpedo had a closer call than the titanic had with the new york
That was unbelievable and a lot of fun to watch.
