Great game. Hated grinding my wz120. Got the top tier gun however the gun depression is soo bad I downgraded to one of the lower tier guns just so I wasn't exposing my entire tank over a ridge line to shoot the enemies.

BUT sometimes, as with Hellion's game, a player can have fun albeit at a cost. The Foch player needs to go do something fun that doesn't spoil the fun for other people.

When you have a game like that with 7 kills, a boatload of medals, and a premium account and you STILL lose money you know that something is just not right with this game.
Gold spammers are even in lower tiers, plenty seal clubbers wasting cridets hurting the F2P lower tier grind.. I must say, Blitz is far more balanced when it comes into game dynamics with balanced shells, ammor and pen and semi earning cridets, ok they do force you to run a premuim account just like PC if you want to earn good cridets.. But you can often bounce premuim ammo(standard) by side scraping and face hugging and just moving at the right time but you can also go up against higher tier tanks and not need gold to pen them. Nothing worse than going up against 5 heavies and not able to pen 1 of them becasue you are F2P and only use small repair kit and they are T9 and T10..
@@Cent51 . I've always said, they should remove gold ammo from tier 5 & lower. It'll let the new players get to know the game, and possibly enjoy the game more, and not get put off so mush because off the seal clubbers spamming gold at them and putting them off the game. The number of seal clubbers would probably lower also, because they're playing against players that have an equal chance off damaging them, because of them having the same ammo and dpm in the same tanks. Rarely do I play higher than tier 7 these days, as I'm using a standard account, and can't afford the credit loss that is now standard at tier 8 and higher, especially with a standard account. I no longer have a prem account due to my work hours. I usually only play Friday and Saturday nights, so spending on a prem account is just a waist.
On the contrary; the developers and owners have managed to squeeze every ruble out of a toxic and shrinking game. Players are simply a source of revenue, nothing more.
Again I was banging my head against the wall when I saw the first 2 minutes of the WZ-120 driver with all the rookie mistakes. But than I recognize how Jingles totally ignored his play and instead enlarged the map to show what happens with the Foch. That cheered me up :-) Nevertheless kind of interesting match at the end and I guess everyone deserves a hero moment from time to time.
Everytime a Collabanov's comes up all I ever think of is Steven 06Wallst killing his own teammate when the clock hit's zero after capping and yelling "COLLABANOV'S!!! COLLABANOV'S!!!!"
Well...all I can say about this replay is the WZ-120 is the Type59, the WZ is just the factory designation, while "Type" is the production one. Also gotta admire the size of the man's brass balls running that thing w/o a fire extinguisher...
I love these videos, and I used to love the game. After grinding for a long time to finally get my first tier 10 tank though, it became very clear that the game is unplayable at high tiers unless you have premium...and even then a lot of times, you're still losing credits. I loved playing the game, but it got to the point were I had to grind so many tier 5-7 battles just to make the money to play a couple tier 10 battles that it just became unenjoyable. Anyways, love your videos Jingles. Keep up the good work sir.
You could be like me and I would say a few more and dont play 10s, I dont miss them and there are enough enjoyable 8s to play, I too had a 2 year lay off and came back just before last christmas, I had to grind up some new lines to get back to fully researched, still getting to get all my 8s fully field modded
These are just a few reasons when I do play, which is rarely, I play tier 6 and blow. Don't have a premium account or ammunition. It would really suck if I were flushing real money down the crapper and loose most of the time.
I always love watching your World of Tanks videos. They remind me why I play War Thunder. Haven't touched WoT in months, maybe longer, and I will not break that streak.
COLD. WATERS. JINGLES! Been subbed to you for about 5-6 years now, love every video. Itd be unreal if you snuck in the odd Cold Waters video if you could, I love the more realistic side of your channel, Cheers, massive fan from Australia 🇦🇺
So basically the Foch player was right... except he wasn't actually afk and the loss would have probably been a fact had he not done 1400 dmg, so in the end that foch player saved the day!
"A scream of battle brings your party to a halt. You face death itself in the form of a one shotable Progetto!" Bonus points for the people who get the reference.
There's a reason why I now prefer War Thunder over WoT, because even if your team is awful, you can do something about it, and when you do something you feel good. You can also actually have fun in ways other than doing good leaderboard-wise in WT, because the 150mm+ cannons can hit things and tend to kill things in one hit... can't do that much in WoT anymore.
Playing the WG advocate here, but what do you suppose WG could do to punish afk players without discouraging players to leave their keyboard to pick up their phone or go to the toilet when needed? If they stay in the battle they are not easily differentiated from TD and artillery, and if you install a ban procedure it will either clog up the complaint departement, or will be easily abusable to scumbags by spamming reports.
@@gareth14111984 Which would solve nothing since as you saw here, Foch got both damage and spotting. Also even complete AFK players who wont even leave base will probably get some spotting points if enemy tries to go for cap and they will act as automatic spotters for teammates.
@@the_tactician9858 there is a big difference between answering the phone and being AFK! When you have 5+ games in a row and there is an AFK player on your team AND the enemies tesm... there is a big difference than answeringthe phone. That scenario is clearly bots running those accounts! Hell, I've even seen player stay AFK the ENTIRE match and the INSTANT they get spotted they start moving. They don't fight... no they just start moving straight ahead and die! Trust me... it's a massive problem! WG knows about It!
£1k spent on 3 accounts over 7 years. Finally managed to delete every tank and crew member to avoid the temptation to reactivate within the now 60 day period. Thanx Jingles u helped me to start living again. One day at a time I will not use World of Tanks today, no matter what happens. World of Tanks does not control me.
The toxicity and 'pay to win' at T9/T10 did it for me. While the toxic environment can be ignored sometimes, you clearly have to throw IRL money at those upper levels just to come out ahead at the end and even have a chance of winning. Some people are ok with this, I am not.
This was insightful Jingles. I enjoy your commentary. It was hard to find you. I saw you are no longer streaming on Twitch. Is it You Tube only? Thank you again for your content sir!
Jingles...if one player can cause their team to lose 7 games they participated in a row, then that speaks more to the shit matchmaker than the shit player.
I'm not gonna defend the AFK guy, but I do understand his frustration. As a 47%er, my games can be like this: 9 games where I do my best, I get top 5 damage and XP but lose all of them. Then on the tenth game I win, but I do zero dmg and XP. It's really annoying and might make me want to go AFK (but I don't).
One of, if not the most deserved Kolobanov's I've seen, epic play. As for the state of currency earning in WoT, it's no longer currency really, they're just trying to treat it like another subscription income. I'm a middling 54% player, and in the last two years in particular, the ability to earn has halved. Possibly more. Not even close to kidding. Do well in a tech-tree tank and you'll be lucky to pocket 10k. Throw a couple of rounds of gold and now that's a bill. WG is taking the piss. 👎
Stopped paying them 2 yrs. ago after they nerfed the Italian mediums and Leopard. I just play for the giggles in my Progetto 46 and generate credits everytime. I won't be giving any hard currency to a Belarus(ian) company.
As a fellow "middling" 54% WR player myself, I can whole heartedly agree. The potential to earn credits seems to have been seriously cut in half. And it also seems like the average WoT player is getting dumber, and much less experienced. Add to that the shrinking middle player group, and you have a game filled with selfish unicum players and their wanna be sycophants who chase damage and kill stats only, and massively ignorant players who seem to WANT to lose. I love watching, but I have not really touched my account in years. WG spreadsheet has sucked the life and fun from this game. SAD.
@@turbo32coupe Like your comment. 🇧🇾 Belarus=White Russia for those who have not translated it yet. Wargambling...you are better off in a real casino if you only play Blackjack or Poker. Play black or red on the roulette. Otherwise you are just giving the house free money. Just like Wargaming.
The Foch is indicative of two things; 1. A player so disenchanted with the game he feels taking it out on his own team mates is somehow justified. 2. You pointing him out Jingles is a sign you have reached another level of hate for Wargaming. Hate? Is hate the proper word? Is that too harsh? Naw, they deserve it. Im playing other titles now. You wouldn't believe how refreshing it is to see devs who actually give a shit and truly care about what the players want. Turns out you can make money without grifting your customers.
Great job to not quit on your team Hellionxx!! That Foch (and others like him) is the #1 reason World of Tanks sucks so bad. But, let's be honest, there are a lot of reasons, but that's definitely one of them! Great job pointing out the scum and calling it as it is Jingles!
I figured I could win, The HP differential was never as bad as it appeared. Jingle is right though. I was worried about that progetto coming at me from behind !
@@IronHellion -- Well played. Way too many times in my 11 years playing this game I've seen guys just quit. Always good to see the one that fights to the end... win or lose! Way to go!
The problem is, that the Foch about proved his point. My last few forays in wot has seen me win 3 out of 24 games, top scored or thereabouts in several. After 60k battles I think it's my worst streak so I may give the Foch approach a test run.
I had something similar some time back. -Unfortunately, the game has been updated since, so older versions of the game would be necessary. But someone in an IS-3A succeeded in throwing away a battle, I had few weeks ago. And guys, such behavior, is simply just not ok. If you click the "Battle"-button, you play, and take part in the game. To the best of your ability. In World of tanks, you are one out of 15 players, even though alone by your own monitor in your own little boble bedroom somewhere in the world..... 14 other people depend on you. If you won't play for winning the battle, better not play at all
@@JohnMasterCheif all they care about, is their own statistics, amounts of damage dealt and medals and marks earned. Never mind shooting all gold, when standard rounds do just fine, never mind allies are doing missions, or have the potential and want to show that they can do it. You see a player with "bad stats", you judge the player to have bad stats, and your gameplay gets affected. And then you pick on the player with bad stats after the battle, because they didn't do a single thing, when you yourself did everything. Some players, have more inside of them, when just given a chance. But with the way this develops, it seems like the jerks are winning, and controlling all this. And I don't like that view
@@mariannejensen349 The economy in wot is shit, if someone begs for a kill and I can do it myself without premium ammo, I will. Let me earn credits at t10 if I win and then we can talk about sportsmanship, why should I pay for your mission success, every damagepoint counts.
@@peterfuchs8260 It's not that side of mission, I had in mind. It's more down to the process of just completing the mission. The fact that some is trying to complet the mission and they have to accept it all denied, because someone else just clears left right and center. Often, the team is just passive. You do the work, pay with your hitpoints, but they pick up the reward. Who would like have that happening to them, I would like to know
Gawd I used to love that game. Hard to stick with it when the developers were hell bent on making it worse every six months. What's it like these days? LOL Defender, Kolobanov, wins the game beating the odds... and he loses 45k. Never change WoT. Never change.
Looking at *kraft57's* (NA) stats is not surprising of his attitude. 55k+ battles and his overall WIN8 has been earned at below Tier V (Tier II being the significant contribution to his WIN8 despite it representing only 7.6% of his overall battles). He doesn't play well in upper tiers, even though he has 5k+ more battles (30k+) in the upper tiers. A 7-battle loss in-a-row isn't that unusual on the NA server. I recently had 12 losses in 13 battles (in T8 tanks), but I also get good days as well. Had a 72.5% win rate over 40 battles (29 wins) on the Jun 18th in T6 TDs: 13 battles at T6 (either as top-tier or even-tier matches); 15 at T7; and 12 at T8. The last 20 battles I played that day, I had a 90% win rate (9/1 in the WZ-131G FT & 9/1 in the M36 Jackson). Next day had an 11 straight loss streak, finishing the day with GP/W/L/D : 40/21/18/1. I'm happy if I can finish the day with a 50% WR.
Former NA player here as well. Had a overall win8 around 2550 in 70K battles. Can testify to that. Event days (like x3 and x5) was bad… I could do 9K damage and still lose because 1/3 to 1/2 of my team does no damage in consecutive games (in tier 10s). One of my most heartbreaking games was in a unicum platoon of chieftains from the clan I was formerly in (before I quit wot and left). We did a combined 27K damage and 12 kills (the only kills my team had) because the rest of the team got crushed and did a combined 5k damage and no kills during a x5 day on mountain pass.
basically just your typical WoT NA boomer player. Mostly clubs the low tiers because they've never gotten good at playing above tier 6 (and probably never will cause they're stubborn). thousands of em just like this guy though a lot of them usually just stick to the t67 and m44.
I am updating World of Tanks and Warships because my 8-year-old nephew is in town and he loves it when I play these games. My sister-in-law loves it too because he is glued to my screen and just watches me play and he isn't running around the house having her chase him around lol.
WHERE IS A GNOME ABROAD?! Your stories are epic. Maybe not so much to you but for those of us that didn't have that experience we want to live vicariously through you.
God, the economy of WoT is just grossly unfair. And I wonder why I never actually made it past T8 tanks, because as someone just trying to play the game normally, I couldn't AFFORD to play the game any higher. Hell, WoWs, I own like... 10 Tier X ships, but WoT, nope, just can't afford to shovel money into the breach.
@@M.AZZAM8976 nah I mean how good does a game have to be in a light tank for him to feature it. What kind of damage/spotting totals should I aim for if I am going to have a chance of getting featured
@@obida_pepega2145 yeah true. I sent him a replay of my ELC on prokhorovka. I did 8.5k spotting and a couple kills. I think it was a little over 9k total.

@@hhall1932 It depends on how the game is played. The problem with Light Tanks if you play it well it is kinda boring to watch most of the time unless you are on a team of potatoes. Or you are in duck with no ammo and just tank hilarious amounts of shots.

WG when they implemented the Premium ammo for credits lost my love for the game. When you play machines such as the Borsig with its paper armour or a T3 light tank to try another nations tech tree and the "5%" of all ammo fired is premium nonsense happened. When you play for an entire weekend and then watch your replays and its more like 80-90% you start to lose the will to live. I finally gave up in a battle where a scumbag did something similar to the foch except he drove to the corner of the map and afk'd, the team could have used a top tier tank but we fought till the end where the last 2 friendlies died and left them with no time left and the afk F&*%^er gets a kolobanov's for doing nothing but winning against 5 enemies. Uninstalled 20 seconds later.
Take away the "Battle" button, and replace it with a "Roll Dice" button. Roll a 6 to win the battle. Spend IRL money on items that can affect the dice roll by as much as 1%.
I hate the fact that wargaming make it much more complicated adding a lot of micro transactions even though majority of it’s player base is only barely keeping to what’s happening. Wargaming was able to balance the game between free to play players and payee players, then suddenly scrapped it all and add a lot of pay to play mechanics. Which make them loose a lot of their casual player base.
so I already thought some of the repair costs of vehicles in war thunder are bad. But in WoT you actually have to spent real money to get ammunition to fight enemies when being uptiered and stock condition just to get a negative outcome out of it?
Back in the olden days, you played War Thunder for more realistic gameplay, and world of tanks for faster arcade-y gameplay. Nowadays you play war thunder to be annoyed 70% of the time, and world of tanks to be infuriated 100% of the time... It's a fucking shame that WG keeps killing Wot on purpose, the only way War Thunder and world of tanks could be actually brilliant games that they can be, there needs to be competition, but WG does it's best to give War Thunder all the advantages...
Yet another validation of my choice to leave the toxic environment that is The World of Tanks. As if Kellerman's channel wasn't enough, now Jingles just provides further evidence. I look forward to the complete crash and bankruptcy of WoT.
Battle Pass grinder here. Had series of 8 defeats in a row with T25 AT, 7 in a row with UDES 03, got the points. I'm starting to not care if i drop from my 53% general win rate. All that matters is doing the best you can.
There's two sides to the Foch's behavior, I feel. 1 is explainable, the other is just simple. The explainable one is he's frustrated because of the tier progression of WarGaming's games. In order to get to a good vehicle or a vehicle you want, you've got to slog it out in a few POS's. The Foch is probably one of his POS's for his play style and he's frustrated and he just doesn't know how to get it to work. He's also possibly a free player, so just buying free experience to bypass the Foch is not an option. The simple explanation is he's just a troll who's already got Tier X but has the Foch out and is just dicking around and trying to complete challenges in the most challenging way he can make it for himself, kept failing, got frustrated, and is now just trolling for spunk (and I mean that in the way you'd interpret that Jingles.) He could also have been trying to seal club and got clubbed in return and so this is how he takes out his frustration and stress now. As long as someone suffers by his hands he's spunked up.
Every time I'm thinking of re-installing wot, I watch a video like this and the urge is gone. I'm saving my HDD space for more important things like Pakistani Toaster Manuals and photos of seagulls with muscular arms photoshopped on them.

I repair the fuel tanks whenever I get hit and have a 6 skill crew in the tank. It's risky but I don't get set on fire too much.
My new years resolution was to quit wot. Soon 7 months of not playing and my mental health improved dramatically.
i took about 4 months off like sept to dec. just popped in at xmas time to get what ever the free stuff was and started to beg to suffer 1 time
A very spot on review Sir.
Thanks!
I love these videos, and I used to love the game. After grinding for a long time to finally get my first tier 10 tank though, it became very clear that the game is unplayable at high tiers unless you have premium...and even then a lot of times, you're still losing credits. I loved playing the game, but it got to the point were I had to grind so many tier 5-7 battles just to make the money to play a couple tier 10 battles that it just became unenjoyable. Anyways, love your videos Jingles. Keep up the good work sir.
You could be like me and I would say a few more and dont play 10s, I dont miss them and there are enough enjoyable 8s to play, I too had a 2 year lay off and came back just before last christmas, I had to grind up some new lines to get back to fully researched, still getting to get all my 8s fully field modded
That Foch was having one helluva day, then proceeds to share it…
Wanted to say I really enjoyed the Alien boardgame videos. Props on taki g chances and varying your content. 👍🏻
Agree. It wasn't really to my taste, but kudos for giving it a go.
I think it's a real testament to Jingles' eloquence that RUclips's auto-generated captions rarely if ever make any mistakes about what he's saying.
You should get additional experience for not using fully upgraded equipment
These are just a few reasons when I do play, which is rarely, I play tier 6 and blow. Don't have a premium account or ammunition. It would really suck if I were flushing real money down the crapper and loose most of the time.
I always love watching your World of Tanks videos.
They remind me why I play War Thunder. Haven't touched WoT in months, maybe longer, and I will not break that streak.
I don't think I've ever been in a WoT battle without at least one A-hole on both sides, and usually more.
That fucking game, it drives you mad. I can totaly understand him
I want to install this game but I rather save my HD save for pictures of Jinlges' cat. brb, I'm gonna release some stress.
Last time I was this early, it was 1900. Great one old man.
say what you may, jingles, but the foch player *was* proven right in his assumption
That was an excellent match.
Great spotting by the Foch. XD
COLD. WATERS. JINGLES!
Been subbed to you for about 5-6 years now, love every video.
Itd be unreal if you snuck in the odd Cold Waters video if you could,
I love the more realistic side of your channel,
Cheers, massive fan from Australia 🇦🇺
I would love to see more cold waters vids
@@andrewg9216 ive been spamming this for a month haha, its painful, im dyijg for some new videos
I'm awake for a posting a new video, outstanding!!
So basically the Foch player was right... except he wasn't actually afk and the loss would have probably been a fact had he not done 1400 dmg, so in the end that foch player saved the day!
Videos like this are the reason i do not play WoT anymore and just enjoy your vids old man...
"A scream of battle brings your party to a halt. You face death itself in the form of a one shotable Progetto!" Bonus points for the people who get the reference.
Tells us another TALE oh mighty THE BARDS
There is the possibility that the Foch was just trash-talking - he was actually playing to the best of his, questionable, ability all along...
Thank you for the weekly reminder of why I don't play WoT anymore.
I always keep a spare landmine in case I need a quick get away! Remember Jingles, all it takes is one landmine to stop a lemming train!
Wow! What a delightful reminder of all the reasons I stopped playing!
I don't regret quitting this game one iota.
Haha, the final results, were the reason I stopped playing WOT a couple years ago. XD
There's a reason why I now prefer War Thunder over WoT, because even if your team is awful, you can do something about it, and when you do something you feel good. You can also actually have fun in ways other than doing good leaderboard-wise in WT, because the 150mm+ cannons can hit things and tend to kill things in one hit... can't do that much in WoT anymore.
Just when I thought there wasnt enough to talk about with world of tanks!
Players like that Foch and the fact that WG refuse to do anything about afk players... is why I don't play WoTs any more.
Playing the WG advocate here, but what do you suppose WG could do to punish afk players without discouraging players to leave their keyboard to pick up their phone or go to the toilet when needed? If they stay in the battle they are not easily differentiated from TD and artillery, and if you install a ban procedure it will either clog up the complaint departement, or will be easily abusable to scumbags by spamming reports.
@@the_tactician9858 I'd say the same thing they do with WoWS, 0 dmg/spotting/crit done, 0 xp and credits at the end..
@@gareth14111984 Which would solve nothing since as you saw here, Foch got both damage and spotting.
Also even complete AFK players who wont even leave base will probably get some spotting points if enemy tries to go for cap and they will act as automatic spotters for teammates.
@@the_tactician9858 there is a big difference between answering the phone and being AFK!
When you have 5+ games in a row and there is an AFK player on your team AND the enemies tesm... there is a big difference than answeringthe phone. That scenario is clearly bots running those accounts!
Hell, I've even seen player stay AFK the ENTIRE match and the INSTANT they get spotted they start moving. They don't fight... no they just start moving straight ahead and die!
Trust me... it's a massive problem! WG knows about It!
Loved the video, thanks jingles
Uninstalled WOT. Now playing Arma III with a group a friends and actually having fun.
RNG and luck. That battle was a perfect example of how RNG decides the outcome of battles in World of Tanks.
Day complete. Thanks Jingles.
Players who habitually go AFK require decimation.
Decimation is only killing one in ten.
That was a butt clenching win
£1k spent on 3 accounts over 7 years. Finally managed to delete every tank and crew member to avoid the temptation to reactivate within the now 60 day period. Thanx Jingles u helped me to start living again.
One day at a time I will not use World of Tanks today, no matter what happens.
World of Tanks does not control me.
damn, congrats but should have given the account to me xD
The toxicity and 'pay to win' at T9/T10 did it for me. While the toxic environment can be ignored sometimes, you clearly have to throw IRL money at those upper levels just to come out ahead at the end and even have a chance of winning. Some people are ok with this, I am not.
This was insightful Jingles. I enjoy your commentary. It was hard to find you. I saw you are no longer streaming on Twitch. Is it You Tube only? Thank you again for your content sir!
Last battle in my WZ-120 was 7k damage. I dont remember if it was an ace or not, but the requirement is up there for ace tanker on it.
Just confirmed, it was an ace tanker with 7k dmg. This was also a while ago, so requirements changed
He had so many chances to shoot at enemies running away.
Jingles...if one player can cause their team to lose 7 games they participated in a row, then that speaks more to the shit matchmaker than the shit player.
I'm not gonna defend the AFK guy, but I do understand his frustration. As a 47%er, my games can be like this: 9 games where I do my best, I get top 5 damage and XP but lose all of them. Then on the tenth game I win, but I do zero dmg and XP. It's really annoying and might make me want to go AFK (but I don't).
Amazing video, thanks!
Kudos to the WZ-120 but this replay show several reasons why I dont play WOT anymore
TBH, going by his nickname, i didn't pity the M53 for being sacrificed by the Foch.
One of, if not the most deserved Kolobanov's I've seen, epic play.
As for the state of currency earning in WoT, it's no longer currency really, they're just trying to treat it like another subscription income. I'm a middling 54% player, and in the last two years in particular, the ability to earn has halved. Possibly more. Not even close to kidding. Do well in a tech-tree tank and you'll be lucky to pocket 10k. Throw a couple of rounds of gold and now that's a bill. WG is taking the piss. 👎
Stopped paying them 2 yrs. ago after they nerfed the Italian mediums and Leopard. I just play for the giggles in my Progetto 46 and generate credits everytime. I won't be giving any hard currency to a Belarus(ian) company.
As a fellow "middling" 54% WR player myself, I can whole heartedly agree. The potential to earn credits seems to have been seriously cut in half. And it also seems like the average WoT player is getting dumber, and much less experienced. Add to that the shrinking middle player group, and you have a game filled with selfish unicum players and their wanna be sycophants who chase damage and kill stats only, and massively ignorant players who seem to WANT to lose. I love watching, but I have not really touched my account in years. WG spreadsheet has sucked the life and fun from this game. SAD.
@@turbo32coupe Yeah try to limit losses when playing tech tree tanks, go to tier 8 premiums with a credit booster to gen credits.
@@claytonwhitman2611 They're very definitely at the 'cash in while we can' phase of development
@@turbo32coupe Like your comment. 🇧🇾 Belarus=White Russia for those who have not translated it yet. Wargambling...you are better off in a real casino if you only play Blackjack or Poker. Play black or red on the roulette. Otherwise you are just giving the house free money. Just like Wargaming.
The Foch is indicative of two things; 1. A player so disenchanted with the game he feels taking it out on his own team mates is somehow justified. 2. You pointing him out Jingles is a sign you have reached another level of hate for Wargaming. Hate? Is hate the proper word? Is that too harsh? Naw, they deserve it. Im playing other titles now. You wouldn't believe how refreshing it is to see devs who actually give a shit and truly care about what the players want. Turns out you can make money without grifting your customers.
I really like the subtle echo from Jingle's mic in this video more than his usual crisp voice, anyone else ..?
That's a legendary throw by the opposing team.
Well, Foch was right. He did "won" this match. However, he shouldn't log out after the game, he should've uninstalled.... . .
That 122 mm gun is fun. Loved it and I love my 121 and 121b as well. In my opinion totally worth the grind and time ^^
God, just love that bass in the intro. 😋
Also, is that Momo Kawashima?
Great job to not quit on your team Hellionxx!! That Foch (and others like him) is the #1 reason World of Tanks sucks so bad. But, let's be honest, there are a lot of reasons, but that's definitely one of them! Great job pointing out the scum and calling it as it is Jingles!
I figured I could win, The HP differential was never as bad as it appeared. Jingle is right though. I was worried about that progetto coming at me from behind !
@@IronHellion -- Well played. Way too many times in my 11 years playing this game I've seen guys just quit. Always good to see the one that fights to the end... win or lose! Way to go!
@@CrossTrain thank you so much for the kind words.
The problem is, that the Foch about proved his point. My last few forays in wot has seen me win 3 out of 24 games, top scored or thereabouts in several. After 60k battles I think it's my worst streak so I may give the Foch approach a test run.
i remember watching you when my age was in the single digits and i've graduated high school now and you are somehow still making videos
Great video!
I had something similar some time back. -Unfortunately, the game has been updated since, so older versions of the game would be necessary. But someone in an IS-3A succeeded in throwing away a battle, I had few weeks ago. And guys, such behavior, is simply just not ok. If you click the "Battle"-button, you play, and take part in the game. To the best of your ability. In World of tanks, you are one out of 15 players, even though alone by your own monitor in your own little boble bedroom somewhere in the world..... 14 other people depend on you. If you won't play for winning the battle, better not play at all
you'd think that. but when the game only really rewards damage and wins, you get the ones that only care for those things
@@JohnMasterCheif all they care about, is their own statistics, amounts of damage dealt and medals and marks earned. Never mind shooting all gold, when standard rounds do just fine, never mind allies are doing missions, or have the potential and want to show that they can do it. You see a player with "bad stats", you judge the player to have bad stats, and your gameplay gets affected. And then you pick on the player with bad stats after the battle, because they didn't do a single thing, when you yourself did everything. Some players, have more inside of them, when just given a chance. But with the way this develops, it seems like the jerks are winning, and controlling all this. And I don't like that view
@@mariannejensen349 The economy in wot is shit, if someone begs for a kill and I can do it myself without premium ammo, I will. Let me earn credits at t10 if I win and then we can talk about sportsmanship, why should I pay for your mission success, every damagepoint counts.
@@peterfuchs8260 It's not that side of mission, I had in mind. It's more down to the process of just completing the mission. The fact that some is trying to complet the mission and they have to accept it all denied, because someone else just clears left right and center. Often, the team is just passive. You do the work, pay with your hitpoints, but they pick up the reward. Who would like have that happening to them, I would like to know
Gawd I used to love that game. Hard to stick with it when the developers were hell bent on making it worse every six months. What's it like these days?
LOL Defender, Kolobanov, wins the game beating the odds... and he loses 45k. Never change WoT. Never change.
Looking at *kraft57's* (NA) stats is not surprising of his attitude. 55k+ battles and his overall WIN8 has been earned at below Tier V (Tier II being the significant contribution to his WIN8 despite it representing only 7.6% of his overall battles). He doesn't play well in upper tiers, even though he has 5k+ more battles (30k+) in the upper tiers.
A 7-battle loss in-a-row isn't that unusual on the NA server. I recently had 12 losses in 13 battles (in T8 tanks), but I also get good days as well.
Had a 72.5% win rate over 40 battles (29 wins) on the Jun 18th in T6 TDs: 13 battles at T6 (either as top-tier or even-tier matches); 15 at T7; and 12 at T8. The last 20 battles I played that day, I had a 90% win rate (9/1 in the WZ-131G FT & 9/1 in the M36 Jackson).
Next day had an 11 straight loss streak, finishing the day with GP/W/L/D : 40/21/18/1. I'm happy if I can finish the day with a 50% WR.
Former NA player here as well. Had a overall win8 around 2550 in 70K battles. Can testify to that. Event days (like x3 and x5) was bad… I could do 9K damage and still lose because 1/3 to 1/2 of my team does no damage in consecutive games (in tier 10s).
One of my most heartbreaking games was in a unicum platoon of chieftains from the clan I was formerly in (before I quit wot and left). We did a combined 27K damage and 12 kills (the only kills my team had) because the rest of the team got crushed and did a combined 5k damage and no kills during a x5 day on mountain pass.
basically just your typical WoT NA boomer player. Mostly clubs the low tiers because they've never gotten good at playing above tier 6 (and probably never will cause they're stubborn). thousands of em just like this guy though a lot of them usually just stick to the t67 and m44.
I am updating World of Tanks and Warships because my 8-year-old nephew is in town and he loves it when I play these games. My sister-in-law loves it too because he is glued to my screen and just watches me play and he isn't running around the house having her chase him around lol.
Another instance of "I've found the german" in online gaming.
Just remember his name KRAFT57 and if any of you see him on your team I suggest everyone goes AFK and tell him its up to him to win the battle.
WHERE IS A GNOME ABROAD?! Your stories are epic. Maybe not so much to you but for those of us that didn't have that experience we want to live vicariously through you.
I've lost far more than 9 games in a row back when I played WotB back in the day. I think my loss streak was over 20 but I don't remember exactly.
poor guy works his ass off breaks his back to win and still gets shafted by the game
Actually Jingles the ELC Even 90 is the hero of the game. Even Arty suiciding would be preferable as at least they deny the enemy the kill.
God, the economy of WoT is just grossly unfair. And I wonder why I never actually made it past T8 tanks, because as someone just trying to play the game normally, I couldn't AFFORD to play the game any higher. Hell, WoWs, I own like... 10 Tier X ships, but WoT, nope, just can't afford to shovel money into the breach.
Hye jingles, how good of a light tank game do you need to feature it stats wise? Or do you go more off of how it is played?
@@M.AZZAM8976 nah I mean how good does a game have to be in a light tank for him to feature it. What kind of damage/spotting totals should I aim for if I am going to have a chance of getting featured
i mean, just look at this replay. The guy gets lucky and does 2k damage in a tier 9, yet jingles wont feature 8k+ 1vs7s etc XD
@@obida_pepega2145 yeah true. I sent him a replay of my ELC on prokhorovka. I did 8.5k spotting and a couple kills. I think it was a little over 9k total. I didn't use the bush lines either so it was interesting rather than the standard bush crawl. It finished in the last 5 seconds and we almost lost and I was on 7hp and tanked a shot in the tracks from a 430u. Got ace tanker and my first mark on it. I get that he gets a lot of replays but still
@@hhall1932 It depends on how the game is played. The problem with Light Tanks if you play it well it is kinda boring to watch most of the time unless you are on a team of potatoes. Or you are in duck with no ammo and just tank hilarious amounts of shots.
@@emberfist8347 haha true. Look at my other comment under this about the game I had. It's a put the most exciting game I've played in a light so far. I can send you the link to the replay if you want. But then again jingles probably won't feature it
good job!
WG when they implemented the Premium ammo for credits lost my love for the game. When you play machines such as the Borsig with its paper armour or a T3 light tank to try another nations tech tree and the "5%" of all ammo fired is premium nonsense happened. When you play for an entire weekend and then watch your replays and its more like 80-90% you start to lose the will to live. I finally gave up in a battle where a scumbag did something similar to the foch except he drove to the corner of the map and afk'd, the team could have used a top tier tank but we fought till the end where the last 2 friendlies died and left them with no time left and the afk F&*%^er gets a kolobanov's for doing nothing but winning against 5 enemies. Uninstalled 20 seconds later.
Take away the "Battle" button, and replace it with a "Roll Dice" button. Roll a 6 to win the battle. Spend IRL money on items that can affect the dice roll by as much as 1%.
There is actually a mod that changes battle button with "RNG"
Had to check what a Hellion was ... a troublesome or mischievous person according to webster
I try to be :)
I hate the fact that wargaming make it much more complicated adding a lot of micro transactions even though majority of it’s player base is only barely keeping to what’s happening.
Wargaming was able to balance the game between free to play players and payee players, then suddenly scrapped it all and add a lot of pay to play mechanics. Which make them loose a lot of their casual player base.
so I already thought some of the repair costs of vehicles in war thunder are bad. But in WoT you actually have to spent real money to get ammunition to fight enemies when being uptiered and stock condition just to get a negative outcome out of it?
Thanks Jingles.
Jingles is genuinely pissed off at this guy lol
Thanks for reminding me to never reinstall.
Back in the olden days, you played War Thunder for more realistic gameplay, and world of tanks for faster arcade-y gameplay.
Nowadays you play war thunder to be annoyed 70% of the time, and world of tanks to be infuriated 100% of the time...
It's a fucking shame that WG keeps killing Wot on purpose, the only way War Thunder and world of tanks could be actually brilliant games that they can be, there needs to be competition, but WG does it's best to give War Thunder all the advantages...
Yet another validation of my choice to leave the toxic environment that is The World of Tanks. As if Kellerman's channel wasn't enough, now Jingles just provides further evidence. I look forward to the complete crash and bankruptcy of WoT.
Battle Pass grinder here. Had series of 8 defeats in a row with T25 AT, 7 in a row with UDES 03, got the points. I'm starting to not care if i drop from my 53% general win rate. All that matters is doing the best you can.
There's two sides to the Foch's behavior, I feel. 1 is explainable, the other is just simple. The explainable one is he's frustrated because of the tier progression of WarGaming's games. In order to get to a good vehicle or a vehicle you want, you've got to slog it out in a few POS's. The Foch is probably one of his POS's for his play style and he's frustrated and he just doesn't know how to get it to work. He's also possibly a free player, so just buying free experience to bypass the Foch is not an option.
The simple explanation is he's just a troll who's already got Tier X but has the Foch out and is just dicking around and trying to complete challenges in the most challenging way he can make it for himself, kept failing, got frustrated, and is now just trolling for spunk (and I mean that in the way you'd interpret that Jingles.) He could also have been trying to seal club and got clubbed in return and so this is how he takes out his frustration and stress now. As long as someone suffers by his hands he's spunked up.
