From the commentator who brought us "The little tank that could", he has come to bring us "The little ship that could" a sequel that comes to us on RUclips, thank you Jingles!
One thing you’ve taught me jingles, is that when in a DD (mainly speaking on my fletcher and gearing(also legends) is that when I’m out spotted I wait a second to do anything and just sail in a line, as once I’m spotted the other DD almost always smokes up, opens fire/torps, and turns out too get away before there spotted usually resulting in many mistakes you can punish properly
Man, with every video you've published since the completion of your office, production is as good if not better than before you moved. Very proud of you mate, keep up the great work 👍 👏
The Icarus is where I really started to get a feel for the UK DD line and it's a fun little ship. For T6 it's concealment is pretty good. In fact the only thing I don't like is the turret traverse, which is very... Japanese-like in it's painful slowness. It suffers when double up-tiered, but most T6s do. I do like Buda did play the ship 'historically'; British DD doctrine was a very aggressive one (Battles of Narvik, Glowworm's last engagement, Tribal's and Piorun harassing Bismark etc), so the yolo for the Double Strike is just doing it right 👌
I agree with Jingles, the Icarus isn't a destroyer with one or two fantastic tricks, it's a destroyer that is 'good enough' in most everything it does. I frankly like this boat. Plus, paraphrasing Top Gun Maverick, it isn't the ship, it's the Captain. Bravo Zulu Buda ... Well done!
Howdy jingles! You probably wont read this, but Ive been watching you for nearly 5 years now and your uploads are always a highlight of my day. Never, ever change, sir.
I gotta admit I do love the animations they put in when you depth charge someone. I remember growing up, a mate would go to france or italy on holiday, EVERYONE would give him shit loads of money so he could bring back boxes and boxes of bangers. Because illegal in the UK obviously. One of my favourite things we did was to throw them in the lake and the blast would send the water about 10ft in the air. And after 30minutes we'd have to leg it from the police because of the angry locals reporting us🤣 🤣🤣. Those were the days! Just seeing those depth charges in the video reminded me of the fun and games we used to get up to.
I feel like deliberate "kill stealing" is pretty rare. The ultimate goal is to win the game, so if people focus fire on a ship, then over time it will generally average out. I've had top-scoring positions with only 1 kill and mid-scoring positions with 5 kills. A friend who was overly conscious about kill stealing stopped firing at a BB because he thought he hadn't done enough damage to it and didn't want to accidentally kill it. The BB got a final salvo off right as it died and citadel'ed my friend. If he had kept firing on it, it probably wouldn't have been able to get that final hit in.
Agreed. Some of the heated team chat I've heard lately has centered around letting almost-dead ships "get away" as everyone turns their guns elsewhere. Best to secure the kill and victory for the team :)
I have been binge watching a lot of your videos lately and as an American who only discovered the joys of Blackadder about 10 years ago, I love the constant references to that fantastic show!
That game needs to be edited like a typical Yuro vid, high BPM music and all the meme soundbytes too, that was kinda nuts at times. I loved all the parking on top of subs while deploying depth charges, surprised I don't see more of that, then again it might just be not something people who you feature do that often. Zip around, whip around, full speed ahead, charges, torps, smoke, dakka, this game had it all!
The subs were just far enough away from their team and deep enough that he was able to use his hydro, park and make sure of the kill. Most of the time you end up detected and shot at while paying too much attention to ASW.
Hey Jingles been watching your content since I found a video about you years ago, great content keep up the good videos, Long live the Queen, Aussie here
Big shout out to you Jingles for uploading over the years. I've been subscribed to you for 7 years but I've been watching you for 10. You were apart of my childhood and I appreciate you. From Beale AFB, Cheers mate.
Another ship that's more than the sum of its parts. All-around ability. Like the German DDs. Master of none, but quite capable of making life hard for team red.
The Icarus, by virtue of being a DD with hydro does become a much more effective anti-submarine ship than DD's lacking hydro. Once the Icarus can get within 2km of the sub (assuming they are not at maximum depth) the hydro will give the sub's exact position and then the depth charges make for easy kills.
The Icarus is a sports car of a destroyer... quick to accelerate and stop, very manoeuvrable too. Stealth torps are very possible, just slow down. Well played, Buda, showing off the best attributes of a good destroyer.
First, I started watching WOT Vids, then WOW vids, then Mingles with Jingles, then Warhammer vids and now Stray, lest I forget. Each one is entertaining, funny and informative. With the occasional color commentary from Lady Akizuki and Lady Hjusie, and appearances by your human friends too, what more could I ask? Only this. Please keep bringing us the great content we've become accustomed to. 🐈🐈⬛👑✌️🖖 P. S. We still want to meet Rita's new cat, but only when THE CAT is ready to meet us. I'm honored to be given a ❤️ by Jingles himself. Thanks again for your content sir, I look forward to each notification with great anticipation.
Additionally Jingles: In lower Tier battles there is also less Health to begin with and therefore less damage to deal. My rule of thumb is: 10k of dmg for each Tier is avg. Below is bad above is good. So in a T6 Ship I aim for 60k dmg minimum.
Not that sure I would agree. If you are in a battleship then 60K seems doable but when you are in a 12k DD then 60K is a lot to ask. I prefer to look at each battle as how much you can carry based on your own HP pool. Above it, then you have played well, below it then you played poorly. Your result is proportional to the HP you contributed to your teams HP pool. YMMV
12:35 - A (last) 1000 dmg dealt to a target of 100.000 max hp is not reflected in xp reward as "only" 1% of total hp worth of damage, but the kill ribbon itself equals another 15% hp dmg worth of xp and credits, so finishing a 1k hp Kremlin will still provide you with xp equalling around 16k dmg done to that ship. And that counts. That is why killstealing/killsecuring is also a valid strategy and while playing ranked and wanting to save a star, getting kills helps a lot. Vice versa - player with 4+ kills sitting on 3-4th place in xp values BEHIND a player with 0-2 kills but higher bxp; you can clearly see who did most of the job and who only farmed those killing ribbons ;)
Years of watching Jingles and only getting vicarious pleasure from World of Warships begs the question: How different would the game be if the modelling accurately represented the ships and the fleet capability (when all under one flag)?
HMS Icarus... I 'learned how to destroyer' with HMS Icarus and I have had lots of marvellous battles with her. She is still in my port with many battle-honours to her name and she wears her combat scars with pride. ;-) "Si vis pacem para bellum".
Great game, especially the Yolo double strike - but there were sure some potatoes out there (already checked the enemy team names to make sure I wasn't one of them!)...
I’ve enjoyed a fair number of your World of Warships videos, so Thankyou for those and this. Big fan of A-Cat-suki. I am curious if you’re familiar with the battle of RMS Carmania Vs. SMS Cap Trafalgar 1914. I’ve been told it’s one of the wildest WW1 naval battles.
If I'm not mistaken, when it comes to interaction with surface ships, there is no longer any differentiation between operating depth and maximum depth. Hydro will spot a submerged sub at its normal range at periscope depth and 2km at any other depth.
Jingles, Are you aware that later this month they are moving USS TEXAS, BB 35, from it’s long time location at the San Jacinto battlefield toa dry dock in Galveston. This is the first time she’s been moved since 1989. She’s pumped full of foam to seal her and keep her afloat.
Icarus is a fun little ship tho, despite it being only "ok". The ability to stealth launch those torps one by one is just great. You can eat those oblivious low tier BBs for breakfast.

Watching the Icarus just saunter on up alongside those fecking submarines and depth charge them to death without a lick of reprisal... That was damn near porn to me. Feck subs! :P
just when you think he got a double strike, a kraken etc... you realise he used AP ammo on that BB .... either biggest troll ever or just the biggest lucker ever...
I am a destroyer captain main. I routinely fire 120mm AP at battleships. They don't know what the the caliber is initially they just see white AP tracer and you can force them to turn and give side to the larger guns behind you
I would also like to point out that it's a bit odd that a DD can lay smoke, and then can see out of it, but enemy can't see into it. Strange smoke indeed. ( Sonar, Radar, and Hydrophones aside)
Muahahahaha, within the first 30 minutes(at the time of typing this). Love ya Jingles! Been a fan for year. Hope you're doing well! Take care and have a great day :)
Sub kills are relatively "easy" for British DDs because their depth charges do a stupid amount of damage. In this guys case it also helps that both subs were stupid. The smart sub players seem to hang out with their teams and use the stupid range of their torps and low detect to harass you from the safety of their team.
Talking about damage, one thing I can never understand is that teams, time and again, will stop shooting at a nearly dead target that's in their range and change fire to a much healthier ship. It's not just bad target selection, because they had been firing at him... it's selecting the right target first, bringing him down to 5% health and changing target! I have no idea why people do this.
Oh, finally someone is pointing out that percentage damage is what counts And that is why PR-flexing idiots are, well, idiots For those who don’t know, PR is based on actual damage, not percentage damage, and that makes it the most useless stat available to WoWS players
The PR formula is: PR = 700*nDMG + 300*nFrags + 150*nWins. So it's not JUST a damage metric. It also considers wins and kills. It doesn't differentiate what you did damage to, but over a large sample size it's a better metric of performance than either avg damage or kills/battle alone. IMO, solo WR is the only metric that actually represents skill. Furthermore, the most useless stat available is total number of battles played.
@@gretathunderer5596 I was trying to simplify things for those who don't know the PR formula in depth (it's actually based on actual damage/expected damage). Anyway, you seem to be coming to my same conclusion: PR is a shitty metric, valid only for flexing in front of your friends. Total kills and total damage are even dumber than that. I agree that nr of battles played is as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike, but for WR to be really representative of skill you'll need to have 30k battles+
Also, getting the kill is worth about the same as doing 1/3 of the ship's health in damage if I remember correctly. So you do get rewarded for going for finishing shots on low health ships. Also a solo cap is worth about 100 percent of a ships health in XP
i will ask here, someone will know. Since the flag / camo rework what happened to the stealth buff/ dispersion -ve camo. Did they just roll those buffs into all hulls? or are they just gone from the game now?
I'm sure my ships have the same concealment values they've had before the rework, so ships are definitely still getting at least the stealth buff somehow. Not sure if that is connected to having camos on and just not informing the player about it, since I only play with camo on (would have to test if concealment changes if I remove camo). Also can't say anything about the dispersion buff for sure, but if they've left the stealth buff in, I'd assume the other buff is still there, too.
Actually love playing Icarus at Tier VI all that you say is true but the torps are devatating if you land them and who cares that you can't launch them from more than 7km, if you're launching torps at an openning target or more than just outside your spotting you aren't doing it right anyway.
*hears the bad MM that could have been worse* Oh please, once in the Ognevoi, I was the *only* tier 8 in a tier 10 battles; no tier 8s on the enemy team, I was the only tier 8 on my team, everyone else was tier 9 or 10. You can imagine how that ended.
now havnt played a lot with subs and not sure if this is correct but the positioning and play seemed pretty meh. I dont if they changed something but arnt subs rly good at chiling in the back and spamming insanly long ranged torps?
Howdy all! Thanks for featuring my replay jingles, and you are correct that the second pronunciation is correct but we can let that slide 😄
Fantastic match Buda
Well played!
Neat match!! plus on the bright side he pronounced ur name and not just Dave xD
Very well played. I wish I was as good as you.
Very nice battle keep on going !!!
And all that was possible because Buda remembered to equip his grenades.
The gnomey old bastard probably won't learn the lesson
Giggling Jingles, there's a lesson in here for you old man.
Equip a lot of grenades in WH40K!
Do not contact this person, it's not Jingles, it's a scam.
I'm assuming this is a reference, what does it mean?
The Chaos Gate videos
Jingles laugh at the double strike is truly heartwarming.
It's just not a proper WOWS game without a good Jingles laugh
From the commentator who brought us "The little tank that could", he has come to bring us "The little ship that could" a sequel that comes to us on RUclips, thank you Jingles!
The Little Aircraft the could coming soon?
Hopefully a WT video would be coming soon with "The little jet that could" title.
Bets on the featured plane?
He could also do "The little car that could" in either WoT or WT.
I came here to say the same thing.
@@Channy132 hopefully. Then the trilogy be complete
At 7:15 he is probably dropping smoke in order to provide cover to the friendly Scharnhost
Bingo. The dead giveaway is when he keeps looking back & forth between the Scharny & the enemy.
First the little tank that could, now the little ship that could? Points for creativity I guess.
Up next, the little plane that couldn't, RIP World of Warplanes

Damnit Jingles, it is three in the morning and I'm trying to sleep.
Another thing to note is the absolute chonk depth charges that the brit dds get. 5k damage and 10 drops. its absolute carnage :D

48 depth charges.
Very efficient
There was also over 500k in potential damage to a ship with 12,100hp. That must have inflated his stats a bit.

Just letting you know- I bought that you would approve.
Can we have a submarine replay, so we can see the state of gameplay/fun? event a short one? plz?
Jingles you got old, you are repeating yourself
now havnt played a lot with subs and not sure if this is correct but the positioning and play seemed pretty meh. I dont if they changed something but arnt subs rly good at chiling in the back and spamming insanly long ranged torps?
