Jingles, i am geussing you mostly do PVE and as such, you need to get the T90MS and trow the mark 3 dmg% increases on there and slap the AI for 1000dmg+ a shot with heat. :^)
+Night Train123 My one issue with Damage upgrades is that you start getting very annoyed whenever your alpha has more health than the target, forcing you to shoot twice. (Or if there's just a lot of badly injured targets in front of you, and your gun horridly overkills them) In that case, might as well get a reload buff. If my reload is already pretty good, but the alpha is low, then I'll consider damage buffs. Did that for the Leopard 1.
+Night Train123 Oh, I do. I just get really annoyed if I have to do it with the Starship or Sheridan. I might hold of for a moment to see if anyone else would shoot it, but I will shoot them if I don't have a choice. Its really annoying when you get sorta pinned down by a tank with 300 HP and you have no choice but to wait 10 or so seconds for the next shot to finish its 40HP off. Leopard 1? 5 seconds and its gone, and I can go acquire another target in 5 seconds. Personal preference, I tend to prefer RoF over Alpha, because I get annoyed when I miss, and the best way to alleviate that annoyance is to shoot again.
+Night Train123 Well, if you have three tanks in front of you, and they all only have 400 health, you may want a gun that does 250 damage and reloads every 5 seconds compared to a gun that does 500 average that reloads every 10 seconds due to the whole "no one shot" thing.
"The Challenger's DPM is shockingly bad" Slap an Intercom Mk3 and Augmented Breech lock on the thing and it's suddenly vastly better. Turns it into a DPM monster, 'specially if you run with the Energy drink consumable too.
+Insert Name Here: _________________________ What he unlocks will be dependent on the branch he unlocks it in. It's my understanding that he token he gets from running up the M1A1 line is still in Wolfli's line. That means that he'll get a tier 9 token only good for the Leopard 2A6, the M1A2, the Crab AFV, or the B1 Draco AFV. The Challenger 2 is in Shiskin's line with the T-90MS MBT, the BMPT-72 "AFV", and the M8 Light tank. But if he wants to blast through tier 8 with "free rep" (XP) He is correct in his assessment that he could unlock a tier 9 every day.... so long as his winnings continue to cooperate. But I think he'll only be able to do it with Rep conversions.
Jingles, you MUST get the Challenger 2 simply because it's the Challenger 2. The pinnacle of modern tank design and a tank that is seen as the envy of the world for its SUPERB protection and excellent gun handling and mobility. Also, it's a Challenger 2, Great Gnomerlord Jingles!
Jingles, on the non wolfi dealer it really depends on what you want to do. The T90MS has fantastic damaage while the challenger 2 is damn near unkillable. The other two are in the middle. I say keep going down the line you were going down. e.g. you unlock with the abrams you buy an abrams, you unlock with an Ariete you unlock a challie 2
+Canis_Lupus all I'm gonna say is if you haven't tried it, you will like it a whole lot more than world of tanks because it is actually well balanced, unlike anything made by wargaming.
I'd say the Draco for Wolfi, or T-90MS for Shiskin. Both tanks have amazing damage output, in different ways. Also good mobility. - T-90MS is your typical Russian MBT, except it has good frontal armor, more so than most russian MBT. Sure it still has frontal weakspots, but all high tier MBT do and they are tiny as hell. This thing also hits like a truck, and reload at roughly same rate as other MBT same tier. It's pretty similar to the T-90, in fact most other tier9 MBT are practically the same compare to their lower tier counterparts, there isn't much difference in gameplay. You could say that about the BMPT-72 too. - B1 Draco may be big and looks ugly, but that thing is like a M41 Bulldog with high alpha. It has 12-shot clip each of them deals good damage at only 16(!) sec clip reload. Penetration is around 300mm, not that high but enough to go through the sides of most MBT, and chew through any other tanks like butter. You can actually clip tier9 MBT from full health with this thing, 2 if you make all shots counts. It's plain ridiculous, probably gonna get hit by nerfbat sometime in the future. - M8 LT is just crap, better wait for future buffs who knows when. - The CRAB though, is VBL on steroids. It has the most ridiculous autocannon (excluding Draco's, but the gun on that thing isn't really an autocannon). Probably the most annoying AFV for tier9 in PvP. In PvE I'm not sure. - Or you could just get Chally 2, because we all know you love it (not sure about the plain gameplay though).
+Robert Charleson Camo isnt but decals are with gold. With Camo there are two rental options and two permanent buy options but they only apply to that tank. Decals on the other hand can be bought for that tank only or for all of your tanks.
+Robert Charleson No one is scared of us germans anymore ... other than the fear of dying from laughter due to our military equipment breaking down. This has become somewhat ridiculous and could offer some comic relief ... if it wasnt so serious.
+TheWTFworks The gun on 'your little Leo' is used on many other countries, some use it arguably better than the Germans do. For example, the Blackpanther (this is just an example), can do 70 kph.... in reverse.
+mad jules Indeed, but It can be very useful when in a fire fight, and needs to back off into cover, whereas some other tanks nowadays can't reverse faster than 25/30 kph, so you know.
@TheMightyJingles - The T9 unlock tokens only work for the same dealer, so I.E. if you got a T9 token from your Ariete, then you can only use it to unlock one of the four T9's in the Shishkin line, so unfortunately, you wont be able to get the Leo 2A6 or the M1A2 with it etc. Also, See its not all bad news when you play online mate, Many video's of yours I've heard you mention how its so hard for you to play as people recognise you and make a beeline towards you to kill you so as to have the bragging rights to say 'I killed Jingles' But surely this replay highlights to you, that people on YOUR OWN team who recognise you, also do there best to protect you and back you up ;)
+Night Train123 Well Ren wears the mask because he loved his grandfather to the point of wanting to be him and as for Rey well many are starting to think alot of theory's and mine is that she is luke's daughter.
+The Mighty Jingles , get the M1A2. When fully upgraded, the armor is monstrous, has a great gun and excellent mobility. And, well, it just looks badass as hell!
Surprise surprise that american icon of a tank (I understand that first iteration of it, not all of them) sucks big time in a russian driven and sponsored game :P
I got the Leopard 2A6. It's pretty great after you get the armor upgrade. It gets rid of the zit-sized weakspot on the front hull that is the driver's hatch. You're literally impenetrable after you get it. On top of all that, it's disgustingly fast in a straight line AND while turning. It's also got a fuckin' 120mm sniper rifle on it. If you want a comparison, I'll put it this way. In World of Tanks, think of how impossible it USED to be to kill a Maus back in the beta. Now think of the Maus with the agility of the Leopard 1, with all the armor intact and a ridiculous power/weight ratio.
Glad to see Jingles admitted to ALWAYS forgetting to take consumables in battle... "Takes the time to put retrofits and camouflage on the tank, but doesn't take consumables... because reasons !!!" Oh Jingles you cheeky scrub-lord, never change :) :D
+McSaar Yeah he should play/post SOME pvp as well, it's a huge part of the game after all. It plays differently than WoT pvp so I don't think his reasoning is particularly good ("If I want to play PVP I got world of tanks").
+McSaar I"d love to see him do it, but if the European server is anything like the NA server, getting a match in PVP can take awhile at tiers above 5 anyway. (Presently in queue for nearly 5 minutes at tier 7. So yeah.)
I would highly recommend the Leo 2A6, Ive had some really amazing games in that Panzer. The best thing about the Leo is that despite its lack of obvious strenghts (T-90MS firepower, Challanger IIs armor, etc) it doesnt have any obvious weaknesses either. A jack-of-all-traits, if you will. Its an overall well rounded tank.
+HighAnders Not really. It's a 30 year old design that was conceived within very hard financial limits. It's been well updated, but it still struggles with the gas turbine and the issue of another gun upgrade. The 140mm gun projects were all cancelled and would have required major redesign in any case. The most recent upgrade cycle has been oriented towards battlefield information sharing and looks to be the right way to go for the least money. Nevertheless, gun and powerplant upgrades should have been made some time ago.
Don't worry jingles you aren't the only one that enters battles with new tanks without consumables. Hell I played through my M1Abrams to the M1A1 with out changing from the stock ammo
from what I understand is that you go on at the time specified adjusted for the time zone you live in and play 5 games PVP or PVE for the Wolfi gold rush event on the 22nd the game tallies up the days you did the mission and gives you gold depending on how many days that you do it, not a separate event on the 22nd.
There's a good reason why the Abrams doesn't go it's advertised top speed. In real life the tank was a bit too heavy and the tracks too weak that if it went too fast it'd actually throw it's tracks. They purposely limited it's speed, so as not to immobilize itself by accident.
Well, I do not think the M1 is represented correctly Jingles. I remember when the beast came out, it outran everything, could turn real good and the stab system on board kept the gun on target, not just in the general direction. The 105 was, if memory serves, the same one that the M60 Series mounted and it was a dang fine gun. I know, I drove the M60 Series tank in the 80's. I have always felt that the reload tme for the M60 Series tracks they have is wrong, because our loaders could really hump those rounds. To receive a GO score on a two target engagement on Tank Table 8 at Graf you had to hit both targets, 1st round, within 8 seconds if memory serves. So the reload time in game is wrong. A standard loader should have been able to get 12 rounds in a minute.
That's what I find so frustrating about these games, their lack of accuracy. Tanks engaging each other from a couple of hundred meters? Tanks playing peek-a-boo by popping around a corner, firing off a round, then popping back? Etc. Etc. On the other hand, it's and arcade game, not a simulator. Still, I would love to take these keyboard warriors out to the range, then on a thirty day field problem. I would laugh my ass off watching them break track in freezing mud while sleet poured down their necks!
Well, to be honest most would be crying for their mommies when they found out how uncool it is to be sitting in the beast in the rain with their hatches closed and still getting soaked from the leaks. Not mention hugging a Pack in mud asshole deep to a 10 foot indian, in sunny Hoenfehls, or Graf, or God forbid Wildflickin. Shudders remembering those days. Never went to Wildflickin though and having heard some of the stories from that place very glad I didn't. Still very proud of the fact that I was a DAT though! B-2-1 Ft. Knox Ky., B Co. 4/63 1st ID, at Ft. Riley Ks., C.Co.2/37 Panzer Kaserne Germany, then my final posting with D C. 2/37 Armor. Proud memories.
+Wookie120 I wasn't a tanker. I was in the Infantry, but two of the units that I served in, 2/34th at FT Stewart, GA, and 1/17th at Camp Casey, South Korea were mechanized. The tankers in my brigade at Stewart drove M-60s (probably a-1s, or a-2s). The tankers in Korea drove M-48s (I don't know which model).
m1a1 has a slight slope to the upper hull. it's only a couple degrees but it is still noticeable and i'm pretty sure the turret front is supposed to be slanted back just a couple hairs more. common aw
I have Leo 2A5 and it's beast the amount of shots you bounce is unbelievable now the Leo 2A6 gets the upgrade for hull which makes the side hull nearly the same as challi 1 only problem with Leo 2A5 and A6 is the gun aim time, even though not fully aimed 8 times out of 10 you will hit otherwise great mobility great ammo and strong hull and impenetrable turret before aps
i have an RC ver of the M1A1 Abrams imported from China, its a 1/15 scale i think? longways, its 2 1/2 feet long and possibly a 1/2 ft tall? sadly the racks on the back of the Abrams has been torn off and one of the smoke carriers broke off (i just need to glue it back on).
In my opinion, you should check out the M8 thunderbolt! It has a 120mm gun ... and It's as fast as a mighty T-34 with some vodka. If you get the hang of it even if you're a bit slow you can provide awesome DPM for your team, and don'T underestimate the armor of the M8, It's suprising how good can it be against autocannons. (exept the warrior, that thing is evil)
The question I have is why is the M1A1 view range better than the M1A2? The A2 has so many improvements to target acquiring and engagement vs. the A1. The Abrams platform is never going to work in this game engine. The armor is designed to defect / absorb tank rounds at one Km of distance.(and even that is dange close) An Abrams keeps it targets at arms length and is never going to be good at knife fighting. It is more of a TD than an MBT in the term of game classification. The game lacks displaying the strength of acceleration with the use of a turbine engine.
Thanks to both you Mr. Jingles and Sir Havoc, I have recently started playing Armored Warfare and I'm absolutely loving this game WAY better then WoTs already! I've been playing WoTs for about 2 years and have spent, well lets just say too much money on that game. One thing I can say for sure is: WG will not be getting another dime outta me until they 100% fix the RNG issues with artillery. I am so sick of getting 1-shot by arty when I'm just bumbling along my way to the battlefront! I completely understand that artillery is in place to prevent camping, and I'm never mad when I get smacked by atry if I catch myself camping. However, getting completely destroyed within the first 30 seconds of a match, especially when I'm just heading to get into position; it just boils my blood. I am so happy that at least in AW the RNG from artillery is a heck of a lot more fair and you get an "incoming arty" warning, which is a nice touch. Anyway, that's enough griping from me. Thanks for the videos and for introducing me to such an awesome game!
Please Jingles, let your first tier 9 tank you unlock be the Leopard 2A6. Reasons: - I'm from Germany and you didn't really show any of the German tanks yet - It has pretty good armor and a pretty good gun and pretty good mobility In short: I think your going to love it.
The M1 is a penance tank, Jingles - you must pay the price before you can achieve greatness in the M1A1. Oh, and as for Tier 9's, the Draco is stupid amounts of fun, I highly recommend it.
After the painful grind of the M60 and the 'Starfish' I gave up with the American line... and I forgot about the 4x rep, guess I need to put down ED:Horizons for a while.
I served aboard both the M1 (during training at Fort Knox in 1988) and the M1A1 (with the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment through to late 1991, including Operations Desert Shield/Storm). It seems to me that the M1 has been strongly nerfed, as it's in most particulars the same tank as the M1A1 except for having a 105mm rifled gun instead of a 120mm smoothbore. I don't recall any dramatic changes otherwise between the two, at least none I had to train for. The mobility issue in particular is strange because both tanks drive like sports cars. Absolutely loved "dune-surfing" in those things. I can only assume that due to the PMC story framework behind Armored Warfare, what's happening with the M1 is that you're getting the hull, tracks and gun, and not much else of what came out of the Lima plant. The American equivalent of the Soviet-era T-72M export model, so to speak. A cheap engine with a jerry-rigged transmission, instead of the classic Lycoming twin-turbine, would seem to explain the lack of acceleration and turn rate.
Is the M1A2 still overpowered with mk3 retrofits? Never actually got it. From what I heard that thing had a 3 second reload, 0.03 accuracy and the highest DPM in the game. Only downside is that it costed a shit ton of credits, you're a glass cannon and that you need to unlock those retrofits.
Yeah, unfortunately the M1 Abrams stock is bad relative to the others. It does get up to 64+ though. On concrete on level ground. I got it to over 74 down hill. But the gun is only useful if you stack damage retrofits.
So my two friends who I play armored warfare with will always call the Begleitpanzer the Bagel Panzer and I didn't think anyone else did so when Jingles called it that I was pretty surprised...although jingles never calls most of the German tanks by their real names so what did I expect.
actually the very fist M1 was the fastest. They didnt have the speed governors on them and they would get to over 70 MPH! The M1A1 heavy got the extra DU armor and they nerfed the speed to about 45mph because the tracks couldn't handle it.
"They changed spawn points to dynamic. they're behind youuuuuu" couldn't be more right. In my Fox, killing ennemies in cap from a bit of distance. A T72A spawns right behind me (30-50m) and gets almost all my health. I prefered the static spawns.
Jingles, you simply must get the Challenger 2, not because it's good, which it's basically just a tier 9 challenger, MBT easy mode, but you must do it for the honor of your heritage! Pip pip, cheerio, a spot of tea and crumpets and all that malarkey! Most importantly the Challenger 2 is by far the sexiest MBT, and I want to hear a history lesson about it from Loremaster Jingles.
Get the leopard. I love the look of them and it is used by Canada and I know some guys that drive it IRL and they say it is like driving the best sports car.
The M1A1 was my first Tier 8 Tank in AW. I use the Uranium Composite Armor on it. Ist really fun to Play because the Tank is not that slow an the Turret turn really fast for ist size.
Dynamic spawn need a LOT of work, at least until it stops spawning fully loaded AFVs 20m behind your TD. Either spawn them unloaded or set some safe distance around players.
Get the Challenger 2 from the Ariete, the T-90MS has BOOMALPHA! but I think you'll like the Challenger 2 more, it's really hard to kill. Don't go for the M8, even in the next patch it won't receive smoke grenades, which is complete and utter BS, because it has no armor as well and it just isn't mobile enough to perform.

My one issue with Damage upgrades is that you start getting very annoyed whenever your alpha has more health than the target, forcing you to shoot twice. (Or if there's just a lot of badly injured targets in front of you, and your gun horridly overkills them) In that case, might as well get a reload buff. If my reload is already pretty good, but the alpha is low, then I'll consider damage buffs. Did that for the Leopard 1.
+Night Train123

I say keep going down the line you were going down. e.g. you unlock with the abrams you buy an abrams, you unlock with an Ariete you unlock a challie 2

i wasnt joking! its soo much better.
+Stormcatepic Eeeeh. Let's just say most of the hype drags the thing down more than helps it, okay?
I'd say the Draco for Wolfi, or T-90MS for Shiskin.
Both tanks have amazing damage output, in different ways. Also good mobility.
- T-90MS is your typical Russian MBT, except it has good frontal armor, more so than most russian MBT. Sure it still has frontal weakspots, but all high tier MBT do and they are tiny as hell. This thing also hits like a truck, and reload at roughly same rate as other MBT same tier. It's pretty similar to the T-90, in fact most other tier9 MBT are practically the same compare to their lower tier counterparts, there isn't much difference in gameplay. You could say that about the BMPT-72 too.
- B1 Draco may be big and looks ugly, but that thing is like a M41 Bulldog with high alpha. It has 12-shot clip each of them deals good damage at only 16(!) sec clip reload. Penetration is around 300mm, not that high but enough to go through the sides of most MBT, and chew through any other tanks like butter. You can actually clip tier9 MBT from full health with this thing, 2 if you make all shots counts. It's plain ridiculous, probably gonna get hit by nerfbat sometime in the future.
- M8 LT is just crap, better wait for future buffs who knows when.
- The CRAB though, is VBL on steroids. It has the most ridiculous autocannon (excluding Draco's, but the gun on that thing isn't really an autocannon). Probably the most annoying AFV for tier9 in PvP. In PvE I'm not sure.
- Or you could just get Chally 2, because we all know you love it (not sure about the plain gameplay though).

Men with big dongs join the lancers, hell hounds is for small fellas
A salute to GOLD Btn. great teamwork and support for the Jingles Man!
JINGLES GET THE CRAB!!!!
+Andy Nguyen *Affirmative!*
Night Train123 lololol wow lol
I have talked to a tank mechanic who worked on the Abrams tank. If you take the governor off, it’ll do 100 mile an hour before it throws a track.
Leo2 A6... always...best tank on the planet.
***** And what gun does that have? Oh wait, the gun of my little leo.
+TheWTFworks The gun on 'your little Leo' is used on many other countries, some use it arguably better than the Germans do. For example, the Blackpanther (this is just an example), can do 70 kph.... in reverse.
+Tai1g good for retreating then..... Should sell it to the french.
+mad jules Indeed, but It can be very useful when in a fire fight, and needs to back off into cover, whereas some other tanks nowadays can't reverse faster than 25/30 kph, so you know.
+mad jules Well memed, Sir.
God I miss what this game might have been............
@TheMightyJingles - The T9 unlock tokens only work for the same dealer, so I.E. if you got a T9 token from your Ariete, then you can only use it to unlock one of the four T9's in the Shishkin line, so unfortunately, you wont be able to get the Leo 2A6 or the M1A2 with it etc.
Also, See its not all bad news when you play online mate, Many video's of yours I've heard you mention how its so hard for you to play as people recognise you and make a beeline towards you to kill you so as to have the bragging rights to say 'I killed Jingles' But surely this replay highlights to you, that people on YOUR OWN team who recognise you, also do there best to protect you and back you up ;)
"Maybe if you throw it off a cliff!"-Jingles. Mr Jingles sir that is the most intelligent thing I've ever heard anyone say about anything!
who are you kidding?
we all know it will be the Challenger 2
2020 and i don't remember seeing an M1 abrams review...
Jingles, what do you think about Star Wars Episode 8?
+Console Peasant Gnome wars episode 8: The salt mines strike back again.
_ Grundel _ Didn't project free Tv get like all it's shows nuked via copyright a little while back.
_ Grundel _ Kat?.
+Night Train123 Well Ren wears the mask because he loved his grandfather to the point of wanting to be him and as for Rey well many are starting to think alot of theory's and mine is that she is luke's daughter.
Night Train123 Because fuck you that's why?.
I like to imagine every morning jingles gets up and spins the wheel o games and what ever it lands on is the game he makes the video of.
Challenger2 mate. Its impressive..
+The Mighty Jingles , get the M1A2. When fully upgraded, the armor is monstrous, has a great gun and excellent mobility. And, well, it just looks badass as hell!
Surprise surprise that american icon of a tank (I understand that first iteration of it, not all of them) sucks big time in a russian driven and sponsored game :P
I got the Leopard 2A6. It's pretty great after you get the armor upgrade. It gets rid of the zit-sized weakspot on the front hull that is the driver's hatch. You're literally impenetrable after you get it.
On top of all that, it's disgustingly fast in a straight line AND while turning. It's also got a fuckin' 120mm sniper rifle on it.
If you want a comparison, I'll put it this way. In World of Tanks, think of how impossible it USED to be to kill a Maus back in the beta. Now think of the Maus with the agility of the Leopard 1, with all the armor intact and a ridiculous power/weight ratio.
I would go for Chally 2 but hey I'm biased being British
Glad to see Jingles admitted to ALWAYS forgetting to take consumables in battle...
"Takes the time to put retrofits and camouflage on the tank, but doesn't take consumables... because reasons !!!" Oh Jingles you cheeky scrub-lord, never change :) :D
You're british jingles, lets not pretend you're not gonna pick the Chally 2 ;p
First Tier 9 tank... The Challenger 2 of course!
You are British after all, and the kettle inside is supposed to brew good tea :)
@The Mighty Jingles please post armored warfare gameplay versus other players not bots, anyway good video
He doesn't like playing AW pvp, he says why in most of his AW videos
he'd rather play PvP mode in world of tanks than in armored warfare.
+McSaar it's impossible, PvP mode is full of bots (at least I hope, for the sake of humanity)
+McSaar Yeah he should play/post SOME pvp as well, it's a huge part of the game after all. It plays differently than WoT pvp so I don't think his reasoning is particularly good ("If I want to play PVP I got world of tanks").
+McSaar I"d love to see him do it, but if the European server is anything like the NA server, getting a match in PVP can take awhile at tiers above 5 anyway. (Presently in queue for nearly 5 minutes at tier 7. So yeah.)
I would highly recommend the Leo 2A6, Ive had some really amazing games in that Panzer. The best thing about the Leo is that despite its lack of obvious strenghts (T-90MS firepower, Challanger IIs armor, etc) it doesnt have any obvious weaknesses either. A jack-of-all-traits, if you will. Its an overall well rounded tank.
I'm early, better make a joke...
these fucking comments
I'd like to see you unlock the M1A2 because 'murica, 'nuff said.
but it's the most advanced and best tank in the world irl
+HighAnders I spotted the American.
M1A2 is a contender, but that wasn't featured in this video.
+HighAnders Not really. It's a 30 year old design that was conceived within very hard financial limits. It's been well updated, but it still struggles with the gas turbine and the issue of another gun upgrade. The 140mm gun projects were all cancelled and would have required major redesign in any case. The most recent upgrade cycle has been oriented towards battlefield information sharing and looks to be the right way to go for the least money. Nevertheless, gun and powerplant upgrades should have been made some time ago.
+Edrycson Abinan I spotted someone who doesn't know about tanks. Patriotism does not excuse ignorance.
+jakeadvanced calling it the most advanced and best tank is totally not biased at all. Sure man, sure.
Don't worry jingles you aren't the only one that enters battles with new tanks without consumables. Hell I played through my M1Abrams to the M1A1 with out changing from the stock ammo
Your first tier 9 has surely got to be the Challenger 2.
from what I understand is that you go on at the time specified adjusted for the time zone you live in and play 5 games PVP or PVE for the Wolfi gold rush event on the 22nd the game tallies up the days you did the mission and gives you gold depending on how many days that you do it, not a separate event on the 22nd.
Unlock tokens only work for tier 9's of the same dealer. Ariete is a Shishkin line, Leopard 2A6 is a Wolfli.
There's a good reason why the Abrams doesn't go it's advertised top speed. In real life the tank was a bit too heavy and the tracks too weak that if it went too fast it'd actually throw it's tracks. They purposely limited it's speed, so as not to immobilize itself by accident.
Thank the person who put that rock there, and hopefully thought that Jingles would need one
Jingles, I believe you should get the Challenger 2 as your first tier 9 because of how much you loved talking about the chally 1 and the chief.
it was a pleasure to play a round with u greetz bull2911 aka BMD4
British armour on that tank, that's why it's so strong. Helping our friends in America again.
"I don't much want to but I pretty much to" oh jingles, you're old and you're crap! XD
Jingles, I recommend the Leo 2A6. Good speed, armor, and gun handling. It's one of my favorite vehicles in the game.
Hey Jingles, I feel your pain, I was on the M1 it was like driving a brick, when we up graded to the M1A1 it was like night and day, an amazing tank.
Id say go for the M1A2 Abrams
Jingles tier 9 tokens only work in the tech tree they're unlocked in. Go up the m1a1 and get the 2a6 with the token, its a ridiculous vehicle
Well, I do not think the M1 is represented correctly Jingles. I remember when the beast came out, it outran everything, could turn real good and the stab system on board kept the gun on target, not just in the general direction. The 105 was, if memory serves, the same one that the M60 Series mounted and it was a dang fine gun. I know, I drove the M60 Series tank in the 80's. I have always felt that the reload tme for the M60 Series tracks they have is wrong, because our loaders could really hump those rounds. To receive a GO score on a two target engagement on Tank Table 8 at Graf you had to hit both targets, 1st round, within 8 seconds if memory serves. So the reload time in game is wrong. A standard loader should have been able to get 12 rounds in a minute.
That's what I find so frustrating about these games, their lack of accuracy. Tanks engaging each other from a couple of hundred meters? Tanks playing peek-a-boo by popping around a corner, firing off a round, then popping back? Etc. Etc. On the other hand, it's and arcade game, not a simulator. Still, I would love to take these keyboard warriors out to the range, then on a thirty day field problem. I would laugh my ass off watching them break track in freezing mud while sleet poured down their necks!
Well, to be honest most would be crying for their mommies when they found out how uncool it is to be sitting in the beast in the rain with their hatches closed and still getting soaked from the leaks. Not mention hugging a Pack in mud asshole deep to a 10 foot indian, in sunny Hoenfehls, or Graf, or God forbid Wildflickin. Shudders remembering those days. Never went to Wildflickin though and having heard some of the stories from that place very glad I didn't. Still very proud of the fact that I was a DAT though! B-2-1 Ft. Knox Ky., B Co. 4/63 1st ID, at Ft. Riley Ks., C.Co.2/37 Panzer Kaserne Germany, then my final posting with D C. 2/37 Armor. Proud memories.
+Wookie120 I wasn't a tanker. I was in the Infantry, but two of the units that I served in, 2/34th at FT Stewart, GA, and 1/17th at Camp Casey, South Korea were mechanized. The tankers in my brigade at Stewart drove M-60s (probably a-1s, or a-2s). The tankers in Korea drove M-48s (I don't know which model).
m1a1 has a slight slope to the upper hull. it's only a couple degrees but it is still noticeable and i'm pretty sure the turret front is supposed to be slanted back just a couple hairs more. common aw
I have Leo 2A5 and it's beast the amount of shots you bounce is unbelievable now the Leo 2A6 gets the upgrade for hull which makes the side hull nearly the same as challi 1 only problem with Leo 2A5 and A6 is the gun aim time, even though not fully aimed 8 times out of 10 you will hit otherwise great mobility great ammo and strong hull and impenetrable turret before aps
i have an RC ver of the M1A1 Abrams imported from China, its a 1/15 scale i think? longways, its 2 1/2 feet long and possibly a 1/2 ft tall? sadly the racks on the back of the Abrams has been torn off and one of the smoke carriers broke off (i just need to glue it back on).
In my opinion, you should check out the M8 thunderbolt! It has a 120mm gun ... and It's as fast as a mighty T-34 with some vodka. If you get the hang of it even if you're a bit slow you can provide awesome DPM for your team, and don'T underestimate the armor of the M8, It's suprising how good can it be against autocannons. (exept the warrior, that thing is evil)
Watching this on my birthday! :)
Thanks for another good one, Jingles!
The question I have is why is the M1A1 view range better than the M1A2? The A2 has so many improvements to target acquiring and engagement vs. the A1.
The Abrams platform is never going to work in this game engine. The armor is designed to defect / absorb tank rounds at one Km of distance.(and even that is dange close) An Abrams keeps it targets at arms length and is never going to be good at knife fighting. It is more of a TD than an MBT in the term of game classification. The game lacks displaying the strength of acceleration with the use of a turbine engine.
Thanks to both you Mr. Jingles and Sir Havoc, I have recently started playing Armored Warfare and I'm absolutely loving this game WAY better then WoTs already! I've been playing WoTs for about 2 years and have spent, well lets just say too much money on that game. One thing I can say for sure is: WG will not be getting another dime outta me until they 100% fix the RNG issues with artillery. I am so sick of getting 1-shot by arty when I'm just bumbling along my way to the battlefront! I completely understand that artillery is in place to prevent camping, and I'm never mad when I get smacked by atry if I catch myself camping. However, getting completely destroyed within the first 30 seconds of a match, especially when I'm just heading to get into position; it just boils my blood. I am so happy that at least in AW the RNG from artillery is a heck of a lot more fair and you get an "incoming arty" warning, which is a nice touch. Anyway, that's enough griping from me. Thanks for the videos and for introducing me to such an awesome game!
To be honest, Jingles playing an M1 Abrams was enough to make me choke on my cereal.
Wow... a platoon in PVE that wasn't absolutely dreadful? This is an entirely new sight for my eyes.
Please Jingles, let your first tier 9 tank you unlock be the Leopard 2A6.
Reasons:
- I'm from Germany and you didn't really show any of the German tanks yet
- It has pretty good armor and a pretty good gun and pretty good mobility
In short: I think your going to love it.
If you like the M1A1 so far Jingles, you should just go for the M1A2. It's just as much of an improvement as the A1 was over the M1.
Don't angle any Abrams because the engine deck that pops up on top of the hull when u turn the turret can be EASILY penned
you've gotta go for the challenger 2. You love the challenger 1, just seems like the logical next step to me.
The M1 is a penance tank, Jingles - you must pay the price before you can achieve greatness in the M1A1. Oh, and as for Tier 9's, the Draco is stupid amounts of fun, I highly recommend it.
After the painful grind of the M60 and the 'Starfish' I gave up with the American line... and I forgot about the 4x rep, guess I need to put down ED:Horizons for a while.
I served aboard both the M1 (during training at Fort Knox in 1988) and the M1A1 (with the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment through to late 1991, including Operations Desert Shield/Storm).
It seems to me that the M1 has been strongly nerfed, as it's in most particulars the same tank as the M1A1 except for having a 105mm rifled gun instead of a 120mm smoothbore. I don't recall any dramatic changes otherwise between the two, at least none I had to train for. The mobility issue in particular is strange because both tanks drive like sports cars. Absolutely loved "dune-surfing" in those things.
I can only assume that due to the PMC story framework behind Armored Warfare, what's happening with the M1 is that you're getting the hull, tracks and gun, and not much else of what came out of the Lima plant. The American equivalent of the Soviet-era T-72M export model, so to speak. A cheap engine with a jerry-rigged transmission, instead of the classic Lycoming twin-turbine, would seem to explain the lack of acceleration and turn rate.
Two frogs crossing a road:
"Watch out! A ca... *SPLAT*"
"Wha...*SPLAT*"
Is the M1A2 still overpowered with mk3 retrofits? Never actually got it. From what I heard that thing had a 3 second reload, 0.03 accuracy and the highest DPM in the game. Only downside is that it costed a shit ton of credits, you're a glass cannon and that you need to unlock those retrofits.
Jingles, you should spend your first tier 9 unlock token on the M1A2 Abrams. Its got lots of health and a good gun. Its the modern day TOG
Yeah, unfortunately the M1 Abrams stock is bad relative to the others. It does get up to 64+ though. On concrete on level ground. I got it to over 74 down hill. But the gun is only useful if you stack damage retrofits.
Yes Jingles, get the Leopard 2A6!
So my two friends who I play armored warfare with will always call the Begleitpanzer the Bagel Panzer and I didn't think anyone else did so when Jingles called it that I was pretty surprised...although jingles never calls most of the German tanks by their real names so what did I expect.
"Howdy folks and welcome to world at warfare" nice Jingles, nice
The Leopard 2A6 is great for skilled players. You should play it, Jingles, and show us how skilled you are.
ive never plated armored warfare so just choose one you like jingles
when the descriptions are just as good as the video
In my opinion the m1a2 Abrahams with hesh package is the coolest looking tank of all time
YOU ARE THE GNOME GOD OF RUclips
PRAISE JINGALS PRAISE JINGALS !!!
actually the very fist M1 was the fastest. They didnt have the speed governors on them and they would get to over 70 MPH! The M1A1 heavy got the extra DU armor and they nerfed the speed to about 45mph because the tracks couldn't handle it.
Challenger II Main battle tank. The best battletested tank currently in service with anyone in the world.
Jingles, Challenger 2. I can't believe you're even asking this man. In fact, if you don't get that I'm reporting you to the Queen.
"They changed spawn points to dynamic. they're behind youuuuuu"
couldn't be more right. In my Fox, killing ennemies in cap from a bit of distance. A T72A spawns right behind me (30-50m) and gets almost all my health.
I prefered the static spawns.
Jingles, you simply must get the Challenger 2, not because it's good, which it's basically just a tier 9 challenger, MBT easy mode, but you must do it for the honor of your heritage! Pip pip, cheerio, a spot of tea and crumpets and all that malarkey!
Most importantly the Challenger 2 is by far the sexiest MBT, and I want to hear a history lesson about it from Loremaster Jingles.
Get the leopard. I love the look of them and it is used by Canada and I know some guys that drive it IRL and they say it is like driving the best sports car.
Yeah the bog standard M1 is pretty balls. The M1A1 though, pretty nice.
Jingels the unlock token only works with the same dealer you have unlocked the token with. keep that in mind. ariete cannot unlock a leo2a6
The M1A1 was my first Tier 8 Tank in AW. I use the Uranium Composite Armor on it. Ist really fun to Play because the Tank is not that slow an the Turret turn really fast for ist size.
Dynamic spawn need a LOT of work, at least until it stops spawning fully loaded AFVs 20m behind your TD. Either spawn them unloaded or set some safe distance around players.
Get the Challenger 2 from the Ariete, the T-90MS has BOOMALPHA! but I think you'll like the Challenger 2 more, it's really hard to kill. Don't go for the M8, even in the next patch it won't receive smoke grenades, which is complete and utter BS, because it has no armor as well and it just isn't mobile enough to perform.
15:30 its the M1A1 Abrams tank jingles, not the M1A2
