just as an example of how good the armour is on the challenger 2 which is just a slightly updated version of the same armour, a few years ago a division of challenger 2s came under fire and a single tank took about 30 direct hits from RPG's and 17 direct hits from antitank rockets upon which it rolled over onto its turret the rest of the tanks sat next to it and focused its light weapon fire (machine guns) onto its arse and kept fire on it to stop insurgents from climbing on top and setting fires to cook the crew, after the tank got recovered into the workshop all that was found to be damaged on it was the sighting units (from when it rolled on top of them) 3 hours in the workshop to replace the sights and it was back in service
Depleted Uranium is also an extremely effective kinetic penetrator jacket not just because of its density, but because it shears under pressure which helps to maintain the penetrating tip shape of the round, and also because it's pyrophoric, as in it combusts in air. So when your DU-tipped penetrator clears the armor hull, any splinters and debris formed by the abrasive action of shearing through the armor burn inside the vehicle. It's like a giant self-sharpening self-igniting tank harpoon.
+Michael Fisher I want to apologize on behalf of our friend xzavier palomo. It would appear he was struck by shit to the brain as he wrote that comment!
I could listen to you talk about literally anything for any length of time Jingles, but as I've said before do please use the time to continue teaching us. Videos like this one are absolutely fascinating, and continue to be the best you put out in my mind. It's what I subbed for, despite having stayed for the absolute pants-on-head hilarity. xD
Fun fact SRJ, Kosovo 1999. Challenger 2 got stuck in mud, and British soldiers couldn't get it out so they asked for help from Serbian soldiers. Vehicle that got them out on solid ground was Serbian t55 tank.
This video is genuinely my favorite video of yours I've ever watched. Not even bothered with the game-play. The history, logistics and general way you went about making the video were top notch. Good stuff man, keep at it!
About the T-64s, the Soviets never Sold T-64 MBTs as export, they only got used in Soviet Nations like Ukriane where they are still used today apart from that no export, in the end the Iraki army was using T-54/55, T-62, T-72 and some chinese derivitives like the Type 59
Perhaps my favourite video so far. I'm not a huge AW fan, but the information you give is second to none. My old service mate Eddie (not incompetent) now works on Challenger II and this is just great!
+Domen Gostincar Oh, that's bull-crap! Curse you, Obsidian! Why are you making it so hard to unlock your own countries Main Battle Tank. So unpatriotic! ;) Seriously, though, it's not fair... :(
+Raptorx911 They are simply showing WG they aren't biased toward their own country. Being an American, I quite like that....And it has been difficult to add in a tier 6 for that line. ;)
Michael Crisci Aye, I can appreciate it taking a bit more work. However, the Challenger, given it's prowess, should cost as much as a tear 6 AND 7 to get to in both experience and credits. If they add in a tier 6 there later, they could give it free to those that already grinded out the Chally. It's simply stupid that it's so much easier to get to the Challenger than to the other tier 7s, I was surprised when I found out it was so. It's seems like a major oversight. Like, if I really wanted a tier 7 fast, there is no reason not to go for the Chally, as it's simply much easier. Which is a little strange, to say the least.
All these stories and information about vehicles is fantastic. More please! (Obviously you already do them for WoT, WOWS, and WT), we just haven't seen any for a while. Thanks Jingles!
Cheeki Breeki I understand that, but not why Jingles was going on about how you had to earn enough xp for both a tier VI AND VII combined, making it really hard to acquire.
No. Unfortunately, Jingles and I and all the other OG players remember just how good this game was when Obsidian Entertainment was developing it. Back when it wasn't just a terrible modern knockoff of World of Tanks.
I was thinking throughout this video what a good and intuitive video this is, then at the end Mr Jingles mention how happy in his pants he was for owning one. Way to bring the tone down. Much love. x
Jingles, can I ask a quick favour.is it possible to get the sources on what you say here? doing a bit of personal research as part of an argument with friends
+thebladeofchaos Look up the Haynes Owners Workshop Manual on the Chally. Written by a retired British Army Lt. Col. who spent 20 years in Chiefs and Challies.
+Victor Reyes Jingles plays mostly PvE mode in AW, and you dont have that is WOT so you can't really compare AW with WOT. But if you ask me its better in every way and this game is still in beta.

+Magni56 The Soviets never exported it but the Ukrainians have. In 2014 the Democratic Republic of the Congo ordered 50 T-64BV-1 tanks from the Ukrainian company Ukrspetsexport.
Jingles did you find that you needed to grind a lot of credits after the tank was at 100% researched? i just got the leopard 2av tier 6 to 100% today but i am still 3 million credits away from the tier 7 leopard 2. i find this very large gap to be frustrating in the extreme edit i've only been PvE, can't say i care for PvP
ya guess you missed the part about not caring for the PvP game play, guess if AW is going to be like WG and treat PvE players like bastard children i'll find something else to play
Another great video Jingles.It made me happy and sad.Happy to see a great tank getting the respect it deserves even if only in a game , and also bringing back happy memories of working on the vehicle.Sad because I will never have the joy of flying about in one of these magnificent beasts or it's even more potent descendant again.Keep up the good work fella.Quis Separabit.
+doublemeasure Despite being a British invention, the British focused on infantry up until, and including the first part of WW2, as opposed to tank warfare.
Wow! When you do a tank review on a beloved machine you don't hold back! Absolutely brilliant synopsis on the history and current status, let alone the capabilities and the secrecy about the armour, of this tank. Cheers from Canada!
JohnnyB ftw Hahah, No, i the tanks look like its painted, just same colors on the tanks, if you compare and ELC amx to one of those AW tanks, you can CLEARLY see wich is cooler/HD.
This has been a hugely informative and entertaining video, excellent work sir! I would LOVE to see more videos like this covering other tanks. Even though I'm a dyed in the wool American, you may have converted me to a love of British tanks. I understand that videos like this must take a monster effort to produce, but if you can do it, please make MOAR!
Woah, ok, you didn't collect the facts, someone else did, but, gotta say this since I was there....Abrams did not have to clean their filters every 90 minutes, only once a week at the most. Yes, the turbines did suffer from sand scuffing, but it wasn't debilitating to the overall performance. Oh yeah, one other thing, didn't see a single T-64 the whole time there, 55's, 62's, yeah, plenty of them, and masses of BRDM and BMP variants. 72's??? I saw one on the Highway to Hell that was knocked out from aircraft fire.
I would think those 90 minutes would be a hyperbole combined with occasional bad conditions, but what do I know, wasn't there ^^; ...but that would seem logical to me. Also yes, it would be impossible for you to see a T-64 in Iraq, as it never left the USSR. Only recently have Ukrainians talked about exporting them, not sure if successfully.
More of this kind of video! this was worthy of the history/Discovery channel *if they actually showed some actual documentary's that is* Big fan jingles! keep up the great work!
+TheNecromancer6666 Yeah, but you're 'Murica, you have much more land's worth of people, materials, and other such resources to work with, we have our little island which, up until WW2 had decided to focus on infantry.

Nice one Jingles, enjoyed the chally immensely. Currently 45% through the Ariete, you will need to have enough spare rep to unlock the armour pack (+2.8mill cred) but it also is a face forward tank with 5-600dmg per shot, very enjoyable.Thanks for the AW videos, its my game of choice and its great to see vids in a format I enjoy.
I live just down the road from the former ROF Leeds (or Vickers as everyone called it), literally down a single road, its a car dealership now. You'd occasionally be lucky enough to see a tank sat outside the factory. I never knew about the cosmetic armour on the Challenger 1. Looking forward to you unlocking the Challenger 2, what a beauty.
I do love a video where Jingles spends nearly forty minutes gushing over something he's really excited for. He's like a big kid that just got a new airfix model, and his enthusiasm really is contagious. I really should get around to downloading this game...
As a languages student, allow me to tell you that your videos are not only funny, but they also improve my english level. Having said that I must add that the other day I had an awkward moment during an oral exam, when I said 'it makes me happy' and then involuntarily added 'in my pants'. Thank you, Jingles!
I really enjoyed the added depth of historical information in this episode. I miss the old episodes similar to this. Hope that means we'll be getting more like it again. :)
Jingles, the big thing about DU isn't just the density, it's the fact that Uranium is pyrophoric meaning that it will burn. And when going through armor, DU will get up to the ignition temperature and start burning. Once it's burning, it doesn't stop, much like white phosphorus and will literally melt the tank where it hit.
Nice tank, I have to agree about the Chieftain, a friend worked at Chillwell depot, Beeston, Nottingham. which had a full time job repairing them and returning them to unit.
Yes, I am an USA guy. This is a great tank. Not taking on-line gaming into accout, you Brits have produced some really good tanks over the years. I never served in the military but did work on many electronic systems for the M1A1, Sikorsky, Grunin and the space suites for the NASA shuttle missions. Was it a early Challenger that was used by Israel? They put a ball and chain armor to cover the weak spot between the hull and turret. Something so simple and effective. Love your stuff!
Jingles - Just to let you know "Torsion Bars (TB) ARE NOT connected to their opposite number Rod Wheel station on the other side of the Tank". TBs can only twist in One Direction and need to be anchored IOT provide a rebounding twist. They are housed or retained in a splined recess adjacent to the opposite side roadwheel station which is why TB equipped vehicles have offset roadwheels - 1 side is set further forward from the other.
Very good video Jingles, I very much enjoyed the whole thing. I am actually in the regiment The Royal Lancers and I can confirm that the longest tank kill was by one Cpt Newman who was a lancejack at the time of the shot. I would request of you to make more videos like this as I found it exceptionally educational towards my profession and if you made vidoes on enemy AFV's such as T-72 or BMP-2 for example I would greatly appreciate it.
Jingles, a funny fact about a serten brittish tank that was used by The Dutch army was the centurion mark 1 ( i believe mark 1) the Dutch army removed the Pipes that have hot water from the engine running trough the crew compartments ( basicly making the crew compartment a bit more comfortable temparature) because quote: "we dont want the crew to fall asleep" unquote.. im not sure if they did the same with its replacement tank, the leopard.
I love Armored Warfare for that reason. You don't have to grind for upgrades in a PVP environment. That is one of the biggest issue I have with WOT while grinding your upgrades in PVP you have to play with some serious disadvantages. Trying to get more exp and playing the tank the way you should sometimes is not possible. Most people will call you belittling names because you are a noob but they don't care that you are in a stock tank. Love your videos Jingles even the ones I may not be all that interested in you still do a wonderful job and I wanted you to know you are great at what you do.
while I was at Royal Ordnance Nottingham, there was a railcar parked in a warehouse that held Two chieftain tanks that had been sold to the shah of Iran. Because of the revolution they obviously couldn't be delivered or sold to anyone else, they sat there for years and I don't know what actually finally happened to them. I can attest also to the security of Chobham (we pronounced it cob-ham) as no one was allowed near a challenger 1 we had on site without an armed guard, or without special clearance.
Jingles, you seriously need to just do History episodes focusing on wars and battles in modern armored conflict. You discussing the Gulf war was the most interesting thing I've seen in a long time.
I realy hope that this is getting a more regular thing. I loved the history lessons on the WoT tanks. And getting that for the modern stuff would be incredible!
You're lucky, Jingles. Not long ago, Challenger 1 apparently had a massive frontal weakspot removed in the most recent major content patch, one bad enough that some players were actually complaining that the frontal armor was all but useless because everyone just aimed at it. So you picked the right time to get it!
Jingles, I've just gotten my Chally 1 fully upgraded, and I absolutely adore it! So far my record for "Damage Mitigated" in a PvE match is right around 18k. This tank is a real boss!
Jingles i dunno if anyone has mentioned this but when engaging BMPT vehicles you will have much better luck hitting the turret than the hull; the hull is always ridiculously tough but the turret is paper thin. I loved the historical commentary.
Actually, Jingles, The grind from the Chief Mk.5 to the Challenger 1 is the same as any tier 5 to 6 grind. For example, the grind from the Chief to the Challenger is 135,000 reputation. And the grind from the Begleit Panzer 57 (tier 5) to the Stingray is 135,000 reputation. But the grind from the Stingray 1 (tier 6) to the stingray 2 (tier 7) is 270,000 reputation.
Great video jingles once again!! I had the honour of serving in chieftain, challenger 1 and 2 and have to say although the challengers were far superior to the chieftain, the chieftain was more fun to drive!! Also easier for crews to work on. You would always find chieftains parked in troop hangers, but challengers spent most there time with the REME!!
Really enjoyed the video and finding out some additional history of the vehicle. Thank you! I ended the night yesterday at 56% in my Chieftain, but must say after this that I am really inspired to grind through the remaining 44%. I would make a video of the Challenger I for you if I only knew how. So hopeless LOL
Congrats on getting the Challenger! It't a beast and hands down my favorite vehicle in AW. Don't listen to the haters Jingles, keep the AW content coming!
Another great thing about the depleted uranium projectiles is that they have an incindiary effect, where the ablation of the penitrator creates a fine powder of DU that reacts quickly with oxygen and catches fire, it is also horribly toxic making destroyed vehicles completely un salvageable.
They gave it a great boost to armor and damage dealt in update 0.11 (also finally corrected the 'overmatch' issue which would heavily penalize AP users). I really enjoyed it.
I heard that the Challenger I does exceedingly well in PvE but rather poorly in PvP. Didn't inquire as to why, but I am greatly looking forward to getting the Chally 1. Great video again Jingles! Was interesting to learn the history behind this tank as well.
Random fact in some states in America (I'm Australian) you can own tanks there are no laws governing it you just need the main cannon disabled and rubber tracks too drive on the road you can also buy some tanks online
Came back to say that I was heavily inspired by this video in particular to start grinding out this line... happy to say I am the proud owner of both the Chal 1 And a C1 Ariete :D BEAST of a machine!!
@@chaseandrew7896 Edit to my original comment, I'm about halfway through the chall2 !! XD.. chal is a tough tank to grind but oh well.. and yeah this game is so much fun!!
One of my clan mates used to work for the company that tested Chobham armour. He basically got paid to shoot the armour with many different types of shells, explosives and bullets to see what it did and report it. He's told me some amazing stories about what they used to get up to there.
Mr. Jingles, I would like to say that you do a very good job. I love your historically accurate commentary during games. I just wanted to give you a little tidbit of useless information ( God knows we all love useless information). Americans do not refer to the 'toe plate' of the tank as a lower glacis. We simply call it the glacis. There's the front slope, and then there's the glacis. And the turret monster is very real. As a tanker in the U.S. Army, I heard many stories of drivers heads being removed and limbs amputated by gunners and TC's traversing their turrets while the drivers were getting in and out of their station through the turret. This is why I always climbed in through the drivers hatch from the front slope. I would lay on my back, and fall in head first. If done correctly, no injury follows.
The ERA modifiers are separate to the armour modifiers. You have to multiply them together to get the actual modifier. For KE, this becomes 4*1.55=6.20. This of course only applies to the first hit in one particular area. Also, because its a multiplier and not a flat armour increase, thin-skinned vehicles like the BMP-3 will probably get penetrated through the ERA regardless.
just as an example of how good the armour is on the challenger 2 which is just a slightly updated version of the same armour, a few years ago a division of challenger 2s came under fire and a single tank took about 30 direct hits from RPG's and 17 direct hits from antitank rockets upon which it rolled over onto its turret the rest of the tanks sat next to it and focused its light weapon fire (machine guns) onto its arse and kept fire on it to stop insurgents from climbing on top and setting fires to cook the crew, after the tank got recovered into the workshop all that was found to be damaged on it was the sighting units (from when it rolled on top of them) 3 hours in the workshop to replace the sights and it was back in service

Revolutionary hydro-gas suspension? that would be the Austin Allegro then, but the armour wasn't great on that.
Allegro was probably a tad more reliable, and of course it had the trendy square steering wheel. 8-)
All these stories and information about vehicles is fantastic. More please! (Obviously you already do them for WoT, WOWS, and WT), we just haven't seen any for a while. Thanks Jingles!
Hang on, isn't the Challenger I one of the easiest tier VIIs to unlock, because it only costs as much XP as a tier VI while having a standard price?
+Ed Stretton you are correct !... i thought they were gunna fix it at some point but looks to me like Obsidian have made a bit of an oversight
+Ed Stretton
Yep, that's right. Same exp as a tier 6, cost of a tier 7.
It's a stepgap measure until the remaining tiers are filles.
Cheeki Breeki I understand that, but not why Jingles was going on about how you had to earn enough xp for both a tier VI AND VII combined, making it really hard to acquire.
Ed Stretton
Because he's old and crap as he himself has admitted often enough and won't pay attention to such things.
Great stuff again. I often don't even watch the video's (attentively) but just listen to your story. Very entertaining.

Also yes, it would be impossible for you to see a T-64 in Iraq, as it never left the USSR. Only recently have Ukrainians talked about exporting them, not sure if successfully.
Sgt Bones what was it like killing soviet era tanks in a modern tank?
It is a little bit old video, but, it is always a real joy to watch your videos Jingles. Added it in my play list.
Shout out to my NATO brothers for making this beast.
From a former M1A1 tank crewman.
Both are good tanks
More of this kind of video! this was worthy of the history/Discovery channel *if they actually showed some actual documentary's that is*
Big fan jingles! keep up the great work!
The leopard 1 and 2 want to have a word with you, Jingles.
Leo 1 is not relevant in this context, since it had no armor whatsoever
Ah, a History lesson about the Challenger tank and its special armor. Never a boring moment when Jingles does the talking :)
Jingles i aplreciate your love to the challenger. But from the technical point of view the Leopard 2 did anything better.
+TheNecromancer6666 Yeah, but you're 'Murica, you have much more land's worth of people, materials, and other such resources to work with, we have our little island which, up until WW2 had decided to focus on infantry.
+TheNecromancer6666 Maybe the Chally 1 compared to the Leopard 2, but Chally 2 compared to Leopard 2? More of an even match.
+Cameron McAllister wait I thought the Leopard 2 is a German tank
TheTrueDankMemes Fixed it, thought it was 'Murican, but still.
+Matt Green Depends on the Leopard Version. The A5 and A6 Leopard 2s are faster, have more firepower and are better protected then the challenger.
Easily one of the greatest videos he's ever made. I could watch this 20 times in a row and not get bored.
did you say 3rd world war?? there was no world war 3
+USRANGER You noticed that, did you?
+USRANGER That's what the lizardmen want you to think.
+USRANGER We'll have to let you off easy this time, maybe stick to less educational videos without hypothetical talk eh?
+USRANGER "In the event of world war 3 in Europe." Take a while to think that phrase over.
+The Mighty Jingles thats just call counting the unknown into it :) .... Dino vs ********* was kinda WW ... jingles most be remenberning that from his ages =P !
Brilliant video as usual Jingles! Thoroughly enjoyed the info bites on the procreation of Challenger keep up the good work brother. Cheers.
I'm starting to think the chally 1 is underrated and the M1 Abrams is overrated 😱
Wacky Tic Tac just check the kill lists it's clear what tank is best
Ian King. Can you show me the kill lists :D
Dear MR. Jingles the information you give out i wish i had you as my history teacher in my school day because I would actually learn some thing. Thanks for the awesome effort and the Information you give out. Peace from Croatia!
enough with the pve play some pvp the pve is starting to get really boring
+basebilljr07 He shows PVP you know. Watch the entire video.
+basebilljr07 If you want PvP go play PvP yourself.
Also... I can't help it. Enough* with the PvE* play,* some PvP*.* The* PvE* is starting to get really boring.*

Nice one Jingles, enjoyed the chally immensely. Currently 45% through the Ariete, you will need to have enough spare rep to unlock the armour pack (+2.8mill cred) but it also is a face forward tank with 5-600dmg per shot, very enjoyable.Thanks for the AW videos, its my game of choice and its great to see vids in a format I enjoy.
Challenger is super ugly.
+Akuu DE That's just your opinion.
Your obviously wrong opinion...
Don't hurt its feelings......you wouldn't like it when it's angry
Obvious troll is Obvious
whe respect your opinion... and now shut upp and go to the salt mine.
Well Jingles, I can honestly say this. Your videos conviced me to try this game and WoT on my new laptop...And I am happy I did.
Jingles, your interrupting Rita's live stream was not funny at all.
An almost constant interruption is even less funny BTW
I saw the whole thing last night
+Silas Kuemmerle You seem but hurt
+TRUGAMER45 He's been working in the salt mines soo he is Salty =)
+Silas Kuemmerle Aren't you a special snowflake
this was the video that got me playing AW. this tank is a beast. I am nearly out of it now and looking forward to tier 8 and 9. Thanks Jingles
I love how you're videos are entertaining and educational. You sure can tell a story well.
Brilliant video Jingles. The best so far. I'm about to watch it again.
Good Job on this video Jingles. Great work on all the tech talk about this tank. Enjoyed all the detail.
I live just down the road from the former ROF Leeds (or Vickers as everyone called it), literally down a single road, its a car dealership now. You'd occasionally be lucky enough to see a tank sat outside the factory.
I never knew about the cosmetic armour on the Challenger 1. Looking forward to you unlocking the Challenger 2, what a beauty.
I do love a video where Jingles spends nearly forty minutes gushing over something he's really excited for. He's like a big kid that just got a new airfix model, and his enthusiasm really is contagious.
I really should get around to downloading this game...
One of the best videos you have done in ages. More please.
As a languages student, allow me to tell you that your videos are not only funny, but they also improve my english level. Having said that I must add that the other day I had an awkward moment during an oral exam, when I said 'it makes me happy' and then involuntarily added 'in my pants'. Thank you, Jingles!
I really enjoyed the added depth of historical information in this episode. I miss the old episodes similar to this. Hope that means we'll be getting more like it again. :)
Jingles, the big thing about DU isn't just the density, it's the fact that Uranium is pyrophoric meaning that it will burn. And when going through armor, DU will get up to the ignition temperature and start burning. Once it's burning, it doesn't stop, much like white phosphorus and will literally melt the tank where it hit.
Nice tank, I have to agree about the Chieftain, a friend worked at Chillwell depot, Beeston, Nottingham. which had a full time job repairing them and returning them to unit.
another great video jingles, i never get tired of listening
Loved hearing the history of the tank. Anytime you want to talk about modern tanks all you hear about is Abrams. Very refreshing
Thanks Mr Jingles. Another superb video. You deserve all of your success.
Yes, I am an USA guy. This is a great tank. Not taking on-line gaming into accout, you Brits have produced some really good tanks over the years. I never served in the military but did work on many electronic systems for the M1A1, Sikorsky, Grunin and the space suites for the NASA shuttle missions.
Was it a early Challenger that was used by Israel? They put a ball and chain armor to cover the weak spot between the hull and turret. Something so simple and effective.
Love your stuff!
Jingles - Just to let you know "Torsion Bars (TB) ARE NOT connected to their opposite number Rod Wheel station on the other side of the Tank".
TBs can only twist in One Direction and need to be anchored IOT provide a rebounding twist. They are housed or retained in a splined recess adjacent to the opposite side roadwheel station which is why TB equipped vehicles have offset roadwheels - 1 side is set further forward from the other.
My Dad used to drive the Challenger 1, I have been inside the Challenger 2 and they are such a beautiful looking machine.
Great video jingles! You have done what I suggested in the last Armoured Warfare video.
Excellent video, Mr. Jingles. I just bought mine yesterday as well and it's a lovely machine!
Very good video Jingles, I very much enjoyed the whole thing. I am actually in the regiment The Royal Lancers and I can confirm that the longest tank kill was by one Cpt Newman who was a lancejack at the time of the shot. I would request of you to make more videos like this as I found it exceptionally educational towards my profession and if you made vidoes on enemy AFV's such as T-72 or BMP-2 for example I would greatly appreciate it.
Jingles, a funny fact about a serten brittish tank that was used by The Dutch army was the centurion mark 1 ( i believe mark 1) the Dutch army removed the Pipes that have hot water from the engine running trough the crew compartments ( basicly making the crew compartment a bit more comfortable temparature) because quote: "we dont want the crew to fall asleep" unquote.. im not sure if they did the same with its replacement tank, the leopard.
I love Armored Warfare for that reason. You don't have to grind for upgrades in a PVP environment. That is one of the biggest issue I have with WOT while grinding your upgrades in PVP you have to play with some serious disadvantages. Trying to get more exp and playing the tank the way you should sometimes is not possible. Most people will call you belittling names because you are a noob but they don't care that you are in a stock tank. Love your videos Jingles even the ones I may not be all that interested in you still do a wonderful job and I wanted you to know you are great at what you do.
You learn something every day. Hiding the real armor on this thing is pure genius!
while I was at Royal Ordnance Nottingham, there was a railcar parked in a warehouse that held Two chieftain tanks that had been sold to the shah of Iran. Because of the revolution they obviously couldn't be delivered or sold to anyone else, they sat there for years and I don't know what actually finally happened to them. I can attest also to the security of Chobham (we pronounced it cob-ham) as no one was allowed near a challenger 1 we had on site without an armed guard, or without special clearance.
Jingles, you seriously need to just do History episodes focusing on wars and battles in modern armored conflict. You discussing the Gulf war was the most interesting thing I've seen in a long time.
OH BOY! a 40 min vid from jingles *phones take-away shop* :) Im now sat eating my tea as always watching Jingles :D
I realy hope that this is getting a more regular thing. I loved the history lessons on the WoT tanks. And getting that for the modern stuff would be incredible!
Awesome video man its crazy how the new way of thinking/designing a tanks survival from how it was in WW2
really interesting video jingles! loved hearing about the history of the Challenger
Every hour checking for a new video from Jingles
this was a really good video jingles, really put in the effort and it showed. well done sir
You're lucky, Jingles. Not long ago, Challenger 1 apparently had a massive frontal weakspot removed in the most recent major content patch, one bad enough that some players were actually complaining that the frontal armor was all but useless because everyone just aimed at it. So you picked the right time to get it!
Jingles, I've just gotten my Chally 1 fully upgraded, and I absolutely adore it! So far my record for "Damage Mitigated" in a PvE match is right around 18k. This tank is a real boss!
Top Notch quality commenting by the Mighty Jingles!
Loved the part where u claimed a double kill ramming and gunning to your right side.
If only he knew what they were going to do with the chall and the rest of the game
Jingles i dunno if anyone has mentioned this but when engaging BMPT vehicles you will have much better luck hitting the turret than the hull; the hull is always ridiculously tough but the turret is paper thin.
I loved the historical commentary.
Actually, Jingles, The grind from the Chief Mk.5 to the Challenger 1 is the same as any tier 5 to 6 grind. For example, the grind from the Chief to the Challenger is 135,000 reputation. And the grind from the Begleit Panzer 57 (tier 5) to the Stingray is 135,000 reputation. But the grind from the Stingray 1 (tier 6) to the stingray 2 (tier 7) is 270,000 reputation.
this was a great history lesson. thanks jingles. if only high school was this interesting.
Great video jingles once again!! I had the honour of serving in chieftain, challenger 1 and 2 and have to say although the challengers were far superior to the chieftain, the chieftain was more fun to drive!! Also easier for crews to work on. You would always find chieftains parked in troop hangers, but challengers spent most there time with the REME!!
Really enjoyed the video and finding out some additional history of the vehicle. Thank you! I ended the night yesterday at 56% in my Chieftain, but must say after this that I am really inspired to grind through the remaining 44%.
I would make a video of the Challenger I for you if I only knew how. So hopeless LOL
Congrats on getting the Challenger! It't a beast and hands down my favorite vehicle in AW.
Don't listen to the haters Jingles, keep the AW content coming!
Hope you get your Challenger 2 as soon as possible Jingles, looking forward to hear the background story of that tank in real life!
Another great thing about the depleted uranium projectiles is that they have an incindiary effect, where the ablation of the penitrator creates a fine powder of DU that reacts quickly with oxygen and catches fire, it is also horribly toxic making destroyed vehicles completely un salvageable.
They gave it a great boost to armor and damage dealt in update 0.11 (also finally corrected the 'overmatch' issue which would heavily penalize AP users). I really enjoyed it.
I heard that the Challenger I does exceedingly well in PvE but rather poorly in PvP. Didn't inquire as to why, but I am greatly looking forward to getting the Chally 1.
Great video again Jingles! Was interesting to learn the history behind this tank as well.
Random fact in some states in America (I'm Australian) you can own tanks there are no laws governing it you just need the main cannon disabled and rubber tracks too drive on the road you can also buy some tanks online
Entertaining and informative as always. Keep up the good work Jingles!
Came back to say that I was heavily inspired by this video in particular to start grinding out this line... happy to say I am the proud owner of both the Chal 1 And a C1 Ariete :D BEAST of a machine!!
I came back and I miss this game so much.
@@chaseandrew7896 Edit to my original comment, I'm about halfway through the chall2 !! XD.. chal is a tough tank to grind but oh well.. and yeah this game is so much fun!!
One of my clan mates used to work for the company that tested Chobham armour.
He basically got paid to shoot the armour with many different types of shells, explosives and bullets to see what it did and report it.
He's told me some amazing stories about what they used to get up to there.
Mr. Jingles, I would like to say that you do a very good job. I love your historically accurate commentary during games. I just wanted to give you a little tidbit of useless information ( God knows we all love useless information). Americans do not refer to the 'toe plate' of the tank as a lower glacis. We simply call it the glacis. There's the front slope, and then there's the glacis. And the turret monster is very real. As a tanker in the U.S. Army, I heard many stories of drivers heads being removed and limbs amputated by gunners and TC's traversing their turrets while the drivers were getting in and out of their station through the turret. This is why I always climbed in through the drivers hatch from the front slope. I would lay on my back, and fall in head first. If done correctly, no injury follows.
The ERA modifiers are separate to the armour modifiers. You have to multiply them together to get the actual modifier. For KE, this becomes 4*1.55=6.20. This of course only applies to the first hit in one particular area. Also, because its a multiplier and not a flat armour increase, thin-skinned vehicles like the BMP-3 will probably get penetrated through the ERA regardless.
