Hey there, The_Cool_Kids20 here. One fact about my division mate Wolf in this battle: he got 10 achievements as well. He got the same achievements as me, except he earned a High Caliber and AA Defense Expert in place of my Kraken and Double Strike. Props to him, he's a beast in Montana.
Lovely as always to be featured here old man, last time was Game of Throws: Season 2 Episode 3! Thankfully this game didn't get placed into that playlist.
Much love from the USA.
Nicely played!
GG, 😂 love the surprise of a radar Minotaur! Thank you for sharing! Another video from the enemy team's perspective would be awesome! 🤣👍
Monty is best girl after all.
Well played always appreciate a fellow minoturd 🤝
@@paulvamos7319 Truth be told it was more common to see them before the CV rework, though I too haven't seen one in quite a while.
Ah yes. The "you either die a noob or live long enough to be called a cheater" game. :)
Genuine WOWS proverb right their XD
And so easily could have died a noob in this game... lucky for the paid actors in red.
That is when you say "Yes, I admit I am cheating... I am using the infinite money cheat during this battle" or "Infinite ammo cheat" :D
I feel like the skill lvl of players has dropped significantly over the past couple of years, maybe they've succeeded in bringing in new players. I hadn't played for over 3 months, logged in the other day, proceded to have a 6hr win session, in ranked, t6, without even one game coming even close, to being a loss. I myself have gotten rather rusty, over these 3 months, and didn't even play that well, occasionally I'd be top scoring, but mostly middle of the pack. Idk, I've got a feeling, skill lvl has dropped.
@@beastgaminghd7575 Most good people quit, so the dregs and whales are left, that's basically it.
"And now for something completely different..." Thanks Jingles, entertaining as always
👍❤️

For a DD player, radar Minotaur is like natural disaster: 1% chance for it to happen, absolutely devastating when it does. It was the type of risk that insurance usually cover, and if there's any out there I'm gonna buy it.
its not so bad, you just pay attention to one in match, if you haven't seen one smoke up at least a quarter way in, there's a good chance it is one. What's deadly is when you see one div'd with a US DD, since you know it most definitely does have a radar and is going to use their smoke. Nevsky is what's scary in a DD tbqh, the thing has incredible ballistics; so it can hit you even easier than mino, the radar is almost as long, and the radar reaches further. Nearly every CL has really poor balistics past 12km, they tend to have problems landing shots once you're past that; Nevsky is the exception.
@@bluesynth7958 in theory, but in practice radar Mino is dangerous against DD in early cap contest. It has good stealth, good stealth radar margin, and long ass duration radar so it can creep close to cap and ruin your day even without firing anything. It'd just hide behind an island, radar, and let other red DD gunboat/smoked-up Smolensk/insert any HE monster here ruin your day XD
as a smoke mino main. my fav ship i have never had the guts to change to radar yet. maybe install again and just go trolling with the radar.....play for the fun again.
It's chief weapon is surprise. Surprise and great rate of fire. Oh bugger, we need to start over!
Its chief weapons are suprise and rate of fire, with torpedoes to match
🤣🤣

@@wierdalien1And our fanatical devotion to Wargaming.
Diabolical laughter
Only a bit into the video, but I want to take the time to point out the friendly Gdansk at around 2:26 😂 “Badmiral Wakhimoff” radars the enemy benham, smokes up, then proceeds to eat a torp launched by said benham a few seconds later after smoking up, then chats: “Who put that torp there?!” 😂 It’s good to see that there are still people with a sense of humor and a little self awareness amidst all the toxic, raging, crybabies that are so prevalent on these seas! I tip my hat to you good sir❤
It's always the ones that make fun of themselves, that you want on your team.
The "sweaty tryhard" insult has always made me laugh. The best part is that I have only ever been called such while roflstomping, leaning back, fully relaxed and joking about how easy the game is :P
_No one ever acknowledges when I'm actually trying-hard and breaking my back trying to carry. Feelsbadman_
Thanks for this. Those guys were probably insulting everyone else on their team through the whole match, I hate to cheapen The_Cool_Kids_20's victory, but that kind of smack talk, at least on the NA server, increases proportionally with incompetence.
Trenlass viewers surprised that you can play Mino with something different than radar.
Sat down with my dinner and this drops. Impeccable timing..
Greetings to the other side of the world! I just had breakfast
sƃuᴉʇǝǝɹƃ
Morning coffee for me. Same timing. By gum the old man is good!
Lunch for me. Mac and cheese (the boxed kind, unfortunately) and both a glass of orange juice and a bottle of zero-sugar Gatorade. I had a seizure yesterday morning due to me forgetting to eat breakfast (Keppra does not play very nice at all when you forget to eat shortly afterwards), so I ended up needing to sleep in this morning. Unfortunately, this meant that I took my Keppra a bit on the late side . . . Oh dear. I think my autistic a** is over sharing again. Well, regardless . . . A Jingle's RUclips video is always a great accompaniment to a hearty lunch. Thanks.
Our chief weapon is Radar, Radar and a citadel...Our top two weapons are radar and a citadel, radar and a citadel and torpedoes...Our top _three_ weapons are Radar, a citadel, torpedoes and...
I'm half expecting this to be Yuro
Nvm
Yuro, Flambass or Flamu.
Any of them could do it.
@@6th_ArmyMade me think of Trenlass, since its usually him i see in a radar Mino
I feel sad for those who didn't grow up with Monty Python, or who don't watch your videos. Well done. Carry on.
😂 Flying Circus was the last one I remember and I didn't see it until I was in my 40's in the early 2000's! FAF, I don't think I have laughed so hard since! 😂
@@paulvamos7319 I think my favorite bit is still "I'm here for an argument, please". A classic belly laugh every time.
@@TheFamilyWoodworker I have to go back and watch some of the other ones as it was 40+ years ago! The great train robery might be my favorite! 🤣
@@paulvamos7319 Grew up with them. I was just the right age. Doubt we'll ever see their like again.
I should have added.... "I turn to Jingles when I want something completely different".
I'd like Jiggles to make an audiobook, fumble while reading, correct himself, and go on a metanarrative about the book, only to reappear in the middle of the next chapter
If you’re a DD, always ask your friendly Mino if he’s radar or smoke and work with him. It’s a match made in hell if you do it right. I always appreciate the smoke in trade for radar and anti DD services.
Same goes for Brisbane… we Brisvegans really appreciate a smokescreen share, and you know you’ll get radar and a bunch of HE support for it.
You don't even need to ask anymore, if you hover your mouse of an ally in the scoreboard it'll show you the consumables they're currently using (for enemies it shows all possible options & best stats, but for allies it shows current setup).
@@marcuswatersonbut you DO need to ask, not for the answer itself, but for the coordination.
I'd call that mino game "the luckiest mino in history to not get bitch slapped by all those BBs". Any of us who played that recklessly would've been smoked within the first 5 mins. With that said it was an immense pleasure to watch!
Watching MightyJingles videos always makes me want to play World of Warships again.
Then I do, and remember why I stopped.
Wow, just WOW! And definitely a +100 for the Monty Python Refs!!!
14:45 "Go back to ranked" Buddy with the kind of salt you're dumping in the ocean, you're the one who looks like they stumbled into the wrong match on their way to the ranked queue.
Or even the co-op queue
The Brisbane doesnt get a choice, no smoke to swap out, just radar. You learn to duck regularly.
…or have a terrible win rate, like me :(
It's a very tricky ship to learn. You need to be able to control your engagements and be prepared to lose 1/2 your health in one shot. Use Islands, kitting away and your throttle/rudder to dodge.
Once you get the hang of it, it's actually very fun!
@@need8394 - Oh, so it's like Worcester...
Yeah I would be lying if I said I haven't been got caught with my ass flapping in the wind a couple times by a radar mino. That is always a hell of a surprise. I always make sure I've seen him smoke up before I get too wild now
Jingleboy, just want to say one thing. Never. Give. Up. We love you.
I used to do this in my Minotaur in ranked and clan battles. I could get my detection range down to 9.1km and the radar range is 10km. It was a perfect DD trap.
The thing that makes the enemy team's saltiness even more salty is the Div have obviously played extremely well to carry the win, but instead of congratulating them, they all just whinge.
Radar Mino is the most likely to be radar, because it gets a decent gap between it's radar range and concealment it can stealth radar, unlike say Neptune which can't.
I bet this is how the salt mines are replenished with salt 😂
As radar Mino is my go to ship for fun, this warms my heart.
It can be equally responsible for fist-shaped holes in people's desks too!
If the Minotaur had more armor, there would be a risk of capsizing or sinking by the recoil force of all those gun salvos...
Talking about rare and mythical beasts I faced a secondary build MONTANA the other day in my DD. There's some real sick puppies out there.
someone with IJN in their name? sailing a japanese CV? crying about people being sweaty and not liking fun in chat? HA!
Before WOWS deplatformed me on my mac, I was a Radar Mino specialist. So much fun.
This has nothing to do with today's video, but today is the 110th anniversary of Battleship Texas's commissioning. I believe it was also 9 years ago today that WoWS's open beta started (I know some milestone for the game occurred today).🎉
Even more rare is the Radar Edinburgh, I have only seen a couple of those. I've also seen a Neptune running not smoke or radar, but the fighter plane of all things! (it was in a ranked, where no cvs could be found, to make it even more stupid)
The Iowa thinking there were 9 of them reminds me of the line from Hell or High Water "Not so tough now are you?"
"Boy, you'd think there were 10 of me..."
There are 2 types of Radar Minos. They either hard carry, or get dev struck immediately.
4:18 as Yuro would say, early game adrenaline rush
My favourite is the radar Minotaur. The smoke one is booooring.
He got lucky. You see many mino's get dev struck.
i always expect radar mino... my luck of the draw is any time i play DD the ships on the enemy team that can fit Radar over smoke they do...
Cardinal Ximinez : *Nobody* expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise, surprise and fear, fear and surprise. Our *two* weapons are fear and surprise, and ruthless efficiency.
A classic!
Alright. Now that I've finished watching the video.
Good night from Canada Jingles!
But where was the threat of the comfy chair?
I always wondered why World of Warships called grouping with friends a "Division" rather than a "Squadron".
How do you defeat Radar Minotaurtaur?!
Radar Minotaurtaur's hate AP shells!
They're deathly allergic to AP shells!
You'll be fine, do you have some AP Benham?
"No..."
You'll need some AP to kill him.
Things are looking grim grim for Benham!
Wait, what is that in the gun there Benham!
It's an AP shell; You can shoot him!
You're in your smoke but he's still spotted!
LINE UP YOUR GUUUUUUUN!
_Radar Detected!_
LINE UP YOUR GUUUUUUUN!
Spamming torpedoes!
Shoot AP shells, to kill Minotaur!
*_Benham explodes._*
"... Well, nevermind."
well, from the perspective of a carrier player EVERBODY not playing a carrier (and suceeding) IS a sweatytryhard. The class (cvs) was designed for NOT sweating while playing with one hand and scratching your buthole with the other and still have (in theory) the highest impact.
So the concept of actually trying is probably pretty alien to most CV players, because they are a bunch of lazy, despicable island huggers with no motivation to get actual gud, but a big ego :)oh and well played to the Mino! wee bit lucky, but that's part of the game.
well...
As for the inquisition.
I dropped that one a week or 2 ago and..... Everyone was so confused at the joke.
Were at that time where.. People don't know Monty Python.
Call me crazy but I love how some ships that have dual purpose guns only shoot AP........So they're implying ships were shooting large caliber AP at planes........🤨
I've had some laughs with HMS Edinburgh taking RADAR.
I surprised the shit out of many a destroyer who thought they were safe and snug inside their smoke screens and I fire up the RADAR and say "surprise cockface!"... (quoting from Team America of course)
Much fun was had!
I haven't done it with HMS Minotaur though.....yet.
;-)
I have to admit. I saw the title and immediately panicked. Just yesterday I got completely deleted by a radar minotaur while playing my kita. I really did not expect it. For a moment I thought my first ever appearance on the channel would be by being cought with my pants down😅
Why I hate Jingles videos . . .
Watches video
Has great time watching amazing video laughing and learns all about this amazing boat
gets boat
dies
again, again, again,
"WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!?!?!?!?!?"
Thank you sir, great video!
Observer A: "Radar instead of smoke? That has to be the worst Minotaur Captain I've ever seen."
... after match results are in...
Observer B: "Seven kills and eight Heroic Awards? That has to be the best Minotaur Captain I've ever seen."
Observer A: "So it would seem."
😇
What I really hate is when I am doing the Benson ninja stuff and A FRICKING BB pops 10+km radar, or a CV decides to camp on my DD with planes. I would like to point out that I will ruthlessly camp on a DD that is in gun range of my team (scouting red, protecting green DD, and making RED DD and subs cry).
Minotaur has one of the best AA suites in the game...FYI.
Also, that CV was right...the triple division was try-harding. But, of course, that's the whole point of the game.
Whenever I drive the Mino, I always go radar. 10km detect, 10km radar range. I can counterdetect any DD nearly immediately and start deleting him quickly before he goes away...depending on if he ends up going YOLO, anyway.
Yesterday played on yamagiri, and radar Edgar was against me. He was only 48% player, but still he killed destroyer in my team, 50+ planes and made me sweat hard. Luckily, funny button on yamagiri is extremely powerful)
P.S. Overmatching my armor was unwilling surprise to me (
"Spanish Inquisition" Achievement unlocked...no one expected that!!!
What is the meaning of “Scot free”?
This idiom comes from the old English word sceot, meaning a 'tax'. People were scot-free if they didn't have to pay the tax. It does not refer (directly) to the kilted people, no matter how much they might like to avoid taxes. And now you know….
Yea - he shot down 6 planes but everyone else was the reason the first attack didn't work... :) AA doesn't work/is "useless" - Mino takes out 22 planes by mid video... This video shows why the Mino should be the first ship taken out, when it is in game. Shows that the spam is worse for the game than CV/DDs combined.
You aren't kidding about the thin armor on Mino. I've gotten citadels on them with HE.
unfortunately there's too many lunatics in ASIA server, Mino captain I've encounter ever since i stepped on Tier 8 are Radar Minos, Smoke Mino are rare which is quite the opposite. Or maybe I'm just cursed....
Radar Mino has always been a meme since 2016...
also I know something that's rarer than a radar Minotaur:
A radar Neptune...
esp a radar Neptune who did it before the radar changes...
Jingles, have been dropping info re health stuff, but YT deletes comments (thinks they are adverts ??) - how to contact you re active easy steps I have found useful? Email?
So...we gonna have the radar minotaur week thanks to the cool kid...... Fckmylife!
If you ever sail a DD and find yourself in the "funny" situation of faceplanting a Radar Memetaur;
Go bow in.
Minos shells have improved pen angles but not enough to help if you point straight at the Mino.
If you are a gunboat DD, load AP and farm citadels. Most Minos will show broadside to get all guns on you.
Here comes the skill check.
A good Mino will keep turning away, or turn in to stop taking AP dmg, when he sees you go bow in and pop out AP shells (depends on the starting HP of both ships ofc)
There is a weak point for the DD. The front gun turret(s). They can still be penned and take dmg but are a small target.
Neither ship likes being spotted for too long so this situation can become a hilarious chicken race that ends when one of you gets slapped by half the enemy team.
0:59 "Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition. Our chief weapon is surprise and fear..."
Once I watched jingles show someone with a radar minotaur, I have not been able to play a normal minotaur again. This is just such a fun ship with radar that loves to punish sneaky DD's. Once you're spotted you play dumb for like 30 seconds then the DDs get too close and then get deleted hahahahaha. 10/10 recommend.
As a Legends only player I run the Minotaur, Plymouth, and Edinborough all as radar cruisers. DD spotting range is quite commonly below 5km there. The Mino can be kitted out with surface detection that is lower than your radar range, meaning if you are spotted then there is a DD in range and they will die as long as it isn't a German AP slinging, cruiser health pool having abomination. Armor numbers are generally higher, and penetration a little lower in Legends as well, meaning smoke farming with AP on bow tanking targets isn't paticularly lucrative compared to just spamming HE with all the skills that can be put into fire breathing.
There's also the fact that Minotaur unlike Smolensk also has just enough belt and citadel deck armor to arm pretty much every AP shell in the game, unlike Smolensk whose 70mm belt is just narrowly thin enough to avoid arming 18" shells 76mm arming threshhold at close range. So long as the shell arcs are flat enough, the fuse won't even trigger.
What happened to NA server chat bring do nice? Playerbase changed so much and the players making the chat look like typical Instagram comments....
saying they are sweatlording in the game... no they just unlocked the most powerful cheat, the power of "friendship"!
I've never understood why WOWS doesn't give ships with radar better accuracy with their guns.
I’ve seen my fair share of radar Minotaurs. Maybe because of all those “no one expects” videos is why.
What no one expects is a radar Shimakaze… 😂
My one criticism of this Mino’s gameplay would be that he didn’t flood various gaps with torpedoes to aggravate the enemy and perhaps get some hits. Mind you, still kicks butt in this game, with his haxxor mystery powers.
Are its main weapons Surprise, Fear, Fear and Surprise, Ruthless efficiency and an almost fanatical devotion to the pope?
Jingles, radar mino was rare back in like 2021 but now most people run it that way. If you're gonna run mino with smoke you might as well just play smolensk instead.
Yeah Jingles! . . . I think this one disserves. It's own series title. How about . . .
( I have come too kick ass! & chew bubble gum. And I am all out of Gum ! )
Rather take the smoke than cower behind an island most of the game. I play more operations than any other mode because random is just 'Find me an island to hide behind' mentality. Real naval tactics are absent with these goofy spotting rules. The ridiculous fact that another ship or plane even, can transmit enough data on an enemy ship(s) for you to actually see it on the holographic walls of your bridge is something they dream of today. Best they got today is to represent all info on a plotting board, aka, MINI MAP.
Radar Minotaurs and RN CLs in general is actually a lot more common than people think
I've seen several Radar Mino's in randoms. Usually somebody expects them and they don't make it to Jingles.
"Go back to ranked" ... blissfully unaware of how bad the average ranked player is.
"Tell me you're sweatlord without telling me you're a sweatlord."
LOL Tell me you're a sore loser without telling me you're a sore loser!
i fantasize of a first person aspect of the game where you play as a crew member and get to choose your position on the vessel. id fight tooth and nail keeping everything functioning for the captain lol
"Surprise and fear, Well thats two things..."
No Grasshopper, It is not.
Best answer you can give someone accusing you of "Sweatlording"
I´m not sweating at all, i play like this casually.
I had to wipe up behind my team recently in the Richelieu, so when someone claimed "gg" with another 10 minutes on the clock and each team having one cap, it was finally my turn to be able to push and then they got salty and i hittem with one 'o these.
Sweetlords, tryharding accusations. Sheesh, what is this, the Spanish Inquisition?
Honestly, WoWs is pretty much known, anymore, for it's steamroll matches.
Thats right. Nobody expects a Radar Minotaur. Not even your own teammates
It's a sign that you've absolutely handed someone's backside to them on a platter when they start calling you 'sweaty'.
Yes, my friend, I am trying to win the game just like you were until you realised you weren't good enough.
At some point, You should start a long playthrough of Minecraft with lots of mods for it. Something that lasts for a few years or something like that. I can Recommend a few tech mods and gun mods and even a few "dweller" mods that will balance out the gun mods a bit by adding powerful new monsters that are kind of like bosses, They should add a lot of danger and risk to Minecraft. There are other youtubers that do Minecraft stuff that could help you find the right mods too and there are modpacks you can choose.
Still my favorite ship I have played in this game..
I think I’ve run radar 5 times total in the span of some 600 battles in Minnie the Mooch
In Legends, I usually play the Minnie in Radar mode. I do OK and it seems to make more sense to me. Once at that Tier, there's plenty of radar around anyhow, so Smokescreens simply aren't as useful as at lower tiers.. :)
Radar Minos are a hilarious surprise. From somebody who loves ambushing DDs, this made me happy (in my pants).
I think Searaptor said "There's two ways to play Minotaur. Radar Mino, and wrong."
@themightyjingles it is referred to on NA as the "MAN-o-taur" when equipped with radar
The good old "go back to the pro league and leave us amateurs alone" defence at the end where you demean yourself to justify your failure. Recipe for future successes. The result of participation awards making mediocrity seem acceptable. lol
When I saw them bitching about a Radar Mino, all I could think of was that Indiana Jones line "How dare he?!".
5" guns on the mino.... jingles strikes again. Off to the salt mines with you
I always play radar with my Mino. I'm ususally one of the first to be killed (I'm most definitely *not* a good player), but it definitely comes as a surprise to many on the opposing team.
The minotaur is just made of citadels, it's my favourite cruiser to shoot at in any BB
that and any ship from dm line :D
@@imjust0negaming883 you can angle the mino armor against 208mm guns, at 230mm(Henri) you start getting overmatched
This is the truth, I always play the Mino and as soon as you're spotted every BB shoots at you.
Jingles question? Where the hell was the MUSASHI trying to go?
Grinding Brit lights cls right now. Nice playing the Edinburgh with radar, no one ever expects it.
The Minotaur. The ship that least suited my aggressive play style, and I have to apologies to all the team members I ever played with, for being so crap. :P
Much like the Spanish inquisition, nobody expects a radar minotaur
