Yeah, that is rare. and I learned why. Behavior like that is usually not just not rewarded, but often not even noticed or even misunderstood. I was one of those dumb "team players" through most of my career as a WoT player and it really didn't pay off. I often sacrificed myself to help the team and all it really did was to hinder my progress with the stats. The best example is the following: I was playing a turretless tier 6 tank destroyer in a tier 7 battle. There were only 3 guys on our weak flank and I was one of them. The others were some medium and one T29. Then most of the enemy heavies showed up on our flank unexpectedly. We 3 guys tried to hold them off, but the medium tank soon died and we other 2 guys were reduced to half health. The T29 was standing around out in the open and had no cover, so I decided that the only way to hold that flank a little longer was for me to sacrifice myself and put the T29 into a better position. I left my own cover and drove out in front of the T29, shielding his hull with my tank, so he would be hull down behind me. I mentioned that I drove a turretless TD at the time, to point out that I could not shoot at the enemy anymore, standing perpendicular in front of the T29, which is relevant because it ought to have made very clear to the guy what I was doing. Of course I got killed, but now the T29 was hull down and would have been in a great position to hold that flank. And what does the idiot do? As soon as I am dead, he turns around, tries to run away and gets killed by being shot in the back. Sorry about the long story, but I wanted to give a anecdote for what happens when you try being a team player in this game. I was no Unicum but a bunch of players I played with said that I was on my way to becoming one and I held my own in one on one fights against Unicums I met in battle. Once I had ground through most of the shitty low tier tanks and started unlocking the first good mid- and higher tier medium tanks, my stats improved rapidly. I also had enough of being the nice team player sucker. I started playing the Unicum play style, seeing the enemies as prey, not as opponents and using my own team mates as bait, not relying on them doing anything useful. My WN8 rating, which had been climbing slowly but steadily till then, suddenly shot up at a steep angle and I was able to turn green after about 5000 battles played, which apparently is unusual. I think Jingles said most players need 15 000 to 20 000 battles to slowly become proficient. I'm not telling you this to brag. I just want to point out that this game kind of requires you to be a selfish asshole if you want to be good. I quit after playing around 6000 battles. I didn't like what the game was doing to me. The better I got, the better my stats got, the more I had to lose and the more angry I got when I had really stupid or inept team mates. I started berating people in chat and became a belligerent, rude asshole. I couldn't control my adrenaline. I got good results and grew used to carrying teams, but I didn't have fun doing it and was consumed by hate. hehehe Then I did the same thing Jingles did. I switched to playing "Armored Warfare" and became a PvE pussy.
@@TrangleC Yeah, I think it is hard to find the right balance between being a good team member and watch your own progress. The T29 in your example was doomed I think, you could have used the time it took him to die to run away into a better position. It is about noticing the opportunities to be able to save allies without damaging your own and the team's performance imo. Because when we look at the T 29 example maybe you could have carried your team later if you escaped into a better position. What the IS7 in this video did was a good example of how to do it, but I'm not even sure if he did it on purpose and "Dave" was in cover already. The intention matters though.
@@TrangleC The number one rule of pub matches is to go with the lemmings, they're clearly idiots that will need your help. Never be one of few trying to hold the weak flank, you'll just be the first one dead. And never lead the lemmings, no, stay behind them or in the middle of the pack, keeping them alive a little longer while you farm damage from safety. The other reason you want to stay towards the back of the lemmings, is that you're the one that's going to rush back to reset cap when the weak flank gets steamrolled, just hopefully by that point you've done enough damage that the lemmings don't fully collapse and also get steamrolled when you vacate back to cap....
@@TrangleC AW is a tragedy, such a good game and nobody plays it. I played it for some 150 hours around 2016 when the game was still pretty new, and even then there were really few players. Now it's literally a ghost town :(
For an example of how little armor the Leopard 1 has, look no further than 9:07 where the IS-7, who took a direct hit from arty, took LESS damage than Dave, whom was several meters away from the center of the explosion.
I explained the 'dave' idea to my wife. She finds it humourous. Also she finds it funny I watch jingles wot episodes despite not having played the game in years
The artillery getting screwed on experience is no surprise. Since 100% of their damage is indirect, the XP penalty is steep. It’s one of the several reasons that after 7 years, I walked away from the game. I feel the XP penalty is one reason why a lot of my former partners playing Artillery weren’t always focused on what’s best for the team, and instead focused on harvesting the max number HP. So many times I’ve seen players pass on removing a gun by splashing a low hp “hidden” tank, and instead going after a higher-health tank that they had no chance of killing. Even though I don’t play anymore, I still enjoy watching. I’m just not giving WG any more of my money or time. Instead I’ve taken that time to teach my wife of 30 years how to play video games, and we’ve been exploring Azeroth together. Maybe we’ll run visit the salt mines someday. As always, Thanks for videos Jingles.
It took me the whole 2nd battle to mull over that nagging feeling in the back of my brain, but on the end screen I had it. Dave is actually an Alex. An unusual Alex who likes to count 1234 ... I'm kinda proud, kinda embarrased that it took me so long or I thought about it at all ...
@@atigerclaw But it sin't 11, it's 1L. A1L2E3X4. Plus, you gotta consider the a, which the brain wants to sort to the letters, but it really belongs to the first number, because there's no 'unusuala' in the dictionary.
That Chi-Ri is what WOT used to be about - grinding lines with the odd lemon to get through along the way. Sadly now that has been eclipsed by the plethora of premiums that makes that tank and many others doubly obsolete...
To be fair, the Japanese lines weren't really 'the odd lemon' back then. They were more citrus than tank. The heavy line was utter crap until T5 (admittedly, they got pretty damn disgusting from that point onwards), the medium line didn't get better than meh until T8 (and that was a horrendous stock grind) and the light mini-line didn't exactly have standout tanks either.
I remember always liking the Chi-ri but then again I played it years ago when the game was a bit more forgiving with less over powered premiums rolling around
I liked the chi ri as well when grinding it, it can be quite good even. But like you said that was years ago when I played it lmao. But I also liked the old 59 16 with the autoloader lmao
@@dolovo_gaming3081 Yea I liked the 59-16 with the auto loader using it to flank and then hit that booty was fun but that was a long time ago in a game far far away :)
That's how I feel about quite a few "bad" tanks in wot though. Like the t69. I've gotten a steel wall and high caliber in it! But my entire clan HATES the thing! XD
I think chi-ri deserves more recognition. It's not necessarily a good tank, but it sure is a fun tank. The autoloader goes bam-bam-bam and loads all three rounds pretty quickly, people underestimate it and then it pumps into them all three shots and they be "whaaaaat, that's illegal. such funny sounding tank shouldn't do this!". I really like it, it's cute :-) ❤
I kind of like the autoloading Chi-Ri. For some reason I feel like the ability to hit modules repeatedly helps justify it. I'm pretty sure I've damaged someone's ammo, had them repair it, damage it again, then blow it up multiple times
The only way this could've been topped is if the arty at the end splashed the Death Star _after_ they succeeded in capping. Also no matter my feelings on the game, it looks and sounds amazing, especially the shot at 14:01; the boom of the 183mm gun cracking off and with the projectile tearing across the field.
20:30 people need to learn to use the roads in this game. Even if it's just a dirt road, the ground resistance is lower there than on the grass it runs through. Not by much, but you will move faster.
On the other hand the road was potentially dangerous, since it's directly in line with the gate. Off the road the angles you can be seen from are smaller because of the walls. So there'd be pros and cons.
Come on Jingles, Don't you remember that WG has an XP penalty on SPG's (which only got worse when they added in spotting/assist damage). Remember the old days of WoT version pre 1.0 when SPG's and TD's had this? (Pepperidge Farms Remembers) They took it off the TD's and left it on the SPG's back during the first "Major TD buff" (this was after the E-25 was introduced) WG to this day has not removed the XP penalty from SPG's.
Oh yeah fun fact the TOG-II actually uses the 28 Pounder not the 17 Pounder if you are wondering why Bovington Tank Museum got that wrong is well the 28 and 17 have an interchangeable muzzle brake so everyone assumed it was a 17 when it wasn’t.
i used to absolutely love it... made a "stealth" build of it and have carried my team to victory many times.. But that was before the powercreep pushed it to insignificance and before the škoda t-25 (same tank, just way, way smaller of a target and at t5) was introduced. Haven't played this game in years, due to it being World of Soviet premium Tanks nowadays.
I reinstalled the game last week and my old account was just gone. I had loads of premiums on that account. Maybe they just deleted a load of old ones or something. Anyway I bought a firefly and guess what? My first game TWO people I shot ended up on 1 health. TWO of them. Thats out of the realms of possibility. Surely. hahaha Thats how good my luck is. I tell you what I once looked at a car number plate and it fell off the car. No joke hahahah. Cheers for the upload.
I actually liked the chi-ri. It's a glass canon, and if you load gold has reasonable burst damage. It helps that the expectation for this tank is so low. Also helps if you don't just auto aim everything 😃
Always thought that gun looked kinda big...but being a British tank I can guarantee WG won't buff it, given its 17-pdr has an absurdly low ROF for its smallish shell size, large turret and dual loaders.
"Loved" the comment of "Dude" in chat from the EBR driver as the Death-Star lumbered into the cap. He no doubt gloried in dancing rings around the enemy Death-Star yet seemed to fail to realise that the friendly one would have the same characteristics
Every reference of Dave... either in world of tanks or world of warships... I think of the scene in the penguins of madagascar movie. When Dave the octopus was pissed that the penguins didn't know his name.
I really enjoyed this video and it almost made me want to play again after well over a year and a half away from the game! Actual team work and it looks great but then you get to the bit at the end! I have no T10 tanks but the fact that when you grind your way up there you have to shell out for premium to actually break even is ludicrous. Free to play but not if you sink a ton of time into it and climb to the top of the tech tree. Dave was awesome though as was the Jingles commentary. From one Pompey lad to another keep up the good work. Although I may never start playing this game again I am likely to return to your channel for more gems like this one. 😀
Loving the content as always Jingles must say I'm really enjoying your Jurassic World Evolution 2 content so please do keep those vids coming. Hearing you talking about dinosaurs is actually fascinating and honestly I wouldn't be opposed to just general videos on specific dinosaurs sort of styled like your old WoWs & WoT reviews you did back in the day.
The Leopard is a cool tank (and they were cool to drive too ;) ) , but very dainty LOL, as well as the PT, and what I call the Baby Leopard aka the Kampz 07 ;) Tomahawk made a joke in his vid about the Leo, and I have experienced it ie. when you get lit, everyone has yer number o.0 and then RIP!! Still find lots of people who still think the Leo is a reg med, or seen players play it like a med, and then RIP o.0 I've only seen a few replays where a player drove the Leo "like a boss", kicked ass etc etc, but the players were extremely skilled ;) Thanks for sharing, Jingles!
Some say, his name can only be read by people fluent in Klingon And that the only reason he selected the name is so that Jingles addresses him by the name he prefers All we know is, he’s called Dave!
Tank design of the Leopard 1 can be traced to the first three layers of the onion: don't be seen, acquired, hit. The Soviets by contrast ignored everything up until don't get penetrated. They then ignored the subsequent layer of 'don't be destroyed/killed' as well, because yknow... exposed ammo racks.
I love how every time I heard you talk about how bad the Armor is for the leopard 1 then I immediately remember the time I shot one with death star AP and I bounced 🤣
I actually enjoyed the Chi-Ri - played it aggressive, usually, but it did surprisingly well with that chump little 3 shot autoloader. Pulled off some amazing games with the thing, three or four Aces while researching through it. And 'close shave' de-caps, I've gotten one when it went 0.0 and 'flashed' just as I popped the capper. That was with my G1B, though.
22:20 it seems like arty only get's xp for stunning now, the more stun time, the more xp. So they force arty to do the one thing that everybody hates the most about them.
On console the chi ri was one of my best tanks to grind through...don't know why so many dislike it...oddly enough I actually haven't played the PC variant only because I don't own a PC or laptop
well thats the reason. there are significant differences between the PC and console versions of world of tanks. Namely, everything in PC WoT has been power crept either by the newest vehicles or by the most expensive vehicles.
Well the Chi-Ri is...shit. But...the good thing about that shitty autoloader is the fact that it reloads faster than the IS with the same (potential) alpha dmg. Oh and the in-clip reload is very good. Also, back in the day, it could mount a rammer with the autoloader. Not sure if it still can.
still can, and yeah, the chi-ri isn't suited to being a dpm machine with the non-autoloading gun. it's faaaaar more effective with what's essentially a worse pen better but far better gun handling 122mm.
@@nickq8093 glad to hear but aye, the autoloader is good for one thing only: pop out of cover, slam a fat ~390 in some unsuspecting sod's arse or flank and gtfo! Bit about the comparison with the IS was that, for essentially the same dmg output, the Chi-Ri reloads in about 7-8 seconds as opposed to the IS' 11ish(?). The overall dpm is still crap.
I find it somewhat funny how shallow the arc was on the shots towards the Death Star from the artillery near the end of that second match. I suspect it was in the northeast corner of the match.
I always thought you would be old enough to know of "Leetspeek" If you read the numbers as letters The Unusual "a1l2e3x4" turns into The Unusual "allzeexa" Where every second character is replaced with a number representing it. When i was gaming, this ancient language was but a relic of the past in terms of popularity. But it IS still used today.
WG really has to fix the exp mechanic it really makes no sense that an idiot in bourasque who goes and dies after firing one mag to get the same exp per shot as a guy who fight last 4-5 enemy alone, it should be according to the game time and enemy to allies ratio or at least make it a point based and not dmg based
In case your not aware Jingles, It was just discovered the Tog II does not in fact have a 17 pounder gun. Nope. Turns out this whole time it's actually been armed with a 94mm 28 pounder gun.
The chi Ri is a pure support tank. Works great in that role. By highest damage battle in the chi ri, with the autoloader was a 3,3k damage on Malinovka. Also had a 52,3% but that was 5 years ago, maybe 6. checked the WR for the last 60 days for the tier 7 mediums, the Chi Ri has a semi respectable win rate of 48.64% But what is really unexpected is the fact that it is AHEAD of tanks like T34/100, T43, the Panther or the comet!!!
9:07 That IS-7 is a bit of a rockstar as well: sees Dave's tracks got blown off, moves in front of him and gently nudges him back into cover.
Yeah, that is rare. and I learned why. Behavior like that is usually not just not rewarded, but often not even noticed or even misunderstood.
I was one of those dumb "team players" through most of my career as a WoT player and it really didn't pay off.
I often sacrificed myself to help the team and all it really did was to hinder my progress with the stats.
The best example is the following:
I was playing a turretless tier 6 tank destroyer in a tier 7 battle.
There were only 3 guys on our weak flank and I was one of them. The others were some medium and one T29.

And what does the idiot do? As soon as I am dead, he turns around, tries to run away and gets killed by being shot in the back.
Sorry about the long story, but I wanted to give a anecdote for what happens when you try being a team player in this game.
I was no Unicum but a bunch of players I played with said that I was on my way to becoming one and I held my own in one on one fights against Unicums I met in battle.
Once I had ground through most of the shitty low tier tanks and started unlocking the first good mid- and higher tier medium tanks, my stats improved rapidly. I also had enough of being the nice team player sucker.
I started playing the Unicum play style, seeing the enemies as prey, not as opponents and using my own team mates as bait, not relying on them doing anything useful.
My WN8 rating, which had been climbing slowly but steadily till then, suddenly shot up at a steep angle and I was able to turn green after about 5000 battles played, which apparently is unusual. I think Jingles said most players need 15 000 to 20 000 battles to slowly become proficient.
I'm not telling you this to brag. I just want to point out that this game kind of requires you to be a selfish asshole if you want to be good.
I quit after playing around 6000 battles. I didn't like what the game was doing to me. The better I got, the better my stats got, the more I had to lose and the more angry I got when I had really stupid or inept team mates. I started berating people in chat and became a belligerent, rude asshole. I couldn't control my adrenaline. I got good results and grew used to carrying teams, but I didn't have fun doing it and was consumed by hate.

Always thought that gun looked kinda big...but being a British tank I can guarantee WG won't buff it, given its 17-pdr has an absurdly low ROF for its smallish shell size, large turret and dual loaders.
What, no-one measured it before?
Let’s appreciate how relaxing and powerful jingles voice is in every commentary video, it’s literally a sleep aid I love this asmr + my fav game :)
"Loved" the comment of "Dude" in chat from the EBR driver as the Death-Star lumbered into the cap. He no doubt gloried in dancing rings around the enemy Death-Star yet seemed to fail to realise that the friendly one would have the same characteristics
I remember grinding the STA 1 with the chir-ri years ago. It was pain and misery from start to finish. At least chi-to was neat in a hull down spot.
Is no one gonna ask that Chi-Ri is the only medium tank that can equip the gun rammer despite being an autoloader no ? Just me ?
it was clearly given an exception out of pity
Chi-Ri may be crap, but the little pop pop autoloader also makes it kinda fun to play.
"The perfect storm...of meh." I'm going to have to use that.
If you ever start a band you need to call it Dave and the Death Stars.
If there is one redeeming feature of the Chi Ri, it's that it isn't the AMX 65t
Every reference of Dave... either in world of tanks or world of warships... I think of the scene in the penguins of madagascar movie. When Dave the octopus was pissed that the penguins didn't know his name.
I really enjoyed this video and it almost made me want to play again after well over a year and a half away from the game! Actual team work and it looks great but then you get to the bit at the end! I have no T10 tanks but the fact that when you grind your way up there you have to shell out for premium to actually break even is ludicrous. Free to play but not if you sink a ton of time into it and climb to the top of the tech tree. Dave was awesome though as was the Jingles commentary. From one Pompey lad to another keep up the good work. Although I may never start playing this game again I am likely to return to your channel for more gems like this one. 😀
I'm the guy, playing the medium tank, pretending to be a heavy tank, shooting like a light tank while being armoured like an SPG!
Who am I?!
CHI-RI!
That race at the end was insane! Loved the commentary
That 261 was robbed.
Dave is such a champ. A real trooper to have on the team.
About World of Tenks: In Russia, Tenks play you!
Loving the content as always Jingles must say I'm really enjoying your Jurassic World Evolution 2 content so please do keep those vids coming. Hearing you talking about dinosaurs is actually fascinating and honestly I wouldn't be opposed to just general videos on specific dinosaurs sort of styled like your old WoWs & WoT reviews you did back in the day.
Imagine circumnavigating the globe in an E100 just to die instantly
That was very entertaining, thank you to both Jingles and Dave
The Leopard is a cool tank (and they were cool to drive too ;) ) , but very dainty LOL, as well as the PT, and what I call the Baby Leopard aka the Kampz 07 ;) Tomahawk made a joke in his vid about the Leo, and I have experienced it ie. when you get lit, everyone has yer number o.0 and then RIP!! Still find lots of people who still think the Leo is a reg med, or seen players play it like a med, and then RIP o.0 I've only seen a few replays where a player drove the Leo "like a boss", kicked ass etc etc, but the players were extremely skilled ;) Thanks for sharing, Jingles!
Some say, his name can only be read by people fluent in Klingon
And that the only reason he selected the name is so that Jingles addresses him by the name he prefers
All we know is, he’s called Dave!
One of your very best replays!
Tank design of the Leopard 1 can be traced to the first three layers of the onion: don't be seen, acquired, hit. The Soviets by contrast ignored everything up until don't get penetrated. They then ignored the subsequent layer of 'don't be destroyed/killed' as well, because yknow... exposed ammo racks.
"See if you can figure it out"
"And now for today's main event"
Uh, I think I figured it out
You know it's going to be a good video when Dave shows up.
I love how every time I heard you talk about how bad the Armor is for the leopard 1 then I immediately remember the time I shot one with death star AP and I bounced 🤣
I actually enjoyed the Chi-Ri - played it aggressive, usually, but it did surprisingly well with that chump little 3 shot autoloader. Pulled off some amazing games with the thing, three or four Aces while researching through it.
And 'close shave' de-caps, I've gotten one when it went 0.0 and 'flashed' just as I popped the capper. That was with my G1B, though.
I was just thinking - Hey Jingles, what ever happened to DAVE
Pretty sure his name was UnusualAlex, Jingles.
Granted, would've been a lot easier if it wasn't filled with numbers.
22:20 it seems like arty only get's xp for stunning now, the more stun time, the more xp. So they force arty to do the one thing that everybody hates the most about them.
On console the chi ri was one of my best tanks to grind through...don't know why so many dislike it...oddly enough I actually haven't played the PC variant only because I don't own a PC or laptop
well thats the reason. there are significant differences between the PC and console versions of world of tanks. Namely, everything in PC WoT has been power crept either by the newest vehicles or by the most expensive vehicles.
Or, as Sir Foch would like to call it: " the tier 10 Chi Ri".
It's funny that sir Foch kinda liked the Chi-Ri despite him memeing it.
Well the Chi-Ri is...shit. But...the good thing about that shitty autoloader is the fact that it reloads faster than the IS with the same (potential) alpha dmg. Oh and the in-clip reload is very good.
Also, back in the day, it could mount a rammer with the autoloader. Not sure if it still can.
still can, and yeah, the chi-ri isn't suited to being a dpm machine with the non-autoloading gun. it's faaaaar more effective with what's essentially a worse pen better but far better gun handling 122mm.
@@nickq8093 glad to hear but aye, the autoloader is good for one thing only: pop out of cover, slam a fat ~390 in some unsuspecting sod's arse or flank and gtfo!
Bit about the comparison with the IS was that, for essentially the same dmg output, the Chi-Ri reloads in about 7-8 seconds as opposed to the IS' 11ish(?). The overall dpm is still crap.
I really ought to be off to sleep... but I see a Jingles video I click...
Second battle: "From the Mark 1s introduction to the beast known as Leopard!"
That Base Capture was Legendary!!!
damn a leopard bounce? damn lucky
damn that last uphill has got to be nerver recking XD
if only randoms can play like that in every game
10:27 To quote Circon: "...Angle... ANGLE!!"
Loved the video Jingles! Can't wait for the next video man! Question for you on Jurassic World Evolution 2, What are your Thoughts on the Gallimimus?
Welcome back Dave! You were missed.
The leopard 1. Who needs armor when you can just cover the tank in ammo racks.
Sleep? No. Jingles.
Hooray Dave is back! I like Dave, busy, charming, talented and everywhere while not showing off! So Jingles when did you meet Dave?? In the Navy?
The Death Star: 183mm of PAIN
The Chi-Ri is a tank that belongs to the knight's who say meh.
now i hate arty as much as the next guy, but how the hell does 1000k damage get the same xp as someone that did nothing?
One plus point of chi-ri is that it can reset caps!!
Jingles wouldn't be Jingles if he wasn't misreading a 702 damage shot from a Foch155 as a 782 damage shot.
How nice to see someone who actually support his team, and yes...Wargaming, What The Fuck?!?
I find it somewhat funny how shallow the arc was on the shots towards the Death Star from the artillery near the end of that second match. I suspect it was in the northeast corner of the match.
"Getting hit by artillery is bad" -Jingles
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!! You salty bundle of love.
Thanks Jingles and Dave.
Jingles you can call me Dave any time and I’d never get bothered !
I always thought you would be old enough to know of "Leetspeek"
If you read the numbers as letters
The Unusual "a1l2e3x4"
turns into
The Unusual "allzeexa"
Where every second character is replaced with a number representing it.
When i was gaming, this ancient language was but a relic of the past in terms of popularity.
But it IS still used today.
WG really has to fix the exp mechanic it really makes no sense that an idiot in bourasque who goes and dies after firing one mag to get the same exp per shot as a guy who fight last 4-5 enemy alone, it should be according to the game time and enemy to allies ratio or at least make it a point based and not dmg based
Happy Teamwork for a Happy Thanksgiving!
In case your not aware Jingles, It was just discovered the Tog II does not in fact have a 17 pounder gun. Nope. Turns out this whole time it's actually been armed with a 94mm 28 pounder gun.
Irish got to raise 32,000 people's blood pressure at one time.
So good to see some team work and positive team energy in WoT, its a rarity these days.
You know, the way you describe it makes the Leopard 1 sound like a light tank with the size and gun of a medium tank.
"Dave rides again", should be the name of the next Sabaton song.
Not taking the ACTUAL road (ground resistance) but driving in the grass...*sigh*
leopard 1 bounces a 277 shot.
The 277 driver: wait that's illegal
The chi Ri is a pure support tank. Works great in that role. By highest damage battle in the chi ri, with the autoloader was a 3,3k damage on Malinovka. Also had a 52,3% but that was 5 years ago, maybe 6.
checked the WR for the last 60 days for the tier 7 mediums, the Chi Ri has a semi respectable win rate of 48.64% But what is really unexpected is the fact that it is AHEAD of tanks like T34/100, T43, the Panther or the comet!!!
Condolences to the arty for still trying to play and have fun. The funpolice surely will nerf it again soon.
