This is just an evolution, siliwangis get Hydro, so you end up with perma hydro as well + Pan Asian smokes that are Hybrid between US and UK DD, means that while alternating you can stay moving almost permanently, there's a 30 or so gap between the smoke of DD2, and DD1s smoke coming back up
So without getting past 45 seconds, I feel a "drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword" video coming and immediately recognised our heroes username from the last time 😂
I raised my kids on Red Dwarf. I was a bit too young to view it originally but I've made up for that fact by spreading it down the generations ^-^ Cheers ya smegheads!

@@angelapolinar5343 Interesting. On one hand I trashed the one division I've seen try this using my Lo Yang. On the other hand your mom had a skill issue
Couple of things here Jingles, 1: The Algerie is a T7 cruiser, 2: You have, in fact, covered this exact GZ build before, in a video called "Drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword", featuring...Definitely_Noc_A_CV_Main... yep. Also he was Dave in the last video
I remember being on the receiving end of this tactic a while back. Saw a random smoke screen slowly crawling towards my Z23 and thought “Aaha! This DD has just done f*cked up” I popped my hydro and headed in balls deep…. Didn’t even make it into hydro range before I got absolutely wrecked by by the sneaky bloody GZ! Lesson well and truly learnt!
This was as fun to watch as Ban This Sick Filth when Flambass goes out with two friends in Italian cruisers with leapfrog smokescreens and blows everyone away.
As soon as I saw the authors name I knew what was coming and I loved every moment of it. I think the previous video was "let me stab you with my sword" or something similar
19:26 I mean, you COULD, but it'd be more difficult. I think part of why he got away with it is cause it's a T8 match. It'd be a lot trickier at T10 where radar is more likely.
Thanks for covering this game Jingles:) We had a blast playing this! if you guys want to watch more of these shenanigans - we will be live this evening around 6pm cest @ twitch.tv/nocturnalscream ! have a good one everyone :)
Jingles: 0:23 ... but it's not what you think... Me: Actually I'm betting it's exactly what I think. We know exactly what to expect from a Graf Zepplin + 2xDD division replay.
The fact that at 12:25 he hits himself with his *own torpedo,* marking the first real time he's been hit the whole game, *and* the fact it did no damage, is just such insult to injury.
When one protected class meets the other protected class and all the rest are just paid actors. BTW: Jingles, why you cant do this with a GK: the chance to meet multiple radars is extremely high in comparison to a T8 CV who can meet T6 ships who lack Radar or high range hydro.
This is a perfect example of a division working together, for the win! The DD's smoke covered the CV, so the enemy almost never seen where they were taking fatal fire from. I can only dream of ever being in a division this good.
I do believe that you showed cased this exact player on April 17th, 2020 doing the exact same thing. Glad to see he is continuing to play CVs the right way
I am 100% certain that you've covered cv main doing this exct thing before, I'm getting massive deja vous. Though it's always a blast to see someone gaming the system like this
I remember the zeppelin when it was introduced and actually participated in the zeppelin's rework that happened directly after it was introduced. I remember that the ship itself always seemed strong, the problem and all the testing I did always seemed to be trying different aircraft strike arrangements and the parameters, it was a fun experience, too bad Wargaming isn't the same anymore.
christ almightly. I remember that last smoke train graf zepplin game being a goofy fun time but this was just cartoonish. Have we seen 10 kills before? that was a wild match to watch
Brilliant tactics. As the professional wrestler Ric Flair used to say, "Whatever works, baby! Whatever works! To be the man, you've got to beat the man! And I am the man!"
Jingles, I've always thought of your World of Warships videos as some light entertainment but this one had me laughing on the floor. Fell off the sofa!
Jingles. Sadly yes I’m a console scrub on World of Warships Legends. Myself and two friends divisioned up with a Yolo Emilio, Bismarck & Brandenburg. What we’ve done on a number of occasions is sail towards the enemy at full speed the destroyer leading. Allow the destroyer to pop its rolling high speed smokescreen with both battleships behind, secondary’s only firing away! I’d be lying if all three of us weren’t laughing our heads off when we kept attempting this. I will say, we’ve only been successful once but it’s been bloody hilarious watching other players scramble to try an stop us.
It wasn't even a blowout match. This was fairly close and therefore even more funny. The 2 DDs were beaten down pretty hard when detected and this division the only ships left alive in the end.
The most unfortunate part of this tactic is they deny their team the use of their two DDs because they are exclusively busy escorting their carrier. Meanwhile the enemy has its two DDs running around unchecked. So every time you see a reply of this it's going to be close because the carrier's other teammates don't have targets and no screen to prevent them from getting spotted themselves. Really if you drop into a match like this and see the filth on your team, the best plan is to tag along with the CV and take advantage of the spotting and ASW. That, and maybe hold back a little and keep the caps flipped.
@@virt1one yes, joining it is exactly what you should do. You think this is scary with 3 ships? Imagine something with German Hydro joining the party. And heaven forbid if real firepower joins like an atlanta. The counter to this BTW, as someone who does a very similar thing in a CurryWurst, is to literally just shoot torps at the front of the smoke. That's it no extra details needed.
I find it interesting that I ate a Kipper for the first time ever, and the next morning I see "Smoke me a Kipper, Skipper". I found that I love Kippers, and I really enjoyed this episode. Thank you Jingles!
In all honesty, the Ta152 was not only a high-altitude interceptor. The Ta152H subvariant with extended wingspan, pressurised cockpit and GM1 (NOS)/MW50 (water-methanol) injection was. There were also fighters and fighter-bombers planned
He was flying a Romeo flag and had the ball-diamond-ball hoisted on his mast... Watching from the viewpoint of a big ship, while destroyers keep pace on either side, takes me back to my fleet support days!
Second time Noc has been featured doing this, I find it funny Jingles didn't think to go back and check to see if it was the same player. Noc is known for doing this kind of thing in the same way as Flambass is known for two brothers mid rushing
A nice Example what a Carrier Strike Force can do. It worked because of the lack of any Radar in this Battle. Edit: I just want to appreciate how good the Platoon performed together.
Finally Players who play the game as it is supposed to be played. There is nothing "scumbaggy" about this. Those are disciplined Players, especially the DDs, who work together and even sacrifice "personal glory" for the success of their Team. None of this would work on its own. You need a good CV captain who is not "tunnelvisioning" on his strikes, you need DD Captains who stick strictly to the plan, never trying to go after "kills" themselves. Especially if you look at the result screen, you will see that the two DDs were not really awarded for their assistance and there are not many players who would agree with that. This is a great demonstration of what is possible if players get organized and play this game tactically. Sadly I dont think it will catch on!
I think the reason that secondaries don't incur smoke firing penalty is because they're automatic and WG don't want people moaning and batching about smoke being useless on the forums because their secondary armaments fired off a single shot at a DD that popped up for half a second, and we all know that WG are averse to the idea of adding anything that would require thinking, like having to turn off secondaries while in smoke
I just wanna say. In his teams defense. When they pull a manouver like this, the rest of the team, get no DD to spot and lay down torpedo cover for them. So any flank, that doesn't have the train coming, are at a disadvantage.
jingles talking about HE-111H used for naval bomber role, meanwhile Fw-200 C1 kondor at the background:´´bitch please..atleast i could cover the atlantic ocean and you are name dropping him?!´´
I take my hat off to this division. As disgusting as it may seem, it still requires a lot of skill and teamwork to pull off what they did. And that should always be rewarded.
the reason for no smoke firing penalty is probably due to them automatically firing and would often prevent a BB hiding in smoke (as noone other than destroyers even learn they can be turned off)
For the first five minutes I'm gritting my teeth: CV replay, grr.... Then, seeing his division timing their rolling smoke screen so well ... the secondary kills ... CVs moving around .... You got me, I am ashamed to admit. CV so broken.
10:28 Offering the flipside to this tangent here: it is actually possible to sink an aircraft carrier as a submarine, I've done it before, but doing it without triggering the ASW on the CV requires a lot of caution and no small degree of luck. Most CVs have a max ASW range of about 8 km, most subs can outrange that with either homing or standard torps. The thing to keep in mind about the CV ASW is that it triggers on ANY sign of a submarine, that includes the ping effect on the surface when you use your sonar ping, as well as the oil slicks the sub leaves behind if it's damaged. As long as you're careful not to reveal yourself within 8 km of a CV, it is fully possible to sink one as a sub. The premium IJN sub I-56 is especially favorable for this task: it's got 11km range standard torps with zero dispersion, so if you get a good shot on a CV while playing it, four times out of five, that's a dead CV.
if this is how carrier gameplay worked i would have 0 complaints about them at all this is infinitely more fun to both face and to play than the normal way carriers work
I feel so dirty just from watching this, I can only imagine the amount of scrubing the three of them are going to have to do before they feel clean again.
I might as well be the one: Actually, Jingles... 1. Not all German secondaries get the 1/4 penetration rule, the 88 mm guns on some of the lower tier ships do not. 2. German 150 mm guns get 38 mm penetration, not 37 mm. Not a big difference, but significant against high tier US battleships with their 38 mm midsection armour. 3. As for "you could do the same in a Kurfürst". Technically yes, but Graf Zeppelin has the best secondary accuracy in the game (tied with Arkansas), with base dispersion being almost three times better than Kurfürst and co. Also, being able to occasionally use your "main armament" and still staying undetected is quite useful. That's it, back to the Salt Mines for me and thanks for an entertaining video with the only kind of CV play I can respect.
Legally? It's questionable
Morally? It's disgusting
Personally? I like it
not to say lovely to see an old meme making it in... always loved the fact that CVs could aunch and land airplanes while cloaked in dense clouds of smoke^^

Well, except without the crawling smoke
Wanted to write that aswell
This is just an evolution, siliwangis get Hydro, so you end up with perma hydro as well + Pan Asian smokes that are Hybrid between US and UK DD, means that while alternating you can stay moving almost permanently, there's a 30 or so gap between the smoke of DD2, and DD1s smoke coming back up
An aircraft carrier player with a sword fetish...
Weren't the dd's bots in that video?
I love the red team player asking “Wanna try a smoke train?” And CV Main answering “What do you mean try?”
From a purely visual standpoint i kinda loved the movement together, i'd made it look like a proper, if quite small, carrier task force.
Yeah, does look like very good strategic play (well, its a game......) !! !
I bet it looks hilarious from the outside. Just an approaching cloud of death.

Isnt teamwork is what WOWS is about, said absolutely no one?
the reason for no smoke firing penalty is probably due to them automatically firing and would often prevent a BB hiding in smoke (as noone other than destroyers even learn they can be turned off)

10:28 Offering the flipside to this tangent here: it is actually possible to sink an aircraft carrier as a submarine, I've done it before, but doing it without triggering the ASW on the CV requires a lot of caution and no small degree of luck. Most CVs have a max ASW range of about 8 km, most subs can outrange that with either homing or standard torps.

I feel so dirty just from watching this, I can only imagine the amount of scrubing the three of them are going to have to do before they feel clean again.
12:25 hahahaha. He torpedoes himself. (doing no damage of course, but still)
This is, perhaps, the most hilarious replay I've seen for some months.
The cv hitting automated ASW hits on the unspotted sub might be the dumbest shit I´ve ever seen
The same guy over 2 years ago, Mr. Jingles. I enjoyed watching that video over and over again.
I might as well be the one:
Actually, Jingles...
1. Not all German secondaries get the 1/4 penetration rule, the 88 mm guns on some of the lower tier ships do not.

Also, being able to occasionally use your "main armament" and still staying undetected is quite useful.
That's it, back to the Salt Mines for me and thanks for an entertaining video with the only kind of CV play I can respect.
Really cool to see the destroyers helping out with smoke like that.
Clean team work!
Yeah.... that dude named 'Definitely_not_a_DD' really played well.

the sound of the enemy teams cheeks was loud in this one XD
