He says that quite a bit, but yes the sacrificing the chicken to Charles de Gaulle's mistress is pure gold. Check out any number of secondary focused ship videos, like the Grosser Kurfurst or the Massachusetts
"… sacrifice the required number of chickens to the ghost of Charles De Gaulle's mistress." There's gotta be a crackin' good story behind this rhetorical day trip into the weeds.
I think it's a variation of what he says about the KV-2 in World of Tanks. To improve the tank's hideous accuracy, you are supposed to "send the requisite number of dissidents to the gulag, and the cold dead hand of Stalin himself will reach up from the depths of Hell and guide the shot to the target."
@@WalterReimer Yes. Except, every word of that makes sense in connection with all of the words pre and post. Chickens? Mistress? De Gaulle? Ghost? Where, outside of a Madlib, would you normally find all of these words in a single sentence?
8:10 in defense of Richelieu's "strong AA", that only really applies if you upgrade your hull, which Rainbow Glitter Farts hasn't done. Maybe they're not that far through the research, or they just value the catapult and spotter plane more than AA (Stock hull Richelieu has DREADFUL AA), as the catapult is removed on the B hull.
Had to check because I wasn't paying attention but yeah, this Richelieu is still pre-Brooklyn Naval Yard refit. That Weser would have either done less against the B hull or would have lost more planes doing the same.
Change my mind? Challenge accepted. Jingles I would say the Richelieu is better than the Monarch and the Kansas. The Monarch is a damage pinata with anaemic guns and no super heal, and the Kansas is a tortoise with no shell and a reload measured in fortnights. At least the Richelieu is pretty good at bow-in tanking and is fast enough to reposition.
Monarch HE is actually pretty good - it rips up french bbs, Kansas also has 16" guns which will sink most things that give you a broadside. (Actually if the Colarado had aimed at glitterfarts turrets/superstructure in this battle he'd probably have taken him out)
@@tomriley5790 Fair enough. British BB HE is always good, but in my experience the Monarch has the worst HE out of all of them. It seemed to constantly shatter for me and it has a worse fire chance than the KGV or the Lion. It's also true that the Kansas can delete broadsiding targets, but you actually have to get into a position to hit a broadside and that is more difficult in the Kansas than any other BB. Your speed and reload just make it difficult.
I actually had a decent game in a Richie last night. Slightly more damage, slightly fewer kills, also had the CV "kill secured" by a cruiser. Survived as well, which doesn't happen that often for me, but definitely not in this ship. I put it down to the enemy team always having something more interesting to shoot at and a great restraint at charging forward whilst yelling the Marseilles. I'm enjoying the french equivalent of sacrificing dissidents to the gulag but would point out that those aren't overpenetrations - the shells penetrate just fine - they just do a gallic shrug and don't explode as they're on strike
"Allons enfants de la patriiiiiiieeeee, le jour de gloire est arrivé ..." When I play British ships, I listen to "Rule Britannia", it's the "Marseillaise" for me as well in French ships and of course "Preussens Gloria" while playing German ships. The Russian anthem is also great and Tschaikovsky's "Ouverture" is an evergreen. And I do agree that Richelieu is a great ship. There are a lot of great songs from the 80s as welll which set you in the right mood.
The shells penetrate just fine, and then they continue to penetrate just fine until the entire might of the sea stands against them. A battleship gives them no trouble at all, not worth the blast.
I once ended up about 1.5 km face to face against a Jean Bart, while I was in my Richie as we both were coming around an island. Hilariously, he kept trying to rip open my superstructure, while I, with my first salvo, damaged one of his turrets. Then I damaged the other turret with my second salvo, and then destroyed both of his turrets with the 3rd salvo. I did this on purpose so I could turn on my engine boost and get to his side and just rip his citadel a few new holes. He was not happy about that chain of events, and made his displeasure VERY clear in chat.
Jean Bart guns are hilarious for knocking out. Had a ranked game yesterday where its me in JB vs 2 JBs and a yugamo. All I did was dodge torps and hit the guns, killed one JB, almost killed the other and tanked about 3 mil potential while doing it because they wanted superstructure hits and I was happy with breaking guns.
I had something like that happen to me while I was playing my Republique.. Was not fun having no turrets. xD Atleast I specced for secondaries and could still ram someone.
JB has pretty vulnerable turrets if your not careful but they are also very good at killing turrets that don't have stupid amounts of armor on them. Lost count on how many ships had their turrets ripped off with my JB. Only other ship that i have that can kill turrets better is the Petro.
So a French reporter doing a piece on HMS Victory while touring the gun deck asked if those were the real cannonballs from the Battle of Trafalgar, the tour guy without missing a beat said " no the French Navy still has those"
The look of utter confusion of Mt wife, and my 11 year old daughter bursting out laughing at Jingles introducing Rainbow Glitter Farts just made my day....
9:30 Jingles, pen damage, both AP and HE, can be healed by 50%. Only fire damage can potentially be healed 100%. Also, the protagonist did way less to planes than he could have, as he was not using the B-Hull (as evidenced by the low health pool).
11:25 The player might be disabled, but you have shown a video previously of someone who was fully blind. They had to rely on information from two other people watching the screen - one controlling ship movement, the other controlling the guns - make a decision, and relay that information back to whichever person needed it.... and that player still did very well. I can't recall if they won or lost the battle, but it was certainly a defining point that being disabled is not an excuse for playing badly.
The key to Rich in my experience is positioning. If you make yourself the priority target, you will quickly melt faster than any other BB line, and you have a smaller health pool than pretty much every other line, especially the fact that you can see this player is the A Hull because he has a plane *and* next to no health. But with a top speed of 32 knots (not 30, sorry Jingles, Rich was the fastest BB before Iowa was made in real life) and an engine boost to boot, giving you nearly 40 knots of speed, meaning you can cross the map if needed which means you can play the wide flank and still hit the other side of the map when needed. Ergo, you can burn an engine boost at the start of the match, perch up at an island, on the flank or otherwise, to force an early crossfire on your enemies. Plus the HE and AP are solid monsters so no matter how your enemy angles, you can still hurt them despite the smaller gun caliber. Not to mention the weirdness of the armor being "internal" by WeeGee, which means in game sometimes you should get nuked by damage but it all bounces for no reason, or all overpens/hits the torpedo protection, and the inverse happens for no reason as well. As for the guns, they are best used at 10-14km, where the accuracy is passable and the shells have a bit of drop on the arc to give you a better chance to smack the waterline. I respect your opinion on the ship, and you have played longer than I have, But I have played that ship for a lot of my hours for fun, learning the strengths and weaknesses of it because I adore the real ship and the innovations/unique design France gave it, as well as the USA upgrades giving it the better of both designs by shoving bofors on everything they could. Plus, I like a ship that can show its full gun battery and not expose its citadel to return fire since you can nose into brawls and pummel Bismarck players with 8 pens per shot. And that is the real victory :)
The Gnaisenau is actually a prety good ship, at least I like it. 6 guns are still enough to do the execution manuver from 3 km away (yes, it has very bad dispersion, but you are meant to go in close). It has the speed and the armor to get close before it dies and it has torpedoes as a backup, if your guns fail you. The way I like to play it is I use speed to rush to a island in the middle of a flank, chill there a bit and then push around the corner, delete a cruiser that was hiding there, torpedo the enemy battleship, while roasting the destroyer with my secondarys. Rince and repeat. Yes, you need skill and balls of steel for that, but its fun. I think that out of the 20 battles I have played with it I've won about 14. Gnaisenau is a good ship change my mind.
Ships like the Gnies I tend to spec for main battery but spec the captain for secondaries. That way I can at least rely more on the main guns before the best time to close in. Yes the ship was meant to close in but it's been a while since it was introduced so when and how to close in needs a bit of change as well.
Anyone else enjoy the fact that Jingles, the legend who mixes up ship types ALL the time, is being the most nitpicky about differentiating between whether a ship is a light or heavy cruiser or is a battleship or battlecruiser while Wargaming themselves are like, "Nah, they're just ships that go boom. AIRCRAFT CARRIERS AND SUBMARINES ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU MUST LOVE THEM AND RESPECT THE BALANCE WE'VE CREATED FOR THEM!!!!!!!!"
Love the name. Wish more famous historical figures had a name like that. Sir Rainbow Glitter Farts. He was the finest prime minister Canada ever had. He kept us out of war!
I hate reworked carriers with every cell of my body but the Ranger deserves a compliment, he actually used his brain and moved his ship when he needed to, keeping a reasonable distance from the enemy ships. You don't see that level of IQ on carriers players very often. Amalfi did great work as well.
I personally like the Richelieu. I know the accuracy leaves a lot to be desired, but I love playing it as a mid range bruiser, skirting it’s concealment radius and playing that line. I’ve also learned to save the engine boost for the moments of “oh shit my team is crumbling on this flank, I need to get out.” Also Rainbow Glitter Farts did not have an upgraded hull Richelieu (you can tell by the two triple 6 inch turrets straddling the superstructure). So, sadly he didn’t have the 40mm bofors and 20 mm Oerlikons to trust in
I've seen Flamu go absolutely ham with the Richelieu before on an older video. The thing is absolutely monstrous if it's allowed to do its job of flanking, and I can attest to the ship's viability in the correct circumstances too, having once seen an opening, shamelessly yolo'd in with a few comrades and completely disrupted the entire enemy team's positions.
One of my easier grinds was going up the French BB's line, I did played a lot with the "Richie", and I remember liking it a lot, I do like the battlecruiser style of gaming so, the entire french line, being fast and agile, fit me quite well... Also all those BC's hiding in the battleship lines in other nations were also fun, including the premiun Scharnhorst, but not so much the british BC hms Hood, I just can´t get it to make it fun
I like the French BB line in general, though I still wish Republique used the Dunkerque/Richelieu layout instead of the crappy Gascogne layout. Either that or a super-Alsace with either 3x4 406mm or 4x4 380mm guns. The latter would be more fun but the former would probably be more competitive.
I’m totally honest with you guys - nothing makes the end of my workday more bearable than 2 things (some coincidence they are coming both from Great Brittania) - reading Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, or watching WoW videos and listening how Jingles laughs here 😂😂😂
I do like the Richelieu, but I'll admit its an odd one. I like to kite with French BBs, since they have the speed for it, but that's difficult to do in the Richy, so it needs to played differently.
Hey jingles I met a world war II pilot a long time ago and he told me that in the Pacific nothing looks like what you see on video. Every ship has different colors for ranging shells and tracers so each ship can figure out which round belongs to which ship. You're probably already aware of this but he said it was as beautiful as it was terrifying rainbow glitter is pretty accurate to me especially now that they've started to enhance old footage I'm starting to see this. Clips of pink mist and yellow shells hitting the water and red and all kinds of s***. Speaking of which when are we going to get a gnome abroad again? It's been awhile. Much love as always.
Yes, I'm one of those who live just on the other side of the Channel and you just triggered intense memories of the hundred year war right from the start of your video. But that's fine, first because you're the best English teacher in the world, and mainly because after 1000 years of common history, we have learned to hate each others with love. (Give Jeanne d'Arc back).
It has really Trolly guns, but remember it trolls the enemy half the time. Love the ship and do good in it. I don't know why but I can't play Jean Bart for the life of my.
You know, as a real battleship the richelieu design was very good, the quad turrets are actually two twin turrets stuck together with an armour dividing wall between. Therefore taking a hit to the turret, wouldn't wipe out half the ships guns like in the game. In fact she compares very favorably to ships like Bismarck and Hood which have a similar armament, armour and speed while being much heavier, making the French design very efficient, and much more cost effective. Despite this, she was fairly useless, because France's fate was decided in the land war.
Was in the Richelieu when matchmaking put me on the same team as Flambass and Gibbins in their Tier 10s. Came top of the team, won the game. That was a good day.
About mispronouncing French ship names. I always pronounce Henri as Henry with an emphasized H, Saint Louis as the American city's name is pronounced, Dunkerque as Dun-ker-key, Jean Bart as Jean (like blue jeans) Fart, and lastly Bourgogne as Burger-gong. Just to name a few. Love it.
@2:45 "Here I am complaining about this and Rainbow Glitter Farts goes and does that." Jingles, did you ever think you would utter a sentence like this? LOL!
That Gaede didn't die until almost 6:30 into the video. What were they doing or not doing that they got such a low score? They weren't even the first to die on the team. There were already 3 or 4 kills when they went down. They must have fired almost no shots and had no spotting damage.

I wont try to change your mind on the Richielulu! I really can’t see why anyone would play a battleship with both bad guns and bad armour. But I guess our hero just wanted to show that skill is what really matters!😊
I know WoWs is an arcade game and not a sim, but it's good to remember that in WW1 and WW2, the gun accuracy of capital ships vs ships was only something like 10-12% so the guns in WoWs are unrealistically accurate compared to their real world counterparts. The spread of the gun shots might be magnified graphically, but single turret salvos could "spray" a target in real life. The pressure wave of a round being fired only a fraction of a second quicker than another could affect the ballistic trajectory of the shell enough to make it land sever dozen feet "off target" at long range. Other factors like the physical properties of the round, the barrel lining and cordite bags could also make the individual guns differ from one another in terms of target accuracy on any given salvo round.
It's funny because in Wows Blitz, at least when I played it 6 months ago, it was considered an OP ship, and it was extremely good. Not sure if anything has changed since then but it was a great BB in that game (if you knew how to play it)
The Weser's last squadron was dive bombers...which he threw away in a cross attack on a cruiser. Just in case you thought he was just misusing his TBs, he's also awful with his other planes.
as a person who abandoned french cruiser line because i had a feeling my charles martel had citadel mountend ON THE SIDE OF THE SHIP, rather than inside of it, and decided to go french battleship line and is about to grind the richeleu, i just want to say.............welp, i'm almost there
One thing the Gneisenau is good at is destroying entire squadrons of tier VI carrier planes without getting dropped once... if the Gneisenau is running you down, it can actually deplane you post-2020. This isn't to say that carriers aren't still in need of proper balancing... Jingles's point about win rates is quite persuasive.
Someone needs to find an 8 year old world of warships player to show us all up. I once ended up in a platoon in Planetside 2 where the 12 year old was running the show like a professional. Its got voice coms and we all wanted to know how old he was and whether grandpa was calling the shots. Nope, the kid just likes military history. If that kid gets into a real war, the other side is in for a world of hurt. He had us dropping back up bases, flanking everything, pulling decoy attacks, ambushes, the works. Actually it would be fun to see Jungles play a Max in Planetside 2. Its free.
I'm sorry Jingles, but I really like the Richelieu. Also this is a rare game where it came down to last few seconds to declare a winner. Nothing worse then a steamroller game, where one side just loses so many ships so fast they hit zero and the game is over early.
You're right, jingles. Rainbow glitter farts is a hilarious call sign. Also, you're right, the Rich e lulu is a silly ship. The gun configuration is goofy. It's like the HMS Nelson. All main batteries on the bow. Also also, I try my darnedest not to play carriers. It's only with the daily "missions" section when required to play as an AC that I break out my Langley. I'm rubbish with it though. Either I get all twisted on how I wanna play my carrier, help my team. Or go all rogue and just act easy opportunities. But I avoid playing out my carrier.
"Go Go Gadget secondaries!" is the best Jingles line of the month for me.
"Sacrifice a sufficient amount of chickens to the ghost of Charles De Gaul's mistress fucking got me", Jingles is on fire with this vid

I've seen Flamu go absolutely ham with the Richelieu before on an older video. The thing is absolutely monstrous if it's allowed to do its job of flanking, and I can attest to the ship's viability in the correct circumstances too, having once seen an opening, shamelessly yolo'd in with a few comrades and completely disrupted the entire enemy team's positions.

Can confirm. Was once in a stock Colorado. Dueled a Gascogne on my own. Aimed for his turrets. Killed the aft one in two salvoes
One of my easier grinds was going up the French BB's line, I did played a lot with the "Richie", and I remember liking it a lot, I do like the battlecruiser style of gaming so, the entire french line, being fast and agile, fit me quite well... Also all those BC's hiding in the battleship lines in other nations were also fun, including the premiun Scharnhorst, but not so much the british BC hms Hood, I just can´t get it to make it fun
I like the French BB line in general, though I still wish Republique used the Dunkerque/Richelieu layout instead of the crappy Gascogne layout. Either that or a super-Alsace with either 3x4 406mm or 4x4 380mm guns. The latter would be more fun but the former would probably be more competitive.
I’m totally honest with you guys - nothing makes the end of my workday more bearable than 2 things (some coincidence they are coming both from Great Brittania) - reading Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, or watching WoW videos and listening how Jingles laughs here 😂😂😂
I do like the Richelieu, but I'll admit its an odd one. I like to kite with French BBs, since they have the speed for it, but that's difficult to do in the Richy, so it needs to played differently.
i agree. french stuff is always somewhat different... a bit glas canony
The weakness of this ship is an indictment on the weakness of this game.
AA isn't modelled right and over pen is ridiculous...
Hey jingles I met a world war II pilot a long time ago and he told me that in the Pacific nothing looks like what you see on video. Every ship has different colors for ranging shells and tracers so each ship can figure out which round belongs to which ship. You're probably already aware of this but he said it was as beautiful as it was terrifying rainbow glitter is pretty accurate to me especially now that they've started to enhance old footage I'm starting to see this. Clips of pink mist and yellow shells hitting the water and red and all kinds of s***. Speaking of which when are we going to get a gnome abroad again? It's been awhile. Much love as always.
How could anyone not watch a replay when someone has that incredible user-name. :)
Jingles, you definitely forgot about Kansas. Ship was a nightmare to grind through.
The title alone is worth a thumbs up!
Great players, using bizarre names to make a Jingles appearance. What a World. LOL
What Flamu calls Richelieu a Potato Ship and Flamu calls the Gascogne the Gascan, because the Gascan burn so easily.
Oh man, that name! 🤣🤣🤣
How could I miss this episode when it was uploaded? 🤔
Yes, I'm one of those who live just on the other side of the Channel and you just triggered intense memories of the hundred year war right from the start of your video. But that's fine, first because you're the best English teacher in the world, and mainly because after 1000 years of common history, we have learned to hate each others with love. (Give Jeanne d'Arc back).
That is an awesome user name. Hurrah to Rainbow Glitter Farts!
The best part about this ship is that people always underestimate it and give full broadside to you.
It has really Trolly guns, but remember it trolls the enemy half the time. Love the ship and do good in it. I don't know why but I can't play Jean Bart for the life of my.
I think it’s gonna be a new contest coming up. “How much can you make Jingles laugh from your username”
Jingles has been laughing at names since World of Tanks' gold ammo still cost gold.
You know, as a real battleship the richelieu design was very good, the quad turrets are actually two twin turrets stuck together with an armour dividing wall between. Therefore taking a hit to the turret, wouldn't wipe out half the ships guns like in the game. In fact she compares very favorably to ships like Bismarck and Hood which have a similar armament, armour and speed while being much heavier, making the French design very efficient, and much more cost effective.
Despite this, she was fairly useless, because France's fate was decided in the land war.
Still managed to serve with other Free French ships in the Pacific though.
@@airplanenut89 true, the French got more user out of her than the Japanese got out of Mussashi or Germans got out of Tirpitz.
You're really growing odd with titles... god how I like it :D
"… sacrifice the required number of chickens ...." Human sacrifices are not allowed.
Was in the Richelieu when matchmaking put me on the same team as Flambass and Gibbins in their Tier 10s. Came top of the team, won the game. That was a good day.
8:13 tea out of my nose, goddammit Jingles.
About mispronouncing French ship names. I always pronounce Henri as Henry with an emphasized H, Saint Louis as the American city's name is pronounced, Dunkerque as Dun-ker-key, Jean Bart as Jean (like blue jeans) Fart, and lastly Bourgogne as Burger-gong. Just to name a few. Love it.
Ahh it’s going to be a good battle when the captain has a name as good as that
At least, the chat content should be entertaining...
Richie is EZ mode. Amazing BB. Probably my favorite tech tree BB at T8.
@2:45 "Here I am complaining about this and Rainbow Glitter Farts goes and does that." Jingles, did you ever think you would utter a sentence like this? LOL!
That is one heck of a title, old man. Not sure, what to expect...
How to fix CVs and Submarines:
1. Uninstall the game
2. Enjoy life again
Dropped my phone and randomly skipped forward to "even though he's an utter POTATO, he's in an aircraft carrier"
Ok Sir Jingles, you got me on the video name lol
That’s gotta be the best name in the history of World of Warships!
Amalfi perfectly balanced playing the objectives with being positioned to deal damage but also staying alive. Cruiser masterclass.
Jingles is the only reason I still play warships
That Gaede didn't die until almost 6:30 into the video. What were they doing or not doing that they got such a low score? They weren't even the first to die on the team. There were already 3 or 4 kills when they went down. They must have fired almost no shots and had no spotting damage.
he was in smoke for 1/3, did a loop for an other 1/3, and contested cap and suicided the chappy for the rest.... overall not much.
(reads title) oh boy, the old man's gone off the deep end again...
I permanently disabled both Guns on a Jean Bart one time 🤣😂🤣 he was so helpless he became the fastest torpedo and rammed me... 😑
Jingles goes off about CVs as often as the French go on strike.
We thank you, oh monolith, for revealing the cunning plans of our enemies to us
May your light shine down upon the souls of the brave soldiers who gave their lives, in service of your will
Onward, warriors of the monolith
Avenge your fallen brothers, blessed as they are in their eternal union with the monolith
Bring death to those who spurned the holy power of the monolith
Oh, monolith, we do not hear you
Why have you left us, oh monolith
We await your orders, oh monolith
Those who pledge their lives to service of the monolith are not brainwashed. We see the true holy light of the monolith
The zone is expanding and so are we, watch in awe, as our armies march through radar and into army warehouses and the rest of the zone
Watch in awe as the great monolith tramples every stalker in its path
Oh, monolith
I should send you my replays with me in a carrier... You'd stop saying that carriers are OP right there and then 😂
Rainbow glitter farts reminds me of the game where you could use a tiny unicorn to shoot poop rainbows at your enemies! Hilarious!
Watching this from the mess of a fishing ship, if only we where loaded with amonition and not fish😂
Trust me, if your fishing ship was loaded with ammo you would beg for fish instead
@@stefanocrosazzo3262 you know nothing of my will to live 😂😂😂
I wont try to change your mind on the Richielulu! I really can’t see why anyone would play a battleship with both bad guns and bad armour. But I guess our hero just wanted to show that skill is what really matters!😊
i liked the Richeliulu... it's just a different playstyle for a BB than the others
That sounds like a user name that Flambass' chat would come up with for him to use!
Is it absurd that I stay up late to watch these uploads when I have to work in 5 hours
Jingles doing animal research on the Weser
incredible
With a title like that, I guess I'm watching this video.
I know WoWs is an arcade game and not a sim, but it's good to remember that in WW1 and WW2, the gun accuracy of capital ships vs ships was only something like 10-12% so the guns in WoWs are unrealistically accurate compared to their real world counterparts.
The spread of the gun shots might be magnified graphically, but single turret salvos could "spray" a target in real life. The pressure wave of a round being fired only a fraction of a second quicker than another could affect the ballistic trajectory of the shell enough to make it land sever dozen feet "off target" at long range. Other factors like the physical properties of the round, the barrel lining and cordite bags could also make the individual guns differ from one another in terms of target accuracy on any given salvo round.
The craziest part about this game is that he got not one, but two secondary kills in the Richelieu
The French don't need to mispronounce English names, as the English do it to themselves as a nation that pronounces worchester as wooster.
@1:00 I'm french and i and i confirm it, annoying the other party is an old game between our people ^^
Rainbow Glitter Farts, we finally found a real life unicorn!
It's funny because in Wows Blitz, at least when I played it 6 months ago, it was considered an OP ship, and it was extremely good. Not sure if anything has changed since then but it was a great BB in that game (if you knew how to play it)
The Weser's last squadron was dive bombers...which he threw away in a cross attack on a cruiser. Just in case you thought he was just misusing his TBs, he's also awful with his other planes.
A captain named Rainbow Glitter Farts plays us a game and Jingles gots to be all negative.
My buddy and I made a strain of a plant called Rainbow Glitter Farts - in our own language though. It's a great name!
rainbow glitter farts? that sounds like a great weekend!
Rickylooloo captained by Rainbow Glitter Farts. Great name and great game
as a person who abandoned french cruiser line because i had a feeling my charles martel had citadel mountend ON THE SIDE OF THE SHIP, rather than inside of it, and decided to go french battleship line and is about to grind the richeleu, i just want to say.............welp, i'm almost there
Actually jingles when you said it was his second kill it was actually his third! XD
"Go go gadget secondarys" i died lol
I just read the title and spit my coffee out i laughed so hard.
One thing the Gneisenau is good at is destroying entire squadrons of tier VI carrier planes without getting dropped once... if the Gneisenau is running you down, it can actually deplane you post-2020.
This isn't to say that carriers aren't still in need of proper balancing... Jingles's point about win rates is quite persuasive.
If I return to the franchise, I can imagine all the Fart names are taken
Someone needs to find an 8 year old world of warships player to show us all up. I once ended up in a platoon in Planetside 2 where the 12 year old was running the show like a professional. Its got voice coms and we all wanted to know how old he was and whether grandpa was calling the shots. Nope, the kid just likes military history. If that kid gets into a real war, the other side is in for a world of hurt. He had us dropping back up bases, flanking everything, pulling decoy attacks, ambushes, the works.
Actually it would be fun to see Jungles play a Max in Planetside 2. Its free.
Knew I was staying up waiting for a good vid... :)
That's the worst player huh Jingles? HOLD MY BEER!
I'm sorry Jingles, but I really like the Richelieu. Also this is a rare game where it came down to last few seconds to declare a winner. Nothing worse then a steamroller game, where one side just loses so many ships so fast they hit zero and the game is over early.
You're right, jingles. Rainbow glitter farts is a hilarious call sign. Also, you're right, the Rich e lulu is a silly ship. The gun configuration is goofy. It's like the HMS Nelson. All main batteries on the bow. Also also, I try my darnedest not to play carriers. It's only with the daily "missions" section when required to play as an AC that I break out my Langley. I'm rubbish with it though. Either I get all twisted on how I wanna play my carrier, help my team. Or go all rogue and just act easy opportunities. But I avoid playing out my carrier.
This fart is probably the playthrough I've seen.
