9:42 **M22 continuously blows the tracks off Matilda** “He can’t actually see the Matilda, but the Matilda keeps blowing his tracks off” Oh Jingles....
That deathstar bit reminds me too much of my own games: shots whiffing into the sand just in front of my target; shots zipping through the _tiny_ gap between hull and gun, or even hull and turret; and dead jerks in chat blaming me for sucky RNG and their own incompetence. But ah, Jingles, it was all worth it to hear you singing dum-dum-dum, dum-de-dum, dum-de-dum...
In WT once i was driving full speed with my T-44 when, suddenly a Tiger appeared. I donked the shot in the ground some 10-15m in front of him, and it ricochet off the ground, pened his lower plate just above the transmission and killed the crew... I was like: "I should've died there."
Hoss Cartwright I can understand getting mad at someone who camps at the back and does nothing all game, and I'm not saying I'm any great player; but I'm usually racking up some of the highest damage in the team* and whittling down HP, while others are flailing about in the open, sitting there in confusion while someone spots them and they get pounded. And I get it in the neck. I play some thin-skinned TDs too, so sniping comes a bit more naturally than it might do to a deathstar driver. But one of the last games I played, I got mocked for being a camping TD while my Challenger was zipping ahead of most of the team, to find a decent firing spot. IIRC some of those guys died quick. * I keep saying: it's not because I'm good, it's because most of the others are so crap.
RNGegus: Being respectable enough to use AP in a derp gun? That'll teach you for knowing how to play the game and being able to find your ass in the dark. There's no justice in this game.
Thanks for featuring my deathstar clip Jingles! I was just mostly testing my spotting ranges on this video though... That spot can work miracles even with a deathstar if team spread is like so
5:06 I think that Zipello's ram of the other AMX pushed it back down the slope and lifted the front of its hull slightly. This made the barrel of other AMX go just a little too high and shoot over Zipello. However it could have also just been poor marksmanship regardless, it genuinely could not have gone better for Zipello.
Dear god I quit WoT Console years ago because of their refusal to balance tanks the same way as PC, can I assume the Waffle is also still in the game with it's 6 shell autoloader?
Correct, to be fair to them, they nerfed tanks like the Tier X TVP as was performing too good. We keep asking them to rebalance Deathstar and Waffle but no use but maybe Summers Balance Pass will help (but not counting on it). We also get Super Conqueror in the Summer (so 3 Tier X British Heavies), PC's M48 Patton and maybe Centurion Buffs. My suggestions for Waffle. A) Make it a Foch B B) My favourite, make it into an AMX 50B stats wise (400 damage, 4 shots) I mentioned AMX 50B over T57 Heavy as feel T57 Heavy is kinda OP as well.
Problem with balancing the Waffle is that they tried it multiple times on PC but it was soon realized the only real way to deal with it was to remove it from the game and the TVP was probably only over performing because the unicums tend towards mediums tanks. Hope you enjoy the Super Conq when you get it, it was really good on release on PC.
no need to swear, i'm not swearing at you so i respectfully ask that you don't do it to me, it's partly balanced because A) I never see people complain about AMX 50B, T57 Heavy or Foch B being Overpowered. Give it the same poor pen that the Foch B gets. B) It can no longer clip every tank in the game C) I would prefer AMX 50B as the Waffle could get into combat faster and not reloading for 58 seconds at a time. Give it 3 second delay between the Shells. 1600 Damage then you have a 30 second reload rather than 3300+ Damage then a 58 second reload, Okay DPM . I prefer the 50B suggestion to the Foch B as Foch B DPM is 3100, T57 Heavy DPM is 3202 however AMX 50B DPM is 2618 which would nerf it dramatically. I can see why Foch B way would be unbalanced even if damage potential is 2400 rather than 3300+ then AMX 50B damage potential is 1600. If Console make it an AMX 50B, it could be balanced.
This is by far the best kind of world of tanks videos! I mean there are many channels showing awesome gameplays but not much (i dont know any) that show the funny games.
As you say, Jingles, you never can be surprised how a team can take certain victory and turn it into an embarrassing defeat. I once held a flank alone on Mountain Pass with an AMX-40 and killed 7 of 8 enemy tanks that surrounded me. I had a similar experience once in the Matilda where I killed all 7 enemies when I was alone for my 2nd of 2 Kolobanov's Medals.
I Killed Osama Bin Laden in Vietnam, during WW1, While deployed in China. I was beside Capitan Price and Soap, and we went in loud. I served 36 years in the British spetsnaz and I'm only 16.
Whenever I see a death Star all i Can think of. Is "you may fire when ready " and that death Star replay also made me think of another saying "our turbolasers can't hit their fighters "
That Matilda replay: The Matilda was on 34 health. If the Locust wasn't likely to penetrate him with his gun, why didn't he just sneak around to the Matilda's side and then go full speed for the ram?
My friend is still absolutely devastated by the removal of the Death Star. He got into the game shortly after it was released and revealed at a con [I forget which] where it was offered as one of the demo vehicles. He instantly fell in love with it and spent the better part of what I believe was about 2-3 years grinding to get it. And shortly before he got the xp needed for it, it got removed. Last I saw, he had almost stopped playing the game entirely because nothing else in the game offered quite the same experience that the Death Star did. And after seeing it in action, I can't say I blame him.
Hey, Jingles! Thanks for using my upload! It is George, thank you! I had a birthday in July but none of the presents (which were few) beat yours! Ahaha! My only concern - how the hell did u not comment on the steamy french arty sex moment...! ahaha! Keep up your great work! You mean much more to us than you think!!
I woke up saw a youtube notification World of tanks The good the bad and the ugly and i was like Yes Jingles is back with a kv2 and a masterpiece of his laugh on a kv2 so i put my headset on and lets watch. Thank you uncle jingles madr my day with this 😁
Jingles STILL cackling over that Lyon platoon, I can see him meeting random people in the street and pulling out his phone..."Lady you HAVE got to see this video"!
Classic game at the end, where someone accuses you of losing the game for the team when you are one of the only tanks holding their own weight at all. 16:05 chat
I subscribed today as you were eliminated from The Ring and I missed your awesome videos (especially Jurassic World: Evolution). This video made me chuckle and made my day on a Friday. Anyway, I can hold my breath underwater for about 15-30 s. I think vehicles in World of Tanks should drown only after they have been in the water for 20 s. The XM551 Sheridan is also amphibious so I think it will be fun to introduce amphibious tank mechanics in the game; I would have fun driving the Sheridan tank on water like a speed boat or semi-submersible.
Jingles Jingles!! i know ur up to ur neck in work n travel n giving us yt rats fresh vids....but these "why u heff to be mad" are pure gold!! and please keep doing wat ur doing ur damned good at tho we may say otherwise more often then not =) TY
I think the kv2 in WOT is the 1940 version and jingles was the kv2 ever used in battle cuz all of the documentaries and whatnot I have seen I have never heard the kv2 mentioned and in war thunder there is the 1939 version and the 1940 version
The KV-2 was used extremely sparingly due to its very poor firing abilities on even the flatter surfaces. That being said, one KV-2 in a memorable battle took on and survived a large number of German attacks, bouncing all kinds of rounds like a mobile fortress.
Yeah it was used to defend Leningrad if I recall correctly? It ran out of ammo and then the German stormed it and threw in a hand grenade to get it to open
LOL. I'm no good at it, but even I saw that ridge the Deathstar got hung up on before the driver ran into it. What the heck was he thinking? It's not like the TD moves too fast for him to react.
Of course I enjoyed it. Jingles, you could talk about a cardboard box for 20 minutes and I would still watch. Just knowing your out there makes me happy ;)
Fun fact: The driver of the Locust took the name of Roza Shanina, one of the most famous russian female snipers in ww2. Living up to the name, shooting unseen and blowing tracks with every shot.....
That matilda one reminded me of when i was the last alive versus 8 on a now removed map of which all bar a matilda 4 could penetrate me and i had dead tanks surrounding 3 of my sides!!!.... That match would've been a 8+ kill match if it wasn't for the matilda 4's premium ammo
that deathstar game shows exactly why you dont shoot ap with it, especially from the range, if he would shot even standard he he would have won most likely
When I saw this I was confused because I couldn't tell when the last time was an episode of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly came out and had tI look it up. October 2017 was when the last episode came out... It's so long ago I don't even know what happened...
that crap short fall of shots is why i sold mine. but i needed it back so i rebought it. still pisses me off when your shell falls way short like that.
The other day I suggested Jingles should just sing the YaaMaaaToooooo! Song himself. Screw the lawyers. Now, I’m quite impressed with his singing of a little bit of The Imperial Death March. What other tunes and ditties do we great unwashed think he should try?
I own the 183 and the FV4005, one of my replays was featured about 6 months ago in my FV4005, so you could see loadout, 8 AP, 8 HESH, 4 HE. its fun and all to shoot things with HE and HESH, but you got to be smart about it. if you take into account every tank you can pen from the front that both tanks can see, its not that many tanks at all. Sure, in my replay that was featured I went all HESH, but I got very lucky with a few of them. I have since broken that 8k damage record, only by a 100HP, but it was with AP on El Haluof, instead of Ensk. The AP rounds pen tanks way more then HESH does, and yes, you risk bouncing when shooting AP, but a 183mm AP round with 310 pen, and in the 4005's case, .35 accuracy, it isn't likely if you know how to aim. shooting HESH is situational at best, not an ammunition type to shoot as the only type of round. I only have respect for 183 and 4005 drivers when they at least carry some AP rounds. the mentality of nothing but HESH died when the tanks got 8 extra shells added to their capacity, so you can afford to miss a few rounds, bounce a few, and maybe splash a couple, and still come out with a few AP pens, which will give you at least 3k damage or more (if you penned 3 or more, which isn't hard to do at all). Now, in the 183 though, with 0.37 accuracy at best, I don't blame people at all for firing nothing but HESH or HE at range, because you are not likely to snipe someone at 300 meters with that kind of accuracy with AP, but you can with the FV4005 more reliably, but I tend to play my 4005 like a heavy tank anyways, so most of the time my targets are up in my face almost when I pull the trigger, just watch any of my FV4005 replays on my channel, most of them, I am up front with the heavy tanks, or close enough to count, getting shots off, and not taking that much damage in return. on another note, I prefer the 4005 over the 183, because the 4005 is so much more flexible in battle then the 183 is, its just better at doing everything except blocking damage with armour, which that goes to the 183 :)

Oh Jingles....
Jia Jun Oh that was good
*waits for the video to get demonetized because some random company claims the video of Jingles' singing in the name of The Mighty Jingles(c)*
'That 48-gun salute was disgusting, but you guys seemed to like it.'

RNG just hates some people. I can't count how many times I've had shots go anywhere but center in an M56 Scorpion with a 100% crew.
Stark Raven Wait, shots can go in the center?!?!
It's always the last tank alive to get the blame :-D
Hoss Cartwright I can understand getting mad at someone who camps at the back and does nothing all game, and I'm not saying I'm any great player; but I'm usually racking up some of the highest damage in the team* and whittling down HP, while others are flailing about in the open, sitting there in confusion while someone spots them and they get pounded.

just remember that rock and all is good ;) well played though :)
12:24 *turns on Spotify and proceeds to imperially march along with intensified forward amplifyer
The Lyon division gives some of those TOG platoon feels. We know its dirty
Holy crap, Jingles...56 episodes of this? And I still remember the first one...
Oh, you should watch Episode 7 for the memes... XD
5:06 I think that Zipello's ram of the other AMX pushed it back down the slope and lifted the front of its hull slightly. This made the barrel of other AMX go just a little too high and shoot over Zipello. However it could have also just been poor marksmanship regardless, it genuinely could not have gone better for Zipello.
Can I get Jingles humming the full Imperial March so I can have it as a ringtone
Can't. Otherwise he'll be sued for copyright :3
Actually Jingles, it's entirely possible the Locust is out of ammo. They don't really carry that much ammunition.
Yes Jingles, it is 12 shots. We have Deathstar on Console with 12 shots and still 270 mm of HESH penetration.
Dear god I quit WoT Console years ago because of their refusal to balance tanks the same way as PC, can I assume the Waffle is also still in the game with it's 6 shell autoloader?

A) Make it a Foch B

I mentioned AMX 50B over T57 Heavy as feel T57 Heavy is kinda OP as well.

If Console make it an AMX 50B, it could be balanced.
Still enough to kill 15 on the odd day where lightly armored niubs flock close to one another. Plus you can ram sometimes :)
This is by far the best kind of world of tanks videos! I mean there are many channels showing awesome gameplays but not much (i dont know any) that show the funny games.
I sure do miss, Random acts of violence. :-) :-)

Who dares to call you a liar 🤥
Talk no more peasant!
thats some next level shit posting.
sorry this i all wrong at least try before you lie. Osama bin laden was in a plane in america at that point
Dr. Vikyll, wooooosh
Wowie finally another episode of my all-time favourite anime
First Jingles video I watched in months and boy was it a good one!
inb4 Sony musics copyrights the comment section for humming the imperial march

Arvenski because with 34 hp left matilda can probably survive a ram from 33 full hp locusts :)

9:39 "He's not hitting the Matilda, the Matilda however keeps blowing his tracks off" That's a funny looking Matilda there Jingles...
I woke up saw a youtube notification World of tanks The good the bad and the ugly and i was like Yes Jingles is back with a kv2 and a masterpiece of his laugh on a kv2 so i put my headset on and lets watch.
Thank you uncle jingles madr my day with this 😁
Jingles STILL cackling over that Lyon platoon, I can see him meeting random people in the street and pulling out his phone..."Lady you HAVE got to see this video"!
15:44 Well that shot is on an express route to Himmelsdorf. And here's where those "ghost shots" that semingly come out of nowhere originate from.

Im pretty sure the Locust used ALL his ammo keeping the Matilda tracked for that long time.
YES! I was rewatching this series yesterday
Wow I've been waiting for this for years now.
Great vid as always, Jingles!
OMFG that KV-2s name is pure genius I love it!!!
Great video Jingles, thank you!
Yeeeey this series is back! 😍 Thank you Mr. Jingles!
I love the commentary on these. Maybe start a top playes video series?
15:24 I like how you intentionally paused the replay there to show what happened
Jingles Jingles!! i know ur up to ur neck in work n travel n giving us yt rats fresh vids....but these "why u heff to be mad" are pure gold!! and please keep doing wat ur doing ur damned good at tho we may say otherwise more often then not =) TY
1:44 the reply to "DID YOU SEE THAT?":
"do it again was texting" :D
Took a while. I've been rewatching the older ones lately.
Man this is retro. It's like I'm back in 95 all over again.
I love the Deathstar as it is one of the few things I got that makes the other team go nope nope nope.
YES ITS BACK THANKS SO MUCH
Thank you for showing some Hero-Artillery instead of the regular cavalcade of scumbags! Hat off for those brave Arty-crews!
Yay!
Finally a new episode of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly!
I think the kv2 in WOT is the 1940 version and jingles was the kv2 ever used in battle cuz all of the documentaries and whatnot I have seen I have never heard the kv2 mentioned and in war thunder there is the 1939 version and the 1940 version

Already had to play against a Lyon division, thanks Jingles
It's been a while....God I love the intro.
the fact that I was in that O-I platoon earned my sub
Awesome video and thx for still doing wot content. Cheers.
LOL. I'm no good at it, but even I saw that ridge the Deathstar got hung up on before the driver ran into it. What the heck was he thinking? It's not like the TD moves too fast for him to react.
Almost 600K subs Jangles! Good job! Imma mine more salt and hopefully emerge when you get there :)
Of course I enjoyed it. Jingles, you could talk about a cardboard box for 20 minutes and I would still watch. Just knowing your out there makes me happy ;)
the death star yells fuck subtle and just blows shit up
Fun fact: The driver of the Locust took the name of Roza Shanina, one of the most famous russian female snipers in ww2. Living up to the name, shooting unseen and blowing tracks with every shot.....
That matilda one reminded me of when i was the last alive versus 8 on a now removed map of which all bar a matilda 4 could penetrate me and i had dead tanks surrounding 3 of my sides!!!.... That match would've been a 8+ kill match if it wasn't for the matilda 4's premium ammo
Random question to you all:
People with the TOG that play on EU server anyone wanna do a full tier 6 Skirmish team full of togs?
Yay I absolutely love the Good The Bad and The Ugly videos!!!
Finaly Jingles, my abstinence it come to an end!
That FV was definitely king of the hill
KV 2 seems to have a crew skill where not aiming increases your shot accuracy by 100%.
I did start humming the Imperial March theme if it makes you feel any better, Jingles.
SING the ENTIRE thing, Jingles!
Jingles, I almost spit out my drink when I heard the KV-2 driver's name.
that deathstar game shows exactly why you dont shoot ap with it, especially from the range, if he would shot even standard he he would have won most likely
Take a shot everytime Jingles has his moments!
Great video Jingles :)
When I saw this I was confused because I couldn't tell when the last time was an episode of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly came out and had tI look it up. October 2017 was when the last episode came out... It's so long ago I don't even know what happened...
I love the name alone
Jingles pulled a Jingles, and called the Locust a Matilda, and a Matilda a Locust.
You know that friendly amx arty was screaming at the enemy arty... Its over Anakin, I have the high ground!
that crap short fall of shots is why i sold mine. but i needed it back so i rebought it. still pisses me off when your shell falls way short like that.
HUH, AcTuAlLy jingles, there is only ONE Queen of the Battlefield and that is the Infantry!
1:00 when i fire with my KV2 like that..it goes of the monitor... wtf
>Opens new tab
>Starts playing imperial theme
>one happy boi :)
>sees track physics and cringes
>ah bloody hell. :(
Finally another addition.
It's back, it's finally back!!!
Before the video, I got an advert showing a Ford Fiesta ST being driven around a salt mine :)
Morning jingles and everyone else
BRAVO!!! A Knightly Battle!
A Jingles video at 6am and I haven't been to bed yet. Let's do it.
The other day I suggested Jingles should just sing the YaaMaaaToooooo! Song himself. Screw the lawyers. Now, I’m quite impressed with his singing of a little bit of The Imperial Death March. What other tunes and ditties do we great unwashed think he should try?
"How do you follow something like that?"
3 Yamato Division :))))
Or mino+worcester+Haku :D
or tripple shimakaze 20km torps synch salvo :P
Meh, too expansive to do it in tier X. Try 2xFiji+1xAtlanta. Or 3xKamikazeR with 19 point captains.
Vladimir Efimov why 2 Fiji and Atlanta when you can have 3 Belfast. :D
Triple Alsace. All specced for secondaries.
The only way to follow it up is with three battleship Moskvas
Ohh it's been so long since we got one of these.
we need a jingles musical now xD
Hey Jingles the Waffen Träger and Death Star are still available on the Xbox
That WoW video was too awesome.
The last time jingles uploaded a world of warcraft video was last year, no? Or you just meant world of warships which would be wows, not wow.
Every time I see Jingles upload a WOT video, I hope my replay is in it...
Tigershark232 same
Glad to see u in wot..
Cue up Imperial March on your music players for Jingles at 11:56 since he can't.
really? the FV215B got stuck? The recoil of this cannon should just launch this tank back some 9-10 Meters!
It's actually VERY likely the Locust ran out of ammo, it only carries 40 rounds. I've done it before.
great vid again Jingles - at 15:03 what is that cool piano background music?
Oh that last replay. Poor dude.
amusing, yes indeed!
I own the 183 and the FV4005, one of my replays was featured about 6 months ago in my FV4005, so you could see loadout, 8 AP, 8 HESH, 4 HE. its fun and all to shoot things with HE and HESH, but you got to be smart about it. if you take into account every tank you can pen from the front that both tanks can see, its not that many tanks at all. Sure, in my replay that was featured I went all HESH, but I got very lucky with a few of them. I have since broken that 8k damage record, only by a 100HP, but it was with AP on El Haluof, instead of Ensk. The AP rounds pen tanks way more then HESH does, and yes, you risk bouncing when shooting AP, but a 183mm AP round with 310 pen, and in the 4005's case, .35 accuracy, it isn't likely if you know how to aim. shooting HESH is situational at best, not an ammunition type to shoot as the only type of round. I only have respect for 183 and 4005 drivers when they at least carry some AP rounds. the mentality of nothing but HESH died when the tanks got 8 extra shells added to their capacity, so you can afford to miss a few rounds, bounce a few, and maybe splash a couple, and still come out with a few AP pens, which will give you at least 3k damage or more (if you penned 3 or more, which isn't hard to do at all). Now, in the 183 though, with 0.37 accuracy at best, I don't blame people at all for firing nothing but HESH or HE at range, because you are not likely to snipe someone at 300 meters with that kind of accuracy with AP, but you can with the FV4005 more reliably, but I tend to play my 4005 like a heavy tank anyways, so most of the time my targets are up in my face almost when I pull the trigger, just watch any of my FV4005 replays on my channel, most of them, I am up front with the heavy tanks, or close enough to count, getting shots off, and not taking that much damage in return.
on another note, I prefer the 4005 over the 183, because the 4005 is so much more flexible in battle then the 183 is, its just better at doing everything except blocking damage with armour, which that goes to the 183 :)
In my KV-2, i've put a dice as an emblem, because its always up to rng, if the shot hits or not....XD.
