World of Tanks - If You Can't Take A Joke... 

If you can take a joke, you can play World of Tanks. On the other hand, if you can take a joke too far, you can be a developer for World of Tanks.

Jingles, I'm going to have to disagree with you about the S-tank not having a turret. _To me_ it looks more like it doesn't have a _hull._ The Swedes just slapped the engines and tracks right onto the turret and left the hull out behind the barn.

The S-tank was designed to stop an invaison of Sweden from the east. The Swedes were mostly concerned that if we in Finland ran out of alcohol that we'd turn to our neighbourghs and plunder their strategic ethanol reserves.

If WoT does anything better than WT it's their implementation of hull aiming. Trying to aim the Strv 103 in WT on any slight incline will give you a siezure. I'm just drooling over how smooth the hull aiming in WoT is.

Actually Jingles... in the S tank the gunner and the driver is the same. He has two sets of periscopes, one for driving and one for the gun. Basically when he moves into position the driver switches the tank to a low gear mode. Using different gears on the transmission and a diesel engine instead of the gas turbine in order to be able to do the precise movements to aim. And when he needs to scoot he just switches back. Technically an S tank could be operated by one guy since it also had an autoloader. The commander and the radio guy was there to have more sets of eyes and ease operation.

Fantastic teamwork from the BatChat and Dowjoe. Excellent scouting I thought in particular. Felt like a "spotter/shooter" sniper team. Shame about the loss. Though it wasn't a total loss. He was 3xp behind the top XP earner on the winning team. Well, not a total loss for Dowjoe (his team still didn't get much).

Although a loss, remember this is a random battle. And a TD and a Scout coordinating? In RB? Priceless and rare.

Doctrinally the first person to see a target shoots at it, so even the driver has the ability to aim and shoot. Also: all crew also has the ability to drive the tank too. IIRC the only crewman than can't aim and shoot the gun is the radio operator, who sits facing backwards and is also the one responsible for driving backwards too.

The bounce at 10:00 has me laughing at that AE. HE and HEAT shells don't overmatch- if he'd fired AP he would've survived and guaranteed his team the win!

Actually Jingles, overmatch works for guns OVER 3x armour not 3x and higher. So if You have 30mm of armour You will get overmatched by guns of 91mm and higher caliber, but NOT 90mm.

Doesn't overmatch require the calibre to be MORE than 3 times the armour thickness? Or in this case, 91mm?

The issue with the S-tanks armor in WoT is how they determine overmatch. Which is not remotely realistic.

I love how he works the bush. Sometimes I will side scrape inside the bush and pull out before going back in ... into the bush

I always love seeing the S Tanks being played well, it's a tank I've never been good at myself back when I played but I've always found them really cool.

The spot and shoot buddy system shown here was pretty good. I guess this is what modern snipers work like.

Oh Jingles, 8 out 15 tanks killed is just over half of the enemy team killed, not 3/4, lol! Never change!

That was brutal. His back must be hurting loads.

The driver IS the gunner, but the commander can shoot and drive too. Then there is a back driver too.

So about the AE Phase 1 bounce There's a weird thing about the S1s armor model, where the entire area above the tracks isnt attached to the hull, it's all space armor for no reason. 1/3rd of the tank isn't a hitbox, and everything up to 183mm AP will see it as armor not hit.

It is a tank destroyer that happens to be an MBT. Much like tank destroyer, MBT is a role. Literally anything that can be classified as a tank (which all tank destroyers are tanks themselves) can be a nation’s MBT. I have made this point elsewhere but technically something like a BTR or APC can technically be classified as a tank and can therefore be a nations’s MBT if that is the only thing they have.

IIRC, in the actual S tank, the driver and gunner are the same person. Prior to fast turning turrets and true fire on the move stabilization, the S tank was at least as fast as getting onto target as a turreted tank.

Great team work between the TD and the LT

Another thing they got wrong with the s-tanks is that they have a mean auto-loader *grumpy Swedish noises *

Ooooooh this intro brings back some childhood memories, thank you grandpa jingles

Don't forget about the udea and it's armor at tier 8. Also it's more that x3. 90mm doesn't overmatch

The mighty jingles it's always a pleasure to listen to your commentary

God damn my son, I've missed your voice. RU-vid stopped putting your videos in my feed and life got in the way but damn is it good to be back. much to catch up on

Jingles I’m so glad that you still do world of tanks videos!!!! I remember when you first started you were the one who got me so hyped to play :) Thank you for being a great entertainer :D

Another great video. Coming back from holidays today, have 2 weeks of Jingles to catch-up

I remember shortly after I got the 150mm (or is it 152?) gun on my T30, I spotted one of these Swedish tank destroyers and remember thinking "Not today sunshine." and then proceed to nail him to the wall. No bounce for you!

Great job for the batcat and the "tank Destroyer"

Amazing. S1 player clearly knows how to play this tank.I would not be dissapointed with the loss I would enjoy the cooperation with the B-C player, this is quite rare therse times unfortunatelly.

Fun fact, the S tank was tested against the Patton and it was found to be only half a second slower engaging targets from the move, and considerably more accurate with much sturdier protection. So... Yeah. Unconventional, but in the era before stabilizers definitely a tank (once the normies got stabilizers and were able to fire on the move things were different). P.S.the Driver IS the gunner

Sorry Jingles, overmatch is caliber of gun needs to (3x + 1) than the armor you are trying to over match. So to overmatch the Strv S1 here you need 91mm or higher, or 121mm to overmatch 40mm armor plates etc etc

Oooh Jingles, don't ever change!

Jingles, your commentary made a good game, a great game to watch and hear you.

Nice that Löwe has 490 damage and 2 kills. Considering dowjoe had 137HP left and Löwe´s alpha is around 320, that dude had AT MOST 3 hits in entire match.

Good job to him and fedia7518, you guys did very well... 👍👍👍

Cant we agree on the GMT being the same as "Amsterdam " time (GMT+1). Because I got my coffee (sometimes tea) a couple of croissants and no Jingles video yet to enjoy while im enjoying my breakfast ;)

Such beautiful tragedy... Its rare to get that constellation of factors where in your particular precinct on the map you are in the zone... Its not so rare that it all goes to shit in "The End".

They tested the armor on the S tank by firing at it with a sabot round from an T72, it went through the bars, the frontal armor and the rest of the tank…

I miss the days when Soviet Mediums and BatChats ruled clan wars, and seal clubbers roamed freely in LolTractors spamming gold

Too be fair, they had a 6k hit point deficit at 2 versus 6. Good team work with the batchat. The meatheads almost threw it all away. Just don't give up. I've been in games where the team has been down 7k+ and managed to comeback and win. GG dowjoe.

If you can't handle an ancient intro from Jingles the you REALLY can't take a joke

Great example of teamwork.

"Siege mode activated, run while you still have legs to carry you!"

I just want you to see the world as I do...giggling in a corner and bleeding.

Great vid Mr J!

Hey jingles love the videos

Jingles: It's like a Battlecruiser.

Awesome gameplay, thanks for sharing)

Let us bow our heads for DowJoe.... a truly Ace Tanker in his own right! May he tank ever more in the ever after... ooooor until he joins another battle!! lol

I was hoping to see the assistance the bat chat got.

The S1 actually has exceptional gun depression with 11 degrees in siege mode, and very little of the tank needs to be exposed to clear the gun muzzle. And, yes, the driver and gunner were one and the same. Three crew members: Commander, Driver/gunner, then radio operator, who also is a backup driver for going backwards really fast and a loader for special ammo, since the S tank series had auto-loaders for APCR and HE rounds. The S tank series also had the distinction of it being possible for a single person to operate in a combat scenario and still be reasonably effective.

Well played!

One of my favourite tanks in the game.. It's an absolute powerhouse.. Just stay long range and hidden.

Wow..... and it was encounter mode, it was bit stupid of opponent to engage with all tanks....almost tried to win harder.....

Damn I’m early today! Nothing like a jingles video to start the day!

So close! Oh my God, that got intense at the end!

the Real S-tank had 50 rounds on a chain fed autoloader, could fire every 3 seconds,WG won't let you get that because of Game play reasons, or to put it another way "It scares the Russian tanks!"

The Stridsvagn 103 was meant to be rc controled and experiment with this was done by the swedish army also, but it never went to realisation, thats also whye TANK 103 looks like it does /Greetings frome Sweden ;)

You know Jing, i watched a video of about the history of he Obj.705A and the amount of BS that Wargaming had came up with AND the amount of so called "Downsides A.K.A Deficiencies" I laughed a lot

daily dose of Mighty Jingle to feel happy

Wow, that was a great battle.

No it's not only 490 damage; it's the right 490pts of damage.

Little Willie had no turret nor did the mk 1, mk 2 etc or the German A7V no tank had a turret until the cute Renault FT, so I think we could safely call any AFV a tank

Actually Jingles.. The driver is also the gunner. He both drives and shoots with his controls. The commander spots targets and can “lay the gun” via his own controls, or he just directs the driver/gunner verbally. He can shoot as well, but the primary gunner is the driver…

Thanks Jingles

Also, the S Tank could not fire its gun while on the move

So nice to hear proper Swedish. Its not an English person trying to speak it.

RNG without random, premium ammo as a credit drain and a matchmaker for premium.

If this was me I would not have a computer anymore😂

And a shout out to the BC12t, fedia, who did the best thing he could do: support the only teammate he had who knows how to play xD

one last video before bed, Cheers Jingles

He got more base xp on the losing team then anyone except for the guy who was top of the enemy team by only 3 xp. And my god the 220k silver because premium

To be fair. The Sweds, have a lot of area where the side to side isn't an issue.

What an utter heartbreaker. My god. 8 kills, 9k damage, and still couldn't win - finished off by the noob in the Lowe who somehow managed to survive till the very end only doing 490 damage. What a joke this game is - it's results like these that cause people to quit this game. These results simply shouldn't happen, but they do, thanks to the disaster that the game's playerbase has evolved into.

The description of how the STRV103 aims and moves is not quite right. The gunner is the driver. In addition to the gunner, there is a tank commander and a backwards driver. The commander and the gunner have the same controls so both can drive and shoot. The backwards driver takes care of the tanks radio.

Benefits of working nights (USA) is I’m early for jingles uploads lol

It's not so much that the gunner takes over from the driver, the driver and the gunner is one and the same, there is also the commander, and the reverse driver/radio operator. Yes the S-tank goes as fast backwards as it does going forwards. And hey, the 11 degrees of gun depression is better than pretty much all of the post WWII soviet tanks XD

that ending hurt

My Obj 269 and 704 eats that series of TD's for breakfast if I can spot them.

Actually Jingles. Overmatch is a very real thing, although it doesn´t occur in modern tanks for good reason anymore. The modern Projectiles are not big enough, the carry the energy in a more efficient way to the target, which allows for better protection with less armor. Whereas big bulky AP shells had a certain mass/volume to haul around, modern materials are denser and brittle, they either bite into the armor or shatter, rarely deflect off the tank. The reason is the plastic deformation limit of the armor that those bulky shells hit. If you take for example a BB pistol and load it with a plastic BB, it can deflect off a piece of paper, do the same thing with a steel BB shot at the same speed, it can easily penetrate, because it just carries too much energy for the "armor" in this case to handle. The same will happen to steel plating. It´s a combination of armor thickness, speed of the projectile and it´s mass (so basically the energy that it can convey) If that is more than the armor can handle it will just give and the projectile will basically fly through, althought it loses energy while doingt that. So even in ricochets that mechanic will be in play and the armor would be left damaged and more vulnerable than before. I don´t think any game accounts for dmg to armor. Not that i would know of anyways.

I mean Jingles, there was lot of tanks called armored cars because they were use in cavarly units for example in France or USA.

I mean... It isn't quite a tank destroyer... It's just a casemate that RESEMBLES tank destroyers, but there's no 1-off attribute or specific purpose that it is built for, so it's just... A medium tank without a turret? If I will get pissed about one thing, it's people calling it the S-tank. That could mean quite literally any Stridsvagn in the world, yet for some reason it's reserved for the most limited model?

But Jingles, the AMX CDC is not a tank - it was designed as a Tank Destroyer. If that wasn't bad enough, the T25/2 wasn't designed as a Tank Destroyer, it was a medium. If that wasn't bad enough, most Tank Destroyers in World of Tanks were regarded as Self Propelled Guns and the T18 HMC which has been subject of some of your most hilarious videos, started in World of Tanks as a TD and changed to a Self Propelled Gun. I suppose we have to blame Wargaming for confusing our definition of what was a tank and not a tank.

Actually Jingles US doctrine wouldn't considered towed AT guns as tank destroyers. The role of tank destroyer was for vehicles that would be held in reserve until the panzers came at which point they would be deployed to chase them off or destroy them.

Actually, to overmatch, the gun caliber has to be greater than 3x the nominal armour thickness. So, to overmatch 30mm of armour you need a gun that is 91mm or larger. So, tanks with 90mm guns will not penetrate the S1. This is most beneficial for the T10 103B because all the german 150mm guns will auto-ricochet, but the russian 152mm guns and american 155mm guns will overmatch.

Hey on the bright side the enemy team knew how to swarm him together this time

The driver is the gunner, the siege mode doesnt exist in the real thing. So you go smooth and fast from full speed to stoping and shooting. A S-tank at full speed could turn its gun 180 degrees in seconds. The commander has the same gun and driving controls as the driver-gunner, so with two spotter-driver-gunners and no seige mode in RL it was a fast OFFENSIVE deadly tank. The S-tanks massacred the Lepoard IIs(STRV 121s) in the last exercises with the S-tank. So the S-tank is by all means the most nerfed tank in the game, with no comparison.

Brutal.

The s tanks are fun tanks and can work well even with a more agressive play style thanks to the turbo we can now put in to massively increase the mobility in siege mode

WoT does not rely on IRL rules, it follows RnGesus

WG and overmatch is a strange thing. As KV-2 can bounce on both Hellcats and BUGIs.....

Yeah, it's the special hatred the devs have for light tanks that lost the match.

Aw man...

Let's gooo!

It is not a tank per says , it is more a turret on track.

I’m surprised this pay to win time sink is still going.
