World of Warships - Battleship Replay Winner 

I have a feeling that the wildcard winner is going to be a guy named "Duffy" in a Gearing class destroyer.

It's not ironic that the focus of the discussion in the Battleship replay is on the enemy destroyer, it's the state of the game. No battleship duels, just a tier 10 bullying tier 8s and running away from a destroyer as fast as possible.

You can watch this match from Duffeys point of view if you search for the video "World of Warships: Epic Replay Episode 2 - Gearing Tier X Gameplay"

Most of the winners won because of insane lucky MM and the swarm of Tirpitz's

This guy MUST learn where Shift key is...

"Admiral we're surrounding and nearly outnumbered!" Crusta: "I prefer the term Target Rich Environment"

towards the end of this video we see how ridiculous this game is, as a Tirpitz (one of the best armoured ships ever made) is being molested by an invisible destroyer. This is a problem because HE can set things on fire in this game just by hitting them(which is totally inaccurate to real life). so, in summary a Battleship is being heavily damaged by a 5 inch gun on a destroyer just because HE can set things on fire... BULLSHIT

Omg the lowe is nothing compared to the sheer number of tirpiz noobs running around

+The Mighty Jingles quick question. The text you used at 5:50, was that added in RU-vid after upload or before with your video editing software?

Yays! He got it work! Thumbs up Jingles. And I'm sorry my pilot keeps dropping my Leopard 2 on your car.

fun fact about the Yamato you might appreciate Jingles is that each turret on the Yamato weighs as much as a Fletcher Class Destroyer!

so, we have our wows version of the lowe (noobs buying high tier premium not knowing how to use it) where's our wows kv-2?

Wow, when people said the tirpitz was pretty much the lurve of WOW, they weren't kidding or exaggerating in any way.

What you take away from the video displaying the Battleship winner is how freaking annoying destroyers are when they are played like that. It`s freaking unbelievable the bullshit even the bad battleship captains have to deal with. The constant rain of fire looked like a rainbow!

I think the creators of WoWS have forgotten how smoke actually works. It's a purely defensive mechanism to buy you time to get the hell out of somewhere or to cover a maneuver. It's not remotely an offensive tactic as they have made it in their game. If I can't see you through smoke because you surrounded yourself in it, then you can't see me either. In fact, you shouldn't be able to see anything at all - both enemy and all friendly ships should disappear from your map screen (or at least only remain there until they turn or change speed). That's how it works. I know this game isn't meant to be TOO realistic....but when they completely ignore the laws of physics and reality then they've made something that is totally arcade and ridiculous, and they might as well go the whole hog and make the entire thing arcade. Stop pretending, or fix it.

I love how gentlemanly Tier X divers are in Wows. The chat alone and friendly conversing the players have show how mature they are. Not to mention how they can commit to something and respect others who have made the same choice. Can't wait to join them....

two things that you guys can see on this replay 1: destroyer invisible shooting 2: secondary not do shit this need be fix

Looking at this video in 2020. Jingles: It's just silly how much fire this ship can put out. Me: *laughs in grosser kurfurst and Kremlin*

+The Mighty Jingles Finally you give us battleship captains some sympathy. Thank you! And thank you for pointing out the accuracy of his secondaries would be a matter of shame even for stormtroopers. They're nigh useless, although I think it'd be neat if they allowed you to aim the secondaries as a way to differentiate BB game play from cruisers a bit more allowing them to switch from short range rapid fire to long range slow fire would go a long way towards making BBs unique to play. As well as buff the AA slightly because right now the carrier is the king of this game.

Not to mention IRL battleships usually had secondary batteries capable of a maximum range exceeding 15, sometimes even 20km. The maximum range of secondaries in WoWS is really around the real life optimal ranges of these guns, which suggests a far greater accuracy than we see in game. Personally I'd love a secondary battery range buff, but I'd also love to see them receive a player control option, not just the directed fire they have.

For being so huge, the Yamato's guns seem to be disturbingly accurate by battleship standards.

jingles i bearly got world of warships and i love it. you were one of the main reasons i got it so thanks for all your work.

Wow, that was some good cruiser play, some very superior destroyer play, and above average battleship play. I do see some problems after viewing all the winner categories. I won't go back and look, but it seems all the other categories that won did more damage than the Yamato Crustay was playing, or at the very least, the Yamato didn't outperform the other ships by very much. We can clearly see that 18.5" guns are not superior to the 127mm (I think) guns on a destroyer. The damage per minute on the Gearing had to be superior to all the other ships here in this game. Granted, it was being driven by arguably the best player in WoWs, but others will follow eventually. If you fear a destroyer more than a Yamato in a gun duel, Wargaming might need to go back and examine the base design of the game. I won't be stopping my play of WoWs, it is a rather fun game, and ship combat is just so bloody fun. Come on though, any destroyer hit by a Yamato shell if not ripped in two pieces, would feel a world of hurt from just one shell.

I'm sure it didn't help the MM that jingles announced a giveaway of premium ships for the most damage done, so everyone just getting the game wanting to win a ship run out and buy the only tier 8 BB in the store instead of trying to win in a tier 1

This video is a perfect example for illustrating why DDs are so overpowered and BBs are practically EXP pinatas for all the other ships. Glad I play for free while other people throw money at this foolishness. They do not deserve my money. I cannot wait to see how overpowered the NON-exsitent blue print Russian navy will be, especially if the Murmansk is anything to go by.

it's like a shell hose XD that part had me in tears. the amount of fire that this was putting outwas nothing short of insane XD

Hazah! Finally, some Yamato gameplay on Jingles channel!

Saw the Iowa class BB thumbnail so I got happy, then I see the Yamato as the BB winner. Jingles you and your damn false advertising!

Not sure if you meant it in a negative way at 4:26 but I think IJN BBs are supposed to sit in the back because they aren't blessed with good rudder shift times or good armor like USN BBs. Plus they have superior gun ranges so it's better to make use of it. The Yamato, however is like the only IJN BB to break this trend so it wouldn't make sense for him to be sitting in the back with a ship with a survivability rating of 100.

Thank you for presenting the vids Jingles. Also thank you for saying out loud what I have been saying on the forums for months now. BB secondaries needs to be improved. Most should have better range (at least 5km) and better accuracy as you said, to help them hit some more as well. See you around. PS: when BB player ask for buffs on the forums, they get told to "L2P" and utterly destroyed. I hope WG thinks more like you and not like the other posters heh.

Best quote of the whole thing, "Aircraft carriers are *not* overpowered, *your brain* is underpowered. 15 minutes later and I am still laughing. Thank you Rear Admiral J.

Tirpitz is the sister ship to the most iconic German warship, the battleship Bismarck vs the iconic battleship Yamato.

Jingles, as always you are hysterically funny making this game even more fun while I learn to play.

Actually Jingles, your thumbnail is the Iowa, while the ship in the replay is the Yamato. Jingles... Jingles?! *Bang*

Maybe its just me but I really like how all of the higher skilled players I've encountered are decent folks that Id buy a drink for. Its also amusing as hell that most of them have a sort of "I like you, I kill you last" mentality towards each other. One day, I hope to shed my proletariat skin and ascend to the upper ranks.

Would be great if you could do this every two months or so. I love the format, it's loads of fun watching it!

Just before the live game release, i played a match with Duffys on my team. We both were in destroyers and we held off 5 ships by ourself's. 4 battleships, and a cruiser. All were above Tier 8 and we won but not by torpedoes. We won with just our guns. That was the best match i ever had.

*Sigh...* AH YES... "World of Warships"... a gamey where captain of the destroyer can sunk a fifth times bigger than him battleship using deck guns... we have dismissed that claim. >:)

The annoying thing was, way back 7 years ago when I saw this replay, you could sail a destroyer and stealth fire your guns. So I patiently worked my way up the american destroyer line and I was so close, so close to achieving a ship that could stealth fire, and then they nerfed the American Destroyer line. Over night, completely negated any motivation to grind any further up the line. Ultimately it really put me off WOWs as a whole. Knowing they could just flip the game mechanics on a whim really put me off.

This chat was epic. Loved the banter

Hey Jingles, I have been a long term subscriber on my other RU-vid account. I have watched your content for years and I think it's fantastic. I have just created this RU-vid channel, and posted my first World of Warships video. I was just hoping to get some advice as to how I can improve my content. Thank you again for all the great content you have put out over the years, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Common theme in these winners: Grizzled veteran in tier 10 vs. 14 Derpitz. Bloodbath ensues.

I was about to study a bit when..... NEW JINGLES VIDEO

Just imagine if Duffey won the destroyer game with that game. Two winners in the same match that would be a achievement.

Is anyone else surprised that out of all the replay winners, only one was driving an American ship? Unbelievable the disparity in damage potential between the two nations.

Dear GODS! What lucky lucky MM!

I always come back and watch this video, to see the most infamous DD player fail to kill a Yamato in time. Good job Crustay! Even though it was a defeat.

The lesson I'm learning from these winning games is: you can win a most-damage contest as long as the MM is completely skewed.

Bad luck for Crustay having that DD player in enemy team but cg on winning the prize anyway, I was wondering how much dmg is a BB gonna have in comparison to cruiser category !

I gasmed 20 times cos of the yamato. pretty much once a minute. I love you jingles.

+1 Jingles on secondaries. And not just BB's. Everyone should get it. There's nothing worse than being in a cruiser and being forced by the need to protect something more important into a close range knife fight with a DD. Knowing that if he tries to close into unavoidable torp drop range he's going to get ripped up by the secondaries would be lovely, especially once you transition to the much slower firing 8" guns.

No one even tried to hit Duffy, at least from what I saw in the video. There were a few times where he was visible yet no one fired at him. Yes I get it, it's a small target, but you will never hit him if you never fire at him. Cool video.

Jingles! I don't know if you saw back to the future 2, but if you did, well you didn't see this. At the beginning, Marty and the doctor travel to the future, but that future is soon going to become present and then past. They travel to the 21 October 2015! That's tomorrow so I thought you'd like to know. By the way, 2015 is nothing like they predicted it in 1986 (I think it's 1986).

"Its like firing a fire truck at somebody"=best comment of the day! lol

Hats off to Crustay!!! I don't feel that the opposing team played with any cohesion or focus. If not for their amazing destroyer driver, the would have been a worse baby seal hunt than it was!!! Crustay's team communicated and focused their fire on every Tirpitz until they filled the bottom with them. The opposing team didn't get it's act together until the very very end. Crustay is a very savy Captain, but Duffys1 is the Ichi Ban Go Zu = "Number One Most Skillful." Jingles could you feature Duffys1 sometime, he is pure evil, like the fruit of the devil!!!!!! Your mate Sprog1 in AZ.

@The Mighty Jingles How to get that Crosshair? I have the Aslain mod but its not there.

Funny thing, I don't remember this battle... maybe because I sucked so bad in it. LOL. Great video. Jingles.

Thanks Jingles for showing us how the invisi-Destroyers and the 1.5 second warning massive torpedo drop Carrier BS is going strong. I'll stay away from this game for now, just playing a bit of PVE when I feel too lazy to play tanks.

Hi Jingles, love your work. You said you would have liked to have seen this battle from the perspective of the Gearing driven by Duffeys1 - well I think I've found it. If you look on You Tube under Flying Ross for "Epic Replay Episode 2 - Gearing Tier X Gameplay" you should be able to enjoy just how clever this guy really is. Keep up the good work, Alan C

When I see replays like this it honestly makes me ask this question: Why bother playing this game? The mechanics just appears to favour certain players over others, there's still a balance issue.

Actually, secondaries of 152mm or larger FIRE AP! So the Yamato's 155mm guns do fire AP! The 127s fire HE, and the largest secondary cannons that still use HE IIRC, are the 140mm guns.

And there we can see the broken Mechanics of HE. And the bastards will never fix it.

This guy is so good at analyseing the game

once again, great video, great commentation (spelling) just the most entertaining YT'er ive found. Didnt have as much time to watch this video so I had to watch it in 1.5x speed and still found it entertaining, especially when you laughed at 1.5x speed reminded me of a chipmunk. Well, to be fair anyone laughing at 1.5x speed would sound like that =)

Came here for a Yamato replay. Was not disappointed. xD

Why did no one launch their aircraft to spot the Gearing? Yes I know about the AA power, but Crusty had 8 planes.

how different is this game today lol, some changes for the better but a few for the worse too, brings back memories.

I remember coming across a player in a Yamato. I can't remember his/her name. I was in my hms warspite, just a naval enthusiast wanting to take the Iron Lady out to see her steaming along, and by that I mean a Noob. I did my best at the beginning, steamed north using her accurate fire to deal as much damage as possible, then noticed a New Mexico struggling against an Izumo point blank range. Steamed north to help, and to the ships credit it dealt some damage to the Izumo before it died. I steamed towards the Izumo unsupported, being shot by it before I could open up with my pitiful range(which annoys me considering the warspites supposed longest recorded moving hit at 21km) I got pummelled, but rather than shout and scream our Yamato changed course to help me, calmly advised me via chat to reduce my speed to 1/4 and head straight for the Izumo. Lo and behold it starts missing, I keep on shooting, and eventually the Yamato comes around the iceberg , crosses the t and opens its broadside

Watching this from two different points of view is cool. Both good players too.

the Tirpitz matchmaking hasn't been like this for over a mounth

RU-vid says 720p60 HD Screen says 480p at best. I'll come back later and try again.

Hey, Jingles, do you know the firepower of the Yamato? I heard somewhere that if she fired all nine guns on a single target with high explosive rounds, the explosion would be comparable to a small tactical nuke. I haven't been able to confirm this however.

For a moment I was looking at the gameplay and wondering since when did WoWs have such nice embers spraying off and raining down on burning ships. Then I realised that those were secondary shots... glorious rain of 155mm shells firing at 8km..

That destroyer looks so cute surrounded by battleships

If you notice, they have been buffing american destroyers too, at least at the lower teirs. Increasing the secondary battery accuracy would screw the low and medium teir american and russian destroyers who have to get to point of suicidal range to even launch torpedos.

why is that kind of firing allowed anyway? I mean that seems like a huge balance issue to me.

"Utter Bastard" hahaa I love some of your comment Jingles haha! :D

I was in my Atago, I wasn't paying attention then all of a sudden I get a kill notification and an alert that I have torps incoming portside stern. As I turn to avoid them, one of the enemy DDs in chat says, "good kill mate." At first I was confused, I was vaguely aware that my secondaries had been firing at something. Apparently when I wasn't paying attention, an destroyer had come up behind me in range of my secondaries. After he had dumped torps into the water, my secondaries apparently killed him. When I told him it was my secondaries, he laughed

Jingles secondaries 155mm or over actually fire AP While everything under fires HE

Battleships seem somewhat less than optimal in World of Warships. It may be historically accurate, but it's hardly fun to play around with slow-firing, wildly inaccurate, slow-moving, inadequately armored, less-than-amazing damage dealing ships while destroyers and torpedo squadrons ream you with impunity.

Yamato Tomato. Say it right, Jingles!

It's not only match making. I think that guns on American destroyers are a bit too OP. Also, about secondaries on Battleships, I don't even care if they are firing or not. If there's destroyer coming at me I immediately switch to HE with my main guns, cuz otherwise I am dead.

Jingles really cracks Jingles up...

Correct pronunciation is the second one, Jingles. :P Yah-mah-Toe

got I LOVE the Iowa so much, dodging torps like a master

Technically Jingles you pronounced Yamato correctly each time. In every country certain parts will pronounce a word slightly differently. The "official" "proper" pronunciation is Ya-Ma-To (yah-mah-toh). But seriously, you never said it wrong.

citadel hit counts as 1 hit...so if you get 5 hits and a citadel, you hit with 6 shells

why he didn't send his aircraft to spot destroyer ?!

+1 on secondary. This guy had 8.7% hits with his. I have 12% on mine as a whole. (Main battery is 31%.) I've sunk 0.99% of my kills with secondarys. (11 in 1 276 battles) And you kind of shake your head at it when a DD can go for 3 km while you secondarys give all they've got without results. Same for example the Cleveland. It's supposed to have 12 127 mm guns, that's three DDs. But no damage at all when the fire. Hanse77 (SWE)

Nice video as always. It would be fun to see the highest damages while being low tier.

Well that was a really nice commentary on duffeys1! :D ;)

BBs could do with a buff to secondary accuracy, but also a cooldown like defensive fire, but for destroyers, increasing the range and accuracy of secondary battery fire while increasing the torpedo dispersion of their target

There should have been a best Tirpitz category as well :) The mod that you can buy that buffs secondary battery repairs should have been accuracy buff instead.

Ah, the Gearing. My personal favorite ship. Simply POURS fire on to someone. Impossible to dodge, and the torpedoes don't suck.

Does Duffey have a RU-vid page? Can't seem to find anything under Duffey1. Would be nice to see how he plays as I can't seem to get the knack for American DDs.

22:15 Jingles, I think Wargaming watched this video, because that's what the new German Battleships are great for.

Jingles, will you make this an annual event? It has run so well.

5:50 Jingles, the Tirpitz that ran aground most likely did so trying to evade the spread of torpedoes that you literally just talked about. .... Um, Jingles? Oh no... *gunshot*

Give battleships an ability analogous to The defensive fire of cruisers except for their secondaries, maybe it trades accuracy for range or vice versa. Or... Have battleships receive anti torpedo nets that slow them down and take time to deploy...

I think jingles has the best laugh in the world. sub'd just for that.
