World of Warships - Isokaze Class Destroyer 

Hey man. You put so much work into your videos and as a relatively new sub I can already appreciate that. I really enjoy them and I just wanted to say keep up the awesome work

10:08 Dammit Jingles, now I'm picturing someone picking up a torpedo and slapping someone else with it :(

I just picture that submarine captain walking into a warehouse with the weapon chief and whacking his last torpedo on the tip with a mallet and making them all shit themselves thinking it will go off.

Thanks again Jingles. I just picked up the Isokaze and as usual, I hopped on RU-vid to get your take on my new ship before heading out to those treacherous seas. Your efforts to educate us all are much appreciated.

Dear Rear Admiral after watching this video I gotten handle of my own Isokaze and found out that she's very nice and deadly ship. I suppose many other people can learn many things from videos like that and its not only this video. Personally, you have many other videos what helped me (and surely not only me) in war games. Keep up brilliant job! Godspeed

You know, when I heard Jingles say that this Isokaze was an Isokaze-class destroyer, I was just about to rage at him, because the Isokaze I know is a Kagero-class destroyer. But Jingles always does his research when showcasing a ship, so I thought it was weird that he would somewhat be mistaken this time. So I did some research of my own. It turns out that the Isokaze in WoWs is indeed the Isokaze-class nameship, launched in 1916. The one I know was the Kagero-class Isokaze launched in 1939. Two different ships from different eras. Curiously, the 4 Isokaze-class destroyers also have their names on corresponding Kagero-class destroyers. Of course, when the Kagero-class was created, the Isokaze-class no longer existed - all 4 Isokaze-class destroyers were retired in 1936, where the first of the 19 Kagero-class destroyers was laid down in 1937. Pardon my ravings, carry on, nothing to see here.

Lol... Imagine the faces of the japanese crews of that oil tanker... " Dem yanks are firing potatoes at us."

Just imagine the thoughts of the Japanese oil tanker crew: "Aaahhh we're dead in the water! 14-odd torpedoes in bound! Man the lifeboats!" [Several seconds later] [Ding, ding... ding ding ding] "Take that Yankees! Our armor is impervious to American firepower!"

Jingles I'm tryin' to sleep here! *proceeds to watch video anyway

The Germans, btw, also had massive problems with torpedo reliability. Only about 50% of them detonated on impact. At some point a german submarine launched a spread of 3 torpedos at a british warship, none of them went off. Passenger on board of this ship was - Winston Churchill.

Clemson can point 6 guns on target and will when moving in curved lines even be able to fire the 8th.... I say that kinda increases DPM... always keep in mind the Clemsons turrets are double barrelled.

Jingles, that isolaze detected at 6.3km instead of 6.1km wasn't shhooting his guns, he was using his speed boost ability which makes your ship detectable from further away because of the increased amount of smoke coming out of your smoke stacks

Did Jingles forget that while the Clemson's guns are weaker, it has twice as many? (After the gun upgrade, of course.) In a gunfight between the two you're going to see the 'better' Isokaze going to the bottom quite quickly.

Yep, really appreciate the work you put into your videos. It helps the working day go a lot quicker some times. Was able to learn a few things on trying how not to suck badly in the game. Scored my first 4000+ XP game, Keep the videos coming. Love the work and thanks.

"And bang, they reset the cap" Wot jangles they missed you though? Jangles? *click* T-they missed you! *bang* You missed me!?

btw: the American submarine torpedo story. The sub returned with at least 2 torpedoes. The CO almost got in trouble for wasting all his other torpedoes on what was thought to be a decoy. The USN then conducted a firing test against a underwater rock formation with the remaining torpedoes. The first shot exploded ! The test was almost terminated, but wiser heads prevailed, and the second shot was launched and did not explode. Post test results found that the anti mining device on the warheads prevented detonation for a dead on hit, but not for a glancing blow. I lost the book which described this many years ago, but this much I do remember.

Jingles, that enemy Isokaze that got himself spotted beyond his own detection range wasn't firing the guns - he triggered his speed booster. Look at the sudden plume of thick, black smoke from his funnels. It's an undocumented effect that Wargaming apparently didn't think they should tell us about, but that booster actually makes you visible at something like 10% to 15% longer range.

"I'm surprised more people aren't raving about the Isokaze at tier 5." jingles that must be a typo. the Isokaze is tier 4 not 5 :-)

I remember reading about the defective American torpedoes in WWII some time ago. If I recall correctly, the issue turned out to be that the nose of the torpedo would collapse on impact, which crushed the detonator before it could fire. So until they worked that out, American crews had to aim their torps so they'd hit the target on an angle, instead of head on, in order to get the desired explosion. On the bright side, the real destroyers' engines didn't get knocked out every time an enemy shell came within half a click of them.

That Jim carrey clip was a classic! Its so true though. Battleship drivers certainly make it easy for destroyers. When you do eventually come up against a battleship driver who knows what the rudder is. It makes it decidedly harder for destroyers.

Isokaze: Surface det. range is 6.1 -- max torp range 7.0 Minekaze: Surface det. range is 5.9 -- max torp range 10.0 There's just more room to maneuver with the Minekaze, it's fantastic.

Hey Jingles remember how you went on about the Isokazes guns compared to the Clemsons. The Clemesons guns might have been a little better just by looking at the stats but you are forgetting that the Clemson gets and upgrade that adds a barrel to each gun effectivly doubling its firepower. The Clemsons guns are therefore way better than the Isokazes

The Mighty Jingles 35:00 The other Isokaze was spotted at 6.3km because he was likely using his boost. It actually pushes your detection out by 0.2km while it is in use. If he fired guns, we'd see the shells and the detection is pushed out somewhere around 4 extra km. This is important in the later tiers where the slower DDs are hard pressed to outrun cruisers. Hitting the boost just means you have to get that much farther away to be safe.

Jingles is secretly the biggest troll of all. His videos are so long that if you don't enjoy them, your life is over anyway, and you die from old age. He then proceeds to cackle at your misfortune of running into jingles. this is why I love your videos jingles

In my opinion the isokaze is just as good as the minekaze it just have better specs elsewhere than the minekaze

Jingles, I did the same for the first time just 2 days ago. But, I did it at 500feet range. same area same map. I was so careful to hit him, as a friendly dd was aground behind him. I jump for joy as 6 trops hit the cruiser. The ' YOU KILLED as friendly cruiser!" I was like..............wow.

Jingles, when you said the friendly BB near the end of the first game was "miles away from anything" he was actually engaging the enemy wyoming

Another entertaining video Jingles! Keep up the awesome work~ *gives Jingles some cookies* But, I disagree with you about those torpedos and that DD you accidentally sunk... Yes, torpedo equipped ships need to be aware of where friendlies are BEFORE they shoot, but after that, it's up to everyone else on their team to not DRIVE INTO said torpedos targeting track. Everyone, friendly and enemy, gets a warning on their HUD for any torpedos near them. If people would actually pay attention to their HUD, and the "ding ding" sonar sound, there would be far less "friendly fire" torpedo incidents. Beside that Jingles, you managed to make me laugh again~ I can't wait for your next video...

It does suck when you torp a friendly. I've done it once as well, then I started checking my firing archs. Thanks for sharing jingles

It was pointed out to me that one thing in the Clemson's favour is that it gets twin guns in the turrets, giving it more guns, so more dakka. Great vid as always though. :)

Jingles one thing you overlooked in this is that once the Clemson is upgraded, it has twice the number of guns of the Isokaze. Even though the stats are similar it really stands no chance against a clemson in a 1v1 fight.

I hope more players take note of your friendly kill and learn to look before they fire. The number if times I've seen it happen or I've taken damage as I try to avoid friendly torpedoes is unbelievable.

I wonder what jingles has to say about the fact that "the germanz are comming!" in October, while the Royal Navy will not come before 2016.

Oh but Jingles, the Clemson with those dual guns for each turret shred the isokaze in a one on one :)

Isokaze is an amazing ship, had a good time playing it. Now at the Mutsuki (stock). Had an amazing game in the Isokaze, 18 torp hits & 6 kills, of which 5 kills on 19 (!) HP left x)

The Isokaze made me fall in love with the Japanese destroyer line. Am levelling that and the American cruiser line.

I'm just waiting for the Jingles Breeding program to start over here.

14:00 the New York WAS firing his main batteries as well Jingles. Look at the way the shells fire in pairs, and he did broadside fire at you too! P.S. I disagree with the TK being your fault, allied ships CAN see your torps anywhere in their view range! If he was in a BB then I can understand due to lack of maneuverability, but he was in a DD!

Thank you Jingles hihi VIP personel from yesterdays Rita stream got ahead on the video :D

Jingle's My uncle Roy is a torpedo man aboard USS Argonaut. One of those bad torpedoes cause the loss of Argonaut with all hands. 106 men. She was sunk by 3 IJN destroyers. Jan 10 1943 s

Torp discipline is much needed in WoWs right now with all the premium drivers out there. I can't tell you how many times I've had to slam on the brakes or maneuver hard because a friendly Atago decided to launch at a target at 10+km away.

Firing around headlands with turn and burn tactics are my fav for DDs. Gives the target no time to maneuver.

It's okay Jingles. I did it in one of my first games in the Phoenix class cruiser. Launched torps at a battleship hit him, some missed and ahead another Phoenix decided it was a good idea to turn left.....

I had fun in the Isokaze, certainly I do enjoy the Minekaze though. There is one thing to keep in mind, when you have a 6.1km detection range AND you equip the -3% detection camo, your going to be detected under 6km. I've had some very NARROW moments sneaking around the map. Being the last one on the team vs 4 enemies and winning some.

There were a lot of problems with American torpedoes in WWII, but the not detonating problem was due to too fine tolerances in the exploder. You had to hit the hull at 90 degrees to explode; an oblique hit would jam the exploder.

Loved the Isokaze, had some really awesome games in mine.

The last game perfectly highlighted the need of an engine health buff on destroyers.

Dear Jingles, the main problem with Carrier drivers is that they think "hiding in the obvious spot behind the one island" is a good thing to do.

Actually Jingles the New York still screwed up badly, the last thing you want to do is turn towards a destroyer in a battleship as it reduces the amount of time you have to deal with the problem by a third or more. If you turn away it still reduces the destroyers chances of hitting you with enough torps to kill you and it also buys you time to maneuver in response to his attacks, reload your guns and let your secondaries work him over. Turning towards him is just like going, "oh hey there Mr destroyer I don't know why you opened up on me with your guns outside of torp range but let me just help you fix that problem by letting you close with me even faster."

Know that many look forward to your World of War Ships videos. You mentioned doing a video on the Nagato. That would be appreciated ! BTW, Atlanta just may be a better AA escort than Cleveland. I killed 35 planes with my Atlanta while escorting 2 of "our" CV's. May even have a screen shot of that.

I actually had some monster games in the Isokaze while I was making a bee line to the Minekaze. It's a great little DD, and there's nothing more satisfying than bagging BB after BB because they're too dumb to dodge torpedoes. It's a shame I didn't know how to record replays before, because some of my games have been similar to this in kills... perhaps not style though, which makes all the difference when Overlord Jingles picks them.

The Mighty Jingles Here's what I do, if I launch torps with friendlies are in my vicinity: I simply write "torps out!" in chat, to alert the others that I've launched torps. It usually helps, and has in one situation avoided somebody running into my torps, and me teamkilling him. Alerted by my message he looked around and turned well in advance.

Don't forget that the Clemson has two barrels per gun turret! That gives it favourable firepower, especially against DDs. The Clemson, to me, is the ultimate anti-Kaze.

Well, about the New York Battleship in the first replay just shows you: Cruisers don't leave Battleships at their own fate! I see it over and over again, even in games were Battleships-drivers don't sail in strait lines that before they can come into action they allready lost a lot of heath due to torpedoes.

Minekaze has the same torps as Isokaze, but what it really have is speed - it can close faster, react fast to changes and escape any enemy, while Isokaze move slower than some cruisers :(

If you play War in the Pacific, the first two years of the game involve watching your US submarines' torpedoes bounce harmlessly off of valuable tankers and aircraft carriers over and over and over . . . They get a 90% dud rate until something like 1943. I'm VERY glad WoWS doesn't simulate that aspect of the war.

Hiya Jingles, I am a player that almost only plays IJN DD and I do agree on your tk. In fact I think as a DD captain, IF you tk, even if it is not your fault (sometimes it really isn't) it is "always your fault and you say sorry" . I do like the iso, besides the mine it is my most played DD. This MIGHT change when I get the Kami (kind of counting on me getting one with the 260 pearls) but for now, Iso and Minekaze rock. Love the replays. Have used your videos a lot as reference and learning material so many thanks for all your uploads :)

I am really happy right now. I have played WoT since mid 2012, and I HATED it after I got to tier 4... because I had no idea what gun penetration or alpha damage was, same with angling a tank. Winter of 2013 I started watching jingles videos, and I watched a lot. I learned a lot too. Still had never spent money on the game however. I soon got to tier 5 in the german medium Pz 3/4 and the KV-1. Here I got my first top gun, scoring 7 kills by facing down a T49 TD and a full health StuG with 300 HP left in my KV-1. I only won because jingles taught me how to angle my tank and best use my gun. 2014, I join my first clan, MGJC on the NA servers. I play with them all the way to tier 8, which I achieve with the IS-3 in February of this year. Same with getting to tier 7 with the VK-3002 (D) (not as good as the 3001). I had never spent a single penny on WoT, yet I had almost 600 gold, 17 garage slots, and so many premium consumables I thought I was playing an RPG. Just earlier today I decided that since WoT had given me well over 400 hours of continuous fun, I bought a Premium tank, the tier 7 SU-122-44. So thank you jingles, if it wasn't for you, I would never have given this game another thought. Thank you for giving my the game that I keep coming back to again and again, War Thunder, with such imbalance was impossible. But in WoT, I know that if I die, I fucked up. It's not because my P-51 was fighting MIGs.Thanks. (shoutout to quickybaby too!)

Great video, My experience has been different, I played all day with 100 percent defeats and 100 percent deaths, well I felt better as I was was not the only one who was in the same boat..

My first team kill with torps was my very first game in the closed beta with 2 of my friends in the sims... We were in an arrow head formation loving life. Enemy spotted. Torpedos out straight into my friend to my left. GG :D

That XO_superior in the 2nd match was pretty incredible!

It's actually getting harder to hit ships with torpedoes. World of Warships players are learning (mind boggling right?).

Converts FreeXP from Premium ship: - *"Easy when you know how"* I think you mispronounced: - *"Easy when you pay now"*

That destroyer looks like he's going to eat a torpedo or two... No, no, he's managed to maneuver, it looks like he's going to be ok. Jingles: the Murray Walker of World of Warships :)

It's nice to see even Jingles makes these honest mistakes with hitting a teammate with torpedoes, it only takes making the mistake once, to make extra sure you don't make it again, GOD knows I've done that before.

To be fair, the Clemson has 4 twin turrets when upgraded

Don't feel too bad Jingles, I just recently got team-killed by a destroyer all the way up at tier 8.

Isokaze and Minekaze are two of my favorites.

i rebought the isokaze to help me with the pearl event and it seems so more powerful than i remember

Did that guy that Jingles team killed in the first replay really text ""tis but a scratch". A Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference in WOW. Life is good...

Wow, that first match, fantastic game... spoiled by that unfortunate incident :/ Nothing makes me feel worse than when I pull a blue-on-blue boneheaded move like that.

Just wanted to remind you that you are almost to 150 mil views! Congrats!

Jingles, are you watching the TV show "The Last Ship"? It's a post apocalyptic show based on a book from the 80's that I own but never got round to reading. It is pretty good, and given your love of the Navy, I think you'll enjoy it immensely. Kind regards, Amy.

I'm of the opinion, with regards to this map that going straight for B is a suicide run, particularly in a Japanese destroyer. At the least it's a sudden death scenario, with two destroyers dropping torps in the water at each other as fast as possible. Everytime I've gone in that way, I've gone back to port within the first five minutes of battle

The japanese DD guns aren't really bad, you just have to work around them. The main thing is they have an AWFUL turn rate, so let's say you've spotted a US DD, what you do is fire your torps in a bracket (one set in front, one dead on target, the other behind) then you fire your guns, turn into him to dodge his return fire, than turn back fire another volley and run away until you're no longer spotted, rinse and repeat.

ACTUALLY Jingles, they're part of the Kagerou-class destroyers and they did par-take in WW2 operations after refits to suite the operation. Operation Ten-Go being one of them, as well as a few others. There's 19 of them in total, one of which was in service until the 1970s (surrendered to the Taiwanese after WW2)

Earned 1900 xp in the Isokaze once, its a fantastic DD, more enjoyable than the Clemson!

Who needs to go to sleep when there's Jingles.

Lol. At 26:30 you can hear Ritas cat asking for back scratches

We Germans had also huuuge problems with our Torpedos in the beginning of the War. Especially during "Weserübung".

26:30 Jingles! The cat wants your attention!

Reminds me of the Bugs Bunny episode where he joins the army and gets an assignment hitting artillery shells on the tip with a mallet. When it doesn’t explode he writes “ Dud” on the side.

"The Clemson is a good ship, but the Isokaze is better." This seems to be a running theme with most US ships versus their IJN counterparts.

I think that Destroyers will be favorite class once I get my hands on this game.

The amount of credits you have is killing my OCD... 123,457 O_o

Jingles, you didn't mention that the clemson have dual gunturrets when upgraded, That which concludes that you have only counted half of the ships firepower.

Those US torpedoes you mentioned that sucked and wouldn't work, I have another story about them. While I may be misinformed, but I recall hearing a story where prior to WWII, the US Navy tested these brand-new high-tech torps. They test fired them exactly twice (not 2 sessions, but 2 total torpedoes). One of them failed to detonate. These are the torpedoes the US Navy went into WWII with - a torpedo that failed 50% of the time when tested.

The reason everyone complains about the Minekaze is because of how quickly its torpedoes reload. It's like the St. Louis except it spams torpedoes.

Love my Isokaze, it's my favorite free xp machine.

The story about the tanker in the beginning of the video was great xD Could you post some sources of the information you present in your videos? World of Warships got me interested in WW2 naval fighting and I am looking for good books on the topic. Could you oh mighty Overlord suggest some good ones? Or maybe someone in the comments could too? Cheers!

Jingles, you're forgetting that the Clemsons' guns are twin-barreled. The Clemson literally has twice the guns, the Isokaze doesn't even come close.

Talking about bad American torpedoes there was incidence where Mark 14 torpedoes would circle back around and strike the boat firing it. this happened to both the Tullibee and Sargo.

Clemson 4 double barreled 102 mm guns that reload something like 2 times faster then Isokaze 4 single barreled 120 mm guns which also have terrible shell velocity will still do its job a lot better.

I feel like Jingles attended a memorial service for the crewmen of that destroyer he teamkilled

26:28 Now I know there aren't real ammo worries in warships, but it still bugs the shit out of me when I see destroyers spamming their torpedoes when they'll clearly hit nothing because of range.

I really do miss the old Isokaze :(

"They're not going to get any help from their friendly battle ship." Well, considering the fact that said battlehsip is busy with the important matter of sinking and have been for about 30 seconds at that point...I'm not surprised.

That awkward moment when you learn more watching Jingles then in school...

I want to point to the fact that those torps are the second fastest ones in the game. Only Senjo/Zao has torps that are faster and it is tier 10. Even in Minekaze I use those torps which are stock. Slow torpedoes can be dodged so much easier, so between Izo and Mine, Isokaze would be more powerful for it's tier simply because it has torpedo speed which no other torps can compare to. Still we all choose Minekaze for the speed which the Izokaze sorely lacks.

at 34:57 the enemy isokaze did not shoot, he had his engine boost activated which increases the detection range.
