World of Warships - Of Secondary Importance 

Oh, it's just a German Battleship. Its main guns can't hit me! I can show as much broadside as I want! Wait... where'd my healthbar go?

I am a simple man. I see a secondary speced Kurfurst, I watch it

I love my Großer Kurfürst, especially when Wargaming give me a mission to get 500 secondary hits and I think to myself two battles max :)

When I sail my own fully secondary specced Kurfurst, I feel like I have an extra cruiser strapped to each side.

If he survived to finish off that Minotaur I think I would’ve ruined my pants

Not even a week into 2019 and I have been given two hilarious WoWs videos already. Had to wipe the coffee off the screen twice, laughed my ass off twice. And again, I don't play WoT nor WoWs (the latter at least sometimes), but this is why i subbed Jingles. To me, there is nothing more entertaining on TV nor on youtube. The selection of gameplays combined with the hilarious commentary makes this all worth while.

Ahem: Actually Jingles, the Izumo burns just as much as it used to. It doesn't MELT under HE spam, due to the increase in deck armor... Jingles? Jingles?! Please, no, I'm so sorry, I take it back, please, not the fa-

As a fellow Kurfurst driver, I tip my hat to you JDog, that's one *hell* of an impressive match.

Ooooh that´s hot! (The best i´ve seen is 4 close quarters in a Bismark with them getting a Kraken)

13:00 So long and thanks for all the fish. So sad that it should come to this. We tried to warn you all but, oh dear! You may not share our intellect. Which might explain your disrespect. For all the broadside that you chose to sho-ow! So long, so long - and thanks, for all the damage!

I love the German BB... See why.. I do... The Germans BB are NOT for the Campers..

The GK is my favorite boat in the game. I play it every day, even if I'm only playing 2-3 games. It is an absolute monster, and so many people try to dump on it because "lol German meme dispersion." Those people tend to forget that you don't need to fire that far with the main battery. Not to mention, by being in close, not only are you slugging the enemy with main guns and spraying secondary damage all over... you are also a prime target for the enemy. If you use your huge HP pool and movement/angling well, you can tank like an absolute boss for your team. I play likely the exact same build with Adrenaline Rush - the ship does its best work after rolling in, taking a beating, and then dipping out for a bit. If they don't take you down right away, they will pay dearly. Remember, though: Secondaries. Are. Secondary. Don't put yourself in a bad position just because you want to use them.

*muffled angry tears of unicums who run survivability build*

About the Friedrich der Große, apparently there is a resource in the game called 'Free xp', which can be used to skip ships you don't want to grind through

Fredrich the Great has been recently buffed you know, Jingles? I kept it since it was the first battleship that gave me more than 200 k dmg with a good game featuring next to 600 hits with secondaries. About Kurfurst my best secondaries result is four kills out of nine thanks to a cyclone out of 230 k ish damage.

I didn't get a Kraken, but a while back I did get a four close-quarter kill game in a Mikasa. Best battleship in the game, that!

The Kurfürst is the second most played BB of them all on EU right after the Yamato. It even beats the Montana by Battles played, even though the Montana was in the game long before the Kurfürst.

I have one single kill with the Yubari secondary battery to my name. :D I'm very proud.

That was bloody inspired use of a secondary build. Really big congrats to Jdogmaster!

Nice. And awesome seeing you on Maxwell's WoWS's stream tonight for the regular Friday night Beers and Boats stream.

The fat freddy is actually pretty good now, more like a proto-kurfurst than a bloated, arthritic Bismarck. Oddly enough, the Kurfurst can also be very effective at extreme range. After a quick show of hands, it was revealed in my clan that the longest dev strikes they have got have all been in the Kurfurst. Get the Kurfurst Jingles, it's probably the most fun ship in the game.

I've ran this setup or very close to it for the past 2 years on my kurfurst, it's a very strong ship in the right hands.

That North Carolina was NUDE!

Eyyy i loved the F the great. Its an upscaled bismarck with more HP and a longer hydro. I had no issue with it.

As a HUGE fan of German secondaries, I absolutely LOVED this video Jingles! Thank you for putting this out there!

13:00 "It was at this moment, he knew he had fucked up 14:06 "We are the champions, my friend..."

Been grinding out cruiser lines today... That Cleveland double cit makes me wince now.

Some of us respect the Massachsetts secondary, as we should, or any of the few top secondary ships ,still: Jdawgmasta has built themselves a beast.

Live in the USA so days I have off of work, I can wake up and watch a Jingles episode, must've worked in the salt mines for years without remembering it in order to deserve this

Great vid, thanks Jdawg and Jingles. Well back to the Prinz Eitel Freidrich directives grind

13:40 Paddlin Jingles needs to be part of your special captain (also, he should say enemy cruiser sunk!)

Love it. Thank you to all the players. Thanks Jingles

I think Gneisenau video by jingles had 5 close quarter kills but certainly not such damage numbers... Positioning of battleship was such key factor in staying alive

The GKF is such a lovely ship and more than worth the struggle going through the Fat Fred.

Whoever came up with that paddling doodle, awesome work! haha

Now watching that was a real lesson. thanks to both of you for this video.

One of the best examples of playing to the strengths of a ship I've ever seen.

And now, because of Jingles, next 1000 games, we'll all see 100% GKF AA build

i was about to start playing kancolle to try and clear the event and then u uploaded my overlord.. guess i shall watch this first XD

Crazy games like that is what makes me keep going back to WoWS...all of the amazing "did that just happen" moments you get in that game, both amazing, and super face-palm.

Mino comes out, gives Broadside... Good old classic *OOF*

This is seriously the single most amazing World of Warships game I have EVER seen played!

Happy New Year Master............good to have you back.

Respecced my captain on the GK and had a go with an all out secondaries build and had a blast! Didnt get a match as good as above but got 3 kills and 205k dmg. :)

holy jesus, that was amazing :D his last words "lol i'm out" XDDD

German BB guns are very precise. Got 3 citadells on a DeMoin in my Bismarck yesterday. At 17km range. This guy really pissed the RNG God off.

Earl the Viking really like this long boat

Ha! When you asked how much damage his secondaries did I guessed 130k. With the fires I'm only 6k off. That's closer than those 11km secondary kills.

The funny thing is in the movie Battleship, Missouri only uses main batteries

Sure, he didnt take the Minotaur out with him, but by George, he gave him a hell of a whoopin.

I saw the title and the start of the video and thought is he gonna get all his kill with secondaries, but I never expected that to be true

Wows legends Otto Cilliax players been doing this with Bismarck for years, keep up jingles!

I open RU-vid and I see the beautiful Kurfürst in the thumbnail and I see that jingles made the video. I don’t hesitate.

That was a good one. Though it certainly helps the enemy kept bending over for a paddling. D.

You are the David Attenborough of World of Warships. Bravo!

Jingles I think my favorite thing about you is that you are humble. You make fun of everyone to include yourself which I find hilarious.

Actually Jingles, that Jean Pierre you mentioned wasn't a Jean Pierre, it was an Alsace..... ..jingles?

Due to the improved AP pen angles of the des Moines, he could actually deal a ton of damage with AP, though penetrating the belt isn't that easy

As someone that uses cruisers a lot I felt those 9:14 Cleveland citadels

Thanks for this video Jingles. I learnt a lot

Poor Tier VIII. His first three targets are ALL tier VIII Amagi, Kagero, North Carolina. War Gaming please fix mm for tier VIII. Oh and just noticed the Cleveland too ;)

I can tell you why the Des was firing AP at the GK. It's combination of the fact that USN heavy cruisers have improved autobounce angles (USN CA AP starts ricocheting at 30 deg) and that USN T8+ heavy cruisers get access to the super heavy shell, allowing him to easily go through the upper belt of the GK for and excess amount of full penetrations and the Des is able to get away with this until the GK was at less than a 22.5 deg angle. Fortunately for the GK player, and unfortunately for the Des player, the player in the Des could not aim. If he could aim, this video should have been over at 11:40. (more reading on autobounce angles here: wiki.wargaming.net/en/Ship:Gunnery_%26_Armor_Penetration#Armor-Piercing)

Many thanks for the modstation link.

Ahoy, Mate. As a GK owner --- 1. The "spoiler" started with your title. 2. I passed over tier iX with my Free XP. Note: But, then, I have over 7 Million ship XP in the bank so a few dollars out of my retirement slush fund was a very convenient way to get to tier 10 ---- (as well as my cherished Missouri). Good hunting. ScorpidBlackDragon

I just unlocked the Kurfurst. I love it. I have always been a fan of german bb secondary. with IFHE I have gotten cits against dd and cruisers with my secondary guns its a trip this was my first ever tier X ship I unlocked. Almost got the mino as well

Thank you Jingles, now we have 2 weeks of secondary Kurfursts charging in and burning to death within first 5 minutes.

THIS VIDEO MADE ME UPDATE AND PLAY AGAIN.

Best if ever seen was a secondary kill on a Freidrich der Grosse with my Haida - one secondary hit and the kill was me :)

I had thought "Hmmm, a kraken that Jingles has never seen before. Hmmm, it's a Großer Kurfürst, that appears to be secondary specced. Hmmm....."

The tier 9 German BB actually us really fun, now that it's buffed. The secondary batteries are also just as insane.

A great day. A New jingles video! YAY!!!

That cleveland on the enemy team reminds me of all the Derpitz players on WoWSL

This replay was epic! Love the secondary action but also MONSTROUS damage from the main batteries! After all that's why people keep grinding away with battleships, for the rare game like this when you make all the right decisions and the enemy make all the wrong decisions it all becomes worth it.

As some that has been playing since the beta test I have never seen something that impressive

2022, just watched another 5 secondary kill game by jingles.

Well, i got an doublestrike kill with secondaries. But thats unbelievable. Well played!

I've done this once with the Repub but I don't use manual secondarys so my guns were popping off on both sides and catching peeps by surprise.

As a WoWs player who primarily plays Cruisers and Destroyers, I have the Grober Kurfurst and it is fun to play. But I enjoyed playing the Friedrich der Grobe, it was a much better grinding the FdG than it was grinding through the Bismarck. Also WG recently buffed the FdG so there is that.

2 bloody ship game videos in 2 days, praise our gnome overlord!

I don't know why so much hate against the FDG. With a full secondaries build the range can go up to 11.5 km, not so far from the "otherworldly" 11.6 km of the GK's secondaries (by the way, Bismarck's can get up to 11.3 km), and the damage itself is also good (also the skill "beginner firing training" isn't as useful as it seems. Yes it reduce the reload time, but often by 0.3, 0.5 seconds only); The armor is good and conveniently distributed (unlike some BB's that have all its armor in the belt) and with Hull B it has amazing HP. With this you can go bow-in in most situations, even if the enemy do overmatch you your HP pool is so large that can hold itself until brawling range, where the turtleback and amazing secondaries do their job. The buff WAS significative, as now the 406 mm guns w/ reload upgrade have 22 sec reload time WITHOUT adrenaline rush, and CAN GIVE A PUNCH even at great distances. Yes her maneuverability is bad, but it can become acceptable with the steering modification 2 and Hull B; yes the firing angles are inconvenient, the guns are inaccurate, the concealment is bad... But Maybe that give a hint on how to play this ship: GET. CLOSER. Use islands and cover, use your not-bad speed, play agressive, play smart. I rushed bow-in against a musashi today, brawled and killed her. That's something that only high tier German BBs can do. All I said is true for every high tier German BB, people often stick to idiotic beliefs without seeing the numbers themselves.

Aaaaand after the Leander we're back to top-tier ownage

Luck and skills combined = an epic battle...thnx for sharing!

"heal"😂 i love noobs giving the guy who hardcarry them advise.

I love doing that with tirpitz, + bonus with 6km torps :P

Jingles: "... But it's the way he gets the Kraken Unleashed. It's something I have never seen happen before. " Me: "What, is he going to get all the kills with his secondaries or something?" *Gets all the kills with secondaries* Me: "Huh. I'll go buy a lottery ticket."

Hey, Jingles, Claus Kellerman is now on the NA server in Wows

I have the Frederick the great now, only tier nine battleship. It’s OK but definitely not very good. Glad to know I’m not the only one that thought that and it is going to get better.

well that was one of the best replays you ever featured...

Awesome play.... that Montana 🤣

I love my Großer K. its a shame that jingles hasn't gotten one yet

I'm always imagining you saying, "You bastard!!" when an opponent does some goofy shit like bait you into their teammates torpedo trap.

I remember one game where I had to afk at the start of a battle so I auto pilot my ship to the middle of a cap. When I came back I had gotten 40k damage and a capture and placed 5th on the team

Got my second Kraken ever with my Massachusetts. 3 of the 5 were Close quarters

oh Jingles you just make me want to play my Kurfurst again XD

I'm actually surprised by the penetration the Alsace guns have, even angled it was taking 8k chunks off the GK.

I am working on the German BB line and have concentrated on secondaries skills because German secondaries, as this video shows, can be scary as hell.

I prefer this much more interesting game than flambass replays. We can watch flambass on his channel let's see something different here.

JDawg. This has got to be short for Junkyard Dawg.

I get the feeling this was full secondaries + IFHE

I wish I had that kind of matchmaking with my secondary build Kurfürst
