First video in years hahaha, forgive me if anything isn't perfect :D Looking forward to reading your comments!

Welcome back, dude. I really liked how everyone in chat saluted you at the beginning lol. I can't wait for your boat talk streams on Twitch!

Welcome back. Must say that your guides back in the days were very much appreciated, and was what I used to learn the game mechanics and various ships. Far better than the guides WG put out.

It was nice getting to hear your voice again! Glad everything is going well for you, hopefully I can see you around on the NA server sometime.

I cry. Still remember asking you about how to play my first tier 10 Midway when I found your stream a few years ago

I agree on the guide videos, welcome back and congratulations on your accomplishments.

Dang...just cool to hear from you! Glad you're "real" life is going and growing well. Still here for ya...

welcome back iChase - I will be fascinated to see your take on various aspects of naval architecture

one outta 30: or my current WR? Greetings and congratulations iChase, it's always nice to hear from a old friend/acquaintance. I made a living for decades as a designer for quite a while, a lot of it on CAD. I just saw the new Spanish cruisers and think they look Gaudi? Looking forward to to updated series, especially How to Play Cruisers nowadays.

I hate to say I thought Covid took you out . I, glad your back. Your guides made me way better in the day . I’m glad to know that you were just studying and not dead. I look forward to more Content now.

Good breakdown of the match. Congrats on your achievement, helluva first step. I never unsub'd hoping you'd come back, thanks, looking forward to your new approach to content.

YES. Please give us more detailed info on ships and the industry. Im becoming a patron just for that.

Welcome home ichase, glad your back!! I am looking forwaed to the new vids you mentioned about making (updated how to's). Even though the 'how to play" videos you've already done are excelent, some are outdated. But weather you get around to making more now or not welcome back to the game.....

Miss you so much, always love your contents, and I’m all for the move towards more technical detail about ships and naval things.

I'm glad that you're including material on real-life ship design. I like the subject and have several of Norman Friedman's books. And I play WoWS a lot. Looking forward to your return to KZfaq.

The guy I learned from on how to play WOWS. Great to see that you're back hope to see you out on the sea soon

Grats on the graduation! Welcome back, I am still having loads of fun.

welcome back and honestly it was liberating since walking away from Wows and went back to try finish up the 1000 outstanding archivements in payday 2 :d

I've been a co-op-main for about three years now and no regrets so far. Will be tryin' Assymetric battle.

Welcome back, iChase. Your channel was the 1st one I got into for WoWs.

The king has returned, good to see you once again!

Hey Chase, would be cool to know more about your boat building and engineering knowledge!

less gooooo, nice on completing it, I just finished my A levels in the UK so about to head to UNI. I hope it will be fun

Welcome back Ichase, good to see you uploading again.

Hell yeah. It's good to have you back. Things went a little crazy around here in the last few years. I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to listening to you explaining ship design and flaws. I live for stuff like that. I'm an engineer (material science) but I have no clue about ships. And I love getting stuff explained and realising some of the principal challenges and how to overcome them. The Z not being able to reset the Mino probably wasn't all RNG. We still got the aiming bug where a lot of shell land short - especially near islands. It's super frustrating if you're in a situation were it really matters (like, you know, resetting a cap) and you can't get the damn ship to shoot where you actually aim. It's also frustrating that WG won't even consider implementing the most basic fixes for a lot of problems the game currently has: Like stopping carriers from spotting for the team (or at least reduce it to minimap-spotting as it is during a typhoon). Or actually making AA shoot something down instead of evenly spreading the damage over all planes in a flight. You could also go back to the mechanic were the spread of the attack was increased if you managed to go over a certain threshold of damage for a squadron. It would mitigate some of the damage of Nakhimov etc. And make subs slower. I can't even wrap my head around the idea we actually need to say this but going 40+ kts in a sub is the stupidest thing WG ever came up with. The whole sub spotting mechanic is also a joke: No proxy spot and hydro only spots them 2km away? You can hydro torps 4km away but the thing sending those torps is invisible?!? It just doesn't make any sense game-mechanic wise. All those solutions are right there. Instead they gave subs a 50% XP boost compared to any other class of ships so that even the worst player can feel like a king if he does 20k dmg and 30k spot. It's such a joke...

totally right on the lack of guide videos, it’s actually how i found you originally :) i don’t play atm but i might hop back in because of you!

oh my god return of chase! also only real naval game out there? you should try battlestations pacific, its old but it will be partially familiar to wows players and is still a decently novel game

Welcome back. I still recommend your How to Get Good series to newbies.

Glad to know you're doing good. Good luck in school. Maybe one day you'll be showing us architectural designs of ships on here.

Really nice to have you back. Congrads on your undergraduate degree.

Oh no...while I was doing engineering iChase became an architect..nooooooo. Welcome back, great to see the content again. Good luck ahead.

IChase - Welcome back and Congratulations! I am looking forward to watching any of your content! I think your idea about naval design videos is a good one - Again, welcome back my friend!

It's awesome to see you again dude. Big hype.

Your guides are why i manged to get to the mid 50s in winrate probably, because i then finally actually understood some game mechanics. They do have some decent ones themselfes now, but youre still the original Guide dude. If you could do it again, more modern and with up to date info...that would be amazing. But also a crapton of work that might not be worth it ?

Glad to have you back!

I would definitely watch technical videos on ship building:))

I loved your videos back intheday good to see you back

This was an awesome game. I'm glad we managed to carry it, and it was the most fun we had in years.

GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK!!!

WB iChase, glad school is going well too. RL > WOWs but like the others have said, good to have you back! o7

Good to see you back. Personally, I hang around Tier VII or so. All the new gimmicks are just too annoying at high tiers, plus the economics of the game. A lot of experienced players in the mid tiers. Resistance is futile, but as long as I can figure out a way to enjoy the game I still play it.

great having you back again!!!!!

So good to see you here mate :)

LCS_Little Crappy Ships. A great idea, but the individual modules like the ASW and Mine Sweeping modules never arrived, rendering the ships useless. I would love to hear your opinion on the new Constellation class frigates.

How I've missed the dulcet tones of your instructive voice!

GG. Close one. Most entertaining.

Great to have you back.

I’m beta testing player and it’s been over two years since I’ve played it, thinking to play it again

It's good to see you back, hope everything goes well? 😄

WELCOME BACK ICHASE!

Have you thought of talking to Aaron at Sub Brief? Formerly known as the Jive Turkey. If you talk about the LCS, he might give a good perspective too.

I'm glad to see you back. I really like your video. Look forward to see you talking about ss, cv playing method or new ships.

Welcome back sir Chase! I don't really play the game anymore but I'm sure I will still enjoy your your content 😊.

Good to see you again.

well, surprisingly enough, i found you through another youtuber, does "sidestrafe" ring any bells?

well ... well ...look who came back to daddy wargaming :D

ah welcome back! enjoy all the new crazy...

Happy to see you back ! 🎉

The legend is back?!!

Speaking of comedic type of games: Do you know that "Steel Ocean" is also back after several years? ;-)

Dang, check out who'se back in the saddle!!

I mostly have always watched your videos for the WOWS content, both educational and the more just for fun/cool games. Even the videos where you talk with a game in the background I'm always in for. Less likely to watch more technical ship analysis, not super interested in that area overall, but will still check it out and see!

Welcome back!

Wow just popped up in my feed😂 Been a while! Havent played wows in years no interest.

Good to see you back 👌

welcome back! 🎉

good to see you back sir

Glad your doing well

Good to see you back! Great video!

holy shit he's back and more penguin than ever but ya welcome back to WoWs, the game is still as masochistic as ever

Welcome back

1 out of 30 sounds about right. This is the only game that make you angry when you even win. good job WG i guess.

The Chase has returned! Welcome back ol chap

I quit WOWS when the quitting was good during the CV relaunch SO I didn't have to endure the pain the remaining player base has had to deal with.

IT'S ALIVE!!!

Quiet a time to upload. A tourist sub went missing near titanic today.

Great to see this video in my feed iChase @ichasegaming - hope you are well.

HEY! I checked your channel yesterday to see if you were posting.

Same here, my ratio of enjoyable pvp matches is around 1 out of 15 or 30. 😅 Forced to play coop to still enjoy the game, I'm hopping for a boost of the AI. Pvp is hopeless, teamplay is a dream that will never happen. Balance, skill based matchmaking, CV gameplay, sub gameplay... all those won't happen, unless WG management team is replaced after an unfortunate plane crash or friendly fire from a russian missile.

@ichasegaming - Rooke as in game of chess and Hawke as in the bird...

Nice to see you back Chase, well done on qualifying, I'm always interested in ship tech..ps Wargaming are still Dicks 🤣

Wow welcome back! It's just a game nothing serious, and it's not even naval. It's more of a tank game on water LOL. Your videos did teach me a lot, thanks! Wish you all the best with your school works.😃

Hello hello bro how are you buddy its been long time 😅😅 and also man I can understand the CAD drawing level because I just completed my Bachelors in Technology in Mechanical engineering so its tough man

Submarines are really not that hard to deal with.

Not the game thats gone insane its the entire world.

Haha welcome back

Welcome back! :3

Hey! Welcome back!

Homie u are alive.....🫡🫡

First, I want to say congrats on your accomplishment! Please don’t go back to the CC program like half those WG schills did. Sad how fake some people are and how some of them used LWM to gain popularity with supporting her then going back to the CC program with their tail tucked between their legs.

Wellcom bakc

Thank you.

ICHASE DUDE I MISS U!

As for the British Battlecruiser names: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Rooke en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Hawke,_1st_Baron_Hawke They are named after people, and both should have silent e's at the end. Also, yes. The game is a joke. Treat it like a joke, and have fun. Totally the best way to play the game...indeed, the ONLY way to play right now.

Hey Chase how was the boat building school?

welcom back

Guess who's back

Oh my, you think Graduate school is going to be less work than undergrad? LOL You have much to learn, young one. Much to learn. The good news is that graduate school work is a lot more FUN than undergrad...but it IS more work. There is a reason that MS stands for More of the Same...and PhD stands for Piled Higher and Deeper.

I played 4 coop games since August 2022. One day I just decided I it was not worth my team booting up the client, and surprisingly I have always found something more entertaining to do than playing. Games where 90% of the time not interesting, just meh.

I wondered if you had stopped uploading/playing
