It's a unique function of Soviet vehicles in WoT, that the larger the aiming reticle, the more Accuracy you can fit into it. I'm sure Circon once theorized the most efficient sniper in the Red Army was a Light Tank Commander with 50% training drafted into a KV-2 with no other crew remaining, manning a broken 152mm howitzer in a rotating turret, traveling at full speed.

"Big gun go derp. Enemy tank go boom." might be the greatest tagline for a vehicle in WoT. Trademark that Jingles. :D

Jackson was an absolute joy in the chat... "Mother of pearl!" "Sorry for the language" Amazing. Also love that you can see the exact moment Skyguy realized he could just... hit the brakes and kill the e25. That's using your head folks.

A KV-2 maneuver kill. Now I've seen everything.

the conversation in chat between KV-2 and Jackson and the ending are just gold.

That E-25 needs a remedial physics course.

Ah, the old Endor Break maneuver. Did not expect a KV to ever execute it.

E-25: "A-ha! Got you now ya big fat Russian bugger!" KV-2: "WHO SENT THIS BABY TO FIGHT?!" *SLAMS on the brakes making burning tread marks* E-25: "AAAAAAA-" *KAPOOSH*

KV-2, for when you want something small, light and nimble to scout for your TOG platoon!

Ah, KV-2...the good ol' days of WOT

Actually, Jingles... don't worry, I'm getting ready to go to the salt mines already, but the KV tank that held up the German advance for a day during the Battle of Raseiniai was probably a KV-1. Accounts vary, but research into Russian records suggests the most likely tank was a KV-1 from the nearby Soviet 4th Tank Regiment that had become immobilised. Yes, yes... I'm going to get my toothpick to extract the salt for the glorious gnome overlord's fish and chip supper.

Dude that last moment when he hits the brakes and makes the tiny tank hit his rear made me spit my drink out lol 😂

The amount of "shield not penetrated" on Hellcats says that KV-2 HE is utterly killed off.

When Jingles says about the cold hand of stalin breaking the surface to guide the shot, I can just imagine his hand popping up like a buried zombie hand coming up to the surface.

You see KV-2 you click like.

3:34 I believe Nicholas Moran has said that the Germans knew full-well the 88mm was good for AT work even before the Battle of France. I mean, why would they have AP ammo ready for that KV-2 if they didn't think it would be useful?

I could see that brake check from a mile away 😂 the E 25 was just a weee bit lead-footed as it crested the bump on the hill

Came for jingles..stayed for KV-2

the moment that the kv2 went down the hill at the end I knew it was coming lol

If you look, Skyguy Brake Checked the E25 and I'm all for how well played that was.

The KV-2, like the TOG, always delivers.

Maybe the "historical accuracy" gang want to discuss the combat state of a crew in ANY tank hit with a 152 mm HE shell, irrespective of how thick a box they are in?

I would have never though to ever see a KV-2 brake check a E-25... what a day!

On this same map, our scout being chased by an ELC down in the valley. Only thing missing was the Benny Hill theme music. Without stopping my KV-2, way out of render range, let a shot go with a stupid amount of lead... and it destroyed the ELC. Someday, when I'm much older and senile, I'll be retelling this like it was real life. "Okay Grandpa, Whatever you say, now take your pills."

Im a simple man, I see kv-2 I upvote

Watch what ya say about W.G. Jingles. They might say "Hold my beer" and they nerf high explosive so much that it does next to nothing in damage against heavy armor! GG, and thank you for the KV2 show!

13:50 funniest thing I've seen in a while

And for those that missed it his name is in reference to Asoka calling Anakin Skyguy in Clone Wars. Style points for that one.

THIS is the tank that got me into World of Tanks! Keep your Panzers, your Shermans, your Tigers and your IS's. To me, WoT was all about my 152mm harbinger of doom and BOOM! 😋 Those were the days...

I've never seen someone break check a tank to death xD

Skyguy killing that E25 using his ass is top comedy

The 8.8cm Flak 18 was first used against ground targets in the Spanish Civil War and later the Flak 36 was used against British Matilda I's in 1940 at Arras.

That shot on the VK....it was just like the good ol days. Deeerp!

WG: NERFS HE WG: Makes a heavy line the has stupid HE. Looking at you BZ line.

Haven't played WoT since 2018. The two vehicles I miss the most are the KV-2 and the SU-152. Just vaporizing an enemy that had full health was such a glorious feeling. Thank you for the video and the trip down memory lane, Jingles! 🙂

I don't think the E25 actually intended to ram him. He just got brake checked pretty good...

That ending... Comedy gold right there!

That E25 clearly hasn't seen Jingles' "how to ram" video. To be fair, that video is kinda old, but still gold.

Big gun "go derp"! Jingles colorful description of pure KV-2 entertainment.

I don't play WoT, but the KV-2 puts a smile on my face every time ☺️

7:30 two KV-2s shooting everytime they reload putting consistent damage the entire match, panther: KV-2s did nothing and we lost the game classic WoT

Just a touch after 0200 here in the US, but who needs sleep when you can watch a Jingles video instead?

I do love the KV-2 Show, I'm happy to see there are still new episodes coming out 🙂

I LOVE the "Cold dead hand of Stalin" meme, it is, by far, the best meme in WoT, thank you so much for delivering

That E-25 ram was priceless! I was literally laughing uncontrollably!

there is no better way to enjoy breakfast then with a KV-2 video :)

"Mother of pearl" "Sorry about my language" Made me chuckle XD

A KV-2 video on my birthday? Thank you Jingles!

I needed a good laugh, today was rough. Thanks Jingles.

Actually Jingles, one of the biggest modifications to the KV series tanks did NOT involve adding more armor. In fact, it was the opposite, the KV-1S (it's in the game) had reduced side armor to save weight.

These make working in the salt mine just that little easier when it's historic talk while wot is playing in the background

I never get enough of KV-2 game play 🙂

My favourite moment of the new HE was when I took two zero damage HESH rounds from a death Star when I was playing a grille15

Awesome video as always, just couldn't help but notice the fit the panther took after overextending around the corner and dying. I hope they stayed in the game long enough to see how well their comment "kv2s lost the game" aged at 7:32

I remember back in Beta when the KV became the KV-1 and KV-2 and people use to panic when they seen a KV-2 it was GG from the start lol

I only thought the other day "Jingles, why no KV2 anymore" Great gameplay, brilliant commentary - Please do more of these 😁

Playing this and the KV-1 waaaaaaay back when was the first time I felt invincible in WoT.

Jingles, Wehrmacht did know about the deficiencies of the tank's own guns - so they did ensure that the 88 mm kanone would have AP ammunition too ! And that was their doctrine in 1940 in France, the 88 mm was intended for all targets air or ground or sea.

NOW WE NEED A A HOT TOG SHOW

Thanks jingles. As a history major in college I appreciate and enjoy your history lessons on real tanks. 👍🏻

I am old fashioned, I see KV-2, I click!

That E-25 shot was painful, I know Wargaming abandoned realism years ago, but that shell should have vaporized that little thing

I had a hilarious moment on Redshire in the KV-2 a couple of weeks ago. We had just won the airship and was pushing through and a tank in the middle was spotted, I fired on the move at full speed while also turning the turred from D0 to D3/D4 at well over 400 meters while that tank was pulling back behind the hill, hit and one shotted him. I took a few more shots at range but without moving and hit every single in the battle and ended up with a tank sniper medal and a high caliber. Unfortunately for every one of those games you'll have dozens of games where you can't even hit the inside of the barn.

Oh dear... it's been too long since a KV2 vid. As he's running down the hill followed be the E25 I'm yelling at the screen "Hit the brakes!!". E25 go splat... marvellous. :)

Best WoT video in ages....I'm crying at the E25.

Hey rear admiral Jingles keep making excellent videos there always entertaining and fun to watch

Love your stuff Jingles

I love how he even put the breaks on the E25. Kv 2 never gets old.

The 75mm gun used in 1941 was a low-velocity 75mm. It had worse penetration than the 75mm on the Sherman and could penetrate 43mm of armor at 30 degree slope at 750M. They were later upgraded to a better, higher-velocity gun..

That E-25 is a classic case of the dog finding out what the windpipe does when you catch it on a bad day.

Me: (Opens KZfaq and see's The KV-2 Show from The Mighty Jingles) "I must watch this immediately"

What a great time it was when you could drag some teammates into T10 Battles with their KV-2`s.... and your team WINS, because your KV-2`s killed T10 Heavys :D

Hey Jingles, great video as always. Re: the famous 88. It was actually their experience in the Spanish Civil War that convinced the Germans it would be an effective anti-tank weapon. Hugh Thomas wrote an excellent general history of it and among other, more famous examples of the genre, a young British volunteer for the *Nationalists*, Peter Kemp, wrote a very good memoir called "Mine Were of Trouble" on his experiences. Have a good one!

I seriously lol'd when he brake-checked the E-25 and killed it XD

@The Mighty Jingles ... The "Not one step back" directive was issued at the start of the battle of Stalingrad (28 July 1942) by our friend Jospeh... Not at the starting days of op. Barbarossa

I just started this video and just had to mention how much i enjoy Mr Jingles commentary about historical facts of tanks in game. Ah, off to watch now :D

Always a joy to see the old KV-2 strutting her stuff and whiffing the best aimed shots while nailing the hail marys 😂

Jackson: "Oh Mother of Pearl... sorry about the language." I like this player.

Thanks for the video Jingles. I looove the Kv2! Even if wargaming doesn't want people to have any fun in their game, the Kv2 can still deliver!!

i miss the old game when kv2 was far more entertaining and the sacrificing of disidents was a must

Still lovin KV-2 replays :)

13:55 *KV-2 to E25* “The power of the ass compels you”

In all of the 8 years i have been playing World of Tanks, that is the first time I have seen a KV-2 do over a 1000 damage

I think my favourite part was the dead hand of Stalin guiding our Hero's shots

One of the most hilarious games I've had was using AP in the KV-2. One shotting tanks everywhere, blind fire kills.

Now we need a good old fashioned TOG video

I fail tooned my KV2 into a teir 9 game my first game in it, one spotted a doom turtle. Did 80% damage with my shot and then he burned to death. Way back when this game was still fun to play.

Brought to you today by the KV-2 - proudly supporting content creators and their denizens with daily doses of endorphins since 2014.

Thanks for video. Been an interesting few days since YT has been recommending 7+ year old videos from you and Flamu. Been an interesting contrast looking back. I thought I'd seen all your videos over the years.

ahh yes, a mighty jingles video just as i get home from a huge day. tuna bake at the ready! Perfect end to the arvo haha!

I like to think that the KV-2 story was a real life example of a lemming train, with the German tanks finding a single KV-2 and looking at each other going "no, you go first" XD

one of the better Jingles WoT vids for a while.

Hello Mighty Jangles. The only high light of my day

Actually Jingles the Germans turned to the 88 as an anti-tank weapon prior to Barbarossa. It was in the Battle of France in 1940 and against the good old British Matilda! German tank and anti-tank guns struggled to pen it hence trying the 88, which was of course effective.

If you’re talking about Kamenewo, that wasn’t a KV2; it was a 1b.

1:40 what I'm hearing is the Germans lemming trained 🤣

Acutally Jingles the engine in the KV-2 is fairly powerful. It used an V-12 engine just like contempary tanks from other nations (except for America which used radial aircraft engines and the six cylinder engines found on Japanese and French tanks but they were worse than the KV-2 for a reason). Even the IS tanks kept using versions of the V-2 engine found on the KV tanks and the T-34s.

Sherman derping was every bit as fun as KV-2 derping. I really miss it.

Great video, thank you!

A couple of corrections to what was said about the KV-2: Firing the main cannon over a side wasn't enough to flip the tank. It was, however, enough to potentially damage or destroy the turret ring and make it impossible to rotate the turret. Firing the gun over a side could make the tank unstable enough to flip the vehicle if it were already in an unstable position such as being tilted sideways on a slope. The turret was so heavy that trying to rotate it while the vehicle was tilted could also damage the turret ring. KV-2 crews generally only worked the turret and gun when on a reasonably flat stretch of ground. KV-1 and -2 used a diesel engine with a gearbox from a caterpillar tractor, and the 50 tons of a KV-1 pushed the gearbox to its limits and made it unreliable. The KV-2 was 57 tons, and that meant that on a road, it only reached about 25.6 kmh / 15.9 mph. Off-road, it was more like 12 kmh / 7.5 mph flat-out. The fuel supply it carried could only take it 175 km / 110 miles under ideal driving conditions. Jingles was incorrect when he said that most German tanks had 20mm guns at the start of Operation Barbarossa. He probably meant to say that they had 3.7 cm AT guns. Only armored cars and light tanks like the PZKW II had the 2.0 cm. PZKW III and PZKW 38(t) started the war with 3.7 cm guns. The 38t was withdrawn from service later and the Panzer III was up-gunned and up-armored for a time, ending with a high-velocity 5.0 cm gun that could take on a KV. The chassis of both tanks were also field-modified to become tank destroyers that carried 7.5 cm guns (the Marder series), and after a time, they were purpose-built for the role. The PZKW III started the war with some of the hulls being used for the Sturmgeschutz III infantry support vehicle with a 7.5 cm low-velocity artillery gun. They were eventually fitted with a 7.5 cm AT gun. When the PZKW IIIs were dropped from front line service, many of the surviving ones were converted into StuGs and some were modified into vehicles like the 10.5 cm self-propelled artillery platform known as the Wespe.
