Giddy like a little girl to see my gameplay up! 😃

You forgot the "Kraken Unleashed" animation

The Yamato probably scored multiple citadels on the Musashi by hitting its weakspot in the bow cheeks

In a day and age where we have no option whatsoever but to watch 10 minute videos jampacked with ads, i believe all of us can rally behind jingles as a beacon of hope with his amazing content!

The Zao shells are way more than adequate, while they don't have the same pen angles as the USN shells, they have super high pen and are extremely fast. They are really good for sniping cruiser citadels at range. Edit: also the rpf skill doesn't point directly at the enemy ship. It points towards the map square the enemy ship is in Edit edit: I'm pretty sure the Musashi at 8:30 just ate citadels through the bow from the Yamato.

6:45 Jingles takes his memes to a whole new level I had to listen three time very very carefully to not get mind blown by what he just said xD Altho' I still feel a bit confused

Wow, what a match! Well played, Sir!

I fairly enjoyed that, especially the bit of suspense at the end.. Well played indeed....🚢

Am I the only one who wants to see more lower tier derpy stuff??

When i watch Jingles videos during my lunch break, i fall asleep to a power nap instantly... i have to watch the whole video later again.. i have to admit Jingles is my favourite ASMR Artist :D

jingles, at 8:48 or so. when you zoom in on the mushashi. it had just eaten a set of torps. you can barely make out the trails and a couple of the splashes from impacts.

Great video as always jingles keep up the great work

Nicely done!

I haven't even watched the video but it's jingles so it must be good.

Nicely done run.

At 18:50 the Zao's Number 4 turret turns through his hull to get to the wrong side of the ship. Had that happen in my Alabama during a brawl once, and it screwed me.

Launching a Jingles video, starting with a La Roche possay ad xD

no! i think the yamato penetrated that japanese battelships bow armour

I got 2 questions for you 1 - 3:25, the Yugumo stay spotted allthough he is behind an island. Now I know that hydro is up, but would the island not block absorb and return the pulses ? 2 - end game scenario, would it be a good idea to fire the guns just before the spotter plane returns in a 1v1 situation ? Say, if you fire and do not get spotted, enemy far away. If you fire, get spotted, plane returns, no longer spotted, enemy still far away. If you fire, get spotted, plane returns, still spotted, so the enemy is near. Ot would it entirely be better not to fire ? Thanks!

In the Musashi's defense, any Yamato/Musashi mirror fight is pretty much a race to whoever can get the most frontal citadels before the other. You can kind of angle and hope they don't shoot your fore hull at the waterline and overmatch your 32mm armor, but considering how well-known the Yamato/Musashi's "cheek" weakness is (especially to captains of said ships), that's a somewhat vain hope.

Brilliant battle!!

Extremely exciting game to watch Jingles

This video has been up for less then 60 seconds and it already has over 150 views

oh right mega zao, for a second i though you said megazord

Wow, gg!! Enjoyed that one indeed.

Great vids jingles

Great replay Jingles

Glad to see im not the only one who ends up staring at the edge of the map every time i press shift with a spotter plane up.

9:16 Umm....Jingles just a few seconds earlier you were just guessing an enemy DD did most of the damage...why are you so sure of it now? Well anyway....you'd be wrong. If you look closely at 8:21 right as the camera cuts away you can see the Yamato shoot the Musashi and knock him down to about 35k HP.

Good one jingles

Jingles i think you´re mistaken about the Des Moines, i watched that part three times and i think he does it on Purpose. He´s switching to HE every time El Marto shows broadside, and back to AP when hes angled. XD

Just awesome job

"Suecider" lol

If someone can tell me why I do AP pens with no damage I would really appreciate it.

Hi what a great video I wish there was a game for the blind like this

3:06 When he took a hard turn to starboard... damn near the whole crew fell over.

While the rest of the Japanese heavy cruisers have adequate (sometimes even poor) AP, the Zao is not one of them, it is phenomenally good at sniping broadsides long range and it packs one hell of an alpha strike from the 12 guns. It's actually a bit of a shock after the Ibuki

Zao AP is actually pretty fantastic Jingles, the velocity of these guns compared to the Des Moines gives them much stronger penetration just not at weird angles.

A non damage HE pen can be explained by it hitting an auxiliary thats not tied to the ships healthpool. I've had this happen to me at least once when I found a 370 something HP DD in a cap, both of the HE shells that penetrated didn't do damage. He detonated me in return (im not running deto flags in randoms, it's free flags if I do get detonated), so needless to say I was slightly annoyed with that :P

If only I was that good! Tnx great Video

8:23 *Actually Jingles* the Yamato lolpens the Musashi from the front and does about 45-50k damage. From 88k hp to 35k hp.

I was hoping he would get the Solo Warrior achievement.

Hey Commander Jingles, I forgot..what is RPF? I'm assuming some sort of Range P? Finder?

Memewhile in War Thunder Naval, speedy little boogers everywhere. Destroyers and Cruisers doing random shenanigans in the foreground. Thus utter chaos takes hold.

5:38, actually jingles you can, see when you get a 0 damage penetrating hit on an enemy warship with armour piercing, it means that you penetrated and damaged a module, this could be anything from the barrel of the gun turret, or a torpedo tube. In the case of high explosive, if you penetrate a section of an enemy ship with high explosive but receive no damage, it can mean one of two things: A, despite it being early in the battle it’s possible that the section of the Edinburgh that the zao hit with he somehow had already crossed the second damage threshold through over saturation, see with over saturation, there are two damage thresholds, when the first damage threshold is crossed all damage dealt to that specific section is halved and a 0.165 damage multiplier is tacked onto all damage that ends up being dealt to that specific part of the ship. After that there is a second damage threshold that can be crossed, which again happens after enough penetration damage is dealt to a specific section of the ship, in this case the bow, when this damage threshold is crossed, any further attempts to cause penetration damage to that specific section of the ship, the bow in this case, will be automatically reduced to 0 damage; however it’s highly unusual if not impossible for a specific section of a ship, let a lone a crusier to have crossed this second damage threshold in terms of damage to one of its sections, the bow in this case, especially when it’s this early in the match, and with how much health the Edinburgh had remaining, so it’s probably more likely that the zao s single he penetration damaged one of the two forward gun mounts on Edinburgh or less likely, damaged one of the torpedo tubes on Edinburgh on the mid section of the ship some, that’s my best guess though.

When he says 19%, is that also including the buffs to fire % you can have, or?

Great game by El Marto, coupled with the legendary commentary of Jingles. What could be better? Marmite on toast anyone?

4th turret went derp near the end of the match xD

Aye Aye Captain

Needs more HE Seriously tho, what a game GG!! Brilliant simply brilliant

Happy 600k subs

That would be the Yamamoto cheek I think

19:00 the suicidal turret bug D:

The Musashi got Montana'd Jingles...

where was the kraken unleashed clip?

hamburgers for lunch, Jingles on my screen, life is good

That is the most medals I’ve ever seen

Isn't it better to keep concentrated gunfire on the target rather than full broadsides?

WoW your into alot of what ifs

It's that bloody warship game again...

Great play by play.

Zaos also fire longer distance than Des Moines, at least in my experience.

Oh look who was at the bottom of the board, our friend in the Musashi.

So El Marto was probably thinking, "Hey!!!! What happened?!?!?!?", and I can only guess the enemy team was thinking the same thing as they slowly died off.

Don't forget the Nelson having a 48% chance of starting a fire and that is without the demo expert skill.

Second World War radar that can penetrate landmass. Not sure where WOW dug that up from. I was a pinky and we did not have that in the 80s. 22nd century electronics for CCs. Is that the preferred ship for the developers? Just wondering. Love your vids by the way. Carry on shippers!

9:13 I think the Yamato just wants some fermented apple juice from a person called sue.

Jingles, the Zao has some of the best cruiser AP shells. They are more than servisable.

so much rewards to!

Because of his name I thought he was going to be behind the controls of a Yamato

love that his first kill in a Zao is a secondary battery kill. Makes a welcome change.

you can cid a musashi from the fron bekose of how thge front cid is made

Are you going to do a video on war thunder naval battles? its open beta now.

Yaaaaaay! :D

Has anyone else noticed how at 19:13 the turent at the back started turning ?

Musashi being a Yamato tier IX copy also has its weaknesses one being that flat frontal citadel bulkhead under turret 2 making ''go under an angle'' almost imposible for both ships and instead you have to go nose in... unfortunetly a yamato can overmatch another yamato trough the nose so my guess is he eat triple citadel trough nose or got shot trough that weak spot under the turret for 60k dmg XD or my personal favorite another bb shot his broadside from other side of the map 20km+... with plunging fire and a lot ... A LOT of luck you can get some decent dmg

Jingles, I invite you to grind for your Zao. That AP is much better than just "adequate"... Many people forget this and just spam HE, or expect you to just spam HE, then you blap them with AP, Expert Loader is a really nice skill for the Zao...

I know what happened to the Musashi (or have a decent idea of what happened to 60+k of his HP); he wasn't nose on. He probably turned just slightly left or right and showed enough cheek for that Yammy to lolpen the Musashi. I've done that a few times. Aim for the Yammy/Musashi's blushing turret cheeks and lolpen away!

The perfect storm of both enemy and friendly team incompetence.

I was in the video :D I was the Alabama btw lol

The 0 damage shot to the Edinburgh must have been to the turrets, the side armour of the Edinburgh's turrets is thin enough for the Zoas HE to penetrate it

3:40 that yugumo just got spanked

8:57 No, jingles, he wasn't broadsising a yamato, a glance at the minimap would tell you that. the Yamato, however, does not give a singular flying fuck what angle you are at, and will Citadel you anyway

The end is a bit of a "commando" moment , where everyone shoots at the Zao but keeps missing like shes Arnold Schwarzenegger or something

I'm sure it's been pointed out before, but "zao" means "evil" in Croatian. :)

Does smoke conceal torpedoes? I've never heard of that...

that shimakaze LOL

Wish my BB had such tight grouping as cruisers :(

The Musashi player, 43% win rate. That is the answer. Oh and the Montana player... 43%

man don't underestimate the AP on the Zao, i've caught meany-a-cruisers out with AP landing 4+ cits in some salvo's...only annoying thing about the Zao is it's small HP...but she's still my fave t10 cruiser

Zero damage HE penetration: the shell hit a turret or other external module, the Edinburgh made its saving throw or the shell didn't do enough damage to the module to disable it, the shell's splash radius wasn't enough to damage the Edinburgh's hull hitpoints = zero damage done. Yamato and Musashi have a - ... well, I wouldn't call it a 'weak spot', but their armor geometry underneath the #1 turret is - shall we say - 'dubious', allowing for 16" citadel penetrations when the ship is poorly angled and 18.1" shells when it's bow on, since 18.1" shells overmatch the 32mm bow giving them direct access to the citadel bulkhead. That's probably what happened to the Musashi, it got triple citadel'd by a lucky salvo from the Yamato.

To be fair to the Monty, if I hadn't started watching Jingles, I'd probably have been in exactly the same place. Wait, no, he's using that "rudder" thing.

I think when battleship players use damage control on a single fire, they believe as I did when starting out.... "fires on board ship can be very troublesome." While I was in the Navy, that was a big thing, put out the fires!! Especially for a carrier. Remember the USS FORESTALL fire? However, the mighty jingles has taught me, in the gaming reality, you can confidently stand fast on the first fire.

I think the musachi was hit in the cheeks or frontal citadel from yamato.

DAMN! nice fight! loved that doublekill.. sure sure... there will be people claiming he was "lucky" ... well for those kinda games u NEED a bit of luck!! so yeah he did have a bit of luck, but in NO WAY what so ever does this reduce the awesomeness of his fight!

Reads description. Oh come on Jingles, lay off the announcer, he is a recovering alcoholic.

1:16 hairy cruisers you say

1:15 -- "The Des Moines, in common with other American *HAIRY CRUISERS,* ..." -- Hairy Cruiser Hairy Hairy Cruiser! *passes out flowers*

8:48 Dem yamasuhi cheeks is what happened Jingles...

No Kraken? NNNNOOOOOOOOO! x.x *cries of despair from the salt mines*
