that was a hard fought win, mate!

Well done! I bet your adrenaline was pumping a bit. You do the same thing I do and jiggle the mouse when firing.

no worries mate its my problem not yours, you play how you see fit, It looked to be a banger of a game,,,,, I like when Jingles say's the funny button

I missed who typed it in chat, but whether it was you or not...holy shit about summed that one up perfectly. 😂 Well done!

@@MrAcuta73 that was me. Lol. I couldn’t believe it and I mistyped it in fact.

Bingo!

Yeah, that was confusing to me as well.

He even did a video of the Worcester class and went into detail about their design and construction

I was going to say the same thing.

That's not what he said. He said the US wasn't building the Worcester class when Argentine was looking for a new cruiser which they weren't and while the US proposed a Worcester class to Argentine they couldn't afford to have both a new ship built and the cost of all the production lines restarted from scratch as it had been shut down 6-12 months earlier.

Thinking the same.

defo a game of throws lol

I was thinking the same thing. Even IF the Smolensk thought, "He's out of heals and is practically a one shot kill", he shouldn't have been waiting THAT close to the island. That's practically gift-wrapping a bunch of free citadels.

Agreed, with a possible twist of Rouge throwing by not healing when he can straight away.

Wasn't it? :-D

Worth taking down and re-posting just for that

Or just.... edit the title?

i squeezed my buttcheaks,,

The best part is that the heal ended up not mattering, the Smolensk whiffed his return shot and didn't get a single hit. He could have gone into that last fight with 1 health and still would've won.

"squeezing my mouse" I thought that was a euphemism for clenching your bunghole! Then I realised you're watching on a pc...

The wreckage of a Moskva looks better ;)

@@matheusrondelleite8015 What kind of diving gear do you need to look at it?

@@57thorns Definitely not a DEI submarine

i was wondering the same thin

Smolensk: "I'm just gonna sit in the cap, in open water, broadside to whatever is coming for me. What's the worst that could happen?"

He knows he's talking about the US proposing the Worcester class to Argentine but while they could afford a new ship they couldn't afford to have the full manufacturing line being brought back on line as well since the USN's Worcesters had finished construction a year earlier and workers reassigned or laid off. Example the UK and other nations could afford to buy C-17's off the production line while it was running for the US but they couldn't afford to have the production line restarted after being shut down for a year.

2 minute mark “If there had been for example the Worcester class, which was proposed but never built” He’s pretty clearly being old and crap, not explaining that the argentines couldn’t afford it.

@@Ushio01 what the hell are smoking? He most certainly did say the ship was never built. Try checking your attitude at the door and paying attention.

​@@Ushio01 The US never actually proposed any such thing for Argentina, though. In fact, the US actively discouraged various South American nations' ambitions to buy new cruisers, and even lobbied Britain to block Vickers from selling them such ships (and Vickers very much had designed quite a few postwar gun and gun-missile combo cruisers aimed at Argentina and Venezuela). Because the US didn't want a new arms race to wreck the South American economies and create potentially communist-leaning revolutions. Proving a pair of old Brooklyn-class cruisers each to Argentina, Brazil, and Chile was to tide them over so they wouldn't look to the Soviet Union to fulfil their cruiser ambitions instead. Argentina's request for a 3rd Brooklyn (the more extensively modernized USS Savannah) on the grounds that they were "obviously" the greater naval power than Brazil and Chile and thus should get a 3:2:2 ratio, was flatly rejected. There was zero prospect that the US was going to build a modified Worcester for Argentina. As such, the high tiers of the Pan-America tech tree are complete nonsense, and presumably came about because after the divorce from Russia and Lesta Studio, Wargaming has a smaller and less experienced 3D modeling staff than they used to. And modifying the Worcester model to make San Martín as seen as easier than creating the Vickers Design 1124A cruiser (what Argentina actually wanted to buy) from scratch. The latter is a broadly similar design to Neptune, but not so similar that the hull model could be reused.

@@RedXlV The US didn't (doesn't) really give two shits about Latam going broke building ships (or going broke altogether). They happily tendered for at the very least the Argentine battleship bid 30 years prior, and even won that bid. These naval arms races that did take place didn't render the ABC countries broke either. Argentina and Chile both engaged in an arms race in the late 19th century, which was brought to an end due to British mediation. The ABC arms race began when Brazil sought to rebuild its navy (by procuring two dreadnoughts) due to it being ruined by a series of revolts and the nebulous times immediately following the Emperor's overthrow. All of them more or less footed their first tenders just fine, though Brazil's counter-response to the Rivadavia class was killed by a downturn due to a collapse of its exports. US attitude about naval parity among ABC nations... varied. It definitely sought to more or less reset and maintain it by going with a 2:2:2 ratio for the light cruisers during the postwar, but during the interwar years, it had attempted to lease a number of old destroyers to Brazil, which was met with strong outcry from Argentina due to self evident reasons. The Americans eventually abandoned that idea given a follow-up British intervention that had no interest in seeing destabilization down south. As for the Soviets providing vessels... Doubtful. None of the regimes in the ABC countries were soviet-friendly (as a matter of fact, the Soviets tried to block Argentina from joining the UN), and even if that wasn't the case, Soviet shipbuilding had more pressing needs than trying to sell warships to ideologically hostile nations.

Have to wonder how many of his/her teammates were screaming to just run and let the time run out. Then reporting him/her as a poor player afterwards.

Yup, it's Spanish, not French.

@@Wolfeson28 What, you mean there are two foreign languages? That's not really fair, is it?

Made the best of a terrible situation

@@timmyingelbrecht6977 or he thought that his stronk ship was made of Stalinum and that he would not take damage when ramming the Napoli... who knows?

same

The people complaining are the ones who get devstruck because of target fixation.

As a DD main I concur I do that all the time in gun duels with my DD.

For me it wasn't the zooming, it was the shaking camera every time he was firing. I felt like I was getting motion sick.

I didn't even make it to 8 minutes. I had to give up. Can't see it finished

the way he jerks his mouse around while shooting is maddening

thanks for the giggle.

I started grinding down the Pan-American. CL line not to long ago and the funny button is really fun so long as you can aim. Another really fun thing about the line is that the T6 Italian design, the Almet Cochrane looks/sounds like the almighty cockrain

Yeah, it is a habbit to prevent me from becoming too narrowly focused on my target. Partially since I use a mod that allows me to zoom in a lot.

@@TK-fk4po yeah, i know why you are doing it. Same reason everybody is doing or did it including myself. But even though you are doing a DOUBLE zoom-out, which would annoy the shit out of me (and makes the replay pretty hard to watch) - hence my comment ;) So my point is, that there are a lot of situations when you know where all the enemy ships are (specially at the end of a battle or in smaller match settings like Ranked or CW) meaning no chance of surprises and there for no NEED for the zoom out as long as you keep an eye on the minimap. Specially in n light cruisers the "incoming fire alert" helps a lot too, because it means you dont have to zoom out to see the shells and can simply change course, if you know - based on the minimap - who is shooting at you. I found that to A. be a lot less stressful and B. improve my aim and hitrate. The zoom-out thing is really something you start doing in wows, when you play mostly by direct vision instead of using all the information the game offers. Nots aying, that you dont use the minimap-the end of this battle clearly is prove, that you do, but i#d say you dont use it to its full potential. And as i wrote: it's something that tends to escalate and can be "trained" away. oh and a last point: dont use mods - its a question of personal pride ^^ peace o/

why do we get surprised anymore? 😂

It was all I could think to try to rapidly type!

Of course it's possible, if you take short-fuse BBs like UK or cruisers.

Every new version of the game doesn't play older version replays. So after every patch, your replays recorded prior to it, won't work. ( Google is your best friend. )

amen to that, Jingles also overlooked that most of the Preussen's bow is armoured much more heavily that the incomparable can overmatch

@@Mithril_Antimarr Yeah its like... 50 or 75mm Ice Braker Plating.

Gun caliber has no direct impact on overpenetrations. The gun caliber could be a kilometer with ten billion meters of penetration at 12 km and it wouldn't overpenetrate as long as it had something like Minotaur's fuse time and shell flight characteristics.

Dave, Dave, Dave and Dave.

roll back a couple of seconds. Before the Smoli got balansed, it was 998.

That's with the kill of the Smolensk deducted. Just before she was sunk, the score ticked up to 998 as Jingles said.

@@Schnittertm1 Ah - didn't take that into account. Thanks.
