[@ArmoredWarfareGame]

Hey - thanks for yet another awesome video, Jingles! As for the too low rewards from PvE, that's a bug that's gonna be fixed soon(ish). And as for all you awesome guys - we are looking forward to your feedback!

[@AndreHerrmann1202]

Armored Warfare Very nice gamemode, it is already a lot of fun. Played it with a friend using the invitation code you handed out to beta testers. Thank you and keep up the good work!

[@JTelli786]

Armored Warfare It's good to see a gaming company actually listening to the players!

[@b.g.1764]

Armored Warfare When can we expect open beta?

[@arousedsquirrel2429]

Armored Warfare Hi AW. The graphics will be massively improved, right?

[@sethjohnson8021]

Aroused Squirrel its the cryengine. The graphics can't get much better than that engine

[@JustSomeGuy489]

What about 15 player raids with complicated objectives, tough bosses and huge, unique rewards? I'd like to see that.

[@The_MightyJingles]

JustSomeGuy "Boss" tank fights are actually something they have planned.

[@JustSomeGuy489]

The Mighty Jingles Should I expect Ace Combat esque sci fi super heavy prototype tanks with fully operational laser and plasma cannons? ... Or should I lower my expectations... Probably should...

[@laurenforsyth8143]

JustSomeGuy if you want that play halo. Enough said

[@aergisgaming4433]

connor forsyth Ehh... He made a good point and besides Halo doesn't have stuff like that. Ace Combat style "boss" battles would be cool

[@JustSomeGuy489]

connor forsyth But think of how awesome it could be! I think from a gameplay standpoint anyways... I get tired of real life vehicles and "SHOOT THE TONKS" gameplay sometimes... Maybe a retrofitted T-90 with a mobile energy shield that makes it invulnerable, and you need to destroy these conduits that power it to make it vulnerable, and engineering vehicles attempt to repair the things so you need to have guys destroy those as well... or maybe 5 wiesel AFVs that are armed with the targetting systems of an orbital laser platform, and you need to keep moving to prevent getting beamed from the sky by one of them... Just think of the possibilities for interesting gameplay if you just go away from pseudo-realism for just a brief moment!

[@warhawk9566]

From what it sounds like Easy Difficult=You have to try to lose in order to do poorly Medium=Isn't much of a challenge but if you slip up it can kill your chance of victory Hard= Be on top of your game boys cause this is gonna take some effort Insanity= Good fucking luck.

[@warhawk9566]

MrPachoc i didn't say one thing about the graphics and graphics are more of an addition, good graphics don't make a good game (See Beyond two souls) What does gameplay like a ps2 even mean? PS2 had games with amazing gameplay, graphics were bad but many of the games were fun. 39 hours is a long time to play, guess something drew you in. I frankly like the game and I don't care if you do but I'm just pointing out all the dumb points you made

[@MorpionMagic]

Another thing you like about the AI is that they ain't got the order "kill jingels first" embedded ;)

I can't wait to play the Stryker. I was in the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team. I was a Stryker driver in the unit. My Stryker didnt have a 105 mm. but , We had a .50 cal on it. So excited.

[@SmellyTommy]

They should put Jingles in to one of the PVE battles as a boss fight

[@Talon3000]

Leo2 AND the PzH 2000. nice. I like armored warfare more and more.

[@gundog39]

A PvE mode will be a great stress buster if the PvP is going horribly for you, just load up some PvE mission and have some fun. I can see myself playing a lot of this. :D

[@tasman006]

Sorry Jingles your going to hate this comment. At 1.30 that's a Leopard 2A6 not the 2A5 version. It has the longer 120mm L55 gun compared to the Ariete , M1A1 Abrams and the Leapord 2A5 which has the 120 mm L44 which has 30% less m/v than the L44.

[@The_MightyJingles]

tasman006 I don't know why you're apologising to me. They're AW's screenshots.

[@francisglare2254]

Please when you hit 500k subscribers do a day in the life of jingles or a draw my life thanks

[@NoRestForTheWest]

They need to add the feature that when Jingles plays PvE all the enemies YOLO at him.

[@gmansplit]

1 problem with over match in wot, is what if i am playing in my T34 HT, i'm having a good time shooting at IS3's and Lowe's, and other T34's Suddenly, an ELC rounds the corner trying to get past me. I say "Not today Sonny Jim" and pummel my shell right into him. I think "Got you now sucker." hen i realize my shell went clean trough him, doing 50 damage and leaving him to round up our artillery,

[@SuperPolishPaul]

Funny thing ! i just bought their mid tier founder pack and....cant get the game client ,their auto download file wont let me get it.....been waiting for any support for 5 hours now with open ticket...less $30 in my packet...did i get riped off by my.com or im just unlucky?????

[@drakecon]

Thanks Jingles for these vids, they have put me into a vice and has almost made me put down money from day 1. Loving the PvE concept and great way of explaining how this helps players out, especially the struggling non try hards XD

[@CarlosRios1]

2 years later and Ready Player One is pretty fucking close.

[@F0X_H0UND]

20:23 - 20:44. Jingles WTF are you doing with your tank? I mean we all do weird things when no one is looking. But keep it in the bedroom pal! (actually dont. its pretty funny.)

[@pranker121]

I did my first PvE game yesterday, and decided to go into PvE on the hard difficulty settings. First PvE game, in my Chieftain, and I got into a squad with SideStrafe. +He was streaming.

[@samhilton1562]

Is this title a rip off of earnest clines debut novel, ready player one? If not I would recommend the book, it's great, all about a virtual reality game with a load of 80's gaming culture references, great read :)

[@yirash47]

[@Cnupoc]

i'm 18% away from getting the T-72 cant wait to get back home and drive my T-64 AI spawning locations are awful. They spawn 10 meters in front or behind me while i start capping. They should spawn somewhere where the players dont have Visual. Not suddenly right in front of you *PUFF* 4 MBTs.... *_*

[@FCScout80913]

Jingles; you will occasionally on medium difficulty meet tanks that will give you problems. I've been forced to fight two M1's in my Leopard on that night map. Also, if you notice, each of the enemies is named "adjective - tank name," so for example, "Fragile T64." This tells you that the T64 isn't nearly as tough as it normally is. There are five different descriptors, as memory serves, that inform you what kind of opposition you are facing, so don't let the PVP tier fool you - check out the descriptor. Generally speaking, HEAT is the best choice for the light vehicles. HE may or may not penetrate (18mm of pen on average), and you may end up with a 56 dmg shot if you get unlucky (you've probably seen that in your Scorpion). HEAT will always penetrate them and generally does more damage than your AP/APFSDS, etc, so your ammo choice was actually just fine. You can also use HEAT to good effect on the sides of some MBTs, but mind the tracks don't eat them. Spaced armor will cause weird effects as well. Generally, always use the AP/APFSDS, etc for heavily armored targets like MBTs. Glad you caught the strange reticle jump in PVE on video. No clue what's causing it, but it is very annoying.

[@xKillerClownx]

I'd like to offer some advice for players who haven't quite grasped the concept of PvE, and how to effectively maximize your rewards, and I know you have a decent viewer base so hopefully this will reach a good number of people. Ideally this is how you want to play PvE games: Start off by clearing the map of all enemy tanks (look around, they are located all around the map on most maps) and hitting secondary objectives, shoot and take cover, keep yourself protected as much as possible. Once you have completed those, then you should trigger the final cap point *but not fully cap out yet*, move out of the cap and kill off all of the enemy tanks that spawn [from triggering the final cap], look around, they don't always spawns directly in visible range. Once you have cleared the final cap spawns then you should cap out. The point of this is to maximize your damage, thus maximizing your rewards. The only exception to this that I have seen so far is when you are playing the lowest tiers, all in auto-cannons that are very weak (armor-wise), pushing to cap [and capping out quickly] in these games sometimes is actually not a bad idea. It has been quite frustrating dealing with people who [essentially] push straight to the cap and cap out while there is still plenty of damage to be had on the map. In general, I was pushing out 22-27k damage in the M60A3, averaging just over 1,000 exp per full PvE game (all 3 rounds total, not individual). I also made something like 1.7-2 million credits through the 6.5 hours the [NA] server was online Thursday. I also offered this advice to players in almost every game I played the last 2 nights, many listened, some didn't... but the ones that listened did quite well and those games were very good/fun. The first map that you are playing on in this video has a game mode where you are supposed to capture the central bridge, if you are in hard difficulty, when you trigger the cap on the bridge, something like 8+ tanks immediately spawn spread out on both sides of the bridge (4-5 on each side). A T-64 driver in one of my games ignored my advice to not rush into the cap, as soon as he did the spawns wrecked his machine within a couple seconds, he then went on to complain that we [his teammates] were bad players and we were supposed to have somehow helped him survive, nevermind that we won the round without him.

[@FunnyVideosShowPL]

There's PvE content on Xbox 360 btw. It's called Tank Practice, where you play against bots, and even while it's not entirely what you would expect from PvE, there's also co-op battles mode coming to WoT on Xbox 360/Xbox One. Just a heads up :)

[@deathfromabove2250]

First minute and a half remark. How in the hell does an M1A1 TUSK compare to a Stryker MGS, A centaro, or a Leo 2A5. The M1A1 should be at a lower rating than the Leo2A5, the Stryker MGS should be at a pitifully low battle rating because its a fucking POS in real life, and same with the Centaro.

[@HappyZavulon]

You pointed out a very good problem in PvP in all of those games (WoT, Warthunder, AW, etc.) - not enough objectives. They should really just take those random objectives from PvE and plonk them in to PvP maps (for instance the first team who blows up the 3 trucks gets a bonus or something). I mean as a new player, I have no idea what the fuck I should be doing in the PvP match, the best thing I can do is pick a random direction to drive and hope to see another player facing ass forwards towards me.

[@Padsoldier]

I really like the idea of a PvE mode - especially with multiple difficulty settings. In a game like this, it allows people to practice the mechanics and learn the game to a certain degree without being a huge hindrance to their team (especially if easy is really as easy as you said). Rewards-wise it has me a bit worried though. If the rewards are good, people might abandon PvP in favor of the consistency. If they're bad then this would probably devolve into a "casual" game mode played rarely "just to have fun", as it's not worth the time (which increases queue times, makes people want to play even less because they have to wait long, and so on). If you don't get anything (or just very little) for losing then that could make some people become angry at people who make mistakes and it wouldn't be enjoyable for practicing. There are a huge amount of traps they could fall into with the design, let's hope they manage to avoid them.

[@Baleur]

I would love to like this, but it just looks just as floaty and arcadey as World of Tanks. After playing War Thunder i just CAN NOT go back to that floaty driving physics. Just cant. I need my weight on my tanks.

[@JTelli786]

Wow I was just watching Jingle's Armored Warfare Third Focus Test video and thinking "Damnit Jingles you need to upload more Amored Warfare videos!" Imagine my surprise when I clicked his name as saw this was just uploaded

[@codexix8582]

So WOWS just went open beta and I just have this to say.. the St.Louis is OP as hell lmao. Just earlier today I managed to get 5 kills with it, and fought against 4 enemy ships at the end and *won* getting over 2k XP, and its not because I am a good player, I'm definitely not a good player, I get my ass handed over to me in any other ship I play except the St Louis.

[@pilotace2121]

I hope you get more exp then you do in wow co-op battles lol

[@MercutioUK2006]

I'd settle for being able to play the darn game. All props for listening to bug reports from the players and acting swiftly upon them, but this current sound bug renders the game unplayable for many.

[@rancidmarshmallow4468]

If overmatch mechanics were in wot, then it would be stupid for tanks like the tog. I never spam apcr, but normal ammo has like 150? 120? (Don't remember) pen. Yet HE only has 38. Meaning you would almost never be able to do full DMG to tanks with 75 or so mil. Of armor. Ap would overmatch and not do as much, and he would not do much splash. Also, strong tenks like kv-2 that like firing communist HE and have 20-second reloads would never do full DMG either. You don't have time to switch ammo, so you either do 700 DMG occasionally and none to less other times, or 900+ 3% of the time, and far less the rest. (You would never get the "I am a mighty German t8 autoloading killer! Fear m- oh, fuck my life." *BOOM*)

[@Fireburnin21]

The question is when are these games going to start adding infantry? y'know the reason why most tanks have MG's and HE ammo? Not anything player controlled, just AI infantry thatll give you a few points if you kill em? Might be a fun addition. *Hides in internet bunker*

[@jakekillify]

***** Come out young one, not gonna yell at you. the fact is that infantry is the single greatest threat to tanks on the battlefield. you make it seem like just a passing inconvenience but a single brave soldier with a decent Anti tank weapon can sneak up on a tank and destroy it without ever being so much as sniffed. Thats not fun gameplay. If they added infantry in a realistic way, the game would break. If they added infantry in an unrealistic way, it kills immersion, soldiers dont just sit and wait to be shot by a tank. And if they added infantry, they would have to add landmines, which are laid by infantry, think arty is bad in WOT? atleast you can hide from arty, mines just wait....

[@Fireburnin21]

i dont understand your logic? you have to remember that there is a battle gonig on, infantry arent going to lay down mines while being fired at from machine guns and other infantry....jakekillify

[@jakekillify]

..... Battles are fought when one side attacks the other. the defending side has time BEFORE the fight to lay things like mines, especially in a modern battlefield. do you honestly think tanks would last in a modern conventional war? the amount of guided missiles and anti tank devices out there that a single man can carry is astounding. The only reason tanks work in places like the middle east today is because the enemy has next to no way of hurting them. If infantry was in armoured warfare, they would be professional modern infantry, and thus a deadly threat to armour.

[@chrisgibson3251]

***** GO TO RED ORCHISTRA AFJKHJKAGHSGFLASDGJ That end part is the most sacred language of derp, goes back to the dinosaurs. Why? caus logic thats why

[@SerpentNED]

The Mighty Jingles Hard mode in PvE is quite nice, played it. But is not that challenging at all though :P. Only I did run out of ammo quite quickly with like 8 kills and >8k damage or something. Speaking about ammo, you probably didn't clean your glasses when reading the descriptions Jingles :P. APDS (or any AP equivalent) is good for highly armoured targets such as MBTs and is all purpose. Because of its high penetration and decent damage. HEAT had lower pen but much higher damage, so this is good for lightly armoured targets such as AFVs, arty or tasty tank butts :D HE (and equivalents) are good for targets you can't pen with your regular ammo like AP or even HEAT. But it doesn't do a lot of damage even when it pens.

[@alichinoalichino2283]

Popular youtubers with large subscribers base should boycott this game. And I don't care that it's (going to be) free to play. It is obvious that it is a reskin of World of Tanks, nobody is disputing that. There's so many features that have simply been taken from WoT it's not even funny. But that is not the problem. The problem is that there could have been another tank game, done better, done by people who presumably are not communist-sympathising accept-no-criticisms tw*ts, with better solutions, better and new everything you can think of. It could have been a chance do to a different, fresh tank game. Instead we get a f*cking copy of WoT. Reheated potatoes from last night's dinner. No matter how much Jingles, and others, point out the subtle differences between this and WoT - you get the same old broken sh*t: idiotic spotting system, artillery, 15 players per team and ONLY TWO teams (why not 3 or 4 teams? variety, you know), exactly the same UI, sixth sense (now doesn't require a perk), same crappy arcade-y feel. It's pathetic, and a waste of time. War Thunder Ground Forces, which has its own problems, at least tried a different route from WoT - you know you will get a different experience when you switch from WoT to WT:GF. Better, worse, but different. Even the aiming reticle here looks like the Jimbo crosshair from WoT. What a waste.

[@omegaepsilonNA]

I agree, easy is way too easy, but I found medium not much better. Hard is better, but the AI isn't really smarter, they just throw better tanks at you (I think). I was in my AMX 10P with some tier 4s and we kept running into M1 Abrams tanks on a few maps. There is one particular mission I remember, a night one on Ghost field, that was kinda epic. We lost badly, but it was really cool. Obsidian has a big hit here, even if the AI is kinda dumb. Once they get the AI better, it's going to be a ton of fun. I enjoy it currently. The big problem right now is the rewards: they are way too low. Right now, at tier 5 and 6, you will almost certainly lose money after ammo and consumable expenses after the 3 mission chain. The experience is also what you would get for 1 decent PVP battle (read: 3-part PVE mission = 1 PVP battle). Obsidian said they are looking to fix this. If you fail a stage, you go back to the garage. Jingles, don't use HE unless you can't pen a tank that is low health and you want to finish him off, use HEAT instead, I don't think it ever overmatches. HE does less damage than HEAT in this game oddly enough, so use HEAT instead. Also, why don't you use consumables, they are dirt cheap compared with what you earn?

[@Tonestronaut]

A few thoughts: Why give us the "Object 155" when they could just say "Here's the T-55, most-produced tank in history." Seems kind of odd to give us a prototype. On both of the oil refinery maps, the sun is coming from the north. Which hemisphere are we in? The game tells you if enemy tanks are "Fragile", "Salvaged", "Upgraded", etc., and I'm thinking, "Wow, we have some good intel!" I think it would be more realistic to keep the player guessing about the quality of the enemy tanks. Is the Briefing guy at 10:29 supposed to have a phone in his hand? The enemy counterattack could come from beyond the map borders, in addition to/instead of spawning in locations where savvy players will be waiting for them. The enemy could be using "technicals" - civilian pickup trucks with autocannons, rockets, and/or missiles, in addition to regular armored vehicles. They would be weak opponents, but they would give you more of a feeling that you're facing an irregular force. Nice to see that the low tiers are a mix of old mediums and modern lightweights, that's very realistic. I'd like to see more of that, for instance Sherman Easy Eights and T-34s at Tier 1.

[@warriormes6012]

Oh you CAN have those close PVE battles. Me and a platoonmate played one mission on medium, and it went fine. Then, for the second mission, EVERYONE else diconnected, and he lost all but 40 of his health almost immediately. 2 LAV-150s versus Leopards and M60s. We won anyway, because we were able to outmaneuver and flank the AI tanks. Yes, you can and will have that kind of battle in PVE :D

[@silbay]

Just like in any game (WoW, EQ, etc) PVE is the game format for those that want to win over and over and over. Computer AI is VERY limited and once you get a modicum of knowledge you can easily overcome any computer opponent. Yes I am sure you like it more than playing with the 12yo (mental age) morons on WoT. Of course the amatuer shit programming in WoT doesn't help and the ancient game engine is just more of the same. I can see WT and AW just totally eating WoT's lunch and the numbers on the US servers are already showing that. 20K on WoT prime time, over 40K on WT. Don't know about AW since I refuse to pay anyone to play their beta, nor will I suck them off with glorious reviews to get into their beta. If they want the brutal comments from someone that has been doing betas for everyone including Microsoft and Apple for over 2 decades than I would be invited. That will never happen with these companies, strangely WoW, EQ, MW, and others though valued my opinion.

[@TrueCanad1an]

Mhmm about your comment Jingles about the over penetration mechanic and wanting people to not only spam APCR ammo. I would be all for it it they stop tailoring the maps to heavy tank players. I do only carry around 10 APCR shot 5HE and the rest is AP. Noticed how they're removing bushes and making most maps uneven terrain. When I am playing my TD's and light tanks and the only position that I have the advantage is 350-400m away it's extremely hard for me to hit "weakpoints" on a heavy tank. I could move and find a position where I can fire on side armor with AP but the limitation of the maps prevent me. If I move up 3/4 I get spotted and die due to the lack of bushes and uneven terrain. I do what I must to cause damage and carry my team to victory. I do play mediums of all nations, 44 heavy tank (M103,Conqueror,Tog grinding to tiger 2). So don't be clamming me been a butthurt td player worldoftanks.com/community/accounts/1000210561-15th_Armored_division/?

[@ethanknight664]

Jingles you need to hire a gfx designer for intros and thumbnails (or a new one) it ould make your channel a lot more professional looking. the current intros are kind cheasy and old lookin

[@TheTfrules]

Ethan Knight Does anyone care about intros? I certainly don't

[@Ileko1]

Ethan Knight True, I agree, he should spend more effort on his 5 seconds intros than for the videos.

[@ethanknight664]

Tom Francis Its more then just intros it makes it more professional and attracts more people in

[@ethanknight664]

***** why would he need to put less effort into his videos because he pays somebody 300$ to make hundreds of thumbnails, channel art, intros and other gfx

[@Ileko1]

Ethan Knight Exactly, another spot on thing, people care more about the flashy intro rather than the content of the video. Out of control intros are where it's at, it should have million exploding particles and loud noises with jingles' name forming just like every other youtuber, so he can be original.

[@davidjorquera2500]

Seeing as most of the people in this community (that are subscribed to Jingles) play wot, world of warships, and other such games featured on this channel.. (also seeing as most people here game on their pcs) are people here like uber Pc master race or is this a genuine gaming community? ive followed this channel since wot came out for 360, I just never understood how the general community here is lol. (tbh never payed much attention). Anyways, what would you guys think about this game coming to xbone? All I've ever wanted is a modern tank game. As much as I enjoy playing wot and all, it bothers me that most of the tanks there are mostly prototypes. (MOSTLY). Anyways, what would you guys think? If you bothered reading thanks. :)

[@Elhazzared84]

The only problem AW right now has is both server wise and performance wise. I have a PC that runs most games on max settings no problem, only a few I go slightly lower than max settings. I load AW in medium setings and I get 30 FPS provided nothing is happening. Constatly dips into 20s, 10s and lower with any action going on. They really need to optimise that game badly... Then there was the lag. I was on the european server (since I'm in europe) and started with a 160 ping and I have a good fiber connection! Heck, even WoT with it's horrible connection generally stays at 60 ping. Definitly want to play AW but gonna wait until they fix out all of those problems.

[@SALordBaxter]

Some tips for playing PvE - Easy is still challenging, depending on what map you end up playing and what tanks spawn - You play three missions, not just one. Don't quit after the first one because your tank will still be locked and you can't rejoin. -AMX PAC 90s will fuck you up. Shoot them first.

[@mightymasochist]

Jingles the penetration overmatch mechanic in world of tanks: that wouldn´t stop the spam of HEAT ammo because (as far as I know) HEAT can be used against soft targets effectively. correct me if I´m wrong but HEAT wouldn´t go straight through the tank so no overmatch=T-54 drivers would still spam that stuff

[@MrSam1er]

mightymasochist Yes, heat works against soft targets in real life. But it would stop APCR spam, and maybe make people think more

[@mightymasochist]

MrSam1er the problem then is in tier 10 medium tanks that have APCR as standard ammo, and it would not change the fact that HEAT spam would remain so it wouldn´t solve the problem. most gold spam that I get afterall is HEAT ammo

[@mightymasochist]

***** but I think the problem is the gold sapm: HEAT AND APCR. to reduce that spam either reduce the penetration or reduce the damage by I don´t know 10-15% so it wouldn´t be as feasible to use. and I don´t feel APCR spam is that of a problem since APCR pen is generally lower that HEAT pen. and to top it all up:: most high tier mediums have HEAT as their premium round, and the most annoying thing I can meet in any tank with armour is T-54 spamming HEAT. generally when you see T-54 on the enemy team you can be sure that the HEAT is on...

[@MrSam1er]

mightymasochist Spaced Armor ! Put it everywhere !

[@tommeakin1732]

mightymasochist Yeah it'd only stop people using apcr so effectively, HESH and HEAT would be exactly the same

[@SgtBones]

Convinced me to send Money to Armored Warfare. Thanks Jingles for removing any doubts about this game becoming fun!

[@filipsabaric7028]

The Mighty Jingles Jingles i would like to ask a question. I dont know if you talk to the developers, but do you think they might add some of the tanks from my own country (Croatia) and former Yugoslavia? To be more specific the M84A4 Sniper, developed in the former Yugosalvia and used during the war in the '90s, and the M95 Degman, a Croatian Tank still in development. As far as i know there have only been 2 prototypes made. Do you have any information on this or do you have your personal opinion?

[@linkah]

The Mighty Jingles It's not overmatch, The bots do reduced damaged, they have different "Types" Like some are called fragile, weak, Improved, upgraded etc. So like you'll see a "Fragile T-62". Sometimes it puts it after the tank name, sometimes before. The Improved variants are monsters that do full damage+

[@ralphtaylor9968]

Hey Jingles, Another thing about PVE missions is that killing tanks doesn't (I think) get you any more rewards, unless you have a personal mission challenge such as "damage 10 tanks in the first 3 minutes of the game". You didn't mention it but individuals in the coop team can have these personal mission challenges. So often it's about avoiding the enemy to complete the objective, especially if your personal challenge is to "survive the mission with more that 75% of your hit points left". Although the rewards aren't great at the moment these PVE missions are a lot of fun. Also I hope the AI does get better. We recently won a game when the last tank in our team was hidden behind some boxes while capping. It seems that as the AI could not now "see" him, in spite of the fact they had been exchanging fire, they stopped and he was able to cap out and we won! :-)

[@scottstewart1974]

If you want to be the "Derperator" you need to forgo the waste in your gaming ambition. Sleep, food & water are distractions mmmkay.. Sex is a necessity so 25mins allocated in my schedule. You may vary such times with your commitments, but that's your sacrifice to decide. My G/F is moaning (significant other!) so my health points are plunging. Lol.

[@Rhayader007]

Yeah, Croatian army recently ordered Pz. Haub. 2000. Order made for 12 second-hand systems. Twelve units completely modernized and overhauled and three used for spare parts. Training and support trucks valued are also included. Total value is 41 million euros. To be delivered in 2015 and 2016

[@kerotomas1]

27:05 , 27:30 Jingles, just remember to not fire HEAT when you trying to pen enemy tanks behind light cover (fences, pipes, wood etc,) cuz you know HEAT explodes on contact just like normal HE, but if you fire AP or APCR you can hit the tank behind it easily :)

[@hauitsme5678]

Another grind festing game. I presume the maps aren't available/open to be scouted by new players so they can learn the terrain/landscape for themselves before the SLAUGHTER begins. It's why I quit WoT before I even got started to grind out new vehicles - the 'veteran' players have the lay of the land knowing where to go and where NOT to go - which you don't - resulting in almost instant death once the game starts - over and over again. NOT my idea of 'fun'.

[@marshal1808]

Hey Jingles great video, I hope they improve the PVE more, it will be great for those times where PVP gets really frustrating.

[@sd501st5]

Yep, clearly spelled out objectives(and I dont mean things like capture that arbitrary circle to win) that actually make a difference INSIDE of the match are the kind of thing I would really like to see in War Thunder as well... stick together, do your job dependant on the type of plane/tank that you fly/drive. Sounds much more interesting than the same old team-deathmatch again and again, doesn't it?

[@patrickouellet6263]

Hey Jingles, i have a few comments, one, no the progression is better in PvP because you do a bit less than PVP in PVE for 3 times longer matches (since you do 3 missions and the 3 combined gives you about the same amount as a not so great match of PVP. Also yesterday I was with 4 other friends so we played PvE and we tried hard. Not much better enemy on hard, just more enemy than medium. If you ever want to try a Hard game Jingle just hit me up on NA server im Lazypete. We have a TS that Ill give you and we can go for a few rounds of Hard PvE.

[@landshark7.629]

Do you know what is missing in all these shooting games? Teaching Muzzle Culture. If you aim at your allies or just sweep them with your gun you should get a red signal and lose points and money. In WOT for example; shooting up churches and temples, trashing your own base and fuel trains, driving over graves and puppy houses should cost you all honorable medals, disconnected from chat and gone from the mini map. No f7 for you.

[@brambijdevaate7978]

So.. I got a dual core cpu running at 2.6Ghz , 8gb ram ddr3 1600mhz, and a MSI R7 260X with 7gb memory, and I run AW on lowest settings 29fps. What can I do to improve this fps?

[@BaconSarnie1701]

Damnit, why do I find out about this game after the beta sign up has closed and then you have codes to give away and I miss them by a day.... No fair.....

[@iceshadow207]

I'm happy to see that many people have positive feedback for the PvE missions. For me it was a pretty disappointing experience and I will not play them for now. The two major problems I have with them is that the bots are terrible and the reward is too low. I've spent the equivalent of more than two PvP battles time wise in a PvE battle only to get 2% towards the T-72. That is very low, in PvP I can get up to 7% in a good battle. So, if it's not rewarding, is it fun? Well, for me, no. The bots represent no threat, they are simply target practice. The only challenge was to kill more of them than my team mates. They didn't even had some basic "knowledge" like point your armor towards the enemy, they simply sat there sideways, fired from time to time and usually missed. Of course this is just the first iteration and things will change, but for now there is no point for me in playing them.

[@TokranInami]

Jingles, your mixing up overmatch and overpenetration here. Overmatch means your penetration/calibre is high enough to pen even a very steep angles. Overpenetration means your shell passed right through. On topic: i was really excited about AW PvE, unfortunately i cant share your high opinion (yet). Yes, it has great potential, but in its current stage its not very good in my opinion. - rewards are very poor compared to PvP (at least at t4-5, thats what i have been playing) - it gets boring pretty fast, because there are only a few missions and the bots react the same every time, wich is increased by the fact that... - the AI is pretty bad. Bots dont take cover, they dont turn their front towards you, they react very slowly to flanking, if at all - a large part of the playerbase is still not able to cope with the "challenge" on medium, let alone higher, difficulty

[@GameFanism]

I am not a famous KZbin super star so I had to pay for a Founders Pack to get in. I bought the $15 pack. I have been playing off and on since early access 1. So far I am not impressed. I know the game is still in early access so I think I will stay away till it is fully polished up and ready for the public. I don't enjoy testing games, I don't care for the game in it's current state. The one problem I do have is performance. I have to play on low settings mostly and the game looks rough. I just bought a new PC and installed a GPU and a power supply. I won't be buying new hardware for this game. I think they made a mistake using Cryengine and it will bite them in the ass in the long run. Cryengine is a demanding engine. Too demanding for a free to play game in a market made up of casuals with really low end PC's. My setup plays mostly anything I throw at it but play this game like garbage. Knowing the average WoT players computer, I feel sorry for any of them that try to play this game.

[@mitchelloates9406]

Here's a question for one of your Mingles episodes - it seems of late that many new online games are adding single player/PvE/offline modes - Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, AW, and WoWS off the top of my head - and not just tacked on as an afterthought, but an integral part of the game, and engaging enough to be quite enjoyable on their own - do you think that this is in response to players becoming fed up with the toxic element that seems to inevitably develop in online PvP games - or is it that advances in computers and software have simply made better AI modes possible?

[@yoshi542]

Once they iron out the kinks like really low reward scaling, lackluster AI difficulty, and implementation of "boss" level vehicles that may force players to play smarter. Then I think PvE will be quite awesome. But right now, it's at a very simple introductory state that needs a lot of work in the coming months.

[@HikaruKatayamma]

Jingles, With over penetration in Wold of Warships, do you think they might add it to WoT?

[@OofBerry1]

Hopefully

[@DoctoEris]

Hikaru Katayamma heh it might piss off people

[@ziyuxue6086]

Maybe, but something's been troubling me about it... After the shell penetrated the armour, it then must pass through the engine and ammunition and stuff... So unless there's like a 100mm penetration difference, I get the feeling that most shells won't fly in one side and out the other... Though light tanks may be vulnerable.

[@andrewhaley6932]

Hikaru Katayamma probably not. They probably just want to hand off as many players as possible to AW. But really, it seems like it is a whole different company running WOWS and WOT. The WOWS devs are actually getting stuff done.

[@ElvenMans]

ziyu xue Yea, it's interesting how people think, that tanks are just an armored shell, with air inside it, when talking about over penetration. In some cases i guess it could go throu the tank, but it would be rare imo.

[@atn1290]

The limit of platoon members is 3 in WoT? WoT Xbox Edition used to have 8 player platoon testing. It's set it 5 as of now. 5 Waffles, 5 ELCS, 5 E-100s, and 5 Maus' ;P

[@UltraViper2005]

Couple of things, Jingles: - What you thought were incoming missiles was actually artillery. On-screen indicator says what's what. - When you fail a PvE mission at any point in the mission series, the series ends and you have to queue for a new series. Just FYI.

[@mikemullen8174]

People are focuing the PVE and missing what may be far more importantin terms of gameplay; the overmatch mechanism. As Jingles said that simple thing makes such a differnce and syrely wouldn't be beyond WG to introduce, in fact they sort of have in WoWS.

[@9Firedrake9]

I think that if obsidian had tanks drop out of a c-130 with parachutes or being dropped off by helicopters, that would be really cool. Maybe for a mission they could have an objective where if you don't complete it fast enough, you are attacked by helicopters and have to retreat, or more tanks spawn, forcing you to retreat and try to conserve your health for the next mission. What do you guys think?

[@SALordBaxter]

It's not overmatching jingles, at least not in the way World of Warships does it. The damage enemy tanks do, their penetration, and the health they have depends on their tier and quality. Their tier doesn't have any relation to the tech tree either, you came across quite a few tier 1 M60s. Selecting higher difficulty missions or having higher tier players on your team increases the damage tanks do by a lot. High tier/quality PT-76s are frustrating because of their rate of fire and how stupid it feels to be constantly penetrated from the front by one.

[@HaloFTW2408]

The Mighty Jingles What are your thoughts on the penetration Nerf that is coming in 9.X (they haven't specified which version it will be implemented), in which basically all the tier X mediums, a fair few of the tier IX mediums and some tier VIII mediums are having either there standard, premium or both rounds penetrations nerfed? From what I've seen, the centurion 7/1 is being nerfed hard, to the point where it may be one of the worst tier IX mediums.

[@dyroxium]

T90 and Panzerhowitzer 2000 at tier 8? wat? The only way I can see that working out is if the T90 is actually the original T72BU and then the higher tiers go to T90S or something. What's the top tier going to be? Armata?

[@mrben2868]

Really like the look of this. To be honest, the PvP side of AW really hasn't rocked my boat so far. It's just too campy for my taste. If they are also planning more PvE mission types then this could really be the thing that makes AW great. Gonna log in now and smack me some bots!

[@hiltibrant1976]

The AI does seem to play rather intelligently at times - just lost a mission to AI where I was the last enemy tank,while the final wave of enemies spawned. Had to sit it cap and hope to weather them out, but the M60 rushed into cap and killed me when the cap was up to 90%... from a totally unexpected direction. Although, the AI prioritzes targets rather poorly so far.

[@piritskenyer]

Dear jingles, Have you ever thought of expanding your operations, either by having some kind of background staff (someone to do the edits while you are shooting footage from another game for example) or by pairing up with another broadcaster to share the workload with? I thought about this question because you said how every patch came out in the same time period, and you couldn't give attention to all of them at once.

[@unclevony5451]

One thing keep caught my eye in armored warfare is the weather.It's raining, it's snowing, there's fog and everything. Uncle likes.Uncle wants more.In other games. Wonder does it affect visual/detecting range. Would be nice.

[@rancidmarshmallow4468]

Also, untrue. WoT has single player pve missions. One. That gives a small reward the first time you do it. And the funny thing is, you have almost certainly played it, but don't remember. (Tutorial)

[@xnj_]

I really wish WoT had a campaign mode with progressing through tanks as you go and being able to unlock the tanks you play campaign in, and PvE and stuff like that. More options to make credits/experience.

[@Basih]

I want this PvE in world of tanks, would be fun if they re-created the battle of kursk for example.

[@grimreaper3882]

I agree on the fact that because the enemy is actually smart you can play your role smartly and as it is used to be. I am sick and tired of world of tanks for example where mediums, lights and somethimes even td's are useless. A medium tank is made to go around, flank, use blind spots and so on. And I am good at that. But that never actually works because there is always some idiot in a top tier heavy camping behind and because of it's stupidity gets the luck to shoot you in the ass while you do stuff by the book. The stupidity is forcing you to play stupid. So an AI battle is a very good stuff. On the other hand I am scared of the side effects and what they might bring. People might (and if they can they will) abuse this to get xp and money to unlock god knows what tier tank and after that they go in PvP with it and the have no frikin idea what they are doing because they are not used to it. I really hope the developers then will not turn this mode in a fun only where you get almost no xp and money just so people won't abuse it. They can really easy limit the 2 sides of the players by for example not letting you play PvP at a certain tier only after an exact number of battles. But my experience with multiplayer games says that that is not going to happen and the developers will just screw it up in a way or another.

[@Dreamw4lk3r]

Is that the same BMPT from the founders pack? (Terminator Tier 6?) Or a different one? Curious to know if it still is as "exclusive" as they want us to believe...

[@Schmeethe88]

M109 Paladin!!! If it's the A6 model, I can play in the vehicle I work with in real life! Awesome! Now we'll have to see if the ingame stats match up with the crews I work with :)

[@ROFLtheWAFL]

I really hope this game gets optimized a lot more, or a 'lower fidelity' client is released. Because I can run WoT just fine, but get only 15-20 fps in Armored Warfare
