One thing Jingles fails to realise is that even with the ammunition buff, it's still impossible to kill all tanks in a practical scenario. 20 rounds of ammunition is simply not enough in the 1v29 games that are ever so common in random battles.

[@lesnainss]

According to Wikipedia, Finland bought 30 Panzer IV in 1944 (only 15 delivered), so there might have been a couple on the Mannerheim Line fighting the Russians.

[@The_MightyJingles]

Aha, that was news to me. Thanks.

[@giga141]

The Mighty Jingles but the 15 delivered were only used in Lapland war against the GERMANS! So more confusement.

[@lesnainss]

Hmm. The plot thickens...

[@11DNA11]

And actually Jingles... Germans also provided a ton of Stug III's to Finland during the Continuation War. Which we ended up using against them in the Lapland War.

[@ClodiusP]

However the Winter War was over well before this purchase.

[@terokoskinen3036]

To add to the complexity of history, Mannerheim also served in Russian army before becoming the commander of the Finnish army. But that was the Imperial Russian army and not the Soviet army the Mannerheim Line was constructed to defend against. Are we confused yet? :D edit: And about that Panxer IV wreck in the map. During the Continuation War against the Soviets (June 1941 - September 1944) Finland bought 15 Pz IV Ausf J:s from Germany, so those tanks could have appeared in the map, even though in practise the tanks never got to see action in that front.

[@teme82]

And Mannerheim wasn't a Swede he was born in Askainen back in the day when Finland was part of Russia. He was part of the Swedish speaking Finns. Jingles next time do the fact lookup better. I know that you seen the Wiki page, you took the picture from there...

[@saggi201]

He doesnt have any finnish ancestry

[@vonJosephu]

And he was the only one to be a general on both sides in WWI

[@ericmyrs]

I watched TIKs episode on Mannerheim, so no, I'm not confused.

[@StelzCat]

To add insult to an injury, Finns sided with Germany in WW2 (albeit under pressure and not until the end of it) so there were a plenty of German tanks in and around Finland at that time.

[@SteceSama]

you *may* fire when ready... on the 1st of *may* .. oh man

[@Halkomahooli]

Actually Jingles! Mannerheim was born in Finland (born 4 June 1867) when Finland (Finland became part of Russia in 1809) was part of Russia so he'd be Russian. He also server in Russian army. BUT he choose return to Finland when Finland declared itself independent and that way he got Finnish citizenship. Yes his familys aristochratic roots are in Sweden but that doesn't make him a Swedish person. Oh and his ancestor emigrated to Sweden from Germany... so... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Gustaf_Emil_Mannerheim I suggest you read the wiki on him :) And one more thing, Finland did have Panzer IV tanks during WW2, though none made it to the eastern front, so a fair point that none of them should be on that Mannerhein Line map. But they were "used" in some extend when Finland had to drive out the Germans from Lapland after the peace treaty with the Soviets in 1944-45, a war called Lapland War. Cheers!

Jingles you also did not notice but the 1 shot he "missed" at the start he hit the caernarvon and did like ~700 dmg.

Jingles, put your shotgun away and listen carefully because I say this only once: Carl Gustaf was named after factory → Carl Gustaf Stads Gevärsfaktori. Name of that factory means "Weapons Factory of Carl Gustaf's town" and refers to the Eskilstuna town which received city privileges from Swedish king Karl X Gustav. It means that Carl Gustaf was named after Swedish king, not Swedish baron.

I don't know Jingles, though the FV 4005 might be the size of the Eiffel Tower and it has armor that a person's fart could penetrate, it has good mobility and it has a 180 degree firing arc, and that AP round ... Still, though I would have liked to have gotten the FV 215B 183, the FV 4005 doesn't look that bad to me, not to mention the Charioteer and the Conway are on the way to it, both of which I am eager to get, especially the Charioteer; a cromwell with a tier 10 medium tank gun? Yes please. However, I am glad that I managed to get the Foch 155 before it became a reward-ish tank; ammo racking Wz 111-14s by firing HE at their undercarriage is quite fun I have to admit.

Hey, he did add the disclaimer that the name simply stuck, and that it's not shit anymore. It absolutely 100% used to be complete shit though. The aimtime, mobility, even the reload used to be far worse. That thing was absolute shit. No armor and bad camo means it's only good in situations where you can pop out and ambush when enemies are distracted/reloading, but the old mobility and weapon handling meant you had to sit in the open for AGES waiting for it to aim before you could fire. It was shit.

[@burnstick1380]

HE(SH) doesnt lose pen ;)

[@Th3HuntingShadow]

There are some areas around the gun mantlet that he could've penned, especially under the mantlet. Or Hesh just did its thing and penned the roof

[@jameshanks5417]

high explosive shells dont lose penetration over distance. Also it is entirely possible he didnt penetrate fully, even if the angle of the armor allowed for greater than 230 plus or minus 25% massive damage would still be dealt. Ex. KV2 152mm gun 86mm penetration HE, hits a tiger 100mm front hull armor flat 300 to 600 damage could still be expected.

[@piggy201]

The concern wasnt with losing pen at distance, rather that penetrating Lowe with 230 frontally with the limited ability to aim at weakpoints at the distance is very lucky. Also I am pretty sure it had to be a pen, not just splash.

[@timeforgottenprince8271]

HESH, like HE and HEAT, often travel at a significantly slower velocity than any type of AP and APCR. Because of this, they tend to have to be fired in an arc. What most likely happened was that the HESH either hit a part of the Lowe's turret that was flat, or it hit the upper glacis, but because of the arc causing the shell to land from above, enough of the sloping of the upper glacis was negated to allow the HESH shell to pen for full damage. Oh, and of course, rng gave him enough pen to go through in the first place.

Jingles, the Finns operated Panzer IVs. Not in the Winter War, but as the Mannerheim line shifted into Soviet hands during the Karelian Offensive it's not impossible to see a Panzer IV there. Also, Mannerheim was born in Askainen, Finland when it was in the Russian Empire as the Grand Duchy of Finland. His ancestor was from Germany and emigrated to what was the Swedish Empire, which later became part of the Russian Empire and then finally Finland. Now that we've toured Europe, let's all go to Moscow and pick up some vodka while we're at it.

Mannerheim was Finnish. Swedish-finnish as most of the elite in Finland was in those days, but Finnish none the less.

Well Finland did buy some Panzer IVs towards the end of the war. Whether they were ever present on the Mannerheim line is another question though. Knowing that most maps are a collection of different elements inspired by actual objects (long time ago Wargaming even made several articles showing real life objects that served as an inspiration for pre-1.0 Ensk and Himmelsdorf) rather than exact representation of particular place, i would guess that "38_mannerheim_line" doesn't mean anything more than "Finnish-themed map". That's why it remains but an internal name for the map file.

Mannerheim was born in Finland, during the time when it was a Russian Grand Duchy, as part of the Swedish speaking minority. He got his military training and served for the Russian army for thirtry years until Finland got tired of being Russians and left. I just finished reading the book "Finlands sex krig" ("Finlands six wars", only avaiable in Swedish I think.) about Mannerheim and Finlands history as a free and independent country. He fought for Russia in the war between Russia and Japan and later the first World War before he left for Finland and fought agains the Soviet Union in two wars and against Gemany later on. I can recomend the movies "Framom främsta linjen" (English title "Beyond enemy lines"), "Tali-Ihantala 1944" and "Talvisota" ("The winter war") as quite good films made in Finland about the war.

[@Malhadras]

About Mannerheim... While his ancestry has roots in German and emigrated to Swedish Empire, He was NOT a Swedish... he was born in Finland (at that time, Finland was the Grand Duchy of the Russian Empire). He begun his military career serving in Russian army fighting in Russo-Japanese War 1904 and during WW1 he fought against the Austro-Hungarians. He became a high ranking officer in the Russian military and eventually became part of the Imperial entourage (being appointed in such roles as Commander of the Life Guard Uhlan Regiment of His Majesty and a cavalry Brigade Commander). He also made a long (explorationar) trip to inner Mongolia by the request of the Chief of the Russian General Staff... When Finns declared independency in 1917 (in the wakes of the Russian Revolution), a Civil War broke among the Finns, and Mannerheim who had returned to Finland (since he didn't see a future in the new Russia) was appointed to lead the "Whites" - and eventually led them to the victory (if you can call anyside a victor in civil war). Mannerheim had many disagreements with finnish cabinets in 1930s and was about to resign, but withdrew the resignation as the negotiations with Russia broke down in 1939. He was leading the Finnish army during the Winter War (1939-1940) and the Continuation War (1941-1944) against the Russians and the Lappland War (1944-1945) against the Germans. He was the President of Finland from 1944-1946 - reluctantly. The term was for 6 years, but he was old and had health issues and in 1946 he resigned. Finally he moved to Switzerland for health reasons and to write his memoirs (which I highly recommend if you can get a copy, as it has lot about the time before ww2 (such as the expedition and serving in Russian (imperial) Army) . He has an impressive list of decorations including the 1st and 2nd Class of the Mannerheim Cross (of course), Order of St.George Knight 4th Class (Russia) and even a GBE (UK). And finally - about the Mannerheim-line... Here's a short quote from the Wikipedia - and is true: "Both Finnish and Soviet propaganda considerably exaggerated the extent of the line's fortifications: the former to improve national morale, the latter to explain their troops' slow progress against the Finnish defences. Subsequently, the myth of the "heavily fortified" Mannerheim Line entered official Soviet war history and some western sources. The vast majority of the Mannerheim Line was merely composed of trenches and other field fortifications. Bunkers along the line were mostly small and thinly spread out; the Line had hardly any artillery.

[@Tanker-1651mkf]

Mannerheim was Finnish and spoke swedish, he also was presiden in Finland from 1944-1946. And by the way finding Finns speaking Swedish is like finding canadians speaking frensh.

[@Sarsol1989]

Jingles, Im pretty sure Germans supplied the Finns with some armor as well as other equipment. Not 100% sure about the winter war, but certainly by the time of continuation war, thats why they were fighting with StuGs by that time. That could certainly explain Panzer (fighting around that area toward middle/end of WWII).

Actually Jingles! Mannerheim is one of the most famous Swedish-speaking Finns, alongside i.e. Jean Sibelius (Composer of Finlandia). I'm a Swedish speaking Finn. Our mother tongue is Swedish but we strongly identify with Finland, it's just a language minority and hence why Finland has two official languages (Finnish & Swedish). He is most often voted "The most important Finn of all time." Calling us Swedes is just a way to get our jimmies rustled! Swedes is just something we beat in hockey.

Another funny thing is when he said good news the 212 died overturning himself as well so more good than bad at that point.

Correction Finland received 15 simplified versions of Panzer IV Ausf.Js by 1944 from Germany, but if i recall right those were deployed up north.

Last time i was this early, jingles still played World of tanks

By the way, no one seems to realize that the first and only potentially "missed" shot at the beginning against the Löwe in fact didnt miss, but hit a Caernarvon which was unspotted in the background.

Watching things get death star'd. Always satisfying

[@agoodman1776]

Achtchually Jingles, Germany did export about 300 Panzer IVs to Finland. And their color scheme isn't too different, not sure if the Finns used Schürzen though(which this knocked out Panzer has); so it may be historically accurate after all.

Good video Jingles, I liked the brief history lesson at the end. thank you for sharing. Matt C

I can't resist but Finland had purchased and received 15 Panzer 4's in 1944. Not sure if they saw combat when the Russian attacked and breached the Mannerheim line but Finland did have them.

[@magisterrleth3129]

The reason there are so many Progettos spagetting about: 1, it's a new premium, 2, of a new nation, 3, it was FREEEEEEEEEEE(!).

Mr. Mighty Jingles, Mannerheim was a Finn not a Swede. There happen to be about 300K Finnish citizens who are like Mannerheim, Finnish by birth, Swedish is the mother tongue and have Swedish sir-names. On the other side of the coin, there are about the same number of Swedish citizens whose mother tongue is Finnish. Love your content.

Jingles, Finland had Panzer 4 J. They didn't see action against russians but saw actions durint the lapland war against the germans. Also the map design might be inspired by Salpa Linja , that run from south to north, and north is in lapland so...loop holes and plausabilities...

[@fdist04]

omg, i was a player who stopped playing in 2016, and now I don't even recognize Mannerheim line anymore, it took me until 1:56

[@rodofiron100]

There's a great Finnish movie (English subtitles) about the find trying to defend against the Russians, has them using stuggs to nock out is1s and kv2s which they then repair and use against the Russians. It's on KZbin if anyone wants to look for it.

[@Mighty_Ogrelord]

Akshiualy Mr. Jingles, G.W. stands for Gerätewagen. You may fire at me when ready now.

[@stigchristensen2597]

it is true that the finnish army build the mannerheim line in the start of the war, so why is there a Panzer IV on the line. between the first winter war and the continuation-war the finns received a lot of german weapons and material including a number of Stug III and panzer IV tanks, this is perhaps the reason for a panzer IV to be on this map

[@The_MightyJingles]

I was under the impression that Germans sent StuGs because they'd refused to spare any Panzers. Hence my surprise at seeing a knocked out Panzer on the map.

[@stigchristensen2597]

its just a suggestion to the reason for the panzer IV to be on the map. it is true that the stug was more prominent in finnish service then the panzer IV but acording to my sources the finnish took delivery of 15 vehicles. they were in finnish inventory until 1962. PS as a former solider myself struggling with severe PTSD i very much enjoy your videos

[@stigchristensen2597]

nope Nikola in my case Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. not a Russian anti tank rifle

[@glensullivan5737]

Might be true, but it would be a Pz IV B or C, not the E/F long Barrelled variants

[@stigchristensen2597]

according to sources it was Panzer IV J ´s the.shadock.free.fr/Surviving_Panzer_IV.pdf
