[@jannegrey593]

When you said he will have something dirty for later, I kind of assumed it was Yamamoto. Probably the best captain in the game for players who can sink so many ships.

[@MichaelDYoung-gi4si]

well at least until the Americans 🇺🇸 ambush him and shoot down his plane in effect exciting him with some intercepted intelligence and a few P-38s...

[@skunky1-1]

I saw the pennant and knew it was Yamamoto

[@dzello]

Even for good players, it's not the best captain. Maybe 10% of my Yamamoto Krakens had an outcome changed by the fact I was running Yamamoto. Meanwhile, I would've done more with any other captain.

[@jannegrey593]

@@dzello Perhaps. It seems though than when he is really needed, he is very useful. I mean it's like 48% heal from memory. Regardless of damage. Though indeed it's hard to get Kraken at time when it is most needed - unless you have a DD with torps and 3 kills and manage to get between 2 big ships, then you have decent chance of getting Kraken and that heal. Sadly though for some DD's the faster reload doesn't do as much as it should, due to latency. And agreed that he isn't the best captain. Or rather not very well rounded. He is either super useful or not useful at all.

[@dzello]

@@jannegrey593 Yamamoto is a ''bait''. His buffs look amazing, but when you take everything into account, he is garbage. Things like: If you don't take a lot of damage, you don't really get healed. If you get a Kraken Unleashed, the game is most likely over already. Even if the game isn't over, it's possible that the buffs don't change the outcome anyways (you would win/lose with or without the buffs). First Blood gives a consumable, but due to few consumables with long reloads, you often don't get a lot of benefits from this. Krakens aren't that common meaning most of the times, you don't get anything. Etc etc. In the end, the French legendary commander would be multiple times better for the IJN. For example, tcfreer would've done everything in this video if he could run Auboyneau on his ship.

4:11 The enemy Nürnberg in chat: "This ship has shait armor" - No dude, you're wrong. This ship has NO armor xD

[@MrMrtommy]

Yeah but I think it is still a solid ship. With a concealment build you can rain HE from a distance. Plus the turret layout make it an excelent kiting ship. I enjoy it so much I have not moved to the Yorck because I know its a heavy cruiser

[@SmokeJam]

@@MrMrtommy The Yorck wants to call itself a heavy cruiser. The only difference between her and the Nürnberg: While the Nürnberg just laughs at BBs trying to citadel it and getting overpens everywhere, the Yorck actually can get citadelled xD

[@Asianese]

The Kamikaze R was actually a free premium you got for doing since charity missions I believe. Everyone and their mum had one of these back in the day. And it actually used to be worse than the Minekaze since that had 10km torps. So it only really became overpowered after the ijn dd reworked.

[@WhimsicalPacifist]

I preferred the 7km torpedoes. Faster, and iirc more damage. However what made the Minekaze better than the Fujin/Kamikaze (pre-nerf) was the speed; could get into positions and swap from a target Cleveland's starboard to port all in the time it took to reload.

[@mihaildimitrov1149]

[@diegowushu]

Ah yes, devstriking new players in one of the most broken botes in the game. What a hero.

[@samuelgordino]

Actually I think the kamikaze R was first. I remember I earned mine, the minekaze wasn't nerfed yet. And you couldn't buy it , you need to do a mission. But it was a long time ago.

[@alcibiadesW]

Yes, collecting the pearls. Too long ago for distinct memories to remain. But there was a lot of pain involved.

[@secuter]

Gotta admit, that the game looks nice, and I'm inclined to try and play it. However, I've played World of Tanks for several years, and I know of WG's shitty methods - like nerfing a ship and immediately introducing the over powered version as a premium. I'm just so done with that type of shitty business. It's WG, not the game itself that is keeping me from playing it.

[@MrGrim2u1987]

spot on, but do not forget Russian bias ^^

[@frosty3693]

Especially now that WG is trying to shoehorn subs into the game. Eveybody is a beta tester right now. The sub in this match was not very good, as it seems the rest of his team.

[@BobFeiring]

WG sells OP premium ships, then nerfs them.

[@dillfrill10]

I'd have to agree. Once you have knowledge of shitty practice, it's near impossible to forget it or ignore future instances. It also doesn't help that this has been going on for so long that they're now beating the horse's gravestone. Maybe unrelated, but the MOST fun I've ever had playing WoWs was during the Big Hunt event, and part of me wonders what the player base was like before, during, and after that event.

[@grandadmiralraeder9608]

yeah well wait for Steam And Steel - it's currently in the design stage and will hopefully be launched as a rival in a few years the idea for the project came from an Ex-WoWs CC (iEarlGrey)

[@ΔημήτρηςΠολάλης]

I think «Kamikaze R» was the first iteration of «Minekaze» and was given for free as a contest prize, at least you had to finish quite a few missions first in order to get it. A few months later it was sold in the store as «Kamikaze», I don't remember when «Fujin» was introduced.

[@EricDKaufman]

I've never seen a Fujin played so well. And Iso-Krazy and Minekaze and Kamikaze are glorious ships.

[@knallis2969]

Well, i am an ordenary player in Fujin. I have 282 games in it and have a top dmg ar 227000. And that is not close to the top players.

0:18 "...in a Tier 5 battle..." meanwhile 6 out of 12 ships are Tier 6 🤣

[@martynjones3978]

Just to check my crusty old brain cells Jingles… i think the Kamikaze R was a reward ship that came first for the pearls event which you had to grind and earn the pearls. People complained it was unfair that a percentage of people had this overpowered ship. So WG renamed the original ship kamikaze R - R being reward, then released the ship again as the Kamikaze with a different camo in the shop. Then realised there mistake after selling enough to get there coin income lol and pulled it from the shop for being over powered. Then came the supposedly nerfed “Fujin” which they claimed was an alternative to the tech tree ship!! But being a DD main i love all the ships i earned the reward Kamikaze R back in the pearl event and then got the other ships thru the Christmas boxes. Yes i hold my hands up i am a dirty rotten scoundrel as i play all the ships once a week, we all need a little fun in WOW’s 🙄🙄😂😂😂

[@Ryuk1shi]

Thank you for writing this out - was getting agitated when he claimed I was a filthy ship-buyer for having my Kamikaze R. We had to work really hard for that ship!

[@martynjones3978]

@@Ryuk1shi its jingles he is getting long in the tooth lol, if honest WG has fluffed so many over powered ships since the games release. If you did not do the hard work grinding to get the Kamikaze R most wont know its origins and i think old WOW’s players from Beta onwards are starting to thin out and become rear like the this ship!!

[@bfrobin446]

Out of all of the versions of this ship, the Fujin irritates me the most because it’s one of the most Chinese-sounding Japanese names in the game. At least once I’ve mistaken one for a pan-Asian destroyer, charged its smoke in a gunboat DD expecting deep-water torpedoes, and eaten a Type 92 or three.

[@nemlas85]

yea, it can be confused with Fushun if you don't read its name carefully and don't have an opportunity to see its concealment range / non-dw torps

[@jmackmcneill]

I've done exactly the same thing... "Wait!!! Those aren't deep water torps!!!"

[@JJW3]

"Fujian" is a province in China, so it does seem very similar to a Chinese name.

[@Rex_Nichts]

Well, technically speaking, the Japanese do use Chinese as a language. They have a writing system called Kanji, which literally means Chinese characters. So you're technically not wrong lmao

[@matthiasbecker5064]

Video started, I see the Fujin and Kamikaze and think "seal clobber" :D

[@OldRhino]

My reaction was puppy kicker😂

[@AllAhabNoMoby]

I always check if players are flying the flag of a unique captain. So when Jingles said it was gonna get worse, I knew a Kraken was coming. ;)

[@Yuzral]

Erm…actually Jingles, the Fujin came out for Halloween 2015 with Kamikaze R appearing in January 2016’s Project R event. Kamikaze did have one last hurrah around the IJN DD split on 30th Nov 2016 but I’m pretty sure she’d been on sale at various times before that. And they aren’t clones of Minekaze, they were slightly slower and have worse AA. So nobody liked them at first… … …Jingles?

[@UnicornGamingRX03]

It was a time back in the early days of WOT in the Asia server when platoon up with 3x PzIIJ's in tier three. This was when the PzIIJ was only obtainable through the bonus code, the code had to be manually put in through WG asia staff since the code only worked on EU/NA/RU. So it was a dopamine effect when your top tier with 3x PzIIJ's when barely anyone has them in asia before WG had them on the premium shop many years later from that. Also the BT-SV was a good tier 3 light tank for zippng about in more open maps due to the speed.

[@jkausti6737]

Did Jingles just call Isoroku Yamamoto a "filthy piece of unwashed laundry"?

[@kumarsalib722]

[@montro2220]

Because they are good ships and WG needs to make a buck.

The Fujin definitely has one thing going over the Kamikaze, though: its name is way cooler sounding. "God of Wind". At least IMHO!

[@Doom1981]

Hi Jingles, I believe your chronology is a little off, Kamikaze, then Fujin followed by the Kamikaze (R), and there was a tiny difference to the pre nerf minekaze. The Kamikaze and Fujin DDs are 37 knots fast, the original Minekaze had a top speed of 39 kn

[@IIIJG52]

IIRC Kamikaze was released before they nerfed Minekaze. Because i remember thinking: " Why on EARTH would i buy that, when i can have the same thing for free ???" And then they nerfed the Minekaze and removed it from sale. Now i need to sealclub in ARP Kongo :( Or Normandie, or Mutsu or West Virginia. Its surprising how many premiums you can get without buying any of them :D

[@moritzczauderna5562]

[@The_Ossifrage]

Akshuwally Jingles, the Kamikaze R and Fujin were released before the Minekaze nerf, as an exclusive reward ship and Halloween premium ship respectively. They were actually worse than the tech tree Minekaze, and thus no one cared. It was only after the nerf that people realised how overpowered these little monsters were. The regular Kamikaze, and the Kamikaze R re-run sales, were a definite cash grab by WG though, as they came after the nerf and well into the hype part of the timeline.

Playing the Fujin and other torpedo boats can be challenging where an enemy sub is spotting for an enemy gunboat. So, you've lost most of your advantage. And we all know that DDs should be best at ASW, but in this game they are the worst.
