[@Maraudmania]

@Tobias Time I am. In general Asashio players are above average skill. This guy however, all of the indicators of someone who has no idea of how to play a torp-boat in general and this ship in particular. No real idea if what a destroyer is supposed to do in game.

[@andrew_42069]

Hi Jingles, I just wanted to say hi. I don't think I've ever left a comment on a video, but you were one of the very first KZbinrs I ever subscribed to, and your videos have always been comforting to listen to, especially when I was going through tough times.

[@TheGuy89007]

I must say the same. He was the reason Wows was the first game I ever installed on my PC and I watched his videos for years before I even got a PC that would run wows. If you see this Mr.Jingles thank you for many many laughs and good times. Cheers!

[@primaltempest9218]

As an owner of an Asashio, I can confirm that the aim assist of the torps goes see through when you target ships that you can't hit.

[@Ushio01]

Alas the current torpedo bug since the last patch means that a Shima firing torpedoes at an island that is 5km away means your lucky if 1 out of 15 hits.

[@RustyWalker]

I couldn't resist looking to see if there were any Angela Merkel jokes. None of them tie in to WoWS yet, but this one did make me laugh: Donald Trump, Angela Merkel, the Pope and a little girl are on a crashing plane. But there are only three parachutes. So Angela Merkel takes one, saying: "I'm really important so I should live." Donald Trump takes one, saying: "I'm the world's cleverest man, I should live!" But the Pope says to the little girl: "You're a young child, you're more important than me." But the girl says: "It's ok, the world's cleverest man just jumped off with my rucksack."

You would be amazed how many Asashio players don’t know their torps can only hit BBs and CVs, I have been called a cheater more than a few times by Asashio players because I rushed them in a DD or cruiser and was weirdly immune to their torps.

[@danielwarren7110]

I love my Asashio, a i think partly i like it because players do not expect me to be any good in it, in ranked the amount of times people have at the beginning of the match said "oh we have an asashio we have lost" and i have used it to rank out a number of times. with the right set up the guns are actually not too bad if you know how and when to use them. I have sunk every class of ship, and kiting with guns firing is a great way to get people to focus you and ignore your team mates. as well as which with 5.4km detection i can do 200k spotting damage regularly, working with a DD i can spot they can smoke and shoot, and the other person never knows i am there.

[@eliasnilsson6604]

Its also a fun ship to snipe CVs with. Bit of a gamble but still fun when you manage it early game because they dont expect to have to change their route

[@emberfist8347]

Jingles had an old video about a Paasian Destroyer which had a similar response

I always love seeing two battleships go at it at point blank range like the Slava did at the end of the game. It just looks so cool.

[@m000Theevilcow]

I sometimes fire Asashio torps into dd smoke, especially if there are some other enemies behind it, cause enemy dd might not know that they are deep water torps and might panic out of the smoke and maybe even can hit some BBs behind it.

[@roberteltze4850]

That is exactly what I was thinking. Even though they can't hit they can make your opponent dodge them. You don't lose anything by launching them unless there is a friendly BB nearby.

[@msflemin]

Exactly! When I see torps coming at me I rarely have time to consider who they came from and whether or not they are deep water or not...I am moving out of the way!

[@thevocatiousunspeakables709]

You should only do this if your torps will force enemy battleships to give broadside

[@fernandomarques5166]

This. When I still played this game I used to do this in the pan-asians. The amount of people who will panic because of the torpedo alarm sfx is surprising.

Not only does the torp indicator go hollow when you target something you cant hit, it out right tells you in English, that you cant hit this target. So every time there's an Asashio player that doesn't understand how his torps work, it's because their awareness is so bad that they're not even able to notice the words in the middle of their screen.

[@davidrichard2012]

Rear Admiral Jingles sir ,you are a well informed man with a good way to tell the story my admiration to you sir.

[@lhiannonshee]

In defense of the Asashio, at least one of his torps did, in fact, hit the Veneto. And he took the stoppers out of his guns, which I don't see a lot of IJN toprboat players do. Well played to Aron. 2x double strikes is some shit I haven't seen since a closed beta game.

[@myopicautisticmetal9035]

[@ryanbrochu3336]

True, but it was also extremely frustrating when you were the target of said friendly fire screw-ups. I once had a game with my Gneisnau on the Haven map with a south-east spawn like Aron. Unlike Aron, I spawned on the left and went left on the H-line. Right around the H4/5 divide, a enemy DD got spotted in B cap and managed to get undetected a few seconds later. About 10s later my torpedo alert goes off and I start looking for torps from the briefly spotted red DD, which shouldn't have been possible based on his course through B cap. After several seconds it hit me, figuratively and literally! A friendly ship behind me on the I-line decided to launch their torps into B cap at the enemy DD. The dipshit nailed me with 3 torps, taking about 40% of my HP.

Speaking as a new player regarding 5:15. If I see torpedoes heading in my direction I will stop attacking and move my ship to avoid getting hit. So even if they are "deep water" toperdoes and cannot do damage (to my destroyer), they can at least disrupt enemy attacks and that's a positive thing.

I think players should not be able to get a given Premium (or Special) ship until they have unlocked at least one tech tree ship of the same class and tier. By that time, the odds are they have a basic grasp of the gameplay for that class at that tier. What are the odds you don't know about the Asashio's gameplay when you've unlocked (let's say) the Kagero?

[@landochabod7]

The odds are very high: there are plenty of people sailing around in a tech tree T10 ship and no clue as to how to use it. And Kagero and Asashio actually play quite differently: their torpedoes are worlds apart.
