THE RECORD - 426,165 DMG - USS GEARING || World of Warships

[@TonboIV]

21:12 Schrodinger's Yamato?

[@TK-fk4po]

Just watching this now for the first time and I’m like WTF is he firing so much for?!? Then I realize this was when you could stealth fire. I never knew such glory in a destroyer.

[@Panzerknacker]

many have asked for a 400K dmg replay.... well, here we go ^^

[@noricardas1]

Panzerknacker this was epic .. GJ gearing

[@brainletmong6302]

500K Damage replay please ^_^

[@Dysphoricsmile]

Gets High Caliber at about 8 minutes 45 seconds into the match, yeah, BADASS!

[@Dysphoricsmile]

Panzerknacker I wonder, does he use IFHE per chance? Because he seems to do a lot of direct HE damage, but has caused few fires, even relative to the 5% fire chance the Gearing gets. I have been thinking that since the Stealth Fire nerf, that instead of getting AFT for the Gearing, that instead I should get IFHE - because IFHE REALLY helps the Atlanta deal a LOT more damage!

[@1958PonyBoy]

Look at the stats. He actually had more fire damage than from the 485 main gun hits.

[@arionaldolulcardo2754]

Great job, mate! Very well played. o7 I felt the despair of that Yamato at 20:17 when he noticed he couldn't rely on his useless CV to spot the gearing and he just fired clueless about where the DD was... that dispersion... poor yamato =)

[@eirenerodriguez9036]

Wait... Five kills but not kraken????

[@stevel6446]

You can only get kraken once every 24hrs

[@seanchen5412]

you can get the reward only once every 24 hrs, you still get the achievement every time you qualifies

[@NCC1701PS]

Something weird is going on with those end results. If you look closely, the Yamato survives by 251 HP (see 20:53). You also can see a lack of the ___ destroyed ___ indicator above the minimap. Not really sure why the end screen says he got 5 kills, but he only had 4. Note how the team lineup at 21:05 shows the yamato is still alive. There are 12 people per team, with 2 surviving on the loosing team. That means 10 were killed, but when you add up the kills scored by the winning team, there are 11 kills.

[@eirenerodriguez9036]

You can perfectly see on the final stats that he killed 2 Montanas, a Des Moines, a Shimakaze and the Yamato. Weird

[@NCC1701PS]

definitely weird, considering the "killed" yamato icon is not dark grey, but the white of an undestroyed ship

[@rabooey]

When you absolutely demolished that first DD I knew this was gonna be good, but damnnn. I believe you hit every shell of every salvo you fired at it, while he hit you a total of 0 times in return Great playing, thanks for the vid.

[@AlexuuMetaaL]

I just love the sound every time after he fires his guns..just like a hurricane

[@Micha-yf8ti]

Gz nice Runde! Und viel, viel Glück gehabt dabei das dich der Träger in ruhe gelassen hat :D

[@tosyl_chloride]

Ah, the good old days of stealth firing. I had so much fun in my Akizuki and Yugumo.

[@hellstorme]

Yeah sure... Stealth fire doesn't need a nerf. Sure. Yeah. Ok.

[@derrekborne259]

Gaius Maecanus I knew someone would cry about stealth firing lol. Let's get rid of stealth torping too

[@berenjervin]

Everything needs a nerf. CV torp squadrons swoop in at 150+ knots and drop torpedoes that Houdini has trouble getting out of. Battleships will just delete you from 20KM away. Cruisers will just burn you to a cinder, then whack the corpse with torpedoes just to make a point. DDs can shoot you from stealth, and given 5 minutes, might just kill you. If a DD shoots you from stealth, move away. Its not like they are going to kill you on the way out.

[@derrekborne259]

berenjervin the enemy cv never even tried to spot the gearing, BBs chasing a dd, BBs sailing in straight lines(17 torp hits...), the Yamato caps and then turns to again chase instead of going behind the island which was right next to him. This game definitely needs some changes but that was just bad play that he capitalized on. Everyone wants to dumb down the game cuz they are struggling instead of learning.

[@DarthVapor151]

berenjervin i honestly laughed at the Houdini part. You are right btw

[@teoarrk]

Had the enemy team realised (and rightly so) the threat he posed and acted accordingly, then this result would not have been achieved, and this video wouldn't have been uploaded. Firing from stealth is just another thing that can be countered with proper teamwork. I don't claim to be Chester W. Nimitz or Isoruku Yamamoto but they kinda handed this tally to him.

[@TheStupidLama]

Question: Where is the "spotted" indicator? Stealth fire isn't a thing anymore right? When guns are fired: fire range = spotting range. What happened there? Haven't seen Stealth fire in months, except for island cover obviously.

[@valkorion4141]

Tell please, how called music 21:30?

[@Ajax-xn1ox]

Guess I have to subscribe now, great intro!

[@Panzerknacker]

hey mate - you dont have to but it would be nice :-) Congratulations again on this great gameplay - well played!

[@HarryP457]

Excellent ship handling. Well done and gratz.

[@raymondnielsen1321]

Ajaxx1170 wow just wow

[@jayanthkumar7964]

Good play.

[@Roddy229X]

Awesome game man!

[@tepesvoda464]

Nicely played, but notice something: the Gearing never come under air attack even once! the ennemy CV never sent any planes against him, he never send any planes to keep him spotted even when he was hammering unpunished against those helpless BB's. If he did, this game would have been VERY different.

[@celestial4638]

yeah exactly that was key,,,and really tho, those dd's are a little too invisible, how can he not be detected while firing? And even when detected they are very hard to hit? Doesn't make much sense. Unless you like to play subs er I mean dd's.

[@junkiexl86]

Exactly. Incompetent CV all the way. I'm happy for him to hit 426k, but let's be honest, if that CV was even half competent at their role, no way would this have happened.

[@mtnman3919]

The carrier actually refused to go after him or even spot him.

[@junkiexl86]

Yea, exactly my point. 426k damage is awesome, though I would be more impressed if he had done that while being actively engaged and outplayed them. Not sitting behind stealth/cover unchallenged and unspotted, racking up free damage.

[@amesbancal]

What is the respective share of damages between shells and torpedoes ?

[@mtnman3919]

I actually played in that game and it was by most accounts a SHAM. The aircraft carrier on our team refused to spot or go after the destroyer in this video making us question if they were not buddies setting our team up.

[@Dysphoricsmile]

6:45 IMO, speed boost is still FAR better for random battles than Defensive fire is. If he had speed boost, he could have possiby gotten away from detection without taking massive damage. And since the stealth fire nerf, I would guess that Speed Boost is almost a must have, where defeinsive fire is VERY situational in randoms, because even if there are CVs, Gearing is maneuverable enough to dodge drops, especially with speed boost, and Gearing smoke is the best in the game, so even if a CV decides to try to keep you spotted, again, IMO the best thing to do would be to pop smoke, turn on AA, and either scare the planes away - or let them slowly be killed off! With OVER 2 minutes of smoke cover combined with Gearing's rather good base AA, I would imagine that CV planes hovering over a smoked up Gearing for too long will take heavy losses even without Defensive Fire.

[@overstack7128]

this guy aim his torpedoes SOOOOO well

[@loccey9]

Stark panzer?

[@АнтонОбухов-р2ч]

I don't know how you do it. it's cool! You have a little followers must be much more. Such fights I've ever seen!

[@nachoo31]

Do you have a 400k game after the patch for firing, in a DD replay?

[@ZGuy0fSci]

Gear and CO Skills used?

[@BlackPowderTherapist]

How do you get the damage and ships to show up when your playing?

[@The_Menace_1]

What cursor are you using? It’s not standard. Is it a mod?

[@pedersimonsson4542]

I ´ll stick my chin out here, two horridly poor playing teams, one brilliant player seizing the op to shine. This shows all the cons with knowing and/or understanding the mechanics of ones ship. And IMO that is how we separate the good from the others. Can not recall any player in any game on any server out of a great many thousands who has prevailed in such a superior way. Hats off here, has to.

[@MOFYILD]

yes!!!!! I play wowp for jet drive but I will download this game for mental wars,thanks for video.

[@Dysphoricsmile]

4:38 NO FUCKIN WAY! First volley of torpedoes - hits 8 of 10 launched! That alone has to be a record - at least in recent times since IJN Torps were nerfed heavily, especially the 20 km set... I remember the CBT days, when DDs started off with their torpedoes already loaded and ready to launch, back them Shimakazes would launch all 15 towards enemy spawn and often hit like 10+. But ever since those 2 things were nerfed, AND players have become much better, especially at dodging torpedoes - landing 8 of 10 on the first volley is rather insane! Yeah, I am DEFINITELY spec-ing into Torpedo Acceleration for the Gearing! 13.2 km range is far more than enough! And that range at 71 knots is just TOO good to pass up!

[@calebbrown9091]

you have some of the coolest intros to videos

[@shankarramachandran3661]

Gotta show this to all those who want stealth fire back

[@Roddy229X]

Shankar Ramachandran won't happen with the radar meta in game right now. A good cruiser player would be able to keep him painted

[@BK-zp8vl]

These enemies though, never once pressed the a or d keys. Bring back stealth fire please.

[@nomis19821982]

How many games did that take

[@MrFelicion1986]

scheisse was für ein geiles replay, der dude hats drauf =)

[@vasteye7821]

But no kraken???

[@TMKE]

great game. ギアリングの煙幕ってこんなに長く展開できるんですか？強すぎワロタ

[@old_guard2431]

Watching this back to back with the Minotaur 12 kills. All these fierce battleship to deal with, why worry about a destroyer (or Reynolds Wrap Brit cruiser). Both this and the Minotaur fight were come-from-behind. You need your cruisers and DDs to take care of the enemy's cruisers and DDs. But if you let them all get sunk, you have problems. Also, noting that even some Tier X battleship drivers will sail in straight lines at constant speed with a dangerous destroyer around. You have more health points in one of your secondary turrets than he has in his whole ship. Why should you worry. . .

[@tuberaider]

Damn. My all time max damage on my Gearing was a little over 250k. Well done!

[@BinkyTheElf1]

If carriers won't cover, cruisers won't screen, and DDs won't scout and snipe... well, this is the result. Buffy nerfy wah-wah will not fix bad play, and teams not playing like one.

[@SoldierOfFate]

You can't fix stupidity. And if you try to cater to it, well there's a reason why Conqueror exists.

[@rbarger71]

Perfect example of why you take out DD's even when they have low health. And not with slow lumbering BB's either.

[@postwar142]

That concealment was dirty

[@1958PonyBoy]

He actually caused more damage from fire than the 485 main gun hits. Wow.

[@jpm5287]

old game mech. miss those days

[@yipengxie8310]

why is there no kracken?

[@budmeister]

You can only get the reward once per 24 hours.

[@elham7459]

budmeister This about the achievement, not the reward.

[@bremnersghost948]

Im impressed, first class carry, be a while before that battle gets beaten o7

[@marildokustura7269]

its really the torps that did most of the dmg

[@US_Beagle]

So fucking close to the Kraken! A millisecond longer he would've had it!

[@god3ater415]

Is this on the NA server?

[@aidanrobinson465]

Can anyone tell me how to look at replays like this?

[@BobCat981]

google "enabling world of warships replays" and follow instructions or simply download Aslain's WoWs ModPack (google that too) and enable it from there... afterwards, your replays will be stored in your "..GAME_FOLDER/replays" which you simply open with wows (right click -> open with -> find and select wows)

[@Agm1995gamer]

random fact (or just a myth) : in the documentary of how the bismark sunked one sailor said the hit ratio in battle was 5 to 100 rounds fired.

[@ulfenburg7539]

what 0.0

[@johnmcshane4463]

Aviv Gannon the Bismarck only needed to shoot 5 shells to sink the hood though.

[@gtbsatalks]

what!stealth firing was here a few days before i started playing,i should have strted playing before so i could have been able to

[@superomegamkiii2313]

No way you'd get away with that now, no more stealth firing. Imo it has made the game much more fair for all ship types. Why can't any of my opponents be this dumb?

[@superomegamkiii2313]

@Hi There Its still possible, however only if you're in smoke and other ships are spotting your target. With submarines now coming I don't see how Wargaming can avoid not bringing it back to balance everything.

[@RainyPizza61823]

The engine sound is satisfying lol

[@HilarityBribo]

Ya this game is good, I wish Wargaming would do an Age Of Sail game.

[@TheScania1991]

Oh. My. God. Your back must hurt badly. GG Gearing.

[@mtnman3919]

This match was a setup the CV on our team was working with the gearing the whole time. He accidentally spotted him earlier in the match with his planes and immediately got his planes away from him. Our team asked the whole game for the CV to spot him and he flat out refused in game chat.

[@gurkslunga]

Those were the days when the dd:s were not too much worried about enemy radarcruisers and cv-s attacking with rocket planes.

[@leeholding85]

They have sacked ichase. Time to stand up for each other

[@vaisakh3462]

That enemy CV just wanted to farm damage from BBs. Replay proved how much OP stealth for can be. The player exploited game mechanics and his ship's strength to the fullest, which was a good thing.

[@terkish6203]

You should do a special intro for games that break these records...

[@Wildboy0001]

so absurd overpowered! all other dd´s are crap & trash but us dd´s are still unnerfed and still FUUUUUUUUCKING OP!

[@SWIFTO_SCYTHE]

Wildboy0001 explain why the Khabavrosk is the best DD in the game with 130mm laserstraight guns a top speed of 48knots and 10km torps AND their HE was buffes from 1600 damage back to pre-nerf 1900 a shell?? Oh it also has no citadel so overpenns galore.

[@Mewmewcat1337]

How do i get stealth firing like him ant gett it on my gearing lol

[@panzerduelllant4557]

Skill the captain

[@leont4944]

I swear, DD's and CV's are so OP that it doesn't matter what you do with your BB because if your DD's and CV's aren't playing amazing, you'll lose. I fell in love with the game playing BB's but after all the "pop smoke/hide behind an island and just spam HE until tomorrow" bullshit, I just stopped playing them. Yeah, you can have amazing 60k salvos with a BB but you can also be burnt to a crisp by a freaking banana boat.

[@mikewbma]

RIP invisible fire

[@rdoggg19]

I love how he said he was coming to smoke the Yamato and then NEVER went near him

[@mobius8407]

Rick To your knowledge, enemy bb was too close to Yamato for smoke to be of any use. And secondaries would've melted Gearing

[@Unitra2550]

426k?!?!? thats world record!!

[@Panzerknacker]

not sure - but the highest by far i have seen in World of Warships....

[@eirenerodriguez9036]

Papedipupi, that means Midway or Hakuryu, and maybe even the pre-nerf versions

[@Ajax-xn1ox]

His record is in the Midway I think... but yeah, this one takes #2 on NA/EU servers

[@ktbzr9258]

you forgot Asia and China server already.they might have more damage

[@yingxiangyao5323]

can be. In china the replays of cvs shown in internet must be a replay with more than 300k dmg

[@lostinlife647866]

This wasn't a battle this was a paddling !!!!

[@johnDoe-fx4gy]

Wow, Respekt Mister !

[@MaxMustermann-gx7rq]

OK. This was a little like WOW!

[@t39393]

Des moines has a bad day

[@theslayer2458]

this ship is small but deadly

[@kuboss007]

I am not gonna watch stealth fire non-sence OP shit

[@tepesvoda464]

interesting that the enemy CV NEVER tried to find and kill this guy.

[@crauxe2543]

Back in the days of stealth fire

[@rileycampbell5691]

Awesome, I wish I was that good.

[@moose2577]

I keep trying to look around. When is KZbin gonna work that tech into these? Lol

[@Kyumaro]

lol like the zao replay...90% luck,5% OP ship,4% op stealth,1% skill awesome...

[@UnexpectedInquisition]

Obviously an older replay made possible through old stealth firing rules

[@Ren40x]

sehr geil gespielt ;-)

[@wilhelmmc2]

And that's why they eliminated stealth firing.

[@stevenfu512]

he sure miss invisi-fire

[@Shader_LP]

The good old times when you still could hide and shoot in a smoke with a bb without getting spottet over 2,5 km and where the stealth fireing still existed and as well the old cv system

[@asaman99]

Not a "good" old time for Yamato like that situation...

[@Akrablak1]

lool Yamato save by the bell

[@wendigong4337]

Die Schlachtschiffe waren in einer hoffnungslosen Lage...

[@asaman99]

就這樣活活玩死一艘大和，敬佩敬佩...

[@tejaspatil360]

well this is wrong, Yamatos and Iowa getting killed by main battery of fishing trawlers

[@angrybird7324]

This is world of warship for you, in real life that dd could fire at the yamato all day long he just could never sink it or even do more than scratch it. But in world of warships forget it, 5'' or 15'' guns, all the same.

[@ferettodesu9462]

Gearing: I have the highest damage in one game ever in World of Warships! Hakuryu: *Hold my beer*

[@reefta]

thats realy need to go to jingle he will have so much laugh out of it

[@ossiedunstan4419]

i have seen 500k + damage , do u just mean on the gearing

[@SoldierOfFate]

That new damage record was due to even more sheer imbalance that came from the CV rework when it wasn't even playtested right prior to release.

[@akoshorn2463]

So, on NA server still can stealth fire? too bad :)

[@ThomasEPeters]

And he killed that last three ships and earned he last 260k damage on a quarter health or less.

[@EvillClaws]

holy shit , gearing makes the ijn dds look like useless , they have great torps and can stealth fire with almost the same firepower as the russians .

[@Raptor747]

IJN torps are better, and the Shima can fire 15 of them at once. Shima also has better concealment and speed, as well as better maneuverability and a smaller ship profile (harder to hit). IJN guns have better shell velocity too, so less floaty arcs.

[@ThatOneDude7]

list the ups all you want, the Shima is clearly lacking

[@ThatOneDude7]

SaltyWaffles, can you imagine the Shima coming up with the win if it was instead of Gearing ? Don't think so. To carry this hard, having really good torps (which gearing has) and really good concealement (which gearing also has) is not enough. You need the OMMMPHH in your guns. Torps won't carry you all the way to victory

[@jdfclark]

wow,very impresive

[@amanecerbartolo13]

congratulations

[@Kilen_BE]

9:40 and 17:42 Sometimes it’s weird... he fires with guns in open sea, no smoke (and inside own max guns range), nothing to cover him... and not spotted ? 🤨🤔 weird... May it’s an old version of the game and guns mechanics changed I dunno, but it’s strange (and such more easy ofc). Nice score though, gg.

[@ChristopherSloane]

As much as I love playing my DDs this shows how broken they are against BB's a BB has more than enough firepower to turn a DD into a reef but the game mechanics are totally broken.

[@Roddy229X]

Sloan even more so now that the game is infested with radar

[@yersiniapestis9137]

Good round. Not bad

[@PrzyjemnePieniadze]

Can you make playlist with DMG Records?

[@hansdieter645]

This game was on the TEST SERVER! That explains everything.....u should try this in a real game.....

[@christianhorn8811]

War aber mehr Glück als Verstand sa niemand sich wirklich auf den DD konzentriert hat

[@BastuGubbar]

i once did almost 500k damage using the cruser in the halloween event.

[@drunksailor5176]

This is why we love WG!!! This Yamato should be renamed to "Schrödinger's Yamato" LOL en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger%27s_cat
