World of Tanks - M18 Hellcat - Faster Pussycat!

The M18 Hellcat is one of the more fun tanks to play in WOT. Ridiculous top speed and great view range combined with a powerful, if not terribly historically accurate 90mm gun, makes it most peoples' first choice when it comes to tier 6 tank destroyers.

[@RitaGamer]

Hellcat is such a great machine, kinda disliked it because got so much in love with the t49 until i made the first Radley's on it. :P Thanks for the video.

[@Rich_828]

Rita Gamer!!! (^____^)/ hai!

[@JFskeezix]

I almost had Pools medal in my Hellcat twice. One day... ;-)

[@Senteri]

I've seen another girl driving almost nothing but the hellcat for thousands of battles. :P

[@Bjarkeah]

You disliked it because you loved the T49? How does that make sense? Seems like WOT would be pretty one sided for you, if you dislike all but one tank at the time.

[@Qichar]

Bakkendk It makes sense because people become attached to what they are used to. She was used to driving a T 49, which, to be honest, is a fantastic little machine for its tier. It wasn't until she gained experience with the hellcat that she realized that it was also an amazing TD in its own right. Possibly what she's saying is, maybe she didn't want to give up the T49 to transfer the crew to the hellcat (or sell it to make room for it in her garage). As a complete aside, I love your twitch live stream Rita. You should invite Jingles as a guest more often!!

[@HazeGreyAndUnderway]

You know, I don't play World of Tanks or War Thunder, but I absolutely love watching your videos. They're brilliant. I love the history of WWII and all, and I just find your videos extremely informative, interesting, and entertaining. I've finally just subscribed; perhaps now I should start playing one or the other haha.

[@jackofthecoke]

Do both.

[@FlyBigBenz]

play world of tanks its more fun for me at least

[@raymondheckford4546]

Try both and continue playing the one you enjoy the most.

[@SoulKiller7Eternal]

War Thunder. Not only will it have tanks soon, it will also have naval as well in the future. Far funner to play because Arcade is FAR different from Realistic and Full Sim Battles are well...holy shit. XD lol Soon we get tanks and all hell will break loose. :D

[@Aleksitusasd]

SoulKiller7Eternal I don't really care for WT.

[@Nitrus5]

I love hellcats........... Especially when I'm in a KV-2........

[@Nitrus5]

Toza Peloda LOL yeah When that happens, I be like "OHHHHHHHHHHH NO YOU DIDN'T" At that point, after I bounce his shot, I let my platoonmates finish him

[@xarmchia7750]

Even in a bishop ;).

[@Beef1188]

I would have your tanky guts spilled all over your spawn camp before you even had a chance to turn your turret towards me!

[@Senteri]

If you catch a hellcat not expecting you,.. Otherwise the hellcat easily circles around a kv2.

[@CardScientist]

record critical hit count was seven critical hits to a hellcat in 1 shot-killed 3 crew men and destroyed / damaged 4 modules

[@admiraljohan7152]

KV-2 may be stronk tank in game. But that darn Hellkitten is easily the best tank in the darn game. 'Murica.

[@nou8257]

Raz0rking I'm a master of them both (Hellcat and KV-2) so easy to make T8's look retarded with them.

[@admiraljohan7152]

Shoot and scoot. They wont stand a chance...

[@admiraljohan7152]

Raz0rking It does take skill. Just pretend every shot will kill you. Keep moving, and choose targets wisely.

[@redreaper-xe6so]

Also, hellcat is a fantastic vehicle, great to see you review it. My favorite vehicle to run with optics, net, and GLD. Specced out and with a good driver, a few 90mm nosepokes will leave half the enemy team in the litter box.

[@Kingbob359]

Even though I never play WoT, I still watch jingles' videos. It his world domination plan coming into affect. Praise Jingles, Jingles, Jingles, Jingles, Jingles.

[@Danox94]

My Favourite tank in the game along with the Comet. It's so Fun! A bit OP but only if you now how to play it. Also, it is damn beautiful. Ahhh, I love the Hellcat

[@jukahri]

it's not *a bit* OP. It's definitely OP. All you need to do better in the hellcat than in your other tanks is over 46.5% global WR: ivanerr.ru/lt/images/liz/hellcat.png

[@Danox94]

Jukelo Well, it's OP then. But... It' doesn't feel like it. I mean it is great and above average but it dies so quick and has low health, slow turret.... I still think that you have to be better to do well in a hellcat than in a KV-1S. You can't just charge forward and derp people in the face, nor can you play it like a medium tank... well, you can but as I said earlier it has that slow turret traverse and that low armor with low hp...

[@KingLeonidas29]

What do you mean by OP?

[@TheSkipjack95]

Have you met my friend, KV-2 ?

[@ruben9912]

***** Orange Peel

[@Knarsens]

Wow, your timing is impeccable. I just got the Hellcat about a day ago and then you upload this :)

[@StarDestroyer]

jingles I'm a casual gamer and these videos are actually helping me do better thx

[@briand3772]

I stared at the screen without laughing but when the vid ended I laughed the hell out of myself

[@05Hogsrule]

Great segment, thanks Jingles. Terrific game by Waga...well done Sah! Love this map.

[@hamfisted7863]

Impeccable timing, your majesty!

[@petrameyer1121]

It is soo much fun listening to the lementations of Hellcat players in historical battles. :)

[@JordanMetroidManiac]

4:00 That obliteration looked quite hilarious, actually.

[@colc5469]

I love the replay description "all that good stuff"haha

[@mikism87]

Jingles, your pronunciation of "Lithuania" is perfect. Could not have pronounced it better myself. Regards from the "Rain country"!

[@FlitetestHolland]

The last one: kill stealing like a boss (some moments) but great job man

[@mikescanlan4653]

I played through the other TD line first, The Jackson was an amazing amazing tank. When I got to the Hellcat, it was like playing a faster Jackson. Not better or worse but right at home. Both tanks are amazing.

[@sebastiankajander905]

One of my 2 favorite tanks of all time. Hellcat and E-50M

[@Narklmarf]

LOL? i was looking for some recent hellcat videos from you and i refreshed youtube and boom! :O:O

[@redreaper-xe6so]

hellcat WAS mounted with 90mm experimentally, but they basically said "not a lot of ammo in this thing, and it isn't terribly accurate even though it is quite powerful" so they decided not to use it, that and HVAP was available.

[@mecho68]

If you are an experienced player in a good team , in favorable conditions is not hard to do that. Try to do it in random battles when you are in a team of 10 year old kids who's main and best strategy is to camp somewhere between center of the map and base and shoot whatever comes in front of their gun !

[@JamesRaynor101]

I've actually gotten 12 kills max as well in my Hellcat. Did it on South Coast. This guy did damn good though lol, o7 my fellow Hellcat driver!

[@zacman76]

Woot Woot, more jingles action!

[@rickpalechuk4411]

Great quality run there dude! You made it look easy :)

[@wgapalifunsbra3845]

Greetings, BohemianEagle! The Hellcat surely is one of the fastest tanks in the game, with great accuracy as well. Just keep in mind its armor isn't too strong, making the model prone to damage. Good luck in the battlefield! Wargaming Ambassador Palifuns

[@WeBeStronk]

Never really got into World of tanks myself. But looks like a great little machine. Nice work :)

[@TheLouis177]

Same here, I held off playing WoT because of WT tanks.

[@matt3219]

To be honest, they are completely different games, as Jingles has said before.

[@Westonsammy]

***** Play WoT. Its totally different from WT Ground Forces despite being the same sort of game, and offers a much different experience (Like CoD and Battlefield Series). I think both WT and WoT are tons of fun, and the best thing is that they are both free, so try out both!

[@TheLouis177]

Westonsammy Okay, I really like watching WoT videos, so I may as well give it a try. :)

[@SuperRealKittenVT]

Westonsammy I like WT tanks more because they don't have futuristic tanks

[@portentouslad5051]

god these 749s and Hellcats are an artilleries nightmare they never stay in one place long enough and the one I got with my Grille were mostly hip shots.

[@mindaugaskvasys4960]

Jingles Lithuania forgives you,and thanks to I didn't knew there is medal in WOT where Lithuania is mentioned :)

[@MatteV2]

What about some Ground Forces? :D I've had some incredible matches in it with ZE PANTHER!

[@BestWorstGeneral]

Waga100 is a player on the NA server and lives in Australia! We've platooned a couple of times! I know his pain when it comes to ping as it sucks for us Aussies on any server (SEA is the best with 140-150 ping)

[@mathiass1166]

I have just bought my Hellcat, but I still love the Jackson

[@Beef1188]

What I don't understand is why nobody rolls their hellcat with 100 octane gasoline? The tank has good top speed but poor engine power and turret traverse, a perfect candidate for extra gas. If you're good at driving the hellcat then you can easily afford 100 octane gasoline and still make a lot of money.

[@obviouslypepsi]

The benefits aren't wonderful when you consider how strong the machine is without it. I'm in a clan tthat runs a lot of medium tank companies to help train players to get used to clan wars and direct calling, and all our vehicles use an automatic fire extinguisher, repair kit and medkit. The only requirement is the auto extinguisher, because burning to death in a TC sucks. I guess it comes down to cost:benefit. While I would be mildly more effective all of the time with gas, if I burn due to an unlucky shot early on in the game, I'm fucked for that game. I'd rather fight in the machine as it stands, and not have every odd game ruined by an unlucky hit, y'know?

[@Beef1188]

obviouslypepsi The only way to play a hellcat is to be a hyper-violent player that uses the speed to his advantage and doesn't get shot, and if you don't get shot, you don't need fire extinguisher. But if you do get shot, that's not my problem. Oh, and by the way, when you get a 5-perk crew on your hellcat, I'll let you patronize me, but until then, tha' tha'!

[@mrscoutkirill9737]

Yes, я тоже его не понимаю

[@MinecraftTheAvatar]

damn i got a great match with my hellcat with tier 8's but just never knew that jingles was doing a video about it

[@deadlyhydra]

You're playing with SirFoch AHH Now I know why I recognised the name and reminded me of Jingles when I watched "Object 430 is it worth it"

[@jonssonnicolas]

thx jingles. been waiting for a video :)

[@MrDeathray117]

Jingles! You need to make a series of mortal enemies! Like m4 vs kv1, t29 vs IS, etc.

[@aminamchannel]

jingles when shooting at the is3 front you should aim for the two spots on the side just beneath the turret. those spots are less sloped then the middle line and left/right under

[@lukevilla7681]

got to love it when you'll in the KV-1S one shooting some leopards and some times a M4 Sherman.

[@simmons865]

my hellcat is my fav tank! yay jingles!!

[@PedanticGaming]

as someone who has only ever face Hellcats rather than driving them, they are up there with the Toaster and the Nashorn as some of my most hated enemies, spot you first, and do enough damage to kill you before you return fire (maybe because I play British a lot and their guns just cant kill Hellcats quickly enough)

[@Lemmiatem78]

Damn that 13 kill Hellcat game was crazy lucky.

[@wotghostfatalis2132]

Hellcat is one of best TD's for it's tier. When you have platoon of Hellcat you are unstopable :D

[@tacomas9602]

Three sluggers :)

[@anthonyg.1583]

Ah, the old hellcat, the godliest tier 6 td to ever exist

[@mimimislav2734]

old kv-3 tho

[@QuinchGaming]

Like the Russ Meyer reference in the title mate ;)

[@danielsonbotsford4572]

I never have that much luck in my Hellcat... I have over 1500 games in it and I have never been ignored like that. That honestly was sheer stupidity on the enemy teams part. The typical way I play the Hellcat is a camping sniper, I know most people absolutely hate that; but, I have incredible success with it. Also, if cover is used appropriately, you will not be seen. (provided you have taken the necessary time and exp to level your camo skill). I currently have a max view range of 507m, it is longer (probably up to 530m) if I have someone spotting. I really wish I could have sent you one of my replays (I didn't get 10+ kills) but I had enough kills and caused the most damage of both teams. BTW It was on the Malinovka map lol. Anyway, just wanted to tell you about it, because it is one of my most favorite tanks to play. Take care and have fun!!!

[@ronaldderooij1774]

Danielson Botsford The game maximises the viewrange to 445 meters for all tanks with all consumables and binox included. Sorry to dissapoint you.

[@twowheelfrenzy]

I got 10 kills in my hellcat the other day and got my first pools medal in 1 year of playing =D It's definately a nifty little tank

[@mitchellowens8141]

Absolutely love my Hellcat. I've had the most fun in that tank... Now if only the T25/2 got the heavy tanks gun of the next tier like its suppose to... Maybe it wouldn't suck so much.

[@DocShocka227]

just got mine and i loved grinding to it the t49 was awesome

[@theheavytank7588]

Jingles you're the best!!!!!!!

[@CrisURace]

that 13 kills game was awesome!!

[@TheUnknown-eg3yw]

Dude he stole most of the kills

[@diewwas55]

- Nitroxidezz - he wasint stealing. he did a good amount of damage and just happened to get the last blow on some of those tanks.

[@chrismawson4430]

- Nitroxidezz - no such thing as kill stealing in WoT

[@katyg.8912]

If a Hellcat hides behind a Stick, Your going to have a bad day.

[@godgrant123]

I've had 4 medals and 4.5k damage games on hellkittys :p, I don't have camo on it either, just some other ones, I also prefer to attack and go around is3's than stay far back ;3

[@warris9010]

Seen that replay on the stream :)

[@Oliver7727727]

And

[@SWEdemolition]

Oliver7727727 Oh, shush...

[@genscool5509]

Is there any chance you could do an Is4 review anytime soon? since there arent many out there...

[@teddyemmanuel]

I think he already has one

[@titanage9829]

it's one of the best tier X tanks in the game in my opinion, definitely one of the most well balanced ones

[@connorkenway7775]

The IS7 is better.

[@denbark1444]

Connor Kenway lolwut?

[@johnfarrow8115]

Den Bark Actually, the IS4's gun beats the IS7's in every way but alpha dmg

[@lilwang2]

wow got my replay shown :) The ping was because of the amazing Australia to USA server connection. Looking back on it if I'd hit that luchs a bit sooner i might have gotten the 14 kills but what can ya do. I've got the best internet i can get but its the difference between 250-300 and 200-250

[@kutamsterdam]

Ah Jingels i suck as this game, tanks or planes doesn't matter but i like it and your video's do help me along :-), thanks man.

[@lapeciq]

No biggie Jingles, the way you say Raseiniai sounds even better then in lithuanian

[@blackops2960]

OMG thank you thank you for this vid I though I was going to die of boredom lol jingles to the rescue XD

[@alexanderhermansson5984]

Nice tip about the unfair fighting, but I allways am the one to get into that spot where I'm outnumbered, and sometimes I can manage to pull it off, rolling away as the winner

[@vukpsodorov5446]

happened to me that i was in my KV-1 tier 5 match and i saw about 5 enemy tanks against me, no large threats, all 1-shots.i lost barely some HP and killed them all on cliff (i think its the cliff, most heavies go to Town, and there is a hill on the left flank, and in the middle a large lake and a really thin pass with a steep cliff diving right into the lake, left and middle separated by a large mountain) and i was alone, and i was protecting that flank while my teammates push town. but i was not fast enough for a topgun, because the guys against me knew that if they turn i will pop out and shoot, and there were a couple of enemy tanks left on the other flank when enemy lost town, and i still had 2 targets to kill on my flank. by the time i killed these 2 there was artillery hiding, he was not a scumbag. and when i rolled over the small hill and started moving down, my poor russian elevation didn't let me get the kill. still, 5 kills is amazing.

[@alexanderhermansson5984]

Funny, the KV-1 is the tank I was referring to on my post, outnumbered 7 on me... 2 of them survived and on very low health...

[@vukpsodorov5446]

Alexander Hermansson well, i was talking about 5 tier 4's and there were no hetzers there. as it was tier 5 match, there weren't any hellcats.

[@alexanderhermansson5984]

Same here No hellcats, I was top tier

[@liriax]

Awesome second game. I just released a video with pools medal on prokhorovka too, but on this replay there "only" 10 kills ^^

[@adamiosif8631]

Jingles plz make another fail compilation...i really miss that.. :D

[@Sigdriffa]

"13 kills in a Hellcat. That's not bad." LOL Typical British understatement. :)

[@Usmodlover]

Guy in the second vid: OMG GIVE THAT MAN A RAISE!

[@ITS4390]

I wish I had a clip of my fight as the last one on my team in a StugIII, Low health TD, one of the 2 enemy arties and a T6 Heavy show up on my doorstep, I was using the long gun, nailed the TD on the ridge, T6 peaks the corner and I track him, Arty shows around a rock I clutch the shot, then I get to go toe to toe at point blank range with a T6 in my stug, I manage to win, but he DID get a hit in on my putting me on low health. only one left on enemy team is an Arty, I go to the cap to try and root him out and he manages to snatch a clutch shot and splash damage me to 12 health as well as track me. I hit him as well and leave him on MINUSCULE health. so he does the only thing he could think of and rams me killing us both. Match ended in a draw, respect to that Arty player.

[@Christian_Ellingsen]

Just gotta love the Hellcat! :)

[@kaidnickl8541]

Ah, the days before the pre-nerf hellcat...

[@nohairguysrevenge]

Played it very much, but now its slow AF, and the gun has become World of 90 mm Bounce

[@Brazauskas123]

YAY Jingles mentioned Lithuania! :p

[@TheWingsOfPolish]

XD never thought that the word Raseiniai is so hard to pronounce for non Lithuanians. Greetings from Lithuania :D

[@OrdoMallius]

Holy shit that spawncamper nest is HUGE

[@iceradish]

Nice job Hellcat!

[@GandalffladnaG]

suddenly my opinion of my own hellcat skills takes a nosedive. and I don't play on a 100< ping server, mad props to that hellcat driver.

[@Slakrrrrrr]

Jingles, the M36 turret with the 90mm M3 was experimentally mounted on the M18 Hellcat, so it's technically historical...

[@The_MightyJingles]

When World of Tanks turns into an arcade tank trials, research and testing game it'll be historically accurate, until then...

[@thomasmichael5942]

I saw that Hetzer play I wish I could do that!

[@danilohashimoto]

Thanks for your tips, it's helping me play better. Could teach how to play better with scolts and artillery?

[@nathanaeledward898]

Ahh, the hellcat. The only thing that kept me sane today as I was grinding out my T21 (loved the T20; hate this pile of crap). Whenever I would get one-shotted by an E75 or a JPanther II I'd roll out my hellcat and go take revenge on it's little brother, the Tiger. No feeling better then successfully circling a Tiger II in a hellcat. :D

[@SekretZdzicha]

Kudos for playing with almost 0,25s of lag :D

[@SekretZdzicha]

Tom McKeown Where do you live Tom?

[@SekretZdzicha]

Tom McKeown I thought UK is such advanced country they would have wireless internet over whole country, or atleast fibre optic everywhere.

[@theoriginaldylangreene]

Ex Angel When you say fibre optic in the UK, we are talking about FTTN (fiber to the node) or FTTC (the street cabinet) rather than fibre-optic to the home (FTTH), BT wasted millions of pounds of tax payers money giving us an inferior broadband connection to the rest of the civilised world; they have been handed a damned monopoly. Even places like the Netherlands have far superior internet connections than us, the "communications hub" of Europe.

[@moffepolle]

If the hellcat is going to be in Historic with the 75mm restore it as it was before tha nerf.

[@funkyromero]

Tier 6 and hellcats ... 2-3 shot anything that you meet while they are shooting back with 6-7 shot to kill weapons ^^ Its like taking a shotgun to a knifefight.

[@1stWarlord]

Oh jingles ,trust me if you have the hill it is a guaranteed win.

[@docteree]

your making me stay up too long mr jingles........ if im late at school tomorrow its ur fault

[@NasGuardia]

Lithuania accepts your apology Jingles :D

[@mofosamo]

I`m sure the camo nerfs in the next patch only apply to tier IX and X td`s.

[@cssmerrimac7206]

When I saw the title i thought of the song "whats new pussycat". Is it only me that the song popped into my head?

[@stuperman117]

I haven't really heard that song other than movies because I'm only 18, but it occurred to me too...

[@cssmerrimac7206]

stuperman117 I don't remember what movie i heard that song in though, and its bothering me. Do you know what it is.

[@stuperman117]

Many ones seem to have it... though more comedy ones.. old comedies XD

[@staffsargemobuto]

6 seconds....unless im near you. If you're the closest and most obvious threat, i will stare at your last known position until either you appear, fire, or the terrain around you suddenly eats your face.

[@silverwidow1423]

Currently Grinding through American TD's for the Event goin on and i can say I do terribly enjoy blowing up each and every kitty i get my hands on while in the Jackson.

[@pauloerafa]

very impressive!

[@isawaturtle]

The luchs is always a big threat to t67s and Hellcat

[@noel9017]

What about the tank after this one .i believe its crap .do i have alternative ?

[@niekotte9017]

Nais day of uploading A qauter ago i got my hellcat aced :-)

[@XSpamDragonX]

That other Hellcat driver had amazing RNG and overly nice teammates.

[@Drazilek]

Sweet little tank, always fear these when they're the same tier. Normally reserve and go the other way. lol.

[@iCockatrice]

I got my only Pool's medal in my beautiful Hellkitten Last few minutes were amazing, four of their tanks against me on 100ish health and I killed them all in the cap circle. Actually bounced some shots with the troll mantlet too, did more damage than this fella as well It's an amazing tank when played right, otherewise it's just good.

[@UzumakiNaruto-rc4xl]

This is my favorite tank next to the T49. If WoT touches either of these tanks I will RIOT!! >:( Both these tanks are only OP in the hands of good players. In the hands of bad players, I don't fear these tanks AT ALL. In the hands of good players, I will always be wary of them and will make them my priority targets to kill. I truly hope neither of these tanks will ever be changed.

[@IchaoticsI]

that second game with the lagging guy... he doesnt aim for even half a second on all his shots and they go in. lucky to the max

[@GPS1677]

Ha ha SirFoch was just complaining about the Su100 (about how boring it is to play) in his last video, and here he is in a platoon, in his Su100. A lot of F bombs dropped in his last vid, gota love it.

[@UlrichTheDwarf]

i am soo close to my hellcat. but im kinda disapointed because i heard they will be removing the 90mm from the hellcat in 9.1.

[@erka8032]

Maybe I'm asking this question on the wrong video but you reminded me the problem I have with the NA server latency on hellcat scene. When I first created a WOT account without knowing about EU and RU servers I created on wot.com which happened to be NA server. Later I downloaded EU client and found out that I had much better ping there

[@teddyemmanuel]

What happened to the star citizen series? Are you going to keep posting about it?

[@Thrcrusader]

he has said in a mingles with jingles?(i think not sure) that until there is any other new stuff he wont make a star citizen video which seems that the game is progressing slowly

[@alfredpascual42]

Hellcat is awesome!
