[@cartho1103]

I'm guessing that adding a German tier 8 TD is now a running joke in the Wargaming office

[@christiantorres4725]

I thought that adding tier 10 Soviet mediums was the joke

[@russianspy5307]

Next tier 8 premium tank destroyer is the rhinemetal non-existant, it was conceived by some guy at wargaming and he just decided to replace the turret of a tiger 2 with a borsig turret and give it a 12.8cm gun

[@josephelias9081]

+Tom Cassidy *facepalm* You've just said the same thing as the guy you're responding to 😂😂😂

[@ThaneaPally]

*facepalm* you didn't read all the replys.

[@ImperialCommander97]

"I don't know where all the weight came from" 850kg engine 3 ton gun Weak hull Well, I'd assume your tank commander is Herman Goering then?

[@TITwoforyou]

Is it just me or him ans Quickybaby didn't review the same tank AT ALL? Like, QB "Armor is terrible even 90mm guns can triple overmatch it" Jingles: "They can't!" QB : "camo is horrible the vehicle is so tall" Jingles : "Lol nope" WHO AM I SUPPOSED TO TRUST KZbin? WHOOO

[@gandalfthewhite1261]

QB

[@SuperNiels1998]

Trust Quickybaby because he is using the stats of the vehilce when you only have a 100% crew and not all the skills that wargaming throw in with the tank test account also without equipent like a tank gun rammer and such.

[@CJxSea]

Trust the old man.

[@Dreska_]

The camo values jingles used for the skorpion were with a 7+ skill crew, 21.4% stationary, and I'm guessing he compared them to the base camo values of the borsig. With a 100% crew + camo skill the borsig has over 42% stationary camo.

[@Dreska_]

Also pretty sure it does get triple overmatched by 90mm because 90/30=3 obviously. But it wouldn't be triple overmatched by a 88mm

[@TAM1906]

If the Auflk Panther was a TD it would be a Skopion

[@scout4731]

True that, Miss that old LT

[@Sseltraeh89]

IMHO it looks more like Tier V Leopard light tank, with the weird front plate design, which is also on Panther suspension, but shortened.

[@Adam-hy1du]

+Scout WG is remaking it at teir 6 it'll be out in I think 3-4 months

[@ghost_curse]

So they're re-releasing a former standard tank as a premium tank? As I said before, inb4 KV-1S-122.

[@TAM1906]

Does the German tree really need more premium tanks xD

[@ronaldderooij1774]

This tank is reviewed by many good players and they all love it. But they forget that the majority of the audience is not as good as they are. Jingles is the only one who takes that into account. Well done!

[@Userext47]

If anyone wants to buy this tank. Do buy it. Its a good tank and chances it wont be nerfed. But i should inform you armourless tanks are kişnda of under pressure. Why? Everyone likes free damage. And you are the free damage. People will rush you just to kill you.

[@HrothgarHeavenlight]

E25.

[@samharradence5689]

Tier 8 lights.

[@gandalfthewhite1261]

Camp

[@eulemitbeule5426]

Ever played a fast tank with no armor like the M56? You can play these things extremely agressive and get away with it if you are not completely stupid. And people won't rush you if you have a highly mobile TD with a great gun.

[@Donnerbalken28]

I still have nightmares of IS-3s rushing in because they want to kill my panther...

[@Gabriel-nb2gg]

Well 40 euros for a premiun tank, in Romanian the minimum wage is around 280 euros so 40 euros are a bit too much to pay for virtual thing maybe in America,Germany,England this might not seem to much but in Romania that's a little too expensive so I will not get tank.

[@toxictoz2042]

in my country you can eat for a whole week with 40 euros

[@avenger0214]

Wait it costs as much as a Löwe WHAT Wat

[@russianspy5307]

I spend about 20 pounds a week on food so this is about 2 weeks worth of food for me, i probably won't buy it

[@tuberaider]

Food is so overrated.

[@Gabriel-nb2gg]

***** I'm not joking neither kidding it's 280 euros PER month minimum wage

[@TrickiVicBB71]

That poor T95 player.

[@vaulthecreator]

It's the T95 lot in WoTlife.

[@sineupp]

at least he wasn't in a tortoise. it gets all the mobility of the T95 without the functional frontal armor.

[@riffler24]

+sineupp Not so much...tortoise has higher top speed, faster traverse, better engine power, and much better gun arc...all while having the highest dpm in the game...and the armor is fine for tier 9, and especially effective against lower tier tanks

[@taylorpayne1809]

+sineupp but a 120mm gun that fires every 6 seconds

[@sineupp]

+Taylor Payne that's pretty good until you start getting shot at. When every same tier heavy can pen you with minimal aiming, hell all tier 8s and some tier 7s will autopen you frontally with premium ammo, you'll wish you didn't want the deathstar that badly.

[@unamusedmule]

11:00 M41 Walker Bulldog: "Wz fucking goldnoob" Like the Bulldog had any amour xD

[@schijtnaam]

The_Prophecy [PINK] maybe the wz shot premium at him, and he saw it in xvm. that really would be a wast. and the m41 still hasn't got armour.

[@GGRetroRally]

7 kills in a game... who are you and what have you done with jingles??? :-p

[@GandalfTehGray]

+Ethan585790 I don't blame him for leaving the position, the batchat Arty could have left the base and been ruining his day from the island. He should have taken the hill after killing the t49 and tried to outspot the su since he had plenty of time.

[@destroyafied]

its a game

[@TheLastYnzy]

"Mobility is what's going to keep me alive here." Stops in front of his gun rather than rushing around beside him. Jingles you did done goofed my friend. XP

[@garganchua]

Woah! A person from eu is reviewing a new tank, I hope Rita dosent get upset.

[@jakub8782]

Umm Rita is Jingles best friend,they live together....

[@connermiles7425]

Best friend ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@garganchua]

Conner Miles with benefits only a Portuguese can provide ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@Direwoof]

Jingles isn't from eu wtf?

[@IDeltic]

I don't think you know where England is.

[@MinecrafterHarry]

Man, I really needed another tier 8 German tank destroyer.

[@mooneyes2k478]

40 Euro for a TANK....that's what I'd expect to pay for a full GAME.

[@w00tklumpWn]

It IS a full game.

[@mooneyes2k478]

....did...you even CONSIDER what you wrote, before you did it? Or did you just write the first 'thought' that came up in your head?

[@WhyAreUReadingMyName]

It amuses me how i don't play the games Jingles plays, but i still absolutely love the the videos, even the talk about the in-game stats of the tanks haha

[@alexchatzipetris9202]

It would be nice if wargaming released a mode where premium ammo/consumables are banned so everyone is playing on an equal playfield

[@tubefile100]

How can it be equal when everyone doesn't have the same penetration, same view range, same camo rating, same armor, same gun stats, same mobility, ect...???

[@yooper66]

"Don't be shy, your mother wasn't" XD classic sailor humor.

[@SkrapMetal84]

Rheinmetall Skorpion iv heared been called the Lobster due to its bad painted Skorpions on the turret but i think why not call it the Zoidberg tank just for a laugh and lets face it with WoTs players it deserves such a name for a tank..

[@epion660]

What an honour!

[@SkrapMetal84]

epion660 well its fast it scuttles away just like Zoidberg and you know how bad players are going to be in it so suits the name well.

[@epion660]

Skriva Kanga Oh, any chance of relating something to zoidberg i'll GLADLY take. I love that little (or big?) galactic crustacean!

[@SkrapMetal84]

epion660 and plus theres already a tank called the Skorpion anyway.

[@epion660]

Skriva Kanga The other one is the Scorpion. Honestly i don't think its a good idea for wargamming to add such an obscure tank when they have too many of its exact type anyways. For the japanese heavy line? the line wasn't needed, but i understand that they used obscure/prototype/schematic tanks because there were no real ones.

[@LiveLNXgaming]

I love the paint. I love this tank. I have all the german TDs so this will be a wonderful addition.

[@billywarren007]

Ah so have you moved to the NA server then? ;)

[@murdercom998]

No

[@billywarren007]

Murdercom I don't know I mean NDAs n stuff ;)

[@billywarren007]

Jokes... What are they good for? Absolutely nothing! Say it again y'all

[@billywarren007]

I only have myself to blame

[@SuperMattronic]

GODDAMMIT BILLY! Get outta here with your witty remarks ;P

[@geoffreystorckman8]

to watch jingles before bed or wait until after I sleep... ah screw it, I was gonna be awake for another hour at the very least anyway.

[@JP_A3]

[@subhelm6394]

+Lenin Cat's Emissary Hello my Russian cousin.

[@michaelwallace4760]

And that first game Jingles is the difference between a green and purple player. You played the game pretty well right up until you needed to reset. Either going up on the hill to try and spot him first, or once you spotted him, taking the shot in first person might have won the game. That game is a testament to all the people who say win rate is just luck. In this game, you can make your own luck.

[@dafo446]

it would be funny if Jingle hit SU -152 but not enough to kill him ...... cause High Explosive IS LOADED! you are old and crap Jingle! that why we prefer jingle than Quicky baby or Circon

[@epion660]

I don't watch either of those be cause i get kindof depressed because i can't do any of that stuff. At least jingles has a skill level similar to some of us in WoT...

[@chickerinoradio6617]

+epion660 i suck at all games so someone is better than me xD

[@frederickschulze8014]

I used to watch QB because I wanted to be as good as him. Now, I'm watching players who are much better than QB.

[@slimrock]

I like how the T95 finally gets to the battle after Jingles gets 3 kills. Poor tanker was probably headed there since game start.

[@patriknessboLemoran]

can u cover the strv or is it NVA?

[@patriknessboLemoran]

NDA*

[@mrflibble101]

Aww, for a minute, I was kinda hoping it was part of the North Vietnamese Army ;)

[@Donnerbalken28]

Could also stand for "Nationale Volksarmee", the armed forces of the GDR. Unfortunatly, the GDR never built own tanks.

[@mikeyfisher4256]

Also the GDR used soviet machinery so they wouldn't use a Swedish tank.

[@patriknessboLemoran]

+mrflibble101 ahhahahaha lol

[@Twemloco]

I've really missed these reviews. I remember back when I was at the T-150 and would watch your tank reviews every day, and now I'm at the ST-I grinding credits for the IS-4 and I still look forward to your reviews. You claim that you're crap at this game but what I think is that you and me have the same problem. We know how the mechanics work, and what to do, but we can't put those mechanics into good use, and we don't have the best decision making.

[@wrightway65]

STOP REVIEWING ONLY PREMIUM TANKS!!!!!

[@TeamRetroWorld]

He gets more views for doing premium reviews. He gets the content early so no other random KZbin blokes have reviews out, and the entire player base wants to know what the new tank is like = more adsense & higher payout.

[@calebdavies526]

he did a T20 review not too long ago

[@destroyafied]

so? he should man up and take a hit to his views for more genuine reviews

[@destroyafied]

anything else?

[@wrightway65]

Caleb Davies why are you so mean?

[@tsunglasses7]

17:46 "I can one shot him" 490 Alpha. Silly Jingles, you're shooting HE.

[@chronus1015]

What you mentioned at the end is the struggle I have with my Super Pershing. Often in games its a struggle to do any damage when on a good team as I cannot move fast enough with my team as they kill the enemy so fast and are faster than my tank leaving me only with some hit points. It is however a very fun tank to battle in. Enjoyed the video!!!

[@MikotoTsukuyomi]

I think the dad jokes from thestream stung more than the scorpion

[@Gothtecdotcom]

Been seening this tank over the last few days - "OOoo a Skorpian - Kill it now... right its dead, next!"

[@laurentiuanton4806]

for a second i taught that jingles will win a clutch game. glad you didnt change jingles :)

[@lordzulu4800]

@5:48 "It's a very very sneaky machine" LMFAO it has worse camo than the Fedi!!!!! you can almost spot this thing from space

[@awesomegj]

5:30 in the morning? jingles you wizard since thats when im viewing XD

[@frederickschulze8014]

11:53 "I can't really leave this position" The rhm skorpion is mobile, and would be able to relocate to have shots on the tanks in the middle of the map, and if the enemies started pushing the east, it could relocate back to defend.

[@randomcrandom3680]

Thanks for giving me a laugh because I'm in the hospital with a 104 degree tempeture. And I really need something funny.

[@thelzorakee4549]

Omg, it's 4am... I stayed up till 4am for you jingles... 4AM!!!!!

[@frin4053]

"You know how it is sometimes playing World of Tanks; sometimes the game just says 'nope!' hahaha" You mean all the time, Jingles :' I

[@gonun69]

it only gets that 7° gun depression over the sides, not over the front. This is going to be a very good late game cleanup tank - fastt, good alpha damage, good pen, good accuracy. If you save your hitpoints for later in the game, this thing is going to be a beast!

[@soscrim4554]

You know its great that Jingles lives in England and I live in The United States because I can just wake up and watch his new video. But I'm going to miss it because in about 2 months I'm moving to England and will have to wait for new videos.

[@frederickschulze8014]

17:45 "I can one shot him! I have 490 average damage!" Jingles *facepalm* you have HE loaded and you have to have the luck of the irish to penetrate him with an HE round.

[@Nuffinkatall]

it only has 3 degrees of dun depression right at the front where the angled amour is so make sure to poke ridges at an angle

[@theanimecivilian6913]

Jingles. We don't care if you stay up till 5 am. We just want a video.

[@misterdipster4241]

Thx for the vid, mate. 19:00 try to angle the tank to make fully use of the maximum gun depression. Both aiming over the front and the butt you have reduced gun depression because of the hull design.

[@Cailus3542]

After the morning I've had, which started with some drugged up neighbour threatening my housemate in our backyard at 6am, I could use some chuckles. A review of the Skorpion with some Jingles gameplay will do nicely. :)

[@davidgenthnerjr4995]

Great video. Most tier 8 stuff is either affordable like the Super Pershing or expensive like the T34 American tier 8 Premium Heavy. They will probably put this towards the expensive side.

[@NukeMan1993]

been trying to get less salty when i've been playing WOT, but arty makes it so fucking hard to not get pissed

[@stiimuli]

Jingles, I'm discovering you're a lot more entertaining when things are going wrong in a match then when things are going right. Make of that what you will. =P

[@DeuxisWasTaken]

18:30 that reminds me of St. Emil. Also doesn't care about tiering, as even tier 3 will pen him, and it can pen and damage even tier 10. Will get spotted when it gets into max spotting range anyway, no matter on which tier, because it seems it has negative camo...

[@andjon3710]

Nice video Jingles, for a gardener....staring into a bush the entire video is not my type of fun!

[@NerZul007]

The second shot at the E 75 didn't go into the tracks, your team mate tracked him while he was moving so he turned right making the spot you fired at very steep. You can see why you bounced;)

[@stanisawszczypua9076]

12,8 Kanone on Scorpion is apparently made out of Hietlerum or whatever top secret material they developed to make it 4745 kg lither on Scorpion then on other TDs. WG you're so silly with your stats made up from outer space - please never change.

[@chrisd3298]

When Jingles said that it goes 60kph I was surprised that they didn't pull the same trick as they did on the super Pershing's 40kph -in really small print-(down hill only)

[@forcumj]

don't worry about all the trolls on the WoWs NA server forums Jingles. I see that even minus the few claimed unsubs on the NA forums you still have MORE subs than yesterday. Hats off to you, keep up the good work sir, love your vids.

[@inS41NT]

Jingles always remember: "The AMX-40 is a fast Light Tank they said..." The Scorpion is also a fast Tank they said... (Downhill

[@themightiestofbooshes9443]

This is the first premium German TD to have a gun of this size. The others are 9cm or smaller, excluding the Dicker Max with its 10,5cm Kanone.

Damn jingles. You were playing really well in that first replay. Stop trying to play down your skills!

[@DarknessInferno15]

Jingles. Lad. You had so many side turret shots on that E 75, and you went for the lower hull, at that angle? No wonder all those shots missed.

You guys totaly missed the mighty jingles dad jokes. wonna read one? how do you call a deer with no eyes - No eye deer ( No idea) How do you call nobody with no nose ? - nobody knows

[@2eme_voltigeur652]

How do you call an Alligator wearing a vest? - An Investigator Btw the joke with the nobody knows is slightly different from what you are saying, it goes like: How do you call someone with no body and no nose?

[@slacko1971]

Btw it's "what do you call" not "how do you call"

[@2eme_voltigeur652]

You are totally right, stupid of me to miss that... considering I often correct people about that same error haha. I am not a native English speaker so I make mistakes once in a a while ;).

[@ikai640]

2eme_Voltigeur yeah didnt knew it exactly from above my head...

[@StaleBiscuit]

+slacko1971 is British

[@Reshtarc]

Off topic. Vid ideal T-34-2 review. Stat for concealment is 459. 25.9/5.7stationary and 19.9/4.27 moving. Better than most scouts or tank destroyers. Spotting 612. 406 view range and 800 signal. Medium could be one of the best scouts i have found.

[@johnferguson7235]

You're doin it all wrong Jingles. The Scorpion's greatest strength is it's mobility. Stop camping.

[@endre1989]

Jingles, Jingles.... You loaded HE against the su152! :))

[@ovni2295]

Can't wait to pit the Scorpion against the Skorpion and see who is the true stingy insect master of the battlefield. I understand there's a tier difference and HP difference, but I feel good about that matchup. One has a big gun and is tall. The other has a smaller gun but can hide behind anything.

[@bullettube9863]

The reason Germany built so many tank destroyers was because they could not build enough regular tanks to replace their losses in WW2. The US had the resources to build regular turreted tanks with bigger guns and more armor with the only restriction being the ability to be transported by rail and getting through tunnels etc.

[@eabaendallbeall7959]

your detected notification only comes on when you are looking in the detection of the tank spotting you. so when sixth sense kicks on look around until your detected notification pops up the enemy will be in that direction.

[@adamanthyz1]

Basically a tier 8 medium that trades armor for a amazing gun... Welp, im sold

[@deepbludreams]

I see the high tier TD and Medium meta is well and alive in world of tanks still, balance against heavy tanks is still massively one sided, just for example, that IS3 did everything right, he side scraped but since TDs at tier eight and above get ridiculous penetration, he could have done nothing to prevent his death other then run away. As jingles said, it matters not what tier the Skorpion fights, it will penetrate anything other then a very select few.

[@russiangoodboi2784]

Jingles, I've been traveling a lot lately and I dunno how I think I've partialy lost my sanity , somehow but now that I'm back home and watching you're vids, I feel beter !!! P.s If I have had any grammar mistakes pls forget me I'm from Romania :P

'Scorpion, ready to sting!' Eh? Anybody? No?... okay then.

[@tomnow92]

Jingles got 7 kills in this TD.. confirmed op

[@HenryHoblahblahblah]

If you think about it, German's guns were designed to be accurate. Therefore, it would be more favourable to have a sniper gun like the 88mm or any other German gun on a TD than say a HT (Tiger I...). Therefore, TDs are generally the name of Germany.

[@JoshYxVdM]

Jingles, oh Jingles... 12:20. Textbook WoT rules say you should advance to the bush until you can see through it... You're basically blinding yourself there.

[@TheDutchRanger]

Jingles, the dun depression is 6 over the front, 7 over the side and 3 over the rear

[@scook9999]

Nice review. Went over to check out the Twitch feed I couldn't watch last night. Jingles, you are so much better at WoT than you used to be, Not quite a good as QB, but you hold your own! Nice to see IK able to help form the Unholy Alliance on the channel last night. Cheers.

[@Atlantis357]

Didnt QB say in his review, that the Camo is horrible? Did they change something over night?

[@UpToSpeedOnJaguar]

Jingles man. If you turned your turret to the 3 o' clock position, you would get much better gun depression. You may have dodged a few shots pushing ridges knowing that.

[@tdbclanchannel9331]

Yaaaaay, and Ole' Fashioned tank review!
