​@tsu7206 ya mentioned that it was a new player, and for a second, I thought it was me cause I sont play randoms thst much, I'm new to ranked, and played mostly the Benson. Never mind that my 2nd battle in ranked which was in a Benson, was a well fought win on the back of 3 DDs my self included. I had to go so far as to check the names to clear my mind

[@DrSid42]

Nah .. if I was throwing on purpose, I would wait to 900 pts before getting myself killed.

[@LoneWolf-rc4go]

Just a quick note. The removal of the safety procedures on British warships appears to be a strictly WW1 issue. There was a massive kerfuffle after the Battle of Jutland where it was found that flash doors were being left open and charges were being improperly stored. The loss of the Hood was really down to some of the worst bad luck I've ever seen. Literally everything that could go wrong, did go wrong with the whole operation. The final nail in the coffin being a hit below the armoured belt that detonated her secondary then primary magazines.

[@wierdalien1]

I mean, not quite everything that could go wrong. PoW got home. The Sea state certainly didn't help though Interestingly, the RNs obsessions with Anti-Flash was part of the reason the quad turret on the KGVs weren't as reliable as would have been hoped. Though as pointed out in Drachs interview episode on the design, by mid war late 42-43 were as good as any other turret

[@LoneWolf-rc4go]

@@wierdalien1 I honestly think the fact that the Bismark shell that struck PoW below the waterline didn't explode is probably on only bright spot in the whole affair.

[@wierdalien1]

@@LoneWolf-rc4go not strictly fair, the PoW's underwater hit on Bismarck is what eventually sent her to the bottom

[@bill5982]

Drachinifel did an analysis on why the Hood blew up. At the high speed it was running at, it produced a significant bow wave. This wave was high at the bow but low at the middle exposing the bottom of the belt armor. A lucky shell from the Bismark struck this area and penetrated into the secondary magazine setting it off. The secondary magazine was directly adjacent to the main aft magazine and then boom.

[@Vatsyayana87]

Well i would never dispute drach in a naval decision. But i feel pretty confident 20-30 of water would do fuck all to the outcome of a battleship grade shell hitting that location.

[@CircusJeanie2399]

@@Vatsyayana87what our friend Timothy here is trying to say is that water does a great deal to shells, the bigger the caliber that more it will do to deviation and more importantly setting off the fuse earlier thus reducing the amount of armour it will pen. But it might just simply block the shell all together as the harder something hits water the more water resists, for instance if you shoot a .50 caliber round at water it will disintegrate on impact due to the whole physics behind water resistance which I can't remember the word for currently.

[@drkc5]

you can see by the targeting and shooting he's not really good :)

[@SamuelJamesNary]

Jingles historical commentary is largely in error, or lacking context. FIRST: The Hood did NOT explode due to poor safety precautions to put more shells on target. That was largely something that was a problem at Jutland and what Royal Navy forces actually determined after Jutland based on what surviving ships reported. Hood was essentially built with the lessons of Jutland in mind and the officers of WW2 likely were taught to avoid the issues that lead to what happened at Jutland. What happened to the Hood was a one in a million hit in which Bismarck scored a penetrating hit that went straight into the powder magazine, with some indication that it may have also bounced in after hitting the water first. SECOND: Germany did have radar that could assist with the firing of their guns in WW2, but that really wasn't critical to their firing and thus wasn't what was responsible for the drop in accuracy as the fight went on. And in fact, when Bismarck fired on Hood, its forward radar systems were already out of action, or at least compromised, as Bismarck had fired on the smaller warships that had been shadowing the Bismarck earlier... These shots MISSED but did enough to get the lighter British ships to pull away. And while Bismarck did drive the smaller ships off, the shots damaged its radar systems. Which means that things were already compromised before the Battle of the Denmark Strait began. The thing that really helped German battleships in WW2 be so insanely accurate at the start of an engagement was the stereoscopic sights that were fitted to them, not their radar. The system essentially allowed the natural working of the human eye to measure the range and direction by using these sights and guide the guns that way. And with focus, that can allow for excellent aiming, even when the shots don't hit. For the first shot that Bismarck fired did NOT deliver the hit that destroyed the Hood. However, because this system relies more on the human eye to do a lot of the work... any prolonged engagement will see accuracy decrease as a person can tire, will blink, and do other things that would then affect the accuracy of the guns.

[@Mithril_Antimarr]

Is it just me or did this guy not use priority target during the battle for his secondaries? He clearly had the skill just didn't appear to select targets to improve secondary accuracy?

[@pennywise___]

Looked like he was shooting at the Bismarck not the Benson. Better luck next time.

[@ryanbrewis6990]

About the issue of RN gunnery, I've read the complete opposite. That actually the standard was quite good, the issue was the BCF under Beatty had been moved to the Firth of Forth and obviously due to it being right by Edinburgh the crews couldn't conduct gunnery practice at anchor as that would rather annoy quite a few people and going out to sea was too risky, so Beatty (unofficially AFAIK) had crews leave doors open and charges stacked to try increase rate of fire. Admiral Hood's battlecruisers didn't have that issue I believe as he kept things rather more ship shape and had just finished his squadron's rotation with the Grand Fleet for gunnery training. As for why they blew up, battlecruisers getting shot at by battleships is not a good thing. And Hood's demise, at least by Drachinifel's reckoning, was as she turned to bring X and Y turrets to bear a 15" shell managed to slip into a trough, hit under the armour belt and boom.

[@NRSGuardian]

From the investigations conducted by the Royal Navy after the Battle of Jutland they came to the conclusion that those Battlecruisers that were destroyed such as HMS Indefatigable were lost due to not following anti-flash safety measures to increase their rate of fire, but those Battlecruiser that survived such as HMS Lion followed anti-flash protocols and so survived the battle despite taking more hits than those Battlecruisers that were destroyed.

[@TheHirokaraka]

Also UK didn't have an opportunity to fight on the high seas for about a 100 years, not 300 (or 200 as he said the last time he repeated that myth).

Good Luck!

[@duncanhamilton5841]

You've gone a bit Max Hasting here old chap, need to correct/adjust some of the myths: - Hood's doors weren't open, that practice was completely stamped out after Jutland. She was under-armoured and seems to have taken a 1 in a million hit (Drach did a video on this). - German gunnery was better in 1914 because they had far better optics thanks to a certain Herr K Zeiss. Radar wasn't a thing in 1916. They also had visual advantage as I think Beatty had the sun to his back? - The shiny-ship thing was only part of the lack of training on gunnery - Beatty, for all his faults, IIRC was never given space or time to do gunnery practice with the battlecruiser squadron. - the lack of training, plus the generally poor optics, equalled poor accuracy = just lob more shit downrange - Beatty was zerg rushing with battlecruisers, like a total spanner. - German ship's sub-division was more comprehensive than the British, in part due to design philosophy brought about by the British need to sail vast distances around the Empire. - The Bismarck class (and the others) carried on this excessive subdivision from the WW1 designs because the German designers had picked up from where they'd left off in 1918. Some theories have been put forward that whilst it made the thing an absolute tank, it made for a difficult fighting platform.

[@timothyhouse1622]

Ah yes, talking about myths and then state that Hood was under-armored. Which is a myth.

[@duncanhamilton5841]

@@timothyhouse1622 well, comment made on the basis she was planned to be up armoured on the refit, and the accepted theory that she was attempting to close the range to Bismarck due to the thinner than desired deck armour. There's also the small matter that she blew up after taking 1 or more hits, which is objectively a lack of armour problem.

[@ruhnon331]

@@timothyhouse1622 Hood was laid down and (definitely originally, and I'd still argue at commissioning) as a Battle-Cruiser. The problem is that the naval treaties saw her Battleship cousins scrapped on the stocks, so we never got the reference point for what the post-WWI RN BB's would look like. Hood's armor layout and subdivision were much lighter than BB's, even if armor thickness and slope match up in certain places. Also, with a greater proportion of hull volume dedicated to the engineering plant, that means certain things like magazines, may wind up closer together than they would on a contemporary BB. So while saying Hood was under-armored is a bit inaccurate, Hood was definitely not armored to be at the tip of the spear in a Capital ship engagement.

[@showtime1004]

@@ruhnon331 Hood's armor layout was nearly identical to a QE. Look it up. While it may not have been brilliant by WW2 standards it would have been good enough if not for the 'golden BB' shot.

[@maxkennedy8075]

The issues with British gunnery in WW1 were serious but the Royal Navy did realize in its opening engagements like the Falkland Islands and Heligoland Bight and worked to fix it. The problem was that while Scapa Flow was big enough to practice gunnery in but the battlecruisers, in the Firth of Forth, would have to sail into the North Sea to practice. Too risky with the German fleet possibly coming out and submarines all over. This lead to the choice to prioritize rate of fire via removing anti flash measures. The Grand fleet was accurate at Jutland, with the Queen Elizabeth class landing some first salvo straddles with extremely tight groupings on Hipper. The battlecruisers really couldn’t hit much. By WW2 British gunnery, from the start at the River Plate and onwards was good. Later bolstered by some early adoption of radar fire control. Warspite famously scored one of the longest ranged naval gunnery hits ever at Calabria, Duke of York crippled Scharnhorst from great distance at North Cape and Mediterranean DD and CL fights tending to go the Royal Navy’s way, it was certainly a lessons learnt. Warships are for killing, not looking good.

[@Tuning3434]

Problem was aggravated by bad RN fuses, and sub-par penetration on their shells. This was solved by the introduction of Greenboy AP shells at the end of the war, which was able to penetrate better at larger contact angles.

[@balli7836]

One thing about the turtleback armour scheme: It prevents you from getting citadeled at close range especially. The chances of being immune to citadel hits are deteriorating the longer the range gets because plunging fire from long range defeats turtleback due to smashing through the deck from above and hitting the citadel roof. The thing with the destroyer is, what i think, a deliberate throw. He was most likely pissed at his teammate calling him out in the chat at the start of the battle, most likely because of, what he thought, were subpar stats. That's why you never should do stat shaming: It's not only unsportsmanlike but can also lead to your team getting defeated, because it is will have an impact on morale, leading to some of your teammates performing worse than usual and it can also be the case, like in this video, that victory or defeat depends on that one player, you have called out right at the start. This guy then may throw the game on purpose, because you pissed him off with your behaviour.

[@freddieclark]

I have to call Jingles out on the gunnery question. At Jutland the British Grand fleet had far better gunnery than the High Seas fleet. Had it not been for the failings of the British common shell the battle would have been a decisive victory. Adm Hood's Battlecruisers were very accurate as were several of the British battleships, including Jellicoe's flagship. The first time that the “T” was crossed saw highly effective gunnery from the Grand Fleet with 23 main calibre shell hits on the HSF. In the last hour before sunset, British hits on German ships were 49 against three. There was a reason why Scheer spent the whole engagement desperately trying to get away. The ammunition problem Jingles is referring to was pretty much confined to the BC's under the command of Adm Beatty.

We were also advised by many not to buy premiums higher in tier than the regular ships we were playing - the Dirpitz was so named because it was bought in droves by those who ignored this advice!

[@sleepygryph]

It seems that short a magazine hit, the destruction of all engineering spaces, the depopulation of the crew almost, or just outright catastrophic damage naval ships seem to be almost impossible to sink as long as they have a combination of hull integrity, crew, or power. The most decisive way though seems to be magazine hits as with the Hood and Arizona or massive ordinance such as the Tallboy with the Tirpitz.

[@UberFubar75]

Jingles old chap. Let's not forget the fact that the Bismarck got the world's luckiest shot, hitting the Hood on the only part of her deck that was still wooden as it hadn't been upgraded to steel deck armour as the rest of her had. Unfortunately that particular part of the aft deck was directly above her main ammo stores. If my memory serves me correctly of course.

[@ahseaton8353]

The Tirpitz's very existence in various Norwegian fjords formed what Alfred Thayer Mahan (the American Naval Theorist) called "A Fleet in Being". Because the Tirpitz might, maybe, on a good day, and Hitler not noticing, come out and ruin a Murmansk's convoy's day. So the Brits were forced to keep enough ships around to kill the Tirpitz if it did ever get loose. That is even without the air / submarine / special forces continually trying to sink it. Mahan pointed out that a much smaller fleet can tie up a much larger enemy force for as long as it exists, even if the smaller force can't win, or even never comes out to fight.

[@YYZ1166]

To sink the Tirpitz, the royal air force switched to 2000 lb (I believe) bombs called dam busters. The Tirpitz was in shallow water, and the captain thought that it would sink to the bottom but still be able to be to keep shooting. The bombs had made such massive craters, that the Tirpitz ended up capsizing.

[@matthewwadwell6100]

You dropped a zero in the bomb weight - they were Barnes Wallis's 10 ton _"Grand Slam"_ bombs. Designed to penetrate through 100+ feet of concrete/rock - the Tirpitz's armour was _severely_ overmatched......

The reason the Battlecruisers had crap accuracy is they were based in the Firth of Fourth and couldn’t conduct practice without going to sea, which was inherently too dangerous to justify do without it being a Sorte where as the Grand Fleet could practice inside Scapa Flow. So it had nothing to do with archaic practices of what is most likely the late 19th Century, and everything to do with where the ships are based.

Hood didn't explode because of open ammunition handling doors, the shot penetrated the armor under the water line where the wake of the ship exposed it, so the shell didnt detonate in the water but managed to penetrate the magazine itself. No door was going to stop that amount of explosive force

Happy Easter Jingles! Thank you for being part of my daily commute playlist!

[@mceajc]

I love "Storytime with Jingles". Nice game, thrown horribly.

[@ERAUsnow]

Despite Jingles bragging about how much naval history he reads, AND despite the loss of HMS Hood being one of the most heavily-investigated sinkings in RN history... Our gnomish overlord proceeds to get every single fact about Hood's sinking wrong except for which ship did it. SMH

[@redsaints]

Except that is also of question, even the possibility that Hood blew herself up.

[@ERAUsnow]

@@redsaints Yeah, no it's not. Eugen didn't have the firepower to get through Hood's hull armor from any angle, and every report from witnesses describe the telltale jet of flame from an ammunition propellant fire before the main detonation. If Hood's own main battery had flashed down to the 15" propellant magazine, she'd have gone up instantly a-la Jutland. That propellant fire was from something other than the 15" magazine, and the only thing in the way based on analysis of the ships positioning was the 4.2" secondary magazine that was added as part of her 1927 refit, and the only thing that could have gotten to that magazine was a 15" AP shell from Biz.

To Jingles, by heart. For me the Tirpitz's main mark on history is that she highlights the power of the aircraftcarrier, and aircraft from a different perspective such as direct combat like Prince of Whales had. So for me she embodies the hollowness Battleships feel in the changing tides of history. Her sistership did that too, to a lesser degree. Where Whales scored a critical hit in battle, it was the CV; Victorious or ARK Royal, i forgot, who scored another, more critical, critical hit, denying her escape, and a chance to make it out alive. And here is where i don't agree with you Jingles: In a nutshell you explain that the British didn't rely as much on radar as the Germans did(also you explained it on your video about the Hood already old man(sorry)). But even after the FuMO radar was damaged, the British excessively praised her guns and gunners' accuracy, and Brits don't praise often. This was just because she was so well designed that in order not to have to praise the enemy too much they decided on what impressed them most, seeing as things such as her propulsion were not as notable to the British except for the fact that they kept losing track of her throughout the chase. And so the Brits thought:"Can't give them too much, so lets give them that". I am just kidding, to a degree. I learned this arrogance from you, father Jingles. I get that people have that misconception because of the lucky, yet not truth-diffusing hit on the Hood, which you yourself explained to me why it happened, similar to her armor, which was not an electromagnetic field, powerful enough to repell and or misdirect shells or any objects, but state of the art engineering, such as the entire ship. And this engeneering expertiese is what germans should take pride in, not in the sinking of the Hood, or her resiliance, these are impressive feats as a result of her capabilities which are a result of the spirit of the nation which built her, as all warships are, hence why these ships have souls. You surely understand the nature of history in connection to people's minds. So her gunnery was as excellent as people say, but probably most of them don't know why and just use this true fact to boost their ego as they always do, and with that i am not happy either. Also, old man, you explained Hood's survivablity deficit again, after which you immedietly went on and elaborated that it is the same reason why British battlecruisers detonated at Skagerrak, but in the video about Hood you explained that Hood's armor was modified as a result of the results at the battle of Skagerrak, which added all kinds of problems, for which a solution was the risky placement of her ammunition. So... how can what you said make sense except for that the british didn't know that ammunition types such as AP could exist, i am really interested about that because i love Hood too and i want to know the truth. So did you make a mistake, or were the ammunition hoists really already vulnurable back then ? So why did they make the same mistake knowing that yes, it would shield her from HE, but not from AP, or did they just not want to ever use her against enemies with AP shells, i can imagine that, but if yes, did the man intentionally sacrifice Hood ? These are all questions in my mind, i would like your knowledge to help me out here. Thank you.

[@urishima]

if I remember correctly, according to Drach the force of main gun batteries firing messing with targeting systems wasn't just a problem for the Bismark.

A note about using carriers to escort convoys: Jingles is right about the slow speed making carriers impractical for escort duty, though for more reasons than just being an easier shot for enemy submarines. Depending on the specific plane you're looking at, a WW2-era carrier being limited to 9 knots might mean certain of the heavier planes can't even take off. Most launches at the time involved the carrier sailing at full speed into the wind to help give the planes an aeronautical boost, increasing the speed of the airflow over their wings as they took off by 20+ knots. Catapults were a thing, but were still in their infancy: most groups that used them (the IJN didn't bother with them on carriers at all) used _hydraulic_ cats rather than the more modern steam-driven systems invented in the 50's. At most, they'd be used for the first couple crates in a flight (or for lumbering beasts that can't launch any other way), and the rest would take off conventionally now that they had more deck space to work with. Given that the most useful carrier aircraft to make an enemy submarine or commerce raider decide to get lost would be the heavier types like dive- and torpedo bombers, a carrier would be among my last choices for escorting a convoy.

[@vermas4654]

Someone: yeah we will loose, DD worthless The DD: alright, since youre saying that, ill do so, but only at the end of the match just to spite you

[@jameshanlon5689]

A ship that will pass inspections will not pass battle, and a ship that will pass battle will not pass inspection. The same goes for an Army.

[@davekachuk1995]

Yeah the Crusier on our team was bad... Nothing but complained and screwed around... Nothing like getting on Jingles video and seeing my Bismark sank. LOL

[@tbjtbj7930]

While we are listing all the things Jingles got wrong (the Jingles effect was in full force today) let's note that the vast majority of attacks on Tirpitz were by the FAA. The problem was the British didn't have anything big enough to get through her armoured deck until Tallboy.

[@aco319sig3]

That almost HAD to be deliberate.

[@eagle_and_the_dragon]

Good luck tomorrow Jingles. I know the news is most likely unfortunate; but we should always keep both outcomes in mind.

[@nailbombx2311]

First guy to Die complaining about the DD seems like Normal WoWS Game to me! If i was that Benson, and I did enough to save my star, i would 100% throw that game!

[@geoffreyrichardson8738]

Yes Bismarck lost her main RADAR with her first salvo firing at HMS Sheffield in the Denmark straight, why Prinz Eugan was in the lead the next morning when Hood and Prince of Wales closed in.

[@korbell1089]

Yeah, that was intentional, and I agree about the chat, they must have really pissed him off to get him to throw it like that!

[@Legendendear]

It was not only the chat I bet, but his team throwing themselves into the meatgrinder from a winning position and getting themselves sunk in the process. And Benson might have been very vocal about it in team chat, but since he has been silent the entire match in allchat I doubt it.

[@Geoff31818]

Bismarck didn’t hit hood on her first salvo and hood a magazine practises were up to par with everyone else her loss was down to a very lucky hit

[@peacefulpleb]

"Crabair" and the Tirpitz what can one say, they were good at bombing big targets like, dams, V2 development, the Ruhr and Berlin.

[@gjbriggs]

All the best for your scan on Sunday.

[@davidlabedz2046]

Agreed with Jingles. It's an epic throw!

[@tommay6590]

Thanks for the edutainment…and good luck for Sunday 🤞🖖like the Vulcans saying it.

[@lqdxoni1]

wow that was a quick throws we just had one you're spoiling us.

[@ArterialCanine]

Tigger needs to remember to select his targets for priority targeting of his secondaries.

[@slimj091]

I heard from somewhere that the Tripitz was a sister ship to the Bismark. Crazy.

[@jwilliams703]

Tirpitz also fired his main guns at the aircraft that attacked it. I think that counts as anger.

[@Heimtun86]

Good video, but as a committed secondary BB player I cannot express my frustrations of this guy not one time, not ONCE would focus his secondaries on a single target. But GG🙂

[@Tuishimi]

Wow that one was frustrating. All the Benson had to do was scram...

[@markmccombes7874]

Upon hearing seven players per side, I went immediately to the comments section, that's my style sir!

[@harmless-kun]

8:16 "Bruh...." hahaha

[@swordmonkey6635]

Yeah, between the death of Nelson and the promotion of Jackie Fisher to First Sea Lord, the RN was a beauty pageant more than a fighting force ready to throw down. Daily routine in the RN was about polishing brass and painting.

[@deathscthye02]

There are three ships in history remembered only because of their tragically spectacular deaths. HMS Hood at the hands of the Bismark. The Bismark after she monumentally pissed off the entirety of the British Navy for the aforementioned brutal murder of Hood. Lastly the USS Arizona accounting for the majority of the losses at Pearl Harbor, resulting in the slow but brutal demise in the entirety of the Japanese Navy at the hands of Enterprise and sister carriers.
