Homeboy went all game just casually farming from a distance, then right at the end said "hold my beer" and went all Christian Bale in Equilibrium on the entire remaining enemy team.

[@jaywerner8415]

AKA how you play cruisers in WOWS these days. With all the BATTLESHIPS that can over match even the DES MONIES armor, you kinda have no choice but to hang back and farm.

[@lonewolf3869]

@@jaywerner8415 yup this is what WoW has become stale boring game play. Ya and none of the BB pushed so staying back isn't meta for cruiser its meta for the whole dam game YAWN BORING.🤣😂🤣

[@Sipsy301]

@@jaywerner8415 You say they can all overmatch but god damn does the WOWS rng work it's ass off to stop you from overmatching

@@jaywerner8415 Did they finally released Supership based on Shikihima/Yamato? That'll be very disgusting and fun to play (to ruin other's day).

[@DerPolygonianer]

Totally underrated Movie.

[@saltefan5925]

Props to that enemy shimakaze captain. That was a very good performance on his part up until that final mistake.

[@dannythomson5239]

one mistake at the wrong time can for sure wreck your day.

[@AR-hi1hy]

Might've figured they had it in the bag and just got a bit complacent. I know I've been guilty of that myself enough times, to my eternal shame.

[@FazCraft]

i think he believed his torpedo's would have wiped out the Salem then he could take the DD unfortunately he missed tbh tho if they never fixed that torpedo aiming bug he could of been plagued by that but i haven't played in awhile so idk the state of the game atm

[@Tearnofear]

imho, a Shima on the A-Line? Naa c'mon

[@MFenix206]

he probably figured "eh it has been 18 minutes the dude has probably used all his radars"

[@AndreShepperd]

Jingles!! I was the SOMERS in this game, what a banger!! I've upload my replay to the wows replay site if anyone would like to see how it went down from my perspective! And a huge thanks to the Salem for pulling this one off, +1

[@Just2Epic4U]

MVP goes to that Somers cpt. He got the most critical kills and point captures when his team needed it the most with his microscopic amount of health. Well played IMO.

[@kevinyoung5728]

I want to throw another vote in for Somers MVP in case that Captain ever sees this. Damn good game bud.

[@AndreShepperd]

@@kevinyoung5728 Much love, thank you for the props!

[@AndreShepperd]

It was a fun game for sure, thanks for the shout-out!

[@AnimeSunglasses]

_DAMNED_ well played, indeed!

[@dylanbailey2812]

Holy shit what an ending. Glad to have a replay where the protagonist actually knows what he's doing. Granted, the enemies at the end didn't have to push, but at least they all pushed together

[@donluffyni9162]

It's also refreshing to se that the enemy team at least tried to win harder with team work. Everybody was in a more or less good position relative to the rest of the team. Shame they encountered our Terminator here xD

[@kevinyoung5728]

@@donluffyni9162 Agreed the only thing I could have seen them do different was for the Shimi to stay to the north and get 3 directions of fire at the Salem/Somers. Though from the looks of it I believe he was trying to join up with the 2 cruisers and let his big brothers protect him....which I can understand that idea as well.

[@Executioner9000]

What really gets me at the end is that looked like a coordinated ambush by the entire team, and yet they all got crushed by like one guy....

[@SpaceGhost1984]

Call an ambulance... but not for me.

[@MrDirigible]

yeah Salem got very lucky not to be blown away by Tromps 6in guns broadside @18:34

[@Meonium]

Agreed. Other than Shimakaze final mistake, they actually did legit ambush strategy and not the usual sudden rush of shit to the brain. Very well played match.

[@5peciesunkn0wn]

Coordinated up until the Marlie tried to get out of the salem's guns despite not being the target lol.

[@guantanamoebay13]

The whole game I was sitting there thinking „Yeah, it’s a good damage game, he’s using his ship really well, guess this is an episode where Jingles shows us how to properly use the Salem“ and then I got to 18:10. What a chad that guy is lol

[@marschu2]

This was such a close and fun game right until the end. Probably because there were no submarines, superships or carriers involved..

[@cgilleybsw]

18:10 - "so of course... ha ha ha" quintessential jingles. It's 730am on the east coast of the US, and I just blew coffee all over my screen. Never give up Jingles - just keep going.

[@hamstsorkxxor]

That enemy Shimakaze really made this video incredibly exciting! Every good story needs a competent villain. In fact, this entire video was like a miniature movie, with drama, a underdog story, a darkest moment, and a happy twist ending!

Even a non player like me can see our hero Salem had his A game going.

Happy birthday!

[@StephenCole1916]

I find it a bit interesting that you feature a USS Salem replay on the 83rd anniversary of the Battle of the River Plate. The USS Salem was used to depicte the Admiral Graf Spee in the 1956 movie; The Battle of the River Plate.

[@chrishogancamp6193]

Maybe when the Salem asked "Can I have a smoke?" the Harugumo thought "Sorry dude I'm out of Cigarettes". Or he thought Jingles always says that smokes are torpedo magnets so I better not use mine.

[@aliabdallah2235]

Or maybe the Harugumo was being radared by enemy Salem, he is like 7-8km away from it maybe? Or maybe he didn't equip smoke consumable, i know that the shimakaze can choose between smoke and torpedo reload booster. Or maybe he used it but coz of server side lag (or just normal lag, but with wows rather crappy servers, it's probably the prior) the ship didn't lay a smoke. Or maybe he forgot he had one (with >95% in BBs I do that often). Or maybe she was busy complaining in forum that everyone assumes she is a "he". Or maybe...

[@rickflash448]

19:18 Tromp: *chuckles* I'm in danger.

[@hiddentruth1982]

something I've noticed about the tromp id the planes will come from the direction of the tromp. a little something that can help show you where it's at.

[@salicazsali]

Jesus christ that zooming in and out spam made this touch to watch.

[@splatterdaysaint9024]

What a match, Kudos to the Salem player, that was one of the most exciting replays ive seen on this channel in the almost 10 years ive been following.

[@guantanamoebay13]

Saying that the Salem is a bad ship is like saying it’s bad pizza. Yeah, there are some arguments to be made but at the end of the day it’s still pizza.

[@santiagokoprummel7340]

that was an amazingly unexpected ending! phenomenal

[@jacobsekela8691]

That was a well-coordinated ambush by the rest of the enemy team at the end but they really got extremely, extremely unlucky there. What a huge turn of events - snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

[@ElementZephyr]

This is No Smoke December, Jingles.

[@prestonbrandt1412]

Tldr: Add a minesweeper ship type to game for more interesting game play around islands. Also love your content! Hey, just an idea I am throwing out here comment section. What do you guys think of a new ship type called a minesweeper? These would essentially be smaller than a submarine, have less than 10,000 hp, but be extremely fast. They would be able to disarm mines laid by other minesweepers or from submarines. The mine would work where it has three depths: surface, shallow, and deep. Surface will do set damage to all ships that ended the activation range, and are easiest to detect. Shallow would damage all ships but destroyers, and can be detonated by torpedos. Deep mines can only hurt battleships, submarines, and carriers. These minesweepers would have 1 or 2 smaller secondary guns, and would have a sonar sweep function that marks enemy mines for whole team to see. However you would have to sonar sweep for only one of the three mine types at a time. That would and the challenge of having to wait around and not get shot at while you wait for your ping to recharge. If you think this is a good idea Mighty Jingles, I will bring this idea to Wows developers. Anyways on another note, love your content. Please keep doing it!

[@robdog1245]

Goes back to the old “it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.”

[@micheljavert5923]

What the actual f&ck, dude.... That Shima played a damn near *perfect* game then decided to rub his face against a radar cruiser? Edit: Maybe the Shima thought the Salem was out of radar. I know I've caught DDs out by having one charge left near the end of a match.

[@DougO_]

I'd nominate this one for Game of Throws, not a stand-alone. Thanks Jingles, a great start to the day!

[@tallleprechaun1318]

The enemy team didn’t really throw though. The shimakaze just tried to link up with the cruisers and was caught by radar and ai don’t really think the cruisers could have truly disengaged completely they were too close. Then, even if the last enemy destroyer had ran away and lived, I think Yeeyew’s team could have won on points.

[@nikholai2142]

@@tallleprechaun1318 its a throw 100%. At 940points all they had to do was just go to a corner and stay undetected. But no, they want to win harder.

[@Alitmos]

I'm actually surprised this wasn't a game of throws title. Edit: I commented just before he disclaimed why it wasn't.

[@Silenthunter199]

The title sums up 75% of my games where team decides to camp on domination map and enemy rushes and kills everybody.

[@mihaitha]

"Probably the Tromp, might be the Austin, somebody on the enemy team is flipping the cap circle at Charlie as well" Meanwhile, the remaining ships on the enemy team are a Tromp, a Salem, a Shima and a Marseille. Never change, Jingles, never change.

[@cgross82]

Excellent video, Jingles! Thanks for sharing! I had a similar experience in my Des Moines recently, when a wild Worcester and a Petropavlosk suddenly emerged from behind an island in front of me, both showing broadside. Needless to say, it was the last mistake they made during that particular battle.

[@saabstory69420]

I just sent in a Salem replay and got so excited when I first saw this.

[@Melanie16040]

Wow... That was an amazing finish!

[@JulianRodriguez-sv8de]

I don't think the Salem captain pressed the shift key enough

[@TroaBarton]

A rare sight seeing a shima that thinks those weird tube things that don’t shoot torpedoes are actually guns.

[@gaborferenc2276]

re Shima question: what might have happened: shima was sailing at full speed north, Haru was sailing full speed south, that's like 70+ knots combined. Shima spotted the Haru and started to turn, but couldn't on time before sailing into spotting range. Just watch the minimap. [yeah, noob error, I'm sometimes guilty of running into something like that face first myself] Although the shima could have dropped an escape smokescreen to save her skin, while she had like 7K HP. it's enough to spam torpedoes for the rest of the match and to spot for the team if nothing else.

[@kasimir9203]

6:16 triple fire? im pretty sure that is a quad fire goin to town on that guy jingles never change buddy

[@DevilWarshipper]

Also kudos to the Conqueror, *the* single most tanky ship vs fires, that can simply let two, if not three fires burn, for choosing to extinguish a single fire while on full HP and pushing in to a Salem and a Thunderer. Truly a big brain move! Sigh…

[@sovietalex]

The Salem remains my go-to ship whenever I need Citadel hits for an event. And the Des Moines AA superiority is a myth. Salem has lots of 76mm guns which can actually cause damage. All that close range dakka on the Des Moines can only hit planes during their attack runs, when they’re immune to damage.

[@tsunami729]

“Alexia, play ‘Ain’t Our Time To Die’” And then just charges forward into the fray

[@suryia6706]

The ending was like a Jack Rearcher movie were the gang has the snot kicked out of them 😂

[@oldschoolgaming4763]

Never expect a Harugumo to give up a smoke because sitting in smokes and farming is what they do so doing that you pretty much as him to give away 50-60 K damage. When playing a Shima tho I would definitely give away a smoke for a radar cruiser that volunteers to push in and cover my back. Could be good to point out 2 potential critical mistakes. At 09:16 the Shima gets spotted 11 km away from the Salem and stays detected for a good while, but instead of helping the Somers to take Shima out he sits and aims at the Slava. Shima could have been killed right there. At 14:39 there was 5 min left on the clock and he has 3 superheals left. There is no reason to save those 3, instead he should have used one to heal as much as he could and then he would have another one of cooldown when the last fight happened and also with more HP. He could have gotten killed in the last fight, the green bar doesn't matter until it turns yellow (health) so just one good strike from the Tromp or a hit from Marseille could have resulted in a loss.

[@rossrowley]

That conqueror also just.... sat there.... forever.... didn't angle, didn't move.... it just... sat there...

[@gamkem1405]

I have slowly been getting better with my Shimikaze. I had a really good outing last weekend unit. Sunk 2 tier 10 battleships and won a gun fight with another Dd. Our team got the win too so that made it all the better! Thanks Jingles for the video! Merry Christmas!

[@Vinemaple]

I remember some Japanese destroyers having the option to forego a smokescreen for a torpedo reload booster. Not sure about these two, but it might be possible that at least one of them didn't have his smokescreen equipped.

[@marcuswaterson]

That was for the torpedo boat line but only for the tier 8 and 9 I believe; the Shimakaze didn't get changed during the line rearranging so doesn't have that option.

[@R005t3r]

No matter how much I'd like to play this game again, my 'Stupid Allergy' just won't allow it.

[@chickenjoe717]

Was starting to get motion sickness watching this guy zoom in and out and in and out and in and out

[@kaderdebar2852]

Very impressive performance! However... I can't stop thinking of why that Salem did not even try to chase down that Shima as soon as he spotted the first set of torps?? That enormous mistake cost them a lot of ships, the inability to properly push the center of the map, and nearly cost them the entire game! And the Salem, although a little far when the Shima was first spotted, went in the opposite direction... Remember kids : when a DD is spotted, you MUST focus on him. especially a Shima right in the middle of your fleet!

[@carelhaasbroek1575]

Lunch time procrastination for me. Right on time.

[@Taliyon]

I love Jingles recaps! What a finish!

Genuinely thought this would end differently, based on the title.

[@ELJefeReviews]

[@iron_side5674]

I STAN the Salem. And i don´t use this term lightly, i WILL fight you if you slander my baby! Her ability to take a stand and keep those guns firing has been the demise of many an opposing force that found their Manpants and thought i wasn´t ready for them. The Salem is ALWAYS READY. When the Salem is dug in, the best you can do is push it, the best for the Salem, that is.

Props to the Salem player. He was careful and kept his distance early game farming from a kiting position. However he pushed in immediately when the game was on the line. He did not, I repeat, did not sail to the edge of the map.

[@itcsmount6504]

A real nail-biter in this naval version of rock-paper-scissors. And if you ever find yourself at an American Civil War reenactment and you hear a Confederate reenactor (perhaps with a New England twang 'cause everybody wants to play gray and do the rebel yell) say, "Hey y'all, hold my beer and watch this," dive behind a rock or a tree - QUICK.

this is the most fitting name for a video ever this end was hilarious thx for showing

[@orkstuff5635]

[@Alex-qc6wk]

Salem isn't worse than the Des Moines, but the Des Moines is a lot more comfortable in different situations> The very good heal can save your game where you'd just die in the Des Moines, but more often hydro + an actually usable radar will help you out more.

[@jasonswingle1880]

At the end it got vicious really quick. Thank God there's droolers in the game.

I knew this game was kind of special just by seeing the utter stupidity of both the Harugumo and Shimakaze. XD

[@l7986]

Not all of us have millions of commander xp points to automatically retrain our captains. Shima is most likely retraining his Yugumo captain.

[@InternetEntity]

Poor enemy Shima... Successfully plays sneakily for half a game, successfully brawls for half a game. Then the team decides to go for the kills, moves up to help, 4v2 which quickly becomes 3v1... And loses.

[@cvic9842]

That ending couldn't have been more perfect if it was scripted, wow

[@TheFuzzypuddle]

shima's get spotted by dd's with worse concealment because they are fast and played too aggressively. the player hits spood beast to get about 42kts, steers bow in toward the enemy, and throws caution to the wind. when they spot a dd that is also going full speed toward them, they can't turn around quickly enough before the distance closes to their concealment range. It's a matter of inexperience or understanding. people don't realize how quickly they are closing with the enemy.

[@themistikcrow]

[@MrDirigible]

@18:34 the Salem was extremely lucky that the Tromp didn't citadel him broadside on with the two salvos that struck his side. This game really was an unlucky series of events for the enemy team - Salem should have been blown out of the water even by the 6in guns of the CL i mean DD Tromp.
