[@The_real_Arovor]

Fun fact, 28km range may sound extreme for WoWs, but the Iowa‘s guns actually were able to shoot 38km far. So yeah 😅

[@CrinosAD]

Yamoto's range was 42km

[@usssouthdakota5541]

The scharnhorst and Gneisenau actually had 40km range on their 11 inch guns and the Bismarck had 36 km, WoWs nerfs everything down to scale them to the maps

[@rainerfantasie9573]

​@@usssouthdakota5541I wouldn't like to start from Gotenhafen and then sail for 5 days to just start a battle. So thanks Wargaming for downscaling things. 😅

[@zackakai5173]

True, although also worth noting that was the *maxium* range. I don't have numbers, but from what I've read the actual effective range (at least as far as being able to reliably hit, say, a capital ship-sized target) was somewhat less.

[@RichardHardslab]

Was that before or after the gangsta lean?

[@evanlawrence7289]

USS Montana was actually half built, but halfway through her construction the navy decided we need more carriers and Midway was born.

[@stCOMMANDER_TE]

Different Montana. The one that was about 40% built was a 1920s era South Dakota class super dreadnought. The Montana that most people know and love had some steel cut & a handful of MK-7 406mm barrels set aside in preparation for construction. Unfortunately the entire class was canceled before construction could start

[@FallenDemon94]

wasn't after they laid the keel they stopped the construction?

[@Jasperdog3329]

No, just no. I don't know where this rumor originated but all the Montana-class battleships were cancelled before any construction was started. Not a single keel was ever laid. Period. The hull form is not remotely the same between these two vessels. Some moron tried to go on about this with Drachinifel and he mentioned it the other day as one of the strangest fan interactions ever; guy was very aggressive about being wrong. The only thing the Midway-class carriers and the Montana-class battleships have in common is that the type and arrangement of the propulsion systems for the Midways was largely based upon the proposed Montana design.

[@baronofrhodes1185]

You might be confused with the carrier USS United States (in game as a super CV) was laid down and the keel was complete, with much of the steel allocated, but she was canceled on the ways.

[@Big_Loo]

Wrong Montana. The USS Montana BB-51 was canceled while under construction due to the Washington Naval Treaty. USS Montana BB-67 was never canceled before construction began.

[@thestormai449]

7:15 well of course the carrier ricocheted all those shots, his name is 'weld my butt shut' so nothing can get in!

[@wargamingsupernoob]

Im a welder. That name made me bust out laughing!

[@markrobson8747]

Jingles,so hoping your health is getting better dear sir. We're in Western Queensland and absolutely love your world of anything. Keep well and repair your health above any levels available.

[@testaccountpleaseignore2653]

To be fair, neither shot on the Moskva was RNG. The first shot, the moskva angled in and took it on the belt, while on the second shot, BelowAveragePotato specifically aimed for the upper nose of the Moskva, as he knew he could overmatch that part.

[@Hyppehest]

You forgot "Acktually, Jingles" :D

[@JLewisRacing927]

100%, as soon as I fired the first shot I saw him start to angle and knew they’d bounce

[@tomriley5790]

The first salvo on the broadside Montana was just poorly aimed too...

[@armorhide406]

Funny that 38 km is about 23 miles. In game range is 23 km, innit?

[@StuartKoehl]

The actual range of the Mk.7 16"/50-cal gun was on the order of 45 km. Its effective range, limited only by the radar horizon, was about 30,000 meters. At the Battle of Surigao Strait, the USS West Virginia, armed with 16"/45-cal guns, but sporting the same fire control system as a fast battleship, scored a first salvo hit on IJN Kirishima at 22,000 meters--without visually sighting the target. So, yeah, the guns and fire control system were THAT goo. The 16"/45 was, in fact, slightly more effective at long range, because its lower muzzle velocity gave it a steeper trajectory for plunging fire.

[@DavidMartin-ym2te]

That would have been a clever shot, the Kirishima went down at Savo Island in 1942...

[@StuartKoehl]

@@DavidMartin-ym2te Sorry, I meant Yamashiro. Thanks for catching that.

[@fenner1986]

That 6 ricochet reaction on the carrier was hilarious lmao.

[@gblowe62]

If a carrier waits in Que to long, MM does a que dump to get them in battle. Super Carriers have an even shorter wait time. I've been in a 3 v 3 random during prime time for just this reason.

[@em1osmurf]

i was aboard uss jfk in the late 80s during the "storm of the century". million of dollars of severe damage. yes, carriers care about cyclones. a lot of folks got hurt, too. white water over the pilot house, on a carrier! there used to be video of the waves breaking over the flight deck. 6 months in the shipyard for repairs after that.

[@n8tivehunter08stitch6]

Would definitely want to see a trio of Maine's focus fire targets like a trio of Lyons would

[@shaytheswift_4327]

Damn. Just when I needed some quality entertainment.😂

[@matthewsykes4814]

You do know this is World of Bullshit, right?? heh, have a great weekend

[@itsmebatman]

Having a radar in a cyclone is also great. The enemy can only see 8km but if you use your radar you can see them as far as your radar goes. That catches people off guard all the time.

[@Camooses]

Being from Maine, I was so looking forward to this ship. We're cursed that our only state ship is famous because of the Spanish-American War, and BB's didn't survive long enough for us to get another one. After all these years of playing, I finally have USS Maine, so happy. Just need to wait a bit for the popularity dying down so it won't be 3 Maine's on each team in MM.

[@SonOfAB_tch2ndClass]

The Maine is a Battleship Design I made in Highschool! lol I even had a name for it 16^2 guns!

[@Wolfeson28]

Some real prize player names in this one.🤣🤣 Aside from our featured subpar tuber, we also have: - WeldMyButtShut (probably a sentiment Jingles could relate to recently) - deadlyfartsss (somehow *not* in a division with the above) - StupidSexyFlanders (classic Simpsons fan🫡) - DerpyTopatos (likely a distant, rarely-discussed cousin of our protagonist) - InfinityTacoz (because why not)

[@balli7836]

A slightly angeled carrier can even ricochet off japanese 510 mm shells from Shikishima and Satsuma, so i wasn't surprised.

[@emberfist8347]

Actually Jingles the Department of the Navy made the fantasy that was the Montana class. The Department of Defense wasn’t formed until 1947.

[@gregoryfolsom7882]

The DoD was just a reskin of the War Department.

The Montana actually had full paper design, and a artists rendition. It purpose was to defeat the Yamato, and her sister ship, and any other super battleship. But the two Japanese ships where sunk by aircraft, and the war ended. So the project was canceled.

[@escarfangorn]

@@laer6919 You got your tenses confused there, mate. I do not quit this game, I've quit a year ago. :) A major boon to one's mental health not dealing with what this game has become. :D

[@sksjshsjd9904]

@@escarfangorn the past tense of quit is quit bonehead

[@escarfangorn]

​@@sksjshsjd9904 It is the same in three forms, but to avoid ambiguity you either use "I have quit" or "I quitted" or include timeframe in the sentence "I quit 5 months ago". Since the person used temporally ambiguous version which is most often used to indicate present tense, I'm free to read it in a semantic range that is most obvious to me based on my experience with the language and education. Especially since I've been primarily taught Queen's English and only had to deal with American bastardized version during my university education. That's 38 years of using the English used in south of England vs just 5 years in Uni plus whatever filtered down by consuming US media. On all my electronics my English locale is set to UK English, not US. Calling someone a bonehead without taking into account the intricacies and variations of the English language is a bit daft. You do you, though. You're trying to insult the intelligence of someone using secondary language, one of several known, because of something you perceived as an error in their statement. Is that the best use of you time? :) For me this conversation isn't, just had a chuckle at your comment and decided to respond. And now, it is EOT for me. :D I don't like toxic people. One of the reasons why I have quit this game ~1 year ago. :) You're just proving, that the decision was right.

[@joeldh7567]

Glad you're back Jingles

[@starflame34]

I think the enemy CV threw. Why was he just chilling close to C for SO LONG!? He knew the Devastation was close to him and instead of taking advantage of the cyclone to retreat, he just reverses slowly the entire time! It's even more hilarious when after he "dies" and uses his remaining planes to sink the Devastation, he's like "FINALLY" in chat. Dude, you could have sunk him AND still be alive if you just left the area!

[@minaxims]

17:20 ohhh i get it Jingles, haha, *main* target, because he's piloting the *Maine* ? 😉 Yeah, yeah I know. Off to the salt mines I go for that joke...

Maine can benefit with Anti Fire build. By getting super heavy AP shells. This does stack with Funny Button. Which makes you reduce fire damage by 75%.

They should give the Maine an option for 4x3 18" (457mm) guns instead of the 4x4 16" (406mm).

[@Aetherometricist]

6 ricochets... excellent gif.

[@defiant9809]

Actually Jingles ! I have seen Photos. On the internet. Of two of the Montana Class BB's Hulls. That were Partially built. But later scrapped. So The Montana Class did Exist for a short time. All be it incomplete. In the Photos they were really not much beyond just the keels. The Montana-class design was completed, and orders for construction were placed as early as 1939. The U.S. Navy authorized five Montana class battleships (BB-67 through BB-71) in 1940 as part of the "Two Ocean Navy" building program and funded in 1941, but construction was canceled in 1943. The cancellation was due to production priorities shifting to aircraft carriers, destroyers, and submarines. Imagine a Main class BB. Armed with 16. Of the Ohio class BB 18 inch Guns. firing Super heavy AP.

[@montro2220]

15:08 Moskva captain: Oh look 16 Super Heavy AP shells floating this way from less than 8km away, no problem: *Activate ze Stalanium Shields!* That is some real BS there 😆That Moskva should have been clapped back to port right there and then.

Ironically enough on console, there is also a USS Maine. Unfortunately, she's VASTLY different from her PC counterpart. The console version is basically a sub-variant of the USS Montana with 10 16-inch guns arranged in the same turret configuration as the USS Pensacola. Personally, I prefer the PC version more. I like the overall hull design of the vessel.

The spotting limitations in a cyclone has the right idea. ALL ships spotted by airplanes or other ships, that you don't see, should only appear on the mini map. Even that is the tech possible since computers were put on ships to sort out the data. CV's launching planes in a cyclone is almost as bad as them launching while the deck is being hit by masses of shells.

Looks to me like Below_Average and his fellow survivors carried a victory of one crappy team against another crappy team. Nothing else in this match, except perhaps the actions of the Devastation and the enemy Kitakaze, were in any way encumbered by the thought process. Enemy lemming train blunders down to A, ships charge fearlessly into A and B and take them at great cost, but even so, if it wasn't for our heroes Below_Average_Potato, the United States, and the Forrest Sherman, that might have been a winning tactic, because the rest of the friendly team struggled to take advantage of all the juicy targets.
