World of Warships - From Zero To Hero

The way this guy underleads his shots is just painful.

[@flaviosalatino8192]

Yeap, truly painful to watch, both in under leading and not getting what kind of manouver he was going to do. The battle is fun, but a pain to watch.

[@Cheemster13]

I can never understand why some people who know that they aren't particularly good at aiming refuse to watch where their shots land in order to make the necessary adjustments.

[@peterhineinlegen4672]

Target choice was bad too. Let's skip the four stationary broadsides not even looking this way for the only one who is angling and moving.

[@davidlabedz2046]

I either overhead or underlead. Yeah, nor good.

[@fullmetalpoitato5190]

OMG I was squirming in my chair. There were even several occasion against the CV where he initially was aiming in about the right spot and then CORRECTED to a bad aiming position.

the AA on soviet BBs was made squishy at that time, a change that they have recently reversed

[@thepewplace1370]

This was fun, but also frustrating to watch. I'm assuming Dave is new to this ship and the way it handles as some of the positioning goofs were probably due to not knowing how slowly the ship gains and loses speed, but mainly it's the faulty aiming of the main guns that speaks to this. However, despite these issues, he got the big hits when it counted, kept himself in the game to the end, and carried his team across the line. Noice kraken!

[@FltCaptAlan]

Pensi, the only T6 cruiser that can bounce BB shells, not only that, but tier for tier, she can bounce the most from same tier battleships of any cruiser not relying on icebreakers. During the last T6 season of ranked, I could go angled and just listen to the music of battleship shells bounce off my nose, and the main group of battleships that did overmatch me (the RN 15"/42s), they all chucked HE at me, while it hurt, it didn't delete me. And with the good plating, Pensi's main guns are also reliable, decently accurate, with good AP, and she also has the second most accurate secondaries in game, only beaten out by Zeppelin. Sure if a 15"+ armed BB chucks AP at you and hits you, it will hurt like hell, but out of the 20 T6 BBs, only 8 can overmatch her, I will maintain that Pensi is the toughest T6 cruiser in game, only rivaled by Spee, thanks to her relatively rather large HP pool AS for Nelski, I'd rather have spotter, and unlike Nelson, you don't want to show all guns, where Nelson you want to just expose the 3rd turret, long range is actually the BEST place to cit a German BB, lobbing shell down upon their decks, although the high velocity shells are the worst for doing that, thanks to their flat arcs,

[@SchusterJames]

What does this rant have to do with the video?

[@greatmatt301]

It's not the T6 BB's that makes Pensacola sweat, its the t7+ that you will see quite frequently. Almost every single part of her except for the citadel roof around the turrets and her armor belt can be overmatched, that means you can be perfectly angled but a BB gets a good longer ranged salvo on your deck and it goes right into your citadel. The guns do make up for it. Fuck me they are insane at t6 XD

[@mihaitha]

There is something bad about the Nelski that can be exploited: that flat ass can be punched through by anything with decent penetration (heavy cruiser and up) and will go right to the citadel. So if you can manage to maneuver yourself behind a Lenin, you will have a great time.

[@Zorglub1966]

"that flat ass can be punched through by anything with decent penetration" It's a very welcoming battleship😁

[@andyreid7274]

Surprise butt sex!

[@MrRedRye]

Also, the curve of the bow makes it susceptible to penetrations at much shallower angles than one might think if you aim roughly under the front turret.

[@greatmatt301]

Yeah, HOWEVER any moderate Lenin player knows to never show that booty. They would rather nose in and back up than kite away XD

[@edwardrha]

@5:50 No, Jingles. He can't shoot at the Nagato... Look at his gun range in the minimap and the position of the enemies. They're out of range. He was shooting at the right targets given the situation, albeith with some sub par aiming.

[@dylanbailey2812]

I mean, his positioning wasn't that bad. Maybe exposed a bit too much broadside in that one moment, but otherwise, he had a crossfire on most of the enemy team all game. Better than him sailing on the 1 line like you see battleship players doing all the fucking time. His aim was really what held him back this game

[@basvanheumen4231]

You could say the Lenin has one more con. It's armour. It's possible to citadel Lenin quite well. It's citadel sits above the waterline. Another con with this armour, is it's torpedo damage reduction. Torpedoes hit very hard against the Lenin. It seems that the Lenin excels at defence. If angled and positioned well, it can take a lot of damage while able to deal damage in return. If you can catch a Lenin broadside on, or manage to get behind the Lenin, it can't do anything about that. It has to turn broadside again to fire the front (or middle) guns.

[@greatmatt301]

That is definitely a downside, and i have been blapped from the side (first premium i ever bought). But the fantastic bow armor and good guns lets you park by some cover and become an immoveable anchor for your team stalling opponents. I have 125 games played on Lenin with a 64% W/L but poor average damage (68k) but i learnt that playstyle after about 20 games. I just stall and let the players who are better than me win XD

Turtleback armour protects you from CLOSE RANGE citadels, not the other way around. You can easily citadel german battleships if you are far enough away. Remember HMS Hood? Blown up in the Atlantic from a shell from ABOVE? That's the way you bitchslap german bb's in WOWS. Otherwise great video as always Jingles.

I have to mention that the Pensacola isn't that bad as said. You have to play her like a Demoine. Careful. I played her in many ranked Battles and hell ya this cruiser can pump out dmg. Yes you need a good captain so you can get the good skils which are essential. The AA is very good for a Tier6 and it is fast for a Heavy Cruiser. Around 33kts. At Minute 6:00 Has anyone seen that Dragon Head in the Mountain? I never realized it. 😲

Half of the video I kept on wondering where the hell is this guy aiming and how does his shell still keep hitting. The rooke, I was totally expecting overpens at the rear.

[@sharptalons3474]

It really looked like he was using the minimap to aim. He needs to use his sight to shoot and only use map aiming during thunderstorms.

[@MrRedRye]

Lining up the cross hair with the direction line of the enemy ship on the minimap is actually the best technique to judge range when they're moving towards you or away at an angle. It stops you aiming too high or low.

[@charleslynch340]

I just about died when he went from just about to send a reasonably well aimed shot on the Parseval and last second changed it so all the shells went high, my keyboard nearly went through my window

[@nate1511]

Excellent positioning at the latter half there, but Dave’s aiming was painful to watch!😂 But get the hang of properly leading your targets and prioritizing the right ones, Dave, and you’ll have plenty more battles like this one, but scoring 220k or 240k damage to go along with the kraken instead of a “mere” 198k👍

[@patrickradcliffe3837]

17:21 that's been his issue the whole game. Guessing he does not have a lot matches with this ship yet.

[@andreaspedersen3952]

The placement in the middle isnt actually that bad. If you look at flamu, he encourage players to take mid positions with BBs, to create crossfires. so by standing there he also prevented the enemy team to push through the cap. I don't disagree on his choice of leaving too. I saw that the whole team there was getting demolished. With a couple of BCs like Zeiten and Hawke they could torp rush him. Probably the only thing I didn't like... Well... You see it in the other comments.

[@stevenhartman2605]

Totally agree. That was a strong position, he only did no damage because the enemy decided to abandon all the caps for free and camp the back line.

For the bismark, yeah it would have been stupid to turn and engage.

I would argue about the way he "positions" The Position was good, and BEING in cover doesn´t matter as long as noone shoots at you. But being in the position to GET into cover, that he did. so it was all good. But the permanent lack of lead was kinda aggravating^^ There´s often a replay bug, where it looks like people are aiming higher as they should, but i got used to that. But the amount of lead, the replay usually gets right. So that was... somthin Btw the statement that you can´t pen the german BBs in the cit without being extremely close is WRONG. You can circumvent the Turtleback with plunging fire. In a Pissing match at 20+km the Montana especially but most other ships as well, will obliterate the Kurfürst for example. And even with a Scharnhorst you can AP Pen a german Citadel with plunging fire, altho the Scharnhorst needs the spotter plane for that.
