[@woytaq]

Wow, my noob ass got featured, I must say I did not expect that to happen, but yeah, this was a pretty rare outcome and in my short and uneventful career it was the second draw ever and first one I played an active role to achieve. If I remember correctly the Nevsky played really well and ended up at the top of the score board.

[@ShawFujikawa]

I don’t blame the Nevsky for gunboating, he was playing to win rather than playing to not lose. Gotta do what you gotta do.

[@thojen76]

This was a rare draw. I was the captain of that Plymouth that got killed by fire :-) Your Nevsky did well, and the reason for his "fuck up" was my semi successful gamble on luring him towards us in the end of the game, hoping for our Soyuz to step up and disrupt/kill you in the Hinden when you would counter my move... Which Soyuz didn`t do, he chose to stay in cover. Gambled for a win, ended up with a draw, as would be the most likely outcome anyways :-) GG!

[@sarahsmith840]

14 spare hp!

[@dandarling152]

Jingles, You need to remember the old old days. There used to be game mode that required you to cap the one enemy base or kill EVERY enemy ship. Points were irrelevant unless you had 0 or 1000. If you didn't cap or win because of those point totals it was a tie. I remember the first few months of the game I had a 10% tie rate. Surviving DDs would just run and hide to deny the enemy a victory. Ties were basically a defeat as far as xp and money were concerned.

Yes Yes Yes. I just checked and I have 161 Draws. I remember checking 2-3 years ago and it was 146. In the days just after the last Beta re-set, it was like 5% were draws. I remember because they counted as losses for both sides and I wanted to stay over 60% win rate because I was just short and wanted 50% of my Draws back. Now I am mad all over again.

[@myvideosetc.8271]

In defense of thet AFK bayern, it happened to me and if your PC hangs and does take a fuckload of time restarting because your windows update decided that it was the best moment to install 30k service patches you only can endure the frustration and your pink name when you log in again into wows.

[@firehawkdelta]

Happened to me a lot during the early 9.x patches -- the game would crash, and take so long to restart and log in that I got pinked 4-5 times over ~3 months, for "early exit". WG must have eventually fixed the problem, but playing during that time was *painful*.

[@tharding2870]

[@ColoradoStreaming]

@@tharding2870 That is the thing about the New Mexico. You have to be really deliberate in your positioning. You either overextend and get killed or pick the wrong area and spend the rest of the match chasing the action and always showing up a day late and a dollar short.

Yes the standard class (aka slow) US BBs are all about map position. I love them though, you get to the middle of the map and start blasting at everything. very fun until you are noticed by he spammers

[@vtr0104]

The thing I liked about it was the superstructure design. The Wyoming and the New Mexico have these flat structures with balconies (kind of like the Iowas), where the other USN BBs just have towers and masts sticking out. Looking at the tech tree, it's almost like the ship designers couldn't decide what was better between each generation while going back-and-forth on ideas (South Carolina gets lattice masts, Wyoming gets small tripod ones, New York gets two tall lattice ones, New Mexico is flat and finally Colorado / West Virginia get the lattice, though the Colorado loses it with the B Hull). My biggest regret is not having an Arkansas, I'd play the shit out of that if I had one.

[@jurassicattack01]

yea this is what I was thinking about during the entire video, some of my best T6 games have come in the NM. She may have poor speed, not very accurate at long range, or all too great when uptiered, but when she hits she hits hard, and if you know how to angle properly she'll tank it like a champ

[@Vinemaple]

yeah, I don't remember it being so bad, it has a hitpoint pool as fat as its beam, if you brawl smart it's quite useful, and 14" AP is much more effective against tier V and VI cruisers than 15" or 16"... you get fewer overpens.

I had my third draw the other day, after nearly 7000 battles. Although that was a Domination rather than Standard Battle and it came down to literally the last second when our points ticked onto the same as the enemy team.

[@genericpersonx333]

In fairness to the Standards, their low speed didn't make them so useless as is often portrayed. The thing about battleship guns was that most everyone had about the same practical range on their weapons because of limits on targeting technology. Your guns might have a theoretical range of 50,000 yards, but if your aiming systems just can't be sure of hitting a ship beyond 25,000 yards, it doesn't really matter so much. Put another way, if you were close enough to have a good chance of shooting a Standard with your battleship guns, the Standard was close enough to shoot back. This is why the Revenge Class and the Standards remained serious and respected threats in the Second World War. You either fought them or your avoided them; you couldn't count your modern fast battleships to use their speed to pick off a Standard safely out of range unless you were in Yamato. I am not saying more speed is not better if you can have it, but in warfare built around Lines of Battle, which gun-armed ships of the Second World War still aimed to do, being slower only matter when the enemy was trying to avoid a fight, because if they wanted a fight, they had to come to you and trade fire regardless of your speed.

[@Debbiebabe69]

You also have to remember the moratorium on BB construction due to the naval treaty - worldwide battleship construction was pretty much halted between the end of the superdreadnought (slow, heavily armoured) and battlecruiser (fast, lightly armoured) era and the first fast battleships (fast and heavily armoured) , there were only really a few Japanese battleships and the RN Nelsons (which were on par with superdreadnoughts for speed), due to this, there was massive improvement at design, techonology, and doctrine levels in battleships, but no actual battleships to put these ideas into practice. When countries actaully started making BBs again, all the jump in technology etc. all came at the same time, hence the old superdreadnoughts looked REALLY slow in comparison to the new fast battleships. Had BB construction not been terminated, it is likely many 'treaty era' battleships would have been built sailing at 25-28, mainly 15 inchers, torpedo resistant, etc.

[@2rslvl126]

I had a whole bunch of people report me on my team for not pushing into a cap as a DD. A DD with a worse camo rating than all the enemy DD's and while out numbered on the flank. All we had to do was hold it,.. best way to do that was me not rushing in and dying. It was the right move, and we won because we made the push as they were retreating to cover their losing flank. I'm not sure how the reporting system adds into the Pink Ship system.., but it must add up somehow and a lot of it is just angry bs from random people.

You got it backwards Jingles. There isn't a sale on 14" AP shells, there's a shortage. So if you catch as many as you can in your torpedo belt armor and citadel, you can flip them, reload them into your own shells and use them against your own enemies at the super low cost of your entire fleet. It's a Wargaming "savings" scheme.

2:25 - The Nevada class were the first of the USN's Standard type battleships. The New Mexico class were the third class of the Standard type.

[@No_1OfConsequence]

Point of order, the USS Nevada class were the first of the Standard Class ships. Introducing the "all or nothing" armor arrangement and triple 14" gun turrets. Though the Nevada had super firing twin turrets. The Pennsylvania Class brought the twelve 14" gun armament to the Standard Class which would remain until the USS Colorado class which went up to 16" guns, but with only 8 guns. The USS New Mexico were the 3rd class of Standard Class battleships constructed and introduced the hybrid electric drive to service. The New Mexicos also brought in clipper/Atlantic bow forms to the US battleship design process, setting the hull forms for the next two classes of Standard design.

[@leonpeters-malone3054]

All the wrong reasons? Absolutely. I'm glad I've not played this game in a long, long time. And technically actually Jingles, a correction, US losses at the Surigao Strait were limited to three PT boats odd from memory. Also, if the research I've done is anything to go by, some of the destroyers were under friendly fire towards the end of the battle. None of the cruisers or battleships suffered any damage. So, not as bloodless as our Gnome overlord has said it was. Still.... why do I hear shotguns?

[@TheBoffinLabs]

Hi Jingles. My experience in driving tier 1-5 battleships taught me to get all guns firing at a target by going broadside on. It was only because I watched your video that I knew anything about Citadels and how bad broadsiding is. I think the tier 1-5 experience fails to explain citadels and the problem with them. When I got to tier 6 things were very different because citadels were very much a thing or at least the enemy had guns that made it a thing.

[@lordsirdragor]

I used to like playing the NM back when it was just it and the Fuso at t6, not so much now. Of course upgrading to the CO back then just made you want to go back to the NM.

[@richardgirard9480]

The problem is that WOW does not differentiate between the 14" 45 caliber guns of the Arizona and Fuso, and the 14" 50 caliber guns of New Mexico and California. The 14" 50 caliber fired a heavier shell, further, with greater accuracy than the 15" 42 caliber of the Queen Elizabeth class.

[@ChrisRand-gf7lz]

You also kind of forgot that the New Mexico actually has one of the best shell velocities(if not the best) out of all the Battleships in game. Her 14" rounds fly faster and flatter than the 16" rounds on the later American BB's and rank comparably to the higher tier velocities of other nations. This makes her real good for smashing through the armour of enemy BB's, but can be trouble when dealing with cruisers.

Not impossible to citadel but she can be surprisingly hard to if you don't know how (here's a tip, aim LOW). Besides that, like ya said she is a tier 6 Battleship, cant say i expect much. Anyway its 5 o clock in the morning in Florida, have a nice night/morning.

Jingles there was a New Mexico class battleship at surigao strait the Uss Mississippi BB-41

[@jamesmccoy7773]

I always liked my New Mexico. When I got up tiered, it was a HE spam festival, but all those guns with AP on a flat broadside at 10km or less.......ouch.

[@marcl.1346]

I used to get draws all the time in closed and less so in open beta. But nowadays, never.

[@jamescabrie7952]

Hello Jingles!!! Thanks as always for the amazing content.

[@conscript900]

And from this i learned a couple things about how to potentially improve my play. Nice.

In WoWS Blitz, on my 3573 battles there are 30 draws. I think I even had one in "normal", 3-cap domination.

[@NichoTBE]

When WoWs was in beta there was something with the game mechanics which lead to alot of draws, possibly the score required to win was lower I cant remember, but my account has dozens of draws on it from that period.

Jingles, please try a playthrough of Destroy all Humans with your unique commentary, it will make us laugh our asses off!

[@BIOSHOCKFOXX]

what an overexaggeratement. For some this is hilarious to death, to me...I could fall asleep and not even smile about this.

I'm going to say that pink Bayern had internet issues. Whenever I cut out suddenly my ship just stops like that.

[@p4n4143]

Well, today only, as a dd, I had 6 one dd games where I was playing tier 6 against tier 8 radar cruisers and cc's

[@freddieclark]

In reality, the gun was not all that bad. At Surigao Strait, USS Tennessee (BB-43) and USS California (BB-44) reported pattern sizes of 300 to 400 yards (275 to 365 m) for six and nine gun salvos at 20,000 yards (18,300 m), which was not appreciably different than that achieved by the newer battleships during the war.

[@Arthion]

They had some teething problems initially, but by the time of the war and the 14" Mk 7 gun upgrade, they were quite excellent. In the game they aren't that bad either, questionable consistency aside they have excellent penetration although they can't overmatch higher tier cruisers.

[@magecraft2]

Best thing about really slow BB's is they get you used to looking at the mini map and reading the flow of the game! Now sometimes it does not matter because everything happens on the other side of the map but learning those two skills will make you a vastly better player.

[@FPSMetalWolf61]

1:01-1:07 for some reason it freezed. Is that maybe lag for players end or did recording software freezed that for some reason?

It was the last ship I could brawl in before running into Torpitzes all the time with my Colorado

I used to love NewMex when I played last about 3 years ago

[@kelemvour]

A point in favour of the New Mexico is that it looks good in its Tiger Stripe Camo.

[@hond654]

NM is slow but turns very well. It was my favourite T6 BB to dodge shots.

[@justanotherviewer52]

Thanks Jingles.

[@11DNA11]

That poor Omaha... Minding his business with a ship made out of citadels :(

[@kappapisigma1]

Quite well suited for? Marines hated BBs supporting their amphibious assaults and vastly preferred DDs that could get closer to shore to observe their own fall of shot and fire faster.

[@JamesRicho]

at the beginning, if you didn't kill all or get max points, it was always a draw!

[@grumpydude1598]

draws were pretty common in closed beta from what i remember, not sure if it was a bug back then, but it happened alot

[@mcgoo721]

I'm giving this game another shot this weekend because man I love the idea of it. I just can't get the pace down really. I either hang back a bit too much and don't add much to the fight, or I get caught way out of position. I had a good time on that german battleship with beefy secondaries and either american or japanese cruisers that had a ton of HE firepower though. I just hope my ping is better this time around.

[@kuninagako9035]

I remember when BB's guns were scary when they pointed them at me because there was no overpen it was none pens or full pens

[@t.a.ackerman4098]

I really like watching mid tier battles. They can be helpful for noobs like me.

[@skyhawkpilot172]

The New Mexico used to be a great ship. I still sail mine in those rare cases I play these days.

[@Lukos0036]

I didn't have much trouble with the New Mexico. But I played very defensively and used a lot of cover to ambush from.

[@cylonred8902]

I pretty much play high tier only and teams ion the last couple weeks have been showing more and more broadsides. So much so that I have a game and replay that shows my team losing in 6 minute and the base XP for the majority of the players (all but 3) is just less than 200 in a RANDOM game.
