[@deaks25]

The Icarus is where I really started to get a feel for the UK DD line and it's a fun little ship. For T6 it's concealment is pretty good. In fact the only thing I don't like is the turret traverse, which is very... Japanese-like in it's painful slowness. It suffers when double up-tiered, but most T6s do. I do like Buda did play the ship 'historically'; British DD doctrine was a very aggressive one (Battles of Narvik, Glowworm's last engagement, Tribal's and Piorun harassing Bismark etc), so the yolo for the Double Strike is just doing it right 👌

[@AAC1714]

One thing you’ve taught me jingles, is that when in a DD (mainly speaking on my fletcher and gearing(also legends) is that when I’m out spotted I wait a second to do anything and just sail in a line, as once I’m spotted the other DD almost always smokes up, opens fire/torps, and turns out too get away before there spotted usually resulting in many mistakes you can punish properly

[@justandy333]

I gotta admit I do love the animations they put in when you depth charge someone. I remember growing up, a mate would go to france or italy on holiday, EVERYONE would give him shit loads of money so he could bring back boxes and boxes of bangers. Because illegal in the UK obviously. One of my favourite things we did was to throw them in the lake and the blast would send the water about 10ft in the air. And after 30minutes we'd have to leg it from the police because of the angry locals reporting us🤣 🤣🤣. Those were the days! Just seeing those depth charges in the video reminded me of the fun and games we used to get up to.

[@chrisschack9716]

Had me confused there, was thinking bangers as in "bangers and mash" at first.

[@robertf3479]

I agree with Jingles, the Icarus isn't a destroyer with one or two fantastic tricks, it's a destroyer that is 'good enough' in most everything it does. I frankly like this boat. Plus, paraphrasing Top Gun Maverick, it isn't the ship, it's the Captain. Bravo Zulu Buda ... Well done!

[@LMMSDeadDuck]

I feel like deliberate "kill stealing" is pretty rare. The ultimate goal is to win the game, so if people focus fire on a ship, then over time it will generally average out. I've had top-scoring positions with only 1 kill and mid-scoring positions with 5 kills. A friend who was overly conscious about kill stealing stopped firing at a BB because he thought he hadn't done enough damage to it and didn't want to accidentally kill it. The BB got a final salvo off right as it died and citadel'ed my friend. If he had kept firing on it, it probably wouldn't have been able to get that final hit in.

[@TheDeadbone1961]

Agreed. Some of the heated team chat I've heard lately has centered around letting almost-dead ships "get away" as everyone turns their guns elsewhere. Best to secure the kill and victory for the team :)

[@jg1093]

Great example of thousands of games and experience to know just how to push your ship right to the edge while getting the most out of it.

[@lbrad2001]

I have been binge watching a lot of your videos lately and as an American who only discovered the joys of Blackadder about 10 years ago, I love the constant references to that fantastic show!

[@DevSolar]

Another ship that's more than the sum of its parts. All-around ability. Like the German DDs. Master of none, but quite capable of making life hard for team red.

[@jolonghthong]

Great submarine kills and nice double strike… watching this with a cold on Thursday of a four day break right before my birthday

[@antoinehenderson1659]

That double strike was magnificent.

[@montro2220]

Indeed it was

[@ZerotheWanderer]

That game needs to be edited like a typical Yuro vid, high BPM music and all the meme soundbytes too, that was kinda nuts at times. I loved all the parking on top of subs while deploying depth charges, surprised I don't see more of that, then again it might just be not something people who you feature do that often. Zip around, whip around, full speed ahead, charges, torps, smoke, dakka, this game had it all!

[@stephen1r2]

The subs were just far enough away from their team and deep enough that he was able to use his hydro, park and make sure of the kill. Most of the time you end up detected and shot at while paying too much attention to ASW.

[@AlexBrown-hl9kz]

That double kill might be the best play I've seen

[@RageGamerT]

[@davidspencer7254]

Years of watching Jingles and only getting vicarious pleasure from World of Warships begs the question: How different would the game be if the modelling accurately represented the ships and the fleet capability (when all under one flag)?

[@MichaelThomas-be7gq]

The Icarus is a sports car of a destroyer... quick to accelerate and stop, very manoeuvrable too. Stealth torps are very possible, just slow down. Well played, Buda, showing off the best attributes of a good destroyer.

[@kibbeystovall7546]

The Icarus, by virtue of being a DD with hydro does become a much more effective anti-submarine ship than DD's lacking hydro. Once the Icarus can get within 2km of the sub (assuming they are not at maximum depth) the hydro will give the sub's exact position and then the depth charges make for easy kills.

[@Legendendear]

Additionally Jingles: In lower Tier battles there is also less Health to begin with and therefore less damage to deal. My rule of thumb is: 10k of dmg for each Tier is avg. Below is bad above is good. So in a T6 Ship I aim for 60k dmg minimum.

[@andrewc1442]

Not that sure I would agree. If you are in a battleship then 60K seems doable but when you are in a 12k DD then 60K is a lot to ask. I prefer to look at each battle as how much you can carry based on your own HP pool. Above it, then you have played well, below it then you played poorly. Your result is proportional to the HP you contributed to your teams HP pool. YMMV

[@Legendendear]

@@andrewc1442 Its a rule of thumb. Not including ship types. If I include ship types its 7.5k per Tier for DDs, 10k for CA/CLs and 12.5k for BBs

Jingles, Are you aware that later this month they are moving USS TEXAS, BB 35, from it’s long time location at the San Jacinto battlefield toa dry dock in Galveston. This is the first time she’s been moved since 1989. She’s pumped full of foam to seal her and keep her afloat.

[@nickharden2971]

Another thing to note is the absolute chonk depth charges that the brit dds get. 5k damage and 10 drops. its absolute carnage :D

[@ericamborsky3230]

If I'm not mistaken, when it comes to interaction with surface ships, there is no longer any differentiation between operating depth and maximum depth. Hydro will spot a submerged sub at its normal range at periscope depth and 2km at any other depth.

[@luke_3_113]

My main line is UK destroyer. Icarus is probably 2nd favorite after Lightning

[@Nighthunter6666]

Icarus is a fun little ship tho, despite it being only "ok". The ability to stealth launch those torps one by one is just great. You can eat those oblivious low tier BBs for breakfast.

[@Terrathrax]

That was some excellent map awareness/daring at the same time.

[@samanthaanne246]

I would also like to point out that it's a bit odd that a DD can lay smoke, and then can see out of it, but enemy can't see into it. Strange smoke indeed. ( Sonar, Radar, and Hydrophones aside)

[@eltiburon1983]

just when you think he got a double strike, a kraken etc... you realise he used AP ammo on that BB .... either biggest troll ever or just the biggest lucker ever...

[@danmartinac3266]

I am a destroyer captain main. I routinely fire 120mm AP at battleships. They don't know what the the caliber is initially they just see white AP tracer and you can force them to turn and give side to the larger guns behind you

[@GarGhuul]

I’ve enjoyed a fair number of your World of Warships videos, so Thankyou for those and this. Big fan of A-Cat-suki. I am curious if you’re familiar with the battle of RMS Carmania Vs. SMS Cap Trafalgar 1914. I’ve been told it’s one of the wildest WW1 naval battles.

Excellent ASW work !

[@Forscythe80]

Watching the Icarus just saunter on up alongside those fecking submarines and depth charge them to death without a lick of reprisal... That was damn near porn to me. Feck subs! :P

[@siriusczech]

12:35 - A (last) 1000 dmg dealt to a target of 100.000 max hp is not reflected in xp reward as "only" 1% of total hp worth of damage, but the kill ribbon itself equals another 15% hp dmg worth of xp and credits, so finishing a 1k hp Kremlin will still provide you with xp equalling around 16k dmg done to that ship. And that counts. That is why killstealing/killsecuring is also a valid strategy and while playing ranked and wanting to save a star, getting kills helps a lot. Vice versa - player with 4+ kills sitting on 3-4th place in xp values BEHIND a player with 0-2 kills but higher bxp; you can clearly see who did most of the job and who only farmed those killing ribbons ;)

[@oldguywisdom2904]

[@MrThemilk14]

All we need now Jingles is "The Little Grenade that Could"

[@soffici1]

Oh, finally someone is pointing out that percentage damage is what counts And that is why PR-flexing idiots are, well, idiots For those who don’t know, PR is based on actual damage, not percentage damage, and that makes it the most useless stat available to WoWS players

[@gretathunderer5596]

The PR formula is: PR = 700*nDMG + 300*nFrags + 150*nWins. So it's not JUST a damage metric. It also considers wins and kills. It doesn't differentiate what you did damage to, but over a large sample size it's a better metric of performance than either avg damage or kills/battle alone. IMO, solo WR is the only metric that actually represents skill. Furthermore, the most useless stat available is total number of battles played.

[@soffici1]

@@gretathunderer5596 I was trying to simplify things for those who don't know the PR formula in depth (it's actually based on actual damage/expected damage). Anyway, you seem to be coming to my same conclusion: PR is a shitty metric, valid only for flexing in front of your friends. Total kills and total damage are even dumber than that. I agree that nr of battles played is as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike, but for WR to be really representative of skill you'll need to have 30k battles+

[@daren3146]

Thanks!

[@BlackDragontheCruel]

All in all went better than expected.

[@johnnyenglish583]

Talking about damage, one thing I can never understand is that teams, time and again, will stop shooting at a nearly dead target that's in their range and change fire to a much healthier ship. It's not just bad target selection, because they had been firing at him... it's selecting the right target first, bringing him down to 5% health and changing target! I have no idea why people do this.

[@mafuletrekkie]

Damnit Jingles, it is three in the morning and I'm trying to sleep.

[@sleepygryph]

Sub kills are relatively "easy" for British DDs because their depth charges do a stupid amount of damage. In this guys case it also helps that both subs were stupid. The smart sub players seem to hang out with their teams and use the stupid range of their torps and low detect to harass you from the safety of their team.

[@edmondcristianrazmerita893]

9:50 What an epic moment!

[@SauerkrautIsGood]

Also, getting the kill is worth about the same as doing 1/3 of the ship's health in damage if I remember correctly. So you do get rewarded for going for finishing shots on low health ships. Also a solo cap is worth about 100 percent of a ships health in XP

Actually love playing Icarus at Tier VI all that you say is true but the torps are devatating if you land them and who cares that you can't launch them from more than 7km, if you're launching torps at an openning target or more than just outside your spotting you aren't doing it right anyway.

[@jamesmaybrick2001]

i will ask here, someone will know. Since the flag / camo rework what happened to the stealth buff/ dispersion -ve camo. Did they just roll those buffs into all hulls? or are they just gone from the game now?

[@clefsan]

I'm sure my ships have the same concealment values they've had before the rework, so ships are definitely still getting at least the stealth buff somehow. Not sure if that is connected to having camos on and just not informing the player about it, since I only play with camo on (would have to test if concealment changes if I remove camo). Also can't say anything about the dispersion buff for sure, but if they've left the stealth buff in, I'd assume the other buff is still there, too.
