World of Warships - The Scharnhorst

[@foxyrene1]

Jingles, why do you no longer do these ship reviews? I love the history lesson you give at the start. Well done!

[@rohesilmnelohe]

It's hard to review ships that wargaming made up especially if untouchable CV class is there to ruin the fun for everyone.

[@a1kjlarson]

Greetings Admiral, I don't play the game. I am former US Army Intelligence with 4 real wars under my belt. I grew up under the US Navy, which is why I joined the Army. I should have joined the Air Force, but my foresight did not exceed my hindsight. Now at 50, I have but regrets to fuel my days and nights. I watched you video on the Scharnhorst and I must send my compliments. That was the best intelligence briefing I have heard in years on both the technical and the tactical aspects on naval application of power. I am now convinced you would probably be the best at explaining to the current pool of fools running our global international navies into oblivion a detailed explanation that Naval Warfare with missile engagements is no longer the same rules as what was taught prior to World War II. Land and air launched missile systems nullify naval capacities in the short range while Sea Air power in long range retains both penetrating and punching power. The paradigm I tried to teach our Military Leaders in the US is land masses now equate to massive overly powerful warships with unlimited range. They get it, but don't. Thankfully, Naval warfare is not what it was. I am looking to join the War of Warships soon. It would be a pleasant departure. But for an old unemployed veteran with no credit cards. I think I will wait for a while before throwing my hat in. Kirk

Thank you for your service Kirk Larson. o7

[@GrasshopperKelly]

It's been 2 years, and I haven't forgotten, how much have you enjoyed WoWS?

[@TheActionBastard]

Hopefully you joined us ages ago and have played and had fun. If not... COME ON! It's FREE. You do *not* need to spend money to compete. Spending money only really speeds up your advancement to the final stages of the game. Tier X is basically a level playing field and when it stops being one I'll stop playing. :D (level meaning that anyone can own basically any of those ships with just time and effort... not all ships are created equal though)

That auxiliary cruiser should have just angled its armor. xD

[@willrogers3793]

Nah, man. Even with just 283mm guns, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau would’ve just overmatched it and punched clean through anyways.

[@adeptusministorum]

It did. What it should have done was to have a “flared” upper belt armor and a deck that partially stuck out. Not to mention better torpedo defense.

[@imflikyt]

Like the tirpitz, the scharnhorst really wants to be at close range. The torpedoes are obviously a great assest, and the 2/3 of the guns at the front really promotes close range bow duels, AND it has some nasty secondaries :D Live fast die young do 200k damage before you go

History Time with Jingles! You should do these as separate videos, like Ichase with his "Know your ship" series XD

[@jeffwheeler4693]

Agreed, I honestly watch the tank reviews to hear about their history. Always look forward to seeing a 40+ minute video from jingles in my sub box

If you dont want to watch the history lesson then by all means skip ahead in the video there is a reason youtube allows you to do that.

[@virusguy5611]

And actually talk about the ships unlike Ichase who basically splices documentaries together... not saying it doesn't require time, but seriously.

[@steveharris4958]

Wonderful video Jingles. I especially like the footage from WWII. In an earlier video, you lamented the fact that people from the NA server were not restricted to an NDA. Here's the nice thing about your videos: you take the time to review the ship and let us know how she does. Many on the NA server do not inform us about the ship. Instead, they tell us how good they are. It's amazing to witness the egos. Anyway, yours is the best review. Thanks!!

I must say; Jingles I love these reviews. The reviews are excellent, but what makes it great for me is the history lesson on the ships. I honestly did not know about any German bbs other than the Tirpitz and Bismark in WW2.

I'm so thankful for your review of the Scharnhorst Jingles. You saved me the fifty to sixty bucks I was planning to spend on a ship that I thought I wanted, based on the hype. I'm just average at best at this game, and based on your review of this ship, I would have regretted my purchase. Looks like my Nagato, a real tier 7 BB, and a really good one, will be seeing a lot of action for the next couple of months, as it will be the perfect tool for seal clubbing all the noobs playing the Scharnhorst.

[@mattroberts2941]

Where's the footage from around 11:00 from? It looks more like cinematic footage rather than Pathé.

[@Guzzist11]

those are model ships i think. footage mixed with real stuff that was recorded in 1940 and used in a movie called "sink the Bismarck". you can find the real footage showing Prinz Eugen, Bismarck and the duell between them and Hood/Wales here on youtube too.

[@petrussillanpaa9161]

Signal lamp used to signal other ships. You don't need wireless set to use morse code if they are in visual range.

[@oo7squid]

I think it's a light with shutters, for visual transmission of morse code

[@SajuukTheGreatMaker]

I really liked the historical footage rolling alongside your explanations. Gives the historical sections of these videos a great new aspect.

[@wildboar222]

I think you were too quick to dismiss the HE, it might only have 20% fire chance, but with such a quick reload you still have just as good a chance of starting fires as any other BB, and you can reload to AP rather quickly if they give you the side

[@honnorgaurd]

As a owner of it, i can definitely tell you jingles im one of the players who loves it. It's absolutely amazing!- when played right. its a truly brutal war machine. fits my style of gameplay and is the kind of ship ive been waiting for.

[@sarinhighwind]

talking about armor in world of warships just doesn't have the same feel to it like wot. Yes, i have armor, yes i angle my ship. Doesn't make a difference, get damaged either way. Just keep yourself from the citadels is all you can do.

[@6272355463637]

The difference is that you can't armor all of your ship. It would sink like a stone (or alternatively have thin enough armor to be absolutely useless). Belt- and deck armor does work but even if you bounce everything that hits your armored parts, there's plenty unarmored stuff which can get damaged. In most cases that damage wouldn't actually sink a ship but the game doesn't really allow for disabling without sinking (especially since small turrets are much harder to knock out - before, I had plenty ships effectively disarmed before they were sunk).

[@Sseltraeh89]

well, you can allways consider being destroyed by depleting your HP pool without fire and/or penetrations as being so filled by enemy artillery shells you just sink under the sheer weight of it :D

[@DJPon7]

Comparing ships to tanks.

[@ChainedPhantom]

That's why you also have about ten times as much of an HP pool as you do in WoT.

[@Candesce]

Angling does work. Cruiser AP will definitely bounce on angled cruisers and possibly carriers and battleships and battleship AP will definitely bounce on angled battleships. HE not so much.

[@Colonel_Klink]

Don't even enjoy World of Warships, but the history lessons by Jingles always earn the thumbs up and my views.

[@imflikyt]

The reason you scharnhorst struggles so much is that 283mm guns will overmatch anything up to 19.79mm. If the deck armour is 20mm then you cannot penetrate any shots unless they hit the side. A great deal of cruisers have more than 20mm deck armour, bow and stern armour. Where a 410mm shell(nagato) will overmatch over 28mm for consistent penetrations, the 283mm guns just bounce. A lot of cruisers have armour that will be overmatched by other battleships but the small calibre of the scharnhorst cannot take advantage of that mechanic.

[@kevinpierce6955]

thats exactly what he said in the video

[@imflikyt]

Kevin Pierce He repeatedly states that you need the flat side of the ship, overmatch applies only to heavily angles targets. I think he means the guns have lower penetration (which is also true) but I'm not even sure if he is aware of the 14.3 overmatch rules and how they affect things.

[@josephpoppe2466]

Your math is waaaaaay off.

[@imflikyt]

Joseph Pöppe where?

[@josephpoppe2466]

Over match, is when a rounds diameter is X times larger than the armor plate it strikes; if that occurs, then it auto defeats the armor. 20mm of armor will not bounce a 283mm armor piercing shell. The weight of the shell would crush through that 20mm tin foil. No matter the angle.

[@derimperatorlp8479]

Well, we do have silent letters, but mostly holdovers in names from linguistic days gone by. Like the "e" in Soest, which actually takes the job of a stretcher for the "o", because somehow nobody can be bothered to just put an "h" there instead.

[@petrameyer1121]

Taluien Thats untrue as it is a rhineian dialekt, where the -oe- ist pronounced as oo, there is no -h- there. Similar as -oi- is pronounced as an -oo- with a throaty -ch-, as in Grevenbroich, which is pronounced as Grevenbrooch.

Its HE has a 20% fire chance, which means with its fast reload it'll be pretty good at harassing battleships

[@DJPon7]

HE is great, many BBs are switching to HE because of higher damage output. I like to keep my AP though, even though I overpen so much.

[@kainhall]

i think you should go look at vidoes of how world of warships armor works... ap hits and has to pen.... HE explodes on contact, and its damage is biased on how much armor is their... ap to the thick armor on a well angled ship will do 0 damage. HE to the thick armor on a well angled ship will do SOME damage...1000 or 2000 HOWEVER!!! ap on a broadside/weak armor will sometimes one shot the ship. were talking 90,000 damage per salvo...(theirs an over pen mechanic also...but...watch youtube videos) HE on a broad side/weak armor will do more damage..... 5000 or 6000 but isnt as good as he if your in a battle ship you almost never fire HE....unless its a destroyer or the ship is STAYING angled. the rest of the time.... your waiting for a good shot to land many AP hits...

Appreciate the history particulars, the ship review, and the gameplay. Excellent video! I agree - cruisers with torps will charge, necessitating escorts and if all else fails HE rounds while they are nose on with an eye to anticipating a switch to AP for when they present their sides to launch torpedoes. As rare as conscious and deliberate escorting tends to be in random battles, definitely need a division mate or two for escort.

Loved the content, the historical with the gameplay and your own brand of charisma make it a treat. I personally would love to see The Gneisnau, Scharnhorst, Bismark, Tirpitz, Prinz Eugen and Admiral Hipper divisioned up with your Dead Admirals Society and see a live stream match on North etc to show the couch theorists like myself what this sort of fleet could do if it was commanded this way? Food for thought or not. Best wishes and Fair winds and following seas

[@DanielWW2]

Seriously why are British commanders on warships so f*cking stupid? Lets attack two 32.000t battleships with a few 6" guns mounted on a passenger liner. The secondary battery on the Scharnhorst alone outgunned the Rawalpindi. RN tradition, engage when challenged by a hostile ship, dictates suicide by German battleship instead of the reasonable thing. You also could have "accidentally" transmitted a radio message out over long wave radio that you where surrendering, thus stalling the Germans who need to board the ship then, take the crew off and then sink the ship. That takes time and then the Royal Navy squadron close bye ambushes the two ships. You don't die, you probably don't lose the ship, you lured in a RN squadron and they dispatch the German ships. Then you go home for tea and deserved medals. And then the Japanese where the stupid ones with there Banzai charges. :P

[@JaneCobbsHat]

Not stupid at all. Rawalpindi had no way of outrunning the Germans. She could surrender which would be a huge propaganda victory for the Germans and probably against all orders and rules of engagement or she could try to buy time until more Royal Navy assets closed in.

He was old, a sailor from a previous age. Old sailors are pretty stubborn. Not saying it was the right thing to do, but it was probably the only proper thing to do in his mind. That ship could never have outrun those battleships. It was run and die, surrender and (for him atleast) possibly die of age in captivity or fight and die. He probably wanted an honourable end to his naval career. Again, i disagree with that mentality, but i understand it.

[@Myrskylintu]

And what of the other sailors aboard? Most of them propably were young and had a life ahead of them. Then their lives get fucked up over some old captain who wants to go in a blaze of shit. This is why I really, really detest military chain-of-command. Some fucker high up cocks up and the people below wind up paying with their lives.

[@jakekillify]

Azure Templar Yea, it has its drawbacks. But if you give every soldier the freedom to make strategic choices from himself, you WILL lose every battle, you WILL lose more men than you would had you had them all follow one objective. Its not a case of the chain of command, its a case of someone in a position of authority who was not equal to that task. Jingles himself served in that chain of command, and he had nothing but praise for many of the officers above him.

[@jakekillify]

Azure Templar Fact is if you argue about the necessity of the chain of command, any expert in the field will simply laugh at you and not give you the time of day to explain all the ways in which you are wrong.

[@Japanie2]

Woo, another good ol' history lesson with professor Jingles. Love these!

[@DaKdawg]

Glad to see some German recognition. Your Tirpitz review was glorious and had I the proper hardware would be sailing the internet seas as well. Scharnhorst sounds like a challenge...can't wait to try it out. Tally ho! Rear Admiral, Sir!

[@thuzan117]

really want to see more ship reviews from you, they are very in depth and I use them to shape my play style.

[@AJTheUnexceptionalBiker]

I love the history lessons :) Keep them up Jingles! It brightens up a day in the salt mines!

[@sujmaster]

i dont really like world of warships but i love just listening to jingles history lessons

[@6perk]

Great video Jingles! (As always) I am sure you know, but for others watching, the photo used to demonstrate what the sinking HMS Rawalpindi is the photo of the Blücher, a admiral hipper class cruiser, sinking in the Oslofjord:)

[@samtocci2391]

Hello Uncle Jingles, First and foremost I want to thank you for your videos, commentary, greatly amusing personal storys and sharing fascinating stories from history. You have mentioned many, many ... many times that you attribute your success to the soothing nature of your voice and I would agree that in combination with your character(I do not use the word lightly) and personality have all been major factors for your success. With that being said, Would you consider doing an audio book. Picking a personal favorite and one that is not to long in length to avoid being overwhelmed with it's production. I believe that society is reaching a point where historical books are become less and less popular due the sheer size and effort to read them, and is near impossible with our sadly ADD society. I believe that you creating an audio book would open up a great number of your followers to audio books and the enjoyment and knowledge there in. I will guarantee at least one purchaser. Sincerely yours, Sam Tocci (pronounced S-Am Ta-Chi) ;)

[@GamingBear_Q_E_D]

Finally, they let you put it out!!Thank you oh mighty Gnomish Rear Admiral of the Sunken section of the Salt mines
