World of Warships - The Scharnhorst

I can finally show you one of the German battleships I've been enjoying the opportunity to playtest for the last week, the Scharnhorst. Well, "enjoying" may not be exactly the right word to use, the Scharnhorst isn't a bad ship by any stretch of the imagination, but it's tricky to do well in...

[@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)

[@TRNHardy]

[@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

[@Arkangeli7]

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.

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'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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@C0vert_F0x]

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.

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.

[@petrameyer1121]

Jingles you kindly took my remark of pronouncation of the Nashorn once. German has no silent letters, so it is not neisenau as in the english Gnome, you actually pronounce the G in Gneisenau. :)

[@Taluien]

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.

[@Tenel]

Tenel For once I'm Serious about Something's Pronunciation. And I find Tenel. To the Gulag.

[@jkorshak]

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.

[@tacosr]

If the AP isn't great on penetrating angled cruisers how is the HE?

[@yellowbuddydog1005]

he doesn't need to penetrate

[@dashdastardly]

The HE is deliberately not very good to stop IDIOTS from taking advantage.

[@EriJ100]

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.

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...

I love this old school Jingles video! Please moar war stories with Uncle Jingles I love them :)

[@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.

[@jakekillify]

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.

[@JaredStokes93]

I love the history lessons you do with archival footage and pictures keep it up. =D

[@viol8r007]

Are you sure you are not reading from the South East Asia server game play book (about the Brits effort to sink this ship )...Look for the people named Hiro & Yamato & Sniper or killer.......... Has to be ..... Oh lemming train too H10 dam there is 9 of you there against that 1 dd oh and they managed to cap how is that possible to lose that cap when you are %90 of our team Vrs %20 of theirs , come on we need help at the other 2 caps..........you have been suspended from sending chat messages untill your team grows a brain ......meanwhile...... 9 ships sitting behind island you go first nah you go first no you go , ill go after you good sir , im waiting for the DD ...... add infinity SEA server game play ......Seriously....just sayin ....just not on the SEA server you have been suspended from sending chat messages until team grows a collective brain ...Can't be too carefull ......

[@andrewktownsend]

I dont even play this game (W of Warships) Jingles... and I watch every one of these videos. Better than TV by a very long shot.

[@themightiestofbooshes9443]

I hate Imperial measurements for kanone calibre. Keep it metric so we all know what you're talking about! 28,3cm or 283mm! None of this 11" bullshit no one can be bothered to convert.

[@deathlegionair]

American's learn it before highschool.

[@themightiestofbooshes9443]

deathlegionair I'm sure I learned the conversion, but I can't be bothered to remember it.

[@zackenfeild3959]

Stop bitching he gave the caliber of the guns in metric too. Its just 11 inch guns sound a lot cooler than 28 centimeter guns.

[@themightiestofbooshes9443]

Right so a Jagdpanzer E100 has a 6.6" cannon and that sounds way cooler? No, it doesn't. It sounds like it has a pea-shooter. 17,0cm cannon? Yeah, THAT is a monstrous cannon.

[@themightiestofbooshes9443]

I know how big an inch is. I live in a country where Imperial measurements are the official method for conducting measurements.

[@Japanie2]

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

[@TacitVulcan]

I love how Jingles plays the games most You tubers don't care about keep up the good work :)

[@T.K.9]

Interesting.... cause when you explained the history about The Scharnhorst, it took a lot of man power and ships + Torpedo bombers to take down The Scharnhorst until she eventually capsized. And then in your gameplay the same thing happened. Multiple ships engaged The Scharnhorst :D. Good videos man and very informative in regards to the history of the ships in game. I always love playing the ships that carry a history that ignites my love for War Machines (Scharnhorst, Bismarck, Tirpitz, Graf Spee, Prinz Eugen, Yamato (Musashi if they added her), Nagato, Colorado, Fuso etc.) But in game it seems like they made the Scharnhorst a Brawler of some kind.

[@Kompoism]

Another great video Jingles..really love the historical information you put at the start of your videos for WoW and WoWS... I can confirm the lag on the servers recently has been terrible! I thought I had accidentally put some settings up or something and forgotten, my FPS was so much lower than normal!

[@bernardputersznit64]

Great analysis - Thanks - Loved the History - Much pleasing face palms on my part with me going "REALLY"?!!

[@AJTheUnexceptionalBiker]

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

[@arbhall7572]

Looks like a BB I'm gonna love. Thank you sir. Another great video.

[@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:)

[@WouterDRav]

Oh man, I get so happy when you talk about history.

[@Thehairysoap]

i can listen to jingles rant about cat tail cancer biopsy just because his voice is just so calming.

[@henryjesionowski5600]

I want more reviews like this, these are incredible

[@johansoons8413]

wonderfully done revieuw jingles, its been a wile but i enjoyed this one verry much. thank u.

[@cyberneticube]

This ship sounds like my cup of tea! This progression of the match is something I do in my Pensacola actually, which is also a great cruiser killer. Sit at the back in the beginning with friendlies to take the heat, while progressively moving closer to create the situations where I am in control of who shoots at me and who I will shoot, before finally going full-on brawling rampage and getting half a battles' worth of citadels in the last minute or however long my hp and luck allows me.

[@tommylyons3765]

This video promotes you to vice admiral Jingles, but you will always be the boss of My rear. Thanks thanks thanks!

[@danielwick7756]

Nice usage of "Sink the Bismarck" footage there, Jingles. Solid movie, even with some inaccuracies, but it should be required watching for all WoWs players!

[@danielwick7756]

Also, probably would have been worth mentioning that Norfolk's hit to Scharnhorst's radar early in what would be her last day at sea was a pivotal factor in her demise. The ship was attempting to escape, using the typically bad weather off Norway as cover, but she had no idea she was sailing straight toward the force including HMS Duke of York. In fact, when Duke of York came upon Scharnhorst, they found her main batteries trained fore and aft, clearly not expecting a major engagement with a British battleship!

[@danielwick7756]

Regarding Scharnhorst herself, I find it regrettable that WoWs has put so much emphasis on "armor angling," which is a totally valid tank strategy, but not one seen in a historical context with gunnery duels at sea. A much, much bigger influence was that of "immunity zones," which are ranges where ships would try to fight within, because enemy guns of certain calibers (usually similar size as those the ship was carrying) would theoretically not be able to penetrate deck and belt armor at those ranges, due to the angle of fall. Immunity zones had a tremendous impact on ship design and on gunnery tactics, but there is essentially no mention or implementation of it in World of Warships.

[@airplanenut89]

Nice to see we are getting closer to the German Battleship line, can't wait. Hopefully though the next WoWs video I see from you is the Warspite one I sent in.
