World of Warships - The Worst Ship In The Game

Ah yes, Tiger '59. Only two turrets, a citadel that can be overmatched by heavy cruisers and worse dpm than a nun with a revolver. And people paid money for it!

Cowplop2 here, thanks for featuring my replay Jingles, been watching you since before WoWS was even a game and finally had something worthy, in the Tiger 59 of all things. I still 100% agree with you that the Tiger is terrible and I still will not recommend it to anyone, far better ships to spend money on, but if you're careful and learn the ship enough, it can still be competitive in certain situations, but extreamly stressful while doing so. Cheers!

That's just plain silly, the ship has secondary batteries and they refused to make them functional. While the secondary guns were AA, they were dual purpose. In real life that ship would have fired a lot more at a DD at that range than just 4 shells from the main armament. The dual purpose guns that are modeled but only implemented as AA would have made a cool secondary gun build on a cruiser...

I watch these videos because Jingles' play by play is both instructive and amusing. I like how he gives a history lesson while narrating the melee. I also like how he's so gentle when his cats make their own comments. As a fellow catslave, I respect that. I like watching the videos while eating breakfast, but I'm an ocean and 3/4 of a continent away so I haven't seen it yet. I'll watch it in 7 hours or so. It's 3:30 a m where I am, I only got up because I'm 58 years old and had to go take a leak. This one is apparently about a someone playing a ship called 'Tiger' which doubly intrigues me as that is the English language translation of the name of my feline overlord. Honestly, I don't even play the game, I don't like getting something and having to pay to use it even if it's free. This is a symptom of a broken system that's only getting more broken as the years pass. On the lighter side, I got my second ❤️ from Jingles himself today. Once again, I'm honored. Can't wait to watch it when I return to consciousness, but I'm going back to sleep now 😉🥱😴💤 Now I've watched it, that was a masterful demonstration of polishing a turd and making it shine.

[@Will_CH1]

The tiger class had fully automatic loading. the 3 inch secondaries fired 115 rounds per minute and the 6 inch, could do 20 rounds per minute from each gun. Fewer barrels but more shells per minute than a Sverdlov.

[@beaglemusiclabs]

I long hoped to see this ship in the game and bought it due to historical interest (last all-gun cruiser built, but with the fastest-firing 6" guns). I think the ships should be a knot faster (to 31.5 kn) and could be made more competitive through addition of a second shell type (navweaps says there were both AP and HE shells), and possibly a mild and/or short-duration engine boost.

[@silverhost9782]

The guns on Tiger could fire 3-4 times faster than the ones used on Belfast, so it's effective firepower should be equal to or greater than the Edinburgh at T9. WG obviously didn't do that though... It's extremely rapid fire 3 inch secondaries should have been implemented properly too, but there we are lol

[@Taliesin2]

It's 2-3 times aß fast (Belfast 8 times /min, Tiger 20times /min) also from Wikipedia: "However, Tiger's 6-inch guns usually jammed after 30 seconds firing, and couldn't deliver sustained bombardment in support of troops ashore." So maybe the effectiveness has been overstated by WG. Agree about the secondaries though.

[@silverhost9782]

@@Taliesin2 It depends on what number you use- some sources put Belfast at 6 rounds per minute and Tiger at 20, which puts it in the 3-4 times range rather than 2-3. Either way, it's not really reflected in game. As for reliability, it again kinda depends on who you read. Navweaps will tell you it's nowhere near as bad as what Wikipedia seems to suggest

[@Ushio01]

@@Taliesin2 That was because of teething troubles when they were first commissioned. They got a lot better. In reality the Belfast and other Town and Crown Colony class had a rate of fire of 6 shots a minutes during combat 8 shots a minute was for brief periods in training only when the ship is stationary.

Or the nerfs germany got now even where they had to face atgms with 600-800mm penetration or radar guided AA.

Vanguard was in service as were at the RN carriers to deal with the Russian cruisers. The Tiger class was an anti aircraft escort for those ships. Fighting other cruisers wasn't it's job and it could do AA better than a Town or Crown colony because it's 6inch guns were dual purpose. Larger AA guns were needed because you could engage enemy aircraft from further away you didn't want aircraft dropping guided bombs or torps from within range of 40mm guns anymore. Comparing it to the Town class especially the enlarged Belfast isn't really fair either. The Belfast was 10% longer and had a 5 foot increase to her beam to allow her to carry all the new radars without losing any main armament though it decreased her speed and range. The Tiger class were designed with all the modern radars while keeping to the dimensions of a crown colony class so armament had to be sacrificed for a specialised AA only armament.

Equipped with 4 152mm guns with excellent rate of fire and range blah blah blah. Pros - 1sec reload time - Guns have 20km range - Access to Radar, sonar and smokescreen consumables - Unique smokescreen that works against most radars - 4*4 20km torpedos Cons - Only 4 guns in 2 turrets - Radar range is only 12km and with a short duration of only 120 seconds - Sonar have range of only 8km - smokescreen doesn't cover you from sonar and electrostalinum waves emitted by Soviet radars - Torpedos are very similar to Japanese 610mm torpedos and therefore lacks homing capabilities. - Low hp pool of only 60000hp. - 300mm around the citadel - Only 30% torpedo damage reduction Overall this iconic ship is for those masochists who like to play American battle ships and other garbage ships. Ship is subject to stat change cause they clearly needs it as they can still be sunk by our most hated ships, US battleships (huh, what do mean "German bbs", people still play them?

Emerald is still the worst Tech Line ship, but Tiger does make a strong bid for the Krym's title. That said, there is something fun about playing a ship as bad as Tiger '59 and Krasny Krym (I do have both and play them for a laugh, Emerald as well); if you have a good game you know it's because you played well and because they're so bad, if you have a bad game then oh well, the ship is crap anyway.

I think you are forgetting the Katori, the only playable non warship in WoWs. And this radar and smoke eqipped 4-gun mobile citadel looks just like a bigger better version of it uptiered to 8.

[@usssimshullnumberdd-4095]

At least Katori gets torpedoes lmao

[@pyalot]

@@usssimshullnumberdd-4095 Yeah I really feel those 2x2 7km 9k torps help to offset her non existent 2x2 140mm gun dpm, 10.6km concealment, 18 knots top speed, non existent armor and completely above water citadel running from bow to stern. Especially when it gets uptiered into rier 4 90% of the time where it cant out spot, out gun, out run, out tank or out turn any other cruiser or BB. If they made a consumable allowing Katori to fire a last salvo of torps from the bottom of the ocean, it would still be useless. At least before the skill rework, it could be made to out-range some of its adversaries (even though it would struggle to keep at range on account of being unable tu run away from even the slowest BBs), and even though it did virtually zero damage this way, on lucky days it could draw the fire of the enemy, whichon the whole is good for the team. But those days are long gone…

I share your battle performance assesment of the Tiger '59. ^^

[@jadpho1380]

Dont forget the Chesire Jingles

[@Vnx]

This thing sounds like a tier 8 Yubari. At least as I remember the ship, I stopped playing years ago. The Yubari did have torpedoes but such narrow firing arcs you had to show flat broadside to use them. 4 guns, terrible DPM, and toothless AA on what they marketed as an AA cruiser.

[@turbogerbil2935]

WG seems to like giving British ships & tanks "real world" characteristics, in games where everything else has absurdly exaggerated arcade characteristics. Tiger ought to be one of the most OP gunships in the game with its advanced radar and gun systems (ditto for Vanguard, with arguably the most advanced armour scheme and sophisticated fire control system of any BB). I actually recall seeing Tiger and Blake alongside when I was a naval cadet (albeit they were both helicopter cruisers by then).

[@TehSmokeyMan]

"Tiger '59: You'll find more DPM in Akizukis front claws" 😋 It's almost like TOG, but TOG has a certain charm to it...😆

[@emberfist8347]

TOG actually has a pretty good gun decent reload, good stability because the tank has the speed and haste of a drunk sloth, and pretty good damage for its tier. It is the same gun and turret as on the Challenger which uses a 17-per.

[@TehSmokeyMan]

@@emberfist8347 I know; even though I'm not active anymore on WoT, I do have a TOG and I love 'em to bits. It's hard to get 'em in a herd, but when you do it's s##ts and giggles all the way 😋

[@waverleyjournalise5757]

Enemy team was too busy laughing at the Tiger to focus fire and win? Then again, they did bring a Bismarck into competitive...

[@ThrowawayModeller]

About the Sverdlov - it's actually coming to WarThunder this update

[@garethfairclough8715]

Hell, the Sverdlovs are in game, as a T8 premium!

[@phatskellington1371]

I've always had great games in this boat if you play it strength it could be a predator plus that smoke and radar chef's kiss

[@osimandus]

Reminds of a line from a Monty Python song, 'Nibbled to death by an Okapi'.

[@greg_mmm]

My German isn't very good so I could have misheard but I believe Gneisneau said more Tiger '59 videos would be greatly appreciated

[@Thomas-us4wq]

Hi Jingles.. When is the optimum time to use heals ?

[@largain]

My grandfather worked as a radar operator on this ship

[@fubblitious]

I made a model of HMS Tiger as a child, and I rubbed my hand along her near-scrapped hull "up the Hamble a bit" as a teenager. I recall a sadness at her lack of gunnery on both occasions. Although if Warbloodygaming had also given theirs 6 x 76mm HE spamming secondaries as it should have had (0.5 sec between shots per barrel) ... oh wait ... even Wargaming has boundaries it won't cross ... ???

[@eduardochakovski9404]

What sorcery is this Jingles... a ship thats worse then the Gneisenau?!

[@rocketmanhowie6623]

Will you be at the Belfast on the 11th of September? If yes I am definitely going

[@stevecallaghan2466]

Yukon is the runner-up!

[@Boondocksts1]

They should give it the unlimited reload boost that Austin has

[@williambarnett9719]

casually gardening damage on the baltimore

[@7thsealord888]

Good game. Jingles, on your list of terrible ships, I don't consider the Krasny Krim to be one of them - have had some very satisfying games in her. She makes a good spammer, especially given her gun arcs allow a fair amount of firepower in basically every direction.
