World of Warships - Well That Escalated Slowly

I don't think I've ever seen a battle with such a slow start have such a tense ending.

That Yudachi was MVP for the winning team. His hits on the Cherbourg kept him reset enough to win with that 1 point! Damn that was close

[@RamonInNZ]

CV should have been going for the DD rather than the BB at the end!

[@GardEngebretsen]

Had the Cherbourg not shot at the Scharnhorst on his way to the cap, which delayed him, it may have been enough too.

[@InservioLetum]

Holy shit! You're right! I hadn't even thought of that!

[@sg_dan]

*Drachinifel:* goes on for 53 minutes to say the Alaskas are large cruisers. *Jingles in under 10s:* Battlecruiser it is deal with it :P

[@EngineeredInsanity_]

What I thought immediately. Though I doubt Jingles would change his mind

[@Tzarkhan]

honestly considering admiral King love for Royal Navy Jingles reasoning might be valid....

[@tomriley5790]

You can follow Drach's argument - i.e. that the Alaskas are a development of cruisers. But as history didn't play out that way and the job of the Alaksa's was exactly that of a Battlecruiser - they're battlecruisers. I've in the past argued that the Iowas are actually battlecruisers in many ways (sacrafice armour for speed, not armoured against their own guns. Had the Montanas, H Class, Lions, Soyuz etc all be built they I think that's how they'd have been looked at - but they weren't so they're battleships....

[@Deevo037]

Its an interesting discussion actually as for what defines a Battlecruiser is the country fielding it.

Well spin my nipple nuts and send me to Alaska, Jingles on the Red Dwarf quotes again. Been a while. 😁

[@SmackcrackIV]

The Cherbourg made multiple poor decisions in this battle. Multiple times he held his fire when he should have fired (like at the start, not shooting the cruiser coming out broadside from behind an island cover even though he had a shot before the guy went stealth) and then shooting the Scharnhorst when he himself was so low on health that a sneeze in his general direction would have sunk him. Good carrier deletion though, that’s always very much appreciated :D

[@Jeffschmidt1984]

It was frustration to watch all those not fired shots.

[@Nighthunter6666]

He has no idea how to play that ship. I'd even go as far as saying he is a noob. Just looking at his gameplay it's evident. Constantly showing broadside, trying to kite away in the middle of the map even tho all his guns are in the front, poor targeting, poor positioning, shooting at an enemy BB on 2.5k HP. It's a miracle he wasn't deleted at some point in the game. He is trying to play that ship as if it was a standard long range HE spammer heavy cruiser instead of sailing up to an island and locking down a part of the map for the enemy.

[@smcn8562]

Going into the 3rd cap also probably cost them the game. Getting spotted and then hit, reset the progress that the Akatsuki had on the cap. If he had stayed out of the cap circle, it was likely that the cap would have happened sooner and so a few extra points and enough to win the game. Edit: I was wrong. The Akatsuki enters the cap at 1:25 and the cap is flipped at 0:27. The Cherbourg saved 2 seconds despite having their cap contribution (not the Akatsuki's to clarify) reset, but it was obviously at great risk. In retrospect, it was a gamble either way and the Yudachi played it really well. If the Yudachi had been more aggressive in trying to defend the cap, the Cherbourg may have been the difference in sinking it. If the Yudachi played it safely, like they did, then going in put themselves at a lot of risk. Either way, I don't blame the Cherbourg in their decision making at this point, I would not have gone in myself but the points ended up such that a gamble was necessary.

[@Andreas_T]

He doesn't even have expert loader, for whatever reason. Can see it at 9:33 when he is switching from HE to AP and then uses a reload booster to finish the shell type switch.

[@tobiasreinhold7642]

I'd also like to point at 11:30 in the video, where he pressed almost all the buttons in a panic, thus wasting his last reload booster.

[@AizuddinDanian]

@Jingles -- thanks for featuring this game and the commiserations at the end. It was a real heart breaker game, but that's how it goes sometimes; watching it back again, i really enjoyed it. So close right to the end.

[@tomriley5790]

The US Navy was worried that if it called its "large cruisers" Battlecruisers funding might be switched from the Iowa or Montana battleships hence the change in their naming. The spotting disappearing was the kagero going behind the little island.

[@williamlove6876]

I had to scroll way to far to see the correct, but still absurd, explanation. The "large cruiser" designation was to be sure the funding and resources for the Alaskas was considered to be under a cruiser program, not a battleship one. But they were very much "pocket battleships". The 12 inch mk8s were very impressive naval artillery.

[@jcorbett9620]

1:42 "His team have a Sanzang, I have no idea what that is" Oh Mighty Rear Admiral Jingles. It's in the Pan-Asian tech line, but is a re-skin of the USS Saipan. It's from the "Journey to the West" Chinese folk tale which we would know better as the basis for the "Monkey!" TV show, shown on BBC2 back in the late 70's early 80's. The Sanzang is one of four ships which are the representation of the four characters, Trippitaka (Sanzang), the Buddist Monk in the show, along with Sandy (Wujing), Pigsy (Bajie) and of course Monkey (Wukong) himself.

[@brextonridgdell8564]

[@IIIJG52]

That was damn close. Some rather interesting choices by this player. Not great gameplay but some decisions the average potato wouldnt do correctly. Looks like someone on the path to improving :)

[@x-Spirax-x]

I don't play WoWS anymore but something about listening to Jingles commentate on a battle gets me... Maybe its because I've been a fan of his since like, 2012, or whenever he first started gaining popularity in WoT. Happy birthday Jingles!

[@1stMasterAce]

don't forget he was the only player of the whole battle to reach 1700 base xp, while the winning enemy top player only got over 1500.

[@tbjtbj7930]

"looks like a battlecruiser... smells like a battlecruiser, tastes like a battlecruiser..." "Hmm, Neddy, this battlecruiser is beautifully cooked!" And if you get that reference you are probably even older than Jingles. If you didn't there was a Red Dwarf piti-ref for you.

[@Sam-im5tc]

That Yudachi is lucky no one was peppering that smokescreen with blind fires or charging him down to end him at the last moment.

[@oldholmes]

Red Dwarf reference. Thank you Jingles for making my laugh out loud and have my family glare at me. Back to the salt mines I go.

[@aleksanderdomanski222]

I remembere winning Battlefield 1942 Clan Battle (4 rounds) by 1 point. Shadowing enemy cap by 3 sec on lost round gave us that edge. So, boys, every second matters.

[@RichardHardslab]

The Cherbourg is a delightful ship to play, I definitely had a great time grinding it out. Now I’m playing with the Brest.

[@timothyhouse1622]

To be fair, the Alaska class were designated "large cruisers" so their construction would be approved. Even then they haggled over whether they would finish them or not because the whole reason they were built no longer existed by the time they were close to being complete.

[@tboneisgaming]

Nice Red Dwarf reference near the start of the game. 😊

[@TomSchillemans]

Torpedo beats remind me of "Wai you gaf to be mad" series. Was awesome that!

[@NochKlinka]

I look at it like this battlecruisers had the guns of its contemporary battleship, which the Alaskas definitely did not, and I also believe that if some of the Montana class got finished the Iowa would be called battlecruisers. So I don't think saying Alaska class as black and white definitely battlecruisers doesn't quite fit

[@FltCaptAlan]

They are slower then their contemporary BBs too, something BCs aren't, and if Iowa makes the shift to BC thanks to Monty, that doesn't help the Alaska's case

[@Wolfeson28]

In my opinion, the whole "does it have the same size guns as a battleship" issue doesn't really matter. If a ship has significantly bigger guns than standard cruisers, and is designed to easily kill those cruisers while running from battleships, it's a battlecruiser. To me "large cruiser" is just another name for a battlecruiser. The guns being exactly battleship size or a bit smaller doesn't change the ship's real capabilities or role. I would argue (and I've rambled on about these topics at length on the relevant Drach videos😁) that the Iowas are still battleships because they were designed to be able to fight other battleships. I mean, they would have been the best available choice to take on a Yamato in surface combat if that need had arisen, and an Iowa would have been a credible opponent against a Yamato despite being only about 70% the tonnage. I think it's more accurate to consider the Iowas as a fast (faster, anyway) battleship equivalent of the South Dakotas (more tonnage to get more speed without sacrificing any of the guns or armor) than a battlecruiser counterpart to the Montanas.

Hi Jingles. Hi Rita. Hi Kitty Mistresses. I loved Akizuki's comments today. She always has a good point. Quite a few pointy bits actually. Please give her and the Grand Dame Hjusie scritches and treats. How to describe today's battle? I'd say a bunch of ships steaming around taking potshots when an opportunity arose saying "Go on, get in there" to each other. Then someone did, and it was on. Then it ended on a nail biter buzzer beater. Have a wonderful evening, compadre. 🐈🐈‍⬛👑✌️🖖

[@Apollyon-er4ut]

Had a few like that on both sides. Great game. Seems to me that the friendly CV was focused on the wrong target. He was chasing the Scharny, but Yudachi was the prime target, more likely to be killed and spotting forces him away.

This was a game of throws. The Cherbourg could have gotten into the cap fast enough to prevent the enemy team getting enough points for the win. Instead he took a pointless pot shot at the shiny horse, had to manoeuvre to avoid return fire, and delayed his entry into the cap. One tick was all he needed, and he blew it.

Re Jingles Air craft carrier comment, the Sanzsang is a Pan Asian copy of the weak US CV the Saipan. For the life of me when deciding on a cv to copy for pan Asia I have no idea why they didn't copy lex or enterprise instead as they are both materially better US T8 CVs, that is before considering the even more op Russian alternatives.

I think the US Navy's reluctance to call them 'Battle Cruisers' was more related to the fact that British Battle Cruisers had an unfortunate tendency to blow up to such a degree that in the mind of the Americans, the Brits had jinxed the name: Battle Cruiser.

For all of the George Carlin fans out there, this issue of when a Battle Cruiser is that, or when it is ' Something else ' and how we are wrong not to change how we call this or that what it is rather than stick with what it IS rather than calling it something other just to give some BOZO 5 seconds of notoriety. This is the utter Insanity that led to the BC's being put in the line of battle when the armor was never built to serve in that capacity and sunk as a result, and as I finish this I can hear him now and see the look on his face, LOL there are some expressions that will never be copied again, He was/is/will be priceless, LOLOLOLOL.
