Shout out to the friendly M12 who played a great supporting role in staving off the enemies rushing the base early on. Though no idea why the enemies just stopped. If they ran for the woods where General Alex was he'd have been overwhelmed.
Thats generaly what happens on that corner though. One team wins the South/east, pushes towards enemy base, gets scared to move up, but also doesnt retreat, meaning they just get slowly gunned down.
Jingles. I've been watching you since I was 14 dude. Almost 10 years ago. Glad to see your chuckle is still jolly. Love your content. I'm about to go rewatch all your old vids. Just wanted to extend my gratitude for a decade of laughs. Live prosperously. You were my first TH-cam subscription.
I wonder if the low spotting damage during that was actually due to Alex being double-bushed for a lot of shots, so potentially not the one actually spotting? May have been awarded to the CS44 instead, who definitely supported very well.
once you win a flank, pushing in is basically not possible, since almost all maps have a base defending spot where you are either fully hulldown or you can double bush and never get spotted. so the best action you can do is turn around and attack their base from the other side...
Good game by Alex, who was top tier (and that helped) but also showed great awareness and did a monsterous amount of damage! My Salt sense is tingling, there are some fresh tears of good quality salt down in the mines!
Saw the title and immediately thought "Ah yes, team mates!" :D I almost miss the artillery days as for a long time when I was playing regularly that artillery would have been toast. "Shoot and scoot!" was the mantra as for every shell going OUT another was coming back IN. Good times, good times :)
Counter arty just is not a thing anymore. I remember getting accused of cheating when counter artying almost every time it happened in the last months before I quit, and that was years ago at this point.
Those were the days. It was sometimes fun to use AP rounds when they did penetrate, 90% of the time they bounced :D I still remember playing S-51 and seeing TOG II going slowly over open ground...
@@ainumahtar The tracers aren't as accurate as they used to be, and damage and RNG has been cut back so most times what you get is just stun. It's just not worth shooting anything that isn't already spotted for most players. You might want to blind fire a few obvious bushes, but if you're doing that when a high priority target gets spotted, by the time you reload, they're already unspotted.. Most of the time I only counterbattery if it's a map like mines where arty has to be in certain places in order to hit anything without being spotted right off the bat.
The one thing you didn't mention about the Bourrasque is the bit I always get stuck on. It's got a two-shot clip that does an average of about 700 damage. As we saw in this video, that means it's capable of killing a very large number of tanks in the two tiers below it with JUST its alpha!!! It's fast and its got no armour, but its gun can compete with TDs for power!!! This is why I can't stand fighting them.
same. this tank is very unbalanced. If this tank is alive in the endgame, then that team wins, always. Its basically a light tank with a TD gun. Also, the name sounds like somebody vomitting.🙃
apcr gold or not ap gold or not HE i dont know about HESH but the no armor tanks will always bounce even a 3 to 1 over match like my Skorp G bounced 3 times in row off a tier 6 amx Lt and i dont know how many times i have bounced on this no armor scout/?med that when set up for it will out scout Lt's just got to see a Claus game where it out scouted all 3 lite's on the red team
Re: Gold ammo. WoT needs WoW's over penetration mechanic. That would add an in-game disadvantage to loading gold in addition to the "costs more credits" post-game bill.
Over-penetration would only be a thing for armor piercing shells with bursting charges. For any kinetic (and inert) or chemical perpetrators, over-penetration really wouldn't change the effectiveness of the damage mechanism.
Well, I was thinking about picking up WoT again after a very long several year long hiatus, this reminded me why I didnt keep playing. teams that do nothing of any use and seem to struggle with breathing and moving their mouse at the same time
I'm sure dozens have already pointed this out, but a 30-06 even equipped with Black-tip military power AP rounds would only barely, maybe be able to penetrate 10mm of armor steel at point blank under ideal conditions. I love your channel, thank you!
Gold spam: Brother, at TIER 3 the BOTS will shoot you with gold. Every single game I played from Tier 3 to tier 8 had me getting shot with 80% gold ammo.
WG bots in all tiers. Goldspam and manipulated "RNG" which now gets explained by criticals and screens to hide the fact that the numbers in the backround are just made up. Since i played for nearly 12 years this game is a former shadow of itself and beside improved graphics everything else seem to have gotten worse.
@@1slotmech Indeed it was always WGs decision if you pen and to what damage but with the introduction of screens which wasnt in the game and the HE nerf its clear behind all this is just making you bleed credits. And for the WG bots if you believe WGs own bots have to follow the "rules" you seem to not have experienced WGs business practice for all that long and thats the reason the seem somehow "good" If you still enjoy the game, good for you, thats in the end what counts you close a game and feel entertained. For a gamer which could observe it for years its sad to see where it goes because i once really liked that game :/
Most of the interwar tanks the French made were very well armored, they were just too slow to compete with more modern German tanks, the later ones were really lightly armored because realistically being spotted would mean a tank would most likely be destroyed anyway. The "French military shit lolol white flag" joke is honestly kinda tired and overused.
@@ainumahtar You missed the joke, I was referring to the Bourrasque. Jingles said it can be taken out by bad language, so I took that opportunity to make fun of the French.
In defense of the gold, you can choose APCR over AP because of the velocity, not necessarily because of the pen. And this tank is fast and not the biggest, so ammo velocity helps.
You don't need to defend gold, almost everyone who still plays wot knows the excuses, it's just press 2 (or whatever you bound gold to) to win, almost irrelevant of the situation. That's also one of the main reasons the game went to shit and you have like 15% of the playerbase as you did years ago.
Last night I was waiting for Jingles and I thought did the old man finally lose his marbles... Im so glad Jingles has this video so I can eat my cold cut sub followed by his laughter.
Having great battle in Burasque OP tank when top tier is something that happens always. I would be ashamed to send this battle. A 46 is crap and that lil guy is one who should get some credits. It should be tier 9 tank!
As an example of good strategic play (which is what I'm most interested in, at least), I'd argue it's a much better video than The Greatest Video Evar. Not great shooting, nothing hilarious happened, but reading the map, use of concealment, etc. was top tier, if you'll pardon the expression.
Its not a medium tank. Its not a light tank. It is the best light tank. Yes i know premium ebr and tier 10 ebr are better, but they are cars. Burrasque is basicaly a tier 10 light tank with nerfed viewrange. Powerful tank but only as powerful as the skill of the driver.
I can remember seeing Gold ammo in T I and II games. It's one of two reasons why I stopped playing WoT. The other is the attitudes I encountered in the game on the NA server.
When I quit people were already mostly using gold ammo in tier 1 and 2, especially for any flak tank. Considering most comments on gold ammo by people still playing are being defended along the lines of "lol get over it it's part of the game" I'd be surprised if less than 95% of ammo overall is gold by now.
@@ainumahtar A free to play game should be free. If you don't buy gold ammo, especially at the higher tiers, you can't play competitive. So if you want to play to loose that is the only choice. In my thoughts WoT is not free to play truly for that reason.
@@keithplymale2374 I think gold ammo and the state of the game being almost entirely balanced around gold ammo are really bad, don't get me wrong, but the game was actually p2w when you could not buy it for credits. I rember doing clan battles way back in the day and getting gold ammo handed out before battles because not everyone could afford it. Now you can just grind credits and buy gold ammo. OP premium tanks are arguably a different story, but the core game very much is free to play, and playable for free. It "just" takes a lot more time as you're going to be bleeding buckets of money at t9 and t10.
I once cornered a Bourasque in my gun rammer equipped Blackdog and fired high explosive at it. If I remember correctly I took it down from full health to zero before it could reload.
8:10 that's the world of tanks these days. But there is advantage of gold spamming - APCR usually has more shell velocity, which is useful when shooting at long distance.
@@ZulousOG ah, before i quit some 5 years ago i was in [NR-NS] but they kicked me for inactivity. i rejoined 6 months ago and have remained active so im still in it now. It still has the same main leaders and it's pretty cool also im the bourrasque in the video fyi (you may see me using two different accounts, one is my school account one is my personal account)

To be truly oblivious you have to be actual bot. Not WG bot. But player bot. Bot which enters battle, moves a bit to avoid AFK detection, and collect XP without human intervention.
As much as it might be fast, as much as it might lack armor, as much as it might be tiny, it's a medium tank. The classification matters. If it was a light tank, it would retain its camo rating while moving.
Funny you mention other players firing gold at the Borat; almost every Borat player I encounter fires gold, even if I play an LT, a paper-armored TD or when they're at the flank of my MT lol
What is that cheat mod that shows you the ouline of the tank you're aiming at and what parts of it are obscured? i dont remember that being an option in the settings last time i played WoT
Skorp G player - Jingles, it's a gold tank. Gold tanks are a plague in WoT. Take a brand new player, he buys a T34 or in this case a scorp G, has no idea what to do and this is the result.

Nothing more frustrating than spotting half the enemy team in your light, while the rest of your team is scratching their crotch I guess, or doing something other than shooting.
is that the bar for "a sucker"? I believe theirs much worse things than ppl playing a free game that would make someone a sucker as you call it,such as Twitch,why in the hell would I give someone money to watch them play a video game? I really dont get it,it will be a cold day in hell before I would do that,also only fans,but I can understand in certain cases that being useful but for the most part no,but dude,just because this game is still being played in NA doesnt mean the ones who play it are suckers,thats laughable
@@Swellington_ i guess you thought you cooked me with that discombobulated sentence, i've been playing this game since 2012 so if you're bad with math that's 12 years and in that time WG has done some dumb shit but over the years they've just cared less and less about WOT and the player base and yes my statement stands if someone is willing to put up with a RNG system that is horribly broken and dog ass match making and a utter failure of a map rotation then yes it proves my point that yes a sucker is born everyday, and your statement about OF and twitch streamers the only reason those are "jobs" and i'm using that word in the looses sense possible cause someone is willing to give them money if people wise up and stop doing that shit they wouldn't be "jobs" now would they ???
Great video as always Jingles. On your comments about gold ammo, you do have a point that people use it against tanks when regular ammo is enough, but….. how many times have you bounce off the ass of a light tank when taking the decisive shot? RNG is extremely trollish, so why add more against you? And a lot of people dont know tank armor values by heart. Plus, at least for me, I am bottom tier 9/10 games so I do carry a lot of gold. I dont blame the tier 6s for firing gold. I would do the same in their place.
My knowledge of the tanks in this game does not extend to knowing how much armour each tank has, so if I was in a tier VI shooting at a tier VIII, I'd probably be using gold too.
The enemy team did very bad as well. The southern flank could have just pushed and easily overrun the cap, but they just stopped in a kill zone.
2 หลายเดือนก่อน +10
It's not only pen value that is increased with premium ammo, but also the speed. And considering that the A46 and the JgPz IV were dealing with a "freaking" Bourrasque, I totally understand them spamming APCR. Fighting against a top tier broken vehicle. And as the result of the battle showed... they should have used MORE, to deal with this broken tier 8 damned vehicle.
Except if you just load HE and aim well instead of just press 2 and auto aim, you would have killed it before having the freakout about it being a bourrasque, but on the other hand, people who actually think (like that) have mostly quit years ago.
2 หลายเดือนก่อน
@@ainumahtar don't forget that HE ammo have lower speed, and as MJ told... Bourrasque is an LT renamed as an MT, so it's little and fast (and slow ammo isn't the best choice to hit fast targets). But gameplay varies from player to player. Try to do your best for you, and for the teamwork (if you can).
Good battle, and you see this shit in wows also, people entering but don't understand the rules in order to win or just doing shit that doesn't make sence at all. anyways good game Alex !!!
WG have 'democratised' upper tiers with the incognate: amusing & infuriating by turns to see the post-game stats - the number of £bought tanks at the foot of the stats, frequently with zero damage: 'Bought a new tank so they can play better'.
To be honest: If I had to fire at that BCB with 30-06 rounds, I'd still be loading the gold and going for at least FMJ or AP🤣 Also, don't forget: It's French, so they'll obviously line the inside with stale baguettes which give a couple inches of extra armour and spall-liner😋
There is so many tanks, best part kinda totally unknown or made up so its not so easy to remember all of them. Not for all life is gaming so for majority (in my opinion) have no chance nor even try to memorize data of tanks in the game. So what they do? Use best ammo they can get and hope for the best.
If nothing else, is there not an indication if you aim at a tank whether it should pen or not? There used to be a color indication whether your shell was likely to pen or not, so not knowing whether you can pen or not is a bad excuse. I'm colorblind, so I never could, so I had to learn all the armor values (and at the time, had the spare time to do so) but for most people there really shouldn't be an excuse, unless they removed that feature.
@ainumahtar i've been plaing WOT for many years and had very hard time using that indicator. I am not color blind but in moments when i really needed it so much was happening that i did not had ability to split my attention that way to look at it. I am not a pro gamer but a bit above average. That should say something.

I don’t want to hear it regarding the armor, I’ve bounced 155mm rds off that thing or low rolled every time. It has WG protection.
auto aim into the gun mantlet goes lololol
LT Turret + LT Hull = MT “WG Logic”
Skorp G player - Jingles, it's a gold tank. Gold tanks are a plague in WoT. Take a brand new player, he buys a T34 or in this case a scorp G, has no idea what to do and this is the result.
apcr gold or not ap gold or not HE i dont know about HESH but the no armor tanks will always bounce even a 2 to 1 over match like my Skorp G bounced 3 times in row off a tier 6 amx Lt and i dont know how many times i have bounced on this no armor scout/?med that when set up for it will out scout Lt's just got to see a Claus game where it out scouted all 3 lite's on the red team
Still see dozens of players loading nothing but pure HE "Because DUH! It duz moar noob!"
Great tank battle.
Alex played a great game. Perhaps his tank didn't him that it likes Cosplay. 😊
Nothing more frustrating than spotting half the enemy team in your light, while the rest of your team is scratching their crotch I guess, or doing something other than shooting.
What a game ... Tier-8 Borrat hunting Tier-6
How much armour does the Bourrasque have? Yes.
the fact that this game is still up and running on the NA server is a perfect example that a sucker is born everyday
is that the bar for "a sucker"? I believe theirs much worse things than ppl playing a free game that would make someone a sucker as you call it,such as Twitch,why in the hell would I give someone money to watch them play a video game? I really dont get it,it will be a cold day in hell before I would do that,also only fans,but I can understand in certain cases that being useful but for the most part no,but dude,just because this game is still being played in NA doesnt mean the ones who play it are suckers,thats laughable
@@Swellington_ i guess you thought you cooked me with that discombobulated sentence, i've been playing this game since 2012 so if you're bad with math that's 12 years and in that time WG has done some dumb shit but over the years they've just cared less and less about WOT and the player base and yes my statement stands if someone is willing to put up with a RNG system that is horribly broken and dog ass match making and a utter failure of a map rotation then yes it proves my point that yes a sucker is born everyday, and your statement about OF and twitch streamers the only reason those are "jobs" and i'm using that word in the looses sense possible cause someone is willing to give them money if people wise up and stop doing that shit they wouldn't be "jobs" now would they ???
Great vieo, thanks!
"Everyone is firing gold." Welcome to World of Tanks. 😂
30-06 AP penetrates 25mm mild steel while only being able to pen 8mm of AR500 hardened steel, both at a range of ~50m.
Awesome 🎉
5:40 to be fair i think it was CS-44 spotting em
it is full gold from tier 6 upwards now
Imagine if this tank got the Smolensk treatment and got overpen'd by gold and overly high pen ammo.
Great video as always Jingles. On your comments about gold ammo, you do have a point that people use it against tanks when regular ammo is enough, but….. how many times have you bounce off the ass of a light tank when taking the decisive shot? RNG is extremely trollish, so why add more against you? And a lot of people dont know tank armor values by heart. Plus, at least for me, I am bottom tier 9/10 games so I do carry a lot of gold. I dont blame the tier 6s for firing gold. I would do the same in their place.
Good morning Gnome Overlord. Justice for P-nut.
My knowledge of the tanks in this game does not extend to knowing how much armour each tank has, so if I was in a tier VI shooting at a tier VIII, I'd probably be using gold too.
The enemy team did very bad as well. The southern flank could have just pushed and easily overrun the cap, but they just stopped in a kill zone.
It's not only pen value that is increased with premium ammo, but also the speed.
And considering that the A46 and the JgPz IV were dealing with a "freaking" Bourrasque, I totally understand them spamming APCR. Fighting against a top tier broken vehicle. And as the result of the battle showed... they should have used MORE, to deal with this broken tier 8 damned vehicle.
me when see a borat i instinctively switch to HE.
Except if you just load HE and aim well instead of just press 2 and auto aim, you would have killed it before having the freakout about it being a bourrasque, but on the other hand, people who actually think (like that) have mostly quit years ago.
@@ainumahtar don't forget that HE ammo have lower speed, and as MJ told... Bourrasque is an LT renamed as an MT, so it's little and fast (and slow ammo isn't the best choice to hit fast targets).
But gameplay varies from player to player. Try to do your best for you, and for the teamwork (if you can).
Catching one of these out with a charioteer, firing hesh is peak rebalancing.
Jings, yer big ha'peth - play a game of WoT. It's mental these days.
While this is a good game by Alex, it's pretty much expected the Borrasque will run roughshod when it's top tier. Ask me how I know.
Thing is Jingles, you "don't get it" because of logic; the players "don't get it" because they're ignorant.
Oh. It's that late again.
I'm surprised anybody can afford tier tens; it's rare that I'm ever hit by a non premium round
We all hate the Bourrasque, right? I mean, it's not just OP, it's OOOP. I get killed by them all the time, and there's not a lot I can do about it.
The second best thing about this replay is your comments Jingles :D
The game really doesn't need the amount of RNG inflicted upon it, the Teammate Modifier is more than enough...
Good battle, and you see this shit in wows also, people entering but don't understand the rules in order to win or just doing shit that doesn't make sence at all. anyways good game Alex !!!
WG have 'democratised' upper tiers with the incognate: amusing & infuriating by turns to see the post-game stats - the number of £bought tanks at the foot of the stats, frequently with zero damage: 'Bought a new tank so they can play better'.
It's less gold at tier X then it is in the low tiers now like 6,7 and 8
Does his back hurt from carrying his whole team like that?
GOLD isn't always PEN improvement its also SHELL VELOCITY.
On the SA server it's gold at tier 4/5
To be honest: If I had to fire at that BCB with 30-06 rounds, I'd still be loading the gold and going for at least FMJ or AP🤣
Also, don't forget: It's French, so they'll obviously line the inside with stale baguettes which give a couple inches of extra armour and spall-liner😋
He only got half spotting because the cs had line of sight too
There is so many tanks, best part kinda totally unknown or made up so its not so easy to remember all of them. Not for all life is gaming so for majority (in my opinion) have no chance nor even try to memorize data of tanks in the game. So what they do? Use best ammo they can get and hope for the best.
If nothing else, is there not an indication if you aim at a tank whether it should pen or not? There used to be a color indication whether your shell was likely to pen or not, so not knowing whether you can pen or not is a bad excuse. I'm colorblind, so I never could, so I had to learn all the armor values (and at the time, had the spare time to do so) but for most people there really shouldn't be an excuse, unless they removed that feature.
@ainumahtar i've been plaing WOT for many years and had very hard time using that indicator. I am not color blind but in moments when i really needed it so much was happening that i did not had ability to split my attention that way to look at it. I am not a pro gamer but a bit above average. That should say something.
Jingles, I get gold spammed at tier 4, through 8
