Citadels, detonations, and a Hail Mary shot at a sub from 14 km, this Mackenson was firing charmed shells all game, if he'd been firing in a monsoon the shells would have flown between the raindrops.
oh thank god i wasn't the only one who thought this. like his first 4 or 5 salvo's all had hits, even that random shot out the back with only 1 turret landed 1 shell out of 2. i was like IN A MACKENSEN?! HOW!!
Hey Jingles, Jeff here. Thank you so much for showcasing my replay! I've been watching you since 2019, and it's surreal to finally be on the other end! Some fun facts about the battle: 1. This was my first random battle in the Mackensen. I'd previously run A-sym to get a handle for her, but this was her random debut. It was also the debut battle for my div mates in their Gokase and Cachalot. 2. That Duca was zoomed in on binocular view at max range. I believe you see him arcing shells well over me at another target. Man still played an amazing opening. 3. I was fully aware that New Mex was going to wreck me, and I consider that my one major miatake of the battle. I was, as you said, going too slow to angle the bow around in time, and i also didn't want to cut off my sub div mate's torps if they had range. 4. That Dallas was on full HP before he engaed my Gokase div mate. Even though he went down, I'd say reducing the Dallas to 8k was a worthy trade. 5. I was pounding my desk and grunting like a chimpanzee after winning. I was honestly in shock at what I'd just managed to pull off, and I needed to step away from Warships for the rest of the evening to cool off lol. 6. Yes, the name Jeff_the_Shark comes from exactly where you think it does. If you know, you know. Once again, thank you so much for the feature Jingles, and have a great weekend!
"It's a WWI design so it's never going to be especially fast, especially by WWII fast battleships standards" Renown, Repulse, and Hood: are we jokes to you?
Also - 3 ships you mentioned had refits. But not unfair. Germans used their BC's in a different manner than Brits. I would love to see if Seydlitz is modeled in game and perhaps has some unique skill (the more damaged it is the more powerful it becomes - or at least it's detection range gets smaller ;) )
@@johnfrancisterne1072 Something like that. Or at least some other mechanic that would work like Adrenaline rush, but it wouldn't work on how reload is working, but on spotting distance. IDK if it's possible to do this even. I thought that WG was selling us millions of captains and premium ships etc. Few of which (compared to the overall number) have some basis in reality. And Seydlitz is one of the icons of taking absolutely crazy amount of damage and not sinking. The only way I can see it being implemented would indeed be to modify AR.
I think the duca slammed on the brakes to avoid the torps. Then motored left for the convenient smoke to complete the cap. Only to hit the brakes because of the Mackenson. Or he was afk. Fell out of his chair laughing at his 3 victims.
Jeff the Shark? More like Jeff the MEGLADON! Holy crap someone give that man a Comfy chair, cus his back must be KILLING him after a game like that. Although feel like he would have done more damage to the Dallas and Nicholas firing High Explosive.
Ahh, Fault Line, one of my favorite mid-tier maps! Capture point "C" is such a hilarious gamble... if you try to secure it, you will almost certainly get stuck in a knife fight while completely cut off from your team. If you don't secure it, you may lose the point and get ambushed from behind. And the narrow mid-line channel between the mountains, with the lion's mouth island making a wye at one end, is a hilarious idiot magnet, Twin Brothers's little brother. As for the rest of the map, once you get into that middle killing ground, it's hard to get out, but only a good player can attack well from outside it. Plenty of very challenging placement decisions, but also plenty of opportunities for really fun mid-tier knife fights between only a few ships on either side. Lots of good memories about that map, even in the bad battles! Enemy team "managed" to lose because they weren't actually any good at all. It's just that Jefftheshark's team, other than himself and his two division mates, were even worse. Once they were gone, it was much harder for the enemy to finish off Jeff's division mates. They lucked into stupid, then found out how hard smart hits.
Always wondered why there were so many different calibers in a given Navy - that means manufacturing separate barrels and especially separate ammo. The fewer the calibers the easier manufacturing and logistics will be. It might be possible to use smaller caliber in a larger gun with a sleeve or sabot, but then that's something else to stock.
2 words performance and availability. Highly recomend Drachinifel's naval logistics video. but TLDR: If fleet A have really good armor and you need a 15 inch gun to pears but you can only make 5 15 inch guns in an entier year but you can make a loot of 12 inch guns. You have to either only have 1-3 15 inch gun ships or you have 1-3 15 inch gun ships and 5-6 12 inch gun ships. And then there is the fact that diffrent guns have difrent performance, whant rapid fire: need small gun, want a loot of exlposiv filler need a biger gun etz. etz.
@@wartorngaming1037 This, and the RN had the added benefit that the German navy where only fielding out lower caliber ships. When fielding out 13.5 and 15" ships, the RN did not HAD to devote equivalent armour on them, only enough to stop German shells. (Compared to the US navy where compromises where made to achieve sufficient equivalent armouring). The other way around is that German ships needed to be up-armoured to 13.5" and later 15" shells. Dr. Alexander Clarke argues that the Imperial German navy choose wrongly: in enclosed waters, with a Royal Navy of superior ship numbers, the Germany navy should have focused speed and firepower because in their situation they had to kill RN ships at any opportunity available. Getting into slug matches where a German capital ships survives by the skin of its teeth, but without sinking an equivalent, is as good as loosing your ship because the RN always will have an replacement vessel available and enough dockyards to repair without impacting new-builds, while a German ship would have been mission killed for extensive periods.
Also back in the WWI timeframe mass manufacturing hadn't yet evolved anywhere close to the point where it's today, so the benefit from concentrating on fewer calibres was less in those days than today.
Not sure if you have been told this, but thank you for your conversion to freedom units for the size of the guns. As an American it just really helps for perspective.
Another good one, Jingles. Hope you're doing ok, old man. I've been following your channel for over 7 years now. Can't wait for the next chuckle. Yours, not mine :)
This is both a Throw and a really good game. Congrats to the Captain. And the division (Cachalot couldn't do a lot, when he was alone and surrounded by enemies sufficiently far away or behind islands to negate any attack. And they had air dropped depth charges). Rest of the team was..... well, I'm glad I wasn't there, because I wouldn't be of more use than they were ;)
This tier 6 gameplay was a TREAT! I was on the edge of my seat most of this rollercoaster ride! And I gotta love seeing 14k experience gain in a Mackenson lol
Jingles, this World of Warships replay video was absolutely phenomenal! Your deep understanding of the game and its history is truly impressive, and your ability to identify ships just by their visual shape is nothing short of amazing. Your commentary is always insightful and engaging, making your videos a joy to watch. I particularly enjoyed your analysis of the Farragut. Your explanation of the engagement was incredibly informative, and your tactical insights were spot-on. I learned a lot from your video, and I'm sure many other viewers did as well. Please keep up the amazing work, Jingles! Your videos are a valuable resource for World of Warships players of all skill levels, and they're always a pleasure to watch. I eagerly await your next video!
This games wonky mechanics is what teaches people to sail broadside. Probably 8/10 times the New Mexico and New York get away with broadsiding because this game is cursed for people like me who watch their shots somehow go through 300mm+ of armor belt, several compartments and then out the other side for minimal damage.
Gotta give it to Jeff's division mates as well. It wasn't any coincidence that they were the last members alive besides him. They helped keep the match winnable.
I adore your content. And as an aside, will consider any of your sponsors because even though you going through it, you ain't gonna screw us. Seeing lower tier stuff makes me happy because I can't do higher. It often feels that if you aint in T10, you aint playing WoWS. A series from you covering lower end content of players that well, just done F'd up and need advice on what they should have done at point A, B, C, and D would be amazing.
Doesnt matter, its mid tier cruisers and they get overmatched absolutely everywhere. The whole mid tier game is designed by WG to cater to potato players who tend to want to play BBs.
FYI, Mackenson has a weak cheek. If you hit the casemate mounted secondary under the B turret at an angle it's almost always a citadel hit. I've always had good games with Mackenson, gud bote. -Tavman

I would assume that the Duca forgot that the Mack got hydro? Also: Weird that the Fara and Dallas go for him instead of just heading to C to cap out and secure the win..... But then Jingles wouldn't have this great replay?

So glad to hear that sadistic laughter again. Quite the relief I must say. Fingers still crossed though.
We are sending the positive energy to our Rear Admiral!
I think the duca slammed on the brakes to avoid the torps. Then motored left for the convenient smoke to complete the cap. Only to hit the brakes because of the Mackenson. Or he was afk. Fell out of his chair laughing at his 3 victims.
He was not AFK since he fired a salvo half a second before dying.
I think he don't know that bb have hydro and he stays in the smoke and waiting the bb push to torp him in close range to can't miss
Jeff the Shark? More like Jeff the MEGLADON! Holy crap someone give that man a Comfy chair, cus his back must be KILLING him after a game like that.

5 minutes ago! Always appreciate a fresh Jingles video straight from the oven.
To be fair to Hawkins, the ship is irredeemable shit. Anything that pens at any angle will citadel and you only have a 6 gun broadside.
That Nicholas had such a good camo scheme it changed the nameplate to a Farragut.

The Dallas looked like she pulled a notser about the same time the “farragut” engaged our hero in the replay
I imagine that the Mackensen having a very far rear turret would have the disadvantage of more armour needed going further aft.

Question - can a New Mexico overmatch a Mackensen's nose armour (14" versus something thin) I'm not sure nosing in would have saved it.
I don't like BB games, but this one, what a game!
Great game. It has to be said though, I still prefer the WoT videos. Thanks Jingles.

After yesterday's WoT battle, I thought this would be a let-down. Nope. Awesome. He was THIS CLOSE to dead, still won.
So the shells actually go where you aimed with this ship ? When was this introduced in WOWS ?
This just proves people are unwilling to learn how to not suck

How did he get those long range shots to hit while on a Mackensen? LOL
They fed him 8... Oh my
WOOT JINGLES!~!!!! :)
Getting later and later, poor show Jingles, it's not like you've got anything else important going on 😂😂😂
If his engine was knocked out there would be flames coming out of his smoke stacks and there weren't. No he was just sitting there.
