Just be aware that I get hundreds of emails every week and I can't promise that I'll show what you send in.
I have been playing Since beta but i just came back from a 1-2year break.
And i decided to start grinding this ship and the new tilman ships.
I am using a normal 10 point captain and its a servival build.
Also i state during the battle that im glad i equipped all my flags for extra XP and its the 1st battle of the day.
Only to realize i equipped them on the colorado but forgot to equip them on this ship! XD
I just unlocked the Izmail!
Fun to be had by all!
You will enjoy all of the USSR BB line ships for sure. My personal favorite was the Sov. Soyuz, it felt like a BETTER NC in all aspects. Kremlin on the other hand, was a disappointment compared to the other USSR BBs due to the fact it wasn't so ''op'' for it's tier. Sure, you can still face t10s in a t8 BB but it's not that common today. USSR heavy cruisers and ''op'' BBs just sh*t bricks when a Thunderer starts to focus them with HE... I mean high velocity plasma shells! And I can't stress enough how badly the soviets suffer from IFHE cruiser spamm in t10. But when the stars align, the weather is clear and your ship crew have a full stock of vodka, it's a blast to play. The close range dispersion buff allows you to nuke DDs with AP 95% of the time and the turret rotation is just pure ''magic''.
@@dominges In my experience USSR BB is good only up to Izmail. Beyond that it's like a downgrade, I can't use the higher tier ships at all.
@@Meonium I found the Izmail to be the stinker of the line actualy. Everything else was pretty good.
I had however some problems after hearing about how OP they are and how tanky they are that i was wildly overconfident and overextended into position i could only hold or survive in with a team...in randoms.. i died a fair bit.
You gona enjoy the Vladi, is a great BB.
Done the ru bb line, twice now... It's a real easy line. Sinop on up, are sea monsters!
That Emile Bertin is basically like Mr Nesbitt. Mr Nesbitt knows the value of not being seen 🤔😂
He has, however, chosen a very obvious bit of cover...
Exact same thing going through my head hahaha
Though the same! ^^
Watching those cruisers pop reminded me of that quote from the Battle of Jutland: "There seems to be something wrong with our bloody ships."
Jingles, you forgot the 4th characteristic: using not only the w or s key, but able to use the a and d key with the w and s.
The emile was zig zagging better than a lot of t10s
After a while, the pain teaches you...
@@lairdcummings9092 based on a lot of Jingles videos (among others), I'm not sure about that...
@@ScottKenny1978 fair point.
I cannot explain the feeling of excitement that overtakes me when an enemy Omaha is spotted
That poor bastard 😂
"FOOD" comes to mind.
@Tobias Time I will give you that but you have to hide ALL the time ...I milked every DD's smoke screen to survive and I sold it off the minute I got to the next tier
@Tobias Time yup honestly playing Marblehead is my favorite all round ship. Close with the enemy turn before he spots you HE spam while moving at high speed away zig zag away. It will frustrate their aim while they get citadeled by friendly battleships. When the fire drops off on you turn back round rinse and repeat
@Tobias Time agree with you on all counts .. Dallas is harder to play
The day you realize Furutaka has more deck armour than tier 10 battleships and has Zao dispersion is the day you realize it's the perfect seal-clubbing machine.
Also its the only T5 heavy cruiser so it can citadel enemy cruisers through the bows
Also it has good torps, is fast and is somewhat less of a floating citadel than the other T5s
I think that the IJN cruisers have destroyer dispersion formula
I regularly play the Furry Taco because it’s the most fun lower tier boat for me .
@@restarting_krnl only exception is 155 mogami
the furrytaco is my go to sealclubbing machine.
T5 CAs: what is my purpose?
WG: you’re here to make the brand new BB players feel good about this game and buy premium.
Jingles: Look at the Hawkins Citadel! It’s absolutely massive!
Also Jingles: Is viewing the *Casemate* and Citadel armor
Isnt the "casemate" just the tiny bit of armor in the superstructure designed to protect the captain and therefore it hardly surrounds the citadel?
@@CesarinPillinGaming the casemate is the part of the ship on larger warships thst stores the secondary battery magazines/barbettes. It’s usually located on the deck above the citadel. In dreadnought battleships and older the casemate was also where the secondary guns themselves were located.
In WoWs the casemate takes more damage than the bow/stern and superstructure bit not nearly as much as the citadel.
As for the area where the captain commands the ship, you’re likely thinking of the conning tower, which yes is part of the superstructure
@Tobias Time I thought the casemate had some issue with damage compared to other parts if the ship? Maybe it heals a smaller portion than the rest then? Citadels are 1/10 for healing, and the bow/stern is 1/2
@@AlteryxGaming I see thanks.
@11:26 is the only time you will ever hear an Englishman tell people to be more like a Frenchman.
Lol
😂
😂😂😂
Go wash your mouth out at once Boy!
Now I want to see Jingles play couple of hours in tier 5 cruisers, excluding furious taco. That would be delicious
Does Jingles actually play anymore. Haven't seen him in a battle in like a year?
Cruiser go BRRR
Oh hello there WT guy
Will we see you do World of Warships too?
*snickers* hey Norden, when is your next video coming out?
More like cruisers go KABOOOOM!
Is that the Nordern! Omg biggest fan
The biggest slap in the face is that before T5 you're almost exclusively fighting bots that just charge ahead and cant hit the sea if they tried (making SpaceX afraid their aiming algorithm one day might be used by a space launch company), while immediately when entering T5 most, if not all, the ships you're fighting are more or less "veterans".
The Tier 5 Cruisers need to take the courses on "How not to be seen" by Monty Python
Another problem with tier v is that you ALWAYS get matched up against tier vii.
if you play T5 you can only get up tiered against IV but you can but down tiered to T7
That one guy hiding, "has learned not to be seen".
When I read the title I knew we would get a look at the "CRUISER DELETE" key on the keyboard.
Anyone notice the friendly Acastas name ? Ilova_Goodfach.
thats austin powers worthy
@@TwiGuy4 James Bond was there first.
Goodfach by name, very goodfach by reputation
I added a like, it had to remove it as you’re at 69 😀
Tier 5 is where you learn how to drive a cruiser. The Emile Bertin captain has it figured out, the other guys...not so much.
Evade! EVADE! EVAAADDEEEEE!!!!!! WHY IS THIS MAP ONLY 30km, I need to RUNNNNNNN!!!!
Meanwhile, the BBs are chilling behind their islands for the "Five minutes" warning call to wake them up and the DDs are spotting targets that are a) evading (CAs) and b) camping (BBs) but not c) being fired at.
"Every time a cruiser gives broadside a battleship, god kills a kitten." *Darth Jingles 2021
you wicked old english person.....
*hug*
this had me laughing
Akazuki is really paranoid now
Me, eternal noob: Makes you wonder what the point of tier V cruisers is. Jingles: 'Learning the hard way' IS the point. Thanks for the heads up.
I'm close to getting my first T5 cruiser, so glad i watched this vid!
What's it going to be
Learn the maps, and learn what sort of island you can shoot over, and you will do just fine in Cruisers. They are great fun, but don't expect them to ever be able to tank much damage outside of the high tier Russians(They have rather large nice ice breaker bows). Also if you go down a light cruiser line, well the only proper light cruiser line(American, the Russians cheat having 180mm guns). Expect T7 to kind of suck, your guns won't have enough pen to damage the deck/bow/stern of T8 battleships even with Inertia Fuse High Explosive, they will literally be 1mm short, at 31mm, grab IFHE anyway though on the American Light Cruisers, because at T8 now you will have I think it's 37mm of pen, and be able to start wrecking T8+ battleships.
Cruisers, like destroyers, get more influential the longer they stay alive.
Battleships run out of heals, destroyers get chip damage or killed.
Learn the lesson well and good luck! 07
best advice is to follow and support your battleships!
don't yolo into the middle, but support with HE spam and air cover!
treat islands like ur waifu as even he rounds will just wreck the shit out of you
I feel like I might actually go back and play tier 5,6,7 for a while as it looks much more fun than the high tier matches at the moment.
The players are way worse, as you can see in this video. So if you want to club some seals, go for it. The lower tiers have fun ships and arguably a better meta, but there just aren't enough people on the servers for the low tiers to have the same quality players unfortunately.
@@mjxw What mass of high tier quality players are we talking about?
Can confirm it is.
@@CaptCondor potatoes are a hardy species: they grow in many soils. but seriously, even if just on a relative basis, what i'm saying is true
@@mjxw My intention was not to deny the truth in your post, because definately the players in the Jingles video are playing those light cruisers a lot less than optimal. The Pyotr Veliky is for it's tier a very dangerous opponent, but you can make it's life a lot more easy, which is what a lot of players there - probably involuntarily - did.
At the same time however this kind of gameplay is getting more and more prevalent in the higher tiers as well. Also, at least on the EU server, those high tier potatoes are often very obnoxious in chat.
Tier 5? Oh boy, here we go clubbin’ again!
My first shock of playing differently was when the Cleavland got uptiered. Um, yeah, that was my 1st experience in a T10 match. I did not last long in matches as everything could overmatch my armor and learned to make love to islands.
tier 5 cruisers: I'm straight up not having a good time!
@Tobias Time punishing experience for the newer players for sure, and the experienced players playing murmansk etc are a pest to play against as a bb!
@Tobias Time budyonny feels like kotovsky with better guns- equally bad armour, larger and slower, but i do ok (56% wr)
Remind me of my time in the phonix, only after i learned the hardway to hide behind islands it got better
I love the chat in game at about 11:10... enemy team chats..."FUCKING RUN!" lolol
Yaaay! Thanks, Jingles ^^
Ah Omaha and Emerald; two ships made 100% of Citadels and Explodium. That said, playing those two when I was still a noob taught me the life-saving important of kiting and how to dodge salvos, because even one hit can be the end of you. I actually enjoy playing them both, even if sometimes it is only briefly before I'm sent back to port to contemplate the phrase "boom".
I particularly like the Konigsberg at this tier. Those high velocity guns do amazing numbers of citadels to other light cruisers at this tier. The pretty good torps are a nice bonus too. I stay at range with the BBs and use it's maneuverability to kite away, dodge shots and use the 6 stern guns to rain HE on them.
I concur completely
This is precisely the spot where I "stalled out" my WoW career about 2 years ago. Grabbed the Omaha and thought all would be well in the world and I was suddenly thrust into these matches with significantly bigger ships. Became so frustrated I basically abandon my Cruiser tree and started focusing on my DD and BB trees. But, alas, those both stalled out as the life expectancy of a Walker DD is not long at all, and trying to play with a South Carolina was about as frustrating as the Omaha.
There is nothing quite like the sound of deleting an Omaha.
Oh, there is: Back when the Murmansk was the best cruiser at tier V, deleting her did feel even better! (Yeah, I know it is just a better Omaha, but still...)
man i havent played these games for years, but the laughter of jingles is priceless! keep it going jingles!
14:59 some nice hits against oh he's dead too. Nicely sums up what happened in this battle.
Jingles: "Don't show your broadside, or that's a paddlin!" Also Jingles: "Don't try to bow tank, either, or that's a paddlin!"
It was fun watching you do some review on ships, which you haven't done in such a while. Thanks Jingles
love the fact that deleted omaha's nick translates too "Hubert the Barn" as he made himself just as easy of a target
The World of Warships Cruiser Experience. Not just Tier 5.
"SIR, we've run out of armor plating for cruisers, what should we do?" "Well, we've got plenty of paper towels."
Every game becomes a bed-time-story told by your favorite uncle
when narrated by Sir Jingles.
Haven`t checked, but i assume the Queen has knighted this man long ago ...
He should have named this video Another One Bites the Dust 😆
Maybe " A kitten dies"
Some T5 cruisers also have a terrible concealment (Kirov, for example). That means that as soon as a new player get spotted, he is the first one of his team (even before friendly BBs) and way ahead of them because of the forward start position and faster speed. All set for taking a dev strike in 2 minutes.
Unfortunately i am right now grinding through some tier 5 cruisers like kotovsky and omaha, but I've been watching your wows videos for many years now only started playing 4 months ago , and knew tier 5 cruisers are really squishy, thanks to you i dont usually die in the early battle and end up being fairly influential in the battle. :)
Gotta agree, Tier 5 cruisers are a pain to play with out help with citadels exposed out like that.
@@adw3953 yep, even when i am kiting in my kotovsky, sometimes i get citadeled right through the stern by kongo, new york, pyotr velikiy etc etc, all those kinds of ships....
@@UrSneakyDad Yup, Learned my Lesson my self when I went full boardside in omaha a year ago when I joined
Jingles: Explains overmatching
Also Jingles: Shows match with no overmatching
There was at least one example of overmatching when the Konigsberg got devstruck through the nose by the protagonist. Also, the overmatch explanation is good because you wouldn't believe how many people with thousands of games don't remotely understand overmatch. Having said that, those potatoes aren't likely to learn anything even after hearing the explanation, I had one asshat named Jai Gray in Jingles comments a couple months ago insist 380s can overmatch 27mm bows and that the WeeGee site was wrong lol.
@@Dorkrust k
The light cruiser (CL) is a glass hull filled with gasoline and you should play it that way.
You can take out other cruisers head-to-head, but I recommend at the beginning of the battle to position to assist your DD against the enemy DD while protecting them from enemy CL. The objective to help your DD survive long enough to wipe out their DDs and possibly a CL to two. Then get back behind your BBs and assist them against enemy BBs.
Learn to shoot and hit things at max range. You can pop a BB two or three times with HE because of your firing rate advantage, then turn hard to avoid the return file and repeat. Broadside to shoot then turn to narrow your profile and pray. Burning a BB to the waterline is the only way to beat them one-on-one and a good fire or two helps your BB take them down. Spread it around and start as many fires on as many BBs as possible. You may even get a kill or two that way. I never shoot AP unless I have a fat CL sitting broadside asking for it, but HE will do almost as much damage and change time between AP and HE means I may miss one salvo. It's usually not worth it. Just spam HE and keep moving. If you stick around to finish a kill, be aware of what's coming. Target focus is the number one way to get it.
The main objective as a cruiser driver is to cause damage to create the tipping point where your DD or BB gets the kill and your team wins.
Remember that if you over-extend you're not fast enough to get out of trouble and you're not tanky enough to stand and fight. Torps are a lifesaver sometimes, but BBs have torpedo armor. Two to three hits are just going to piss them off, but damage is damage even in death. Go down swinging.
Should have titled this "Loading a Deadeye Captain in tier 5"
The "Tier 5 cruiser experience" is to be sunk by the Tier 3 St. Louis.
... yes, it's been a while since I've played.
You just described exactly my feelings Jingles. I started watching your videos when i was starting World of Warships. Got to Tier 5, got my Cruiser, and the fun began. At least for the other players. Because as an unexperienced player going into the first unprotected battles with a floating citadell is actually not that fun. Haven´t played WoW in a while and will most likely not come back, as it is just work to get to the next tier..
While it may not do much for surviveability I had a lot of fun the other day charging into cap bravo in a destroyer, along with at least 3 other destroyers. Smoke everywhere, torpedoes everywhere, point blank shots as enemy's appeared out of nowhere. By the time the smoke cleared there were 7 dead in cap bravo and none of the battleships even got a shot over the islands around bravo. It was glorious madness. The rest of the battle was nothing special.
i loved my Königsberg and had some truly epic battles once i figured out how to play it!
i use to simply support my battleships and HE spam everything, once they started getting
sick of the HE spam and started shooting at me i use to disengage and let the "meat sheilds"
take the heat then release hell once more!
She used to be a lot of fun, now with all the powercreep she is not that special anymore
Konigsberg is still one of my favorite T5 ships. Hawkins is fun too, kinda like St Louis/ Charleston with all those single gun mounts plus torpedoes. 😎
@@Fitzwalrus06 i liek Koningsberg, I hated Hawkins till I figured out she is amazing at bowtanking. I haven't set her up with any good captain though, so portqueen she is.
@@Tuning3434 I tend to run my CLs like big DDs.... run in quick guns blazing, dump torps and then hope to survive long enough to get back to cover. It even works... sometimes.
As Jingles says, "A short life but an exciting one." 😉
The good thing about this whole t5 cruiser stuff is that it kinda teaches you how to behave in cruisers later on; battleships are dangerous, don't give broadside, positioning is important etc. Not that it would help anything of course....
When it came out, I picked up the Exeter, mostly because it was built and served in the war. But she is a tad delicate. Now I know why.
I just started this game, and I’m grinding the American cruiser line right now. It’s so hard as a new payer to take your time and not try to rush in like Rambo. My first Pensacola game I saw it’s artillery numbers and thought “Hell yes, this thing is going to be awesome!” I lasted roughly 2 minutes. The paper armor was hard to get used to. But I’m getting there slowly, and this very quickly became my favorite game.
It also shows certain balancing issues with WoWs...
For a type of ship that is supposed to be this middle ground, cruisers are actually by far the most vulnerable - large enough to be easy to hit, outspotted by DDs, not fast and agile enough to effectively dodge in a long run, soft enough to be easily citadelled. And they have to keep shooting, because they rely on damage over time instead of alpha.
For all intents and purposes - destroyers are more survivable, despite tiny health pool.
Love that Emile
".....i don't like this"
2 minutes later "fucking ruuuuun"
Very eye opening video! Thankss Jingles
So, take away from this, IF you are in a tier 5 crusiser, hang back and survive from a distance? Perhaps guard the main base? Spot for other stronger ships, whilst concealed behind islands?
Gotcha ya. That info is going in the ol' memory bank in the noggin'
The Emile is my favourite tier V cruiser behind the Furutaka. That's because its one of the most trolly ships in the game. To summarize:
1: Extremely speedy boi, you WILL outrun same tier destroyers with your 40 knot top speed.
2: Extremely good manoeuvarability, you can dodge torpedoes very well
3: Hydro, combined with the above, the Emile is excellent at fighting DD's
4: Good main guns, fast turn rate, floaty but not American shells with fine HE, good range, only downside is the lackluster reload at 13-ish seconds
5: And here's the funniest, the Emile has so little armour (like the Friant and Dugauy) that you can rely on another mechanic besides overmatch: Overpen. The Emile is so squishy its too squishy for any tier V BB or higher (minus the Brits and their short fuze) to get citadels. Even the citadel has so little armour that it'll not arm most BB AP.
This means that the Emile is about the best cruiser at tier V for surviving against battleships. When at range the excellent mobility allows you to dodge most incoming shells (only Soviet and Italian railguns are really too fast to counter) while at point blank, given you show broadside, battleships just cannot citadel you (or even get full pens). All the while you can happily blast their superstructure with HE. Also, like any other tier V cruiser, Emile has torps (2X3 533) for those brown-pants point blank encounters.
Or to put it more simply: The Emile Bertin and its tier III and IV French brothers find themselves in the weird situation where showing broadside to a battleship at close range is life-saving, HE is more likely to citadel them then AP and they are some of the only ships in the game destroyers should be firing AP at for they can citadel them with ease. That's how little armour the early French cruisers have.
some dude in a t5 match recommended me this video when i got one shot deleted by a fuso now i know why. thanks stranger
And at the same time T5 cruiser play can be a blast, love sailing the mikoyan.
And that's why I treat all my cruisers like they're made of citadels and TNT and armoured with tin foil... :D
I mean...you're not wrong.
@@matthewbeale5083 Ikr, bowtanking's best left to BB's
I dont watch you much jingles but when I do I always have a good time and learn a thing or two.
*over penetration mechanic:*
if they only did that in WoT with armor value VS 'special' ammo pen.
It would still work on low VS high.
But high VS low would not delete everything they see.
My life is complete. Jingles knows about my state 💪🏼. Thanks for mentioning Nebraska
And some of us still fondly remember the times of pre nerf cleveland . .
That little monster was almost impossible to kill and had much fun lighting everything on fire from behind mountains.
I'm one of those newer players. A month ago I was working through the Emerald. I think it took 8 games (iirc) with 67%, to get through.
I got into the Leander and didn't like it, despite it driving better. Suffered through that and was looking forward to the Fiji, which many people say are great. It's terrible and suffered through that (with the help of xp flags) where I finally found a decent, albeit still fat and squishy, cruiser in the tier 8 Edinburgh.
I took my fresh ship immediately into ranked where I played it exclusively until I unlocked the Neptune.
People say that the Edinburgh is just an up tiered Fiji, but it's so much better than Fiji (and better than Neptune) because it gains access to the concealment mod which really helps increase survivability and stealth radar which really makes inexperienced DDs piss themselves.
I also have a tier 7 Southern Dragon (Myoko clone) that I must've won 3 years ago when I first dabbled with the game for a brief bit. That sumbich has a whopping 27% WR and dies faster than my RN CLs. I keep coming back to it as I gain game experience to see if I've improved and can make it do something. Nope, not yet.
My RN CL is the only line I have past tier 7,but I'd say I'm a DD main because whenever I don't play one, I need to be playing one (I get the DDs that pop smoke and sit in it spotting nothing, until they eat a torp, get radar'd, or the smoke expires and they're forced to scout again).
In ranked, the stealthy Edinburgh would often do double duty as a "DD" in the mid or late game of ranked when the actual DD were in spectator mode.
Cruisers don't seem much fun in the mid tiers. But, I'll be leveling a Budyonny in this ranked season...
Hot opinion here: I enjoyed the Omaha. she is slime and deceptively fast. her gun layout allows you to always keep a decent number on target regardless of maneuvering. just keep the enemy at arms length and shift that rudder. T5 BBs have bad dispersion, so use that against them. remember: If they connect, your dead. so dont let them connect any shells.
The reputation of the Furutaka comes from the time when it was the only cruiser with heavy guns at tier 5 and apart from the japanese line there were also no heavy gun cruisers until tier VII. So most of the time you were the cruiser with the heaviest guns in a battle, that paired with long range torpedoes made it a very potent enemy if you could resist giving big targets to battleships.
It is still a good ship, but the metagame has changes with all the fast firing HE spammers, in a one vs one fight they can easily out dpm you if RNG is not on your side and you get no citadels.
Everything Jingles has said about t5 cruisers, and in particular the Omaha, is perfectly true. Get squared up in the crosshairs of any heavy ship whose captain knows how to shoot, and you can very quickly find yourself a spectator.
That said.....
I nevertheless find the Omaha to be a fun and successful ship to take out in t5, and I have had many successful outings in higher tier contests. Very nice artillery with very tight dispersion and a fairly high rate of setting fires. With the gun layout of a broadside cruiser, she can't fire all her guns on either broadside like a superfiring ship can, but she can turn quickly and still get 8 guns on the broadside almost right away.
Decent AA, maneuverable and fast. Lots of [short range] torps for close-in threats. For sure BBs can kill me, but I've killed lots of them too.
The laugh makes the commentary so much better.
Best defense of a T5 Cruiser: an island.
2nd best defense of a T5 Cruiser: your rudder and some distance.
Emile Bertin was my most favourite shoot and scoot-Cruiser when I still played WOWs.
Omaha was one of my favorite cruiser back in the day, used to pull some dumb yolo double strikes with it's torpedos, sailing between two battleships, don't think I could pull that off now a days.
Tier V cruisers? One word , Emerald. My best game in that one was my last game in that one.
However I did really like the Marblehead, and can battle pretty good in that one, fun ship , lots of guns and toys too (first premi I ever got in a box) and I think I still got it.
tier 5 cruiser: casually exists
Water: slightly slaps it from the side
Tier 5 cruiser: get 10 citadels instantly and dies
2 mins fastest time yet lol but my day is 500 times better love watching jingles videos
The one single tier 5 cruiser that is extremely hard to explode (with ap, of course) is the Krasny Krym, which has unironically some of the best protection against ap at tier 5
I started out as a cruiser main and this citadel blap thing made me shift to viking funeral ships the BBs, then that made me shift to DD. Then I also started grinding CV and do unto others.
T5 crusiers: Nooooo! You can't simply overpen my armor and citadel me!!!!!
Everyone else: "Heh. 350mm AP go brrrrrrr."
This is why all cruisers below T9 should at least get 2 heals imo. Except something like Kutusow of course.
“Remember kids every time a Tier V cruiser tries to bow tank or rush into the enemy guns blazing, God kills a kitten”
-Jingles 2021
That had me rolling Sir. Lmao.
I'm a new player. A couple of weeks. You summed it up perfectly. I'm playing the Koenigs. A ship I'm learning to love :) That b*tch slap you get, into the nature of Wows at T 5 is real though! I lost count of how many times I've been blapped within 3 mins, but it's a valuable learning curve. You'll be pleased to know that I've stopped it! :D Last night, I gave my head a wobble, came to my senses, and knuckled down to cruiser mentality that you've been teaching us about for years... I was rewarded with 2 kills, nearly 70 k damage and a very salty opponent and God didn't kill any kittens :) Koenigs is a great ship for saving kittens, I've just been playing it wrong. Sorry to the precious kittens that were taken from us because of my dumb, thinking I'm a battleship,, ass :D
I remember hearing a BWANGGGG on my Konigsberg, and taking a minute to figure out what that was, because it was just so unfamiliar to hear in my beloved K'berg.
Of course, by the time I figured it out, I'd gotten killed.
7:40
Jingles: You're not big, you're not hard, you're not cleaver and you definitely can't tank anything...
Me: Don't believe everything the Ex says...
So tier 5 cruisers are basically baby seals, and everyone else is the club! Props to the Emil Bartan, he was dodging so many ships, he probably either didn't see 2fast4every1 or lost track of where he was and couldn't predict that he'd been fired upon before the shots came in and it was too late. Give them the benefit of the doubt, you can't dodge them all.
Well that shows how the game can change on long period of time. I started playing WOWS in it's beta state. I reached 4 tier V ships available back there (Omaha, Furutaka, New York and Minekaze). I went back to play last time and decided that I go full grind for some trees of cruisers (my choice was American, German and British one). Oh boy, I wish that I knew i'm choosing actually HARDEST type of vessels.
One of my early experiences in WoWS Legends is in the Texas. Tier 4 is equivalent to tier 5 there. My very first Salvo in one game was against an Omaha who was rushing to get behind an island. Six out of ten shells struck. Three were citadel hits.
Full health to sunk in one salvo and no detonation.
Hood *literally* giggles in matches with Tier 5 cruisers.
Damnit Jingles! That spittake @ 16:15 . :3
I got one shotted yesterday in my tier 10 Minatour machine gun, a minute into the match, at a 45 degree angle, from 20+km yesterday, and all I was doing, was rushing to the nearest island cover from the start of the match. Infuriated would be the polite word for my reaction. The dispersion from whichever BB it was, was so small I thought I must be playing Unreal Tournament.
Mine is a Krasny Krym. Call it the Krispy Creme, especially when it becomes cannon fodder.
And this right here is why so many cruisers at hightiers camp behind islands, because they are taught to do so the hard way.
Konigsberg taught me the value of kite-fighting. Best T5 cruiser in my opinion.
Jingles: *Says Tier V doesn't have the same protection in matchmaking like Tiers I-IV*
Me: *whose had to deal with fighting Tier VI tanks in a dinky Tier IV every other game* "Oh, on God?"
It is a good lesson for tier 10 where everything soon has 18+inch guns and overmatches you as well.
If you don't want to have a bad time in a Tier V Cruiser just play it in Co-Op. The A.I. can still one shot you, but at least you won't end up in a Jingles PSA.
As someone grinding through T5 right now, this video speaks to me on sooo many levels hahaha.
Problem with T5 cruisers, especially when fighting T6 or T7, is that their gunrange is usually pretty poor. You can try to remain behind, but you will have nothing to shoot at. Try to go toward a target, and you get shot to pieces long before you can fire back. I really hate being bottom tier .......
wow is that the actual Jingles port?! it's been years since we got to see the Jingles port!
@13:05 Omaha: "Ha ha! I have torpedoes! I've got him now!"
Yeah that looks like T5 game. I was going "Omaha what are you doing?!?" but to be fair to him.. not much he could do at that point in the game. Running back towards the Kongos just sort of prolong his agony. I didn't grind the US cruisers, but I was always gleeful at seeing Omaha in my Furious Tako or Kongo, because hell ya, that's citadels for me.
Like Jingles said, even the Furutaka is a glass ship in this tier, so it's a big learning lesson here at T5. Unfortunately, not everyone learnt the lessons properly...

Unless you are playing British light cruisers, it only gets better at tier 7.
I would consider Devonshire to be a pretty great improvement over Hawkins.
