the captain of the Graf Spee is a legend, a tragic legend. he ordered the scuttling, returned to monte video, signalled his actoins to hitler who had wanted him to run his ship and escape, lay down on the german flag and ended himself rather than live with the shame. he earned so much respect that the captains of the two british warships and the english ambassador came to his funeral to pay their respects. he had ignored hitlers orders and had put his men lives before the country, making sure they got of the ship safetly and ferried by ship to safe harbors. in effect he refused to make a suicide run just for hitlers propaganda.
To be fair there was genuine thought put in by Captain Langsdorff and his officers to possibly make a running retreat to a more friendly port if they were only to face Harwood’s Cruiser force which were waiting outside for them.
They thought it possible given the enemy’s own damage that the Spee could at least either out run or loose the cruisers if they left under the cover of night. Yet given the false flag reports that both HMS Renown and Ark Royal were rapidly approaching alongside Langsorff not being given the necessary time to properly repair his ship to make it sea worthy in concordance to article 14 of the Hague Convention (“A belligerent war-ship may not prolong its stay in a neutral port beyond the permissible time except on account of damage.") he was running out of options. It didn’t help him either that both the British representatives and the Uruguayan government were also pushing articles 12 (“A belligerent war-ships are not permitted to remain in the ports, roadsteads or territorial waters of the said Power for more than twenty-four hours.") and 16 (“A belligerent war-ship may not leave a neutral port or roadstead until twenty-four hours after the departure of a merchant ship flying the flag of its adversary.") that Langsorff had vertically no other options left besides either one final battle he believed he had no chance of winning or to scuttle his ship.
And of course, he chose the latter; saving his crew.
He actually wasn't capable of making a run for it the ship was too damaged to make it back to Germany. Her oil purification plant, which was required to prepare the diesel fuel for the engines, was destroyed and her desalination plant and galley were also destroyed, which would have meant no fresh water could have been made (for engines or crew) and her galley was destroyed (so difficult to make hot food for a whole crew) A hit in the bow would also have negatively affected her seaworthiness in the heavy seas of the North Atlantic during winter. She couldn't be repaired in Montivideo due to the time restrictions. Actually this was an error by Langsdorf - if he had gone to the nearby port in Argentina rthar than Montivideo he would have received a much more pro-german welcome and the British would have had much less cooperation from the local authorities. It's quite likely he would actually have been defeated if he had put to sea too - Cumberland Ajax and Achilles would have been unlikely to do it alone (although Graf Spree only had ammunition for 20 minutes firing) but they could have shaddowed her and enabled Force H (Ark Royal, Renown etc.) to have intercepted her on the way back to Germany, not guaranteed but likely. This actually validated the RN's build strategy pre war of building lots of relatively light curisers (to stay within treaty limits) that could do some damage to surface raiders but also mainly just shadow them and call in heavier units. The problem with the "surface raider" concept is that you don't need to do much damage to a warship to make it incapable of long ocean voyages so it needs to be able to runaway from anything that it encounters, Langsdorff could actually have atempted to do this but the curisers were so aggressive when they encountered him that he believed they were deliberately trying to drive him into a larger force and so was trying to fight through them to escape the other side - this belief only being reinforced by the british intellignece campaign to convince him there were larger ships waiting for him outside the River Plate as well as the false signals Ajax and Achilles made smoke whilst sailing just over the horizon so it could be seen from ashore.
@@liamc9998 a true captain.
@@tomriley5790 That's not what liamc9998 wrote, which is: "make a running retreat to a more friendly port" (to conduct more extensive repairs) which does mean Germany _per se_ 🙄
There were surprisngly few casualties on boths sides during his voyage as well.
I still love it how Jingles pokes fun at the Dunker-que's spelling, but totally won't admit the same for the name "Worcester"
To be fair, the thing is a few syllables off a popular cooking sauce, and I'd rather not get into the verbal spaghetti that results. I doubt Jingles wants to get into the weeds on that one either.
What's to admit?
@@petermgruhn It looks like it should be pronounced "Were-Sess-Ter" when it's actually pronounced "Woo-Ster."
As Ian on Forgotten Weapons said, "the French copy nobody, and nobody copies the french" 👍🏻
A good display of that is French inter-war bomber design.
I was coming here to post that quote and am glad someone beat me to it. Even when the French use a pre-existing cartridge, the 5.56mm, they did so in a way where their rifle can only reliably feed French made ammunition as seen in the Famas. Because they wanted to support their own arms industry and also because they're French!
Gotta love gun Jesus 😂
Except that's not really true. The French are willing to copy ideas from other people. And other people have copied good ideas from the French. After all a good idea is a good idea, no matter where it comes from. The french used/copied the Berdan primer and adopted the metallic cartridge concepts developed in the US and Britain for the the 11mm Gras 1874 rifle. And everyone copied the French when they introduced smokeless powder for the 8mm Lebel in 1886. Its more a matter of not every one agrees with the French about what constitutes a good idea.
Sounds like something a self- imagined 17yo edgelord without any relevant knowledge in military or history of technology would claim
Actually Jingles the Deutschland was renamed to the Lützow in 1940. She was bombed and sunk by the RAF, raised by the Soviets in 1947 and sunk as target practice. So the headline would've been "Germany bombed, sunk raised by the Russians, only to be sunk again."
(This is the edited version, thank you all who replied who corrected me, mixed up Lützow and Admiral Scheer, whoops...)
There was also another hipper class named lutsow. She was never finished and sold to the ussr, she was renamed Tallin but never finished
Sorry dude - but wrong. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_cruiser_Deutschland - Lutzow (ex Deutschland) was sunk by the Russians in the Baltic in 1947 after being used as a gunnery target.
ps. It was her sistership Admiral Scheer that was buried. ;-) 😇
And another ACTUALLY JINGLES! the Lutzow was sunk using 12,000 grand-slam bombs and one which missed failed to detonate. it was found a few years back and the German Bomb disposal had the pleasure of blowing it up. It's available to watch on u-tube.
@@lunsmann actually he's correct, after the RAF sank her she was used as a stationary gun battery to the end of the war, then raised by the Russians and sunk again as a gunnery target.
Dear Jingles, someone who pronounces Worcestershire the way you and your compatriots pronounce it has no business telling the French how to pronounce Dunkerque. Sincerely, a Dane (from the country of the illustrious city of Middelfart).
Actually, Dunkerque is a Flemish name: the church of the dunes.
I was about to type the same thing, haha. And I'm French :p
Tushie ... Or touché
My sides are currently in orbit LMFAO
Isn't that pronounced as wash your sister?
That is some of the best positioning I've ever seen a BB do in such conditions. Kudos to Rex.
Yes! The positioning! Underrated comment!
I do like the film rendition of the Battle of the River plate ( except for the Graf Spee ....... ). The best bit, IMHO, is set up nicely before the battle starts when Commodore Harwood asks Captain Bell ( HMS Exeter ) for a list of spare parts he needs during the meeting of captains on board the HMS Ajax.
After the battle , when the Exeter has no guns left, no Bridge, is on fire/smoking and virtually sinking - Harwood sends the signal "Can you make the Falklands ?" to the Exeter.
The reply is very British.
"Can make Portsmouth is ordered to"
and then
"Request permission to revise list of spares"
LMAO
Actually Jingles, at 9:00 that cartridge was in fact the 7.62x39 (not the 7.62x54R, which was the full battle rifle cartridge used in the Mosin Nagant), used by the famous AK-47 and AK-M, inspired by the German Stg 44 (also called MP-43 and '44).
Also, NATO was told to use the 7.62x51 or .308 Winchester, used for big game here in the States.
Only fires 100 feet per second slower than a 30-06 but uses a short action instead of a long action so its a bit faster to reload in a bolt action rifle.
The AK family is more based on American M1 Garand using the same action.
Inspired? Nah... H. Scmeisser was taken by the soviets (including the entire family of his) in their version of Op. Paperclip, then in the USSR worked with Kalashnikov.
It was the americans who basically copied that rifle. Look at the insides of the M4/M16 and then do the same with a StG 44.
Also AK is longstroke gas operated, while both the M4 and StG is short stroke gas operated.
@@FazekasPK Except the M4 is actually using a direct gas impingement system. Only some variants like the HK416 use a short-strike gas piston and that was a clone of the version on the American AR-18. The M16 actually was based on the AR-10 and M1941 Johnson rifles.
@@emberfist8347 LOL. Sure dude. The intermediate round, the detachable box magazine, even the general appearance, all Garand! 😂
Actually Jingles, you were nearly right.
One ship of the Deutschland Class was named Deutschland and renamed in 1940, but she was named Lützow and not the Graf Spee.
While the Graf Spee is the most famous of the 3 ships, the Deutschland/Lützow was the leadship.
Trying to deny allied press teh propagande by sinkinf Deutschland there was also another reason for naming her Lützow. The original Lützow was a cruiser of the Hipper class, who was sold unfinished to the Sovietunion. Admirality hoped to disguise the sale by having a Lützow still on their navy roster.
The French also pioneered helicopter warfare. Helicopters were used to a limited extent in Korea, but the French recognized their value quite quickly in the late 1950s after Indochina as gunships and transports to quickly drop troops into key terrain. They were using US helicopters like the H-34 and the H-21.
"HMS IOWA"????? Angry freedom noises*
Just start replacing HMS with MN in front of British ship's names, like say MN Dreadaughte. Bonus points if you can turn the name into a joke name like MN Fifi Le Fume, MN Dickherass, MN Repulsive, or MN Hoerion. After all, turnabout is fair play. 😉
Ssssh! Nobody tell the old man they lost!
@@jkirschyMN?
@@jonathanflugge3557 Marine National. Basically means it is a French navy ship. HMS Repulse becomes MN Repulsive. HMS Fiji becomes MN Fifi Le Fume. HMS Icarus becomes MN Dickherass. Etc... Because Jingles loves the French navy so very much...
@@jkirschy 👍 gotya.
As a french guy, please keep talking french, it's funny !
(and stop driving on the wrong side of the road, rosbif!
As a french guy.... maybe you can explain why the French just voted for Le Pen's ultra right fascist party??
There was a minor uproar when USS America was turned into an artificial reef from a sink ex.
We should all take a moment to marvel at the sheer brilliance of the title. 😂😂
Yes indeed 👏👏👏👏👏
when trashtalking the frensh, i always think of sir Rowan Atkinsons liveshow where he is the devil(Toby) and introducing new guests to hell..murderers,layers,fornitacors and the frensh
But, Gnome Lord, Alsace *does* have a rear turret.....err, Jingles, put the shotgun down....
Isn't the Alsace Italian? Jingles pronounced it Alsachie.
@@charliedontsurf334 It should be pronounced Elsaß. :P
@@Schnittertm1 Wunderbar!
Lol. Jingles is being Jingles. Don't ever change bc we love ya ❤
9:00 ACTUALLY, Jingles, that would be the 7.62x39mm, not the 54mm rimmed that was in service with the Mosin-Nagant and the Maxim.
Yeah, you know, the intermediate cartridge, as opposed to the full size one. (Facepalms) 'These damn brainless gnomes.'
Also, the interesting intermediate cartridges the Europeans developed were .264 and .277, not .223.
Loving my alsace. On the grind
Jingles decided to be a true Englishman today lampooning French and "their ways" back to back. Never a dull moment.
always fall back to your ignorance when unsure. It's the British way.
The Deutschland Class were called "pocket battleships" by the british press but they weren't battleships - basically just overgunned heavy crusiers with large guns on a 10,000 ton cruiser hull. They were germany's early atempt to get around the treaty restrictions that had been put on them after ww1
Yeah, Jingles is tired of trying to classify pocket battleships and large cruisers and the Dunkerque class, plus he knows that folks like you get wound up when he gets it wrong
Clearly the French pronunciation would be "Honhonhon baguette".
Oui Oui mon ami, oui baguette escargot muhahah.
Your thinking panzershiff deutchland being renamed to lutzow after the battle of river plate
A classic Jingles moment :P
Lützow, not Lutzow
Deutschland, not Deutchland
@@Harte74 - Lutzow is correct on a USA qwerty keyboard. We don't have an umlaut on hand to insert in the proper place. My user name should have an umlaut on the u, but doesn't for the same reason.
@@Harte74 renamed "wreck" later....
@@lunsmann usually in Germany when we don't have the possibility for Umlauts we use an e after the vowel, so Lützow becomes Luetzow, your username would be luensmann then
Deutschland was built had an uneventful first voyage before returning to port and being renamed Lutzow and the class were redesignated as Heavy Cruisers from Panzerschiffe.
Keep on being you Jingles, and by the way I love those Big City Little Kitty videos.
See this is why I think the japanese naming their superbattleship Yamato was just the final nail in the coffin for that thing. You can never allow it to be sunk, and it now has a giant target painted on it for both practical, and propaganda reasons.
I wonder if any navy ever tried to name a warship Expendable ? Justement to see the results.
@@giroromek8423 The USS Only-Gays-Sink-This-Boat
The final nail wasn't the Yamato, it was the cancellation of the USS United States
With that title, I was expecting this video to feature at least one Brest.
KMS Deutschland was renamed to Lützow.
I had a round where I got 5 citadels and 63,000 damage in one volley with Georgia. Couldn't believe it.
Because of Captain Langsdorff decision I am alive today, maybe the Graf Spee could have outrun the Brits and get away, but in the end they would have been sunk another time. The crew including my Grandfather owes him their lives.
As mentioned elsewhere, it was the 7.62 x 39 cartridge that's the intermediate. 7.62 x 54R(immed) was from the 1890s I think? Used in the machine guns of the time, the Moisin Nagant rifle and still used today in the SVD. IIRC The other bit not mentioned was not only was the intermediate cartridge under consideration, it was the Enfield .280 and we were planning on using the EM2 chambered in it. The FAL was agreed upon as a common rifle as a compromise, then the 7.52 x 51 cartridge then the USA went with the M14 anyway before finding out it wasn't fit for purpose and going to the M16 in 5.56 instead. I may have misremembered some bits, hell I sometimes can't remember what I had to eat 3 hours ago!
When they announced the French ships I was really hoping they would have put in the compartmentalised turrets so you technically got 4 turrets the way they were actually set up on the Dunkerque and Richelieu classes.
AK-47 fires a 7.62X39 round. The Moisen Nagant bolt action rifle uses the 7.62x54R cartridge.
Oh damn I didn't know Roasted France was on the menu today we are feasting today!
I know, Jingles poking the french every time he has a chance to is a tale as old as time, but it will never not be funny 😂
Funny match, mrjrex101 has a tendency to underlead his shots, but he smacked some nice juicy cruiser boardsides.
"...i hope you all enjoyed watching him suffer." how delightully 'Jinglish'!
7.62x54 was the Mosin Nagant, which was the main battle rifle the Russians used in ww2. The AK47 is 7.62x39.
As a rifleman back in the early 70s, I signed my discharge papers when the changed from the 7.62 SLR to the 5.56 M16. Terrible rifle, a rabbit shooter.
Phenomenal game Rex, and amazing video as always Jingles!
"Whatever mate. You help yourself". 😂😂
The ships of the class, Deutschland, Admiral Scheer, and Admiral Graf Spee, built between 1929 and 1932
Well played and a showcase for the ship. Excellent effort.
Jingles, with the legendary upgrade the Republique's main battery guns have a reload of just 20 seconds (at the cost of some range). This has caused Stats to call the ship his favorite "cruiser killer"
I am a simple man - I see a Jingles WoWs video, I click play and I click like, one right after the other...
No piont in waiting after the video, I know it will be good. 🥰
Jingles, the US adopted the 7.62mm NATO cartridge in 1953 after WW2, forcing the UK to drop the 7mm Enfield (.280 caliber). It was an intermediate cartridge based off the .30 Savage cartridge.
The AK-47 fires the rimless 7.62x39mm M43 Soviet cartridge, not the rimmed 7.62x54mm M91 Russian rifle cartridge.
The 5.56mm NATO wasn't popular with the US Army Ordnance Department, who tried to scuttle its adoption. The M16 was assigned to the US Air Force and Army light infantry units and was the standard service rifle in Vietnam beginning in 1965. US forces in Europe and the continental United States used the M14 until 1970. NATO didn't consider adopting it until the mid-1970s, leading to the heavier FN SS109 SAP cartridge. Most European nations adopted 5.56mm rifles rather late. Britain rechambered the Enfield SA80 for it.
The Deutschland class was named after the large cruiser/pocket battleship that was named Deutschland, commissioned in the early 30s. Her name was changed to Lutzow in 1940 because of propaganda reasons
Great video as always!
"The extremely common: dead Neptune." Yeah, grinding through that ship to the Minotaur was a chore.
Love the history stuff jingles, its wonderful.
jangles got his history lesson wrong twice today...
He should concentrate on World of Warships ship details instead of constantly making himself a fool with "historylessons" and "language lessons".
For all your 'I've never seen anybody get ten kills in a match before', I still recall at least two videos where someone does, because I remember it bringing up the thought that you absoltuely deserve to earn two Kraken Unleashed medals, but it doesn't give you them.
My Grandfather served on the Deutschland. I had a model kit of it which sadly got lost when I moved.
... so you are proud that your grandfather have served nazis ?
Jingles taking any chance to take the piss out of the French is always fun to listen to lmao
Back when I still played WoWS, I used to call the Neptune the 'Splodeboat, because every time I would see one, it would soon after 'splode.
The 7.62 NATO standard thing is even funnier when you consider that 7.62 NATO is practically the same as 7.5 French cartridge, which the French developed alongside their own semi-auto battle rifle that had been in development since the interwar period. So the French (reasonably imo) stuck with their Mas 49 type rifle in 7.5Fr for the looongest time while everyone else went with 7.62 NATO... only the Americans insisted on not adopting the FN FAL and instead adopting the M14. Which was just a full auto detachable magazine Garand. Even though the Italians had already done a better version of that with the BM59.
And the cherry on top was for the US to finally realize the M14 was poorly implemented and obsolete even before adoption... but only after a years-long temper tantrum by the Army ordnance department.
Post world war 2 Britain developed the EM2 .280 rifle that was going to be the standard NATO caliber, but the US killed it (Suspicously IMHO) by insisting on 7.62mm before discovering in Vietnam that that was too big. The EM2 looks very much like the SA80 that later arrived (but probably better built!) it survives today as the rifle held by the british green plastic soldiers as it was due to be adopted when they were developed.
@@tomriley5790 Yep. And that would have been fine. 7mm-ish bullets are objectively better than .30s in almost every way. They wanted to make the Garand in 276 Pederson back when it was being adopted in the early 30s but MacArthur overruled it purely for logistics reasons.
Choosing to stick with a .30 when you're designing a new cartridge anyways made no sense.
This is a nice change from the Flambass videos.
Where, regardless of the team size differences, we all know who is going to win...
It was Lutzow, formerly the KMS Deutschland. But great story of Graf Spee, never change Jingles, we love you how you are!
Sadly, this video just represented 99% of the playerbase in 2024.
Wich the Yoshino player so ample proved. Why are they all so obsessed with their torps, that you always spot long before they reach your ship, when it has somewhat decent guns.
"You can't sink us because we sank ourselves." made me think of the pirates in Asterix. At one point they scuttled their own ship simply at the sight of the Gauls on an approaching vessel.
The Japanese named their biggest ship Yamato which is the name of the clan/kingdom that formed Japan around 300 AD or so. Might be one of the reasons why she was also known as "Hotel Yamato" as she spent much of her service life in harbour.
Also it has 18.1" guns.
Drachinifel has some good videos on French battleships. Or "floating hotels".
It was named after the ancient Yamato province.
The 7.62x54mmR was for the Mosin-Nagant 1891 rifle. The AK was built around the 7.62x39mm cartridge.
I was bored until my phone notified me of a Jingles WoW upload. Best day ever!
"The French like to do things differently" says the people driving on the wrong side of the road.. 😅
You mean the side of the road EVERYONE used, EVEN the French, until Napoleon forced them all to drive the side HE wanted after they were conquered. You are the ones driving on the conquered side of the road. The unconquered (and free from that Corsican prirates influence) drive on the correct side of the road, the left. 🙂
I love this Jingles guy hope he never changes... lol
Looking at the gameplay, to be honest, if the enemy didn't show constant broadsides and he didn't do as much dmg his team could have called him out for being a BB camping in no mans land. Well, even with his damage they could do it honestly.
Don't think it was winable overall but you could have used your armor and HP early on for the team. He was basically on full HP with no allied ships left - which tells you alot about the team and his positioning
As all of it's team is ripped appart in less than 8 min, that's not him camping but his teamates throwing their ships away in crossfires or being shot at by multiple ships at the same time. Being in the 6/7 lane all the game is not camping and he got a perfect line to cover middle and provide crossfire on the other side of the map.
The false comms was only part of Admiral Langsdorff decision to scuttle his ship. He had 2 other problems, his ship fuel refining system was destroyed meaning he only only had about 15 hours fuel on board making impossible for him to escape, and secondly he had expended most of his main battery ammunition.
Had the Germans come out to fight all the British need to have done was stay out of range (which the HMS Ajax and HMS Achilles were faster) and radio her position to other assets like the heavy cruiser HMS Cumberland that was on its way at full speed. By scuttling his ship Langsdorff spared his crews life.
Nothing says it’s going to be a good day more than watching a jingles video on my daily commute 😁
Don't forget the submarines get a higher multiplier for EXP if memory serves. meaning, They have to work significantly less to get huge exp gains compared to surface ships. Well done WG. fair and balanced indeed. /s
The "Panzerschift" Deuchland was renamed Lützow. She was a sister ship of the other two in the class, the Admiral Scheer and the Admiral Graff Spee. The last one ended his days in South América, like the man for who was named, the commander of a squadron of the "Hochseeflotte" (High Seas Fleet) of the "Kaiserliche Marine" (Imperial German Navy) in the Great War.
Finally, my own actually Jingles moment. The AK wasn’t 7.62x54. That was the Mosin and a handful of other weapons like PKM, but the AK was 7.62x39.
Good morning Gnome Overlord. We eat freedom fries in this house, and freedom kiss.
HMS Iowa? I knew the Royal Navy wants the Iowas…but you can’t have them yet.
7.62x54r was used in the moist nugget, svd and pkm. What you mean is 7.62x39 that was used in the AK
The AK-47 was/is chambered in 7.62x39, not 7.62x54. the bigger 54r cartridge is the iconic artillery round from Mosin-Nagant fame. The NATO round is 7.62x51 (.308 Remmington).
The title made me laugh more than it should have! Thanks Jingles
1:31 The lead ship Deutschland was laid down in 1929 and christened in 1931 by German Chancellor Brüning, quite a bit before the Austrian PFC had any say in her naming. It was renamed to Lützow in 1940 because said Austrian PFC had the vapours or something. The whole class was proposed, designed and the first two ships, Detschland and the Admiral Scheer, where laid down and named before Jan 30 1933.
Well actually Jingles (finally I get to say it!), you posted a video a couple years ago of a Massachusetts with 10kills. I think (not 100% sure) the title was "Show Off?" - - or something like it.
Jingles just remember that the champagne is the only other french battleship at tier 8 with 406 mm guns and they out preform many other 406s mounted on other ships
Jingles insulting his French audience will never get old.
With a string of onions and a giant baguette? 😂
Well done Rex that was a cracking game. gg.
"Actshually Jingles" the Deutschland were built during the Weirmar republic and were named Deutschland, Admiral Scheer, and Admirial Graf Spee. After the Graf Spee was scuttled at the River Plate the Deutschland was renamed to Lutzow.
For anyone why the reload was so short while not having the usual 26km reach: this crazy man uses the legendary module available for 19200 research points that gives you 12% less reload time with the downside of-18% main battery reach
Dunkerque aside, I'm shocked that Jingles hasn't adopted the "wash-your-sister" pronunciation for Worcester.
Deutschland, Graf Spee and Admiral Scheer were the three ships as launched. Deutchland was renamed Lutzow in 1940 after almost 10 years as Deutschland.
I didn't know the Republique's smoke stack could turn. cool.
Before the outbreak of World War II, Deutschland and Admiral Graf Spee were deployed to the Atlantic to put them in position to attack Allied merchant traffic once war was declared. Admiral Scheer remained in port for periodic maintenance. Deutschland was not particularly successful on her raiding sortie, during which she sank or captured three ships. She then returned to Germany, where she was renamed Lützow.
As others have commented before, Jingle's rifle history is a little off. It was the USA which insisted that NATO stick with a 'battle-rifle' cartridge as its members transitioned from bolt actions to semi-and full-auto rifles. Keep in mind, too, that such a cartridge is also well suited to light and general purpose machine guns- simplifying ammunition logistics. Many nations were looking at less-powerful cartridges in the 5.56mm to 7.62mm calibers (famously the Soviets adopted the 7.62x39 cartridge for their SKS and AK service rifles, this cartridge having about half the power of the 7.62x54R Mosin-Nagant cartridge it replaced in rifles, but was retained for LMG and GPMG use). The Americans did, however, give up their .30-'06 cartridge in favor of standardizing on the 7.62x51 (NATO) cartridge which was smaller but almost equalled the '06 cartridge ballistically. The Americans adopted the M-14 rifle initially to use the new cartridge before deciding about 10 years later in 1963 that the new, moderate-power 5.56mm cartridge in the new M-16 assault was the better choice for most infantry (the M-14 while being relegated to secondary status has never left the American Army service). The British FAL and German G3 were retained until the 1980's when an updated 5.56NATO round was adopted with new rifle designs to use them. The 7.62 NATO round remains a common GPMG cartridge among NATO forces, however.
I believe the saying is: "the French copy no one, and no one copy the French".
Well, there is a story that pertains to the naming of the Franks coming from an old germanic word for javelin. A weapon they most likely used because the pilum (Roman spear) that was readily available to them was just too ordinary...
hell of a great game way to go down swinging my dude!! made them earn it!
Hey there Aurorik! Good to see you here! You had a very good, if weird game that the gnome uberlord featured in his latest WoT replay video!
Actually Jingles, i'm here to enjoy you smashing great English humour and the English accent 😅😅 you put a smile on my face every single time a watch you're video's.
The french BB are a handful but I love there gameplay. Difficult to master, awarding in killing 😂 if RnD doesn't kill it 😅😅
Actually Jingles, the lead ship of the Deutschland class (not battleships but more akin to battlecruisers) was, well, the Deutschland, which was renamed to Lutzow. Graf Spee was a different member of the same class.
The Deutschland was renamed Lützow, because the original Lützow (an Admiral Hipper-class cruiser) was sold to the soviets, who renamed it first Petropavlovsk, then Tallinn.
"The Neptune knows what he did"
Oh. The Neptune is a flower pot...
The US developed the 7.62 X 51 after WW2 to replace the 30-06. The 30-06 continued into the Korean conflict with the M1919 Browning and the M1 Garand only because the development of the M14 got mired in red tape and budget issues. The Lee Enfield in .303 and the Russian 7.62x 54 continued for some time as well. Both those cartridges were rimmed, so their time was coming to an end as well.
aw, he didn't say "French ship" in that way that sounds like "friendship" this time...
That Neptune ... "This ... is an EX-Neptune!"
The ricochet at 10:11 is pretty cool!
For once Jingles you got your facts wrong. The Kgm Deutschland was a sister ship of the Graf Spee. It was the lead ship of the class.
Indeed Hitler had the name changed because of his fears of having a ship with the country name sunk and the shame that would have resulted. The new name given was the Kgm Lützow. It survived WW2 and turned over to the Soviet Union who ended up letting rot for years later on. Real sad story
I been playing online with a French friend almost everyday for the last 7 years and every single day from day one i make jokes about France, the french army and the frenchies in general...he takes them like a pro 🤣
not enough for a win but damn that was exciting. Thanks Jingles 👍
