It's a unique function of Soviet vehicles in WoT, that the larger the aiming reticle, the more Accuracy you can fit into it. I'm sure Circon once theorized the most efficient sniper in the Red Army was a Light Tank Commander with 50% training drafted into a KV-2 with no other crew remaining, manning a broken 152mm howitzer in a rotating turret, traveling at full speed.
Awhile ago I repented to God then begged for help, "I was until then an Atheist." I then had a dream of Jesus coming before God and he spoke of the Tabernacle in perfect context, "A word I didn't know existed.", and what I felt from Jesus when I held him was unlike anything I've ever felt before - A lifetime of Love every second - It brought me to sobbing and it changed my life, forever. I've had other experiences since, "Several witnessed", one was seeing a bright orb of light pass across my face in the dark, hours before a major surgery the second I gave up in my heart. Know that God and Jesus ARE real and that they Love us deeply. Let go of your hatred and Imagine yourself holding the people who've hurt you. Tell them you Love them. Always have hope, I believe that prayer, following God's laws & Love is the answer, and through that, becoming humble, merciful, welcoming, giving, and forgiving, To All.
This should be on a shirt by jingles, the gnome tank commander poking his head out of the commanders hatch shouting "Big gun go derp! Enemy tank go BOOM!"
Jackson was an absolute joy in the chat... "Mother of pearl!" "Sorry for the language" Amazing. Also love that you can see the exact moment Skyguy realized he could just... hit the brakes and kill the e25. That's using your head folks.
E-25: "A-ha! Got you now ya big fat Russian bugger!" KV-2: "WHO SENT THIS BABY TO FIGHT?!" *SLAMS on the brakes making burning tread marks* E-25: "AAAAAAA-" *KAPOOSH*
I remember a game in my ISU-122S where I was being chased by a Cromwell downhill and pulled the same maneuver; didn't kill him, but tracked him which allowed me to swing around and out-dpm him to death. I too sacrificed enough dissidents that day lol.
@@lawnmowerman6819 I learned, not even twenty minutes ago, that the Cromwell will track itself just going hard over a sand dune on the oasis map in blitz.... So I guess I am unchecked by this story lol.
there was comic strip with Tier 5 tanks complaining that MM into Tier VIII battle is unfair... and then there was KV smiling saying something like "Yep, unfair..."
Actually, Jingles... don't worry, I'm getting ready to go to the salt mines already, but the KV tank that held up the German advance for a day during the Battle of Raseiniai was probably a KV-1. Accounts vary, but research into Russian records suggests the most likely tank was a KV-1 from the nearby Soviet 4th Tank Regiment that had become immobilised. Yes, yes... I'm going to get my toothpick to extract the salt for the glorious gnome overlord's fish and chip supper.
When Jingles says about the cold hand of stalin breaking the surface to guide the shot, I can just imagine his hand popping up like a buried zombie hand coming up to the surface.
Yeah, between the KV-2 failing to hurt artillery somehow, and the shitbarn bouncing rounds off garbage tier tank destroyer armour sideshirts (Like the Jagdpanther and dickers), the nerfs got bad.
Like that scene in Top Secret with the exploding Pinto. The E25 DID slam on the brakes, but all it took was a tap because of how "physics" works in WoT. lol.
3:34 I believe Nicholas Moran has said that the Germans knew full-well the 88mm was good for AT work even before the Battle of France. I mean, why would they have AP ammo ready for that KV-2 if they didn't think it would be useful?
They discovered the 88mm's anti-tank prowess in the Spanish Civil War. They even put it on an armored halftrack in 1938. See the 8.8 cm Flak 18 (Sfl.) auf schwere Zugkraftwagen 12t (Sd.Kfz 8),
Watch what ya say about W.G. Jingles. They might say "Hold my beer" and they nerf high explosive so much that it does next to nothing in damage against heavy armor! GG, and thank you for the KV2 show!
On this same map, our scout being chased by an ELC down in the valley. Only thing missing was the Benny Hill theme music. Without stopping my KV-2, way out of render range, let a shot go with a stupid amount of lead... and it destroyed the ELC. Someday, when I'm much older and senile, I'll be retelling this like it was real life. "Okay Grandpa, Whatever you say, now take your pills."
THIS is the tank that got me into World of Tanks! Keep your Panzers, your Shermans, your Tigers and your IS's. To me, WoT was all about my 152mm harbinger of doom and BOOM! 😋 Those were the days...
The 8.8cm Flak 18 was first used against ground targets in the Spanish Civil War and later the Flak 36 was used against British Matilda I's in 1940 at Arras.
Haven't played WoT since 2018. The two vehicles I miss the most are the KV-2 and the SU-152. Just vaporizing an enemy that had full health was such a glorious feeling. Thank you for the video and the trip down memory lane, Jingles! 🙂
What a great time it was when you could drag some teammates into T10 Battles with their KV-2`s.... and your team WINS, because your KV-2`s killed T10 Heavys :D
Maybe the "historical accuracy" gang want to discuss the combat state of a crew in ANY tank hit with a 152 mm HE shell, irrespective of how thick a box they are in?
a bit of a late reply, but the other kv2 really didn't do much, skyguy was really the only kv2 that really put in effective fire. the other kv2 only done 354 damage in the entire game.
Actually Jingles, one of the biggest modifications to the KV series tanks did NOT involve adding more armor. In fact, it was the opposite, the KV-1S (it's in the game) had reduced side armor to save weight.
Awesome video as always, just couldn't help but notice the fit the panther took after overextending around the corner and dying. I hope they stayed in the game long enough to see how well their comment "kv2s lost the game" aged at 7:32
Jingles, Wehrmacht did know about the deficiencies of the tank's own guns - so they did ensure that the 88 mm kanone would have AP ammunition too ! And that was their doctrine in 1940 in France, the 88 mm was intended for all targets air or ground or sea.
Oh dear... it's been too long since a KV2 vid. As he's running down the hill followed be the E25 I'm yelling at the screen "Hit the brakes!!". E25 go splat... marvellous. :)
For the benefit of those who haven't seen the glorious TOG on this channel before we should perhaps point out this is in reference to a certain food-based skin for the Royal Navy's finest tank and not, for example, any sort of adult entertainment related insta-demonetisation video.
I had a hilarious moment on Redshire in the KV-2 a couple of weeks ago. We had just won the airship and was pushing through and a tank in the middle was spotted, I fired on the move at full speed while also turning the turred from D0 to D3/D4 at well over 400 meters while that tank was pulling back behind the hill, hit and one shotted him. I took a few more shots at range but without moving and hit every single in the battle and ended up with a tank sniper medal and a high caliber. Unfortunately for every one of those games you'll have dozens of games where you can't even hit the inside of the barn.
Hey Jingles, great video as always. Re: the famous 88. It was actually their experience in the Spanish Civil War that convinced the Germans it would be an effective anti-tank weapon. Hugh Thomas wrote an excellent general history of it and among other, more famous examples of the genre, a young British volunteer for the *Nationalists*, Peter Kemp, wrote a very good memoir called "Mine Were of Trouble" on his experiences. Have a good one!
I just started this video and just had to mention how much i enjoy Mr Jingles commentary about historical facts of tanks in game. Ah, off to watch now :D
The 75mm gun used in 1941 was a low-velocity 75mm. It had worse penetration than the 75mm on the Sherman and could penetrate 43mm of armor at 30 degree slope at 750M. They were later upgraded to a better, higher-velocity gun..
I remember unlocking the 105 on my Sherman just before the HE patch was released. Think I had all of two games of glorious Sherman derp before it got ruined. I'm still not sure if I'm saltier over that or them making the T18 into arty. That was another hilarious derp machine back in the day, made even better by the accusations of sealclubbing when I'd only recently unlocked it.
@The Mighty Jingles ... The "Not one step back" directive was issued at the start of the battle of Stalingrad (28 July 1942) by our friend Jospeh... Not at the starting days of op. Barbarossa
Still remember when I was new to WoT and didn't have the skill to shoot much but figured that I could track two tanks sat side by side with a KV-2, by shooting the ground between them. Took me a couple years to consistently get more assisted damage than when I was bottom tier in the KV and just smacked the lead tanks of an oncoming hoard for the big boys and arty to thwack them.
Thanks for video. Been an interesting few days since YT has been recommending 7+ year old videos from you and Flamu. Been an interesting contrast looking back. I thought I'd seen all your videos over the years.
I like to think that the KV-2 story was a real life example of a lemming train, with the German tanks finding a single KV-2 and looking at each other going "no, you go first" XD
I fail tooned my KV2 into a teir 9 game my first game in it, one spotted a doom turtle. Did 80% damage with my shot and then he burned to death. Way back when this game was still fun to play.
A couple of corrections to what was said about the KV-2: Firing the main cannon over a side wasn't enough to flip the tank. It was, however, enough to potentially damage or destroy the turret ring and make it impossible to rotate the turret. Firing the gun over a side could make the tank unstable enough to flip the vehicle if it were already in an unstable position such as being tilted sideways on a slope. The turret was so heavy that trying to rotate it while the vehicle was tilted could also damage the turret ring. KV-2 crews generally only worked the turret and gun when on a reasonably flat stretch of ground. KV-1 and -2 used a diesel engine with a gearbox from a caterpillar tractor, and the 50 tons of a KV-1 pushed the gearbox to its limits and made it unreliable. The KV-2 was 57 tons, and that meant that on a road, it only reached about 25.6 kmh / 15.9 mph. Off-road, it was more like 12 kmh / 7.5 mph flat-out. The fuel supply it carried could only take it 175 km / 110 miles under ideal driving conditions. Jingles was incorrect when he said that most German tanks had 20mm guns at the start of Operation Barbarossa. He probably meant to say that they had 3.7 cm AT guns. Only armored cars and light tanks like the PZKW II had the 2.0 cm. PZKW III and PZKW 38(t) started the war with 3.7 cm guns. The 38t was withdrawn from service later and the Panzer III was up-gunned and up-armored for a time, ending with a high-velocity 5.0 cm gun that could take on a KV. The chassis of both tanks were also field-modified to become tank destroyers that carried 7.5 cm guns (the Marder series), and after a time, they were purpose-built for the role. The PZKW III started the war with some of the hulls being used for the Sturmgeschutz III infantry support vehicle with a 7.5 cm low-velocity artillery gun. They were eventually fitted with a 7.5 cm AT gun. When the PZKW IIIs were dropped from front line service, many of the surviving ones were converted into StuGs and some were modified into vehicles like the 10.5 cm self-propelled artillery platform known as the Wespe.
It's a unique function of Soviet vehicles in WoT, that the larger the aiming reticle, the more Accuracy you can fit into it.
I'm sure Circon once theorized the most efficient sniper in the Red Army was a Light Tank Commander with 50% training drafted into a KV-2 with no other crew remaining, manning a broken 152mm howitzer in a rotating turret, traveling at full speed.

I fail tooned my KV2 into a teir 9 game my first game in it, one spotted a doom turtle. Did 80% damage with my shot and then he burned to death. Way back when this game was still fun to play.
Hello Mighty Jangles. The only high light of my day
A couple of corrections to what was said about the KV-2: Firing the main cannon over a side wasn't enough to flip the tank. It was, however, enough to potentially damage or destroy the turret ring and make it impossible to rotate the turret. Firing the gun over a side could make the tank unstable enough to flip the vehicle if it were already in an unstable position such as being tilted sideways on a slope. The turret was so heavy that trying to rotate it while the vehicle was tilted could also damage the turret ring. KV-2 crews generally only worked the turret and gun when on a reasonably flat stretch of ground.
KV-1 and -2 used a diesel engine with a gearbox from a caterpillar tractor, and the 50 tons of a KV-1 pushed the gearbox to its limits and made it unreliable. The KV-2 was 57 tons, and that meant that on a road, it only reached about 25.6 kmh / 15.9 mph. Off-road, it was more like 12 kmh / 7.5 mph flat-out. The fuel supply it carried could only take it 175 km / 110 miles under ideal driving conditions.
Jingles was incorrect when he said that most German tanks had 20mm guns at the start of Operation Barbarossa. He probably meant to say that they had 3.7 cm AT guns. Only armored cars and light tanks like the PZKW II had the 2.0 cm. PZKW III and PZKW 38(t) started the war with 3.7 cm guns.
The 38t was withdrawn from service later and the Panzer III was up-gunned and up-armored for a time, ending with a high-velocity 5.0 cm gun that could take on a KV. The chassis of both tanks were also field-modified to become tank destroyers that carried 7.5 cm guns (the Marder series), and after a time, they were purpose-built for the role.
The PZKW III started the war with some of the hulls being used for the Sturmgeschutz III infantry support vehicle with a 7.5 cm low-velocity artillery gun. They were eventually fitted with a 7.5 cm AT gun. When the PZKW IIIs were dropped from front line service, many of the surviving ones were converted into StuGs and some were modified into vehicles like the 10.5 cm self-propelled artillery platform known as the Wespe.
