Toza Peloda LOL yeah When that happens, I be like "OHHHHHHHHHHH NO YOU DIDN'T" At that point, after I bounce his shot, I let my platoonmates finish him
My Favourite tank in the game along with the Comet. It's so Fun! A bit OP but only if you now how to play it. Also, it is damn beautiful. Ahhh, I love the Hellcat
it's not *a bit* OP. It's definitely OP. All you need to do better in the hellcat than in your other tanks is over 46.5% global WR: ivanerr.ru/lt/images/liz/hellcat.png
Jukelo Well, it's OP then. But... It' doesn't feel like it. I mean it is great and above average but it dies so quick and has low health, slow turret.... I still think that you have to be better to do well in a hellcat than in a KV-1S. You can't just charge forward and derp people in the face, nor can you play it like a medium tank... well, you can but as I said earlier it has that slow turret traverse and that low armor with low hp...
Nice tip about the unfair fighting, but I allways am the one to get into that spot where I'm outnumbered, and sometimes I can manage to pull it off, rolling away as the winner
happened to me that i was in my KV-1 tier 5 match and i saw about 5 enemy tanks against me, no large threats, all 1-shots.i lost barely some HP and killed them all on cliff (i think its the cliff, most heavies go to Town, and there is a hill on the left flank, and in the middle a large lake and a really thin pass with a steep cliff diving right into the lake, left and middle separated by a large mountain) and i was alone, and i was protecting that flank while my teammates push town. but i was not fast enough for a topgun, because the guys against me knew that if they turn i will pop out and shoot, and there were a couple of enemy tanks left on the other flank when enemy lost town, and i still had 2 targets to kill on my flank. by the time i killed these 2 there was artillery hiding, he was not a scumbag. and when i rolled over the small hill and started moving down, my poor russian elevation didn't let me get the kill. still, 5 kills is amazing.
Jingles don't make it too hard for you to say Luchs, it is effectively Lux or similar to the english "looks" it's spoken that way in German, the "chs" combo at the end of any word in German equals "x" or "ks" sound. same with Wachs = wax, Dachs = dax (badger) ... but points for effort pronouncing the "ch" sound without throwing up. i know it's hard for non natives :D
Ex Angel When you say fibre optic in the UK, we are talking about FTTN (fiber to the node) or FTTC (the street cabinet) rather than fibre-optic to the home (FTTH), BT wasted millions of pounds of tax payers money giving us an inferior broadband connection to the rest of the civilised world; they have been handed a damned monopoly. Even places like the Netherlands have far superior internet connections than us, the "communications hub" of Europe.
I once killed a camper hellcat, that had been camping the base he whole game, and gotten six kills, but when I showed up in my scout M7, the guy kept pointing his gun at the corner I had been behind like...5 seconds, and only then started turning his turret. Luckily, I knocked his gun out, and he raged when I killed him! Trolled him to death :P Hahaha
waga100 is from Australia as he is in GOD_Z clan. That must explain his horrible ping, just like me in South Australia; I get 200-300ms pretty much all time.
Rule 1. Pillage, then burn. Rule 6. If violence wasn’t your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it. Rule 12. A soft answer turneth away wrath.

In my opinion, I think the Hellcat is over powered. I don't know by how much it's over powered. Whether by a notch or a smidgen but, it's over powered. It's strengths outweigh its weaknesses by a lot. And by the fact that its easily and often killed by new drivers doesn't mean its balanced when its performance is much more impactful on the field when driven by a good player in comparison to other tanks also being driven by equally skilled players. It sucks when the average amount of Hellcats I go up against in every match is like two or three. Sure, they die easily when they have a horrible team to work with. But sweet jeebus, they're super crazy dangerous when they have a decent team with half a brain supporting them. Its the one tank in that tier bracket that I see consistently always go on crazy killing streaks.
Hellcat is such a great machine, kinda disliked it because got so much in love with the t49 until i made the first Radley's on it. :P Thanks for the video.
You disliked it because you loved the T49? How does that make sense? Seems like WOT would be pretty one sided for you, if you dislike all but one tank at the time.
Bakkendk It makes sense because people become attached to what they are used to. She was used to driving a T 49, which, to be honest, is a fantastic little machine for its tier. It wasn't until she gained experience with the hellcat that she realized that it was also an amazing TD in its own right. Possibly what she's saying is, maybe she didn't want to give up the T49 to transfer the crew to the hellcat (or sell it to make room for it in her garage). As a complete aside, I love your twitch live stream Rita. You should invite Jingles as a guest more often!!
Dear Jingles, Field Commander Damion Rayne from the Angry Army here, our offer to have you on our live stream is still up. We'd very much love to have you on as a guest for War Thunder. If you can, please contact me via the AJSA Forums. angryjoeshow.com/ajsa/index www.twitch.tv/ajsagaming
This is interesting, I didn't knew that AJSA community is interested in War Thunder. I somehow feel that you have better chance to get Mr. Jingles in Wot, as WT is fun to watch, but hey.. (sorry if you reading this) he is not as good in WT as in Wot. Best luck anyway :). P.S Raseinia medal... It took me a while to understand what you said there :D
You know, I don't play World of Tanks or War Thunder, but I absolutely love watching your videos. They're brilliant. I love the history of WWII and all, and I just find your videos extremely informative, interesting, and entertaining. I've finally just subscribed; perhaps now I should start playing one or the other haha.
War Thunder. Not only will it have tanks soon, it will also have naval as well in the future. Far funner to play because Arcade is FAR different from Realistic and Full Sim Battles are well...holy shit. XD lol Soon we get tanks and all hell will break loose. :D
What I don't understand is why nobody rolls their hellcat with 100 octane gasoline? The tank has good top speed but poor engine power and turret traverse, a perfect candidate for extra gas. If you're good at driving the hellcat then you can easily afford 100 octane gasoline and still make a lot of money.
The benefits aren't wonderful when you consider how strong the machine is without it. I'm in a clan tthat runs a lot of medium tank companies to help train players to get used to clan wars and direct calling, and all our vehicles use an automatic fire extinguisher, repair kit and medkit. The only requirement is the auto extinguisher, because burning to death in a TC sucks. I guess it comes down to cost:benefit. While I would be mildly more effective all of the time with gas, if I burn due to an unlucky shot early on in the game, I'm fucked for that game. I'd rather fight in the machine as it stands, and not have every odd game ruined by an unlucky hit, y'know?
obviouslypepsi The only way to play a hellcat is to be a hyper-violent player that uses the speed to his advantage and doesn't get shot, and if you don't get shot, you don't need fire extinguisher. But if you do get shot, that's not my problem. Oh, and by the way, when you get a 5-perk crew on your hellcat, I'll let you patronize me, but until then, tha' tha'!
This is my favorite tank next to the T49. If WoT touches either of these tanks I will RIOT!! >:( Both these tanks are only OP in the hands of good players. In the hands of bad players, I don't fear these tanks AT ALL. In the hands of good players, I will always be wary of them and will make them my priority targets to kill. I truly hope neither of these tanks will ever be changed.
Tier 6 and hellcats ... 2-3 shot anything that you meet while they are shooting back with 6-7 shot to kill weapons ^^ Its like taking a shotgun to a knifefight.
If you are an experienced player in a good team , in favorable conditions is not hard to do that. Try to do it in random battles when you are in a team of 10 year old kids who's main and best strategy is to camp somewhere between center of the map and base and shoot whatever comes in front of their gun !
Also, hellcat is a fantastic vehicle, great to see you review it. My favorite vehicle to run with optics, net, and GLD. Specced out and with a good driver, a few 90mm nosepokes will leave half the enemy team in the litter box.
This fucking thing and the KV-1S are the duo that are currently breaking mid-tier battles. I fucking hate it. I hate it more than I do any other tank around (save from maybe the Type 59, which I do not consider playing the game anyway ; more like laying it on the ground and breaking its bones with a bat).
wow got my replay shown :) The ping was because of the amazing Australia to USA server connection. Looking back on it if I'd hit that luchs a bit sooner i might have gotten the 14 kills but what can ya do. I've got the best internet i can get but its the difference between 250-300 and 200-250
Maybe I'm asking this question on the wrong video but you reminded me the problem I have with the NA server latency on hellcat scene. When I first created a WOT account without knowing about EU and RU servers I created on wot.com which happened to be NA server. Later I downloaded EU client and found out that I had much better ping there
Greetings, BohemianEagle! The Hellcat surely is one of the fastest tanks in the game, with great accuracy as well. Just keep in mind its armor isn't too strong, making the model prone to damage. Good luck in the battlefield! Wargaming Ambassador Palifuns
I've had 4 medals and 4.5k damage games on hellkittys :p, I don't have camo on it either, just some other ones, I also prefer to attack and go around is3's than stay far back ;3
I hate hellcats even more than artillery. M18 camo is out of this world, and the gun mantle bounces such a massive slugs that should normally rip the turret off
***** Play WoT. Its totally different from WT Ground Forces despite being the same sort of game, and offers a much different experience (Like CoD and Battlefield Series). I think both WT and WoT are tons of fun, and the best thing is that they are both free, so try out both!
Jingles, off topic question. Have you tried Nvidia ShadowPlay yet? They just added desktop capture. I'm curious to know what you think, it's what I use for my videos.
he has said in a mingles with jingles?(i think not sure) that until there is any other new stuff he wont make a star citizen video which seems that the game is progressing slowly
"you should always exploit every unfair advantage you have" does this mean I should spam gold Jingles? :P Btw, I like tier 8 battles better than tier 6 because there's more hp to collect :) Ps. the best you've done was 11 kills in a Jagdtiger. But Y U have no Radley Walters or Pools medals showing in your profile? I guess it was on a different account or the test server?
Not so sure about it, you do need to know how to play it. I only had a few battles in it, on my friends account, and got my ass kicked right off of my body.
Albert Wesker All you "need to know" with hellcat is to stay hidden and that is all. You have amazing range and camo on top of a turret. And a troll turret at that.
OrdoMallius I know how to play TDs, I love them (which is why I think of the new Germans and the turreted Americans as a kind of heretics in the medieval age, but that's just me), however i'm used to have at least some armor and not tier 1 HE shells being able to pen me 5 tiers higher. Plus the slow turret traverse.... ***** 100% crew with camo :P
13mm of hull side and rear armor is not OP. being 1 hit by a tier 5 is not really OP hellcats takes skills to use. 70% of the people who use them dont know how to use them. I think have have about 400 games and a 70% win rate.
You're right, it's broken. It's broken because the Hellcat in game is horribly nerfed/gimped compared to the real one. The real one has a 90 degree plus per second hull rotation, has a hydraulic turret with a similar max rotation rate, can go almost 100kph, accelerates *very* fast, fires what would be premium ammo from the game (HVAP) and was actually harder to spot when hull down than the game's spotting mechanics will allow. Just **four** Hellcats stalled the entire 2nd Panzer Division's advance to seize the Allied fuel dumps near Monaville during the Battle of the Bulge in WW2, then those **same** four Hellcats sped over to block 2nd Panzer's attack on Noville. Those four Hellcats were credited with at least 24 German tank kills, including Tigers, with no losses of their own. The Hellcat's real world ability to fire from nowhere and literally vanish only to reappear literally on the other side of the battlefield to repeat the performance utterly confused the Germans, who thought they were under attack by more than a division of tank destroyers. The Hellcat was the armored vehicle that the Germans feared most out of all the vehicles they faced *for a reason*. You think the Hellcat is broken levels of OP? Have Wargaming ungimp the Hellcat. Restore its real world performance. Listen the screams *then*.
as someone who has only ever face Hellcats rather than driving them, they are up there with the Toaster and the Nashorn as some of my most hated enemies, spot you first, and do enough damage to kill you before you return fire (maybe because I play British a lot and their guns just cant kill Hellcats quickly enough)
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHHAHA! EPIC FUCKING EPIC ghahahaha!!! Going to go buy myself a Kitty now, only 4k xp left to grind, fuck I'm going to buy premium for it too.
hellcat WAS mounted with 90mm experimentally, but they basically said "not a lot of ammo in this thing, and it isn't terribly accurate even though it is quite powerful" so they decided not to use it, that and HVAP was available.
Anyone here having fps drop issues on 8.11? I was averaging 60-70fps on 8.10 on max settings. But now I'm at 15-20 fps! Tried setting the graphics to low turned off all other options and still no improvement! My system specs AMD Phenom II 1090t, 8gigs DDR3, HD7850. Please help!
the reason why everyone watches your videos is because well... check someone like QB he does reviews about the size of your clips.you go into detail.(also well your funny.)(AND I'M PART GERMAN SO THEY MUST BE FUNNY.)-MR.D :D
Ahh, the hellcat. The only thing that kept me sane today as I was grinding out my T21 (loved the T20; hate this pile of crap). Whenever I would get one-shotted by an E75 or a JPanther II I'd roll out my hellcat and go take revenge on it's little brother, the Tiger. No feeling better then successfully circling a Tiger II in a hellcat. :D
I have had a Hellcat, have about a 46% win rate. I am not great, but I usually play a decent game in it. I got a Jackson last week and have played about 150 games in it the last week. 56% win rate in the Jackson. Go figure. Do you have tanks that just never win for you? My KV1S was like that and I finally got rid of it. Thats my question of the week for you anyway.
A hellcat driver today just had the luck of the Irish, shot him up the arse with the 152 M-10 (yeah I was driving a KV-2) and he was left with 24 health points and eventually killed me, because I wasn't getting any backup.
Today morning I had one of my best games in this pussycat. Unfortunatelly, my 5kills, Tank Sniper and High Caliber wasn´t enough, because there wese some real "pussies" in our team, sitting on the hills of ElHalluf in their heavies and camp their pissed pants the whole battle. I got nailed, and the enemy finished them off....but I still love this little machine! :)
I hate encounter so much... I did have a good Standard on Redshire though, 28 shots fired, 28 hits, 26pens, 4000dmg :) vs tier 8s, it was like RNG took a vacation!
Hey Mr. Jingles, I am not a native English speaker. You speak in your videos very low level and you sound like swallowing some words that i can not hear exactly.
Waga100 is a player on the NA server and lives in Australia! We've platooned a couple of times! I know his pain when it comes to ping as it sucks for us Aussies on any server (SEA is the best with 140-150 ping)
Hellcat on camparovka or the magic forest land of murrawanker is not impressive nor entertaining to watch since its pretty much about abusing a unbalanced tank on picture perfect maps. I would had been impressed if he used the 76 mm gun but anyone rolling the 90 mm, sorry its a no go on bush maps. Pull it of on Ruinberg or another "hellcat unfriendlier" map and I'm impressed. Still congrats to all the medals, gg&wp.
This isn't possible anymore with the 10kph reverse speed and the "Ihateyouamericans" nerf keeping it 10kph and getting to the over-downhill reverse speed at 45deg over 4 seconds to max out. With at vehicle that in real life did 110kph on roads.
Absolutely love my Hellcat. I've had the most fun in that tank... Now if only the T25/2 got the heavy tanks gun of the next tier like its suppose to... Maybe it wouldn't suck so much.
Even though I never play WoT, I still watch jingles' videos. It his world domination plan coming into affect. Praise Jingles, Jingles, Jingles, Jingles, Jingles.
Hellcat sucks.... can't compare to t67 or whatever it is called now.... i loved my t67 back when it was called t49, then i got hellcat.... slow, sluggish.... why everyone seems to be in love with it so much??
hey jingels just to let you know that WG has added a recoverly tank service for the Premium tank you acceditly sold or regreting of selling it i have use it to get my beloved LTP tire 3 Premium light tank i am so happy now :)
I'd make my full ammo load out HE shells in my KV-1 with it's 85mm, for all the times I've bounced off the Hellcat... And then died after because it was a crucial shot.
Jingles didn't you say at the beginning of the video at 5:55 "fair fights are for suckers and if your in a fair fight and if it is then you've something wrong" which at 15:16 you then disqualified the 15 kill battle by a hezter since he/she made it "exactly a fair" fight for the enemy team......so which is it then? PS where can I find this battle by the hezter? And I'm just really confused about this and I mean no disrespect to jingles at all since he seems to be contradicting himself, so by no means am I a hater or anything like that.
I played through the other TD line first, The Jackson was an amazing amazing tank. When I got to the Hellcat, it was like playing a faster Jackson. Not better or worse but right at home. Both tanks are amazing.
230 ms is the slowest connection you have ever seen ??? looooool really ? I'm from north africa and when i do get 250 ms I'm the happiest man in the world . I uselly play on 350 or 400 ms I even got sometimes 600 ms Lost countless games du to internet poor connection
Ha ha SirFoch was just complaining about the Su100 (about how boring it is to play) in his last video, and here he is in a platoon, in his Su100. A lot of F bombs dropped in his last vid, gota love it.
I wish I had a clip of my fight as the last one on my team in a StugIII, Low health TD, one of the 2 enemy arties and a T6 Heavy show up on my doorstep, I was using the long gun, nailed the TD on the ridge, T6 peaks the corner and I track him, Arty shows around a rock I clutch the shot, then I get to go toe to toe at point blank range with a T6 in my stug, I manage to win, but he DID get a hit in on my putting me on low health. only one left on enemy team is an Arty, I go to the cap to try and root him out and he manages to snatch a clutch shot and splash damage me to 12 health as well as track me. I hit him as well and leave him on MINUSCULE health. so he does the only thing he could think of and rams me killing us both. Match ended in a draw, respect to that Arty player.
Currently Grinding through American TD's for the Event goin on and i can say I do terribly enjoy blowing up each and every kitty i get my hands on while in the Jackson.
I finnaly grinded the T67 to get this amazing tank and atm i only have the 74mm gun and i get faced with tier 8 and 9's with the tanks stupid matchmaking and i only get 500 to 600 xp a game and i need 14,000 for the 90mm help!
Fucking love the tank! Huge fan jingles and I just would like to know when u are typically online playing and what server like north east servers. Also I wonder if u do any fan games?!
just yesterday i had some quiet good games with 2 buddies all driving this hellish kitten. the top game was really exciting, as it started bad, got worse and then i just rescued a game. If you'd like to watch: wotreplays.eu/site/756288#redshire-a_bullet-m18_hellcat
Some one took off half my hp because some one 7 minutes before said I was drawing fire. Sigh. I did nothing that game because my team rushed as well. Making my in my m6 get no damage and the guy continued to say that I sucked at world of tanks. Those bloody scumbags.
The hellcat is only a decent tank. It is good in the hands of unicums but bad players make it bad. The Cromwell is easily the best tier six. If you think otherwise send me an invite in NA server and I'll prove it to you.
You know, driving a hellcat with that 90mm is easier than driving a T69 with regular AP ammo, and causing over 5k damage and 7 kills, and the great thing was is I ran down to gold ammo for the last kill heh heh
My record is 12 kills in my T14 with some ridiculously easy matchmaking on a sand river encounter battle, I decided to go to the cap and so did the rest of the enemy team, so I killed them all with the help of my troll armor.
I love hellcats...........
Especially when I'm in a KV-2........
Toza Peloda
LOL yeah
When that happens, I be like "OHHHHHHHHHHH NO YOU DIDN'T"
At that point, after I bounce his shot, I let my platoonmates finish him
Even in a bishop ;).
I would have your tanky guts spilled all over your spawn camp before you even had a chance to turn your turret towards me!
If you catch a hellcat not expecting you,.. Otherwise the hellcat easily circles around a kv2.
record critical hit count was seven critical hits to a hellcat in 1 shot-killed 3 crew men and destroyed / damaged 4 modules
My Favourite tank in the game along with the Comet. It's so Fun! A bit OP but only if you now how to play it. Also, it is damn beautiful. Ahhh, I love the Hellcat
it's not *a bit* OP. It's definitely OP. All you need to do better in the hellcat than in your other tanks is over 46.5% global WR: ivanerr.ru/lt/images/liz/hellcat.png
Jukelo Well, it's OP then. But... It' doesn't feel like it. I mean it is great and above average but it dies so quick and has low health, slow turret.... I still think that you have to be better to do well in a hellcat than in a KV-1S. You can't just charge forward and derp people in the face, nor can you play it like a medium tank... well, you can but as I said earlier it has that slow turret traverse and that low armor with low hp...
What do you mean by OP?
Have you met my friend, KV-2 ?
***** Orange Peel
I love the replay description "all that good stuff"haha
What about some Ground Forces? :D I've had some incredible matches in it with ZE PANTHER!
You're playing with SirFoch AHH Now I know why I recognised the name and reminded me of Jingles when I watched "Object 430 is it worth it"
Nice tip about the unfair fighting, but I allways am the one to get into that spot where I'm outnumbered, and sometimes I can manage to pull it off, rolling away as the winner
happened to me that i was in my KV-1 tier 5 match and i saw about 5 enemy tanks against me, no large threats, all 1-shots.i lost barely some HP and killed them all on cliff (i think its the cliff, most heavies go to Town, and there is a hill on the left flank, and in the middle a large lake and a really thin pass with a steep cliff diving right into the lake, left and middle separated by a large mountain) and i was alone, and i was protecting that flank while my teammates push town. but i was not fast enough for a topgun, because the guys against me knew that if they turn i will pop out and shoot, and there were a couple of enemy tanks left on the other flank when enemy lost town, and i still had 2 targets to kill on my flank. by the time i killed these 2 there was artillery hiding, he was not a scumbag. and when i rolled over the small hill and started moving down, my poor russian elevation didn't let me get the kill. still, 5 kills is amazing.
Funny, the KV-1 is the tank I was referring to on my post, outnumbered 7 on me... 2 of them survived and on very low health...
Alexander Hermansson
well, i was talking about 5 tier 4's and there were no hetzers there. as it was tier 5 match, there weren't any hellcats.
Same here
No hellcats, I was top tier
If the hellcat is going to be in Historic with the 75mm restore it as it was before tha nerf.
Ah Jingels i suck as this game, tanks or planes doesn't matter but i like it and your video's do help me along :-), thanks man.
Just gotta love the Hellcat! :)
Jingles don't make it too hard for you to say Luchs, it is effectively Lux or similar to the english "looks" it's spoken that way in German, the "chs" combo at the end of any word in German equals "x" or "ks" sound. same with Wachs = wax, Dachs = dax (badger) ... but points for effort pronouncing the "ch" sound without throwing up. i know it's hard for non natives :D
Kudos for playing with almost 0,25s of lag :D
Tom McKeown
Where do you live Tom?
Tom McKeown
I thought UK is such advanced country they would have wireless internet over whole country, or atleast fibre optic everywhere.
Ex Angel
When you say fibre optic in the UK, we are talking about FTTN (fiber to the node) or FTTC (the street cabinet) rather than fibre-optic to the home (FTTH), BT wasted millions of pounds of tax payers money giving us an inferior broadband connection to the rest of the civilised world; they have been handed a damned monopoly. Even places like the Netherlands have far superior internet connections than us, the "communications hub" of Europe.
i am soo close to my hellcat. but im kinda disapointed because i heard they will be removing the 90mm from the hellcat in 9.1.
I once killed a camper hellcat, that had been camping the base he whole game, and gotten six kills, but when I showed up in my scout M7, the guy kept pointing his gun at the corner I had been behind like...5 seconds, and only then started turning his turret. Luckily, I knocked his gun out, and he raged when I killed him! Trolled him to death :P Hahaha
Il take my stug 3 :) fully upgraded any time of the day :D so much fun
Miss the chin-up but kills the bishop that part is lucky shot
waga100 is from Australia as he is in GOD_Z clan. That must explain his horrible ping, just like me in South Australia; I get 200-300ms pretty much all time.
Bad news Jingles! Your loved Centurion is getting its turret nerfed in 9.0 with the new HD model.
just say its Russian, and also why its already accurate
by how much of a nerf ,can you tell me pls . i have not herd yet
NOOOOOOO!! Not the beautiful Centurion. My poor baby....
the mantlet is not as good
Killing invisible tanks in front of detected tanks is the best!
I've had that happen as well. Often the artillery is the one dying on accident.
viviones Yup
Gets better with a KV-2 missing a tank point blank only to see that you killed another tank behind it.
Rule 1. Pillage, then burn.

Hellcat is such a great machine, kinda disliked it because got so much in love with the t49 until i made the first Radley's on it. :P Thanks for the video.
Rita Gamer!!! (^____^)/ hai!
I almost had Pools medal in my Hellcat twice. One day... ;-)
I've seen another girl driving almost nothing but the hellcat for thousands of battles. :P
You disliked it because you loved the T49? How does that make sense? Seems like WOT would be pretty one sided for you, if you dislike all but one tank at the time.
Bakkendk It makes sense because people become attached to what they are used to. She was used to driving a T 49, which, to be honest, is a fantastic little machine for its tier. It wasn't until she gained experience with the hellcat that she realized that it was also an amazing TD in its own right. Possibly what she's saying is, maybe she didn't want to give up the T49 to transfer the crew to the hellcat (or sell it to make room for it in her garage).
As a complete aside, I love your twitch live stream Rita. You should invite Jingles as a guest more often!!
Dear Jingles,
Field Commander Damion Rayne from the Angry Army here, our offer to have you on our live stream is still up. We'd very much love to have you on as a guest for War Thunder.
If you can, please contact me via the AJSA Forums.

This is interesting, I didn't knew that AJSA community is interested in War Thunder. I somehow feel that you have better chance to get Mr. Jingles in Wot, as WT is fun to watch, but hey.. (sorry if you reading this) he is not as good in WT as in Wot. Best luck anyway :). P.S Raseinia medal... It took me a while to understand what you said there :D
Hmmm... most interesting. *strokes furry white cat*
BohemianEagle thumbed up for the furry white cat. :p
BohemianEagle
Replied with info on the forums for ya Jingles.
BohemianEagle LOL
You know, I don't play World of Tanks or War Thunder, but I absolutely love watching your videos. They're brilliant. I love the history of WWII and all, and I just find your videos extremely informative, interesting, and entertaining. I've finally just subscribed; perhaps now I should start playing one or the other haha.
Do both.
play world of tanks its more fun for me at least
Try both and continue playing the one you enjoy the most.
War Thunder.
Not only will it have tanks soon, it will also have naval as well in the future.
Far funner to play because Arcade is FAR different from Realistic and Full Sim Battles are well...holy shit. XD
lol Soon we get tanks and all hell will break loose. :D
SoulKiller7Eternal I don't really care for WT.
KV-2 may be stronk tank in game. But that darn Hellkitten is easily the best tank in the darn game. 'Murica.
Raz0rking I'm a master of them both (Hellcat and KV-2) so easy to make T8's look retarded with them.
Shoot and scoot. They wont stand a chance...
Raz0rking It does take skill. Just pretend every shot will kill you. Keep moving, and choose targets wisely.
What I don't understand is why nobody rolls their hellcat with 100 octane gasoline? The tank has good top speed but poor engine power and turret traverse, a perfect candidate for extra gas.
If you're good at driving the hellcat then you can easily afford 100 octane gasoline and still make a lot of money.
The benefits aren't wonderful when you consider how strong the machine is without it.
I'm in a clan tthat runs a lot of medium tank companies to help train players to get used to clan wars and direct calling, and all our vehicles use an automatic fire extinguisher, repair kit and medkit. The only requirement is the auto extinguisher, because burning to death in a TC sucks.
I guess it comes down to cost:benefit. While I would be mildly more effective all of the time with gas, if I burn due to an unlucky shot early on in the game, I'm fucked for that game. I'd rather fight in the machine as it stands, and not have every odd game ruined by an unlucky hit, y'know?
obviouslypepsi The only way to play a hellcat is to be a hyper-violent player that uses the speed to his advantage and doesn't get shot, and if you don't get shot, you don't need fire extinguisher.
But if you do get shot, that's not my problem.
Oh, and by the way, when you get a 5-perk crew on your hellcat, I'll let you patronize me, but until then, tha' tha'!
Yes, я тоже его не понимаю
This is my favorite tank next to the T49. If WoT touches either of these tanks I will RIOT!! >:(
Both these tanks are only OP in the hands of good players. In the hands of bad players, I don't fear these tanks AT ALL. In the hands of good players, I will always be wary of them and will make them my priority targets to kill.
I truly hope neither of these tanks will ever be changed.
Tier 6 and hellcats ... 2-3 shot anything that you meet while they are shooting back with 6-7 shot to kill weapons ^^
Its like taking a shotgun to a knifefight.
If you are an experienced player in a good team , in favorable conditions is not hard to do that. Try to do it in random battles when you are in a team of 10 year old kids who's main and best strategy is to camp somewhere between center of the map and base and shoot whatever comes in front of their gun !
Is there any chance you could do an Is4 review anytime soon? since there arent many out there...
I think he already has one
it's one of the best tier X tanks in the game in my opinion, definitely one of the most well balanced ones
The IS7 is better.
Connor Kenway lolwut?
Den Bark Actually, the IS4's gun beats the IS7's in every way but alpha dmg
Also, hellcat is a fantastic vehicle, great to see you review it. My favorite vehicle to run with optics, net, and GLD. Specced out and with a good driver, a few 90mm nosepokes will leave half the enemy team in the litter box.
Jingles Lithuania forgives you,and thanks to I didn't knew there is medal in WOT where Lithuania is mentioned :)
"13 kills in a Hellcat. That's not bad." LOL Typical British understatement. :)
This fucking thing and the KV-1S are the duo that are currently breaking mid-tier battles. I fucking hate it. I hate it more than I do any other tank around (save from maybe the Type 59, which I do not consider playing the game anyway ; more like laying it on the ground and breaking its bones with a bat).
wow got my replay shown :) The ping was because of the amazing Australia to USA server connection. Looking back on it if I'd hit that luchs a bit sooner i might have gotten the 14 kills but what can ya do. I've got the best internet i can get but its the difference between 250-300 and 200-250
Maybe I'm asking this question on the wrong video but you reminded me the problem I have with the NA server latency on hellcat scene. When I first created a WOT account without knowing about EU and RU servers I created on wot.com which happened to be NA server. Later I downloaded EU client and found out that I had much better ping there
Greetings, BohemianEagle!
The Hellcat surely is one of the fastest tanks in the game, with great accuracy as well. Just keep in mind its armor isn't too strong, making the model prone to damage.
Good luck in the battlefield!
Wargaming Ambassador Palifuns
I've had 4 medals and 4.5k damage games on hellkittys :p, I don't have camo on it either, just some other ones, I also prefer to attack and go around is3's than stay far back ;3
I hate hellcats even more than artillery.
M18 camo is out of this world, and the gun mantle bounces such a massive slugs that should normally rip the turret off
I hope more SEA players heard the strategy highlighted by Jingles here. Sigh...
Never really got into World of tanks myself. But looks like a great little machine. Nice work :)
Same here, I held off playing WoT because of WT tanks.
To be honest, they are completely different games, as Jingles has said before.
***** Play WoT. Its totally different from WT Ground Forces despite being the same sort of game, and offers a much different experience (Like CoD and Battlefield Series). I think both WT and WoT are tons of fun, and the best thing is that they are both free, so try out both!
Westonsammy Okay, I really like watching WoT videos, so I may as well give it a try. :)
Westonsammy I like WT tanks more because they don't have futuristic tanks
LOL? i was looking for some recent hellcat videos from you and i refreshed youtube and boom! :O:O
There is no such thing as overkill. There is only "Open Fire" and "Reloading!"
I got 10 kills in my hellcat the other day and got my first pools medal in 1 year of playing =D It's definately a nifty little tank
Jingles, off topic question.
Have you tried Nvidia ShadowPlay yet? They just added desktop capture. I'm curious to know what you think, it's what I use for my videos.
your making me stay up too long mr jingles........ if im late at school tomorrow its ur fault
If a Hellcat hides behind a Stick, Your going to have a bad day.
I stared at the screen without laughing but when the vid ended I laughed the hell out of myself
Jingles, would u take any video submissions from console gameplay?
Or would u mind showing any?
I was thinking the same thing
What about the tank after this one .i believe its crap .do i have alternative ?
What happened to the star citizen series? Are you going to keep posting about it?
he has said in a mingles with jingles?(i think not sure) that until there is any other new stuff he wont make a star citizen video which seems that the game is progressing slowly
Ah, the days before the pre-nerf hellcat...
Played it very much, but now its slow AF, and the gun has become World of 90 mm Bounce
Wow so much stealing on that Prokorohvka game ^^
"you should always exploit every unfair advantage you have"
does this mean I should spam gold Jingles? :P Btw, I like tier 8 battles better than tier 6 because there's more hp to collect :)
Ps. the best you've done was 11 kills in a Jagdtiger. But Y U have no Radley Walters or Pools medals showing in your profile? I guess it was on a different account or the test server?
Noone should blame a tier 6 using gold against well armored tier 8s if the situation requirs that
Sure, but be mindful that it IS unfair advantage, and thus liable to get you haters.
MyVanir But Jingles said "always use EVERY unfair advantage" :P
JFskeezix He got his good games before they added the R-W medal into the game, so he didn't get one.
CaptainNiceGuy ah ok, also Pools? how old/new is that medal anyway?
Hellcat is one of best TD's for it's tier.
When you have platoon of Hellcat you are unstopable :D
Three sluggers :)
Jingles do you think your running out of stuff to say?
Hellcat is broken really don't even try to argue it.
Not so sure about it, you do need to know how to play it. I only had a few battles in it, on my friends account, and got my ass kicked right off of my body.
Albert Wesker
All you "need to know" with hellcat is to stay hidden and that is all. You have amazing range and camo on top of a turret. And a troll turret at that.
OrdoMallius I know how to play TDs, I love them (which is why I think of the new Germans and the turreted Americans as a kind of heretics in the medieval age, but that's just me), however i'm used to have at least some armor and not tier 1 HE shells being able to pen me 5 tiers higher. Plus the slow turret traverse....
***** 100% crew with camo :P
13mm of hull side and rear armor is not OP. being 1 hit by a tier 5 is not really OP hellcats takes skills to use. 70% of the people who use them dont know how to use them. I think have have about 400 games and a 70% win rate.
You're right, it's broken. It's broken because the Hellcat in game is horribly nerfed/gimped compared to the real one. The real one has a 90 degree plus per second hull rotation, has a hydraulic turret with a similar max rotation rate, can go almost 100kph, accelerates *very* fast, fires what would be premium ammo from the game (HVAP) and was actually harder to spot when hull down than the game's spotting mechanics will allow. Just **four** Hellcats stalled the entire 2nd Panzer Division's advance to seize the Allied fuel dumps near Monaville during the Battle of the Bulge in WW2, then those **same** four Hellcats sped over to block 2nd Panzer's attack on Noville. Those four Hellcats were credited with at least 24 German tank kills, including Tigers, with no losses of their own. The Hellcat's real world ability to fire from nowhere and literally vanish only to reappear literally on the other side of the battlefield to repeat the performance utterly confused the Germans, who thought they were under attack by more than a division of tank destroyers. The Hellcat was the armored vehicle that the Germans feared most out of all the vehicles they faced *for a reason*.
You think the Hellcat is broken levels of OP? Have Wargaming ungimp the Hellcat. Restore its real world performance. Listen the screams *then*.
Jingles, I don't want to be rude but...
...WERE THE HELL ARE THE GROUND FORCES VIDEOS?!
I'd love to see more of that game =(
oh god i play at 250-300 ms :(
as someone who has only ever face Hellcats rather than driving them, they are up there with the Toaster and the Nashorn as some of my most hated enemies, spot you first, and do enough damage to kill you before you return fire (maybe because I play British a lot and their guns just cant kill Hellcats quickly enough)
It is soo much fun listening to the lementations of Hellcat players in historical battles. :)
Remove this video. Today its just pile of lie. They nerfed it hard.
Go play warthunder m18. way better
Indeed. They nerfed the tanks instead fix the MM to take players stats instead tank stats, absurd strategy btw.
I agree, what they did to the hell cat is a sin,I used to love zipping around in my hellcat, I still do but terrain just fucks it all up now
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHHAHA! EPIC FUCKING EPIC ghahahaha!!!
Going to go buy myself a Kitty now, only 4k xp left to grind, fuck I'm going to buy premium for it too.
hellcat WAS mounted with 90mm experimentally, but they basically said "not a lot of ammo in this thing, and it isn't terribly accurate even though it is quite powerful" so they decided not to use it, that and HVAP was available.
Anyone here having fps drop issues on 8.11? I was averaging 60-70fps on 8.10 on max settings. But now I'm at 15-20 fps! Tried setting the graphics to low turned off all other options and still no improvement! My system specs AMD Phenom II 1090t, 8gigs DDR3, HD7850. Please help!
the reason why everyone watches your videos is because well... check someone like QB he does reviews about the size of your clips.you go into detail.(also well your funny.)(AND I'M PART GERMAN SO THEY MUST BE FUNNY.)-MR.D :D
Ahh, the hellcat. The only thing that kept me sane today as I was grinding out my T21 (loved the T20; hate this pile of crap). Whenever I would get one-shotted by an E75 or a JPanther II I'd roll out my hellcat and go take revenge on it's little brother, the Tiger. No feeling better then successfully circling a Tiger II in a hellcat. :D
I have had a Hellcat, have about a 46% win rate. I am not great, but I usually play a decent game in it. I got a Jackson last week and have played about 150 games in it the last week. 56% win rate in the Jackson. Go figure. Do you have tanks that just never win for you? My KV1S was like that and I finally got rid of it. Thats my question of the week for you anyway.
A hellcat driver today just had the luck of the Irish, shot him up the arse with the 152 M-10 (yeah I was driving a KV-2) and he was left with 24 health points and eventually killed me, because I wasn't getting any backup.
Today morning I had one of my best games in this pussycat. Unfortunatelly, my 5kills, Tank Sniper and High Caliber wasn´t enough, because there wese some real "pussies" in our team, sitting on the hills of ElHalluf in their heavies and camp their pissed pants the whole battle. I got nailed, and the enemy finished them off....but I still love this little machine! :)
I hate encounter so much... I did have a good Standard on Redshire though, 28 shots fired, 28 hits, 26pens, 4000dmg :) vs tier 8s, it was like RNG took a vacation!
Hey Mr. Jingles, I am not a native English speaker. You speak in your videos very low level and you sound like swallowing some words that i can not hear exactly.
Waga100 is a player on the NA server and lives in Australia! We've platooned a couple of times!
I know his pain when it comes to ping as it sucks for us Aussies on any server (SEA is the best with 140-150 ping)
Hellcat on camparovka or the magic forest land of murrawanker is not impressive nor entertaining to watch since its pretty much about abusing a unbalanced tank on picture perfect maps. I would had been impressed if he used the 76 mm gun but anyone rolling the 90 mm, sorry its a no go on bush maps. Pull it of on Ruinberg or another "hellcat unfriendlier" map and I'm impressed. Still congrats to all the medals, gg&wp.
Awesome second game. I just released a video with pools medal on prokhorovka too, but on this replay there "only" 10 kills ^^
This isn't possible anymore with the 10kph reverse speed and the "Ihateyouamericans" nerf keeping it 10kph and getting to the over-downhill reverse speed at 45deg over 4 seconds to max out. With at vehicle that in real life did 110kph on roads.
Absolutely love my Hellcat. I've had the most fun in that tank... Now if only the T25/2 got the heavy tanks gun of the next tier like its suppose to... Maybe it wouldn't suck so much.
BohemianEagle Jingles, I Play With 350 Ping... Im Australian And Play On The NA Server
Even though I never play WoT, I still watch jingles' videos. It his world domination plan coming into affect. Praise Jingles, Jingles, Jingles, Jingles, Jingles.
Hellcat sucks.... can't compare to t67 or whatever it is called now.... i loved my t67 back when it was called t49, then i got hellcat.... slow, sluggish.... why everyone seems to be in love with it so much??
I've actually gotten 12 kills max as well in my Hellcat. Did it on South Coast. This guy did damn good though lol, o7 my fellow Hellcat driver!
hey jingels just to let you know that WG has added a recoverly tank service for the Premium tank you acceditly sold or regreting of selling it i have use it to get my beloved LTP tire 3 Premium light tank i am so happy now :)
I'd make my full ammo load out HE shells in my KV-1 with it's 85mm, for all the times I've bounced off the Hellcat... And then died after because it was a crucial shot.
Jingles didn't you say at the beginning of the video at 5:55 "fair fights are for suckers and if your in a fair fight and if it is then you've something wrong" which at 15:16 you then disqualified the 15 kill battle by a hezter since he/she made it "exactly a fair" fight for the enemy team......so which is it then?
PS where can I find this battle by the hezter? And I'm just really confused about this and I mean no disrespect to jingles at all since he seems to be contradicting himself, so by no means am I a hater or anything like that.
I played through the other TD line first, The Jackson was an amazing amazing tank. When I got to the Hellcat, it was like playing a faster Jackson. Not better or worse but right at home. Both tanks are amazing.
230 ms is the slowest connection you have ever seen ??? looooool really ?
I'm from north africa and when i do get 250 ms I'm the happiest man in the world .
I uselly play on 350 or 400 ms I even got sometimes 600 ms
Lost countless games du to internet poor connection
Ha ha SirFoch was just complaining about the Su100 (about how boring it is to play) in his last video, and here he is in a platoon, in his Su100. A lot of F bombs dropped in his last vid, gota love it.
I wish I had a clip of my fight as the last one on my team in a StugIII, Low health TD, one of the 2 enemy arties and a T6 Heavy show up on my doorstep, I was using the long gun, nailed the TD on the ridge, T6 peaks the corner and I track him, Arty shows around a rock I clutch the shot, then I get to go toe to toe at point blank range with a T6 in my stug, I manage to win, but he DID get a hit in on my putting me on low health. only one left on enemy team is an Arty, I go to the cap to try and root him out and he manages to snatch a clutch shot and splash damage me to 12 health as well as track me. I hit him as well and leave him on MINUSCULE health. so he does the only thing he could think of and rams me killing us both. Match ended in a draw, respect to that Arty player.
Jingles, your pronunciation of "Lithuania" is perfect. Could not have pronounced it better myself. Regards from the "Rain country"!
Currently Grinding through American TD's for the Event goin on and i can say I do terribly enjoy blowing up each and every kitty i get my hands on while in the Jackson.
I finnaly grinded the T67 to get this amazing tank and atm i only have the 74mm gun and i get faced with tier 8 and 9's with the tanks stupid matchmaking and i only get 500 to 600 xp a game and i need 14,000 for the 90mm help!
Wish they gave it the real top speed of 89 km/h off-road/98 on-road; that'd be epic!
But then they'd have to make it jump back 3 feet every time you fire the 90 mm, like the only 90 mm armed Hellcat ever converted did in real life.
it could actually go 100 mph in real life I think
Drorgath
I think you mean kmph :P
Drorgath Not to be a duck but it would actually be 100 kmh
Drorgath theres a difference between mph and kph 100mph is roughly 200kph
Fucking love the tank! Huge fan jingles and I just would like to know when u are typically online playing and what server like north east servers. Also I wonder if u do any fan games?!
just yesterday i had some quiet good games with 2 buddies all driving this hellish kitten. the top game was really exciting, as it started bad, got worse and then i just rescued a game. If you'd like to watch: wotreplays.eu/site/756288#redshire-a_bullet-m18_hellcat
Some one took off half my hp because some one 7 minutes before said I was drawing fire. Sigh. I did nothing that game because my team rushed as well. Making my in my m6 get no damage and the guy continued to say that I sucked at world of tanks. Those bloody scumbags.
suddenly my opinion of my own hellcat skills takes a nosedive. and I don't play on a 100< ping server, mad props to that hellcat driver.
I'm about to buy the T25/2 but it just seems like a worse version of the Hellcat. Is it good for anything or does it suck? :P
The hellcat is only a decent tank. It is good in the hands of unicums but bad players make it bad. The Cromwell is easily the best tier six. If you think otherwise send me an invite in NA server and I'll prove it to you.
You know, driving a hellcat with that 90mm is easier than driving a T69 with regular AP ammo, and causing over 5k damage and 7 kills, and the great thing was is I ran down to gold ammo for the last kill heh heh
"I never try anything. I just do it! Wanna try me?" - Tura Satana, Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
My record is 12 kills in my T14 with some ridiculously easy matchmaking on a sand river encounter battle, I decided to go to the cap and so did the rest of the enemy team, so I killed them all with the help of my troll armor.
