Hi, I'm Dave from the KV-5. I was genuinely not expecting to see myself in a Jingles video lmfao, especially after having played the game for 10+ years on and off. As a couple people in the comments have said, I might've had a better result if i had positioned myself better or played more defensively. While yeah, I can definitely see that after watching the replay myself, I'm just an average scrub trying to have fun in this p2w swamp, and I've only had like 30 battles in the KV-5 before that, so, eh, it went pretty nice anyway :)
@purpleneons I think you did good The KV-5 can be great fun, especially when in a platoon with another preferred MM tank I used to play with a Super Pershing buddy and I used his armor to cover my hull GG and have a good day
Hey, I'm flamethrowr! When I saw the ASTRON Rex in the thumbnail I got super excited because I thought I might have been featured, and I was correct! The ASTRON Rex is one of my favorite tier 8 premium tanks, specifically regarding the crazy clip potential that Jingles mentioned. Also one thing he didn't talk about was the fact that I didn't fire a single premium round this game, aiming for weakspots is good enough is most tier 8 battles. Also, I love watching you with my dad and I can't wait to show this to him!
13:30 Oh Mighty jingles, may you never change. Actually for Brothers In Arms medal you only have to be in a platoon where everyone survives to the end and each has 3 kills to his name. Two people platoon is sufficient :)
I was going to say, I have video evidence of a two-man platoon getting that award... but it is nearly ten years old at this point, so maybe something had been changed.
Oh Jingles please never change. Brother in Arms is not required to have 3 platoon mates. Just that all platoon mates (regardless if two in the platoon or three) have 3 kills each and survive the battle. Sorry ill go back to my designated spot in the salt mine now.
Actually, Jingles, you were right about Churchill 3. At first there were no premiums higher than lvl 5 and introduction of KV-5 and Loшe was big deal at the time.
Actually Jingles, Brothers in Arms only requires 2 people in the platoon :) I've been playing since the beta test and I too have only a single Cruicial Contribution.
About the KV-5, there's a video out there (forgot by who/what clan) where, in a platoon, they use one KV-5 set up for ramming damage and two FCM 50t's (I believe), set up purely for speed. For a lot of that clip they indeed bomb around like "Choo choo muthafuckah!!!" causing pure panic amongst the enemy :)
@@basbeestKT I don't remember who did it, but Jingles did a video of their replays and linked to their channel which had some more assisted-ramming antics.
I've only ever got 1 crucial contribution medal, and not to throw shade on flamethrower and his platoon because 12 kills between the 3 of them is still impressive. But it feels so much more earnt when it is with people who you platoon with regularly and not created during the game when the opportunity arises. Still a very impressive result though sir!
It is amazing that the obvious R2D2 at the front of the KV-5 but some people don't come across them that often and due to being a rare sight people do not know about it. Like the missile pods on the Super Pershing was it's weak point.
You don't need 3 members in the toon to get the brother in arms medal. You can do with just two, but all members do have to have at least 3 kills and have to survive.
I honestly had a very fun game some years ago when i didnt had a kv5 but a kv4, was one of the last surviving players on the "south" spawn on westfield, and a jpanther 2 thought it was a "good idea" to ram with full hp and speed a kv4 in the back, he was dead and i lost just some hp and got a scratch since i did a ram build, it was a lost but a funny experience for me and a good teaching moment for the jpanther 2 back then 😂.
Jingles acts like every Tier 8 player is supposed to know where each of the 200 tanks in the game weak spots are? Nah, I'm not going to even try and learn.
KV5 mostly faces full t8 battles and you don't get to bounce so much in those games. Most t8 tanks played are premium and most of those choose gold only loadouts, they run clan and personal credit boosters and with premium they still make decent profits. And if that type of balance rubs you the wrong way follow my lead and quit the game.
Actually Jingles the Bat Chat 25T gets EXACTLY 30 rounds, just like the Astron Rex, the difference being that they do 390 average each and you can one clip any medium in the game (and when it happens, it is hillarious)
a couple notes about the kv5 it only got a 20mm buff on the r2d2, so very much still a weak spot considering 160mm (post buff) is still well below average tier 8 standard pen the gun might not have decent pen, but it does have good dpm. a base dpm of 2100 is higher than all other russian tier 8 heavies and is 5th overall in terms of dpm for tier 8 heavies across all nations premium matchmaking makes this thing really dumb. stupid fun tank when it works
To be fair, if the Astron Rex was to shoot the crossing enemies in the tracks, he would be able to shoot 3 shells into one of them easily, and if he or the team would double track them he could get even more.
flamethrowr here from the replay - I was trying to shoot the tanks in the drive wheel, but the accuracy on the ASTRON Rex is not the best and I kept missing.
It must be Thursday if Jingles is giving us a W O T video and 2 for the price of 1 at that. No great comebacks, just textbook examples of teams coming together at the right time. Hello to Rita and the kitties, scritches and treats where appropriate. Have a good one yourself, sir. 🐈🐈⬛👑✌️🖖
they definitely knew where to shoot, it's just up to rng if whether or not your armor works or not. i remember being in an all tier 6 match and basically being in a 3v8 in my jumbo, with my only front line support being an m6 & a stock arl. while the rest of my team sat back and sniped. i blocked nearly 3k of AP & gold + however much HE spam that the game doesn't count. then there was another match where i was top tier against mostly tier 5's and a couple tier 4's that were tooned with a tier 5. they were cutting through the 152mm turret + mantlet like butter that round. none of it gold
0:32 I had a battle lasting for 8 minutes (7 v 7 at tier 10). Myself and another ally did more damage than anyone on the enemy team. Needless to say, we still lost
Whilst the barrage taking was a quite nice view the best thing would have been to pull behind the rock and fight against the Hellcat and the Polish tank, preserving his HP and fighting on, might have gotten more damage and XP out of it ;)
What is it with that Astron Rex? That cupola on the turret is huge, and what is that round tumor-looking thing attached to it? The whole thing just looks weird.
What the hell was Dave in the KV-5 thinking? FYI he did quit and I'll go so far as to say he allowed the farming. He could easily have gone around that rock for cover and taken on the Pawlack without losing so much health. Yes he bounced 8k+ but to what end? He probably wouldn't have won the game but at least don't let players farm you.
Hey jingles kinda random but I was wondering if you had any thoughts on gaijins free to Play game called Enlisted? Might be interesting to you. Unless you've already covered it.
Bat-Chat 25t has six more shots? So 36. But why 36 in a 5 shot magazine? Maybe you meant the Tier 9 AP version, because my Bat-Chat 25 on Tier 10 still has a 30 capacity 🤷♂
I remember a KV-5 trial weekend a few years back. Half a dozen KV-5s per match along with a similar number of American heavies and mediums. The Americans would just go hull down and farm damage and laugh like Jingles at the accusations of hacking.
Back in the Day it was US T-34 or KV-5. KV-5 was cheaper. I don't recall how. But it was what Dave could afford........ Dave liked his KV-5. "Superiore whale players" in their 34's in clan and out trolled hard... Dave would simply push their corp um wrecks in front of R2D2. Wait out gold spammers. Then Ram Kill Them All. I made more Not firing the gun. LOL Man a real blast from the past this one
I love playing the Astron Rex but it's genuinely bizarre how little ammo it gets. Yeah it has a big gun and is a small-ish tank, but this isn't a game of absolute realism and potentially losing a drawn-out battle because you simply ran out of ammo is just detrimental and off-putting.
Yep... When players in this Game believe that Gold Ammo is God like standart, they all get frustrated, when they find out that it´s not and super pricy 🤣🤣🤣

With that muzzle break, the ASTRON Rex looks like a Dalek pretending to be a tank.
Someone needs to photoshop the top of a Dalek on the ASTRON Rex's hull.
Now I wonder why dr. Who doesn’t have humans in tanks pretending to be daleks. Torchwood, get your shit together.
I'm glad someone else sees it :)
Same with the French Sherman premium 'Reva, something".
And what is your ultimate aim?
"TO WIN. THE WAR."
Dave may have lost the battle but he won the war by destroying his enemy's economy.

"Oh there is 4202 also armed with a 105mm gun" Jingles never change :D
yea i was thinking that...when it was tier ten it was but now it has a 20pdr which is...80 smth mils
I think jingles was mistaking the teir 10 version (which had a 105mm) for the current version (which has a 84mm gun)
@@th3gr1zzlyk1ng8 Maybe that was the last time he actually played WoT :D
Astron Rex sounds like a brand of washing powder. For cleaner whites and low temperature non fade colours, I use Astron Rex.
Actually, Jingles, you were right about Churchill 3. At first there were no premiums higher than lvl 5 and introduction of KV-5 and Loшe was big deal at the time.
Two people can get BIA. You do not need 3. But it is a classic Jingles Moment right? 😀
Actually Jingles, Brothers in Arms only requires 2 people in the platoon :) I've been playing since the beta test and I too have only a single Cruicial Contribution.
I'm here early enough that no one has had time to correct Uncle Jingles.
People stopped bothering mostly. Be it the 120 points from 9000 blocked or the Fv4202 105mm gun. Maybe there's something else that I missed
@@lukamiler5824 yep you missed the three player platoon needed for BIA when it's only two

Ah yes, the famous 105mm of the 4202
when it was T10
In the mobile version (World of Tanks: Blitz) the 4202 is still a tier ten, and still has its 105mm gun
I've only ever got 1 crucial contribution medal, and not to throw shade on flamethrower and his platoon because 12 kills between the 3 of them is still impressive.

Are you sure you have to be three people in a platoon to be able to get Brothers-in-Arms? I recall getting it with only two people.
You are quite correct, just another Jingles moment
hey there you two, we're not here for facts you know
Churchill 3 along with matilda and valentine were the original Soviet premiums when in beta. KV5 came post beta IIRC
I did enjoy todays battles and thank you !
If you remove the weekspots, the only skill you have left with is gold
This was a good fight.
Thats all you should ask for.
Disagree
To be fair those weak spots were paper. The kv used to be a reverse side scraping machine
😂 and what do you do when your "Gold" ammo won't penetrate? 😱🤯😭
@@paulvamos7319ask WG to sell you Platinum ammo, of course 🤣😇
I didn't know the KV-5 was a drumkit.
So Dave is playing the part of the tank, hoping the DPS will start doing its job.
The real kicker of the first battle was the person on the KV5s team complaining about him not helping lol
Damn who knew the FV4202 had a 105mm gun? Never change Jingles
it used to I believe, just think of jingles videos as providing WoT history
Great video, thanks!
8:43 Apparently 8820 + 120 = 9000
Bri'ish math
The FV hasn't had the 105mm in a long time Jingles. Jeez this game has been going a while
JINGLES!!!! THE ASTON IS A DALEK LOOK AT IT THE PLUNGER MUZZLE THE ROUND TOP LOL HOW DID YOU MISS THAT LOL
Actually, Jingles, FV4020 does not have a 105mm gun, only 83.40mm, and that's why it reloads almost as fast as the intraclip on Astron.
You don't need 3 members in the toon to get the brother in arms medal. You can do with just two, but all members do have to have at least 3 kills and have to survive.
Jingles moments abound... GG.
You especially don't want to get rammed by one if 06Wallst is driving it with his FCM 50t engines behind him!
Unless they changed it, you can get a brother in arms with just 2 people.
the loss game looked like damn near every WOT game I played.
I won many scouting awards in a lowe...
The Astron Rex turret looks like a Dalek.
The world is going to sh!t so I watch Jingles.

Long past the time when we got a credit for every pint of damage blocked.
It actually only has to be 2 members in a platoon with 3 kills each that survive.
The 4202 hasn't had a 105mm since it was bumped down from tier 10. I swear he's doing it deliberately at this point.
truly a shame, if the VK just had the decency to die a few meters ahead of where he did, the KV-5 would have had such perfect cover
a couple notes about the kv5
it only got a 20mm buff on the r2d2, so very much still a weak spot considering 160mm (post buff) is still well below average tier 8 standard pen
