I've just introduced my dad into this game and he is a completely free to play player. I activated the code for your captain last night for him, and I woke up this morning after watching this video to find him downstairs, playing on his laptop, in his Queen Elizabeth, with you as a captain. I am so proud of him.
Since i have a Captain Jingles, my life has changed. I've had a pay rise, i've been accepted to the Lions club, and women in lust throw themselves at me in the streets (elsewhere too).
Does the Captain Jingles have any boni, except beeing so gentle, eloquent and a bit kinky? I mean something like the "first Wind" or consumables enhanced?
I have played 3 Random Battles, all of which was spent stressed and berated for lack of knowing the maps, the strats and the Expectations. While I was only berated by one person, the offender went as far as to try to add me to steam and continue there. I SMH, decided that perhaps, I should just enjoy my co-op time. Keep in mind, I also have optic neuritis, and am partially blind in my right eye, the blind spot occupies the minimap. still love the gameplay. Cheers Lads n Lasses. /Salute Jingles.
Unfortunately toxic players who take games way to seriously are a part of multiplayer games today, continue having fun and if you try again I wish you good luck 🍀🤞
Kinda the same with me i used to play both WOT and WOWS, even tho they have mechanical problems within the game which made me stop playing it wasnt the only reason i stopped. the insults and berating so vile/mean/evil/cruel/toxic it should be considered a toxic waste dump, is what made me stop. and that fact this came from a "high status streamer in the wows community and his chat" is just the cherry on top. even tho im sure he didnt mean anything bad by the "advise" he gave. he just came across as mean, disrespectful, arrogant and not understanding towards ppl who isnt in the same skill bracket as him. and for anyone curious enough to who that is. Since i am the way i am i dont give two shits about Naming and Shaming. its Flambass.
Yeah whenever someone says anything remotely annoying in chats, even if its not directed at me I just block them. Dont care what they have to say, its just distracting me from the game.
@@swedeonhisway8608 Yeah, FlambASS has completely forgotten (or has never known in the first place) what it's like not to be a new non-super-unicum player. His rants on stream do make him a bit of an ass at times. I've never actually seen him get toxic in chat though.
When I first got the Jingles captain, I kept hearing "I've sunk a friendly destroyer". Bloody heck, how did I do that...... FINALLY I figured out it was a Jinglism. It still gives me heart attacks.......
@@tracytron7162 a play on a scene in spaceballs where they parodize star wars lightspeed. Best scene in the movie btw is the one where big helmet realizes he is surrounded by assholes ( as in a family name lol ). This is closely followed by "I am your fathers brothers cousins former roomate"....yes they went there, the entire movie went to that place^^ Edit; also one of the few movie uploads to youtube that haven't been purged yet ironically. Probably because you need to be in on mel brooks to even know about it so the search algortim don't exactly see it come up.
@@Solus749 The payoff for the "father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate." is the follow up; "What does that make us? - Absolutely nothing. Which is what you are about to become.". It actually ends up kind of badass(for this movie's standards). Anyway, awesome movie.
Thank you for talking briefly about Co-op battles, Jingles. Personally I fall into the "zero toxicity" and "just mindless fun" category. While Co-op will never be as challenging as Randoms it isn't all button mashing at higher tiers, either. You still need to learn about angling, what ships can over match your armor and when to use the right type of ammunition.
I can totally feel this, although I am one of the toxic randomers myself. I play Heroes of the Storm exclusively against bots and abhor the chat in competitive play.
Actually Jingles, the Tenryu has it’s torpedo launchers on the centerline of the ship. The Tenryu is almost a giant desytoyer pretending to be a cruiser. Actually Jingles, the Japanese built the Satsuma (sister of Kawachi) before HMS Dreadnought was built. Actually Jingles, shotguns are best at short range and not suitable for naval battles at all unless you plan on... *Jingles?*
@@atomicsteameng Amen. Back then, one didn't have to worry about some screenwriter, director, and/or producer make a movie that was preaching to the moviegoers about some political issue. They made the movie for entertainment.
@@Knallteute it was actually a pretty decent Navy for the time (awesome Ships like the Kaiser, Derflinger or Bayern). Clearly no match for the mighty brrrrrritish Navy but still decent. :)
Of course, the REAL reason they took the Ops bots away is because they still had the cheat modes turned on. Co-op bots cheat and know where the closest opponent ship is at all times. They can't aim at you, but they know where you're at and chase you if your HP is low enough to trigger their routines. I've tested this by taking a DD into co-op and being the only one on my team, turn around and head in the most idiotic, un-destroyer position capable, and they damn things STILL knew where I was and headed towards me, often at their detriment as the rest of the team got free broadside shots. You cannot use stealth at all against them and they know when you fire torpedoes because the INSTANT you do they start turning, even if they're too far away to detect them. And of course they use aimbots (natch) which hit with more precision than any human. Those cheats are fine enough with the stupid bots as that's what they need to remain a threat. But add all of those advantages onto the better AI and it's no surprise win rates fell. Still, as a player who does almost all Co-op, I wanted the harder bots and was disappointed that they were taken away; I just wanted their cheating turned off. I play co-op mainly because of the toxicity of asshole players; I work in customer service and security, so I get enough crap from the real world, I don't need a gutless keyboard warrior talk to me like I'm a subhuman for not being perfect at playing with pixels. My blood pressure is high enough thank you. But more challenge with the bots would be nice, and I'd love it if Wargaming had a "Hard Co-op" (or whatever you'd call it) game mode with smarter bots, though I'd also like it to have some better rewards than regular co-op. Probably not as good as Random PvP, but better than the pittance regular co-op gives you.
Thanks for confirming my long time suspicions that bots in Ops know where players are without being spotted. A long time ago I was in my Kamikaze in Defense of Newport operation, the bot CV made a beeline for me since I was the last ship alive even though I hadn’t been spotted for a few minutes. Since then I suspected in Ops bots don’t play by the rules set for humans.
@@Love2Cruise Yeah, they know where you're at and they know where you're going, too; I've had moments where I duck behind an island and the bot is still spotted by a teammate, and I make a turn to head a different direction, and the thing turns to try and head me off. I know it's following me because I can then turn back the original direction and the bot attempts to once again follow. Definitely cheating, which again is fine for the dumber AI, but when you've got a higher grade the cheating needs to be turned down or off.
Another thing that I have noticed about the bots is that they seem to prioritize certain ships above others regardless of tactical situation. Take the Pensacola for example. It seems to be a huge bot magnet for some reason. I once was playing Pensacola and witnessed a bot BB, that was being attacked by multiple friendly ships at close to mid range, turn its guns and fire at my poor ship from more than halfway across the map the moment I was spotted, along with all the other bots that could manage to get a firing solution on me. Maybe it is just my imagination, but I haven't had the same trouble with other ships I've played.
Their torpedo behaviour is actually something you can abuse. Aim the torps using the lead indicator, then press x to de-select them as a target, then fire. They only know you fired torps at them if they are your active target when firing. :)
I know that Jingles doesn't like showing lower-level battles, but I do enjoy seeing ships that I have never seen before. It makes the video so much fresher.
I will never forget the time I got called “random battle trash” and to “never play co-op”again in Co-op. He died to a 3 bots because he charged a flank alone in a cruiser. We still won the battle.
Often the worst are the most quick to throw others under the bus. The best retort is "well you're already dead and I'm not (or if possible, top score)"
Be sure, quoting a science fiction fantasy epos character, owned by Disney, doesn't get you in legal trouble. 😉 you never know... they are tge EA of Hollywood after all
I play a lot of co-op with my dad. He had a stroke so he can only use his right hand, and very, very limited use of his left. I got him an MMO mouse and binded movement and ammo switch to it, as well as R. It's not a perfect solution, but he gets along. And I myself do like Co-op because people are more chill, imo. Though the afk people irk the hell out of me. Edit: also, since we were all there once, at low tiers I'll ask "have you played for a while" or not. I then give a brief overview, and also beg people with torps "please, do NOT torp if ally is in front. You get penalized". I try to be nice since we were all noobs once.
I am pretty sure, you could also buy pedals, the ones for racing games to add more easy accessable "buttons", even if wows doesn't support it directly, you should be able to integrate them with a keymapper.
It's also a great place to have some good old fashioned BB brawls, since bots are too dumb to take advantage of pretty much anything. For me there is something cathartic about getting in a Bismarck, punching full speed ahead, watching the secondaries fly and still have a good chance at surviving.
I was gonna say the same thing, but there were actually _two_ Tenryus on that team - one bot and one human (one assumes). The bot Tenryu was the first ship on the team to die, at 8:44 Then, at 9:18 , up in the top right hand corner of the map, actual, real life, flesh and blood Admiral sumthinorother was a little careless with his torpedoes.
when i was young and our gaming group where playing dota and CS , one of our players did not have hands, he played with his feet and honestly you could not tell, he was amazin at it
I once upon a time played a game with a guy with no arms or legs, he played with his nose. People complained he wasn't this or that, no one cared that he was disabled, only that he wasn't as good as they felt he should be. I am autistic, and people in warships use Autistic as a slur to mean you suck.
Thank you very much for mentioning people with physical and mental handicaps. I know one player that is dyslexic and this game is actually helping them control it, and another with physical injuries & and arthritis that effect control. And yes, there are some jerks and children that throw tantrums, but they are seemingly becoming fewer, thankfully. There is a learning curve for noobs. I do appreciate it when they ask questions of the players. They can learn from players with more experience. I remember one player who torped me and sunk my ship. He immediately apologized, and was dumfounded I was not mad. Like you say "Ship Happens". It's just a game, not for real, thankfully.
I am autistic and have been in many matches where people use Autistic to mean one sucks as they complain about bad players. Even have had many people send post battle messages to verbally assault me further because I don't stay in spectate after I sink, I get in another ship and join a new match. I have black listed so many people for their bs that I tend to have 2 or 3 on every team pre-black listed when the match starts!
I use the Jingles voice for all my captains - there’s a check box in settings somewhere. It honestly has kept me playing. And I am a big Operations fan for the same reasons you give for CO-OP - my day job gives me all the stress I need, thank you. Appreciate the video, the voice-over, and your take on the game.
Co-op battles are also great for 'I haven't played in a while, what are the buttons again?' I'm not awful, but I often go many weeks without playing a game. A Coop battle or three is great to 'remember' what you're doing.
Finally!! First in this time to enjoy Jingles content before anyone else! Looking forward to get another Captain Jingles to put on my Hood, he'll go well with his twin on my HMS Warspite.
when you were talking about the bots at low tier, you forgot the primary contender: SEA. This server (which i am unfortunate enough to have to play on) has the smallest server population and it's known in WoT as that one server that has the bots also another major reason as to why people play coop battles is (especially in SEA) the low server population simply means it takes far too long to find a match in a regular battle
Co-op is also a valid way to practice basic ship-handling skills, like how much lead to give your shots or how your vessel responds to rudder commands when dodging torpedoes or maneuvering around islands.
I once used coop for this, absolutely is the best way to get a feel for a ship, every time I take a new ship into random I die! in fact, it wouldn't be warships if I survived the maiden voyage in a random!
THANK YOU JINGLES! I have been searching for you as a captain and grinding toward the anchorage playing every day. Now i get to hear your voice call out the wrong ships every time I fail at the grind! God bless you sir!
Thanks Jingles, that was a great video. I will add though, that I routinely see veteran players, often in coordinated squads, sailing at Tier III. Some seal-clubbing for sure, but some of us old-timers still get our jinglies off by close-quarter gun! gun! gun! whoosh-torpedoes! naval combat. Plus there's no radar :)
I know this video is months old but for those of us watching it later in life: Fun fact about the South Carolina is that there were plans to configure her in a similar fashion to the Dreadnought due to the Navy not trusting the structural soundness of the turret roof to withstand overpressure from the 12" gun firing above it, let alone two of them. However, Congress intervened and slashed the budget for what they saw as an experimental ship and thus cementing the 18knt top speed and super firing 12" gun turrets instead of the planned 21 knot ship with more guns (albeit with wing turrets and same broadside weight, no superfiring guns.)
I think that PvtSirPeter should be commended with coming up with the ramming idea too as he says in chat before Halfhoot guns the engines and rams the S Carolina. He was really helpful in the chat so he seems to be a pretty good back seat captain!
I've been playing quite a few battles in co op recently too. The low tier epochs of the navy campaign was horrible in regular games so just steamrolled through it in co op. In the process discovering just how fun it is to have a 40s reload on two sets of quad torpedo launchers each side. In one very Michael bay game I killed half of the enemy team in under five minutes, with not one but two instances of sailing between two guys and fining all the torpedoes at once. In contrast to tier nine and ten DDs where everything needs to be planned out a billion steps ahead and there are radars everywhere, it was actually surprisingly cathartic fun.
I really don't get the concept "I don't like coop so coop battles are useless and should be cancelled". You don't like them, you don't play them. Period. Another example of people putting their mouth in others things. And just to be clear, I play coop only when I'm having problems knocking out some mission and time Is running short.
Actually the Co-Op battles are quite fun, especially at lower Tiers. There's no hiding behind islands or anything, just tons of crazy drive-bys. They're also great for getting a feel for what a ship can do in terms of aiming, and practicing on a range of either fast or slow targets, angled or not. Not to mention learning the terrain on various maps to know where you can use your ship effectively. The alternative is hopping into a Random battle and getting cursed at by everyone for being a potato.
I use co-op for almost all of my major mission and directive grinding. It may take a few more battles, but I don't want to contribute to the toxicity of Random by being there to YOLO torp for hits and not care who wins or loses.
Coop - Short, brutal battles between small teams that rush headlong at each other with little regard for personal survival or trying to blame everyone else for your mistakes. It's glorious! I even met Jingles himself in a coop battle once. He'd just finished the Missouri grind and was testing it out, it was either his first or second game in it, I was in mine, and we had a stonking great time bulldozing through the opposition!
I love the Nassau. I charged straight between two enemies and fired 3 of my turrets into the broadside of one of them and sunk him. Realized my other 3 guns were pointing at the other guy, fired into his flat broadside and sank him too. Battleship guns akimbo!
Only in Co-Op battles can you take a Torpedo cruiser between two battleships and fire torpedoes at both at the same time. You can never do this with random battles due to players running away as fast as they can and camping on the map borders.
Jingles has valiantly led me to numerous victories aboard the HMS Cossack. I look forward to the day with great anticipation that I will have a Jingles transporter clone to sail yet another of Her Majesty's Ships
11:11 I ask everyone in the future reading this and people rewatching Jingles, to pray for these people who can’t play like we can, and thank God that He has allowed us to be fortunate enough to enjoy these simple things that are only special to us
Jingles Thanks for posting the 2nd video. I am squarely seated in that group for mulitipal reasons. However right now it is due Mostly too a busted arm. So I know the feeling.
Amaziing! I missed you the 1st time around, and I was afraid that I was going to miss you again, since I'm gonna be working for me thesis until November. But now I can get you muahah
watching your videos is much more fun than actually playing WoWS. I keep getting shoved into matches where i am the only T6 in a room full of T8 ships...
Adm. Jingles, the Admiralty has announced that the Bismarck has been sighted in the North Sea. You are commanded and required to take command of HMS Hood at your earliest convenience.
@The Mighty Jingles Your videos are always entertaining, yet informational and educational. Thank you for sharing. I did not know you could still win if all ships were lost. I just assumed it would end as a draw.
Another reason to play co-op is to try out that new ship, make decisions about how you want to equip it, find out how it handles, etc before taking it into randoms. I find that especially true for cv's where getting the plane speed and attack run aiming can be hard at first.
Thanks for posting the low level Co-op match, I've been quite interested and enjoy watching these videos. I've been putting off getting the game because I have big issues with doing any sort of PVP, Knowing I can play against bots will let me at least try the game.
I've just introduced my dad into this game and he is a completely free to play player.

Co-op is the perfect place to go flog the snot out of something after getting stressed out and smashed in random or ranked battles.
It's also a great place to have some good old fashioned BB brawls, since bots are too dumb to take advantage of pretty much anything.
For me there is something cathartic about getting in a Bismarck, punching full speed ahead, watching the secondaries fly and still have a good chance at surviving.

He a little confused but he got the spirit
I was gonna say the same thing, but there were actually _two_ Tenryus on that team - one bot and one human (one assumes).
The bot Tenryu was the first ship on the team to die, at 8:44
Then, at 9:18 , up in the top right hand corner of the map, actual, real life, flesh and blood Admiral sumthinorother was a little careless with his torpedoes.
Imagine my suprise when the 3v3 ranked sprint match was only tier 9 premiums
when i was young and our gaming group where playing dota and CS , one of our players did not have hands, he played with his feet and honestly you could not tell, he was amazin at it
I once upon a time played a game with a guy with no arms or legs, he played with his nose. People complained he wasn't this or that, no one cared that he was disabled, only that he wasn't as good as they felt he should be. I am autistic, and people in warships use Autistic as a slur to mean you suck.
@@myopicautisticmetal9035 are you alright ?
So you're telling me that Spitfires fly over your house on a regular basis? 14:10
well it IS Jingles sooo ... yeah. those were probably spitfires
@@StumpyDaPaladin Remember he is getting kitchen renovations done this week. You can hear cutting and banging in the background.
@@Panzermeister36 A V12 merlin powered jigsaw I hear then?
Thank you very much for mentioning people with physical and mental handicaps. I know one player that is dyslexic and this game is actually helping them control it, and another with physical injuries & and arthritis that effect control. And yes, there are some jerks and children that throw tantrums, but they are seemingly becoming fewer, thankfully. There is a learning curve for noobs. I do appreciate it when they ask questions of the players. They can learn from players with more experience.
I remember one player who torped me and sunk my ship. He immediately apologized, and was dumfounded I was not mad. Like you say "Ship Happens". It's just a game, not for real, thankfully.
I am autistic and have been in many matches where people use Autistic to mean one sucks as they complain about bad players. Even have had many people send post battle messages to verbally assault me further because I don't stay in spectate after I sink, I get in another ship and join a new match. I have black listed so many people for their bs that I tend to have 2 or 3 on every team pre-black listed when the match starts!
0:39 But will that code get me a Turbo Man action figure? It's the hottest new toy of the Christmas season, everybody's gotta have one!
That cunning plan, I knew, the moment you brought it up Jingles, that since Halfoo has more points than the enemy team, he can ram the SC and win.
The content on the channel is great keep up the good work
>Musashi and Georgia
>very good picks in 3v3
Pommern: "Allow me to introduce myself"
I showed up 3 days late for my Captain Jingles, life is pain
I saw the Ben Hur thumbnail and I fangirled.
I use the Jingles voice for all my captains - there’s a check box in settings somewhere. It honestly has kept me playing. And I am a big Operations fan for the same reasons you give for CO-OP - my day job gives me all the stress I need, thank you. Appreciate the video, the voice-over, and your take on the game.
A SMS Nassau going for a ram... Historically accurate I would say.
Enjoyed it immensely Jingles....Very nice showing how Ram can be a strategy and how low tier learning is part of the game. Kudo's sir.
The Fiji is one of my favorites. So when I got my own personal Jingles there was no other consideration. Fiji/Jingles for the win.
Co-op battles are also great for 'I haven't played in a while, what are the buttons again?'
I'm not awful, but I often go many weeks without playing a game. A Coop battle or three is great to 'remember' what you're doing.
Finally!! First in this time to enjoy Jingles content before anyone else! Looking forward to get another Captain Jingles to put on my Hood, he'll go well with his twin on my HMS Warspite.
when you were talking about the bots at low tier, you forgot the primary contender: SEA. This server (which i am unfortunate enough to have to play on) has the smallest server population and it's known in WoT as that one server that has the bots
also another major reason as to why people play coop battles is (especially in SEA) the low server population simply means it takes far too long to find a match in a regular battle
I have made the Happy Mistake of Using Jingles as a Captain in Clan Battles and getting really anxious when he said "Enemy Destroyer Spotted"
"jinglealltheway" kinda reminds me of "82nd all the way" by sabaton^^
Co-op is also a valid way to practice basic ship-handling skills, like how much lead to give your shots or how your vessel responds to rudder commands when dodging torpedoes or maneuvering around islands.
I once used coop for this, absolutely is the best way to get a feel for a ship, every time I take a new ship into random I die! in fact, it wouldn't be warships if I survived the maiden voyage in a random!
THANK YOU JINGLES! I have been searching for you as a captain and grinding toward the anchorage playing every day. Now i get to hear your voice call out the wrong ships every time I fail at the grind! God bless you sir!
The day i got into wows i used your promo to get you and the warspite and i am truly greatful for that and i have enjoyed the game ever since then
Thank you. Grabbed my Captain Jingles this morning. And yes your commanding my Warspite.
Oh my god! I can put him on HMS Warspite AND HMS Hood!
A second The Mighty Jingles captain, you're the best Jingles, Thanks 🥳🇬🇧
Thanks Jingles, that was a great video. I will add though, that I routinely see veteran players, often in coordinated squads, sailing at Tier III. Some seal-clubbing for sure, but some of us old-timers still get our jinglies off by close-quarter gun! gun! gun! whoosh-torpedoes! naval combat. Plus there's no radar :)
I know this video is months old but for those of us watching it later in life: Fun fact about the South Carolina is that there were plans to configure her in a similar fashion to the Dreadnought due to the Navy not trusting the structural soundness of the turret roof to withstand overpressure from the 12" gun firing above it, let alone two of them. However, Congress intervened and slashed the budget for what they saw as an experimental ship and thus cementing the 18knt top speed and super firing 12" gun turrets instead of the planned 21 knot ship with more guns (albeit with wing turrets and same broadside weight, no superfiring guns.)
I think that PvtSirPeter should be commended with coming up with the ramming idea too as he says in chat before Halfhoot guns the engines and rams the S Carolina. He was really helpful in the chat so he seems to be a pretty good back seat captain!
very considered narrative thank you you are a nice guy for remembering those less able
Boats, boats, boats, thank you jingleyman, for the boats show.
I've been playing quite a few battles in co op recently too. The low tier epochs of the navy campaign was horrible in regular games so just steamrolled through it in co op. In the process discovering just how fun it is to have a 40s reload on two sets of quad torpedo launchers each side. In one very Michael bay game I killed half of the enemy team in under five minutes, with not one but two instances of sailing between two guys and fining all the torpedoes at once.
In contrast to tier nine and ten DDs where everything needs to be planned out a billion steps ahead and there are radars everywhere, it was actually surprisingly cathartic fun.
I really don't get the concept "I don't like coop so coop battles are useless and should be cancelled".
You don't like them, you don't play them. Period. Another example of people putting their mouth in others things.
And just to be clear, I play coop only when I'm having problems knocking out some mission and time Is running short.
Actually the Co-Op battles are quite fun, especially at lower Tiers. There's no hiding behind islands or anything, just tons of crazy drive-bys.
They're also great for getting a feel for what a ship can do in terms of aiming, and practicing on a range of either fast or slow targets, angled or not.
Not to mention learning the terrain on various maps to know where you can use your ship effectively.
The alternative is hopping into a Random battle and getting cursed at by everyone for being a potato.
I use co-op for almost all of my major mission and directive grinding. It may take a few more battles, but I don't want to contribute to the toxicity of Random by being there to YOLO torp for hits and not care who wins or loses.
Coop - Short, brutal battles between small teams that rush headlong at each other with little regard for personal survival or trying to blame everyone else for your mistakes. It's glorious! I even met Jingles himself in a coop battle once. He'd just finished the Missouri grind and was testing it out, it was either his first or second game in it, I was in mine, and we had a stonking great time bulldozing through the opposition!
@@stoneymahoney9106 Yup, perfect for ships like the Massachusetts that like to get up close and brawl
@@jamesfogel7998 I don't think I've ever got less than 3 kills in my Okhotnik playing coop
1:03 - "This is getting out of hand. Now, there are TWO of them."
I love the Nassau. I charged straight between two enemies and fired 3 of my turrets into the broadside of one of them and sunk him. Realized my other 3 guns were pointing at the other guy, fired into his flat broadside and sank him too.
Battleship guns akimbo!
Only in Co-Op battles can you take a Torpedo cruiser between two battleships and fire torpedoes at both at the same time. You can never do this with random battles due to players running away as fast as they can and camping on the map borders.
Excellent way to wake up on my day off, grandkids in the house and a new Jingles video waiting. Life is good!
The thumbnail is awesome Jingles...(Judah) Ben-Hur...one of my all time favorite movies (yes I have a few years on you). Well done!
Excellent movie reference Jingles. And thanks for another good video as well.
My Captain Jingles is on my Orion because its my highest teir British Ship
Also
"Prepare for Ramming Speed!!!!"
Don't worry, Jingles; you're already on my Warspite with the National camo.
Jingles has valiantly led me to numerous victories aboard the HMS Cossack. I look forward to the day with great anticipation that I will have a Jingles transporter clone to sail yet another of Her Majesty's Ships
I just unlocked you and game you the graitest spots of all my british ships. You're now my captain on the implacable :D
I have 2 Jingles now. My Salt Mines have seen a 300% raise of output.
11:11 I ask everyone in the future reading this and people rewatching Jingles, to pray for these people who can’t play like we can, and thank God that He has allowed us to be fortunate enough to enjoy these simple things that are only special to us
Jingles Thanks for posting the 2nd video. I am squarely seated in that group for mulitipal reasons. However right now it is due Mostly too a busted arm. So I know the feeling.
I just saw this and bummer, would have enjoyed a Jingles Captain
Amaziing! I missed you the 1st time around, and I was afraid that I was going to miss you again, since I'm gonna be working for me thesis until November. But now I can get you muahah
I still love running around with Jingles telling me the wrong things ie Submarine spotted, we sunk and allied destroyer lol so much fun
watching your videos is much more fun than actually playing WoWS. I keep getting shoved into matches where i am the only T6 in a room full of T8 ships...
My 1rst Jingles is on Goliath. But I'll get a second just for you and the warspite
I love Jingle's pronunciation of the word "colon". ;p
I am not a good player. Its encouraging to hear Jingles say some good things to the scrubs like me, stuck under Tier 4 and still learning
Thanks for saying what other folks won't, that's why your the mighty one....
Adm. Jingles, the Admiralty has announced that the Bismarck has been sighted in the North Sea. You are commanded and required to take command of HMS Hood at your earliest convenience.
2 jingles? WE'RE IDENTICAL!
I have Jingles on my Belfast, because it's such a good ship even he can't screw it up lol
Thank you Jingles for continually making great videos...i have been a long time fan ever since the wonky graphics days of WOT.
@The Mighty Jingles
Your videos are always entertaining, yet informational and educational. Thank you for sharing. I did not know you could still win if all ships were lost. I just assumed it would end as a draw.
Waking up on a Friday morning, and the day starts off GREAT. Thanks for the code and YT Video Jingles.
CHEERS MATE!!!
I finally get a Commander Jingles! Now I too can be perpetually confused! Yay!
Ironically I always use my Jingles on the Warspite!!
Great videos and commentary....... and advice too!
TWO Captain Jingles? Can time and space stand the strain!
The Nassau has been the BB I had the most fun (and therefore my most successful)... I kept it for 4 years!!!
Thumbs up for the the Ben Hur thumbnail!
You forgot the best reason to play coop battles jingles, you can play it drunk with your mates while eating the take out pizza.
had to redeem it straight away, for the second Capt. Jingles
only 2 hours in likely my best time to watch a new episode of Jingles
Another reason to play co-op is to try out that new ship, make decisions about how you want to equip it, find out how it handles, etc before taking it into randoms. I find that especially true for cv's where getting the plane speed and attack run aiming can be hard at first.
Thanks for posting the low level Co-op match, I've been quite interested and enjoy watching these videos. I've been putting off getting the game because I have big issues with doing any sort of PVP, Knowing I can play against bots will let me at least try the game.
I haven't played in ages and already have Jingles as captain, but now i am reinstalling just to get a second one 😁😂
Your new intro is so good! I love it. Keep up the awesome videos!
Jingles, everyone has a Capt Jingles. Every damn game that I play, almost all the players have you as their "voice". You're a fuckin' legend!!!
Thank you Jingles!
I really enjoy these below-tier-7-battles we occaisonally get \o/
I've been playing for 5 years and I learned it in the 3v3 ranked sprint xD
