The fact that HMS Warspite was not preserved as a memorial ship is outright heresy. I would have loved to go see her at the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard , and I'm a Swede for crying out loud!
All we’ve got in HMS Belfast which isn’t even in Belfast and HMS Victory which is a pile of wood and should be used as a kamikaze ship to crash into Sevastopol
@@TOleablemonk You just make that happen. End of discussion. In a war-ravaged Britain after WW2 it might have been money well spend, as the British people were really down-trodden. Which is a shame, they were the real heros of WW2 in my view. Just being proud of themselves when visiting "HMS Warspite Museum" might have supported morale. But I am just guessing here. BTW I am German and I am so saddened that I can't visit her and USS Enterprise (CV-6). Have both as brick models. 🙂
I think many of the preserved US ships are entirely donor supported. Some may be supported by the states or cities whose names they bear, but I don't know of any that are federally funded.
@@Metal_Auditor stalrunner The Iowas were federally funded until 2006 or so, and they are kept in condition that they can be rapidly reactivated from. The movie Battleship paid for Mighty Mo's last dry dock. Texas and North Carolina are in much worse condition.

Jingles didn't mention it, but her steering gear plagued her till the day she was scrapped, patchy repairs, including fucking *concrete* left Britain with no choice but to break her up for scrap. At least she had a more noble end than Royal Sovereign.
May have been said elsewhere, but I haven't found it. The Enterprise v. Warspite argument is hardly worth the effort. The real crime is the failure of our two governments to preserve these two legends for future generations to learn about and appreciate
I'm sorry but that is why I don't like her design. ;-). She looks a bit too blocky for my taste. Instead I'm looking forward to the Bismarck and Scharnhorst :-). But I grant you that, she seems to be a tough nut to crack :-)
It fell to bits whilst being towed to repair after WW2. We scattered my grandfathers ashes over the wreckage at St Michaels Mount in Cornwall as part of an ongoing tradition for the veterans of the ship
Britain after WW2 had way too much long term debt after WW2 and had to scrap almost every ship excecpt 1, the HMS Belfast is still not scrapped and it is preserved. they could have sold it to the USA or anthor country to preserve 9it but sadly they scrapped it

+armorhide406 Yeah, and normally I find it very nice looking on ships like the Kongo and Nagato, but the Fuso's is just far too tall for it to be aesthetically pleasing, at least for me.
Its both unimaginable and inexcusable that the British gov't didn't turn the Warspite into a museum ship, just as its equally unjustifiable that my gov't didn't save the USS Enterprise(CV-6) from the scrap heap.
HighlanderNorth1 Pretty sure that US has preserved enough ships as it is. USS Constitution, USS Texas, All the Iowa Class battleships, several other carriers, and that’s just including the stuff we kept after World War II, as I there is at least one Cold War era sub that’s been turned into a museum ship.
The USN preserved the fucking Constitution, and the Texas, but _not_ the ship that won them the Pacific. One of _the_ most legendary ships of all time. Like how how do you do that How do you look at the USS Enterprise and be like "eh whatever scrap it"
Here we are 7 years later and not only do we have a full British tech tree but we have Battlecruisers now as well. I love my Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary. Even if I'm sweating bullets in the Queen Mary when a battleship starts to shoot at me. "EEEEE, AAAH WOAH, GUH RRRR OH NO my armor!! Scheiße...

52 minute video because jingles is a nationalist, if this ship was American or German the video would not be 52 minutes, rightfully so however, good video btw:)
I would correct a detail. When HMS Warspite left the Med for repairs and refitting, she went to the west Coast of the U. S. She was refitted at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington.
It was so much fun to watch this extremely old video in 2023. I was laughing at the guy in chat that said ''can't wait for the rest of the british tech tree'' since we have a cv-line, 2 bb-lines, a dd-line, 2 cruiser-lines en an upcoming submarine-line
***** I think we should organize group dinings online while watching Jingles videos. We just have to ask him for his uploading schedule to plan out our meetings.
Jingles. What I like about you is this: Your honesty! You show us your videos where you win and where you lose. But, you show us videos of just fantastic battles. I appreciate that which you do. Just wanted to let you know.
Jingles, how did you get HUD free footage of the same battles? I was under the impression that there wasn't a replay system, yet it looks like there is one, from observing the same battles twice.
Thanks jingles for great videos. Me and my 6 year old son love watching your videos. he also loves tanks and more so warships he was so happy that you started playing world of war ships. and directory due to you playing and now me playing it. he adding and taking way has improved hand over fist. i would like to say thank you. as he asking me how i know were to shoot etc so i use warship in his maths home work and he loves it. Sorry for the spelling i am dyslexic
Among the most magnificent ship-classes ever built and represented here by the best of the class! Thank you Wargaming! Jingles, your love of the Royal Navy literally rings in the timber of your voice when you talk about this ship! Bravo sir, and thank you for your loyal service to your nation. Kyle
Illya Lypyak Some Datas of the Bismarcl are already included in the game. You just can´t use them now because.... well... reasons. But, if Wargaming decides to add the Bismarck as a premium ship... Ragemode
Snipera - senpai If there's going to be a premium Bismarck it's going to be the Tirpitz. But that would be kind of weird since the Bismarck class should be one of the higher tiers, IX or X, depending of how many H class battleships they add in the game.
PedroMM193 I think it would make more sense to have the Tirpitz as the regular ship and the Bismarck as the premium. The Tirpitz went through a modification so it has a precedent for upgrades that the Bismarck does not.
PedroMM193 Bismark is the premium tier 8. How on earth would it be tier 9 or 10? She is potentially under-gunned even at tier 8 opposed to Amagi and North Carolina. Bismark is the premium and Tirpitz the main line ship simply because the premium should be inferior to the main line ship and Tirpitz continued being upgraded (especially radar and AA) long after Bismark sank. Plus it will make wargaming lots of money of course.
i don't intend to make you feel older jingles, but listening to the story of one of my favorite royal navy ships, being told by you, was one of the best bed time story's i've ever had to listen to.
Aww... Jingles is in love. Jingles and the Warspite sitting in a tree... ;) I enjoyed the little historical lecture as I am one of those who have been aware of the HMS Warspite for a long time, but have read very little about her.
Another great review from the mighty jingles, I will be getting this, it looks hard to play but good for experienced admirals, like the Lowe in WOT if you know how to play it you can do well, but if you're a NOOB then you will probably not drive it like a boss immediately!!
I have loved your vids from tanks way before ships. You recommended WoW Beta and I got my lil Zao Yubari, a Gremy and have played only Warships since. I love the Warspite but always struggled to bring her guns to bear. I remembered a vid of yours years ago and re-watched it. YOUR WARSPITE VID IS SO EPIC THE ENTIRE WoW COMUNTY NEEDS TO WATCH IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. I have used your tips and tricks and have been wrecking T8 games in her. Positioning, a few blap's from a direction they don't expect and soon ya got em on the run. Then today in a Tier ten match, I ambushed and Dev struck a Thunderer. 90,000 damage in a 30 knt drive by in my Atago. Then fought off Midway attacks for 5 minutes. Sunk her as well, for the win. It was too easy and no joy from sinking new players. I have use Warspite successfully in training new players because her commands are easy to understand. Flambass vid HMS UNSINKABLE for him putting her bag of tricks to use and he also talks about map tactics. Thank you again. aka Dark_Nebulae
Storm’d at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode and well, Into the jaws of Death, Into the mouth of Hell Rode the six hundred. ........ Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon behind them Volley’d and thunder’d; Storm’d at with shot and shell, While horse and hero fell, They that had fought so well Came thro’ the jaws of Death, Back from the mouth of Hell, All that was left of them, Left of six hundred. When can their glory fade ? O the wild charge they made! All the world wonder’d. Honour the charge they made! Honour the Light Brigade, Noble six hundred! While watching you fire, and take fire from both sides, all I could think of was this poem, and the epicness it describes. Thanks again Jingles, I thoroughly enjoyed this!
Thanks Jingles for feeding my desire to play this game, I appreciate the way you share the historical data to help explain how the ship fits into the overall scheme of the game.
Rather bias my lord, although understandably so. It's rather over priced at the moment, for a T6 7500 tokens is too much. If it is to be reduce to ~5000, it's worth thinking, but definitely not now.
shiualex123 What do you expect? They are ships... it takes a hell of a lot more work to detail, model and animate a ship than it takes to detail model and animate a tank. You can understand where the price comes from because of the man hours it took to bring this to you,
shiualex123 everything about wargamings games is overpriced, a premium tier 8 heavy in WoT is $50, a year of premium account time is $100, and if you play on xbox you also need to pay an extra $60(at least) just to be able to look at your garage, at least with xbox live gold you get two free games a month
I know this is kinda an old video, but i really enjoy learning all these awesome things about the ships. Great video bud, please never stop making videos.
About time they let the RN (the REAL Navy) into the game. No, I'm not British - retired USN submariner - but I have nothing but respect for the Senior Service. Damn right that secondary battery is lethal. Got too close to a Warspite in my Phoenix one game - let's just say the phrase "ripped me a new one" doesn't begin to cover it. Not just destroyers, but lightly armored cruisers as well, best keep their distance from this ship. Might be worth the price of admission, just to upgrade that secondary battery, and troll unsuspecting novice destroyer captains.
@@cryptickaoz9494 Good grief...sorry... My Bad. I'm replying to multiple posts at once and got mixed up thinking I was on a "HMS Dorsetshire" video!!! Yes my father was in Warspite's boiler rooms too from May 1942 until Dec 1943 when he was posted to her sister HMS Valiant. Luckily he was "off watch" from his station on Warspite's evaporators at the time she was struck by the "Fritz X" at Salerno in Sept 1943. I've deleted my previous post due to embarrassment !!! Now got to go find the other thread... I've probably been posting about HMS Warspite on a HMS Dorsetshire video.
@@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684 haha no worries friend! My G-Grandfather was on duty in the boiler room when the fritz-x came in. Explosion threw his bare back against a boiler
This is the reason i follow you.... on youtube.. not outside your window... that would be weird... lol You always have so much information on the ships! The history, what they did in the wars, the captains of the ships. It's actually a good history lesson, not to mention explains how to use the ship in World of Warships. Thank you for doing what you do Mr. Jingles!
When the Royal Navy is finally introduced as a full faction in WOW, what would be its Tier X battleship? I'm thinking the never-built Lion-class with its nine 16-inch guns would be a likely choice.
+Ryan Takamiya HMS Vanguard for sure on par with Iowa class, a little slower . better fire control more accurate an more balanced ship.. Iwoa had bigger guns that is about the only thing it had over Vanguard
alex bull because history and stuff. if you don't know what i am talking about, watch a documentary about bismarck, then you'll understand. it took a lot to sink that thing. and that thing was a fearsome warship.
UnknownPerson onGoogle still, fighting ships that are weaker than itself is one of the things that made it good. it might not be as good in WoWs because they will have to balance it, but still.
the thing is about the bismarck is that its armament isnt that far off from the iowa class battleship it only has 1 less gun and they were only an inch smaller in diameter for a ship that was built i think 6 years before the iowa and considering how quickly things became out classed during ww2 i think the bismarcks firepower held up surprisingly well. plus the max speed was only 1kmh slower than the iowa. comparing these kind of stats is easy though comparing other stats like amour is more difficult which makes me think it will either be a tier 7 or 8 battleship in WoWs depending on the armour.
2:44 the HMS Warrior was saved, but on the way back to port, she foundered due to heavy damage sustained during the battle. Sh had been hit 21 times, 15 of those hits being from battleship-sized guns.
+Jeff Carver A mixture of old world war one line fire ships and then combined fleet combat ships as far as I can tell. The Lion will most likely be the Tier ten.
+John “Hammer” Box The last battleship commissioned in the world was the HMS Vanguard, she was a heavily modified Lion, so I am thinking she would be the tier 10. I am looking very forward to the RN, only other complete tech tree you can add, no other navy had multiple classes of CVs :D
Jeff Carver theres also many weird and wonderful designs which could be added as premiums, stuff like HMS Agincourt (a seized Ottoman battleship), HMS glorious prior to being converted to an aircraft carrier (2x18" British guns), also the salt will be real if they don't let us see the planned modernisation to hood when she's finally in the game
I knew of the Agincourt, the Ottomans were supposed to receive her right before the war started :D Is this the Glorious sunk in the Norway campagin? I heard the Admiral class(Hood)is going to be in the tier line, that would be amazing :D
Your knowledge on the History of the Tanks in WoTs and now the Ships in WoWS is astounding; I just love watching your vids for all the info you give us. Thx :)
I don't agree with Jingles when he says that after the refit in 1937, the Warspite was Britain's most powerful ship. The king George V-class and the Nelson-class were easily superior. The King George V-class may have had only 14-inch guns, but it had 10 of them, and could do a top speed of 28.3 knots, plus it also had 16 5.25-inch guns, which I think is superior to the Warspite's secondary armament. The Nelson-class could only do 23 knots, but it had 9 16-inch guns, an armament equivalent to the Iowa-class, and had 12 6-inch guns. The Nelson had a secondary armament equivalent to the primary armament of the Cleveland-class cruiser. Think about that. Also, both the Nelson-class and the King George V-class had superior armour to Warspite, even after Warspite's refit. Basically, the Warspite wasn't even the Royal Navy's best battleship, let alone warship.
Awesome video. Thank you very much, for the historical wisdom... I'm about to put "The Mighty Jingles" Captain into my Warspite, as soon as he has 10 points... He's been kicking epic ass, in the Orion and Dreadnought...
I appreciate these style of videos are getting difficult with the amount of made up or blueprint only ships in game is a little silly now, but would love to see more like this
I thought it was just going to be America and Japan when the game comes out but if their only making British ships now and including them already then this game won't be out any time soon.
aaron Gregor It's likely the British tree will be after launch. Britain and Germany didn't have Clashes involving Aircraft carriers and battleships on both sides, nor was the a distinct armament difference on cruisers of the period. America and Japan on the other had where chosen as the Pacific Conflicts would allow 2 navies to be implemented with character from the get go, Wargaming already have the American Battleships and Japanese Carriers in game, People have datamined the files, ready for launch.
James Bomber The post-WWII De Ruyter cruiser will probably not be in the game because it's too new I assume? The pre-WWII De Ruyter light cruiser that was lost in the Battle of the Java Sea isn't terribly impressive even though it was the Dutch flagship. I'm Dutch, but I would be surprised if any of these ships show up in this game, certainly not near the launch date. The Dutch navy was well past its prime in the era this game tries to emulate. I do expect a full line of German, Russian, Japanese, American, British and maybe even French and Italian ships.
The Royal Navy did just fight agains Germany but played a large role in recurring the Mediterranean and also played a key role in the Pacific war, Germany didn't really have a noticeable navy apart from Terpits and Bischmark
I wasn't saying the Germans and Brit's didn't clash, you misread my meaning. The British and Germans didn't have the same levels of Aircraft carrier useage, Honestly I can't think of a German Carrier, And if you didn't give the British BB's the world would be up in arms, Brits love their Battleships. Contrary to this, the Omission of BB's on the American line was not a huge issue issue as Midway means that most people with a small interest in Navies will think of Carriers when thinking to the US.
Jangles, best history teacher :P Im a tanks guy, knowing nothing about warships or aircrafts units and battles and I find Jingles mix of facts, jokes and being Jingles incredibly entertaining :)
No need to wonder, she's official in the game which is why I made the comment kancolle(dot)wikia(dot)com(slash)wiki(slash)Warspite Her rigging is a throne accessorized with crown, orb and scepter!
That was a great commentary Jingles. May I also add that the Warspite still holds the world record for a hit on a moving target at sea. I think that was a hit on the Guilio Cesar at 26400 yards in 1941.
I bought the Warspite with zero research and didn't know anything about her. Just bought her cause she was a Royal Navy and she a Battleship. The first battleship game I played in WoWS was in the Warspite and it was epic! I died, but I died in a glory of fire taking someone out from the grave with my final 15 inch salvo. Got three kills that game and fell in love her. Sure she has her problems, but she is awesome. I do agree with what Jingles says though, not a ship for new players. Gotta plan where you want those slow turrets pointing and get them there early. In all the games I have played in the Warspite, I can count the number of torps taken on a single hand. Great ship and would buy again! Great video Jingles!
I absolutely love the history Jingles supplies at the outset, even if the action on the screen behind his narrative consists of his beloved vessel getting whacked around unmercifully. For me, the actual game play that follows is just the icing on the cake!
Its funny he recommends this to "experienced BB players", yet there are no experienced BB players in wows as the game is in beta. I understand what he means, but a year from now Jingles will look back at this time and realize he was a noob during beta.
The Mighty Jingles I believe you misunderstood. The point was that the term "experienced" is relative. For instance: A lot of people considered themselves pro after playing WoT for 6 months (during open beta). Since tactics evolve and general knowledge of the game improve over the years, the standards on those players would be considered low today( in 2014). In the same way, there are no experienced players in WoWS today. In a year's time, the bar will be raised. Anyways, this was a good review. Keep it up.
The 8th Incarnation of "HMS Warspite" was a Nuclear Submarine and it's Honours Board was ridiculously heavy, especially on Submarines where Space is at a Premium, it weighed the same as two matelots. Even it's Ship's Crest is "Steely", a Cannon on a set of truck wheels. It's up there in my favourites, waiting for HMS Nelson and HMS Rodney, and then the beautiful HMS Vanguard. It's great seeing these ships being brought to life.
Great video; Bias, but great. I didn't buy the HMS Warspite for the two reasons you mention (gun range & turret rotation speed). But I have been killed by them. And it was quick. I was in my USS Cleveland. And now I can see why and have an idea of what to do. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Question... At 1:11 you said that it earned more battle honors than any warship that served in any nation in WWII... Does the USS Enterprise CV-6 not count? It earned 20 battle stars to the HMS Warspite's 14... Unless of course I'm misreading the Wikipedia entry, I'm always up for learning more and if it has more than that, please let me know... None of this discounts The HMS Warspite's impressive record, I just am a big fan of the CV-6 which is why I know its history off the top of my head... all I know of the Warspite is what you say in this video and what Wikipedia says. :)
Aircraft aren't ships they are cancer but in reality he could mean battleships in ww2 or non carriers or just jingles being jingles wait no please I dont want to go back to the salt mines
The fact that HMS Warspite was not preserved as a memorial ship is outright heresy. I would have loved to go see her at the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard

Doesnt he just
wargaming should hire him
or is he too busy in ze salt miiiinnneeessss
Jingles. What I like about you is this: Your honesty! You show us your videos where you win and where you lose. But, you show us videos of just fantastic battles. I appreciate that which you do.
Just wanted to let you know.
Jingles, how did you get HUD free footage of the same battles? I was under the impression that there wasn't a replay system, yet it looks like there is one, from observing the same battles twice.
BMWM3GTRLOVER Press Ctrl+G to play with no ui, and there is a replay function but you have to edit a game file to activate it.
May I ask which game file? Or is it a secret that I'm not allowed to know yet? :P
BMWM3GTRLOVER I can't remember precisely but somewhere on the EU forums is a dev post explaining how to do it.
OK
stay awesome!
The Mighty Jingles @19170
Many thanks to you Mr J,your short overview is one of the most beautiful pieces ive heard;very emotional too.
Thanks jingles for great videos. Me and my 6 year old son love watching your videos. he also loves tanks and more so warships he was so happy that you started playing world of war ships. and directory due to you playing and now me playing it. he adding and taking way has improved hand over fist. i would like to say thank you. as he asking me how i know were to shoot etc so i use warship in his maths home work and he loves it.
Sorry for the spelling i am dyslexic
Among the most magnificent ship-classes ever built and represented here by the best of the class! Thank you Wargaming!
Jingles, your love of the Royal Navy literally rings in the timber of your voice when you talk about this ship! Bravo sir, and thank you for your loyal service to your nation.

Now we just have to wait for the Bismarck
Illya Lypyak Some Datas of the Bismarcl are already included in the game. You just can´t use them now because.... well... reasons. But, if Wargaming decides to add the Bismarck as a premium ship... Ragemode
Snipera - senpai apparently thats exactly what theyre doing. ive heard that the bismarck will be a tier 8 prem
Snipera - senpai If there's going to be a premium Bismarck it's going to be the Tirpitz. But that would be kind of weird since the Bismarck class should be one of the higher tiers, IX or X, depending of how many H class battleships they add in the game.
PedroMM193 I think it would make more sense to have the Tirpitz as the regular ship and the Bismarck as the premium. The Tirpitz went through a modification so it has a precedent for upgrades that the Bismarck does not.
PedroMM193 Bismark is the premium tier 8. How on earth would it be tier 9 or 10? She is potentially under-gunned even at tier 8 opposed to Amagi and North Carolina. Bismark is the premium and Tirpitz the main line ship simply because the premium should be inferior to the main line ship and Tirpitz continued being upgraded (especially radar and AA) long after Bismark sank. Plus it will make wargaming lots of money of course.
The history and overview is my favorite part of your videos Jingles.
I love the history part of these videos, please do more.
i don't intend to make you feel older jingles, but listening to the story of one of my favorite royal navy ships, being told by you, was one of the best bed time story's i've ever had to listen to.
Absolutely that ship should of been made a museum, one amazing ship im sure anybody who served on her was one proud individual!!👍👍
I'm certainly proud of my grandfather who served in the Med in WARSPITE and later in VALIANT.
sadly the uk didnt preserve there ships
Aww... Jingles is in love. Jingles and the Warspite sitting in a tree... ;)
I enjoyed the little historical lecture as I am one of those who have been aware of the HMS Warspite for a long time, but have read very little about her.
I'm waiting for HMS Ark Royal. I don't really like aircraft carriers, but it just has an awesome name.
I've always loved that her motto perfectly fitted her history and nickname - Belli dura despicio ("I Despise the Hard Knocks of War")
Another great review from the mighty jingles, I will be getting this, it looks hard to play but good for experienced admirals, like the Lowe in WOT if you know how to play it you can do well, but if you're a NOOB then you will probably not drive it like a boss immediately!!
u wot m9? I swer on me mum!
watched this video serveral times mr jingles and it still touches my heart every time that warsprite breaks rather than be broken up for scraps :)
Loving these all these new ships. I hope they add the USS Enterprise and the Yorktown Class Carriers.
Great video mate. It even spurred my dad to watch as he's ex Royal Navy and a gunner and this is his fav ship from the last century
hah Jingles, you're so much like a history teacher to a lot of us, keep up the good work! :) Great videos too
I love your videos, especially those history lessons in the beginning, dont EVER stop doing them!
When you see the video 19 seconds after uploading 😊
Matthew S when you comment 20 seconds after uploading
Matthew S When you talked with him on last sunday :V
Matthew S When you just...dont...care...
When he kills you with science.
Really glad Jingles does the video's!! Nothing like sitting down with some lunch and enjoying the show.
It´s 2017 and we are still waiting for the British battleship line.
I have loved your vids from tanks way before ships. You recommended WoW Beta and I got my lil Zao Yubari, a Gremy and have played only Warships since.
I love the Warspite but always struggled to bring her guns to bear. I remembered a vid of yours years ago and re-watched it. YOUR WARSPITE VID IS SO EPIC THE ENTIRE WoW COMUNTY NEEDS TO WATCH IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. I have used your tips and tricks and have been wrecking T8 games in her. Positioning, a few blap's from a direction they don't expect and soon ya got em on the run. Then today in a Tier ten match, I ambushed and Dev struck a Thunderer. 90,000 damage in a 30 knt drive by in my Atago. Then fought off Midway attacks for 5 minutes. Sunk her as well, for the win. It was too easy and no joy from sinking new players. I have use Warspite successfully in training new players because her commands are easy to understand. Flambass vid HMS UNSINKABLE for him putting her bag of tricks to use and he also talks about map tactics. Thank you again. aka Dark_Nebulae
Flambass HMS Unsinkable ua-cam.com/video/zpgx9cpWZ2o/v-deo.html
Storm’d at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.
........
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley’d and thunder’d;
Storm’d at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro’ the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.
When can their glory fade ?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wonder’d.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!
While watching you fire, and take fire from both sides, all I could think of was this poem, and the epicness it describes. Thanks again Jingles, I thoroughly enjoyed this!
Thanks Jingles for feeding my desire to play this game, I appreciate the way you share the historical data to help explain how the ship fits into the overall scheme of the game.
Warspite: *holds world record for furthest moving shot ever*
Wargaming: yeah 16 km range
Great history lesson for us, Jingles. I love hearing some of the first-hand accounts you referenced, they really bring you back to those days.
to be honest id say the HMS Hood was the most famous British warship
Yeah. The largest ship in the Royal navy and also the flagship
IWindsOfMidgets A weird sort of fame, being famous for blowing up. Warspite is much more famous in the UK at least.
DoddyIshamel well it blew up while putting fire into the bismarck in all fairness...
Well
It get 1 shot in da face
Also the explodyist
Welcome to Naval history with the Mighty Jingles. (History student here, love this sort of stuff.)
Rather bias my lord, although understandably so.
It's rather over priced at the moment, for a T6 7500 tokens is too much. If it is to be reduce to ~5000, it's worth thinking, but definitely not now.
shiualex123 If find the way wows prices the prems weird. Tier 2 prem 500g, tier 3 prem 2250g, tier 5 prem 2500g, tier 6 prem 7500g, tier 7 prem 9000g.
***** Wargaming are "testing the waters", if you know what I mean.
shiualex123
What do you expect? They are ships... it takes a hell of a lot more work to detail, model and animate a ship than it takes to detail model and animate a tank. You can understand where the price comes from because of the man hours it took to bring this to you,
ADMIRALTIA Not only that but the HMS Warspite is gonna only be available in CBT...once the game goes OBT it will be removed.
shiualex123 everything about wargamings games is overpriced, a premium tier 8 heavy in WoT is $50, a year of premium account time is $100, and if you play on xbox you also need to pay an extra $60(at least) just to be able to look at your garage, at least with xbox live gold you get two free games a month
I know this is kinda an old video, but i really enjoy learning all these awesome things about the ships. Great video bud, please never stop making videos.
About time they let the RN (the REAL Navy) into the game. No, I'm not British - retired USN submariner - but I have nothing but respect for the Senior Service.
Damn right that secondary battery is lethal. Got too close to a Warspite in my Phoenix one game - let's just say the phrase "ripped me a new one" doesn't begin to cover it. Not just destroyers, but lightly armored cruisers as well, best keep their distance from this ship.
Might be worth the price of admission, just to upgrade that secondary battery, and troll unsuspecting novice destroyer captains.
I enjoyed the 1 hour special on it. Very informative and full of high quality game play.
I think the Warspite is freaking beautiful... Dem lines, dem AA guns, dat tower that looks like a castle... Mmm
I'm so incredibly proud to say my great grandfather served aboard the grand old lady during WW2. Took part in all theatres and battles l
My father served onboard her during WW2... thats how old I am.
@@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684 what was his job aboard her? My G-Grandfather was a petty officer in the boiler room
@@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684 the sinking? Warspite survived the war. It ran aground while be towed post war to be broken up.
@@cryptickaoz9494 Good grief...sorry... My Bad. I'm replying to multiple posts at once and got mixed up thinking I was on a "HMS Dorsetshire" video!!! Yes my father was in Warspite's boiler rooms too from May 1942 until Dec 1943 when he was posted to her sister HMS Valiant. Luckily he was "off watch" from his station on Warspite's evaporators at the time she was struck by the "Fritz X" at Salerno in Sept 1943. I've deleted my previous post due to embarrassment !!! Now got to go find the other thread... I've probably been posting about HMS Warspite on a HMS Dorsetshire video.
@@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684 haha no worries friend! My G-Grandfather was on duty in the boiler room when the fritz-x came in. Explosion threw his bare back against a boiler
Please please do another video on the whole British fleet when it comes out in about 16 years time.
This is the reason i follow you.... on youtube.. not outside your window... that would be weird... lol You always have so much information on the ships! The history, what they did in the wars, the captains of the ships. It's actually a good history lesson, not to mention explains how to use the ship in World of Warships. Thank you for doing what you do Mr. Jingles!
When the Royal Navy is finally introduced as a full faction in WOW, what would be its Tier X battleship? I'm thinking the never-built Lion-class with its nine 16-inch guns would be a likely choice.
Or the G/N3 battleship/battlecruiser
HMS Vanguard would probably be a likely choice
+Ryan Takamiya HMS Vanguard for sure on par with Iowa class, a little slower . better fire control more accurate an more balanced ship.. Iwoa had bigger guns that is about the only thing it had over Vanguard
jasin butler And better anti-aircraft guns, range (not gun range), and fire directors.
good Battleship footage there Jingles.
There's always something satisfying about letting the big guns on the Battleships roar.
i think the bismarck is the most anticipated ship for this game
Why
alex bull
because history and stuff.
if you don't know what i am talking about, watch a documentary about bismarck, then you'll understand. it took a lot to sink that thing. and that thing was a fearsome warship.
vuk psodorov Maybe because it was a very modern design? She was fighting post WW1 ships mainly.
Big difference.
UnknownPerson onGoogle
still, fighting ships that are weaker than itself is one of the things that made it good. it might not be as good in WoWs because they will have to balance it, but still.
the thing is about the bismarck is that its armament isnt that far off from the iowa class battleship it only has 1 less gun and they were only an inch smaller in diameter for a ship that was built i think 6 years before the iowa and considering how quickly things became out classed during ww2 i think the bismarcks firepower held up surprisingly well. plus the max speed was only 1kmh slower than the iowa. comparing these kind of stats is easy though comparing other stats like amour is more difficult which makes me think it will either be a tier 7 or 8 battleship in WoWs depending on the armour.
It amazes me how much information you retain on war history. it is literally awesome, your knowledge is awe inspiring.
"She might be ugly-"
I don't see that at all, it's a beautiful ship.
Wow, watching these old wows videos you can tell jingles used to like this game.
Good advice about Battleships, can't wait to get my hands on this game and possibly a Russian Destroyer and a British Battleship.
***** Or a German Battleship would be nice ;)
***** I want to get a lovely bismark :)
2:44 the HMS Warrior was saved, but on the way back to port, she foundered due to heavy damage sustained during the battle. Sh had been hit 21 times, 15 of those hits being from battleship-sized guns.
What are your predictions on what the Royal Navy will be like in World of Warships?
+Jeff Carver A mixture of old world war one line fire ships and then combined fleet combat ships as far as I can tell. The Lion will most likely be the Tier ten.
+Fliuck from what I've seen its an upgraded lion at tier 10. also the RN is meant to be the next navy on the way, hype anyone?
+John “Hammer” Box The last battleship commissioned in the world was the HMS Vanguard, she was a heavily modified Lion, so I am thinking she would be the tier 10. I am looking very forward to the RN, only other complete tech tree you can add, no other navy had multiple classes of CVs :D
Jeff Carver theres also many weird and wonderful designs which could be added as premiums, stuff like HMS Agincourt (a seized Ottoman battleship), HMS glorious prior to being converted to an aircraft carrier (2x18" British guns), also the salt will be real if they don't let us see the planned modernisation to hood when she's finally in the game
I knew of the Agincourt, the Ottomans were supposed to receive her right before the war started :D Is this the Glorious sunk in the Norway campagin? I heard the Admiral class(Hood)is going to be in the tier line, that would be amazing :D
Your knowledge on the History of the Tanks in WoTs and now the Ships in WoWS is astounding; I just love watching your vids for all the info you give us.
Thx :)
I now refer to my "love handles" as torpedo bulges.
wahahahahahahahahahah
I think this has to be my favourite Jingles video ever!
I don't agree with Jingles when he says that after the refit in 1937, the Warspite was Britain's most powerful ship. The king George V-class and the Nelson-class were easily superior. The King George V-class may have had only 14-inch guns, but it had 10 of them, and could do a top speed of 28.3 knots, plus it also had 16 5.25-inch guns, which I think is superior to the Warspite's secondary armament.
The Nelson-class could only do 23 knots, but it had 9 16-inch guns, an armament equivalent to the Iowa-class, and had 12 6-inch guns. The Nelson had a secondary armament equivalent to the primary armament of the Cleveland-class cruiser. Think about that.
Also, both the Nelson-class and the King George V-class had superior armour to Warspite, even after Warspite's refit. Basically, the Warspite wasn't even the Royal Navy's best battleship, let alone warship.
Awesome video. Thank you very much, for the historical wisdom...
I'm about to put "The Mighty Jingles" Captain into my Warspite, as soon as he has 10 points...
He's been kicking epic ass, in the Orion and Dreadnought...
i really like the history lesson ^^
I appreciate these style of videos are getting difficult with the amount of made up or blueprint only ships in game is a little silly now, but would love to see more like this
And she is why you do not mess with Britain
Well the military at least we really wouldn't care :P
Lol Britain is Americas bitch. And her military is a joke.
gamerguyx095 obvious troll is obvious.
gamerguyx095 Tell that to the SAS. They'd make US special forces piss their pants.
***** While you may be partially right, no need to be condescending
Dreadnought, Warspite and Vanguard all should of been preserved.
I thought it was just going to be America and Japan when the game comes out but if their only making British ships now and including them already then this game won't be out any time soon.
This is good cause we might see some Dutch ships like the DerRuter and maybe some Nazi ships like Bismark
aaron Gregor It's likely the British tree will be after launch.
Britain and Germany didn't have Clashes involving Aircraft carriers and battleships on both sides, nor was the a distinct armament difference on cruisers of the period.
America and Japan on the other had where chosen as the Pacific Conflicts would allow 2 navies to be implemented with character from the get go, Wargaming already have the American Battleships and Japanese Carriers in game, People have datamined the files, ready for launch.
James Bomber The post-WWII De Ruyter cruiser will probably not be in the game because it's too new I assume? The pre-WWII De Ruyter light cruiser that was lost in the Battle of the Java Sea isn't terribly impressive even though it was the Dutch flagship.
I'm Dutch, but I would be surprised if any of these ships show up in this game, certainly not near the launch date. The Dutch navy was well past its prime in the era this game tries to emulate.
I do expect a full line of German, Russian, Japanese, American, British and maybe even French and Italian ships.
The Royal Navy did just fight agains Germany but played a large role in recurring the Mediterranean and also played a key role in the Pacific war, Germany didn't really have a noticeable navy apart from Terpits and Bischmark
I wasn't saying the Germans and Brit's didn't clash, you misread my meaning.
The British and Germans didn't have the same levels of Aircraft carrier useage, Honestly I can't think of a German Carrier, And if you didn't give the British BB's the world would be up in arms, Brits love their Battleships.
Contrary to this, the Omission of BB's on the American line was not a huge issue issue as Midway means that most people with a small interest in Navies will think of Carriers when thinking to the US.
Well RADM Jingles, it's 2020 and your old videos still taste sweet. Thank you for the history lesson and the gameplay :)
We need the HMS Hood now
+Daniel Fuller (Starksteel) +100% to chances of magazine detonation
+The BadChat haha yes please
Jangles, best history teacher :P Im a tanks guy, knowing nothing about warships or aircrafts units and battles and I find Jingles mix of facts, jokes and being Jingles incredibly entertaining :)
Shipfu now with added kanmusu! Tea drinkers rejoice!
AYE
Hmmm. Makes me wonder what Warspite's kanmusu would look like. She's The Grand Old Lady... oba-san in sera fuku perhaps?
No need to wonder, she's official in the game which is why I made the comment
kancolle(dot)wikia(dot)com(slash)wiki(slash)Warspite
Her rigging is a throne accessorized with crown, orb and scepter!
wowjapan.asia/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/13938499_1219445791409652_6671964235597849023_n.png
the unique thing that she has, she called admiral as 'admire'-al...
That was a great commentary Jingles. May I also add that the Warspite still holds the world record for a hit on a moving target at sea. I think that was a hit on the Guilio Cesar at 26400 yards in 1941.
THIS SHIP IS BEAUTIFUL T.T
I bought the Warspite with zero research and didn't know anything about her. Just bought her cause she was a Royal Navy and she a Battleship. The first battleship game I played in WoWS was in the Warspite and it was epic! I died, but I died in a glory of fire taking someone out from the grave with my final 15 inch salvo. Got three kills that game and fell in love her. Sure she has her problems, but she is awesome. I do agree with what Jingles says though, not a ship for new players. Gotta plan where you want those slow turrets pointing and get them there early. In all the games I have played in the Warspite, I can count the number of torps taken on a single hand. Great ship and would buy again!
Great video Jingles!
Im waiting for the CV-6 USS Enterprise the most awarded ship of ww2(only)
LusoPictures CV-6 for life!
Can't wait to see the grey ghost in action as well
Ahh the Lucky E
I want to see the montana
Mattias Berggren Don't you mean CVN-6 xD Her latest designation. :3 The Grey Ghost will sail once more. It is sad she was sold for scrap.
I absolutely love the history Jingles supplies at the outset, even if the action on the screen behind his narrative consists of his beloved vessel getting whacked around unmercifully. For me, the actual game play that follows is just the icing on the cake!
Its funny he recommends this to "experienced BB players", yet there are no experienced BB players in wows as the game is in beta. I understand what he means, but a year from now Jingles will look back at this time and realize he was a noob during beta.
Jack Rolfland True. Some of us have only been playing BBs in WoWs for 6 months. Total noobs.
The Mighty Jingles Boom
The Mighty Jingles rekt.
The Mighty Jingles I believe you misunderstood. The point was that the term "experienced" is relative. For instance: A lot of people considered themselves pro after playing WoT for 6 months (during open beta). Since tactics evolve and general knowledge of the game improve over the years, the standards on those players would be considered low today( in 2014). In the same way, there are no experienced players in WoWS today. In a year's time, the bar will be raised. Anyways, this was a good review. Keep it up.
The Mighty Jingles um slightly dumb person here what is this BBs?
Love the last sentance in your summary of her history, couldn't agree more:-).
Currently in WoWS the HMS Warspite is more like the HMS Warshite.
Yep I made the joke.
$1.99 Happy Meal With Fries peasant! get back to the salt mines!
Hunter Chen Yes my Liege.
$1.99 Happy Meal With Fries stop talking and distracting me from making you going back to the salt mines!
Hunter Chen Sorry my Liege.
$1.99 Happy Meal With Fries Errr, no, no you didn't.
TheMightyJingles This Video was great because of how excited you were. We could tell that you were really digging this ship.
beutiful ship ain't she
This video is truly gold. Well done.
How you can tell this is an old video: The intro shows CVs being destroyed.
The 8th Incarnation of "HMS Warspite" was a Nuclear Submarine and it's Honours Board was ridiculously heavy, especially on Submarines where Space is at a Premium, it weighed the same as two matelots. Even it's Ship's Crest is "Steely", a Cannon on a set of truck wheels. It's up there in my favourites, waiting for HMS Nelson and HMS Rodney, and then the beautiful HMS Vanguard. It's great seeing these ships being brought to life.
22:00 jingles is so modest:
"killed that cruiser"
*background:* 'Enemy battleship destroyed!'
@The Mighty Jingles
Great overview of Warspite. Very interesting history of this great ship, should have been preserved as a museum ship imho.
Great video; Bias, but great.
I didn't buy the HMS Warspite for the two reasons you mention (gun range & turret rotation speed). But I have been killed by them. And it was quick. I was in my USS Cleveland. And now I can see why and have an idea of what to do.
Thanks and keep up the great work.
Question... At 1:11 you said that it earned more battle honors than any warship that served in any nation in WWII...
Does the USS Enterprise CV-6 not count? It earned 20 battle stars to the HMS Warspite's 14... Unless of course I'm misreading the Wikipedia entry, I'm always up for learning more and if it has more than that, please let me know...
None of this discounts The HMS Warspite's impressive record, I just am a big fan of the CV-6 which is why I know its history off the top of my head... all I know of the Warspite is what you say in this video and what Wikipedia says. :)
Aircraft aren't ships they are cancer but in reality he could mean battleships in ww2 or non carriers or just jingles being jingles wait no please I dont want to go back to the salt mines
