Thank you for featuring me! And thank you for making the first boring minutes bearable with your commentary. :D The VK2801 was my favorite tank back in the days when it had the Derp and was matched against T10 tanks. After they gave us the VK28 105, I 3-marked that one. And just for the good old times I got the VK2801 back into my garage. Got my 3rd MoE on him 2 days ago. ^^
Thank you for making such a good show of a German Light! That's the line I started investing myself in in WoT when I started playing, oblivious of their uh... "poor" position in the meta. I'm on the HWK 12 now, enjoyed the VK28, even though the howitzer was long-gone by then. However, seeing how poorly the final two tanks in that line do currently, I'm tempted to just go back to my beloved Leopard VK16 when I'm done with the HWK!
@@vegladex They are just really hard to play these days (greetings from the powercreep department). You just need to embrace the HE starting from RU251. I am now on my way to build up the 82kph RhmPzw. Just for the fun of it. XD
I feel like a shout out is due to the 34-85M on the enemy team who did just shy of 3k damage and 970 base exp, the second highest in the match overall falling just under Nertaku.
I stopped playing wot because I had a poor internet connection for a time. But once I got a good connection again they had nerfed high explosive. So I'll probably never play again. I loved derping with the Sherman Jumbo, I don't even understand why they got rid of high explosive, it wasn't even that good really lol
They rid of it because of intuition and more importantly they can sell premium tanks that focuses on HE like the Caliban and premium HEAT ammo. Example of this is the tier 6 Italian td with its top derp gun, standard HE is fine but the premium HEAT is nuts.
My man don’t worry. Not gonna lie I still love watching WoT videos and watch Jingles every day, but I will never play WoT again. I started playing Warthunder, and even though it has its own problems, the “throw more armor less weak spots” is not one of them. I spent so much time and money on WoT and it’s all down the drain. Sucks man
I love people doing well in midtier games. The enemy could consist of very experienced players, it could consist of people who have only been playing for a week: who knows. As Jingles said in the video as well, sometimes you can confuse the living shit out of players by being unpredictable if you don't know what you're doing. Well played to Nertaku for staying calm under pressure and giving his team the win!
Jingles, you do realize that the premium VK with the 105mm (VK 28.01 mit 10,5 cm L/28) was given to every player with 4 or more years of service in the reward event of 2021, so there are thousands of them around, and they are quite common in the matchmaker.
A point concerning the 75L43 vs the 75L48 guns. On paper the 75L48 was a noticeable improvement to the penetration, however, in reality this wasn't the case. The German's had pressure issues with the L48 variant. They not only increased the length of the gun tube but also increased the powder charge. To counter the overpressure issues they walked the powder charge back which resulted in only a marginal improvement in practice. I can't remember the exact figure, but an 6% sticks in my head.
[Naughty word redacted] you Jingles.... I am now hooked on Aliens [dry-heave] Fireteam Elite.... I mean.. it's great... But damnit I have a full time job! I can't believe I let you sucker me in to playing addictive videogames!
Studzianki is a place that a tank battle took place in 9-16 august 1944. To commemorate the battle, in 1969 the name of the village Studzianki was changed to Studzianki Pancerne (the word pancerne meaning armoured in Polish.) Episodes 3-5 of the Polish TV series Czterej pancerni i pies (Four Tankmen and the Dog) depict the crew of a Polish tank during the Battle of Studzianki.
not only is he in a light tank, he's in a bad light tank too ! There are no reasons to play the regular VK 28.01 now that the VK 28.01 105 is available as a well deserved reward ! It's the same tank but with the old 105 derp gun and it's so much more fun to play this way !
well not the old ammo and yes i see them do very well in some games but many do zero or next to zero in others i myself have been 1 shot from them but more times with the he nerf it just does very little
Unfortunately the "Reward" VK is not much of a reward at all - the HE nerf has seen to that. I say this as an owner of a Hetzer with 105mm "derp" gun thats not seeing quite as much derp as it used to...
As per your WOWS video the other day that T-25 on 14HP became "somebody else's problem". That's how he survived so long despite making no appreciable effort to use cover.
9:50 "it's easy to look good on the scoreboard if you've been sitting in the back of the map the entire game and you clear up kills on low hp tanks" .........you mean what the VK was doing?
This game I used to like but I still watch too because you make it fun. I don’t come for wot I come for your amazing commentary. The jingles show is amazing
Most of what Nertaku was spotting for the first half of the battle was either already spotted by other, closer tanks or not in a position to be shot by their team. That's why they have only 200 spotting damage there, they weren't spotting anything useful. That's not to say they were doing a bad job, exactly, it's just that they weren't in a good position for the way things shook out.
As someone who never used HEAT and received the vk2801 105 reward tank, i can say it does live up to my memory of it. Going for the ram on enemy scouts and blasting them for 500 damage right before impact
playing mid tier in world of tanks and world of warships can be a lot of fun due to the vast variety of player experience levels and skill, and you see and experience some wild crazy crap sometimes. But that also allows you to experiment with different tactics, playstyles, builds and ideas yourself.
damn i paused and got a screenshot of when that art shell came in glazing the top of the turret i wish i could show a pic of it just a utter master piece
The high explosive nerf really took a lot of the fun out of playing a KV-2. I can't tell you how many times I've bounced with high explosive. Tanks that I should have at least overmatched, or done the 1/3 damage or whatever. Bounced. Not at some weird oblique angle either. I've hit some tanks square on and got a bounce. What the fuck's up with that?
The other joy of the VK2801 is that it's, tier for tier, the heaviest light tank, meaning you could often just ram other light tanks for ridiculous damage.
Good one Jingles. It is nice to see a skilled light tanker do his thing, as opposed to those wheeled clown car abominations from Mario Bro's. I don't play lights at all, it takes way more skill than I have to play them well.
" as long you make sh*t up anyway who cares" yeah jingles youre right, trust me look up the tanks wargaming brought in with the live version yesterday the italian TDs, half traversable turret, autoloader, and more armor then heavys, wargaming makes the best jokes xD, and still with such strong tanks the first casher boys instantly needed the gold ammo in that ps. i forgot the most important point, you get the even better version with less weaker spots only if you grab into your pockets xD
2:24 I think you just discovered one of the reasons why the T20 wasn't pursued as a tank in itself - that monstrous 90mm gun took up too much turret space iirc
Ah, the VK2801... that tier 6 chaosbringer that was tragically nerfed... but in the right hands its still the hellion. Nertaku, GG! And after this video, I'll watch the coverage of the movement of USS Texas to Galveston for her much-needed repairs... I wasn't able to watch it live due to the fact, that where I am (in the Philippines), I'm fast asleep and then had to hustle to go to the proverbial salt mines.
I used to play only LTs, waaaay back before the American LT line was introduced. Had some great games in the 59-16 and the WZ-132. Sadly the LTs are a far cry from what they were before.
This used to be my favorite arty killer until they took it out of the game. When it came back it had no derp gun and its speed was massively nerfed. Bastiches.
Your pronounciation of Studzianki is pretty good, at least you're not separating d and z into "Studyzyianki" like some Americans do xD Also it is Polish, central Poland to be more precise, it's a small village where heavy armoured battle was waged in summer of 1944, and to comemorate that, the village's name was given the adjective "Pancerne" (Armoured) after the war.
Also worth mentioning, at some point WG confused THE Studzianki with some random village named the same. The roadsigns in the village would indicate it (the names of the villages nearby). They exist but around Studzianki near Białystok, north-east of Poland, not around Studzianki Pancerne. But on the other hand, the distances to cities are totally random, like not even feasible. I think there is Cracow and Warsaw, like 70km apart according to the signs xD
For those here that are not history buffs, September the 1st, 1939 is the date that the invasion of Poland began, and the date commonly cited as the start of the Second World War. This has been your daily history facts.
Careful what you wish for, uncle Jingles. WoT Blitz players have to unlock the EXACT SAME gun and engine characteristics on multiple german tanks so going down a german line means absolutely nothing when researching other german lines, except the modules have the exact same characteristics, just different names on different lines of the same nation. Oh and to add insult to injury; buying a premium tank means nothing for modules anymore because the exact same name and characteristics count for nothing if one is white and the other is gold apparently
I miss the old HE mechanic I remember I did more exp in my T-43 using the 122 derp gun and spamming HE on the tracks of the Object 252U and came second on exp
That tank looks like an Aufklalunspanther. Poor speedy panther, removed and replaced with the hideous SP 1C. How I miss being able to ram mediums to death
I remember rolling over an AMX12t in the old 2801, not taking a single point of damage while oneshotting it. Still glad I am no longer playing the game
if its the vk im thinking of then i used it as an anti light. you could knock out almost every light tank in the game from ramming it and would only rarely lose more then 20% hp while sometimes one hitting other lights. i doubt it would hold up as a ram god now since so many new tanks have been added and the new ones always get way more love then the old ones.
well I picked up wows again. had to grind back to the monty as for some reason it was gone after 2 years of not playing. It feels better than it did when I left.
Less than 2 minutes in and already you're belly-aching about the loss of the 105 mm gun on the [researchable] *Vollketten 28.01* _without_ mentioning WoT re-introduced the *Vollketten 28.01 105* (with the 105 mm gun) as a premium tank about 2-years ago. 🤔 Are you sure you're living on the same plate I'm living on? Never change, mate.
Jingles, don't you know there are three things you should never ask... A lady her age, A gentleman his income, And a T20 where it packs it's 90mm. Shame on you good Sir.
I played much less and rarely play today after they nerfed the VK2801. There was no reason for it, it was not OP and the tank's win rate went below average after the nerf. Hence, they brought it back as a premium once they realized it was a mistake to nerf it. But by then they had unnecessarily nerfed mid tier HE when HE was a problem at high tiers. For those of us that prefer mid-tier tanks, it was just another nail in the coffin.
Thank you for featuring me!
And thank you for making the first boring minutes bearable with your commentary. :D
The VK2801 was my favorite tank back in the days when it had the Derp and was matched against T10 tanks.

Good Job brother!
Well played! Very well played!

I loved derping with the Sherman Jumbo, I don't even understand why they got rid of high explosive, it wasn't even that good really lol
People were using it in place of premium
They rid of it because of intuition and more importantly they can sell premium tanks that focuses on HE like the Caliban and premium HEAT ammo. Example of this is the tier 6 Italian td with its top derp gun, standard HE is fine but the premium HEAT is nuts.
My man don’t worry. Not gonna lie I still love watching WoT videos and watch Jingles every day, but I will never play WoT again.

@@Goldenwing117 Indead, I'd be very embarissed if I knew exactly how much I spent. Even if it was years ago.
I stopped playing Wargaming titles because I didn’t have decent laptops to play them

Or you can get people who have been playing for years, but play as bad as someone who just started that morning

"The Smiling Assassin"? I thought that was E-25? That's what you called it in 2014 video. Yes, I've watched this channel for a few years.
"The Flying Cockroach" better suits the E-25. Man I hate that thing. It does have weaknesses but boy does it have strengths!
Hahaha, I knew it sounded familiar!
@@Niikemi No it's the Panini with a Pencil!!!!!
Being up until 3AM has its perks, like seeing new Jingles videos appear
Lol 9pm here
Or. Live in SEA. Because it is exactly after office hour.😁
As per your WOWS video the other day that T-25 on 14HP became "somebody else's problem". That's how he survived so long despite making no appreciable effort to use cover.
We need more TOG content!
here here!
13:42 "camping the bushes around the campcircle". Fair.
9:50
"it's easy to look good on the scoreboard if you've been sitting in the back of the map the entire game and you clear up kills on low hp tanks"
.........you mean what the VK was doing?
To be fair, they did go onto the front line for a bit, they just didn't do much while they were there.
*Well, to be fair, our VK player here was doing more than that prior to that timestamp.*
The VK was roaming around the map taking out low HP enemy.
Truly enjoyable to watch someone with great skill, narrated by one of the best streamers alive.
This game I used to like but I still watch too because you make it fun. I don’t come for wot I come for your amazing commentary. The jingles show is amazing

Wouldn't have even noticed you said "damn" in the first 30 seconds if you hadn't gone on about it for 20 seconds afterwards.
I loved my VK with the Derp gun, run arround and blast lights at point blank range. It would be a nice foil to the clown cars.
There is a 105 version that WG gave away some time ago. It's still fun to get around a Progetto and spank them for 400 HP
As someone who never used HEAT and received the vk2801 105 reward tank, i can say it does live up to my memory of it. Going for the ram on enemy scouts and blasting them for 500 damage right before impact
"Hang in there, you can always make a difference later." is some great advice if you're feeling less than optimal. gg.
playing mid tier in world of tanks and world of warships can be a lot of fun due to the vast variety of player experience levels and skill, and you see and experience some wild crazy crap sometimes. But that also allows you to experiment with different tactics, playstyles, builds and ideas yourself.

Love me a jingles video to start the day!!
the enemy artillery were dang accurate with their shots.
Thanks, Uncle Jingles!
2:24 I think you just discovered one of the reasons why the T20 wasn't pursued as a tank in itself - that monstrous 90mm gun took up too much turret space iirc
that's not a problem to WG though, especially for russian tanks.
Actually, T20 never had the 90mm. It was 75-76mm gun options, settling on 76 IIRC. It's not until the T25 or T26 that they went to 90mm guns.
Ah, the VK2801... that tier 6 chaosbringer that was tragically nerfed... but in the right hands its still the hellion. Nertaku, GG!
And after this video, I'll watch the coverage of the movement of USS Texas to Galveston for her much-needed repairs... I wasn't able to watch it live due to the fact, that where I am (in the Philippines), I'm fast asleep and then had to hustle to go to the proverbial salt mines.
This is my all time Favorite tank to this day
I just love this flying brick
This is a 'Polish' map. The intro song is a Polish folk song roughly translated as "In my Garden".
In case if someone is interested in Studzianki, and why is this a map in WoT: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Studzianki
WOW! Awesome job!
I used to play only LTs, waaaay back before the American LT line was introduced. Had some great games in the 59-16 and the WZ-132. Sadly the LTs are a far cry from what they were before.
I do enjoy the commentarities of these videos I do like this thing for some reason.
Jingles, thought you would like to know. USS Texas is underway to receive repairs in Galveston, Texas.
Always nice to see a well played LT game,
Awesome game....but God...those minutes spent near border line map...my eyes were hurt so bad !! :)
Jingles comments made an interesting game, more than just fun to watch!

Studzienki is a polish place - it means "Mutliple Small Wells" :)
funny enough Blitz still has the Vk28 with the og 105 derp and long 75mm gun with only AP and APCR as it’s ammo
For those here that are not history buffs, September the 1st, 1939 is the date that the invasion of Poland began, and the date commonly cited as the start of the Second World War.
This has been your daily history facts.
I also used to like the VK 2801 back in my 2014-2016 days.....😀
[stoo-janky] With the "oo" being quite short.
RNG without random, premium ammo as a credit drain and a matchmaker for premium tanks.
I cant be the only one that every episode I look for my name just in case I'm featured being the one getting destroyed lol
Careful what you wish for, uncle Jingles. WoT Blitz players have to unlock the EXACT SAME gun and engine characteristics on multiple german tanks so going down a german line means absolutely nothing when researching other german lines, except the modules have the exact same characteristics, just different names on different lines of the same nation.
Oh and to add insult to injury; buying a premium tank means nothing for modules anymore because the exact same name and characteristics count for nothing if one is white and the other is gold apparently
I miss the old HE mechanic I remember I did more exp in my T-43 using the 122 derp gun and spamming HE on the tracks of the Object 252U and came second on exp
Well played!!!
great video
Best content, have a nice day!
That tank looks like an Aufklalunspanther. Poor speedy panther, removed and replaced with the hideous SP 1C. How I miss being able to ram mediums to death
They reintroduced it to the game with some buffed stats.
I remember rolling over an AMX12t in the old 2801, not taking a single point of damage while oneshotting it.
Still glad I am no longer playing the game
if its the vk im thinking of then i used it as an anti light. you could knock out almost every light tank in the game from ramming it and would only rarely lose more then 20% hp while sometimes one hitting other lights. i doubt it would hold up as a ram god now since so many new tanks have been added and the new ones always get way more love then the old ones.
Your pronunciation of "Studzianki" is almost correct actually :)
Impressive!
I'm using bounty Turbo and spall liner, trained my driver in controlled impact, 37 Kamikaze medals and still counting 🤣 going for an even 100 😂
Mighty jingles they have better iron on their ammunition imagination hahaha
4:15 Different height of the vehicle maybe?
well I picked up wows again. had to grind back to the monty as for some reason it was gone after 2 years of not playing. It feels better than it did when I left.
There is always room for more dakka in American tanks.
WG loves killing fun. Like the complete death of the 3cm gun on the luchs.
More of your curses please jingles
I miss the M5 Stuart at tier 4 with the 75mm howitzer
A damn good game!
Less than 2 minutes in and already you're belly-aching about the loss of the 105 mm gun on the [researchable] *Vollketten 28.01* _without_ mentioning WoT re-introduced the *Vollketten 28.01 105* (with the 105 mm gun) as a premium tank about 2-years ago.
🤔 Are you sure you're living on the same plate I'm living on?
Never change, mate.
I 3 marked this earlier this year, but used the stock turret because it doesnt have an ugly cupola on top xD still got almost to max viewrange with it
The HE rework doesnt really affect the vk 2801 105
Insomnia has its upside.
Not 'First,' but early.
Why do I feel déjà vu watching this video? Did he post this a long time ago?
Jingles, don't you know there are three things you should never ask...
A lady her age,
A gentleman his income,
And a T20 where it packs it's 90mm.
Shame on you good Sir.
Perfect played... At least🙂😇
"Panzer IV G turret from the Panzer IV H".
Which one is it Jingles!
I would as a team be ashamed to lose from a light tank, It's like losing from a submarine in wows...But for the player great victory...
WG aren't Fun Police, their Fun Stasi
I'm sure WG will release a premium version with a 105 mm gun in the future...
dangit, Jingles! don't make me want to play WoT
Hey Jingles, you are the expert, how did a SEEMSTOBE Panther chassis ended with a PIV turret?
Yes, Studzianki is village in Poland
