To be fair to young Dave here... I think leaving your ammo behind when you're driving your AMX 40 is probably the smarter move. It doesn't create any unrealistic expectations about the gun that way
Jingles, this is EXACTLY the kind of video that was the reason for me to sub to you many years ago: "Normal" players managing themselves in remarkable circumstances, along with funny commentary and good music. Well done to both a6zero1 and the Mighty One!
I loved the AMX 40 so much for the "look at the field where I plant my f*cks, for it is barren" factor. Being able to just roll around absorbing more or less anything shot at you was so much fun. The jarring transition from that to the ELC however is probably the steepest learning curve in any single tier jump :)
Should see some of my kv5 replays ammo loaded 50 ap and 10 he No prem consum Just ap even when the kv5 had only 167 of pen I still never loaded the gold (looking back at it I played 1100 games of kv5 without gold)

*crunches the numbers* So, he bounced 4300 damage in a tank with 300 HP, so he tanked 14.333... times his own health. That's like an IS-7 blocking 34,400 damage. Just let that sink in for a moment.
Can we talk about the level of fear Dave instilled into that Pz III? Lmao Dave would turn the turret in his general direction and he’d fling himself behind the hill so fast 😂😂😂
Reminds me of the time I did the exact same thing. Installed the new gun on my AMX 40, forgot that this removed all ammunition from the tank, immediately hit the battle button. That game earned me my 3rd class mastery.
"Jingles," Loved the song, "Trainwreck." It was very appropriate for this video. "Dave" did a great job spotting, despite not having any ammo. Great Video! Keep up the good work, "Jingles."
Back in 2012 i unlocked the T32 and sold all my tanks to buy it. And I was so broke I could only afford to buy 2 AP shells so I actually went into battle with 2 rounds of ammo lol
@@simondm96 well back then I was a red player. Very new to the game lol so yeah. Not very well! But I've since gotten better! Now load 3 shells!! Jk I've since learned how to play :P this video reminded me of my early days of wot
That was one of the most enjoyable battles I've seen. It's great to see someone who doesn't throw a hissy-fit because not everything was perfect and instead makes the best of the situation. Thanks, a6zero and thanks, Jingles!
Impressive result. Love the fact that he actually inflicted 5 points of damage. Oh, the shame of being rammed by an AMX 40. Thanks Jingles, I really needed the chuckle this week. You just made the work day bearable.
Can someone Tell Sir Jingles here of a Graf Zeppelin Game where the Player only used his secondaries, and has 2 friend Destroyers to give him smoke screens, and went surprisingly well
Yesss! Fear the mighty Duck! Now you all see just how formidable it can be! Finally, my loyalty to Duck has been rewarded. Soon they will flock to the battlefield and crush all who oppose them under their webbed feet! It's a revolution, brothers!!!! QUAAACK!!!!!
This made me think of an old old video, long gone due to music about friendship from Disney. I wouldn't mind seeing it again, even without the music. Also I like the duck!
@@jacobsharpe8219 It contained music that was copyrighted. Even pieces (like the British national anthem) that you would think are public domain. He had to take pretty much all of them down in order to prevent getting three strikes.

@@jacobsharpe8219 Copyright and stuff. Jingles removed most of those videos before an actual strike could happen as his sponsor network (or something like that dunno exactly anymore) told him that he might get taken down for that.
Full props to him for not quitting out. Deciding to spot for his team, and emptying the enemy's ammo rack by sticking his tongue out at them. Way to go Dave.
@@SharkoonBln but that's what was good about. The gun was crap. You could tank all the damage or your tear while everyone else shot them. The closest thing that have the same amount of armor at the time was the Pz 30.01H two tiers higher than you
Hey Jingles. That little thing you said about all of us forgetting ammo. I am being completely honest right now. It’s because I’ve watched your videos for so long that I have never forgotten to load ammunition. I am not lying, and I say that because I listen to the King of The Gnomes! It’s just stuck in my Psyche that ammo is the most crucial thing about going into battle. I realize that many are gonna call me a liar, but I swear on my grandfather’s grave that I am telling the truth. Anyway, I have a video invitation coming out later today, so I do hope Rita shows it to you. Keep up the great work, say hello to Akizuki for me, and Happy Holidays Jingles! -The Tank Commander
Very happy to hear Martin Carlberg in a video again. Jingles, is recommend you check out one of his other songs, “It’s Not Love.” Pretty good when you hear it, and even better when you realize it has the same base riff as ZZ Top’s “La Grange.”
One of the most entertaining videos I've seen on your channel (and I've been watching for a LONG time)! Great attitude and a good job driving, I'd play with *that* "dave" any time. :-)
I think my appendectomy was less painful than grinding this tank but I was playing it wrong. I should have removed all the rounds, saved some credits and played it as a scout and charged head first into the enemy lines! Well played Dave!
In this video we see a6zero1 driving around the French countryside, a half dozen tourists taking holiday snaps out the firing ports while little Timmy is in the gunner's seat, where he can do absolutely no harm to anyone.
Reminds me of when I was cornered by 4 people in my R35. Almost died but most of their shots ricocheted or was blocked. I simply shot them until they died since I couldn't move.
This reminds me of the old days of tier 5 (max) lights, which could see tier 10 matches, where a common adage was "Don't load ammo, that way you can't get ammo-racked."
Must have been a British crew , loaded up on tea and crumpets but not ammo . I say I wish they would stop knocking on the tank ,don't half make a din . Another cup and crumpet before we launch into the battle , okay just another cup then we must do something in this frog machine . Water still hot ,guess another cup wont hurt .
Most epic game ever played on WOT. Not a shot was fired but, I dare say the young Dave varied his team by being the focal point of the opposing team’s tanks and spotting like a boss!
I almost did that once but when I clicked on the BATTLE button, I got a pop-up asking me, "Are you sure you want to go into battle with no ammunition?" So Dave didn't do it accidentally, he did it by not paying attention and just blindly clicking "yes" buttons. And he got damn lucky that Cruiser II bot hadn't mounted the 3.7" derp, LOL.
Duck can often surprise you. I got my first Kolobanov in the Duck. None of my doing of course. I slowly advanced to their CAP while they quickly killed all of my team and then the 5 of them stopped capping under the 'No CAP, Kill All' rule. I capped out just as the first of them came into sight.
I remember playing my first game in this tanks ancestor, the H35, not having a clue about what to do but frog me was I bouncing lead like no one business. Kept that tank, kept the AMX40 too.
Now that brings back memories - I remember finding the AMX40 boring to play, but worked my way through it. When I could I would team up with one or two guild mates with them in TDs and I would just roll forwards as a shield/target taking the hits while they took out the opposition I lit up. Most the time I would survive. I also remember on one occasion being one on one against another AMX40 - we were the last alive in the game, think there was around 5 minutes left when it got to that stage. Unsurprisingly the battle ended up in a draw - don't think we tried ramming each other though.
Ah, the joy of joining a battle with no ammunition loaded... Used to happen quite frequently too. Grinding out a tank, unlocking a new gun and rushing to test it out in a battle, only to find out the game emptied your ammo load-out because you switched your gun. Also used to happen when you equipped a new turret while keeping the same gun. WarGaming addressed it many years later with a warning in the equipment load-out screen "no ammo loaded". Nowadays it wont let you hit battle if your tank has no ammunition loaded if I'm not mistaken.
Memories. The funniest thing that happened to me is a similar situation was in a top tier Tiger and had forgotten to resupply ammo when I unlocked and mounted a new gun. As luck would have it, my team lemming trained the other direction. I let them know I had no ammo and would do what I could. As it turned out, the opposition was pretty evenly spread over 3 corridors and I only had to defend against 4 heavies, a couple of which were same tier. I basically tucked into a rock and would poke out to point the gun at a random one of the four tanks and then pull back to dodge incoming fire. By making them all think they were my target, none got up enough courage to put their brave pants on and charge me. The flank held, I gave no ground and only lost about a quarter of my health by the time the team pulled up the back side of the strength of the opposition. If I recall correctly, one of my team member stated, "That was impressive, but your still a noob for forgetting to resupply." To be fair, for that game, I couldn't argue against him.
Insane. *My* AMX40 has been glued into Tier VI battles ever since the introduction of 3-5-7 matchmaking. I can´t even remember when it was the last time top-tier :(
Reminds me of a game i had as a Luchs commander, facing my first ever O-I when it was introduced. We were the last two survivors in our teams, the O-I was out of ammo, i had plenty shots left (dakka luchs gun). i tried to shoot him EVERYWHERE, had no real clue about weak spot hence that O-I was brand new. He finally managed to push me off a cliff, that bastard ^^
Jingles has taste in movies I see as tittle referring to a movie Major Payne. Wow Jingles on his Christmas roll. Keep it up Jingles we need more Christmas Cheer.
Fun fact: AMX 40 used to get 'scout' matchmaking like most other light tanks tier 4+, where it was up against potentially tanks 3 tiers higher, because light tanks stopped at tier 8 and WG wanted light tanks to still be present in higher tier matches and otherwise spread through all tier matches. However, unlike pretty much every other tier 4 LT it obviously had no mobility to actually scout. Edit: Even earlier when LTs stopped at tier 7, 'scout' matchmaking meant tier 4 LTs faced tier 9s(!)
I still remember one time I upgraded my turret in the T 150, and rushed into battle without loading ammo. I was in a hurry because I was tooned with friends. I still will never forget the feeling of doing something that stupid.
Dave is trolling around likes he's the Black Knight in a Monte Python flick... 0_o Tis only a flesh wound, come at me sunshine if ya think y'er hard enough... >_
The time i unlocked my first tier 9 i got so excited i jumped in and became the heaviest armored cameraman because all i could shoot is nice pictures and videos of my enemies flying to me shooting me ass because i cant fire hopes and dreams at them . Still won because i make an excellent distraction.
To be fair to young Dave here... I think leaving your ammo behind when you're driving your AMX 40 is probably the smarter move. It doesn't create any unrealistic expectations about the gun that way
also, the tank is lighter and - I hate to use that word when talking about the Duck - "faster" :)
@@chaosengine4597 let's settle for "not as slow" then

Question: if a tank doesnt have any ammunition, can he still get ammo racked?
Wouldnt make sense in real life, but this is a game after all

We were the last two survivors in our teams, the O-I was out of ammo, i had plenty shots left (dakka luchs gun). i tried to shoot him EVERYWHERE, had no real clue about weak spot hence that O-I was brand new. He finally managed to push me off a cliff, that bastard ^^
Ha ha that was funny, "scouting with his face". Love your commentary Jingles.
How much damage will he block ? "Yes"
Yes Jingles, we've all been there. This was awesome
Jingles has taste in movies I see as tittle referring to a movie Major Payne. Wow Jingles on his Christmas roll. Keep it up Jingles we need more Christmas Cheer.
Fun fact: AMX 40 used to get 'scout' matchmaking like most other light tanks tier 4+, where it was up against potentially tanks 3 tiers higher, because light tanks stopped at tier 8 and WG wanted light tanks to still be present in higher tier matches and otherwise spread through all tier matches. However, unlike pretty much every other tier 4 LT it obviously had no mobility to actually scout.
Edit: Even earlier when LTs stopped at tier 7, 'scout' matchmaking meant tier 4 LTs faced tier 9s(!)
Drunk and without ammo, he do his scout job with a duck
That poor fool in the III J, if only he had realized Dave was not returning a single shot he may have been able to actually do something that game.
I still remember one time I upgraded my turret in the T 150, and rushed into battle without loading ammo.
I was in a hurry because I was tooned with friends. I still will never forget the feeling of doing something that stupid.
Dave is trolling around likes he's the Black Knight in a Monte Python flick... 0_o Tis only a flesh wound, come at me sunshine if ya think y'er hard enough... >_
Absolutely loved that replay but Jingles what was that tune...being an older rock fan I should know it and it was ace with the replay 🤘🤘🤘
That is among the top 10 most hilarious WoT games I have ever seen.
Another great victory of Dave!
You could say Dave "Ducked and Dived" in that battle! Hang on is the Amx 40 related to the Mighty Tog? Distant cousin perhaps? lol
Very unique match. Well done Dave!!!! Sweet!!!
In the AMX40, the ammo is just for show anyways! Nice job Dave! Putting the T 95 to shame!
Watch. Driving into battle with no ammo is going to become the next meme. Like going up the middle on two brothers in WoWs
This is a great example of no ammo, no problem. Just, it happens so rarely, it's mostly legendary.
The time i unlocked my first tier 9 i got so excited i jumped in and became the heaviest armored cameraman because all i could shoot is nice pictures and videos of my enemies flying to me shooting me ass because i cant fire hopes and dreams at them . Still won because i make an excellent distraction.
Ah yes, the House Steiner school of reconnaissance.
