World of Warships - A Breed Apart

Introducing Dragonfire29, that rarest breed of British Battleship player. He knows what the "2" key is for.

Merchandise!

"7 at the front rather than 6"...4+2 = 6. Don't ever change, Jingles XD

[davidwhitfield]

Wouldn't be a Jingles WOWS episode without his traditional snipe at the Gneisenau or proving his ability to count barrels and then add one.

LETS GO THIS IS MY BROTHER, CONVINCED HIM TO SEND THE VIDEO IN

[kylehaggard]

jingles, the Duke of York gets improved AP pen angles, fast reloading heal, and hydro

[gene]

World of Tanks: "ugh, this guy won't stop hitting the '2' key!"
World of Warships: "wow credit to this guy, he remembers to hit the '2' key!"

[thecop]

Something that I will never get tired of is watching Jingles laugh as someone gets absolutely obliterated even though he has seen it hundreds of times! :D

[metalgoby]

You can get the DoY for coal in the armory. It's a free historical ship. It has substantially better AP than KGV, it has hydro and better AA, at the cost of a bit worse rate of fire. I am willing to take that

[codyzabriskie]

Thanks for the feature Jingles! I paid coal for my Duke, not money 😅 It's not a particularly exciting ship but I kinda like it. This is definitely my best battle in it

[samwisethesoulless]

I'll be the "actually jingles " Today:

The DoY (also called the dork) has some differences from the standard KGV. The big one right away is that the reload is straight up worse. WDYM IT'S WORSE?! Yea, by 5 seconds. Whereas the KGV has a 25 sec reload, the doy has 30. In compensation for this, WG decided a number of years ago to give the AP special ricochet values, so they behave like extra large american heavy cruiser shells. The other thing is the addition to hydro, which used to be quite rare for a british BB to have.
I will now go back to the mines for extended work...

"And he's loading the armour piercing"
Dragonfire: "You gonna _LEARN_ taday, Pensacola!"

[NFS_Challenger]

I just love it when Jingles starts to laugh uncontrollably when cruisers, like those in this video, get blown up spectacularly just like the British battlecruisers in the Battle of Jutland. Also, Jingles, my good sir, the Duke of York does have 6 guns at the front, not 7. Please don't ever change, man.

[biel]

Whenever I see a tier 7 battleship jingles video I play a game of "how will jingles talk crap of the Gneisenau this time"

[Unther]

Low-caliber battleships have one advantage though - they tend to be effective cruiser killers because they overpenetrate less often. They struggle against other battleships though, but well, there's always a trade-off.

[TrickiVicBB]

I quit playing a long time ago, but I got this ship with another one in a bundle when it came out.

At the time, Duke of York became my most highly skilled captain.

I would often surprise destroyer players by charging undetected at smokescreens, pop hydro, then fire HE right at them.

Earned many kills that way.

[andrewvoelkel]

Lol, The glee when the Pensacola was reversing

[malkymac]

Yeah, sure, get the Free XP ship Nelson, which hasn't been available for several years now. It was part of a purge that removed "too popular" or over-performing ships including the Haida, T-61 & Graf Spee - the last one is rather amusing, as it was the free ship as part of a Dockyard event. That's WG for you.

[AllAhabNoMoby]

One good reason to get Duke of York - aside from the hydro and the better pen angles - is the fact that it's one of the relatively few ships that actually existed, and this one even saw and won actual major BB on BB action, which is rare by any standard. So it's historical too.

[Autobotmech]

DOY has been free for a couple of years after the Christmas events of hunt the Bismarck, I believe. So I don’t pay for mine, but again finishing a quest/event it was a reward.

[FormulaZR]

My favorite part of the Conq line is that no one ever expects the AP. It really is the Spanish Inquisition of WoWS.

[rodbowes]

Jingles' joy at seeing cruisers getting a paddling really gets me chuckling!
