Caught a cold when I was out yesterday but rather than leave you all hanging, here’s a little something I threw together featuring SG_Kage in the USS Kidd.

This is a great way to start a Friday. Watching aircraft get deleted by a destroyer
@Frostburn Phoenix midway’s bombs are bs, but torps are damn awful. Lexington was better. With 3 torps it does 13K +/-. Quite funny
@BigLBA1 as long as you choose your targets carefully (like not attacking a worchester) and have map awareness (like not letting a Worcester get within 8km of you), you can still get decent and consistent performances in a CV
@Jeffery Zou : In the game with the wuster, I tried to scout a DD, but it wasn’t possible. So I just hid behind a rock till the AI wuster showed up, I scrambled my planes and they got deleted within 2 seconds. So I just waited the whole game actually.
There’s no balance when it comes to cvs in the game.
I made every ship able to do so a dedicated anti air vessel. Hate those pesky planes with passion. I love to play AA destroyers and cruisers and scort the fleet. Gives me more pleasure than sinking ships lol
@BigLBA1 I wouldn’t hide behind a rock. CVs need to keep moving along with their team. A stationary CV is a dead CV (as soon as a flank gets overrunned). Since it’s an AI Worcester who doesn’t know when to hold fire, what you should do is keep the ship spotted and let your teammates handle the job. In a random t10 battle, go for dds since they have lowest hp. Going for low hp targets is also good. Just avoid ships that can put up alot of flak and continously AA (such as minotaur, worchester, smolensk). I’ve been down tiered in a kaga, shokaku, and lexington before and I still managed to pull 100k games by keeping the enemies spotted and going for low hp targets. CVs are also strong late game ships when the enemy (presumably) has lost alot of AA defense via HE damage (especially British bbs and HE spammers). Honestly, in your case if you were the last person left alive on your team, then theres probably not much you can do against a Worcester. But dodging flak does save ALOT of hp. Hope this helps!
News Headline – Gnome Overlord has Man Flu 😉
Gnome Flu
@SecretSquirrel i think man refers to gender more than species in this context
You’d think they would learn at some point
they never do
you should try playing the texas against new t4 cv players
*you’d think this would get fixed at some point
@evarno my Texas is an AA build. I think my max on planes was 62 because I got focused.
@Gunnorra What’s there to fix? It’s an AA DD and likely an AA built Captain and set up.
Hey Kidds, wanna buy some
…
Plane kills?
Never had that many planes kills in a DD usually only mid 30s but it’s always a sure sign of an easy win when the enemy CVs throw the game by focusing on me rather than actually reading the mini map and helping their team
High AA DD vs bad CV = fun games.
I got 57plane kills on my ranger the carriers targeted me badly but i torpedo beated their ass and got lucky
@ainumahtar High AA TOP Tier DD vs bad BOTTOM tier CV = “fun” .
It will get old shitting on someone’s gameplay eventually of course, but if a CV player is bad + stubborn enough to feed wave after wave of planes into your DD, especially knowing that in most dds you cant do anything about it, Sure I’ll enjoy every second of that.
The USS Kidd is a museum ship in my hometown, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It’s a beautiful example of a Fletcher class destroyer.
Several of my shipmates (former DDG-993 USS Kidd members) come down every year to assist with the maintenance.
Wish I could see Kidd. I have Cassin Young near me
225 area o7
Agreed. The museum also has a great model ship collection too.
Took the day off from work and will be visiting there when Wargaming visits the Kidd early next year.
I went to Baton Rouge from Houston to specifically see the Kidd. Was not disappointed. The ship is in great shape. Visit the Kidd if you have the chance—-it’s just off I-10
126k plane damage, and 95 kills.that’s almost a TX hangar capacity in old system.
And he was robbed of AA defender.
@Michael Mitchell He should have gotten AA defense expert (shoot down at least 35 planes)…
@TheGreenFather i got that yesterday with my GK…more than 40 plane kills.
@TheGreenFather He shot down 2 CV’s worth of aircraft. (literally)
Shoutout to the guy who thought jingles was getting sick last video
I did some digging. Here they are: @Kalancodragon
@Brock Zinck Better carry on digging in the salt mines! XD
I should have said something too!
@The Mighty Jingles take care of yourself!
I feel like jingles gets sick once every two weeks.
“… Some thing a little different…”
The only thing that’s different here is that this section was not broken into clips and interspersed with other similar section/clips.
Bring back “Why You Heff to be Mad?”!
Jesus Jingles, you’re gonna get yourself banned for showing porn on Youtube.
This was easy to fap to.
Prep to initiate quarantine protocols, we don’t want to risk an outbreak of the Man Flu.
Now that Amazon are sampling celebrity voices, shouldn’t they put together a Jingles text to speech package?
Obviously have the classic phrases on the function keys.
“That’s a paddling!”
“If it’s stupid but it works… it ain’t stupid”.
“It’s made of citadels…”
“Let’s just call him Dave”
And of course the long hearty laugh when someone does something particularly stupid and gets deleted. 🙂
“An’ all that without a single drop o’rum!”
“I hope everyone saw that because I will NOT be doing that again”
6:13 At least their Japanese Carrier was a good sport about it 😀
“oh no i am a pink player, i must atone for my sins” *Proceeds to destroy entire enemy airforce*
Isn’t it weird that some of the best games are the ones where 25% or more of your team is all pink from friendly fire?!?
This reminds me of a joke involving a bear and a guy trying to kill it with a whole bunch of different types of guns.
“You’re not really here for the hunting, are you?”
@Rei Hakushi Yes please! It’s been way too long since the last one.
Ah my cousin Robert the Bruce’s best friend.
Carriers: “I fear no man! But that thing…”
*cuts to scene of Kidd eviscerating 16 planes in under 10 seconds*
“It scares me”
i would dearly love to see a new “why you heff to be mad” and “the good, the bad and the ugly”
Anyone remember random acts of violence?
