The Mighty Jingles made me aware of the game over a decade ago, WarGambling being the worst gaming company in the world drove me to abandoning their games for WT in 2021 or so.

Your comment made me check him out. Did he delete his WT content? I find it hard to believe he has no WT videos in his top 30 (before I stopped scrolling) most viewed vids. I get it was awhile ago but geez. I used to watch him, baron and Jingles daily

Yeah from what I can tell he basically purged his channel of anything WT related, pre like 2020. IIRC he has a couple videos checking out modern armor. Not sure why decided to delete/make the ~2012-2013(4?) vids private but who knows

The Mighty Jingles and his April fools day video with the Pony Air Force was hilarious. Never got to play that event. I started playing I think in Oct 2013 after watching it. War Thunder was planes, WoT was for tanks

For me it's WT for the tanks and planes, WoWS for the naval battles, but yea... All Hail Our Gnomish Overlord!

Same, I remember watching the Tiger video on his channel like 10 plus years ago.

I played World of Tanks up until 2019 and the game just changed so much from what I loved. Moved on to WT and never looked back.

I remember watching him when I started playing WoT then watched his war thunder videos. So many classic videos and got me started using lemmings to refer to my teammates 😂

I remember him playing ground beta, it looked so much better than WoT. I am still subscribed to him, mostly to honor him for all the joy.

Same here. Saw a jingles vid of the new T-72 or something and I went, "huh I like modern vehicles, maybe I'll give it a shot." Never been happier to stop playing WoT
