The Chieftain got his silver leaves a few months back.


The Chieftain (Major Nicholas Moran) has made himself quite a funny multiplier on the World of Tanks team with his dry Irish humor and his other job description, one involving getting around tanks.

* BigNameFan WebVideo/TheMightyJingles once held a contest to encourage his fans to drive the game's JokeCharacter, the horribly designed M3 Lee, and do their best to be a LethalJokeCharacter. Several players played amazing games, carrying entire teams to victory in the much-maligned tank, but the winner by a combination of straight points and outright hilarity was a player who, when he completely ran out of ammunition, [[https://youtu.be/_FIWXAs_QwI?t=24m took out the final player of the other team]] by [[RammingAlwaysWorks ramming into it]], crippling the enemy's FragileSpeedster and proceeding to "kick this Panzer III to death."

* The TOG II* hilarity reached epic proportions when, at Tankfest 2019, WebVideo/QuickyBaby gave away ''ten thousand'' rental codes for it. Tier 6 was nothing but [=TOG=]s for some time, and WebVideo/TheMightyJingles (known for his love of the TOG II*) soon [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=452Ne4vcLHI put up footage]] of an all-TOG game, complete with commentary that went full [[Creator/DavidAttenborough David]] [[WildlifeCommentarySpoof Attenborough]]

[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWA6OX8YW6o QuickyBaby's reaction]] when he first sees he succeeded in creating a game where every player is driving a TOG II* (as he terms it, at "Tog O'clock") is itself hysterically funny.

** The king of these when it comes to how fast he could get out would be the M4 Sherman. Something that he'd alluded to several times before he actually got around to looking at the Sherman itself, is that all the hatches were right above the respective crew-members, and spring loaded, enabling an easy open, and evacuation. When it came time to demonstrate, it took him longer to say "Oh bugger, the tank is on fire", than it did to actually evacuate the tank. Something that the real tank crews would be trained to do, and would be required to do in combat. He has also stated that while Shermans were easy to knock-out, their ease of recovery and repair, and the fact that their crews more often than not survived, meant that [[WeHaveReserves no Sherman crew would be out of action for very long before they were in a new tank.]]

* The Chieftain has started doing tests on some tanks to see how quickly he can open a closed hatch and exit that particular vehicle, as the crew might do in an emergency. This begins with his trademark dryness: "Oh bugger. The tank is on fire.", followed by him getting out as quickly as he can. On the Panther's commander position, the first tank he did this with, it took [[ArmoredCoffins ten seconds]] just to get the hatch open.

* Some lines in Vietnamese localized voice for tank crew, perhaps, were the most bellicose and [[LargeHam rather hammy]] among other nations:
** (Match started) "Xông lên, diệt hết chúng đi": Advance, kill them all!
** (Match started) "Xung phongggg!": Forwardddd! (or chargeeee!)
** (Match started) "Xông lên anh em!": Brothers, charge! (a common battecry among Vietnamese soldiers)
** (Caused critical damage to enemy) "Thích hổ báo à?": What, want to be that aggressive?
** (Destroyed an enemy tank) "Mày hả bưởi?: Oh, is that you? (the phrase was mostly meaningless, but it is comparable to "is that you that got hit")
** (Destroyed an enemy tank) "Chết mày đi!": Shut down, you bastard! (literally means "Die, you bastard!")
