[@liladoodle]

Mounds.

[@SuperMaxdragon]

Reese cups!

[@valhallasrevenge]

you're a real big boy youtuber in my heart Bo. you don't need no silly intro.

[@SinisterMD]

Sturmling never disappoints. Referencing Tusken Raiders with regards to both of you moving in on a target. Genius. 25:40

[@khannaraha8817]

Today on BTG: Sturmling disapproves of Bo's paint scheme, Stickboy wants belly rubs and Bo goes for the underneath parts.

[@jamesstevenson9056]

Top Gear theme song and Jeremy Clarkson announcing voice

[@franzvonoverbeck8541]

0:48 That silence when Sturmling hints that you're not a youtuber... 😅😂🤣

[@Radlerstriker]

im glad that im not the only one who hates the changes they made to that map, they even got rid of the big bridge on the one side

[@thaKitsune]

They really do want to force us to play the maps how they want....

[@liladoodle]

Imagine if Gaijin ever adds another Russian vehicle that's not in service yet IRL, like the T-14 Armata.

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

If they did do that, I think the player-base would riot again.

[@ARMY-1941]

Well Gayjin likes giving Russian tanks hope of actually being decent, not the pile of rubbish they are irl

[@purpul2399]

These are just a propaganda machines, not worth it :D

[@honeybadgerbomb4469]

Only Russian gets that treatment, that's why UK has a Challenger 3

[@seb_1504]

Is the challenger 3 in service?

[@n00bl3t99]

I would love to watch the absolute chaos that would ensue from paired drone + artillery (ie. you drone scout and stickboy tries to hit the target with the arty) - this might be better as a hide-n-seek video maybe?

[@RyRy_941]

Terrific video! I got the 2S38 during the last big sale earlier in the year and was wondering why it wasn't doing as great as I've seen in the past. Now I know it is somewhat me and somewhat the changes made to the vehicle.

[@olleronn616]

Gun depression is its major flaw imo: a lot of cover becomes cumbersome to fire over. But yeah, as a light tank/spaa combo you can’t go wrong

[@DragoonDante]

There HAS been alot of bad flodding in eastern europe lately, wouldn´t put it past gajin to raise the water levels on according maps.

[@Phoenix_Phelan]

Great video Bo! Love the bit in the beginning where you review the vehicle, was great addition!

[@deezpeople]

Love bo’s lineup goes from premium to squadron to tech tree

[@RenaultFT]

The addition of the massive autoloader and the FCS in the front of the vehicle have definitely nerfed this thing from what it once was, but that 57 can still clean house. It just can't get sneezed at anymore as it erupts

[@shoxzone5820]

T-80UK ask Sturmling about the reverse gear, lol thx Bo

[@mezz44]

solid advice bo on the 2s38, got mine. Just waiting for the packs to go on sale.

[@thetendertroll4617]

I love it when Bo plays modern tanks.

[@masswolf]

I love you videos. I get to see all the new stuff I’ll never get to play in my lifetime. I’ve been playing war thunder since 2013 and I’m yet to get to any modern stuff.

[@TazGaming141]

Wow and ive just started and am already at top tier

[@The_Royal_Guard]

The 2S38 has no right to be this broken. If you need a recommendation for another vehicle to play, Bo, mine are the DF-105 or the F-4F ICE. Thanks!

[@Demolition_Frog]

the attempt to convince stick that his tank was amphibious was great, not sure why he didn't believe a fact but let him be boring, he is the one missing out

[@kermit_thefrog029]

Ah yes, the Vehicle that had more dead space than a LVT.

[@Kettleman1.0]

The new internal modules definatley made it better to face against

[@nekophht]

So if the A Factory is responsible for all As, does that include the A's sports team? :D Keep up the good work, Bo & Co!

[@botimegaming]

That would explain alot about the A's...

[@verumlegatum1014]

😂

[@Darklordnl]

why does this thing look like something my little sister would make when just throwing boxes on boxes

[@ammoniumphosphate]

Rip LVT river tours on that one map :,(. Great video bo and co! If possible, i would love to see a video on the Mig 15 or the BV 238!

[@thaKitsune]

They really do want to force us to play the maps how they want....

[@Alpha_Arc]

Those water levels are concerningly high. That's definitely not the intended clearance, looks like there's a flood going on. I probably wouldn't trust one of those bridges to carry anything

[@thaKitsune]

They really do want to force us to play the maps how they want....

[@Frozenflare]

Great video and nice information regarding usage and value as a premium tank

[@TheArklyte]

The funniest part is that it doesn't use some new state of the art 57mm, nope, that's the old S-60 from 1950's(more like 1930's), the same as on ZSU-57-2 and PT-57.

[@taistelusammakko5088]

That is so very russian

[@Enemy0fMine1415]

"Taking the underneath parts" Bo must be a spectacular date...

[@thedarkfaegaming]

I know this wouldn't be a popular request, but I'd love to see some British jet gameplay. Particularly in the rank range just before getting the Gripen. I want to see how to effectively grind it XD

[@deadronin47]

6:00 O my Gosh the abc

[@xtlegacy1020]

Stickboy going matrix on missiles would be a good intro

[@dabiga2315]

genuinely a crime that you can't swim up the river on eastern europe anymore

[@thaKitsune]

They really do want to force us to play the maps how they want....

[@Mucky_Muck]

@@thaKitsune The way they're forcing to play straight up head on is disgusting. So many flanks have been removed/blocked too.

[@baghdaddymike6669]

The A factory looks like something Springsteen sung about in the 70’s! Miss you guys! Keep up the amazing content!!!!

[@jmannor]

A good premium to feature would be the m18 or even the tech tree m18 since they are really helpful at grinding the US tech tree

[@bradfordbroswtent.8450]

USSR KV-2 (ZiS-6). German KW-II 754(r). US MBT T20. Swedish Kungstiger and SAV. 20.12.48.

[@SpeedyCM]

Considering the yellow/brown colour of the grass it is clearly late summer/early autumn so water levels should be at their lowest.

[@Fiasco3]

Agreed they modified the bridges 'the fun police', I used to sail under them in a pt-76. I was thinking that when watching the video. Getting sick of these map shrinking and un-needed modifications to maps.

[@LiterallyADHD]

Hey Bo, did you know you can launch tanks into orbit with high BR napalm? My personal favourite to use is the frog foot as it sends things to space the best

[@Kyriit5425]

"You said you wanted to be cool like a real youtuber" Dear god Sturmling, did you have to kill him like that?

[@Queen_Bee_82]

💜 Great video as always

[@gameknight8882]

Earliest I’ve ever been for any video, love your stuff Bo

[@TomPrickVixen]

Owne it for a long time now, but never was my 1st to spawn vehicle, in fact i still have free repairs on mine. And they did took the extra effort to ruin each version of the "Europe" map. THE SHOOTING RANGE 211 if u want to see how the bridges use to look.

[@bokoblinlogic1619]

It’s a premium

[@mmx4gaming12]

Whenever i watch these guys i feel like im watching rhe war thunder equivalent of police academy

[@Gwydion_Wolf]

The A factory i heard also produces Asbestos :P

[@williamludwick77]

14:44 some?! You have "Stalinium" the lights and strongest material known to man (well at to Gaijin) 🤨

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

So I learned that the 2S38 is just a more fancy BMP-3, and it's not even in service yet. Whatever next? The T-14 Armata, the VPK-7829 Bumerang, or even the 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV?

[@liladoodle]

If they ever do add those vehicles, I think Gaijin is just doubling down on the Russian Bias allegations.

[@ammoniumphosphate]

they're going to have to eventually if they are focusing on modern vehicles.

[@thaKitsune]

They raised the water level?! First very big Killzones to limit the map game zone, now this... At this pace Gaijin is gonna start adding indestructible fences to force us to play the maps how they want.....

[@TazGaming141]

I need to get this tank

[@bavondale]

23:58 "yeah, for a desert" lol

[@judygoeselectric]

I think I'm going to be getting like 30 tech tree vehicles bought this anniversary, mainly Russia, US, and UK. I already have the KVT, and I think I'm probably going to get this and the T-80UD, so maybe you could do a video on the Khalid? Awesome vids, Bo and Co.

[@myglich1]

Great vid! Would love you to do a video on the Khalid in the GB tech tree! That’s slept on so much

[@thecrowsnesthobbies8650]

Was fonzzie from happy days an A factory worker?

[@scrink9117]

I approve of the intro, I quite like it despite sturmlings issues with it lol

[@wierdwesterner]

"All the benefits and memories you can make here".... Neither "benefits" nor "memories" have an "a" in them, so Stick won't be making any of those at the A factory at all.

[@noahsawesomevids422]

i dont think you will never get a profesional intro because how crazly funny yall are

[@MrDashpilot]

Any chance playing the British A.C.IV tank. I never see that one get used. And maybe the Centurion Action X I was thinking of picking it up just so I’d have a Rank IV prem to grind with.

[@swgard1]

Good for you for not bringing greater attraction to vehicles you feel to be OP/broken! Most content creators these days would do it just for the views without stopping for their ethics and morals of protecting the quality of the game.

[@FubukiKai]

It would be nice if you would make a playlist and add something in the title+thumbnail to indicate that this video is one of those videos in the series of good premiums!

[@dilophosauruschannel9525]

Hey bo i dont know if its still a thing but i think i would be fun to do a video about the current napalm launching bug

[@richardstory6650]

Bo, I was watching an old video and I saw you used an Avro Shackleton. Is there a separate video for it, or can you pull it out and play it?

[@RazgrizRaptor]

Some of that T-80UD info would be great to have. I was hoping for your buyer's commentary video this year because of that tank.

[@TexasRedH3]

The 2S38, what a spooky little thing, also poor Wiesel

[@egmccann]

If Stick got hired at the A factory, he'd have to change his name to Stackboy.

[@PopeyedLeek]

Love the content TBLF

[@BritishTeaLover]

Can't wait for the Wyvern video!

[@sabregunner1]

it may only be a bit tamed, but its still a beast

[@professorfunpancake9454]

You wanted bug track fixes? How about another USSR tank that nobody asked for as a premium - Gaijin

[@No1Victim]

So you remember the upside down churchill video you did way back? Well spookston did a video on napalm flipping closed top tanks...... SO I figure you might wanna have some fun with a silly bug. Also They Battle pass He177 A-3/R3 they got. seems ai is bugged in it and will shoot down planes in the hangar. XD

[@ogamer9250]

We gonna get a su-24 vid? no worries if not it's just you guys make everything more entertaining

[@suzukyawarships7582]

My problem with the 2s38 is the fact it is a hstvl, with 4x the ammo capacity, at 10.3

[@MrSinny]

Great video as always !

[@Vinemaple]

Look at the color of that water. That river is definitely in flood!

[@TotallyNotRicardio223]

I was going to suggest the AMX-13 SS.11, but then I remembered that you did a video on it just 9 months ago.

[@wolfcommando8467]

Seeing a top tier (10.3-12.0) Simulator game could be a funny break, Incase you guys need it.

[@ardrek_]

A premium review in a comedic guise :-)

[@crazzysquirrel9145]

Great video bo and guys

[@Starwalker-dm4mg]

"no longer the dominant beast it once was.." bro you're smoking something if you think it's not still BUSTED.

[@botimegaming]

Anything with a autocannon is still strong in the game and is the current meta but with it facing Leopard 2s and the much bigger ammo module. It is far from what it used to be.

[@VNG_oof]

Belgeitpanzerpoopenfarterwhateverthefuck is far more menacing then this thing (Italian main)

[@nismosvt5930]

Why would they lower the bridges and make the amphibious tanks that there are already few of, more useless, that's like one of the only avenues on that map for an amphibious tank to make a play and they take it away what??

[@IcedBroom]

I don't think you guys have done the m1a1 click bait in a while but I want to see you guys play either the m26 pershing or the m36 jackson the one without the roof please :'(.

[@Niemand93-r7p]

Close your eyes. Imagine the HSTVL but it is good. Now open your eyes. you will see the 2S38.

[@emilysmite9356]

Lol this thing is an absolute menace still. A br raise and whatever little thing they did to it means nothing really. Still busted for what it is.

[@SpawnofChaos]

I'd like to put in a request for the Maus, since it'll probably be back for the sale again.

[@CecilioSprayetti]

Would the WMA 301 or the T-69 IIG be the better choice for China? I'm leaning towards the WMA for its higher optic zoom, thermals, and quicker reload but I've seen one or two people say the T-69 is the better pickup lol

[@TroublingStatue]

I'd like to see a video on the KV-122 if possible. Your last video on it was 4 years ago (slightly before volumetric shells were added I think) and, in general, there seems to be a lack of up to date videos on that tank. Granted I already bought it lol, but maybe a potential video could help out other people that are on the fence about it.

[@charleslaas5162]

I'd love to see y'all play some scary games for Halloween :)

[@sethhart478]

Can I put in my request for a premium to play/review: AC IV Sentinel. I'm thinking about getting it but there are little to no videos on it. (Probably because it's in the British tree) On paper it looks like it's good for it's B.R but I would love to see your thoughts on it. Thx for another great video from all the crew.

[@e2gosselin]

[@rocketeer454]

Please I need more Comet (tank) or Cromwell videos! My life doesn't depend on it or anything but its been so long xD

bro just casually sais, "when you get to 10.3 go ahead and unlock the 2s38 as a secondary, Bro i ahve been playing war thunder for nearly every day for 14 years and im still at 3.5 germany :( i could use a press account like you :(

[@ZulutheTainted]

It's not a premium but I'm dying to see the HE-177 A-3 gameplay!

[@willsimpson6829]

Amazing video

[@Stuka_Thunder]

Hey bo, with the new sales, dk u think its more with it to buy the t80UD or the 2s38

[@botimegaming]

T-80UD would be the better choice in my opinion.

[@Stuka_Thunder]

@@botimegaming Ok thank you wr were planning buying it. Also thanks for replying and good video and merry christmas (very early) lol

ah yes let's paint the 2s38 to look like a CIRCUIT BOARD

[@elitedangerousfan4610]

The beginning when stick is flipped on the pillar were u lazy and didn't want to use the tow hook? Just curious

[@botimegaming]

Nah, I just knew I could push him over like that. Depends on the situation. Played the game for a long time and have a lot of squad mates flip themselves.

[@elitedangerousfan4610]

@@botimegaming ah ok I uninstalled a few months ago because I suck at the game so there goes my chance of getting the maus

[@Sasquatch2384]

Really enjoyed the video.

[@ghosthunteytOntwitch]

I humbly request a video on the Premium A-20G-30 in the Russian tree, its custom payloads and the airframe are incredible at its BR, I love the aircraft in air and ground RB
