IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad "Back in the saddle?"

This video was recorded over 2 days this weekend. A session with Bismarck and Retro as well as a second session with Retro, Dgaff, and Sturmling. We are so far overdue for a new IL-2 video and I hope you guys get some laughs as I try and shake off the rust. Sorry if my speech/voice was unusually worse, been fighting a cold.

Bismarck is writing a book and you can get it here, y'all : stukabook.com/ (Okay bismarck wrote this and I guess thinks I would use the word y'all in a written sentence...)

[@Aver-lk2cp]

hey Bo, could we play sometime? :D

[@NoName5589]

That's hilarious ^-^ As someone who lives in Texas we can definitely tell it wasn't written by a southerner but it's an adorable effort

You're back with IL 2 after 4 years

Yay

[@arcblitz7783]

I would really appretiate more IL-2 content

[@xkilljoyjoker2194]

This time on "BO"ttom Gear: The TBLF Gang reaches new heights! Bismarck goes to Alabama, Bo meets Anastasia, and Retro goes full "Yee-haw!" This and more on this episode of "BO"ttom Gear!

[@TrickiVicBB71]

I would love for that to actually happen. Bismarck travels to America and Bo brings him to Alabama.

[@foundationsoversight8479]

[@Decimare]

0:42 Bismarck “I see parts… falling off your plane.” Bo: “Don’t worry about me, I’m from Texas, this is normal.” That exchange had me wheezing on the ground

[@doomboygammer6009]

It is pretty normal, our life goal is to make Cali fall off the USA like parts fall off our trucks

[@GaldirEonai]

Loved the bomb hitting just below the destroyer's bridge with a time-delay fuse. Means the captain probably had just enough time to say "oh, fuck" before getting launched into the stratosphere :P.

i've never played IL-2, but having watched Bo and crew play I am starting to get the feeling that surviving missions is rare.

[@sharkybate7115]

Actually you spend most of the time bored, and, depending on how much time you spend practicing in peaceful missions, and how much you know about dogfighting, missions are pretty survivable. Then again, some situations aren't survivable. But that's life. Edit: Clarification

It wouldn't be an IL2 video without someone staring out the gun sight and seeing their pilot parachuting away. Usually it's Bo, this time it's Gaff. More great content folks, thank you!

Bo, Bis and the crew back in the skies quick run for cover!!!

[@TrickiVicBB71]

I am dying at the airfield commentary 😂😂

[@ajamcan7264]

I was playing IL2 as a gunner for my friend. We took off from the airfield, and after a while I decided to check the map and see where we were. I looked at my map a couple of times, and looked outside. I asked my friend “yo where are we supposed to be going again?” He told me the enemy factories. I then realized we have been flying in the wrong direction for 15 minutes. IL-2 is fucking great.

[@andrewloja5839]

So THIS is what happens when Bismarck is not there to establish law and order within TBLF in Battle of Stalingrad…..and when you present new faces to the game that only know of the War Thunder world…..goodness knows what would happen if you were to place someone like Jim, Mike, Stick, or even Bear and Moevil into a Battle of Stalingrad game without Bismarck. Another excellent war masterpiece from you, Bo! A Battle of Stalingrad video at long last!

[@XxPolpotQc]

That surprise squirrel attack at the end got me lmao

[@Spuun_]

Bo being back in the saddle: can we get Bis to sing it? "I'm riding, I'm loading up my pistol I'm riding, I really got a fistful I'm riding, I'm shining up my saddle I'm riding, this snake is gonna rattle"

The best videos TBLF make is when you can serve together as a crew; flying, fighting, and...dying...together (see also the sailing ship videos).
