We thought it might be the prefect to revisit German Low Tier since there are a lot of players running around at this Battle Rating. The Churchills are a formidable foe with their armor and the Half Pak is the perfect tool for the job. I hope you enjoy the video and if you ever have any question always feel free to post them in the comments.

How much sawdust can you put into a Rice Krispie Treat before people start to notice?

[@laytonsmith8872]

86 grams

[@TRIGGER49]

At least a table spoon 😂

[@ihiminen3393]

Id say ~98.5 grams ​@@laytonsmith8872

[@jermainemedlock]

All of it

[@MisplacedFlowerpot]

How did you post a comment 5 hours before the video released?

[@ryderadams8575]

"Obi Wan Kenobi Tractor" My favorite quote from Jim.

[@NCR-National-Reclamation-Gov]

Mine is when he said purge the heretics and the unclean in holy fire

[@generalmarkmilleyisbenedic8895]

Cringe OP.

[@jameskarg3240]

5:40 bo, ya played this long enough to know: Track goes over the side of the bridge, NOTHING can save that tank. Same logic in physics that got Killdozer

[@khannaraha8817]

Today on BTG: Stickboy meets someone at the Mall, Bo realised he packed light and Jim Attenborough is out collecting for a new museum exhibit.

[@justsomegerman2661]

Best comment ever

[@toddthreess9624]

Only trouble with magnet fishing is, you can't have a derby. All the magnets just get hopelessly stuck to eachother.

[@KibuFox]

"She threw her paint can at me..." I lost it at that.

[@popkxw]

Bo hated playing the AVRE so much now he wants to take his anger out on them 😂

[@alexthorn8050]

I don't think this is talked about enough. War thunder is not an easy game, and bo absolutely stomps the enemy team most videos. I understand that he probably only uploads videos that have funny moments and/or good gameplay, but he is still really good at war thunder.

[@TheTutch]

He is really good an makes it look easy (which caused me some frustration when starting to play the game😂). But watch him play solo on twitch and you'll see how much of a difference having a squad makes. Situaltional awareness just breaks down when playing solo, and you are very limited in your options of how to play an encounter. So the real lesson here is get a bunch of others to play with and you'll be much more successful

[@crimsonvictory8393]

​@@TheTutch yeah, having a team to support eachother makes a world of difference. There are plenty of instances of Bo only surviving cause one of his friends was there to help, it's funny what happens when you play a team game as a team, which is a lot harder with randoms.

[@TrickiVicBB71]

Yeah, I watch Stickboy solo and dies pretty quick. When is with TBLF, he usually lasts a few minutes longer

[@botimegaming]

@@TheTutch For sure there is also honestly a challenge or reading chat, talking to people, and trying to focus on a game where folks are starting at there screens or pre setup. I try to mix conversation and interaction over game play while streaming. Also to be honest, I play for way too long on stream. After about 3 hour of War Thunder my matches go into the ground and I really decay lol. During recording I can really fully lock in for those better matches for youtube. Also War Thunder is a game meant to be played in squads or with a battle buddy. Even in real life you typically wouldnt send one vehicle or one person out to complete an objective.

[@NaturalGarethFan]

I remember when everyone was like “It’s a Churchill at 2.7? It’s unkillable” and I simply remembered every Panzer 4 I’ve ever played.

[@Lahnapihvi]

To be fair, a lot of those "unkillable" comments are talking about AVRE as a top tier, where the only german long 75 it can face is Marder III.

[@NaturalGarethFan]

@@Lahnapihvi The Pz. F2 can easily pen it

[@s4sausage135]

​@@NaturalGarethFan dosent that use a heat shell? avres coverd in adon armour plus im not mad its 2.7 im mad its 2.7 wile being an upgrade of a 4.0 tank

[@NaturalGarethFan]

@@s4sausage135 No?? I got straight domed by APHE, and I know it can penetrate parts of the side armor, especially right where the driver/ammo is. Plus the MG Port on both the front hull and frontal turret are weak spots.

[@Lahnapihvi]

@@NaturalGarethFan Yes, but F2 is 3.3, so AVRE can get into matches where the enemy won't have F2's (or G for that matter).

[@nekophht]

I have to wonder... any chance we can get viewers to park a variety of tanks (with varying amounts of non-total concealment) around an area of the map and have stick inside that area having to ID tanks, with points awarded for accuracy and speed? Like, 1 pt for right nation, 3 for right "family" (Sherman, T-34, etc), 5 for correct ID, then maybe 5pt for

[@komradtheslav7913]

I hear the opening speech and i know this one is going to be good

[@durhamdavesbg4948]

It seems the days of Stick misidentifying vehicle is certainly coming to a middle.

[@_WyreTheWolf]

The conversation between Jim and Stick about The Fat Electrician is great.

[@botimegaming]

Dear god...

[@TexanTerror13]

Timestamp?

[@_WyreTheWolf]

@@TexanTerror13 3:44 If you would like the two references, search for "America Dismantles Pirate Nations For Touching Their Boats - The Barbary Wars" and "War Tractor - Don't Mess With Farmers - John Deere A1/A2".

[@No1sonuk]

@15:06 Don't worry, Stickboy: Some of us got the joke... 😀

[@DALONEWOLF108]

I love how at 6:07 he didn’t realize he one shot an avre when he’s been trying to hunt them

[@roganlarrett]

Cam jou pls do the m109 next from Germany

[@RyRy_941]

You guys sure had your hands full trying to bag your limit of AVREs!! This was a hunting expedition for the ages. Fantastic video as well, gentlemen!! Nice to see Jim is back.

[@fraciscaaguilar455]

hi i like your vids

[@zeacrossstormblade6819]

14 AVREs "successfully" hunted by Bo and the Gang

[@Queen_Bee_82]

Your videos are getting me through some tough times! Thank you for the laughs!! Love you guys!! 🥹 💜

[@ethanmb116]

Jim is the new David Attenborough, we need more of it:)

[@willsimpson6829]

Why do I believe that Jim could be a voice actor?

[@DutchBart666]

Sounds like stickboy needs a trip to spec savers...

[@Blitz57YT.]

the half pak is devious

[@pootmahgoots8482]

Caterpillar started making tracked tractors before they made bulldozers. They continued to manufacture tracked tractors and their agriculture division turned into the Caterpillar Challenger tractor line and they built large, high horsepower tracked tractors. I grew up near their manufacturing HQ in Jackson, MN. My dad and I always dreamed of having a Cat Challenger.

[@pauld6967]

Bo, it's better to face a sarc attack ( 14:55 ) than a sarcnado. 😄

[@Phoenix_Phelan]

Love the Pak-Track! Jim always has me dying throughout these vids xD Great video Bo!

[@ShawnF6FHellcat]

Nice to know that Stick and Jim are educated in the ways of HLC and Fat Electrician! That mall becomes a CoD Zombies map with so many Derphills!!! Jim also knows of the Deku Scrubs from Majora's Mask?! A man after my own heart!

[@dekkionkow]

I think it would be fun to see your crew play a few games in Arcade. JUST FOR FUN! I can just imagine the WTH!!! moments

[@kaiberuss]

the way jim was "saying" that song reminds me of the movie convoy, the main song was said in such a similar fashion

[@kansasdave1426]

*Churchill AVRE exist* German 75mm: absolutely not

[@TacticalJazzhands]

14:32 the AS 42 trying it's best to save you was adorable

[@CheddarRex4]

You already know it’ll be a good vid when Jim starts it with one of his voices

[@blameb3659]

2 views in 1 minute Bo you need to lock in with these videos

[@Electric_Bagpipes]

Which color paint can does the bo-team prefer to be smited with?

[@TerminatorJoga]

BO, I had the same ideia for the video, but i used the other Half track, the one with rockets. We almost made the "same" video. 😅

[@CalebGraber-g4s]

Hay Bo what is your favorite tank and can you play it

[@vickylucas9349]

Has anyone else noticed the friendlies name at 15:45

[@jermainemedlock]

Hello bo

[@EthanMilley-o6s]

Pls make alpha jet video

[@a..c..2469]

My tank smells like poop

[@letlotlokhakhathiba4777]

I was in this vidoe 2 times

[@ThroneOfBhaal]

Battling a bit of depression right now, these videos and your banter help a lot at keeping the brain demons at bay. Thank you all for making them and know they do help some people and you are making a difference, even if you don't know it or expect it. 😊

[@botimegaming]

Thank you for saying hello and hope you feel better. We all have these battles and you are not alone.

[@ThroneOfBhaal]

@@botimegaming Thank so much mate, means a lot. :) Just takin' everything one day at a time. You got me into War Thunder - not sure if I should thank you for that, I'm terrible at it but its good, often frustrating, fun. xD

Attempt number 1138: Please try out the Stridsvagn m/42 Delat Torn. (Labelled as the Strv. m/42 DT in the Swedish tech tree.)

Replies will continue until the algorithm makes them reach Bo.

[@dawnandrew7846]

Hi

[@denniscruz1325]

3rd one here let’s go

[@fazsum41]

Aye Princess Jim is back

[@ihiminen3393]

Bo first plays the AVRE then hunts them

[@rambysophistry1220]

So, I am 3 months late, but all I could think about at the start was the song "(I've go a) Combine harvester".

[@DrymarchonShaun]

3:46 I love how far the "don't touch America's boats" joke has spread, along with how much the perception of Poland has shifted in recent months thanks to internet culture. More and more people think of them as "a Little European Texas" and it's great.

[@robertlinke2666]

don't magnet fish in most of western Europe tho, there is a good chance you will find some WW2 Ordnance, which might very well blow up when disturbed. yes, this is a genuine concern, there is still a lot of unexploded bombs and shells from ww2 lying around. usually not something you have to think about, but when you start looking for it..

[@TrickiVicBB71]

Stickboy is like my favourite KZbinr, The Mighty Jingles. Misidentifies tanks and ships all the time.

[@FooteThomas12]

Does Stick have a PO Box? Need to send him a tank identification book. Haha. Love you guys. Y’all are the best!

[@chase.lehmann]

Jim's characters never disappoint. They're absolutely fantastic.

[@Kettleman1.0]

British infantry tank hunter jim is back from his tog 2 expedition now hunting churchill avre's

[@TheDragonGamerTV]

This and the Pak Puma are my two favorite vehicles in the game. Both are just goofy and have incredible main guns.

[@IceSki117]

Anyone else here cringe when they here the Churchill AVRE fire and get flashbacks to the Sturmtiger flood?

[@-BTE-]

First

[@Melancholi-Angel]

Play the Black Prince, it's been a long time since you have and while we're on the subject of Churchill's it might be nice?

[@LambvinskisGaming]

Hey I was thinking about using this half track to hunt AVREs and making a video also! haha!

[@LAHFaust]

I'll be honest, I was kind of hoping you weren't going to find a single AVRE until the end where you come around a corner and it slaps you.

[@ChrisSmith-bp3cf]

They should bring back the sdkfz 251/22

[@TheCoyote808]

Has anybody checked up on Jim lately? Sounds like he needs some quality Case IH time.

[@jadethemarksmanwolf7020]

When this thing got released. I called it, The AVRE is the most situational tank in the game. Leading to it being nothing more then a free kill 99% of the time

[@InquisitorKalt]

My favorite TD, something I can’t unsee though is the missing firing mechanism in the breach… 😅

[@mikistenbeck6517]

okey, if you can't tell the difference between a Wolf and a Chi-ha, you need to stop. XDD

[@janetgoedhart9402]

Man, Centurion AVRE’s keep on killing me in my trusty T-26 :(

[@ae_house_of_fun]

Farmall is the best tractor series, the old ones specifically, and then for steam traction engines it's avery. For new ones it's case but I hate new tractors

[@chocolateskull6239]

"Stick, are you getting a little bit Yandere?" the fan fiction, frankly writes itself these days

[@generalmarkmilleyisbenedic8895]

Dumptrucks? Me and stickboy thug shake our dump-trucks, thats for sure

[@TrickiVicBB71]

I picture Jim more of those 1800 British trophy animal hunters than a safari guy

[@texasslingleadsomtingwong8751]

Stick sees an m10 and thinks its chi- ha long gun , 😂. No sweat Stick , im just as bad sometimes 😅

[@Isdanoob]

I have no idea how there was that many Churchill AVRE's i have only ever seen one.

[@GauShark]

I hate how bo doesn't have object permanence as the first thing he shot and took out it's engine he immediately forgot about

[@nightwolf2378]

I love my PakTrack since i took it a few times to 6.7 and got more kills with it then I did my tiger 2 lol

[@apyllyon]

Bo killing the AVRE like he had tried to hunt like a white whale, failing to notice it at 6:12-6.13 .

[@elijahsellers3727]

Hey, could you do a video with the M3 75mm halftrack?

[@FisherHDX]

The tractor conversation cracked me up. Ima start an argument. CaseIH is better. If it ain’t red leave it in the shed.

[@JonathanShirey-jk6iq]

*rule Britannia intensifying* when I get a full down tier on a city map in the AVRE

[@Kyriit5425]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the churchill avre's didnt deserve this

[@gijskramer1702]

I hate churchills when playing as soviets. Can pen them for shit

[@yukotani7871]

Yeah why is my country just japan lol you boys are so funny love the vids

[@lukedavies8467]

I thought I was watching war thunder not National Geographic

[@thekronianserpent6523]

Why is Jim's first instinct to hunt weird British Tanks in a British Accent?

[@alexandrews3522]

As a person who grew up in southern MN ITS Case IH all the way

[@the-blues-three]

Jim should change his profession and become a voice actor

[@nosnhoj99]

I like the idea of doing a video on a derp tank, and then the next video is hunting said derp tank.

[@THEHOLYCHAINSWORD]

The m3 halftrack can also do very well agaisnt avres

[@rossmello4962]

The only vehicle I regret missing out on, wish there was a way to get it…

[@santiagovidal1419]

I think we need to see more Churchill AVREs

[@ithoughtshewas18]

Did Bo just say he married a girl who had a kubota? 😮

[@flamingpotato8906]

this could go on national (war thunder) geographic lol

[@VicariousReality7]

Bo rolling around with no HE or machineguns, without a care in the world

[@lewisbenzie845]

Sarc, sarc, sarc, to the vibe of Mine, mine, mine :D

[@Superawesome043]

This thing looks like something made in Crossout lmao

[@TreeDude365]

As a farmer I get mad when people touch my tractors

[@ammoracked]

Pakwagen is one of my favorite vehicles. I regularly take it to around 9.7 and hunt for godmodes

[@duckbuck5818]

Why isn’t this on the marketplace?

22:32 - could Stick crash any closer to Bo? 🤔
