How do you feel about the VISMOD/OPFOR Abrams being added to the game?

[@th0r945]

I like the vismod being added and hope they do more like this for premium vehicles

[@nathanielcabigassolis6936]

bo use the marder A1 plz

[@dev_elopmenter]

I don't like it considering gagin said that they would never introduce top teir premiums

[@kaiser9359]

It’s very annoying to deal with when trying to play Russia at the br

[@SilveradoChris]

I was happy they added it, would be cool to have more.

[@adamrichardson7758]

i'm loving the mini lore explanations for new vehicles you're doing recently, that 2 minute segment really helps picture the scene and i'd love to see it in more videos!!

[@Axle0Bullitt019]

Much agreed, would love to see this more frequently in future vids.

[@Kaarl_Mills]

It was in fact helpful, at first I thought it was a modern version of that Panther that Germans had badly attempted to make look like a US tank destroyer

[@angelcordova8511]

Definitely love some backstory to the tanks with some humor of course.

[@Clementinewoofwoof]

I love it, too, reminds me of Old history channel days

[@isaacsquire6182]

I also like this segment

[@ksmshadows]

Stick- What country are we in Bo- Krasnovia Stick- He’s not good Fate That had me laughing.

[@revengehunter0184]

That small laugh after "Krasnovia has intelligence?" Got me good lol

[@WoobooRidesAgain]

The thing that's really wild about Krasnovia (AKA the Democratic People's Republic of Krasnovia) is that it's not only an OPFOR stand-in, it actually has evolving lore. Like when Krasnovia was invented before the fall of the Soviet Union, it was a unified communist country representing a peer-to-peer military threat. Then when the Soviet Union fell, Krasnovia fell apart and became a bunch of warring states akin to the break up of the former Yugoslavia, and each separate one can be used as a stand-in as I understand it for any kind of mix-and-match post-Soviet hoedown the Army comes up with. And that's not all, either. There's stuff about the neighboring Kingdom of Parumphia and their longstanding enemy, the Republic of the Mojave, and an entire plotline about stopping the alliance of Krasnovia and Parumphia against raiding the Republic for uranium to construct WMDs. I'm not gonna lie, coming up with these scenarios sounds like being a multi-billion dollar Dungeon Master, and the players are using Abrams tanks instead of six inch pewter statuettes of wizards.

[@danielm.595]

They could make several movies and games with that!

[@Talendale]

Fun fact: Radiator damage got remodeled- if it's destroyed, the engine will gradually end up getting damage in turn until it too goes dead and red or the radiator gets repaired.

[@WalletWorrier]

"Glory to Krasnovia" should definitely be an in-game title included in the KVT pack

[@philipped.r.6385]

Papers please! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3ereXp7idiroac

[@jordanhawks1035]

I loved the history behind this tank bo, if they do this kinda thing again I would love a explanation in that same style again

[@GeneralVondeath]

This version never existed. It was the m1a1 that was used. The snail made it up

[@pigeon5520]

@@GeneralVondeath they just changed it to make it more balanced, calm down man

[@GeneralVondeath]

@@pigeon5520 I was putting it here to inform people that don't watch the whole video. Calm down 😂

[@zerrierslizer1]

@@pigeon5520 if that is a joke, it is not a good one. "Gaijin" and "Ballance" doesnt go hand in hand.

[@JETBLACKCORD]

@@zerrierslizer1 community bitches to gaijin its the wrong varient community bitches bout a preem m1a1 they dont win either way i perfer the 105 over the 120 anyway and understand what gaijin thought when creating it and apparently it was going to be the 105 but had a 120mm m1a1 needing to be scrapped so used that so there not entirely wrong

[@nekophht]

Another video full of skill, luck, and panicked call outs of dubious value. Fantastic entertainment. Keep it up!

[@ilovepenguins6765]

The chaos that started at 5:51 is nothing compared to what I experienced yesterday. I was playing in conquest Tunisa with the city as the capture point and it felt like everybody was in a light tank so we were all flying around the city and it was just a constant rumble of artillery landing and tanks firing. I have never had that experience before and I couldn't stop laughing. Just imagine what Bo and crew were dealing with but times 3.

[@GoonyMclinux]

Sounds like every 3.3 game. 😂

[@Akagi_w3lc0me]

thank you for explaining the back story of this tank, I feel like people are just ranting about this tank saying its "fake" or other stuff like that, when in reality its just a target practice tank for the US and that's all it it.

[@clonescope2433]

I hope they would add in a few more vismod vehicles preferably functional ones especially older ones like Sheridan based ones. There was a few that were modified to look like Russian tanks and also armored personnel carriers so it'd be interesting maybe an event Vehicles if it's more limited number and everyone has the opportunity to get it

[@JamesErath]

Bo, just want to say I appreciate your little vehicle explanations that you do; it's nice to hear your thoughts on the vehicle as well as getting to watch the gameplay.

[@bullwinkle5445]

In the old days (circa 1973) the Opfor was known as the circle triag (symbol was a triangle inside a circle) And a funny attachment to infantry helmets

[@compliantcorgi4959]

Loved the info about this Abrams Bo, i never knew the US made this version.

[@fazsum41]

I gotta say Bo i am loving these little info tid bits you have been doing in these vids.

[@skittlesjones4119]

Interesting mini lore explanation of the tank. Also good stuff as always Bo ❤

[@dergonmcdragon3161]

I love this arguments that they were talking about Krasnovian rights to the tank, i've heard rants to this tank were pretty funny

[@A-10brrrrrrrt]

Keep up the good work I’ve been watching since 2016 and you never seem to disappoint

[@stick_person857]

You are a true fan then damn congrats

[@rayfeltz8477]

Loved the 2 minutes of lore in the beginning. Also one of your best vids.

[@bradfordbroswtent.8450]

The ''M'' in M22, stands for Morale, so if you get an M22 on your team, that automatically gets you an extra 22 morale points to anyone on your team, or whoever is nearest to that little tonka tank.

[@Spuun_]

Thank god you did the explanation of what the hell this is. Because my question for the first minute of the vid was, "What the hell is this?" Like a T-72 and an M1 had a kid...

[@phillipg9345]

Huzzahs for Bo for quality consistent content for our viewing pleasure!

[@th0r945]

Omg Bo went full krasnovian lol. Great video Bo, Stick and Fate

[@Phoenix_Phelan]

Thank you for the technical info on this tank! Was wondering what the story behind it was

[@Mr.Minnesota1906]

Was waiting for this one! Glad to see you play it and of course, for the algorithm!

[@neiljohnston1274]

Never knew this tank existed till now, this video is fun and educational. Nice touch

[@SethAaronDrums]

Been to NTC three times as a Bradley driver, gunner, and commander. Some good times out there!

[@peeked5487]

love how u talk about new or old veicles very informal keep up the amazing vids also would love to seee a vid on the f5c

[@MikeIke2983]

i really like the explanations at the beginning of your recent videos! keep them in please!

[@toddtroyer1072]

Funny to hear someone mention NTC, was stationed for my tour in the late 80s there.

[@nikoclesceri2267]

"Krasnovia doesn't take rights away, those are just international allegations." that made me laugh

[@ripkid2569]

love the history lesson on the tank

[@LudensP]

Appreciate you explaining the background of this vehicle.

[@1969Risky]

2:30 They're Krasnovia egg cartons (aka Object 181E) where the tank crews keep their eggs. Also the Krasnovia Tank Centre Number 1 Plant process chicken eggs & hand grenades to save time & money by using the same equipment. Glory to Krasnovia!

[@draracos42]

That TURMS in the smoke probably screamed when you ran into him. He probably thought he had escaped. Lol

[@jamesTBurke]

@4:57 reminds me of Roman's orange Lamborghini in that one fast n furious movie that has little nobody and dom finds out about his son from cypher

[@darren8517]

Stick has to make the blooper reel for that fall. lol!

[@Edwards4ID]

I love Fate's "Deja Vu" moment on the ice. xD

[@arctrooperecho2654]

Always glad to see Bo upload

[@GelatinCoffee]

War thunder: now presenting, technically historically accurate tanks Bo: calling bullshit and informing us plebs who don't actually know, the truth

[@edgychico9311]

I wish if they added more training tanks like this one.

[@Rga01-01]

Bo, did you in the turms at least exchange insurance? In that accident

[@ammoniumphosphate]

great video bo!

[@praetor678]

At least you didn't start singing the national anthem!! I was having thoughts of Groucho Mark singing "Hail Freedonia"!! Great video, bad idea for OPFOR vehicles to be added! o7

[@ardrek_]

Brilliant video!!

[@SilveradoChris]

I needed a good laugh today and was just what I needed 😂

[@Thomas_979]

Enjoyed the video keep up the good work

[@Ajthepjk8030]

Great video Bo! LAV'd my AAs off lol

[@icy427]

Great video Bo :)

[@jackwalters5506]

As for adding a 10.3 premium, I don't have too much of a problem with it at this point since they already did that with the panzer battalion

[@supershadow102007]

i think adding these OPFOR vics are just funny to me and i wouldn't mind it

[@19megalodon90]

I was stationed at one of those duty stations, we used to use those several years ago, we no longer use them they use 113's with mods now, lol

[@baghdaddymike6669]

Spent the better part of the 90s fighting the Kraznovians in the swamps of Louisiana and the woods of Kentucky

[@LooseGoose81]

Looks like fun!

[@shawnyounger3645]

Hey Bo love your videos. Fellow Texan here live up by Ft.Worth. Lived in Austin for 6 months at the DPS Academy.

[@dabiga2315]

Fate was doing _work_ at the B point in the last game there

[@Azraeltheangelofdeath]

Honestly I don't even think the opfor vehicles need to be premiums just add in a modification option for the vehicles in the normal tech tree, so people can use them at their leisure

[@DwagonMaster]

You've been busy this month, which is a good thing.

[@StarFoxHeroSJ]

Ah, beautiful Krasnovia, Known for it's wonderful waffles!

[@EverettoBurrito2740]

i Love my m1 kvt because i am so close to finishing the USA ground tech tree and its very fun to play

[@TomPrickVixen]

I'm surprised no "TaleSpin" jokes were in the video (u know; Thembria is like Krasnovia). And I guess the disguise could not fool the "Eastern block" after all...

[@captaindreadnought212]

"what country is this tank from?" "it no longer exists"

[@lordwintertown8284]

It's a surprise you didn't call broken arrow at the end with all that carnage heh.

[@omegasupremez2832]

Bo Time Yes!

[@dev_elopmenter]

Literally 30 seconds in and I'm already laughing this is gonna be a good vid

[@Teedo_]

Krosnovia sound like a faction in Papers, please but I'll trust you on this one. I also love the original Russian Krosnovian variants 1 and 2

[@xtlegacy1020]

Never miss an opportunity to bully a bmp

[@Shrike58]

I have some friends who do historic recreations and dressed up as members of a US OPFOR force used in the 1960s. Not sure that it was called Krasnovia at that point.

[@phill2065]

like how you're using a literal training vehicle in combat

[@redbullet2024]

they suold add them in it would be fun to see tank i never knew were repurposed like that

This is such a wierd tank, with a back story!

[@ant4812]

In Australia our OPFOR are the "Musorians".

[@Me-xo4wk]

Gotta LAV these jokes

[@pauld6967]

It is nice that you put an explanation for OPFOR on the screen but you left off an important detail for those unfamiliar with the military: what the acronym stands for. OPpossing FORces.

[@skybuprofen9834]

Now I'm wondering: would it break the game to have the laser rangefinder on the Abrams platform function as it does in real life, both adjusting the gun tube's elevation and inducing lead based on distance and speed?

[@Orquartz]

Cool m1!

[@aeomus26]

I am Krasnovian and glory to you, Bo!

[@cjbelanger9347]

Best thing to watch after getting dental work done

[@kierangallears2670]

Omg it's the brother of the M-10 panther Camouflaged to be something it isn't

[@davidlukasko7556]

Abrams has been chambered in both 105 and 120mm. I would like to see the m110 self-propelled howitzer make it in. It fires a 203 mm.

[@boanerges5723]

knowing the US military and the way things happen - the fake ERA is probably made out of titanium or something more exotic/expensive...or its cardboard they make people makes during an activity to improve morale. The M1 originally had a 105mm M68 main gun. The tanks used for the OPFOR are old units that were mothballed, the 105mm is accurate for the early models.

[@johncee853]

I wish the XM1 had the M774 round...but then they would probably raise its battle rating!

[@Wunicorn]

i really like it as a one of thing, really find it cool tho

[@Ghostpotato7]

You should make a compilation of all the clips you had to cut from the final videos

[@zawseh1553]

Fun fact the text on the side of the turret actually says "vodka" not boat

[@TheCoyote808]

Is Krasnovia in the midwest? If so we can get the Krasnovian adventures of Jim and Stick. :D

[@LAHFaust]

You will never have more fun in the military than being OPFOR.

[@paulw9516]

Youz must take a shot of wodka every time you say 'glory to Krasnovia! '
