M36B2 - "Rescue One Saves The Day!"

[@botimegaming]

Tomorrow June 6th will be the anniversary of D-Day. My Grandfather and Grandmother both served in the United States Military during World War II. They were two of the most hardworking and honest people I have ever met. The Greatest Generation is mostly no longer with us but it is important to remember their sacrifices and their stories. There are a lot of great books out there and I encourage you over the summer to pick one up and read it. If you need help with a suggestion, I would recommend Adam Makos's Spearhead for you tank guys or Higher Call for aviation folks. Both are tremendous stories that I think you would enjoy, as well as a great way to remember that generation. Let us know what your favorite World War II book is and would you recommend it? I am always looking to add to my library.

[@bino_1]

Thanks for sharing this!

[@Quacker783]

I recommend a book called Guts and Glory: Ww2. It has a lot of info on different battles and the starting and other things.

[@arctrooperecho2654]

War stories of D-Day is a good book, it's a huge collection of First hand accounts From the boys who went ashore that faithful day to the Rangers Who landed at point Hu doc, to the Paratroopers who dropped into German occupied France

[@tallleprechaun1318]

If you want other books by the same author Adam Makos, look for the books Devotion, Voices of the Pacific, and Spearhead.

Fun fact about my grandfather he served in the Vietnam War

Sturmling is so funny Sturmling just bring chaos 😂😂😂😂 Sturmling needs his own channel

[@pauld6967]

I concur.

Yes please

Don’t try to split up the TBLF!

[@pauld6967]

@@Hallands. You know that Stickboy already has his own channel right? Sometimes he even posts the battles from the same game session. So you get to see things from two different perspectives. :-)

@@pauld6967 No, I didn’t know, but would love to watch! I’ve often wished to see the battle from the other players’ pov. Thanks!

Rescue One with the epic return, nothing can stop rescue one.

[@khannaraha8817]

except Rescue One itself, then they have had to rely on Rescue Two and Rescue Three.

[@TheCoyote808]

HARA Tameichi's book Destroyer Captain is a great read if you want to learn what a Japanese Line Officer's view of the war was like. An absolutely fantastic read for what the Naval war in the Pacific was like. EDIT: Still waiting for the Midwestern Adventures of Stick and Jim.

[@callofdutykids8191]

With all do respect They just charged in to battles with katana’s and got mowed down

[@RenaultFT]

Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors is a great book telling the stories of the Battles of Surigao Strait and the Battle off Samar later on the same day. Being a naval enthusiast, this book is an amazing read, and I highly recommend picking it up

[@TheAlmostHarmless]

The Samuel B Roberts and the Johnston exude massive Chad energy

[@jonathancourts7707]

My Grandfather served on one of the escort carriers in the Battle off Samar and wrote about it briefly in his journal that I have.

[@ItsTheKerminator]

4:00 Can we take a moment to appreciate the sheer terror and anticipation that the KV-85 had to deal with while working through all one of his reverse gears?

Id love to see bo and the Gang do a hell let loose tank Crew or squad to see how chaotic it gets

[@SabatonFan-r6k]

will Post Scriptum do as a substitute? There are a couple of videos of them in tanks and throwing vehicles across the planet from that already.

[@mmx4gaming12]

@@khannaraha8817 I already saw those beides hell let loose is way funnier because knowing bo he call out guy or tank when there are either of those things there

[@datpieceofbread9570]

I'm always felt like the Slugger was one of the most under appreciated machines when I played. But seeing the B2 in the game finally is nice, even if I don't play the game anymore. Always nice to see you upload

[@WolfoftheAurora]

For books on World War II, I recommend the booklet called "Hoel and Kongo off Samar: At Rest, 4,000 Fathoms Under the Waves USS Hoel DD-533." It's an amazing account and history of the surviving sailors of the Hoel. It is difficult to find, though. I got a copy from Bob DeSpain before he passed. He was sailor on the USS Hoel when Taffy 3 went up against the Japanese Center Force on October 25, 1944.

[@josephburge168]

Another great book is called War Pilot by Richard Kirkland I think. Was a P38 pilot and flew on the wing of lindenburg when he developed the range extension that let them kill Yamato and then went on to fly helicopter in Korea is a damn good book.

[@tallleprechaun1318]

Love the chaos that Sturmling and Stick brought. When those two are together you gotta get down with the madness

[@RyRy_941]

This video was so much fun!! What a great cast of comedic chaos causing comrades you gathered for this video!! And a great demonstration of one of my favorite tank destroyers in the game! Epic job, everyone!

[@sabregunner1]

this one was a blast! So many TBLF members in this one Cheers to Hame, Sturms, Jim, Stick and Thor!

[@jordanhawks1035]

I have always had a love for the M36 in every tank game. Thanks for playing it today bo!

The way the all said "plane, plane, plane" is like the seagull in finding nemo "mine, mine, mine" 😂😂😂

[@Phoenix_Phelan]

Rescue one saves the day again! That was an amazing kill btw, that VK had the bratwurst scared out of him xD

[@neiljohnston1274]

This video popped up again after I watched the newest one, when panic sets in during most sessions I hear the seagulls from finding nemo, anyone else?

[@arctrooperecho2654]

Yes!!! Finally they play this beast!

[@warbo3611]

The Locust Rescue 1 adventures are my favorite Bo Times

[@lo4efks]

Hey Bo, love the videos, keep em rolling. I had a grandfather who served on D Day and was a pilot of a C 47 sky train (I think thats the name) for the 82nd airborne division. The plane was shot down and he sadly couldn't get out in time and died along with the plane. Thank you for making me laugh every in every video, keep up the good job

[@Quacker783]

Bo, never underestimate the pumas they are deadly bonsai creatures that can’t die fast enough. The only thing that stops them is a aphe shell to the turret ring.

[@Ehrathorn]

Was that a hambone!? Where has he been all this time. Come to think of it, where is Mike at? Or Bear?

I mean Bo is good, even excellent from time to time, it’s just a pity he’s so needy… Sturms kicked ass and made the enemy crumble in fear!

Hello Bo you make me happy when you upload so thank you

[@thetankcommander3838]

*Begin Transmission* Day 41. Keeping the theme of this storytelling, here is what I’ve got. 79 years ago tomorrow, began the grandest military invasion operation the world has ever seen. More than 5,000 ships, thousands of aircraft, hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles, and more then 250,000 men took part in storming the beaches of Normandy. Among them was an ancestor of mine. His name was Joseph Montgomery Holland. He was a Tank Commander in the 746th Tank Battalion, which landed at Utah Beach on D-Day. Unfortunately, like countless other comrades, Joseph did not make it far past the invasion. He was killed when his tank was knocked out on June 10th, 1944 (D-Day +4), most likely by a German PaK gun or by a Panzerfaust. There are numerous other ancestors on both sides of the battle who did not make it far after the invasion. And I hope we all can remember their losses today with compassion, condolence, and a hope for a better future. Remember. The past teaches us lessons in the present, so we don’t make the same mistakes in the future. What ancestral story do you have? *End Transmission*

[@Skylikesavation]

9:39 regular panthers are easy to kill in a M22 if they’re alone and the VK has less armor, this should be no surprise that the M22 killed it

[@MyWaifuNow]

I do have to wonder what that panzer IV was thinking. Maybe something along the lines of "I should push a notoriously the fast flanker tank in my casemate that's 1.3 BRs below it"

[@kaiserwilhelmll814]

[@chasenelson5586]

That 7 great great grandfather and uncles(5 airforce , 1army, 1 navy) serve during WWII. 4 of the 5 air force died as pilots and gunners in a b17s. The 5th was shotdown and was rescued by the french resistance. My gggf was in the army, saw action on june 6th and was placed state sisde when trench foot got him in battle of the bulge. The gggu in the navy was mia for like 6 months before the navy happened to find him on a random patrol was my understanding. There would have been an 8th be he was a year to young

[@crafter3355]

Flanking in a Jackson, honestly not what I expected to see today

[@pauld6967]

That bonb fuse was 7 seconds. I occasionally set 8 or 10 second delays to confuse the targets. So, I know where that pilot is coming from.

[@khannaraha8817]

Do you normally use that level of delay from ground level drops though?

[@pauld6967]

@@khannaraha8817 Yes. From treetop height, from 3,000 feet and even when I do a strategic bombing run at or above 20,000 feet. Of course, just for variety, I will also sometimes use the assault fuse setting and 1 or 2 second delays.

[@BeezyKing99]

I wonder, how does the TBLF clan drive their tanks? keyboard controls or combined controls? I play with keyboard for throttle control while I use a set of pedals for steering... totally gives you the ability to *slowly creep forward or backwards* without actual throttle input
