[@Thesovietunion491]

[@liladoodle]

[@joshuagraham5192]

Video 3 asking for the Italian Otomatic

[@andrewdarragh1554]

Bo's response to Tiger II: "Here kitty kitty." Bo's response to a mouse droid with rockets: "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"

[@khannaraha8817]

Just like the Locuts and ASU it's sometimes the smallest things that can hurt you the most.

[@hammer1349]

I mean the rockets can pretty much negate a good chunk of his armour and is mounted to a much smaller and highly mobile chassis

[@RamielNagisa]

A reasonable response

[@Cowboys3DPrints]

That scream from stick when he rolled up on a Sturmtiger was hysterical. love the content bo keep it up.

[@stormworksgamer922]

Yeah I laughed my butt off at that

[@Skylikesavation]

Fate finding the Tiger II for a second time was even better in my opinion

[@jameskirkland3187]

You could say it was fate.

[@StaffordMagnus]

Poor guy got blown into next week 🤣🤣🤣

[@Cowboys3DPrints]

@@Skylikesavation the entire video was hysterical, but i agree with you Fate finding the tiger again was definately one of if not the highlight of the video.

[@Add12pack]

Bo is the ultimate bro.

[@bogdananghel2498]

Bo: "Fate there is a ta-" Fate: *mind=blown*

[@dekkionkow]

I wish I had a crew like you guys. you guys are funny as Hell.

[@nekophht]

Nice gameplay. Also, I ended up using this video to test my newly delivered headset instead of just unplugging the relevant cable. It sounded _nice._

[@Majorite]

Noice

[@m.lucifer6722]

Great video today Bo! Loved how you were talking about possibly getting bombed in the end and not noticing Stick died to one. XD

[@RyRy_941]

Great video! I don't know who's scream was better Stickboy's or Fate's. Looks like good times were had in the French heavy boy. Thanks for the hard work, guys!!

[@Hallands.]

SOMUA SM _Pros:_ Great 100 mm gun Equipped with a huge 9-shell autoloader, making this one of the best tanks to attack multiple enemies at once Unlike most French tanks, the SOMUA has good frontal armour; the upper turret and upper plate are basically immune to all conventional rounds Due to the frontal armour and nine shot autoloader, the tank is not only great at flanking and ambushing, but also very good at brawling The strong upper turret coupled with the eight degrees of gun depression makes this tank great at hull-down fighting and cresting ridgelines Due to how tall this tank is and how high the gun is placed, it can shoot over obstacles that many tanks have trouble seeing over Quick and manoeuvrable for a heavy tank This tank has a high level of survivability thanks to the spacious crew compartment and a five-man crew Good set of optics with 6x magnification The APCBC round has a tendency to cause lots of spalling upon penetration _Cons:_ Absolutely huge tank. Longer, wider, and taller than a Tiger II. Finding proper concealment is difficult The neck of the turret a prime weak spot that's hard to effectively hide The lower plate is as weak as British lower plates. Any APHE shell that enters here will likely knock out the whole crew Will face a lot of enemies that fire APDS and HEAT, the upper turret and upper plate just can't absorb those kinds of shells Terrible side armour, side-scraping or angling the tank is extremely hazardous Is much slower than the Lorraine and AMX-50 Mediocre elevation angles thanks to the inherent nature of oscillating turrets Once the autoloader is expended, reloading the magazine takes a considerable amount of time Because of the 4.0s reload, you can quite easily empty the 9 round magazine _History_ At the end of WW2, the French army realized that they needed a new modern heavy tank. The SOMUA Company competed with AMX to design a new heavy tank for France, and they were given the order to build a prototype in 1946. The hull of the tank was based off the German Tiger II, and the tank used an oscillating turret armed with an auto-loading 100 mm gun. Because the two companies were forced to make a new design with the same requirements, the Somua SM design looked similar to the AMX 50, and both tanks had equipped the 100 mm gun. The prototype was delivered in October of 1951 but was still lacking an engine and some other parts. Due to delays, the prototype was not tested until 1953, but it was already too late! *_The SOMUA's design was rejected in favour of the AMX 50._*

[@Cowboys3DPrints]

Thanks for the in depth analasis and history. Didnt know any of these facts prior to reading your comment, though i do have to ask. How many drive gears does it have and how many are in reverse?😂

[@Hallands.]

@@Cowboys3DPrints 4F, 1B : 46 km/h, 6 km/h It was merely excerpts from WarThunder Wiki, not my analysis…

[@Nightmare_52]

the somua and the new amx are my favourite french tanks, just so fun with the autoloaders

[@Skylikesavation]

Love Bo deciding to hide in a bomb crater than another bomb immediately lands in it

[@Cowboys3DPrints]

That was funny as hell

[@two-eyedRoy]

@3:39 "Oh Tiger II..." My brain: 🎵Tiger, Tiger II. Lookin' for you. Tiger, Tiger II where are ya? 🎶

[@vralingfrostmere1561]

glad to see more Somua SM love, i just got it a month ago and i love it

[@longtreader8987]

5:49 no, I made two whole videos calling you accident prone and hilarious!😆😆😆 but also really entertaining. Keep up the good work!

[@zachberger5175]

Watching you guys always makes me happy when I’m feeling depressed.

[@dabiga2315]

You can tell Stick's been asked what his defining song is before

[@Blaze_Azizora]

I think the Bo Senses tingling means a friend is going to go around a corner and explode. It seems to happen a lot.😂

[@kylestrode3925]

I hope one day I'll be as good as you guys in war thunder and absolutely love your videos please never stop making them

[@c4blew]

Bo: I´m gonna get bombed in about two and a half seconds two and a half seconds later Bo: How did Stick die? Stickboy: Bomb! 😆

[@Cowboys3DPrints]

That was a golden mement for sure.

[@colblood4426]

That's a nice looking camo on the Somua SM. great video

[@nicksmith1313]

Bo missed his opening with Stickboy to riff the most appropriate Pitbull song. The next time Stick dies: "it's goin' down, I'm yellin' Timber!"

[@Breadsticks000]

Fates famous words “hey look theres my dead body” and “hey don’t use my body for cover, that’s rude”

[@sabregunner1]

In Bo We Trust Lots of really good, nasty kills with this thing Fate be propping up the teams spirits Stickboy with the multi kill, damn son. Also, his song IS achey breaky heart. Not exactly sure you got rick rolled there

[@Wunicorn]

amazing video, loved at the end with bo asking how stick died and stick just says defeated "bomb"

[@Bigrednumber77]

Hey Bo, been a huge fan for a long while. Have you ever considered trying out a podcast format where you actually talk about in-game stuff on top of just being silly with friends?

[@khannaraha8817]

They used to do podcasts about planes and some early non-WT things (like E3 and Early access games) but i think they took a lot of work to get the background videos sorted out.

[@botimegaming]

We used to do a podcast series and it just didn't take off. After two years of trying to produce and losing quite a bit of money doing it, I decided to put my efforts into uploading more consistently.

[@LudensP]

The banter is great is in this episode.

[@santoast24]

Can we get some Low Tier Italy crazyness? Namely the P40 and the AB 43, the dynamic duo of pasta flinging madness

[@xsonohx7961]

5:51 got me thinking of the warframe "Growth, profit, grofit!"

[@dem0nchild610]

I really like that camo for the sm

[@khannaraha8817]

Got to be an interesting event when you can drop a bomb, get shot down (i assume) and still get in a land vehicle in time to see that bomb actually land.

[@aydenhorton7450]

That autoloader causes so much hate cause there's nothing to do against it if it pens with the first shot XD Another great video Bo!

[@Queen_Bee_82]

Good morning! Great video. Hope you all have a great weekend!! 💜

[@gaiofattos2]

Great vid bo!

[@Skylikesavation]

18:23 so anyone going to talk about what Stick said here or are we just going to not question it?

[@Architraz_PHX]

11:35 most opportune bomb placement and timing of 2023.

[@Cowboys3DPrints]

Absolutely.

[@masondamoose7520]

“Wow your Bo senses suck” a bit harsh considering he tried to warn you. You just didn’t listen

[@MrAcuta73]

As you were looking for the Tiger II, for some insane reason I got the Scooby Doo song stuck in my head, only Tiger II instead. Tiger, Tiger II, where are you? We got some work to do now... I blame you.

[@williamcramer7391]

11:33 Caddy Shack "It's in da HOLE!"

[@dialogue62]

"What changes or vehicles are you hopeful for in the new patch?" I still want to see the B36 Peacemaker. Six turnin and four burnin - and with all the remote turrets working. Yeah, I know it's something that never happened in real life but I wanna see it so bad.

[@Cowboys3DPrints]

You and me both brother.

two turning, two burning, two smoking, two choking and two more unaccounted for*

[@isaacsquire6182]

The Rick roll had me dying. Well done boys

[@gazdev4016]

Double Rick roll

[@Cowboys3DPrints]

Yeah stick sure sent one in from left field.

[@Ultimateshoerater567]

Love your videos ❤

[@stalkingtiger777]

The Rickroll always strikes when you're not expecting it! Just like the Spanish Inquisition.

[@willsimpson6829]

Trust Bo, believe in Bo can't go wrong with that

[@vOrxngee]

I would love to see more air rb matches

[@botimegaming]

I am attempting to. Sorry for the wait.

[@swgard1]

Bo would make a great kaizen consultant with all those big words 👍

[@verumlegatum1014]

The autoloader in the Somua is so scary

[@frikkiedelange7785]

I wish Sturmling was in this video. Would have loved to see how he would have reacted to "Obus de rupture"

[@its_speedyboi]

It's french for "rupture shell" or "armor piercing shell," but it does sound funny.

[@MageOtter27]

​@@its_speedyboi even as a native french speaker, i do find it funny because it just not a "conventional" shell name like 3bm42 or dm23

[@verumlegatum1014]

That rocket is almost the size of the bmp

[@adrigues9806]

Yahoo new video!

[@darkmoone9984]

Bo said “I am going to be bombed” at the end there and Stick gets bombed. What are friends for. lol

[@cannonfodder4376]

5:02 "Ah HA there he is!!!!" 😂😂

[@averygrey2793]

i always get the vibe that stick just needs a long hug

[@kriskay5020]

1 minute in and my sides hurt from laughing at stick, it's going to be a good video

[@jamesneumann2003]

In Bo We Trust

[@DDragon501]

Interesting French design. One of many that never saw production.

[@TomPrickVixen]

7.3 is kind of a cursed BR: U still in the reach of the 8.3 hard hitters (CAS + helis included), and u end up on 7.7 if not, anyway.

[@verumlegatum1014]

6.3 Germany is similar. At least there isn't much US AAA to deal with

[@verumlegatum1014]

Thats for the 20min of fun!

fact that bo ignored stick saying: bo do you think I count ad a bike

Great video! Stick needs to listen better so he doesn't get into trouble as much. 😂😂

[@monkeytypewriter5405]

Hi, Bo! Please do a Gaijin economic system test. (Day 5. May 21, 2023) Let's see what the WT economy system brings. It might cost time but it will worth it. Please show how you stand with the player base, who should be respected by Gaijin. Please start a new account with maximum paying $70 (a normal 3A game) to buy the premium account or premium vehicles (including Gaijin store and market premium vehicles). Or it's even better without any premium. This means no Lv-150 ace crew for tanks, no Lv-75 ace crew for planes, no unlimited silver lion in the beginning gameplay. The aim is to grind to a fully functional non-premium line-up at 5.7~6.3 for ground RB in any one tech tree. Any one country tech tree is fine. Without additional payment with GE, we will have maximum 5 crew groups. For example, the German 5.7 line-up includes Tiger H (heavy tank), Panther D (medium or light tank), Ostwind II (anti-air), Bf 109 G-14 (fighter), and Ju188 A-2 (CAS). Or USSR 6.3 line-up of IS-2(1944), 2S3M (2 major battle vehicles), M53/59, La-9, Tu-2S-44. Some premium vehicles bought in $70 budget can replace the role of some vehicles of the line-up, like Ju188 A-2 CAS role can be replaced by Do 335 B-2. Full modifications are needed for all vehicles in the lineup, meaning grinding modifications from the very start. In my experience, the modification grinding is still acceptable at tier IV. But from tier V it is getting painful, especially for top tier vehicles including all ground, air and naval vehicles. Then finally we can see the total cost of time needed and fun gained for the grinding, and compare it to a normal 3A game. We can even start testing how long is needed for RP and SL for a single vehicle in tier IV, V or VI on average. Usually a tier VI vehicle needs 3~4 times RP as a tier IV vehicle.

*Begin Transmission* Day 33. Whenever the Somua SM comes out, I hear two opinions. The first is that it is just a chonky AMX 50 100 (World of Tanks players). The other is that it’s a Sumo Wrestler. Regardless, there are ups and downs with autoloaders. But it’s different with the T26E4 Super Pershing. It has a dedicated, SKILLED loader to load those chonky rounds. No matter. Bo, you know what needs to be played. Get the job done. *End Transmission*

KZbin didn't publish it so the thumbnail/title was changed to try and get the video to show up in folk's sub-box. This is a trick that a lot of KZbinrs have had to sadly resort to.

can you do another video about the l33?
