War Thunder - 40mm Beaufighter "Not Bad, Not Good!"

[@botimegaming]

Thought it would be fun to change up the format to showcase this event vehicle. Let me know what you think of the 40mm Beaufighter.

[@mav5943]

first reply

[@brodmeisterman]

Love the history lesson and nice 40mm teabag launchers! Are they good at penetrating a lot of armor?

[@singleb-17inthearea37]

its good

[@gromblegregurkle7235]

nice format. i think you should keep this up. informative on if we should try and get it

[@Nate_Morrison223]

Hey Bo, could you do a sidechat podcast on this plane or others? I’ve been missing the sidechat podcast

[@shannonmcfarland9116]

Bo: " I can't believe this thing is half decent" *He says after getting 3 kills in it no problem whereas most of us get shot down 2-3 mins in without a single kill Keep up the great videos Bo

[@beachside1]

Never a true er comment then that. I need to enroll myself in the Bo's War Thunder Air dogfight school. I swear Ill pay in advance for that class

[@MaLiBaRu]

@@beachside1 He plays with his squad. It changes your perfomance so much when you have friends to watch your back while you do your work. Apart from that yeah, when I play any strike aircraft if I dont survive first 5 munites, a 'rabid' fighter usually comes after me like there is no tomorrow :)

[@Ten_NE_Ten]

Keep in mind that this is cut gameplay. Matches with no content dont make for a good video.

[@kampar82]

We are the players who keep the game fun for the good players. Or at least I am. I really do suck.

[@cyanide7270]

Its more a matter of these arent consecutive games. I can guarantee that these are the 1 good game in 5 bad games. Chances are they also get screwed straight away, and generally have the "shit team mates" like the rest of us do, most games. That being said, i played 17 games last night and lost all of them even though i was getting upwards of 8 kills per game and minimum 2 caps. Some teams, you just cannot help and are determined to throw.

[@evankurdziel6548]

As someone who started playing war thunder based on my interest in military aviation, I love the informational intro. It’s something that not enough content creators do and is really interesting.

[@kingfloridaman5274]

agreed

[@cptmidnight6117]

Definitely

[@hazie6507]

agreed

[@loganb7059]

Bo used to do side chat podcasts dedicated to the history side of things. But from what I understand those were just taking too much time. :(

[@crafter3355]

I like seeing bo playing ground and air battles when showcasing an aircraft, Its a good idea and would love to see more aircraft videos like this

[@reubenpicksley9638]

You kinds have to when you're showcasing a plane with 2 40mm cannons.

[@Verø.6]

A beaufighter is mostly used for anti Tank missions

[@HOOSIER42]

Yes. Just, just YES.

[@derrickstorm6976]

"Bo has made himself surrounded by the enemy" most Bo sentence ever 😂😂

[@d3ath8ybac0n4]

Love when Chris shows up with his British wit. One of my favorite guest stars.

[@type_x_atm_092]

24:21 Legit about lost it when I heard this. Smooth 'lil wordplay there, Mr. Bo.

[@Sniper-qh2wh]

I like this format. I always love learning more about fighter planes that idk much about. I also like how there was some ground RB in this as well

[@Whiskeyactual9531]

Honestly I think a lot of people (including myself) would very much appreciate the timbit of history at the beginning of each video regarding the vehicle your using. That being said it may be detrimental to increasing grows in the channel because the intro has to slap you in the face like a 40mm, so you may need to shift it to the end of the video if you want to keep doing this

[@DDragon501]

This “mixed” gameplay was really interesting. Definitely would like to see more of this kind of video.

[@GaldirEonai]

This should also be very nice to fly in cockpit view. The Beaufighter, being based on a torpedo bomber and _recon_ design (the original Bristol Beaufort, which was replaced in all roles by the Beaufighter very quickly after its introduction), had excellent forward visibility compared to most other heavy fighters.

[@Hockernant]

Bo I loved that history lesson/information segment at the start of the video. It was really nice to get a little more understanding about the aircraft. Please could you do this more often, it’s a really good addition

[@Hlavi2001]

I like the new format so far! I would like to see more introductions of vehicles in the future.

[@thunderthighs7665]

“No need to panic civilians” proceeds to hit trees in the town.

[@Hockernant]

12:50 that was incredibly impressive. The collisions on the mountain was dodgy enough to let you rail slide or whatever the youths call it

[@aeonroseus9802]

Really enjoyed the format on this video, the historical tidbit was lovely

[@michaelfeenin551]

I've kinda missed your vids like this where you kind of do a little review of the vehicle/talk about your personal opinion on the vehicle in general, so its nice to see one in this format again, keep up the good work as usual!

[@RandomPerson-oq6zd]

When you hit the cliff at 12:31, I died laughing

[@Al_Ares]

The Beaufighter was also one of my first favourite aircraft, after the German Heinkel He 111 bomber for its massive number of bombs, the fighter was the first aircraft to have rockets so i had a blast blasting the ground forces. Unfortunately I can't play anymore, been a few months after the game was too large for the computer. Watching your videos gives me the hope that one day and beyond, I will fly the Beaufighter again in the skies of War Thunder peppering the pizza out of my enemies.

[@turtleman_destro504]

dunno what you can afford but I know back before the virus I was able to get 4 TB WD Blue HDD for like 60$, not sure its still that cheap with this whole chips shortage but might be worth looking into

[@michaelgow7461]

I liked this video format, CAS in tank RB has always been my favorite thing to do in War Thunder

[@Whiskeyactual9531]

Actually had to rewatch the video, because I got distracted by what I think was a squadron martlets flying over my house for some reason. Probably the coolest thing I've seen all year

[@RandomPerson-oq6zd]

The intro reminded me of the old podcasts. That being said, is like for you to start doing the podcasts again

[@charliechapman9217]

Yeah, please start doing the podcasts again!

[@derrickstorm6976]

I dunno, think they've run out of topics 🤔

[@tallleprechaun1318]

The problem was that the side chat podcasts weren’t bringing in near enough money for the work required to make them so he stopped, he talked about their ending in some streams a while back

[@RandomPerson-oq6zd]

@@tallleprechaun1318 that’s too bad, I always liked listening to whatever topic they picked. Hearing Coby and Bo argue was always great

[@ussnewjersey1756]

8:01 the "new boy" has a very good voice

[@trott4t856]

8:35 THIS LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING FROM THE WARTHUNDER TRAILER

[@NMJZ]

9:30 Since when did you start giving people head pats Bo? I want one!

[@thomaskositzki9424]

That was a bloody hilarious video! ^^ I also really like the blah-intro, very informative!

[@Hockernant]

It’s soo nice seeing Chris back

[@CalgarGTX]

I'm old enough to member the 20-30 kills with beaufighter lineups, good times

[@Thunderous117]

Still go back once in a while and watch jingles “brokenfighter” videos to reminisce when it was an absolute monster, his laughs can cure cancer as he tackles plane after plane

[@ardrek_]

Great blend of ARB and GRB - and as ever, amazing team work and banter!!

[@applebanana8578]

Amazing video Bo! That Bo-fighter can really pack a punch!

[@carlwheezerofsouls3273]

19:29 i must have replayed that shot a hundred times over, so satisfying!

[@dougjb7848]

I don’t play the game but believe your information will greatly help players evaluate the various weapons fitment and whether to purchase the Beefeater.

[@jordanhawks1035]

I love the intro to the video and the quick tip about having the cannons fire one at a time.

[@zxbzxbzxb1]

Just come from watching the MArlet IV video with Chris in to to find another one just posted Yay! This aircraft is a beast :D

[@lightspeedvictory]

Bo: I can sit here and talk for over 45 minutes talking about the beaufighter Me: challenge accepted *sets a timer ready? GO! 🤪

[@m.lucifer6722]

Great video Bo, loved it all before heading to bed now at 3:30am. xD

[@KamiRecca]

Everybody Break Now! *Dan Dan Dub Dan Dan Dan* Everybody Break Now!

[@MissKay1994]

This is a really neat plane. I don't think that it's worth the money or work to get, but it's cool none the less. I enjoyed the bit of information on this particular plane you gave

[@TheSniperMatt1221]

Nice video. The format of ground and air battles was nice. Keep up the great work.

[@skittlesjones4119]

Love the video had me cackling a lot throughout the whole thing keep up the good work Bo

[@aidanwitbeck4496]

I love stickboys reference at 10:02. The devil went down to Georgia

[@LotusofSin]

Seems Bo and i had the same start to this game. Beaufighters were my go to in arcade battles back in the day and holy hell were they flying war machines.

[@n1thecaptain965]

I love this new format

[@thundercho]

14:10 Now Bo is living in a Beaufighter down by the river!!

[@glenr7393]

Chris is totally correct about biscuit categories!

[@antoniobeltranthesumosnipe8634]

12:30 "Some day the mountain will get him but the law never will."

[@zZWolfyZz]

I now know I prefer this type of God with a mix of ground and air rb this is probably one of the best vids y'all have made thank you for making this yall

[@midnightbliss6456]

bo just casually bonking a dive bomber. then proceeds to drive down a local road.... seems reasonable

[@fazsum41]

That MK X is immense even now but Gaijin recently moved it down to rank 2 so it now can’t do events and challenges except the first daily challenge.

[@Lolsocialism]

I sort of liked the background you offered explaining and detailing the showcased vehicle. It could be fun to have the friend group alternate in voice-over for that part.

[@nekophht]

That attempt to fly a tailless Beaufighter back to base was fantastic.

[@zeacrossstormblade6819]

After play 11.0 all day, watching this is a breath of fresh air

[@Phoenix_Phelan]

Such a weird version of this plane lol. Cool to learn a little about it. Great vid guys!

[@joshbuck1234]

thank you for the INFO good sir i truly enjoy your videos please keep up the good work!!!!

[@charliedaood444]

I love this as a sort of alternative to the side-chat podcast. I know that the podcast had issues and this was awesome

[@louisboutcher1853]

As an Englishman, I can confirm Chocolate Digestives are very nice biscuits. Jolly good video btw chaps!

[@kolos0139]

Oh gosh, this made me remeber the sidechat podcasts, they were super interesting! Also, I like the new format!

[@TrickiVicBB71]

Great intro and that Trench Run reminded me of Jingles early War Thunder videos

[@mrbunny6203]

I like that you put some air rb and ground rb together in the same vid

[@Ultimatewarthunder]

Finally bo this aircraft is amazing

[@Queen_Bee_82]

Thanks for making my day better with this video! Glad i got to watch it before work! 💜

[@MarshallRedmon01]

An Air Battle video with Ground Battle.. I've never knew such a thing existed

[@jamesmccann531]

I liked the more informative aspect of this video, very useful

[@joebusse8586]

It’s cool seeing ground and air battles in the same video

[@YDDERP]

Bo if you ever get in a situation without a tail cut your speed to the around the speed in which your nose goes up and stay at that speed and it helps with the ups and downs.

[@charlesemerson6763]

Nice bit of flying up till the end.

[@XxPolpotQc]

great video as always ♥

[@ew7626]

He didn't sell his soul to the devil he sold his soul to the snail.

[@ThrownScarf]

Ah bo bringing back memories of the brokenfighter days. I think the only way to reliably kill them back in the day was to get a lucky head on pilot snipe

[@mrhacker9109]

"oo i didnt have my left, we shouldve swapped" best part of the video

[@capfig4471]

i quite like this vehicle the hurricanes 40mm's i find harder to aim than this, this plane just seems more stable to me. i also find that firing both at the same time, sometimes give you a second chance on whether you hit a moving or long range target. if 1 misses the other might not. overall. i find this aircraft is decent for those people who want a simple and decently effective CAS and attacker aircraft 9/10

[@CupCakeClan420]

“Crackers are what you have with cheese.” That is the single most British thing I’ve ever heard

[@noobdylan2006]

I just recently rewatched Independence Day, that was an accurate description

[@mathewmacduff7569]

Not sure if you noticed Bo but the engine fires on the new beaufighter are actually brighter than every other aircraft fire in the game

[@albinskold8792]

this video is just bo trying not to die from crashing

[@datpieceofbread9570]

9:45 that, Sir Chris, is the power of american engineering

[@Breadboi-xp4tn]

A brilliant video as always

[@joeharris2198]

Back in the days of the level system the beaufighters were my dream aircraft

[@Master.chylla]

Great showcase amd great vid 😁

[@vgzwymux8569]

6:02 I thought cocoons were for moths and butterflies had chrysalis. However, it looks like chrysalis might just be the name for that stage of life and the cocoon might be the thing that surrounds it? Different sites are saying different things. I need a zoo book now...

[@justat1149]

It’s an interesting addition, I’ll give it that. Dunno if I’ll ever use it, but neat to see regardless

[@fareazy3239]

When the plane got higher and started to dive. the enemy will not be able to escape with his brush

Lol Bo loves the "Bofighter". That's what I call content

[@iammelon8839]

this thing is a MONSTER and you can’t change my mind

War thunder: the only game where a battleship can shoot a tank while reversing

[@Motorstorm20]

(4:34) Man, I miss this map so much.... I wish Gaijin would bring this map back, it had quite a few flaws but it is so much better than something like Seversk-13....

[@bigboibeau2900]

My favorite thing about this plane is it has the same name as me "Beau" its pretty dang cool

[@garethstanden3732]

I just tried this in Tank RB once. Got 2 tank kills, a crit and a plane kill. Fun to play. FYI I map my 1 key to toggle through all gun types incl ALL, and 2 key to toggle each bomb or rocket type. I use left mouse for guns and space bar for rockets/bombs. I could never get used to using different buttons to fire different guns.

[@americanhat3766]

To be honest, that intro part scared me because when a youtuber does that, someone is either sick or has had something bad happen to them, and yall are too funny to allow that to happen yet.

[@allisonstilley9536]

26:00 I believe they call that falling with style.

[@griffon2-6]

pretty sure with power management he could fly it just fine, but bo kept it at WEP all the time hence roller coaster oscillating w/ gear shenanigans

[@sabregunner1]

Beaufighter, dont you mean the Bo- Fighter? man this 40mm can do work "I did a Chris!", Chris " how dare you". i just about fell out my chair Yes Chris means the british definition of biscuit aka digestives Bob and weave Bo, bob and weave Always a treat when Chris is in a vid also shout out to Stick and Retro
