this guy gets kills with out a rudder, meanwhile an enemy farts in my general direction and i lose my engine and half my wing

[@igameidoresearchtoo6511]

yeah idk why war thunder has the 1 second burst kill system, I HATE IT

[@pranavarvind4281]

You should probably avoid french planes. I hear they have a tendency to fart in your general direction.

[@pranavarvind4281]

@Owen Vybiral Gray Stewart The MiG pilot probably bailed out.

[@josemabravob]

@Owen Vybiral Gray Stewart he was making a joke.

[@botimegaming]

I wanted to take a quick moment to recognize and thank Mr. Hambone for all his time and dedication to the channel over the summer. He helped put out some great content that would otherwise not be possible without him. Hambone is currently on his way back to college to start his second semester and here is to a great school year bud!

[@winks8202]

Thank you hambone

[@RAAFLightning1]

Ham you are a chad

[@6777Productions]

Thank you and good luck Ham. Stay safe in college!

May hambone have a great second semester in college

Let's be honest, if Germany had built more of these rather than UBoots, the Battle of the Atlantic would have gone a completely other way

[@justinwackerow1262]

Wheren't there 4 of those on the battleship bismark or is that a different plane im thinking of ?

[@FedorFox]

If planes would've been so good at destroying ships in the Atlantic then why didn't the Luftwaffe help the Kriegsmarine? Checkmate, buddy. (for legal reasons this was a joke, please don't woooosh me)

[@forcea1454]

Unfortunately for the Germans the British had their own secret counterpart to this: The Supermarine Walrus.

[@shockblaster1201]

I would disagree with that, considering they would not have the range nor bombload to reliably destroy Destroyers and Cruisers, let alone Battleships and Aircraft Carriers

[@sirboomsalot4902]

Justin wackerow Yeah, most German warships larger than destroyers and them

[@boi8825]

OS2U: Finally a worthy opponent

[@pranavarvind4281]

Except this hilariously outguns the OS2U. 2 20mms. Bad 20mms, but still.

“Giving Bo a Floatplane with 20mm guns is a bad idea.” Because if he manages to knock off the Floats, it’s a Zero with MENACING POWER

[@becoll9821]

For all of 20 secs, then he runs out of fuel

[@marystachowicz9712]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheCrowOfJudgement]

This happens for 20 seconds until he turns into a sluggish light bomber.

Mom: So what prizes did you get. Son: Nothing much, but i found this cool needle that makes me feel funny in the ball pit.

[@PizzaPowerXYZ]

Son: and the clowns my friends say arent real are really funny too!

[@NMJZ]

Only Bo and Co. would be capable of bringing out the qualities of a floatplane like this, energy and turnfighting and all! Excellent work!

[@Klaus99999]

19:22 nothing more satisfying than seeing a "no shame squad" getting spanked by a float plane :P

[@_aragornyesyes_7171]

whats a "no shame squad"?

[@bb-152ussmeta9]

@@_aragornyesyes_7171 Likely a full squad flying aircraft that are a bit too good at their tier. CW 21 for example, is a fast and incredibly fast turning aircraft with excellent firepower at its br, and relatively easy to fly and bully people in.

[@cannonfodder4376]

Always looked like a fun little floatplane to have in game and what a little performer it is. Packs quite the punch with its performance too. Good flying and shooting Bo and team.

[@tedrussell6213]

I was in a 109 in that last match. Joined late and just saw a furball at like 2,000ft. It was great playing with you four!!!

Heh. Bo trash-talking the kingfisher float plane and Ham joining in had my mind completing the wrong sentence. BO: "That's right you better wave off and go back home" HAM: "yea go back to your little rivers" ....and lakes that you're used to? >.>

[@lord_carvonite59]

its 4:30 in the morning when this was publiched, of course I'm gonna watch it now

[@beachside1]

Bo your the best dogfighter Ive ever seen...Seriously. Btw, when are you going to start virtual lessons because I am horrible. Thanks for the great video fellas and good morning..

Do you have point aiming on?

I love watching your video's, they are great fun and will happily sit through a whole morning of nothing but you and the gangs older stuff... keep it up, it is more appreciated than you thnk

[@timparker233]

Bo and team. You give us all reasons to love KZbin. In the strange and frightening time, you guys are always there. Thank you.

[@DDragon501]

Great video once again Bo! Awesome dogfights here! Thanks to Hambone for all the help so far! Hope to see ya again soon buddy!

[@thermite10k40]

bo you can use the same trick on ant float plane. even the float zero. now you've got a zero at 2.3 and it has fuel in the plane itself

[@monostripezebras]

Fun fact, Ar196s were actually used as fighters in some emergency situations and escorted planes in the Aegaeis

[@RAAFLightning1]

All the fuel is in the pontoons, go figure.

[@mo1stgaming610]

Hi bo time gaming I have Been watching you videos for a while now and there great as always so keep up the great and have fun

[@PB-tr5ze]

Ahhh... You are a classic Top Gear/Grand Tour fan... Another reason to enjoy this channel.

[@KoolKyurem25]

I have never seen someone perfectly land a float plane on the ground, shoot a truck, and get blown up by said truck exploding. Absolute gold.

[@texas2427]

Wow I got to play with the masters in warthunder yesterday and I didnt realize it. I just glanced at the kill chart in the bottom right in this video and I see my warthunder user shooting aaa with rockets. Bo Time Gaming, I'm a huge fan this video made my horrible day better thanks for the laughs and smiles.

Interesting fact about the kingfisher there are only like 7 or 8 left in the world and one of them is in my town

[@donwanna3906]

The convoy interdiction was epic.

[@MissKay1994]

Emergency pontoon ejection, but the caveat is that all the fuel is in the pontoons. It's a floatplane with cannons, and realy effective cannons at that

[@martinsonnleitner7911]

This thing is so awesome. 20mm which kills everything and you can outturn even the best fighters. I love the AR196!

[@roscoewhite3793]

Some trivia; the Arado Ar 196 played a major role in the capture of HM Submarine "Seal." No fewer than 37 Ar 196s were captured by the Soviets and used by their Border Guards until 1955. WRT Bo's story about the Kingfisher and the Zero, he's broadly correct. Said Kingfisher was directing bombardments over Iwo Jima when it was attacked by a Zero, but the USN pilot, one D. W. Gandy [no rank mentioned in my source] evaded the Zero, got onto its tail, and stayed with it, firing his .30 cal into the Zero until it caught fire and crashed. Now I'm waiting for Bo to restage that combat somehow...

[@michiyl]

A lot of fire in this one for a water plane :D

[@IlllllIIll]

Yes

[@mikemcghin5394]

[@TyrannoJoris_Rex]

3:10 Lol that’s why I load full fuel whenever I take out a floatplane

[@strangewolf1261]

Fun fact: If there are any Biggles fans here, a Variant of this plane was featured in the book Flight of the Wallenstein!

[@djohn4904]

US bomber B-17 or B-25 anti-air crews killed more german fighters than any other single fighter.. at least thats what I remembe from old military journals.

[@thewarinthunder379]

Hey Bo gotta question, how do you get very high in altitude without stalling out or do you just use time to get very high then dive down?

[@nigelsmith7366]

Love your vids Bo Best War thunder content out there No saltiness just fun and banter

[@sirboomsalot4902]

Did the 196 ever score an air to air kill irl? With its armament and handling, I would think someone would have used them for escort8ng their mother ships or something

[@xxkrischxx]

I just read that a Beaufighter was shot down by one of these

[@Novous]

When your plane needs to wear clogs to work.

[@zachboyd4749]
