That was for sure one of my biggest fails in WT for me in a while in not realizing who was on whose team. Now that I am thoroughly embarrassed, I would like you to share your biggest fail or silly mistake you have made in a video game. I will be reading these!

[@Chavylifts]

My biggest mistake was starting playing this game

[@bobbis6109]

Not me personally, but a friend of mine warned his team that he was in a pe8 and was going to bomb a cap point. Only for his team to not only kill the entire enemy team on said cap point, but also drive onto the point to cap and thus giving him 3 team kills and an insta kick from the game.

[@Dewey_the_25U]

Was in Sim Battles, saw a M24, thought it was one of ours... It was a lie, it was ITALIAN! I couldn't see the mustache behind the bushes.

[@arttulehtinen5527]

[@JimNulTis]

The US B-18 bomber has a very weird drop delay. Either it drops immediately, or there's a 1-2 seconds delay. I dropped my 2000lbs bomb on an enemy who died shortly after, but my drop got delayed. So instead of hitting a dead enemy with that 2000lbs bomb, I hit a friendly tetrarch....

[@therealjoshuacaleb4873]

(As Bo charges a sherman tank) "FIX BAYONETTES!" (proceeds to do zero damage to Sherman) LOL I love you guys!

01:30 The "Itty-Bitty Kitty Committee" had me laughing out loud inappropriately in the office. Question remains though: is it a committee of itty-bitty kitties, or an itty-bitty committee of kitties? Both?

[@cptmidnight6117]

I do believe both titles are appropriate. 😁

[@owowhiplash]

All three.

[@markmingard6882]

One of the many things I love about this channel is the ever lasting positivity and clear enjoyment that Bo and the crew have. Whilst there are clear issues with the game that need to be fixed this channel is a breath of fresh air with no really negativity or discussion of in game issues. Many thanks Bo for all the wonderful content, your channel is one of few I will never got bored of.

[@AnonOmis1000]

Maybe it's just because I don't play the game myself, but I rarely see game issues in Bo's videos.

[@ardrek_]

You nailed why I love Bo and the crew - they got me into WT and I try to play with the same carefree spirit

Poor T-50. First he's getting shot by friendlies and then no one's helping him when he's upside down

[@botimegaming]

I went back and watched the footage that got cut out. Jim was there for a long while I believe he was trying to help him while stick and I were trying to kill enemies. Yea it sucks nobody saved him...

Whatever you drive, you make look at least decent, if not great. I hate having to put that initial qualifier, but there are some terrible vehicles that you make look not so terrible. Keep up the good work, and tell Jim that too. We could use him sticking around more.

[@Phoenix_Phelan]

Itty bitty kitty committee had me rolling xD

[@BrightMango]

Hey Bo, I was in your game again. I had a fun time with stick on the B point. I was the valentine 1 playing hide and seek type of thing anyway :)

[@airplanemaniacgaming7877]

Val 1 is a very good tank when you play it right. Thick armour, not bad gun, smallish profile, always fun.

F for respect to the teammate that got bullied by one big french boi and got left behind. 04:00 I also like how instead of RTB-ing after dropping his bomb load, Bo is literally like "Hey guys look! Air show!!" While scouting enemy positions

The Puma Sd.Kfz.234/2 brandished a long-barrel, high-velocity, 50mm cannon, the same one arming the Pzkpfw III. The Puma also possessed a coaxial, 7.92mm MG42 to the right of the 50mm cannon. The 50mm (5cm) high velocity cannon allowed the Puma to take on just about any Western Allies tank, except for the 1945 American M26 Pershing and the British Challenger tanks. The Puma's frontal glacis armor was only 1.25 inches thick. It was academic because by 1943 German 50mm and 75mm high velocity cannon weapons and the 75mm cannon of the American M3 and M4 medium tanks and the 3-inch (76.2mm) cannon of the M10 tank destroyer could all destroy the other's armored vehicles. No one was safe. The introduction in 1943 of the heavy Tiger I and the Panther tanks with their 3 inch plus glacis armor plates changed the equation. The frontal armor of the Tiger I and Panther could stop the armor piercing rounds of contemporary American and British tanks until the M26 Pershing and British Challenger. Similarly the Puma 50mm cannon was reputedly ineffective against the 3 inch armor front glacis of the T-34/76 and T-34/85. Nonetheless, ALL tanks were vulnerable from the sides and rear due to much thinner armor. If the Puma could get a side shot or rear shot against Pershing, Challenger, and Soviet tanks, it could still stop them. The Germans never intended the Puma to be a battle tank nor a tank destroyer. It's 50mm long barrel, high velocity cannon was meant to give the Sd.Kfz.234/2 a fighting chance for survival if encountering Allied and Soviet tanks. The Puma's thin armor all around meant it would not survive a single hit from any Allied or Soviet tank. Even the 37mm cannon of any older Allied tank or armored car would penetrate the Puma's armor. Still, the PUMA was an exciting armored fighting vehicle of World War Two and it is easy to understand why these players chose the Sd.Kfz.234/2 Puma as their game armored fighting vehicle. They apparently understood the strengths and weaknesses of their Pumas and never tried to misuse them as battle tanks.

I had that same experience once in Mech Warrior Online, there was a powered down mech and the match had gone completely south, enemies all around me and I was just hosing any mech that I saw cause the hourglass on both the match and my life in it were quickly running and I hosed this powered down mech which turned out to be a friendly when he powered back up and I was absolutely mortified that I was fragging a friendly and then I died and he died and I kinda lost the will to play MWO after that... Now I just play B-Tech/R-Tech where I know I can't shoot up friendlies with friendly fire set to enemies only! ;P

[@n5ifi]

One of the worst things that Gaijin does in my opinion (and It must be bots placed in games without enough real players) that I run into is 3 or 4 tanks show up at one time and the first tank always knocks my gun out. It happens that way every time. It's happened enough times that it couldn't possible be real so I'm saying its a bot setup for sure. It would be so much more fun if gaijin actually let us fight it out but it almost never happens that way. The first tank invariable kills my gun and then everyone piles on. This has happened hundreds of times of the time I've been playing the game. It's happened enough that it couldn't be real. The odds are against it. This is one of the really bad things they do. Paying or premium players may not see it as much as I do though. I consider myself to be cannon fodder anyway but I hate cheaters and I wont play a cheat game. I don't like the booster system at all and don't use it. Hell, just let people fight and win or lose on the merits of their skill and the tanks capability. People would wind up playing the same tanks most likely. Another thing I don't like about the game is that it doesn't take reliability into question at all. The T34's and other Russian tanks although well designed in many respects were known to be fairly unreliable but that never comes into consideration while the Sherman was known to be very reliable. This is a metric that is never captured at all. Another reason I think its bots doing the above is that I can stop playing the game (just sit at the spawn) from that point I was attacked by multiple tanks that always disable my gun and I still finish like 7th place in the game. No way that would be possible because I didn't do shit to finish that high.
