What aircraft would you like to see featured on the channel in the future?

Ah, yes, "Extreme Overload 1G." Truly the B-17 Experience.

Ah. The B-17 Flying Fortress. Famous for being able to absorb huge amounts of damage and still make it home. Meanwhile in War Thunder, it takes a single 20mm round to bring it down... or a sustained left turn.

Gaijin really needs to rework the damage models on bombers. 1G Turn? Lose a wing. 20mm round? Detonate entire fuselage. Machine gun rounds from a deflecting angle? Fuel fire and two engines dead. Recovered from a fire? Well that is great, lose your entire rudder.

Ah the "loses entire wing from 5 20mm shots" bomber

B-17s are fun to fly, until you get looked at anyways! And remember, you won't get out, not when it dives at 300 knots.

Me: Mom I want to watch masters of the air Mom: We have masters of the air at home. Masters of the air at home:

playing bomber seems like a lot of fun. I really like flying in a straigt line for minutes untill I finally get shot down without doing anything.

Bo, my late father would have loved seeing your B-17G in this video. My dad was a flight engineer/top turret gunner in the same unit as Man O War II. Dad was in the 322nd, 91st BG in 1944/45 and flew missions alongside Man O War. Dad normally was assigned to The Bride of Mars and Wee Willie, both of which were shot down after Dad completed his tour of duty. Though Dad probably would have face palmed at TBLF’s idea of formation flying, I am sure he would have been thrilled to see you keeping the memory of his WW2 unit alive. Thanks for all the great videos!

"lookout, lookout, LOOKOUT!!!" While doing nothing to avoid the inevitable.

Ah yes, WT. Where every match is Black Thursday for bomber pilots. Keep up the entertainment, Bo & Co!

Gaijan turning a legendarily tough aircraft into ...this... keeps me from playing the game. The enemy sneezes somewhere vaguely in it's direction and the B-17 explodes into many large pieces.

Hate how weak bombers are in war thunder

Always love watching TBLF fly their planes to the *extreme* and by that, I mean a minor turn in any direction that exceeds a G.

Is this the one where Stickboi dies... again and again?

Tell me Gaijan is on crack without telling me Gaijan is on crack with these aircraft and the BR rating. You would have thought the Germans built 10,000 TA-152s

I really wish they'd go and fix the bomber flight models. Tails have been snapping like twigs for far too long. I also wish they'd make missions, or more events, for bombers, to give them a better purpose in the game. Kinda like the P51 escort mission that they bring back every now and then, but more so emphasized on the bomber perspective than the fighters. I know the reason they probably don't do it is inability to get ai fighters working well enough, and they don't like focusing on PvE, which is what it would need... but bombing missions for each country and tier would be pretty cool. It's just a little disheartening to see the potential for missions like that in the game, but knowing it'll probably never happen. Like bomber interior models lol *cries* (yes i know there are other games that do have a better bombing experience. War Thunder just has some of the best looking flight models and flight controls that i have ever experienced (imo), and those QOL updates for bombers i don't think would be that difficult if they actually set to it, and i think would be far more liked and used than other things they are doing, like naval)

I saw it was a b-17 video and I was thinking "Oh this is going to be GOOD"

I find it strange the B-17 constantly snaps it wings but the Lanc and PE-8 can stunt plane flying.

they need to buff the heck out of the b17 its almost impossible to play without dying, one 20mm shouldnt rip the entire aircraft in half long ways

I find it funny how the most threatening enemy to a B-17 is a high g (1) maneuver

Last time you flew the B-17 was how I first came across the channel, now you're the only WT related channel I still follow, keep it up.

Gaijin really needs to fix the b-17

that tail is as strong as my will to live

Actually the moment u loose at least 2/3 of the rudder on any plane, the game says "fuck physics" and u are dead,(and go into a flat-spin no matter what) despite the plane otherwise still would be able to fly! And I do believe that all bomber tails are "factory defective" in this game! I mean bombers are way too easy kills than their real life counterparts.

3:46 Bo: Chris? Chris: Bo? (high five)

I love how totally realistic these in game damage models are.

I would suggest a drinking game where you take a shot every time Bo loses his tail, but I'm pretty sure you would die from alcohol poisoning if you try that.

Jesus they nerfed this thing into the god damn ground. US bombers were damn near impossible to kill. German Anti Air crews reported that they didn’t shoot at them because it’s a waste of ammo. There’s bombers that have literally been struck by multiple direct 8,8 shots and made it home.

I flew my B-17 out after finishing Masters of the Air, it’d been a while. Never again lol.

The flying fortress, made of only the strongest cardboard

b-17 thinks about turning, plane folds in half

Hilarious how Bo tried hiding from the 335 behind stick and instead was the one to get it😂😂😂😂

Always wonderful to see Chris and Chris! Your prop videos are my favorite!

Man, it’s been a while since we’ve seen a B-17 on here. It’s nice. Time for the B-29 again then lol!

Oh my goodness!!! A b-17 video!!!! LETS GOOOO. THANKS BO

"Mistakes were made!" Yea, but think of all the villagers you saved from the Lancaster's Tallboy!

Disasters of the Air

So amazing how to choose to play the B-17, it's one of my favorite plane and i am still trying to grid the 5.0 B-17

Ham, buddy, I know you can do amazing things as a pilot but when it comes to you in a bomber the safety disance isn't measured in feet anymore...it's in states!

3:38. I can not tell you the fury i felt when his tail just popped off like that.

Thank you for your sacrifice in playing bombers for this video

Omg I haven’t watched a war thunder video in months u less it’s bo and bombers thank you so much

I love this plane!! 😊 Thank you for a fantastic video!! 💜

FINALLY A NEW B-17 VID I WAITED 3 YEARS THANK U THANK U THANK U THANK U!

The "A bit of Grace" skin looks really nice! If I ever use the b17 again, will have to look into getting that.

Good luck with your next video bo your videos are amazing and I love them Can't wait to see you next one😄

3:20 Everything was going along pretty well until it wasn't. 😂

Intense nostalgia as I recall my introduction to UKposts and this crowd arguing in DCS. 😊

Literally the best cinematic gameplay ever

The 2005 Dukes of Hazzard reference at 11:32, I instantly knew what scene you are referring to and I'd hate to have been Luke and that safe. 😂

YES, Bismarck is back !!

Lovley to see Chris, Ham, and Bis again

Just finished watching Masters of the air on Apple TV, then I thought I’d be nice to see a B-17 video. The universe works in mysterious ways

been up for 18 seconds. usually i see stuff about one hour after you upload. best day ever.

I remember when the B17 could tank a few shots before a wing or the tail was ripped off, now it just falls apart like its being held together with hopes and dreams

Yes!!! Old Skool Bomber Video... True classic TBLF territory 😂😂

Man I wish bombers were a bigger part of the game in their own mode some how.

And thats why i have playing bombers like you fly for minutes on end just to die and do it all over again.Peak bomber gameplay

More bomber shinanigans 😉😉 got to love it

0:20 that is the most epic thing I seen all day😎🔥✈️

This is a cinematic masterpiece😎

Thank you guy for the birthday present this is awesome!

This is like the b29 experiment video you did a few years back. One minute everythings fine next minute the planes on fire the tails fallen off.

thanks for playing the b-17, its my favourite plane

0:29 hey thats me in the I-225 :D

Yes!!! Videos like your old B-24 and old B-17 videos!!!

I love your videos and it makes me laugh alot. Keep it up🤣🤣

This is probably the first video where Bismarck's rage didn't turn him into Skidmarck.. His Anger management must be working.

Masters of the air moment

I feel called out by that bank account joke xD I know not how anything doing with that works, i just hope the green goes the correct direction lol

2:53 Me 20 Kilometers away in the enemy team: 👁🔭

You take 2 cannon rounds and the B17s tail just rips off. I mean come on, as much as the B17 had fawls it was very survivable. But dont worry, there is no bias in WarThunder

"I'm familiar with his work" Classic Bo stoicism, brilliant but DOOMED.

flying in a line nice and handy for people attacking miss 1 hit other 3

Great video bo and co!

Man that Lancaster!

bomber flight models are such a joke these days. if someone so much as looks at you you die. you're ai gunners are effectively asleep, so you need to fly and man the turrets at the same time.

EYYYYYY HAM IS BACK!!!! havent seen him in a long while

Aircraft collision in a B-17 with the texas raider camo? Too soon?

The last time he did a B-17 Video he turned it into a fighter. Freedom Doesn't Knock It Rings

Love how it was the same 335 that killed Bo on separate occasions

Been a bit since i saw this aircraft. Still funny as hell

those lancaster vs B-17 want me want to see a full on big bombers vs big bombers event

Bismark on the B-17: "It's a good machine." Yes it was, but woud someone please tell that to GAIJIN??

I wish there was a bomber pve mode half the reward but its more laid back gameplay where you can focus on bombing targets

Honestly a lot of times your banter is...not my thing, but this whole video is hilarious.

Love the video!

That first clip is hilarious

It’s been a while since bo played one of the big boy planes

I have waited for this video for years, thank you for bringing the bomber formations back. I was wondering if someone could tell me what the B-17 skin is that Bo has been using, is it a live.warthunder or just a special limited time one?

What the hell am I watching? You guys are hilarious. Just kinda stumbled on this. I could listen to this as a podcast. You guys are funny as hell . It’s like “Monty pythons- bomber squadron alfa “ or something probably funnier cuz I’m not a comedian.

This is the crew I wish I had.

Bo, Bo, Bo. The B-17 is a BOMBER, not a fighter. You can do extreme manoeuvres with it. But you do have my sympathy; the rest of TBLF can't seem to fly in a straight line without shenanigans.

I don't know how, but somehow this seems worst than the PB4Y video, and I thought that video was the epitome of the 4-engined bomber experience.

THE B17 IS BACKKK!!!!!

Great video

2:20 - *The Tactical Clump* 😹

Hambone yeee

Freedom doesn't knock.. IT RINGS!!
