The Late 298D was added in a recent War Thunder event and I have been 50/50 on wether or not to do a video on this guy. Well, I finally made up my mind and here it is! I actually had a lot of fun with this thing and it wasn't nearly as bad as I feared it may be. I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

There is just something magical about float planes...
kinda
Then I saw your plane, now I'm a believer
Not a trace, of Stick in the sky...
@@Johan666ism maybe a Catalina...
@@jamesdykes517 You need pretty big rivers for one. But indeed, they had the galley and bunk beds ...
We need a squad of catalinas
What a masterpiece two baguettes acting as the pontoons
As a French main I know that French vehicles can use baguettes as fuel but prefer to use more common fuels.
Such a waste of delicious baquettes though
The French have truly mastered the art of weaponized bread
The fact it gets a torpedo means it's also France's best Anti-ship plane
Never underestimate the French!
France does have other torpedo planes, this thing is still the coolest
There's also the B-26C, the F6F-5N and the SB2C-5, but these are U.S. planes used by France through the lend-lease program, not French planes.
Apart from that, it comes down to the Latécoère 298D and the Marcel Bloch MB.175T (which also happens to be a fantastic bomber hunter), so . . . yeah, the Laté is *almost* France's best anti-ship plane - I believe the 175T is a tad better. Just a tad. 😄
I did not expect to see a TB-3 do a cobra today but I guess this crew can make anything happen
i mean its sturms, he does sturmling things
@@sabregunner1 I see it as more of a team effort between Sturms and Stick
@@n1thecaptain965 Go team!
That was a half-cobra. Almost anyone can do one. The real trick is to continue back into controlled, level flight afterwards.
@@advorak8529 I knew a comment like this was coming... yes, we all know it wasn't a real cobra, but it was a joke so no one cares.
Bo and stick turned into destroyers, and sturms was an aircraft carrier. The full naval experience
Ah, the most dangerous enemy, the enemy in blue.
Man I had forgotten how insane low tier air furballs were
They really need to add a Douglas TBD Devastator that had floats into the game. And also the F4F Wildcat that also had floats.
And the spitfire that had floats
Those would be really cool and the Russian one I can’t remember the name of
It’s the Be-2
Lots of planes had, or could have, floats. Like the Ju 52 ... and yes, there had been a good number of militarised versions with a gunner in a rear turret.
@@advorak8529Wouldn't be the only transport-turned-bomber in game tbh
The "peak" of French aviation LOL
In this episode of fun-Times With TBLF: Stickboy makes Mistakes™, pulls the rest of the team with him.
"I make no... mistakes" Sickboy's famous last words.
I completely agree that this is the best fighter France has ever produced. With every new jet model they roll out they move further and further away from the greatness that was the Late 298D. Great video, guys!!
Sturm goes up then tail first down, all in slow motion, PRICELESS!
The 298 was epic in Bo’s hands. He even somehow made the puny guns count!
Stick doing the takedown on Sturmling was absolutely hilarious!
Once again, the French do not disappoint. Vive La Baquette
Goddammit Bo that “yah gotta have faith” line gave me SOOO many Dutch Memories from Red Dead 2
Latecoerrrre is indeed epic. This thing can take insane amount of damage XD
Today, we get to see an AWACS version of the TB3.
In Bo's video, Late298D best fighter of France!
In real life, actual most sucessful plane in ground attack role for France during the battle for France.
No, seriously, the french were so desperate in trying to stop the german tank columns that they went to the naval air station and just told the pilots to go inland and look for german tanks to attack; nevermind that the pilots only knew how to attack ships and were more proficient with topedoes than bombs, and also nevermind that they were not specifically trained to fly overland, or had any knowledge of how to spot ground targets in flying overland, or that they had to do with civilian road maps because the navy did not have maps for navigating aereally overground. Well, they went anyway and did a better job at close air support than any other french plane.
So, better have a tank video using the Late 298D as it was historically: best french CAS plane!
You really want a new coach Stickboy? We can try to get Bismarck to take up that role, he was quite good at motivating peopple during the tank ball game on the birthday stream.
Probably could serve the French army for dinner on those two pontoons
I know right 😂
It's RKO outta nowhere. John Cena is you can't see him
That video was fully of fast paced and exciting action BO!!XD Another great video. Keep up the great work.
And don't forget: it can carry 2 bombs or a torpedo (a similarly useless one like on that premium Fw 190 A-5, that couldn't even sink a frigate, but since it is the lightest 190 I had much better results with it in air RB, and 2 x 20mm 151s more than enough) so maybe when the french coastal tree comes out this thing will be useful for something. But I can already see that the US planes (again) in the French tree are going to be the "workhorses" for naval as well.
I've actually seen people take things down with this thing in naval
"we have to show them up" never thought i'd hear that from someone flying a French aircraft.
Just started playing WT again after 6 years, it good to see my fav WT youtuber is still making content for us, thanks Bo
Love your work
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 for reaching 401k really love your videos and keep up the good work.
I think this my favorite airplane video you guys have made Bo!
Congratz on the 400k fellas.
man even more classic TBLF shinaniganary. keep it up
Much French, Very Pinnacle of Tech
Cheers to mighty, Stick and Sturms
that was the best yet! bo needs a slow plane and this was great
Loved the video @Bo Time Gaming! Can't wait for the next video man! That Talk about Stickboi "Coming out at them like John Cena and Suplexing the Enemy" was just hilarious LMAO! Also, if you want a Secret Weapon for the French, try the French Panther Tank!
idk why i love the sentence "bad news bo" so much
Thanks Bo & the boys for the vid, the french navy is proud of youse !!
Thanks for another great video! 💜
Amazing video, gave me a good laugh, keep up the good work
Fiesty little french plane. Keep up the good work!
No need to fear the pontoons are here
Amazing video bo and co
I must confess i died laughing multiple times at the communication chaos, jokes and general fun had in the video.
Mighty, I got your Guran Lagan reference. "
Believe in the me that believes in you"
Two Baguettes and a dream. The Moto of the French tblf office
I'm ready for action Rawr lol. great video !
Great video. This one was hilarious. :)
The real secret weapon of this aircraft is its name; imagine hearing, "there's a Late behind you break break break" and you're like I'm late for something???
Unfortunately Gaijin forgot the accent Bo did add in the title: Laté, short for Latécoère.
It's pronounced somewhat like Latte, so actually they're calling for a coffee break. :-)
He's not the coach you wanted but he's the coach you needed
Use your Thrust vectoring 45 min later I'm still in tears 😂😂😂
This is the type of gameplay that proves skill issue over pay to win in this game. Bo is the best pilot and he has proved it in this video!!!
The plane that has speed to fly in formation with Tb-3
ah good ol low tier, where your friendlies are more dangerous than the enemies
Losing both "floaties" is the best thing that could happen to this plane since unlike the Arado it has fuel in the wings too. Maybe u could try to shoot each other's off. + there was a land based version of this with retractable gears, and a stronger engine.
And yes even the maxed out gunners are: blind, drunk, handicapped, missing an arm, and stupid as shit, in this game, (unlike naval gunners).
Great video. That is quite the special plane
Attempt #550: Please try out the Stridsvagn M/42 Delat Torn.
500 comments yet on #550?
Did even know this plane existed in the game
Love seeing low tier dog fights. Can we expect to see low tier Bomber formation?
Lovely video today bo and co
The shenanigans from 5:20 to 6:40 😂😂😂👌
TBLF madness at its best
When Sturms crashed with Stick, it looked like the Executor (Super Star Destroyer) crashing into the Death Star II
Yes! Finally another air video! Gimme!
Bo is an amazing pilot the fact he lost both pontoons but still lived till the end like wow he even got rid of the fire assisted a kill on a b-10 and a other plane I forgot what it was but it had probably better turns than him. Bo is the best
The best airshow ever!
Bo Time Yes!
great vid! can you do another vid on the B-25j and the Firefly FR Mk V?
everything with sturmling is gold
Float truly are magical
That's a cool looking aircraft.
5:19 Hambone is the one who makes the trade mark 'mistakes'
That nose paintjob feels more like "😬" than "🦈".
1:48 That's one of the funniest shit ive seen in a while lmao
Day 7 Transmission: Its been a week here in the wilderness of War Thunder. Tanks of all nationalities roam the battlefields. I have almost been caught by a number of Big German Cats. If only TBLF would open its storage garages and pull out their T26E4 Super Pershing’s. God, the fact that Gaijin calls it the T26E1-1, that’s historical inaccuracy at its finest. Anyway, getting off topic. I am sending this to Bo’s HQ. Hopefully he checks his transmission log. I must go now. Need to keep on the move. *End Transmission*
Day 7 .... you had 7 days to die. And what are you doing?
Well, well, well, seems somebody got "sticked"!
"Oh no, squirrels..." broke me!
I would love to see more jet gameplay
Never seen a tb3 do that
5:36 TBLF losing four aircraft in 53 seconds, not from enemy fire, is so . . . TBLF.
Dreams really can come true
That is a very silly airplane. Flown by very silly people. So, good stuff.
A mighty fail for Mighty trying to go under that bridge
It's fascinating to learn about France's secret super weapon.
6:44 I didn't know you can colid with bomb in this game until now
Love it 😂
Will there be a A-1 Skyraider video?
Perfect video to wake up to lol
Sturmling was COOL!
Formation fly the Ju 87 B-2 lol
Please play the Stirling MKIII or the Lancaster MKI
5:18 "I think he's about to make one of his trademark mistakes..."
Ya sure looks like that was ezactly what he did to me🤣😂😅😇...
hmmm, something tells me Sturmling's plane wasn't rated for vetical flight.
Have you tried dropping the pontoons?
Cool can you do the 20mm variant of the d500 at 1.3
Big brain I-16 waits for you to become a ground target and completely annihilates you with rockets
It is powered by two baguettes and a croissant as a propeller
that face!😂
I forgot they added this. 😂
how did you even...?
It would be funny to see you guys in the flying school bus (that Italian tier 1 bomber the B.R.20) and the flying minivan (Ba.65) because low tier Italy is madness
Bo, did u get ur squad free, or with ge? its a lot of money, and i was just wondering
Seaplane pirates strike again
