Why do you try to use every bomber as a dog fighter?
What next? Dog fighting in a

Aaand it's gone
well they might not go uppity up up but they definitely go down
I love that film XD
Every bomber ever
Better than the front falling off
Me: can't even get 2 kills in air RB as a fighter.
Bo: becomes ace in a bomber.
It's easy with broken .50 and stupids Zeros trying to destroy you.
@@dse763 It's not that easy but those players were basically free kills: slow targets, limited armaments and ammo and they went straight towards the strategic bombers, those guys are geniuses. The Ki-61 guy was the only one who knew what he was doing (and he probably had the worst aircraft in this match).

Lmao you might want to check how much damage minengeschoss can do to an aircraft irl
I just came here after watching a B-17 piggyback riding on another B-17
@@jiaruiyan870 The aft fuselage shouldn't fall of from 20 mm fire, even minengeschoß. The horizontal- and vertical stabilisers and the wings should have the possibility of falling of due to 20mm fire.
You survived a strafe without your tail falling off, I'm so proud
Nice hacks :)
In War Thunder I was playing as a B-29 bomber and I've lost part of my right wing but I still managed to successfully complete the mission I only had three engines though I couldn't turn left because I had a hold left just to stay up but I also had some support with another B-29 who put part of his left wing under my right wing to help keep me up because him and I were the only two left idk how him and I survived 8 bf-109s but we did it
@Ximvaks i made a joke because my b17 doesnt survive a sneeze on it
@@BrainDamage0001 that's sick
And it being b29s probably made it twenty times cooler
Not all in the life explodes
Some Boeing rep, probably: "General, this new fangled B-17 model excels at turn fighting and would be more than a match for the Japanese 'Zeke'"
When Bo said
"You're anything but professional"
I felt that.

Yo, good to see you smigol.

There was a B-17 that did “go fighter mode” look up old 666, you’ll see, also the bombardier named Joe Sarnofsky( sorry if I misspelled that ) won the Medal of Honor posthumously
Wasn’t that the most armed b-17 in WW2 that got ganged up on by 20 (give or take a few) Japanese zeros?

Bo, freedom doesn’t knock or ring.
It comes in the form of .50 cal
Or in an M4 Sherman
It rings when a garand ejects the clip
Of many .50 cals
it brrrrrrts
No the definition of freedom is 2 .50 cal
That is how you deliver freedom, with a B-17G-60-VE. Happy Independence Day my fellow Americans.

You’d be surprised by how much they could take, War Thunder doesn’t give them enough credit.
ClingyCrab1951 one 30mm mk108 shell can take the tail of a spitfire clean off in real life. I don’t think the b17 can do that much better lol
@@jiaruiyan870 www.warhistoryonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/eeebe3963b7baaec9dd049b4c39e21e2.jpg
This B-17 took an 88 flak round to the tail and it did okay.
The majority of bomber losses irl were due to engine damage, or pilot hits, not structural failure. The reality of heavy bombers is that they still hold together with entire chunks blown out of tails, fuselage, even the wings.
Go watch documentaries where pilots, German or otherwise, talk about how they approach a bomber. They target engines, pilots, and gunners, they don't try to saw through the entire thing. I'm sure you could saw a B-17 tail off with 30mm cannons, but you'll expend a lot more ammo than if you just put a burst into the engines.
And that ammo is needed when the B-17 formation is 50 planes not 5.
@@jiaruiyan870 lol you got someone to call you on it. theres lots of incredible damage photos of b17s that came back.
When no is in fighter:
Other team: oh on we are done for
When no is in bomber:
Other team: save you ammo, let him destroy himself
I had to read this atleast 4 times
Yeah i was confused with when no is..... part
You know a bomber is good when Bo and friends not only drop their payloads and destroy the target, but then get ace status with a bomber and go out of their way to bully fighters. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
2:58 Damn ok just recreate the release trailer
1:26 "great shooting bear, don't get cocky"- Bo Solo 2020
Truly different times... when bo made his sharp turns the wings stayed perfectly intact... bad b17 nerfs are among us nowadays.
Against the Japanese: B-17 stands a chance
Against the Germans: Auf Wiedersehens, fickbois
Ja
Cept the time a German plane rammed one, and it landed fine.
The amount of fighters that died targeting bombers is honestly insane
B-17 formations, my dreams come true.
That B-17 ace with the tail gone be like:
B-17: "I didn't hear no bell!"
😂
Man that gunner that destroyed the plane that killed Mike was EPIC !
3:10 "There is a beast. Deep inside you. It will not die. IT WILL FIGHT BACK"
that's from the war thunder trailer thing
@@fuldaman1691 Yup. I just had to. Couldn't resist the opportunity.
@@goodbo2181 good enough you earned my respect for life
Plane: Gets shot in half Bo: I see nothing wrong
The b-17 doesn’t have fifty cals it has freedom dispensers
Everybody gangsta until the b17 becomes a fighter
" Theres a beast deep inside you it will not die it will fight back" to a whole new level
The only times I remember seeing footage of a B-17 losing its tail, was because of friendly fire via dropping bombs. It went out of formation.
Mind you, I’ve seen tons of footage, and listened to many stories at the VFW years ago in 2004 before the greatest generation began to dwindle. The craziest thing they ever saw was a german plane ramming them, unexploded flak in the wing, a giant hole in the left wing (heh) and two B-17’s colliding.
In war thunder, it can be brought down by simple 7.7’s.
Like so much for those big steel beams everywhere, huh....
StickBoy restores the art of Plane-fu by Body slamming Bo. Hambone is just Legendary.. and Mike.. well Cannon fodder comes to mind..
Great Video HIGHLY entertaining.
MrMagnat007 I prefer “Meat Shield”
Darn you Bo! In the hide and seek you crushed my little L33 with your Centauro.
Who would win?
A massive 4 engine full metal extremely well constructed bomber build to shrug of damage or
*a single german 20mm HE shell which is as big as 2 fingers next to each other?*
Gaijin be like: *GERMANY ALWAYS HAS TO WIN!* _Inserts Admiral Graf Spee, Tiger H1 at 5.3, Panther D at 5.3, Jagdtiger at 6.7, Panzer IV 70(V) at 5.3, completely removes drag from BF 109, gives FW 190 UFO turn rate, nervs .50 cals, buffs MG 151_
50 cals are way too overpowered. And the in game, the b17 meets 20 and 30mm machine cannons which would tear the b17 in half with around three shoots
50 cals can shoot planes down and turn panzer 4s into swiss cheese
@@dagbakka9995 Say realism all you want but Mouse Aim exists.
Mineshells plus the accuracy of mouse aim shouldn't be a thing, we cannot change mouse aim but we can nerf the mineshells to an acceptable level and it'll be a win win for all as everyone that faces Germany hates there broken mineshells.
@@lordwintertown8284 I understand
I still hate 50 cals though. Rip my wings off
@@dagbakka9995 play U.S. first before saying .50 cals are OP. Please just do it. When you spray down a 109 with constant hitmarkers appearing on your reticle, nothing happens, then his friend comes so you have to break and the 109 outturns you and oneshots you then you will know which of the two is the broken weapon system.
7 views. Last time I was this early Bo had to buy Coby a new set of headphones.
Don’t hit me with the nostalgia like that and act like it’s nothing.
“Go around me to the LEFT” 😂
*Insert Alec Guinness voice*
Cobey...now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.
I wish my friends were as wholesome as this.
Bo " if he can do it I can do it too" proceeds to stall the engines, get stuck inverted, and become a lawn dart with no wings.
Now that really is an intro clip
The rising phoenix moment was nothing short of pure majesty and grace
The B-17E/L is my favourite plane in warthunder
B-24 and B-25 are my favorite bombers. P-47 favorite fighter.
@@josephphillips8019 B-24 is the real sheet
@@emilbt7588 hah. B-24s have better cruising speed, bombload, and more mass produced then the B-17.

This is just Awesome! Thanks for the laughs Bo and Crew! Happy 7 year channel anniversary and have a 7 more blessed years to come!
Finally a new b17 video. I like bomber gameplays alot so it would be nice if they would do more of them
First time playing Bombers in WT, but big fan of the B17 and it’s history. What I learned in game that mimics real life - the formation is your life. Break formation, you die. Formation flying is HARD, especially during turns with different models of aircraft. If you get to the target, the bombing run itself is pretty anticlimactic if there is no flak. Also, 30s are relatively useless against German aircraft, 50s are your friend. And finally, Bo is a total WT aviation wizard, turn fighting Zeros in a B17. Kids, DONT try this at home! Lol. Hope y’all have as much fun watching as we did making it!
great job Mike
did you also learn to never be in the formation in front of Hambone or is that in the TBLF training manual?
I like how the formation flying actually worked.
Waldemar especially when I figured out how to hold position lol.
"In gonna turnfight a zero, thats what this thing is made for"
People that built the B17e and specified it was a bomber: *excuse me what the fuck*
Great video as always keep up the good work Bo and tblf
Bo, F.222, lord knows the shenanigans that will follow :o
Now that idea makes me smile
16:30 - "You won't get out, not when it dives at 300 knots"
I'd love to see documentation on how often it was for a bombers tail to fall off clean from an engagement from the direct rear, or if anything at any angle.
Very rare, I'd say
Actually, the area just behind the wing, and just in front of the waist gunners position, was the weakest and German pilots were instructed to aim there and you could literally break the plane in two
@@maxwellclark6992 As I had said, I would love to see documentation. Even then dude, they would have to literally aim top-down at the fuselage. In game, that shit happens when they aim anywhere at the thing.
Lmao you really do need to see what a 30mm mk108 shell can do to an aircraft irl. Spoiler, one hit can take the tail of a spitfire clean off.
@@jiaruiyan870 Yeah, a Spitfire, with a tail as thin as your Wehraboo logic. But it's not just 108's that can magically take a bombers tail clean off. Even Japanese .50s can do that shit, as well as at a level flight engagement. You didn't seem to get my point which was that the damage modeling is ass in the game, and especially with bombers.
"great shooting Bear, don't get cocky!" you're the Jedi Master Bo
I've been waiting for this for four years
"Five O'clock Rock"
" *WHAT* "
"I dOnT KnOw"
FINALLY A B17 VIDEO I HAVE BEEN WISHING FOR YOU TO MAKE ONE YESSSS HAPPY 4TH
Thank you guys for putting this video together.
YES finnaly a NEW B-17 Video
*sees first 15 seconds of the video* Its good to see everything going exactly as planned 😌
Little did I know that was a preview of all the mass chaos about to come lmao
"it's just like Beggar's canyon back home."
[drops a bombload]
Never reduce your engines unless you are dropping bombs. You need all the speed you can to climb and run from fighters. And always climb. A bomber only has 1 true defense: distance. Always try to make a fighter stall to climb to you, or keep them behind you so you have the max amount of gunners facing them. If needed, turn away and run while climbing. And keep your bomb bay closed. If you leave it open, it creates more drag and slows you down.
I didn’t realize how much prettier the game is until coming back to these older videos! So much has changed I can’t believe I didn’t notice 😂
I feel like the bombers have gotten weaker, but yeah the graphics are top notch.
3:13: “Their is a beast inside you. It will not die... IT WILL FIGHT BACK!”
i've been waiting for this plane for 3 years now it has come
Thank you for another plane video Bo! Love them! :D
Bo: He is in the carrier that gonna sink
Bear: Wait what.. Laughed hard
I love the videos with big bombers and lots of fails. It's jsut so funny to watch.
My plane:gets hit once
My pilot:I’m gunna take a nap
always enjoy the escorts drinking coffee and watching the show
Brilliant vid. Mad action.
Holy this first battle is so cinematic 👀 watching the Japanese aircraft explode into flames as they boom through the formation looks so nice
Love your video
I like how other people are gonna try to pretend to be me when i was flying with you😂
I'll vouch hes my Friend on xbox you all need to stop talking Credit for it.
The wyvern pilot must've thought: "wow, that guy is an idiot"
I have been waiting for a b17 video for about 2 years
Bo turns into a lawn dart.....perfect!
Ham and you every time: "We can fly Blue Angel formations and not hit each other"
Ham and you 2 seconds later: *tail snaps off*
I love it
0:06 And kids, that's how I met your mother.
I love how in the first clip we finally saw the effectiveness of rear gunners
I’ve been waiting for you to play these
Thanks for the good video bo
Great vid. Love the title! 07 brothers!
2:55 Bo: "I'M READY! HOW 'BOUT YOU?!"
Imagine thinking your formation will save you from like 5 Bf-109s and then having to watch as two of your friends get shot down and slowly fall towards the ground
Holy crap that zero kill was spectacular.
Amazing vid as always bo and gang!
18:20
granpa how did your frends die
Grandpa: our pilot tryed to show some tricks to a wyvern S4 but failed... i was the only one to get out
Gran son: that is sad grandpa
So many funny moments in this video. TBLF screwing around yet and despite the derp they often kick ass. As that first run against the Japanese shows, TBLF massed and coordinated fire can do a lot. And of course with Hambone stealing the show with his antics again as always.😂😂🤣🤣
16:40 "Like a phoenix, like a phoenix I rise!" - Hambone 😂😂
Great video Bo and team.
The collisions are the best part of the video
My friends and I love playing bombers. We found that the B-17 by itself is very easy prey, but the 3 of us combined were nearly unstoppable. One match we had 9 kills between us. People just couldn't resist 3 bombers flying in formation close to each other, that's like 3 easy kills.
Holy shit that collision at the beginning looked straight out of a movie
Yes i was waiting for someone 2 upload this bomber so i can see if its a good one thx!!!
As a b17 player this is literally every game sometimes it's fun, other times it's watching your tail being ripped off from about a 2km away.
I love these bomber gameplay :)
Looks like y'all could use some Red Tail fighter escort
That B-17 part in the start is so realistic lmao
The b17s that couldnt
Bo is the only person I know of that can ace in a bomber consistently
Bo, playing light and medium fighters: We need to be carful!
Bo, playing heavy bombers: Lets CRUSH
It's nice to see someone else with the Man'o'War paint scheme. Been years since I met another B-17G pilot from the old days
11:09 bo became the b-17 dubbed ye old pub 😂
