*Attention* I see some people subbing to the channel from this video which is great! However, please understand that I *no longer do* game play videos but provide content on the history of military aviation (operations, planes etc). It's pretty awesome and you should stick around for that ;)
Dan S To be more precise, it is a matter of acknowledging that pretty much all defensive guns on planes are about deterrence because it is very difficult for gunners to see an enemy, let alone get good fire on it. Since the odds of getting a hit are very small irrespective of what gun you are using, the question is if you consider using bigger and deadlier guns is worth the additional weight. Every pound you put into your guns is a pound not able to be put towards fuel or bombs. The B17 Flying Fortress, for example, could have carried a lot more bombs or added dozens of miles to its range if it had used .30cal machineguns for defense instead of .50cals, as the smaller guns were literally less than half the weight. However, a lot fewer Axis planes would have gone home with expensive repair bills if they had not packed the bigger guns. Such is the question designers had to answer for themselves.
Many wartime Lancaster bomber crewmen had received a modicum of pilot training "before being selected for other vital jobs". Those still keen to try driving a plane could go to "night school" early or late in missions. There was only one pilot position on most operational bomber airplanes and to say the pilot and trainee both had high motivation to teach and learn was a given. Bailing out over enemy territory was to be avoided if at all possible, especially if somebody, anybody, could get a shot up plane back into friendlier skies.
every time i hear that i think about that guy that landed his plane in the river in new york because that was an amazing landing but he had to swim away from it not walk
"the squirrels are my people, they will not snitch" Speak for yourself. One time I bought this Rolex from a squirrel who said it was made from 18 carrot gold, turned out to be fake, silver, and just covered in glitter. Never trusting them again!
Years ago I watched your channel and learnt to dominate with the FW-190 in War Thunder. Super tutorials and it was a huge help. I sadly don't play anymore but glad to see you're still making content! Once I get a new PC I may pick it up again.
Things you never want to hear your pilot say: "Where the fuck is the compass on this thing!?!" "That's *amazing*, I'm gonna die..." "The squirrels are my people, they will not rat us out!"
Bo Huggabee I meant where you can actually aim down the sights of your gunner's gun and not have to aim when the camera is above the plane, if that makes sense
Wow! excellent footage Bismark, Excellent crew work! You show how much it is fun to fly bombers in your videos! nice job, please keep it up, upload more! (I love your humour as well, the unforgettable "why are you licking your gun")
Usually we just scream Oklahoma. LMAO. Our squad code word was "Oh expletive they are shooting my expletive up from * oclock". That was a step up from where we started when the code word was "Well I am going down, by the way they are attacking us from *oclock". Good times.
"That's what I do, I FLY low" - I died lol! This looks like lots of fun, you guys funny as hell and will probably download the game after this... nice video!
Great stuff. Enjoyed it a lot. And dang...Bo has gotten really good real quick :) You of course, always on top of your game. Iron Cross for all of you. Oh - uhh or Red Star this time around.
bo is getting better Bis, you can't deny that. not as technical as you but he has a feel for it. Also can't deny that he's an excellent war thunder pilot. Good vid I enjoyed it!
Man I still have hyperlobby on my desktop. This game brings back so many great memories. Still have my X53 flight stick. I remember all the custom setups i had for aircraft trims and crazy stick calibration setups as well. IL-2 was and probably will always be the best dogfighting simulator of all time./Bmbing/strafing/taking off/landing/flatspins/redouts/blackouts/full trim to turn harder/amazing graphics/cockpit detail/IR tracker/bombing sights u can adjust from 5km while doing 200 mph and hit it on the bullseye. I miss this game...
I hope you young guys realize the luck you have to be able to play with such an amazing toy. I am over 50 years old and as a kid I would have never imagined that anything close to that would ever be available to me.
Very enjoyable Video, especially loved the "Alarm, Alarm" bit :). I am still flying IL2 Sturmovik 1946 personally, just waiting on them to release a Pacific version of their latest engine. Will be good to be back in the cockpit of a "Zero" :)
The landing was hilarious! Yup.... All fine.... huhuh yes.... ...perfect... hmmm. okay.....that's right....excellent...PULL UP! PULL UP! *crash* XD I died
American Pilot: Yee haw! German Gunner: TECHNIQUE! LIFE! A FUTURE! MEDALS! DON'T YOU RUIN THIS FOR ME! That Russian bomber was so confused that it was crewed by these guys, it just wanted to go back to its hangar and sleep.

will you ever make another channel doing these types of videos?
Please Bis ;-; I need more of your perfect German humour
Yeah these videos are really enjoyable.

Why not? I'm really interested in aviation history, but much more interesting in historically accurate games. Especially this game.
A german gunner, with a US pilot in a Soviet plane. Strangest coalition ever in WWII.

This was as good as playing. You guys are great. I have been entertained. Thanx
It sounds like a call of duty campaign
2:14 *runway ending in about 35 yards*
*pilot enhances the tension by wiping the steam from his goggles*
One-handed take off, best take off
i was actually shouting "ROTATE! ROTATE!" at the screen
Airplane scene
+Bubbles I love bubbles I am watching trailer park boys right now

"Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing" /nodnod
+Vaserus And someone said to me: "And a perfect landing is where you can use your plane again"
Daniel Jensen and if it didn't take 24 hours to repair, then you are God
Dubsy 102 Lol
every time i hear that i think about that guy that landed his plane in the river in new york because that was an amazing landing but he had to swim away from it not walk
Vaserus another happy landing
Oh man, they argued a bit just like a real crew. How real does it get, lol.
Much tension. It was pretty cool
Legend27, we meet again...
TheLegend27 I will destroy you the legend 27
I was once a pile of poop but now I am just shit
This is a simulator, not a game.
11:38 OH SHIT! ALARM! ALARM!
Gets me every fucking time XD
*ALARM ALARM!!!!*
reminds me of Das Boot.
´Notfall MG-42 vorbereiten! ♥
Primarch Alpharius I drink ze beer from ze glass...Ooh ja
Pz.Kpfw.VI Ausf.B Tiger II
NO!
The movie!
lol ye its like Das Boot :D
Nice action. This video actually makes me want to buy the game. I haven't flown ww2 sim since the original il2.
Same here, the game is looking fantastic and the teamwork is just top notch :). Thx guys!
bludclot what's the game called
IL-2: Battle of Stalingrad?
Same. I love the original il2! I have the bundle. I just wish this also had the American and Japanese battles
Do it
That "Alarm! Alarm!" @ 11:38 was PERFECT. Just like out of Commandos games.
Just like das Boot
"Alaaaaarm Alaaaaarm" my favorite part
"the squirrels are my people, they will not snitch"
Speak for yourself.
One time I bought this Rolex from a squirrel who said it was made from 18 carrot gold, turned out to be fake, silver, and just covered in glitter.
Never trusting them again!
The bastard, we shall send him to the Eastern Front !
"...18 carrot gold..." Uh... I think that was a rabbit in disguise.
@@heyidiot DAMN SPIES
" the squirrels are my people. They won't tell on me!" hahaha
that right there earned my sub and like.
Years ago I watched your channel and learnt to dominate with the FW-190 in War Thunder. Super tutorials and it was a huge help. I sadly don't play anymore but glad to see you're still making content! Once I get a new PC I may pick it up again.
Thank you :) Happy to hear that those videos helped you
Hey they helped me too! Well you and a few others... plus being a badass also helped.
I am so boss I use my fists as the rear gun.
why did you leave warthunder?
+Danish Raven Because after three years of Gaijin's bullshit, I had enough
Because WT is a bullshitty game.
I feel like i'm helping some spies who stole russian aircraft but still: "blyat" is a nice authentic word to say when you're under attack.
I'll make sure to memorize it
That's just blyatiful.
+Bismarck
additionally, "chort" or "twoyu ..." ( with pause like you wanted to continue but stop yourself) can work too
"Let me get my ruler"
LOL ! perfect ! Yank pilot, german gunner, marriage made in HELL!
Nuclear Bomber Where's the Brits?
Russian plane and russian game
That is every pacifists dream come true. Nationalities united together in... war.
Well...
They were speaking English
RemusKingOfRome5 lmfaooo
I wish you could do this in War Thunder.
Kuddlesworth NA yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!
Kuddlesworth NA Me too.
Kuddlesworth NA Lets struggle Kuddle.
too bad war thunder is shit
Penetrate
Things you never want to hear your pilot say:
"Where the fuck is the compass on this thing!?!"
"That's *amazing*, I'm gonna die..."
"The squirrels are my people, they will not rat us out!"
"there where the tracers are" "oh the pew pews"
This makes me wonder, wouldn't War Thunder be so much more fun if they added a gunner view? It'd actually make flying bombers so much easier
is there not? they have a pilot view. that game was great till it became unplayable.
Bo Huggabee I meant where you can actually aim down the sights of your gunner's gun and not have to aim when the camera is above the plane, if that makes sense
ElAshtonio you can cycle to gunner in a bomber your plane just flies straightish
or have multiplayer planes ? that'd be awesome
since when has war thunder been unplayable. I played it a few hours ago
Wow! excellent footage Bismark, Excellent crew work! You show how much it is fun to fly bombers in your videos! nice job, please keep it up, upload more! (I love your humour as well, the unforgettable "why are you licking your gun")
It is always a blast with the TBLF crew :)
Oh yes! Best crew ever!! ^^
Bo's getting better with every mission. Next time, try putting him in charge. It can only end well!
Yup, he is making good progress
Bismarck I wanted to see the other landing! Will it be posted?
Usually we just scream Oklahoma. LMAO. Our squad code word was "Oh expletive they are shooting my expletive up from * oclock". That was a step up from where we started when the code word was "Well I am going down, by the way they are attacking us from *oclock". Good times.
LKNANML mine was shitfire i have bullets up the ass and a half a plane down then would tell my friends where they are from
Any Landing you walk away from is a good Landing
~Launchpad McQuack~
I didn't know Klaus from American Dad was a TH-camr
Which episode? From original Ducktales?
I'm drinking Dr. Pepper right now you think I give a shit? XD
THANK YOU FOR REALISTIC COCKPIT VIEW with both of you in here!! I love it when people do this and its hard to find. This is totally awesome !!
You and Bo's commentary is priceless sir !!! Love it :) Keep em coming !
"That's what I do, I FLY low" - I died lol!
This looks like lots of fun, you guys funny as hell and will probably download the game after this... nice video!
great video guys_ that was EXACTLY the type of cooperative gameplay in a ww2 SIM that I've dreamed of since I owned an Amiga. brilliant
This was better than some war movies that I've seen.
U sounded like a German when you shouted “ALARM ALARM!”
"Any landing you can walk away from is a perfect landing" - KSP motto...quite applicable :D
"Squirrels are my people, they will not snitch"
*tear in my eye*
Show me your ways!
"The Squirells are my People . And They will not Snitch"
...and that earned my Like and Sub.
I've been watching you and bo play this game for awhile now and I am convinced I need this game in my life
"The squirrels are my people. They will not snitch" lol!
One feisty, stealth Peshka :). Loved it as usual. Keep it up please!
Personally, I am glad you did a video from the gunners perspective. Do more videos like this.
The "ALARM ALARM!!!!!" is EXACTLY the way every german soldier shouts in every movie or videogame ever!
A good landing is any one you walk away from. A perfect landing is one where they can re-use the plane.
"Let him know that we're not scared." That killed me :-D
Oooohh I LOVE the music at 10:45, it fits perfectly.
I so want to have a dogfight like in the attack on the bridge, it looked awesome.
Your pilot is so funny. Reminds me of some badass pilots that are so confident they could take a nap in the cockpit mid flight
This was extremely realistic dialog and absolutely freaking HILARIOUS!!!
Great stuff. Enjoyed it a lot. And dang...Bo has gotten really good real quick :) You of course, always on top of your game. Iron Cross for all of you. Oh - uhh or Red Star this time around.
Bis and Bo....what a crew, bloody funny. Good stuff.
Hilarious! When you got a little panicked you started yelling out "ALARM, ALARM!"
Stunning! I really do miss these. So much so I had to come back for a second look!!
bo is getting better Bis, you can't deny that. not as technical as you but he has a feel for it. Also can't deny that he's an excellent war thunder pilot. Good vid I enjoyed it!

Very funny I really enjoyed you guys together. Thank you
First vid of yours that i've seen, and i'm subbing. Some positive reinforcement for you.
37000
I never flew this IL2 version. It looks so much better than the older versions. Thanks for sharing!
Pull up! Pull up!
Exellent video! What a sence of humor :)
I don't often Lol but your love-hate dynamic with Bohi always makes me laugh :-D
Nice video, its cool to see it from the other perspective from Bo-Time
That was awesome. Nice bomb drop and made the tailing 109 pay.
I hope you young guys realize the luck you have to be able to play with such an amazing toy. I am over 50 years old and as a kid I would have never imagined that anything close to that would ever be available to me.

LOL @ "The squirrels are my people; they will not snitch!"
The motto of the NoE flyer.
Bo will only get better with practical application of the wisdom you instill.
4:24 looool ''I'm on auto-level bro, I'm drinking Dr. Pepper right now. You think I give a shit?!''
ALARM ALARM :)
Dan M8 when is that
11:38
tarsitrs thanks
omg i was eating in dat moment and now i laught so hard that all is over my screen xD
I went ww2 at that moment
"Alarm! Alarm! Alarm!" I damn near spit on my screen. Damn good job guys.
You guys are awesome. Great dialog.
That pylon bombing music got me really hyped. Well done you guys.
Horrido
Danke schoen :)
Wiaf wtf
***** What's up?
It's cool to hear Bo on the other side of mike for a change ;) cool video!
ALARM ALARM xDD haha fande ich richtig spannend :D

Yup.... All fine.... huhuh yes.... ...perfect... hmmm. okay.....that's right....excellent...PULL UP! PULL UP! *crash* XD I died
I love your german accent.
And the banter is great ;D
Fun video again, as always. :)
I'm singing the Jurassic Park theme when I'm taking off, too!
Stuck in my head every.single.time...
Bismarck ALARM ALAAARM!
I just love the humor of those 2 guys...
This is proper comedy co-op in a video game it's awesome!

"Squirrels are my people; they will not snitch" LOL
"The squirrels are my people, they will not snitch".... XD
Brilliant - love these team videos :)
That Landing Was So Good You Should Join The "AIRFORCE" bet they'd let you fly little more then a Wing suit😂 lol.
That landing was funny though
Brilliant! listening to you two made me laugh!!
"let me get my ruler..." hahah.. cracked me up. XD'
I don't think I've ever seen you bring Bo home alive. I think you're relegated to the gunners seat Bis!
Am I the only one who can't stop watching this? ALARM, ALARM
American Pilot: Yee haw!
German Gunner: TECHNIQUE! LIFE! A FUTURE! MEDALS! DON'T YOU RUIN THIS FOR ME!
That Russian bomber was so confused that it was crewed by these guys, it just wanted to go back to its hangar and sleep.
lol Good video, sounds like you are having a blast. Subscribed!
LMAO... when I heard "ALARM"... I thought I was in "Das Boot"... :o
that was exciting ! I was quite concerned for you even though its just a game !
I hear a back seat pilot! haha good stuff man
Whoa, the landing.... aaaannnd, nailed it!
That was splendid fun.
Cheers, my brave loons.
Unusual for you to get one out before Bo does... or maybe I just saw yours first ;p
A fine landing at the end, Bo must be taking pointers from me XD
German efficiency
The bants between you two is top drawer 😂🫡
LOL The German and American styles of banter is so typical its hilarious.
What is this game
+John H IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad
"I want him to know that we aren't scared! We aren't gonna take none-a that!"
Pew pews ???? Hilarious. I really enjoyed watching that for some weird reason.
I lost it when bismark just started screaming, lol: ALAAAAAAAAAAARM!!!
Good fun vid, when my pc is fixed, I’m getting this game. Good job👍🎞
Blue Max for you on this one super fun vid. Thanks for posting.
I do miss the game content.
As a commercial pilot IRL, I laughed my ass off for 16 minutes. Well done, gentlemen :)
