I probably haven't flown the standard A6M2 in close to a year. So I thought it would be a fun plane to revisit... until the 5th straight round of being up tiered with the P-51D-5. So Derpy Float Zero it is!
only if it's opposing you, if it's your AA then it's worthless, or at least that's my experience. Whenever I run to my airfield to land my AA doesnt do shit.
You should fly the D3A1 Val Dive bomber. Was derping around with it for a while, and somehow in one match 2 p40s and a p400 died to my 2 puny 7.7s and my superior Juke Moves
I have always had this moment where i crash land or normally land, and i just see this giant bomber 1 kilometer out. And i just scream: AAA, faking do something!!!!!! Aararrafagagarafafgafagagag *dies*
The bit where Moe compared the B-18s descending to land to aircraft circling an airport is even funnier when you remember that the B-18 is quite literally a DC-2 airliner converted into a medium bomber. Anyways, if you're having issues with the A6M2 getting uptiered, fly the clipped-wing A6M3 instead. I can honestly say with confidence that it's probably the best Zero in the game when taking into account performance, maneuverability, and the kind of opposition it faces at its BR. Sure you'll still face the occasional P-51, but the speed difference isn't quite as large and it handles better in a dive than the A6M2, plus you'll still out-turn virtually everything you're likely to face except for the Cannon Chaika, the I-16 Type 27 and 28, the Boomerangs, the captured A6M2, or a very well-flown Firefly Mk.I (and even then only for a moment before his speed drops too low for him to maneuver anymore, which is a shame because turning is the only thing the Firefly Mk.I actually does well, or at least acceptably). The only thing it can't do is catch runners, but that's what the J2M2 is for (and might explain its low BR).
Just flew the A6M2-N in a 2.3-3.3 match, after the usual Japanese sealclubbing the Allies had a single Wellington sitting on his airfield. The remainder of our team (9 of 12) proceeded to dive and 5 of us got shot down before the Wellington finally took enough damage and won us the game. In short: Bring a lot of friends when you want to dive airfields, because they're not equipped with your usual flak, but SAM's; speed doesn't matter.
There was one game where I was in a Ar-2 (I was the only one left) and there were 4 British and American fighters hunting me. Three crashed while strafing ground targets and two were shot down by Stalinium launching AAA around the airfield as they try to shoot me down (I was circling the airfield in my Ar-2 trying to gain altitude).
Just wondering if you ever plan on doing more space engineers sometime in the future. I enjoyed watching you try not to get murdered by Bismark's trigger happy defense system lol
I really want to. I tried to kick off a new video series a couple months ago and it just crumbled. The individuals involved ended up having scheduling conflicts and I was not happy with the early footage we got. Its still on my mind.
Have you ever flown the Me-163? i got it a couple of days ago and played it a lot (I've one video about it). It would be interesting seeing you try it out, by the way it's the best at killing Tu-4s, my way is a headon and kill the pilot, it''s so awesome.
Next week when that patch hits. It has my full attention. Plan on doing at least a couple after that. Until then I have a World of Warships USS Texas video I need to finish tonight and a podcast before next week.
didn't change anything to my previous settings and now it works :) have to admit it's been a year ago last time I tried turning my engine off thanks for the info tho
Hey dumb question but will the kingfisher and the other removed aircraft ever get put back in the game I know the kingfisher sucks but I never got to fly it in battle and I am a military vehicle fanatic
Hey Bo, good work on all the videos. I have a question though. How do you feel about 1.61 and 9.0 tanks, and I'd like to see you play the upcoming M60A1
I play War Thunder and all games for fun. That is the only reason I have been dabbling with the Sheridan lately on streams. I love the M60 but... I would choose to play it in other games other then War Thunder. I am glad you check out the channel for War Thunder but I just wanted to let you know I do not cover every thing added, dev blogs, patches etc. I personally don't have a huge affection with War Thunder Ground Forces and if I went around and made a video on every Tier 5... I would just be mumbling and cursing about half way through the video series.
+Bo Time Gaming That's good to know, and I'm sure I'm talking about almost everyone when I say that we enjoy your videos, keep up the awesome work. And I'm not that bad of a player, would you like to play some?
Actually, float zeroes were fighters. They were built to take off from small islands that might be too small for a runway, but just enough tame waters for a floatplane to use. It was discovered that despite the float, they still retained much of their maneuverability.
I am gonna cover that a bit in the podcast. The A6M2-N was kinda its own thing and not necessarily considered a sub variant of the A6M2. It gets confusing with Japan but I am gonna do my best to explain where this fighter came into the picture.
might sound wierd, but were you sort of sick or something in this bo? if not my bad, i just got back from concert and my ears might still be screwed up. but sounds like nose almost broke or like your mouth is covered.
+ron sasson Personally, I despise the thing in real life. Now that it is in a game. I have no interest in being near it. My family has deep ties with Boeing. (Grandfather worked there for 30 years. Currently have 3 uncles, 1 aunt, and 2 cousins employed there.)
You know what sucks about war thunder, aa just pilot snipes you, atleast give us an explosion, damn gaijin i thought this game was supposed to be realistic
I probably haven't flown the standard A6M2 in close to a year. So I thought it would be a fun plane to revisit... until the 5th straight round of being up tiered with the P-51D-5. So Derpy Float Zero it is!
Great video I'm sure :D thanks for all the content!
How/why do you post some videos so early?
P-51Ds are really easy, especially since they are mostly piloted by typical muricans :p If pilot is good though... game over man
How about some F7F gameplay?
float zero strikes again
If this was an actual war, the marines on the beach would start shooting at Moe and Bo while they were in the water.
Yo we have almost the same profile picture!
Also they would be using hand signals
I'd love to see you guys playing arcade and simulator. That would probably be hilarious.
Eh if you want arcade I'd watch Phly and Baron, but Sim would be interesting. Let's add a carrier landing by Bo or Moe in sim... Go team Moebo? :D
For god's sake the damn AA is ridiculous.
I agree!
only if it's opposing you, if it's your AA then it's worthless, or at least that's my experience. Whenever I run to my airfield to land my AA doesnt do shit.
Chris Peterson Yep. This is true.
I've been shot down by a friendly destroyer before, and I was livid
+Chris Peterson (AngelofDeathDxD) Every time I make it back to the airfield my AAAs always destroy the enemy.
You should fly the D3A1 Val Dive bomber. Was derping around with it for a while, and somehow in one match 2 p40s and a p400 died to my 2 puny 7.7s and my superior Juke Moves
Did you Kamikaze in the end?
2 P-40s and a P-400? I both hate you and bow down to you *l*
I tried, but AAA shot me down before I hit the pby. :(
I have always had this moment where i crash land or normally land, and i just see this giant bomber 1 kilometer out. And i just scream: AAA, faking do something!!!!!! Aararrafagagarafafgafagagag *dies*
Love the communication of you with Mo, as well as the banter. Keep it up
Thanks Hawk
OK So you turned the Float Zero into the HMAS Panic...Those were some big swells..
Hey man, keep up the good work.
You're the best warthunder youtuber out there!
We need the float spitfire
No, the Wildcatfish.

Just for your information Bo, samurai weren't sneaky, they were in huge simplification Japanese knights xD
"Looking like tailspin." That was a prediction.
I cut some american's wing off with my own wing on this plane once. No damage taken. 100% realism gaijin.
Vincent Van der velde glorious Nippon steel, folded 1000 times.
TheDerpening lol
If that was an F4F and below, it IS realistic.
its better than word of tank or war of wings

I remember you saying Cobey and yourself don't play jet games, but id like to hear your take on them, and the br crisis!
An A6M2 day, watches 4 of these in a row
tap the water at about 300km/h to break off the floats then pull up hard
Thanks for the content bo! The podcast help me learn
Bo a veteran with ridiculous strong skill my opinion
Ha deadliest catch! My dad loves that show!
Hey Bo nice video! Keep up the great work. Also no worries about the uploads I understand and I'm sure everyone else does :)
Just wondering if you ever plan on doing more space engineers sometime in the future. I enjoyed watching you try not to get murdered by Bismark's trigger happy defense system lol
I really want to. I tried to kick off a new video series a couple months ago and it just crumbled. The individuals involved ended up having scheduling conflicts and I was not happy with the early footage we got. Its still on my mind.
Wonderful maneuverability but man those things get shredded by AA. lol
Everything does
Do you have an T29? It's awesome. It's like the baby of a Kv-2 and a King-tiger, with the same cannon as the T28 you drove lately...
Hey Bo i just wanted to say i love your content man thanks and keep it up! :)
Bo, you ever think about going back and playing the hurricane MK4 with the 40 mm cannons?
Have you ever flown the Me-163? i got it a couple of days ago and played it a lot (I've one video about it).
It would be interesting seeing you try it out, by the way it's the best at killing Tu-4s, my way is a headon and kill the pilot, it''s so awesome.
" bro I need some more rainbow six siege, you got some? I don't need a lot just a little" lol
Next week when that patch hits. It has my full attention. Plan on doing at least a couple after that. Until then I have a World of Warships USS Texas video I need to finish tonight and a podcast before next week.
+Bo Time Gaming OMG replied... big fan of your work I enjoy all your content and I'll be patient for that siege video
Alfredo Arreola No worries, I reply as much as I possible can. Thanks for watching them.
+Bo Time Gaming just made my day man your awesome going to screen shot this for memories 👌
Alfredo Arreola Its really not a big deal. Leave a comment in the new RS6 videos I will probably respond to them as well.
Even though this is a float zero, the trim rate is still sexy
Last time I land in a float zero I flipped right over the second before I stopped....
lol. to shoot down those b-18s he used the actual tactics which they were designed for
How does Bo turn off his engine in RB, I thought the instructor turns it back on automatically.
Nah it just turn on if you drop or add thrust
bo, where should I post questions for your next Q and A podcast?
stupid question: how did you turn off your prop? I only find the option to turn off the engine but it immediatly restarts
Make sure you instructor settings are correct.
If you turn off your engine while your throttle is still up it will automatically restart. Throttle down to 0 before shutting down.
+PrezPendejo no its the instructor
didn't change anything to my previous settings and now it works :) have to admit it's been a year ago last time I tried turning my engine off
thanks for the info tho
How do you shot so accurately. When I doing a dive like you did I never can get a good shot
A lot of hours in this game.
+Bo Time Gaming lol can I add you in game?
Will a Podcast be done on the XB-70?
alot of rb battles
Hey dumb question but will the kingfisher and the other removed aircraft ever get put back in the game I know the kingfisher sucks but I never got to fly it in battle and I am a military vehicle fanatic
Gotta watch them wave works!
If I was those b-18's, I would be like, where the hell did they come from?
Hey Bo, good work on all the videos. I have a question though. How do you feel about 1.61 and 9.0 tanks, and I'd like to see you play the upcoming M60A1

+Bo Time Gaming That's good to know, and I'm sure I'm talking about almost everyone when I say that we enjoy your videos, keep up the awesome work. And I'm not that bad of a player, would you like to play some?
always wanted to catch you in game Bo, always figured you'd be harder to shoot down. j/k j/k lol
Does the team quality change based on the day of the week? (i.e. on weekends for example)
One of the only reasons I don't play a lot of realistic anymore is because of the bs aaa
Try that Japanese jet. The goofy one that looks like a sleigh
I have one question,if you wanna re-arm or repair, where do you land ?(or how) I mean you have those water landing things
The Float Zero can also land on regular airfields
Ik this is old but you can land beside the carriers but the waves are giant and derpy so you might flip
I got seasick watching your Video.... ;-)
why be ninja when ya can be samurai
Bo, have you thought about making a team, lets say with 4 or 5 guys, when you play World of Warships?
I wonder, if you take off the pontoon, would the plane handle like a regular Zero?
Jan Witkowsky I tried, and not really
Bo, I'm really excited for the 60th fail montage! Any dates? If not that's fine.
Still a ways from it.
+Bo Time Gaming Got it! Excitement will be contained.
How do you turn off your engines in Realistic?
Pressing only restarts it..
Tail Spin.
Which one is Don Karnage?
I might have a replay to your liking. Lemme see what I can do.
hay bo do you play with your fans once in awhile?
ninjas have cloths and are maneuverable and samuri has the armor
and is less manuverable
Fly the dauntless every time I make a turn it just air drifts
Also btw love the vids keep up the great work
what ammo are you using? +bo
Lol the 360p makes it so hard to see enemy planes
Hey Bo! on which servers do you play?
i founded he in USA's server like a year ago
You know you're early when the only option is 360p :(
Lol best thumbnail you should do this more often 10/10
Lol just jk love your vids
now i want to play warthunder with someone
Why can't Gajin add a "report airfield campers" option!? i'm gonna keep report them either way.
A6M2-N is for scout it not for dog fight
if your playing wows then it a great plane great plane
Actually, float zeroes were fighters. They were built to take off from small islands that might be too small for a runway, but just enough tame waters for a floatplane to use. It was discovered that despite the float, they still retained much of their maneuverability.
I find it weird that the floatplane version of the a6m comes before the actual a6m
Well the float plane does host some lesser abilities compared to the regular A6M2, stuff like speed and agility, the core principles of the Zero.
Indeed
I am gonna cover that a bit in the podcast. The A6M2-N was kinda its own thing and not necessarily considered a sub variant of the A6M2. It gets confusing with Japan but I am gonna do my best to explain where this fighter came into the picture.
No you should have flown over an af and broken the pontoons by sliding on the ground and pulling up when they break
how do you turn off your prop when your using mouse simple aiming
cody bug gaming Press I
might sound wierd, but were you sort of sick or something in this bo? if not my bad, i just got back from concert and my ears might still be screwed up. but sounds like nose almost broke or like your mouth is covered.
