What movie or collaboration would you like to see War Thunder do an event based on?
Hot shots
Star wars
I think Star wars would be a cool one but the copyright
Wacky Races, or Aqua Teen Hunger Force!
Id say maybe a star trek/star wars or maybe a civil war themed one with iron sides
You can never escape the grind not even in a limited time mode with no rewards
i genuinely was so disappointed with this years fools event
Eh at least the April fools events I've been around for they have always been grindy for decorations and such and nothing else. Now just worse because it's crafting.
Honestly, the "My Little Pony" event EONS ago was the only one I remember where you could actually make some serious SL & RP!
But what about the cute wasteland girl and loading screen :)
@@ThaisenS Thasien really
Jim being unhinged would do well in a apocalyptic times
Ladies start thinking about if your fella would be a post-apocalyptic warlord
Mad Max II
Narrator: My life fades. The vision dims. All that remains are memories. I remember a time of chaos... ruined dreams... this wasted land. But most of all, I remember The Road Warrior. The man we called "Max." To understand who he was, you have to go back to another time... when the world was powered by the black fuel... and the desert sprouted great cities of pipe and steel. Gone now... swept away. For reasons long forgotten, two mighty warrior tribes went to war, and touched off a blaze which engulfed them all. Without fuel they were nothing. They'd built a house of straw. The thundering machines sputtered and stopped. Their leaders talked and talked and talked. But nothing could stem the avalanche. Their world crumbled. The cities exploded. A whirlwind of looting, a firestorm of fear. Men began to feed on men. On the roads it was a white line nightmare. Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the highways, ready to wage war for a tank of juice. And in this maelstrom of decay, ordinary men were battered and smashed... men like Max... the warrior Max. In the roar of an engine, he lost everything... and became a shell of a man... a burnt-out, desolate man, a man haunted by the demons of his past, a man who wandered out into the wasteland. And it was here, in this blighted place, that he learned to live again.
Jim Pickens: Cult Leader
He's the crazy hermit with explosives, isn't he?
i just imagine jim monologing to himself like this while on the job irl .
He probably does while imagining his fuel truck is the war rig
I really felt that no paperwork from Jim, he's right I can't wait for the apocalypse
hahahhaha IT wAS hILARIOUs and the scale house LOLOLO
@@chakalblond9332 Tear up our swindle sheets leave em on the scales
Spent an hour doing paperwork yesterday, being a post-apocalyptic paramedic would be swell lol
Annnnnd now I'm imagining the ambulance all armoured up, bit plow on the front, maybe a turret on the roof. Actually that'd be great even now for traffic!
Jim should do audiobooks. Love all your videos, but the ones with him add a layer of storytelling and lore that's unmatched.
It's 2024 Bo 🎉
Yea, I straight up copied last years video title and changed... missed the date lol
Jim should be a voice actor
Jim is channeling Reclusiarch Grimaldus...
"I will die on this world"
thats what he reminded me of!
@@admechplayer40k literally the FIRST person that came to mind...
@@r.slaurent437”Nutjob of TBLF” they scream. As if there was only one.
Jim's out here barreling down the interstate in a Peterbilt listening to Bolt Thrower albums- God help us.
Why does jim sounds like a old villain wanting no work 😂
Jim's raving lunacy is what made this worth a watch.
*I'm with you Brother! Truckers Unite! All you have to lose is your log books!*
So they tried to re-create Crossout in WT. lol I guess they do publish both games.
This event might be used as a test for a re-work on how armored cars work in the game. Either that, or dynamic weather.
I was thinking the same thing.
The cars behave the exact same way though?
Tires explode and pop off, traction feels a little better.@@devlintaylor9520
@@devlintaylor9520 i think more like wheels, where when they're broken they fall off and shit
I was thinking vehicle-specific crosshairs. Or, dare I say it: new game mode?
putting the event aside this map would be a great map for top tier tanks
That's what I thought to, I wish they would make big maps with a bunch of different towns to take control of
Amazing that even after the Apocalypse, Bofors still makes a living selling 40 mike-mikes! :D
I just love how every time you're playing together, Jim just gets into character every single time and holds it even through contacts with the enemy. It really makes the whole experience better.
Always love jim's characters
The total deduction to the voice and the bit is truly admirable and hilarious thank you all so much for this
Gotta put a voice recorder in Jim's truck to hear what he says on the road. 😂😂
Always love his voice acting and antics. Great stuff Bo and team.
Botime gaming, my dude. Love the content and funny moments, including epic moments. Keep up the fabulous work.
"I have no idea what I'm doing, I'm just here!"
Bo reveals the truth behind TBLF's entire existence!
100% accurate 😅
I volunteer as a War Boy on Jim's rig when the apocalypse happens. WITNESS ME!!!!
In the opening Jim sounded like someone from 40K.
Yes! Jim is Mad Jim Max
13:02, as a fellow loot goblin I agree
"Should society ever fall, I know a guy with a welder..."
Me too brother, and he knows a damn good thing about mechanics too.
Just wanna share a story that happened ingame, on free-for-all mode:
Sandstorm's rolling in, and I'm in a Porc hauling full cargo down the canyon extraction (northwest) path. Big problem is, there's an unknown rage 5 camper guarding that exit. Was about to approach the canyon when I crest a hill and right in front of me was a Boar, also hauling ass towards extraction! I swiftly skid aside so my side and gun have clear aim, and after a short exchange of bullets the Boar lost their gunners. I was thinking of putting them out of their misery when I spotted the rage 5 in the distance, camping mockingly near the lip of the extraction zone, deepish inside the canyon. A plan formed, purely on instinct. Instead of killing the Boar I just drove past - I was focused on tracking the rage 5 (it was another Boar) and finding an angle of approach that the rager can't see. I didn't know if the wounded Boar knew what I was thinking, but they played their part perfectly: becoming the decoy. They barreled straight towards extraction and distracted the rager just enough that I could swoop in and shoot the rager's gunners out. The wounded Boar drove past the rager and made their exit, while I finished off the rager and made a clean getaway with full rage from the dead Boar.
It was just spontaneous. No communication between any of us, no chats, and just flowed swiftly enough.
Magical stuff, I tells ya.
I love that jim stayed in character for almost the entirety of this lol
Great video Bo!
Could really tell this April fools event wasn’t Bo’s favorite lol
I choked on my beer because of Jim's impression that's definitely a 10/10 voice impression by jim!
Jim is a national treasure. We all love him. Regards, a 40 year old CDL driver.
Jim is channeling his inner Hummungus
Bo: mentions radio shack
Me: gets flashbacks
Jim, you mean to tell me as an Aussie that you couldn't quote any Mad Max?
Toecutter: That there is Cundalini... and Cundalini wants his hand back!
Fifi: They say people don't believe in heroes anymore. Well damn them! You and me, Max, we're gonna give them back their heroes!
Max: Ah, Fif. Do you really expect me to go for that crap?
Fifi: You gotta admit I sounded good there for a minute, huh?
Nightrider: Born with a steering wheel in his hand and lead in his foot. He is the Nightrider cruising at the speed of fright! This is the Nightrider, and we ain't never coming back! I'm a fuel-injected suicide machine! I am a rocker! I am a roller! I am the out-of-controller! I am the Nightrider!
Nightrider: The Toecutter - he knows who I am. I am the Nightrider! I am the chosen one. The mighty hand of vengeance, sent down to strike the unroadworthy! I'm hotter than a rollin' dice. Step right up, chum, and watch the kid lay down a rubber road, right to FREEDOM!
Goose: [describing the supercharged Interceptor that's idling, in particular the supercharger itself] You can shut the gate on this one, Maxie... it's the duck's guts!
Barry, MFP Garage Mechanic: [excitedly] She sucks nitro... with Phase 4 heads! 600 horsepower through the wheels! She's meanness set to music and the bitch is born to run!
Goose: [looking at Max just staring at the engine] He's in a coma, man!
Toady: Greetings from The Humungus! The Lord Humungus! The Warrior of the Wasteland! The Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla!
Dr. Dealgood: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls... Dyin' time's here.
Max Rockatansky: I am the one that runs from both the living and the dead. Hunted by scavengers, haunted by those I could not protect. So I exist in this wasteland, reduced to one instinct: survive.
So, did they just further Mad Max the vehicles that were alread Mad Max AF?
Bygone are two sunrises, since mine eyes didst lay upon a carriage, fit to bear yonder tankard's weight.
Jim is a Gem.
Hearing Jim saying "Brother" keeps making me think of the "Brother I am pinned here!" meme. Lol
Jim is The Rubber Duck
Warthunder truly is a game that you never enjoy, just grind.
jim is in his element
Jim's commentary taught me more about playing this event than the in-game help screen.
Jim always makes my day ❤
I love that Jim was talking like that literally the entire video
Imagina how this game mode makes cross out and war thunder are connected via lore
I've been waiting for this all day. Hell even War Thunder Mobile is having an April Fools event and it's Pony's in the Sky like the 2019 event for console and pc players lol
2:00 I knew you would understand that reference. If you didn’t, I would have been very disappointed in you
All those nukes people keep dropping in matches has really come around and bit us in the ass
Jim would definitly be a good apocalyptic truck driver
No paperwork?! the apocalypse can't come soon enough!
Polite Apocalypse might be second best apocalypse of all time (We all know the Killer Hormones is the best. Nothing beats dying of a crushed pelvis).
Imagine the different gangs for starters. The Gentle Raiders, Plunderers of Fortune, Old Boys Club, The Gentlemen Ride, the May We Take gang, BOSS (Bandits Of Standing Service), The Light Brigade, The Late Brigade, Equestrian Escapaders, TOP HATs (The Organized People, Handling Apocalyptic Tasks), The Bloody Butlers, etc.
From Sweden with Love
- Kami
the worst possible gang in the Polite Apocolyse - The Late Brigade. Constantly showing up to every social event and tribal gathering after it has started.
Man, seeing the massive refinery in the distance on the desert and the sandstorm seriously reminds me of the mad max game
Now theres a reference no one will get, cause no one played it lol. Even tho its a great game :D
14:15 A Monty Python version of Mad Max is kind of what you were thinking of; that would be hilarious.
Sometimes I wonder if Jim is okay then I stop wondering because it sounds like he is having fun.
bo and stickboy are talking normaly while jim is becoming a viking on his villian ark
Id have to agree with my trucker bro not logging hours and not dealing with hours of paperwork sounds heavenly
Now I want Stick to sign on every time with "Hello Bo, my reluctant Padme."
@botimegaming no fair to cut the video there, I also wanted to know Jim's dark art of squeezing water from rocks !!
Great video as always !
jiM is hILARIOUSSSS HHAHAHA THE GOD OF THE MAD LAND IS WITH HIM IN VAHALLA
06:40 "HAVE FAITH IN THE MACHINE GOD!!!"
I know they were aiming for the Furyosa theme.. but they so should have added Snuggles the Worm just to randomly mess people up !
That guy held character the whole game, impressive 😂😂😂
Jim committing to his role is the best part of this😂
Absolutely love Jim makes my day
I feel like there was an opportunity lost not going with Jimmortan Joe in the title.
A future with no DOT, logbooks, and weigh scales?
That ain't the apocalypse, that sounds like heaven for truckers
The radio shack comment was gold
NO SCALEHOUSES! NO HOS! THIS TRUCKER ALSO FOLLOWS MAD JIM!
Jim has been the best part of this event
this event is great! I can't wait to see you unlock the other vehicles!
Be waiting all day for this
Jim would make an excellent commissar
Meanwhile, War Thunder Mobile players having the pony planes as their April Fool’s event:
Nods at the Mad Max / Road Warrior references.
At least in the post apocalyptic future you won’t have to worry about bills of lading or being over 40 tons
This event is absolutely chaotic and fun
its fun the event mode but a hell to grind and you have to deal with the armored cars a lot
i actualy like this event BTW , because the last april fools event i wasnt able to join in before there was 2 hours left and the 2022 event i was too "new to the game" to have fun lol
I'm glad Bo questioned the grinding nonsense
Jim had *too much of the radioactive sand again!*
I was pleasantly surprised, this event was actually one of the best we’ve had
He was sliding into Blackthorn there.
“When the devs make an April fools event that’s almost better than the base game”
This is by far the worst and laziest April fools event.
@@dantekania7212 Yeah, nothing new apart from some really odd, boring mechanics that I pray never make it into the game. They had so much potential with melee combat like Crossout, but they really missed the mark. Not sure I'll even play this one
Terrible grind for terrible rewards, gameplay isnt very fun
When the absolute worst april fools event yet convinces people that it's as good as the main game..... really says a lot about the state of WT.
@@carlwheezerofsouls3273 yep lmao
i would love to see more videos of this event.
A night time video drop, how exciting!! And a first class video!! This is the first time I have watched Jim play a character from beginning to end with no break back to his "normal" self. The man was truly in his element. lol
This event hits different after Gaijin changed their vehicle event cycle.
Imagine the apocalypse happens and you still have to do the paperwork on your truck..
Love the video bo
Yes, different type of vehicles have different exit-points. Not sure if if this is to prevent exit camping - cuz trash players do that regardless - or just to make it difficult, but at the end (when u only have 1.5 min left) all exits points are open! And the upgrade system is like in WOT (AKA u get a similar yet different version of said vehicle).
So after this u can play "Crossout" with a few months of experience worth...
great vid bo
I personally like this event because, lm doing it just for fun I don’t care for the rewards. It’s really fun for me! Plus the vehicles being upgradable and getting new weapons is really cool and I like a lot. So, for now every April fools event I’ve played for War Thunder has been cool and fun for me!
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS AS SOON AS I SAW THE TRAILER! So stoked...
This is actually a pretty fun event. You should also sell Jim to Gaijin to do voice overs
i would love to see jim playing ATS(American truck sim) multiplayer just simulating his real life
WITNESS ME!!!!!
Shiny and chrome!
Mad Jim: Thundered Fury
"How to squeeze what out of a rock" 😂
As a truckie here in Australia i can completely relate to jim 😂😂😂😂😂
