Just imagine if this were irl, hitler just hears that a ton of tanks were encircled and destroyed at a time where those were the reason why they were winning
@Yeast Yeast yeah, idk who was on the USSR or the one specifically micro'ing on that front but sometimes getting encircled is unavoidable, especially with heavy tanks
I love when Bo is on the Axis and loses- but it's a close loss. So many times in MP the Germany player just quits, but he fights it to the last man- and it's much more entertaining (and sportsmanlike)
@@Bokoen1 I totally agree. Sometimes a heroic defeat is cooler than a heroic victory. My favorite example was the video with the Sturmtigers and you had the Soviets on the run- but had to pull back to the river while Swimmy is just in denial about the whole thing. They're the best!
Bo: things are looking god Braun: loses army group center, entire panzer corps in kursk Axis: *distressed murmurs* Bo: we shouldve developed the maus instead of the fuckin night vision goggles Axis: *general outrage*

The hero of Germany (rommel) proceeds to Destroy all chances of German victory by losing the entire tank Corp In the east....He truly is an armor expert 😅
This video was a rollercoaster and a half and why I like your HoI4 MP games more than other UA-camrs. The meta gets tiring to see over and over, and you actually Endsieg unlike most Germany players.
@@oldpersonmc18yearold46 Depends what speed you play at and, to be honest, not really. Provided your army is well managed from the start, all you really have to micro are the tanks. Just don't make any aggressive encirclements if you're under too much pressure, and know when to switch to AI controlled frontlines on the fly to prevent your tanks getting surrounded when you're busy with something else. Never leave your tanks clumped up like that, AI isn't good, but they'll at least react to the enemy. I've honestly dealt with much worse micromanagement in a number of modded multiplayer games with shit like river crossings, more impassable terrain and naval invasions. Oh and doing those stupid wars where you have significantly less infantry than what's necessary to man a front. A simple two sided front isn't exactly that hard to micro, and hoi4 requires far less APM than non-grandstrategy RTS'. So it really isn't humanly possible, and I'd say the main reason why they don't do it here is because it'd probably be really fucking difficult to make entertaining commentary while doing it.
@@pagatryx5451 you have never played skilled players before and it shows. tanks attached to a battleplan will be killed in the time it takes you to pan from one front to another. if you want to see what i’m talking about look at the vods from the “international” tournament. those players were the best of the best, but the disparity between that and your “average” comp player isn’t that big. even bo and friends are good enough to do that.
@@oldpersonmc18yearold46 There's obviously a difference between pro players and normal players. But I have played against skilled players, being a part of many comp discords. I think you're the one who doesn't know what they're talking about considering you seem to think Hoi4 has a higher average APM in comparison to something like Star Craft... You should be able to easily flick between multiple task forces in seconds. If you're sticking to a front long enough for multiple land tiles to have been taken, you're either playing at 4 or 5 speed or suck. And no, Bo and his friends aren't amazing. A few of them including Bo are quite good, but that's about it. They are really lacking in the micromanagement department and typically make a lot of noobie mistakes because they're just having fun. This is a highlights video, not a full playthrough...
@@pagatryx5451 do tell! would you mind naming some of the discords you’re on? and if they’re “comp” then why would you worry about shitty coops? i never said hoi4 requires more apm than starcraft or other similar games. but that doesn’t mean it still doesn’t require a lot, and what’s more important is that it scales based on how many opponents you’re facing. if they have, say, 3 people (USA-France-Soviets, I’ll assume you don’t usually have Sov coops either) then you’ll have 3x as many actions to keep up with. but seriously, you already proved your skill level when you said you put your tanks on an AI frontline while microing the other front. i’m talking speed 3 and maybe 2 here btw
And here I thought the master of armoured warfare was going to make a late build of HEAVY tanks work. Guess the meta gods have no patience with that level of larp.
Could swear this type of strategy would have Golden or even Swimmy at it's helm but seems like Bo wants to try new stuff, like that type with England where he tried new doctrines and rushed air or something
Heavy tanks really can pay themselfs off sometimes, I used em once and had 4 fully equipped 40 width heavy tank divisions ready for the allies and I killed em in 1939 when the war started
I am all for the sponsor after all being a youtuber is a full time job in most of the cases but... 18% of the video is just plain ads. From 1:52 to 3:30 and the again from 10:32 to the end of the video, that 2 min of ads in a 11 minute video, almost a fith of the video is an ad. Idk man feels too much adtime to me.

“Braun you have to micro the eastern front”
Immediately loses all heavy tanks
Braun reverted by like 200 episodes there.
id be so mad ; ((((
@@Vee_9001 No. He was being honest that it was his mistake at the end. So he only reverted like 50 episodes. 200 episodes he ago, he would have been delusional.

@@OlafJorigson Well... he was a bit delusional at first, deflecting with "It's Spains fault", so lets say like 80 episodes.
"it relied on Germany not losing any of it's tank divisions"
Sometimes foreshadowing is subtle, sometimes it is not
Fucking Kursk in 1943 too.
It was about as subtle as a jet engine in a library.
The real question was when it was going to happen…
'The literary device called foreshadowing is used to convey an imminent event to the viewer without saying it outright'
Braun trying to keep Bo from building the Maus is like a mother trying to pull her child away from that really expensive Lego Death Star he wants.
I love how they flipped their roles
Idk how Bo didn't see that coming. Happens every time he lets Braun handle his tanks.
ik, I was actually disappointed in Braun like a disappointed dad after tht one
Literally 5 in game days. Not even five minutes of real time.
"Okay Braun, you're in charge of the Eastern Front. Don't fuck up."
5 seconds later
"All seven tanks are encircled."
200,000 German tanks are destroyed with a million more well on the way.
Just imagine if this were irl, hitler just hears that a ton of tanks were encircled and destroyed at a time where those were the reason why they were winning
"do you wanna go kursk in 43?
do you wanna larp?"
_procedes to lose entire armored core_
Corps*
Sorry, when I saw Armored Core, I ended up thinking of the Mecha game lol.
Historical RP
@@mercenarygundam1487 'Prepare for titan fall'
Went for Kursk, got Bagration.
great character development on bruan for admitting he fucked up honestly
It’s weird remembering the early videos with Braun and his screeching.
I was genuinely impressed when i heard that!
It's really weird seeing Braun being competent even sometimes. I remember when cho-king was the best second to Bo.
Well he blamed spain
It's scripted
I love how we got 2 hoi4 vids in 2 days
Exactly, boe is popping off
Poggers
Sponsorships doing wonders
That December ad money hits different
"A blessing! A blessing from the Dane!"
I like how as soon as Bo gave Braun full control on the Eastern front he lost everything
Most unfortunate with the security breach on Kampfgruppe Centre
@Yeast Yeast yeah, idk who was on the USSR or the one specifically micro'ing on that front but sometimes getting encircled is unavoidable, especially with heavy tanks
I love when Bo is on the Axis and loses- but it's a close loss. So many times in MP the Germany player just quits, but he fights it to the last man- and it's much more entertaining (and sportsmanlike)
I honestly think that fighting a slow losing battle is more fun than a fast win! There's just something about fighting to the end and larping haha
The best videos for me is when bo is on the losing side (and even better If he is playing a minor) so much energy and entertainment it's the best
@@Bokoen1 I totally agree. Sometimes a heroic defeat is cooler than a heroic victory. My favorite example was the video with the Sturmtigers and you had the Soviets on the run- but had to pull back to the river while Swimmy is just in denial about the whole thing. They're the best!
How often does the axis win in this mod?
i remember when Bo&co. was left with trucking through Switzerland and France just to stay alive.
That was a blast
“Is it that bad? Oh, it is that bad... ...”
famous words to be marked
Bo is reading the rise of kingdom script like a hostage letter... Rise of kingdom CEO behind the camera with a gun
Nah, it's just Alec Baldwin
Rise of kingdoms is a menace on humanity, proof of the end times.
Y'all remember the ace combat zero max0r vid, that pixy's behind the inteviewer with a glock, literally that.
Like when he actually wants to do a sponsorship you can hear it in his voice. Bo did… not want to do this one and it is not hard to tell.
Except the gun is money
Bo: you have control of the east?
Braun: yeah yeah
Braun: the entire armoured corps is now encircled
That Braun flat out admitted it means he has more balls than most will ever have.
Bo: whatchu got there USSR
USSR: a smoothie
Meanwhile next to him he has his tanks encircled after only seconds of him putting braun in charge of them
Bo: things are looking god
Braun: loses army group center, entire panzer corps in kursk
Axis: *distressed murmurs*
Bo: we shouldve developed the maus instead of the fuckin night vision goggles
Axis: *general outrage*
Wait, Was that the guy who handled your tanks the same one who also put 10 million Chinese people into Siam?
Yeah
The Bangkok square incident you mean?
@@TheRedKing247 the death march to phuket
Braun after getting encircled 7 tanks and losing the game:
- Oh no!!
- anyway
Those games take hours. HOURS.
And yet somehow the Allies got pushed out of France even with a successful D-Day.
Holy shit the throwback to Braun talking about click. That is a certified bo classic.
I sure do love to enjoy Rise of Kingdoms on my phone while riding the train from Siberia to the eastern front.
Bo’s ultra larping as Germany rn.
Orders the festung cities
Orders the destruction of Paris
Commits to impractical, overpriced heavies
Builds the Maus as his nation implodes
Did he Hitler actually destroy Paris IRL? He did a shit job if he did 'cuz he missed the big iron triangle tower is still there.
@@nicholasbaca8065 General Choltitz was ordered to destroy Paris by Himmler, with promise of extra martial and men to carry out the job, with even two railway guns being put in route for Paris.
Choltitz ordered the placing of explosive on several important junction and historical buildings, but was unable to get the promised men and martial in time before the allied was already on the edge of Paris.
Hitler would himself order Paris destroyed in writing(one of the most discrimiting pieces of edivence we have against Hitler)
Two days before the city would be liberated.
Choltitz surrendered Paris without a fight to the free french forces, even thought his men had been fighting in the street against the french resistant leading up to the liberation.
Choltitz, would go on to defend himself that he willingly disobeyed Hitler order, because he believed Hitler had turned mad. A thing that earned him the nickname, the savior of Paris. Even i find it more likely he just didn't get the means to do so in time, this is after all a man that at least partly gave the order to the Rotterdam bombing, and who already had started to plant explosive in city.

@@lordcthulhu8472 that's pretty interesting, thanks dude.
Classic bokoen edit- things look up when he pushes back dday and caps demark. Next frame: totally losing
Creating a tiny amount of *irreplaceable* divisions for a game without pause(well, it's MP after all). I wonder _what could go wrong with that idea?_
"It relied on Germany not losing any of its tank divisions" knew it was going to be good
Germany: *Going straight for the Maus.*
The rest of the Axis: "So you have chosen, death?".
i always appreciate how bo usually plays til his side collapses 100%, doesn't bitch out after one bad encirclement
The neverending bad habit of stacking all the tanks in one province for no reason bites them in the ass yet again
The final moments in this match were pure larp and rp
You maneged to simulate Hitler perfectly congrats
Imagine building pure heavies. Couldn't be me.
I build light tanks because cheap theyre cheap andnfast
Holy shit 2 hoi4 videos in one week? I must be dreaming
The hero of Germany (rommel) proceeds to Destroy all chances of German victory by losing the entire tank Corp In the east....He truly is an armor expert 😅
bo slowly points the pistol to his head as braun gets the entire east prussian front encircled
Braun - professional thrower
I love the character development, they're so much more organised and less screaming at eachothers, pretty cool not gonna lie
Ah yes... I too remember when the soviet reinforcements from the east played rise of kingdoms on the siberian railway.
Good times...
"Do not give your tanks to Braun." - Sun Tzu, The Art of the Deal
Braun once again trying for a new world record for how fast can you collapse the Eastern Front!
Kind of sad that you lost the game when Braun lost those 6 heavy tanks divisions, you guys were doing great.
i already know bo is gonna be germany in this video cause it is about good tanks
This video was a rollercoaster and a half and why I like your HoI4 MP games more than other UA-camrs. The meta gets tiring to see over and over, and you actually Endsieg unlike most Germany players.
Nothing makes me happier than these videos man, I love how much fun you have even when you're losing
wait, did braun admit his mistake?
Our boy is growing!
For bo losing the war in a single move, he was pretty chill, I'll have to watch the VOD to see how the micro was
I just realized that it was more fun with before the dlc
That tank throw is why I refuse to play coop. I'd rather micromanage everything and lose than see my precious tanks entirely encircled.
against a decent ussr that means you just die the second they land tanks on d day. it's humanly impossible to micro both those fronts at once.

Bokoen left Braun alone for 5 minutes and the war was already lost.
And here I thought the master of armoured warfare was going to make a late build of HEAVY tanks work. Guess the meta gods have no patience with that level of larp.
"This was a very expensive build, so it relied on Germany not losing any of its tank divisions"
Ah, I see where this is going
I think we can all agree if you gave Steiner a half built Maus his counter attack at Munich would’ve won the war
"Let me just say, from the bottom of my heart... my bad." - Braun, circa 2021
Almost thought we had Dankus micro'ing the tanks given they got encircled
Munich: _Has its name clearly labelled_
Bo: Ah yes, das ist Berlin
These games that just swing dramatically back and forth are always the most fun to watch

The editing is on point with at one point the Axis owning most of all Europe to just half of it to none of it
i think blast is bo’s new favorite word
Can’t wait for tomorrow’s stream! :)
yea but we all know that bo hasn't even looked at whats in store for him in rise of kingdoms and just reading a script at gunpoint
0:57 Funny thing. It was actually Hitler who scrapped the Maus project and Speer who tried to revive it.
I thought it said hoi3
I despaired in those few seconds.
two videos extremely close together?! wow bo has really fixed his life
Germany? Heavy Tank only? Are you sure you're not Dankus?
this kind of desperate defense really is my favorite type of video
Honestly, best part of these games are y'all having fun even while you are are losing.

At least you fought till the very end! True German spirit! =D
When Bo said 'You have the Eastern Front right?' We all heard this song and dance before. It was clear where it was headed.
"Are you currently also in a train journey across Siberia?"
cue deportation sounds
Now that was a good game there, so close but those tanks were definitely key.
That video reminded me of the old videos. No cringe river hold, proper battles.
"I hope you burned my body with the last of your fuel in those amtracks." now that's historical role play.
"I hope you burned my body with the fuel in your amtraks Jake. It's what I would have wanted." lmao
Bo, jokes on you, you tried to play the algorithm by putting the ad in the middle, but all of us skipped through it anyways 😌😎

mmm i sure do love a sponsor in the middle of the video completely killing the flow of everything
These tight battles are really entertaining.
Back to back Hoi4 mp videos ! POG, Thanks BO
So this was like WW2-Germany is dominant, loses a lot of troops on the eastern front in an encirclement (Stalingrad) and then loses the war
All you have to do is kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will collapse lmao
War crimes in 3...2...1...: 8:35
Bo is too good to us, giving us hoi4 two days in a row
Bo uploaded, it's a good day now
Classic bokoen1 video, at first axis has everything, and then they lose
Day gets better every time I see a new Bo video up
it's incredible how one mistake costs everything in this game...
Dejavu on losing those tanks, I feel like thats happened to that specific person a few times in the east
Loving the Braun character arc
U know ur exited when a new bokoen vid comes out
Okay, bit more of checking the wider front might help next time Bo & Braun play together next time.
