Just know that, so you can sleep better at night, record like 4 matches and, if they are all bad, doesn't matter to us because if the games are bad then we get a little self-esteem boost knowing that, not all the games are good, even for someone with 11k hrs in wt. 2nd thing is that this is a "fan looking at the celebrity and wondering why they can't be that good and why they always loose" / "as the celebrity I have to make myself look the best I can so people don't think I'm a loser and stop looking up to me (watching your vids)" situation. So you dont have to only put your good games, you -can- *should* put some bad games in too because it becomes a win-win. Hope you doin good!
I really don't understand the pressure you youtubers set on yourself. We don't watch you to see you get high kill games. We watch you because we love watching you have fun. I have said the same thing to Turny , Justin and other WT players. Play for fun and not trying to be the best. We don't care if you spawn in and die instantly. This happens to us aswell. Noone benefits from our favorite UA-camrs getting burnt out.
I used to watch a dude named "Orygin" he used to get so MAD at the game. Kind of made me sad. Part of why I stopped playing. I don't wanna be angry all the time either.
Exactly, not a WT streamer but a WoT streamer who had this realisation a while ago too. Iyouxin, is so much more entertaining when he's fucking around in random games that when he's getting 10-12 kills and tryharding. Same goes for you bawz
I still enjoy watching WT content but find the game horrendously bad. Literally like 70% of my games are full uptiers and it's absolutely not fun playing 300 games getting almost no experience because your team folds immediately and your vehicle has no upgrades lol.
@@mustangmckraken1150 It's pretty frustrating but once you learn to not care about uptiers and to stop relying on your team It starts being a bit more fun. All in all, once you start getting mad It really is better to just quit, works for any game really.
@@pdr_2703 the things that really boil my blood are the issues with maps Too many too list but one fav of mine is when the matchmaker goes ``oh you played (smallest shrunken version) of Ardennes 4 times in a row? Here`s 2 more matches on that very same map but WINTER!!``
@@mustangmckraken1150 Matchmaking is one of the weak points of the game, the other team can be overwhelmingly superior or inferior leading to a one side match. But when it works, oh boy, one of my favorite online games.
As someone who's stopped playing WarThunder (oh how my mental health has improved!), all I can say is that we don't watch your videos fore massive kill-streaks or anything like that. We watch them because we enjoy you and your personality.
I didn't play for 2 years until a few weeks ago and had to stop again due to it really not being good for my mental health. I had other issues at the time like depression but WT really wasn't helping at times. I currently have it uninstalled on my computer (still have my account though) because I could feel myself slipping into it becoming almost like a job again rather than a pastime. I will play it again soon but its always good to step away and have a break from it.
i'm the exact opposite of you, i started playing and grinding again because my mental health got worse. it does help in a way but def not enough, it just helps me kept my mind off of things i don't wanna think about or deal about for the time being.
Honestly this is the best way bawz, for 2 reasons. 1. Less pressure on yourself to get that god game. 2. Shows what the vehicle is actually like, and gives a actually decent view of what the vehicle is capable of on average
Wish the snail would balance their games better so that they could be fun instead of infuriating. Which they totally have the potential to be amazing games! But the design is stressful and toxic in a bad way.
Always remember that the super good youtuber going "NOOOOOOO" after a big screwup/totally unfair death out of nowhere is both very entertaining and pretty cathartic to viewers who are also WT players - after all, that's what our games tend to be like :D
@@lapantonyI don’t think that’s the case, or perhaps you’re comparing to the post-war ones that country like Poland made with the slight bump in the turret which kinda makes it look a bit fatter i suppose
@@inkycat7167 I compare it to the Chinese T-34-85 preceding the Gai in the tech tree, as well as the premium one, who both seem to have a proportionally wider turret than the Gai. I don't have the Russian ones so can't compare with those
The most entertaining content is watching someone having fun. We don't care what is happening, we don't care if you loose/win, all that matters is you having fun.
Will just say Oddbawz, I personally watch your videos because you're a friendly and fun content creator. obviously, I watch for WT too, but mainly my first point. There's a lot of trouble in WT and your fan base/community understand this - The main part about you even creating videos should be for you to have fun and share your fun - dont ever forget that! We would watch you troll people in a rubbish SPAA at 3.0 and still enjoy the video because we watch for you and your content. Thanks for being a fun creator, and look after yourself
I can only speak for myself, Bawz, but I don't want to be shown a curated compilation of 'good games' from you, I want to see *YOU* play War Thunder, get through the matches you're given, and MAKE things fun, as you always do
Love your channel bawz, I know how the struggle of content creation can feel and the paralysis by analysis created by having too large of a backlog to go through. We all know you work very hard around life to bring us exciting videos (Even when the snail cannot be described as doing the same to bring players new content) and we appreciate all that you have to offer. Don't ever feel afraid to give us updates on how the videos are coming along or if you're facing challenges outside of War Thunder and need to step away for a bit. Most of all, have fun in everything you do, as long as you stay true to yourself we will all love what you have to bring to youtube and online.
Don't worry Bawz. Don't be too harsh on yourself with the clips. You always give us a good time dispite doing bad. Just enjoy yourself. Being a youtuber can be Hard on your head sometimes but we're here for a reason. To support you. Much love Oddbawz.
As many people already said, we watch you guys because of the fun experience and for me personally also the game facts you all provide. Fun for the win
Bawz I watch your videos for your commentary, humor and shenanigans. Your best videos are the ones where your enthusiasm comes through. We know you're a great player and you don't always have to be the best. This game can drive all of us crazy.
Just some words of kindness from me as well Odd. I would most likely watch you go on a hike somewhere, chatting about life in the video and still very much enjoy your content and you as a personality. In the same way I guess you used to watch Phly to lighten up your mood every morning, I find I come here mostly because I love your accent and cheerfulness. While I guess you being good at the game is also part of it, your car channel for example was also something that I found very engaging for example. Like I think youve realised and others have very much pointed out as well: Its you enjoying yourself that makes your videos fun to watch, not necessarily how much success you have doing the thing youre doing. Best wishes from Germany xx
Odd - I came to your channel to watch War Thunder, which I rarely play. I stayed and watch every video (many multiple times) because of YOU. Thank you for being who you are and the entertainment you bring!
Man i love watching your videos not for the nukes and the kills " even though i think that you have the best combat stratagem and behavior" but i love you videos because you got the most chill and fun reactions with a real genuine touch Thanks for your videos, good luck and god bless you
the best and most enjoyable videos you've shared are the ones where you're having a legitimately good time. playing a vehicle you enjoy doing absurd derpy nonesense best and most sick heckers videos are not something you ought to stress about. The crowd that follows you, follows YOU. YOU are why we keep coming back :) Cheers for the upload and the effort.
I love this T-34-85, the dshk (at least I think it is) is just so much fun 🥰 Also Oddz, we love all the videos you put out, whatever they are! Me and I’m sure the community all agrees. As long as you are happy we are happy 😊
Hey Odd - not sure if this helps - but the best videos you've done (my 2c) are the ones where you're laughing and having a good time, game be damned. Have fun, play with friends, and we'll laugh along side. Thanks for putting stuff out. (Not that this matters - but I don't even own or play the game. I purely got into it because of CC's like you, Spookston, etc.
Just piling on the support, we enjoy the hell out of watching you for you. It's kinda refreshing to know you wt youtubers who are so good, have bad games too like all of us. The snail claims everyone's sanity 😂. Keep it up 🙏
I don't comment much, but I do watch you pretty religiously, and I've learned a ton even from your worst games. Please just go with what keeps your mental/physical state the best, you'll entertain us anyways!
Thank you for sharing this with us. Your videos will be amazing no matter how you perform, I'm here for you personality and commentary (and a tiny bit for the vehicle)
OddBawZ coming in with humbling himself. That is the best thing a person can do! Keep your head up man. I’m clicking the video and watching it no matter what you upload it brings enjoyment regardless!
Good stuff, man. Something I'm finding in life is that as someone who has a lot of mental blocks about getting stuff done, removing as many hurdles between where you are and where you want to be is super helpful. So I can fully appreciate just going back to showing whatever may happen in the first few matches in order to get videos out more efficiently. I'll keep watching either way! You're one of the people that inspired me to even start playing this game. And after 1300 hours I'm not sure if I should actually thank you for that hahaha JK, man, you're the best! 🥳
just show what u got my man new players respect u because u get some pretty nice games and you say what you think, and players like me that have been playing for a long time respect you becuase even if it is not a 15 or 20 kill game, we can see in all the details of how you play you are good. even we learn from you every video, we all love you bawz
It's nice seeing youtubers playing the game and showing us the not so great games you all have. It reminds the rest of us that some youtubers aren't these untouchable gods that the enemy can't win against. I have run into youtubers a few times in game and when I see them on the enemy team I just instinctively go "yea we've already lost". It's no fun seeing certain players, youtubers or not, and just feeling that the match is a waste of time. Plus, it's nice to see you enjoying yourself playing, not wearing yourself down sweating for those 20 kill games.
As a bunch of have said we love watching you for your hilarious commentary and game play anyone that expects perfect games every upload doesnt understand life isnt perfect so how can a game always be perfect
I appreciate all the work you put into the videos, but I'm mostly here for you and your energetic commentary. I always feel good after watching your content, just keep being you. :)
Man Bawz, I have no idea how you can see people moving in this game, you pick up shit I can't even see, like a lot of the times you kill guys I couldn't see when you zoomed in on them, it's insane how good your eyes are at picking out tanks in this game. Love your vids and always the highlight of my day when a new one drops, thanks brother!
I thought I was the only one who gets mad the more I play I think that as the initial dopamine level decreases, it's easier to get frustrated. But I find it hard to stop playing when I have several bad games, something inside me says "play another match, maybe this is the good one, I need a victory to leave in peace" I'll be more aware of this in the future and stop earlier. Thank you for talking about it, Mr. Bawz!! Love your videos!
hey odd i've been following you for i think 4 years now i love your content your personality hits me well regardless of the how good your games are just like dollar play with his nonsense your a bit more serious and spookston is sarcastic id love to see you three get together oh lord id cry if you all did a video each of your game play XD i just like your content play how i do for fun regardless of how dumb it gets ill probably laugh at it but who wouldn't from the monitor they are watching this from anyways stay healthy Odd and keep making the content you love and want to put well always be here for you 😸
honestly, im glad to hear its not just me that can find the game and alot of the times my teammates being oblivious frustrating. makes me feel more human to hear its frustrating for you sometimes aswell.
I want to see your games 'warts and all'. Long time player but I still learn things watching you. I generally walk away barely believe how good a player you are. Keep up the great work! ❤😊
Whether you have good games or not, I really love your energy, you make us all happy and laugh, to me these are the most important things so please don't put too much pressure on yourself, I know you don't want to dissapoint us but we do appreciate what you do and it doesn't matter if sometimes it doesn't go too well! ❤
Hi Odd, I usually watch your videos because of how nice you are, I understand the concern of wanting to make mind blowing videos but the truth is that kind of mentality usually wears content creators down, I follow youtubers who stopped making videos because of how stressful it was for them to have a perfect quality standard and that's really sad. I don't miss a single one of your videos, I have a really good time, especially because it helps me practice my English. People who join the channel will realize that you are very good at the game, so you better try to enjoy the games and the community, we'll be here :)
Hello Jamie I understand, and appreciate whatever content you choose, you don't owe us and apology and we all care you're happy. So whatever you must do to achieve that, we will support. Love you dude.
Don't stress yourself out too much! I'd watch your videos even if you died within the first 2 minutes every match, I watch for your personality and sense of humor, the gameplay is just an extra bonus.
We appreciate and understand the vibe, Odd. Even for those of us who aren't making content, it's easy to get into a feeling of having to get that "great" game to be satisfied, even at the expense of enjoying it. FWIW I, and I'm sure others, really enjoy the more casual sort of gameplay, even if it's not the most thrilling. There's countless War Thunder CCs out there to watch. We're here because we enjoy watching you play! The more, the better. Especially if that comes with less frustrated (and hopefully happier) Odd at the helm! And hell, if nothing else, that "first however many games" sort of thing probably gives folks a better idea of what to expect from most tanks anyway, so it's not like you're less informative that way.
Odd, you are an amazing person. You make people laugh, A LOT, you put dedication into your videos unlike any others. You have 275 thousand people as your subscribers, never give up dude.
In the spirit of honesty I watch your videos for your manic laughter and fun challenge videos like the 10 second bomb fuse and The David Fletcher worst tank series
id still watch your videos even if you didn’t upload warthunder i’m watching simply for you personality, humour and most importantly that iconic accent haha always good to see your videos regardless ❤
bawz, every game is exiting when you are the one driving the tank and giving us the beloved commentary! and, 13, 13, 20 and 10. are PERFECT games dude, dont be hard on yourself
Odd, you could go 0 kills 1 assist and 3 deaths somehow and I'd still watch it because I just dig your personality and content in general. Love you man
You're defo a king player, and i have a long way to go, but it was good to see the list of games you played as it made me feel a tiny bit better about myself. Still you're king and I'm a peasant with much to learn, seems we're both human after all.
It's great to see that you have "Those matches" just like everybody else Odd. Keep your fun in the game...I've found myself enjoying it a lot since I just gave up trying to be 'super-good' at this game. I'm truly addicted and have been for almost a full decade. I'm still having fun even though my stats are in the dirt. I'm just not that good and I'm just fine with it.
Not everything can be the cream of the crop perfect. We love your videos for you, not for the 20 kill games. Being happy and enjoying the game makes the videos much better for both you and us!
honestly seeing youtubers have games that are 1 kill deaths and rage quit is always refreshing because it lets us know it happens to everyone and we're not just cursed
I originally liked your channel because while I assumed you were way better then me (I've only got 4500 hours), that you still had some terrible games like I do. It felt more real and honest that you dealt with the same sometimes terrible matches in WT. I'm glad to hear you're going back to that.
Yo OddBawZ, Glad you are going back to the old style of "play some games and upload", instead of trying to get that perfect game. My favourite breakfast radio is returning ^^
Yes this is what I want, we love you for you and your personality. As an American I don’t even like watching Phly not due to his content or his personally I just like your videos better. And you’re right I learned what I know to get me going in this game from you Odd. Don’t stress yourself bro, we will enjoy what you put out and the others who leave just never be liked you for you in the first place, just you stomping - and you’re great at it. Regardless, ALWAYS do why you set out to do - be infotainment - that’s why I started watching you is because you are funny and entertaining but HIGHLY knowledgeable about everything you do - it’s made me a better player for it. Godspeed Odd keep doing what you do!!
its actually really nice to know that you aren't immortal. bit of my bad for comparing myself, but im glad to know that you also have really bad games. keep up all the amazing work, i usually watch you for your vibes and not the gameplay
As a new player I appreciate learning from mistakes. I'd rather watch a rough match with mistakes than a perfect match with a nuke every round. It also helps me learn when you mention what not to do and such.
like always, this was just an awesome video. already the first game with the tense fight in front of the enemy spawn was pure gold to watch! i really dont get why anyone would comment in such ways other then to promote their ego or that they have no actual idea of the gameplay... and for my part, i didnt came here for a one in a million insane soloplay, but for the skill you provide - when you tell why and how u approach a situation i sometimes get it, but most of the times im just stumbled how the fights turn out. probably same as ur enemies xD and that basically what makes it very entertaining... imo dont let this stuff get to you, enjoy all the positivity instead :)
As a long-time player, I love seeing youtubers just playing. While it's okay to seek perfection, not having the perfect video is just as good, and I feel that applies to more people in the audience. It also helps when you don't feel pressure to get the best games in it, and I've definitely felt it even with more casual play myself. On another note, this thing is pretty good, even in an uptier. I did manage to squeak a nuke out with it, but it's definitely not the best vehicle to go for a perfect game in a video like this.
I really want a compilation video of a lot of these games that are bad. There’s something to learn from bad games and it also shows that it’s normal to have bad games when you overplay and get frustrated.
I quit War Thunder a few years ago, for much the same reason. I'd just unconsciously get overcompetitive and *very angy* at it, and I hated it, and I hated getting that angy *in general*. Wasn't worth it, so finally quit. Still watch you, Phly, Spook, an' Bo (plus some of Dolla sometimes), 'cause the personality and humour you all bring to your vids, along with a side of "I am reminded once again, why I quit WT" now and then 😂 Just... do watcha enjoy, Odd. Watchin ya havin fun's why we like watchin 💖
I recently introduced you to a mate of mine. The first and only comment he made was that you were a fun scottish guy having fun. Made him want to play warthunder after having denied me for months.
I try my very hardest to find out what you do to do so well, I know it’s not going to just be one tiny thing but still, I don’t know how you’re so good
yeah,today i was at work and saw that u had a new upload and i was hellyeah,listen man,i love to watch your videos,i learned a lot by watching,and lots of fun too please keep uploading,and if you can,answer me and share the graphics settings youre playing on,resolution etc i think more people want to know too cheers
In that last match, when you couldn't shoot through that window, I have noticed at some point that Gaijin made some changes to lightly constructed buildings that shells used to easily go through (like the houses in the Japan map) to make it so they stopped shells. When they did that, it also screwed up the hit boxes on some buildings that had walls that would stop shells, but had open windows that you could shoot through.

Could you make a video on the Bhishma please? Love you OddBawZ!
could you play the kv - 85 its really good for its BR
Just know that, so you can sleep better at night, record like 4 matches and, if they are all bad, doesn't matter to us because if the games are bad then we get a little self-esteem boost knowing that, not all the games are good, even for someone with 11k hrs in wt. 2nd thing is that this is a "fan looking at the celebrity and wondering why they can't be that good and why they always loose" / "as the celebrity I have to make myself look the best I can so people don't think I'm a loser and stop looking up to me (watching your vids)" situation. So you dont have to only put your good games, you -can- *should* put some bad games in too because it becomes a win-win. Hope you doin good!
To say there are a lot of players, that are better than you at this game is a bit of a stretch, but fair.
Remember mister Bawz, we love you for your personality. Not for if you get a slaughterhouse 15 kill game or not.
true that, i'm fine with no kills, just keep being yourself.
thats absolutely right
Bro is a real one

I’ll go watch BPA John if I want to see someone crush a team. I’ll watch oddbaws if I want to laugh and be entertained.
I really don't understand the pressure you youtubers set on yourself. We don't watch you to see you get high kill games. We watch you because we love watching you have fun.

Very true. My laptop cant run Warthunder so i just keep watching people having fun play it online. If they don't have fun so do i who watch it
Getting spawn killed is probably a more authentic portrayal of the game lol.
People play Warthunder for fun? 😂
Angry and rage then making yourself worse with that anger, boy if that doesn't describe the war thunder experience I don't know what does.

the best and most enjoyable videos you've shared are the ones where you're having a legitimately good time.
playing a vehicle you enjoy
doing absurd derpy nonesense
best and most sick heckers videos are not something you ought to stress about. The crowd that follows you, follows YOU.
YOU are why we keep coming back :)
Cheers for the upload and the effort.
I love this T-34-85, the dshk (at least I think it is) is just so much fun 🥰
Also Oddz, we love all the videos you put out, whatever they are! Me and I’m sure the community all agrees. As long as you are happy we are happy 😊
Been watching for your personality and funny banter. Don't put so much pressure on getting the perfect games. Keep up the amazing work 👏
Hey Odd - not sure if this helps - but the best videos you've done (my 2c) are the ones where you're laughing and having a good time, game be damned. Have fun, play with friends, and we'll laugh along side. Thanks for putting stuff out. (Not that this matters - but I don't even own or play the game. I purely got into it because of CC's like you, Spookston, etc.
Just piling on the support, we enjoy the hell out of watching you for you. It's kinda refreshing to know you wt youtubers who are so good, have bad games too like all of us. The snail claims everyone's sanity 😂. Keep it up 🙏
I don't comment much, but I do watch you pretty religiously, and I've learned a ton even from your worst games. Please just go with what keeps your mental/physical state the best, you'll entertain us anyways!
Bro it’s all good man I love watching your videos because I love the tank reviews and your awesome personality
Thank you for sharing this with us. Your videos will be amazing no matter how you perform, I'm here for you personality and commentary (and a tiny bit for the vehicle)
I’ve never given a single thought to your performance in games in 5 years of watching. I find you and your personality entertaining.
OddBawZ coming in with humbling himself. That is the best thing a person can do! Keep your head up man. I’m clicking the video and watching it no matter what you upload it brings enjoyment regardless!
Good stuff, man. Something I'm finding in life is that as someone who has a lot of mental blocks about getting stuff done, removing as many hurdles between where you are and where you want to be is super helpful. So I can fully appreciate just going back to showing whatever may happen in the first few matches in order to get videos out more efficiently.
I'll keep watching either way! You're one of the people that inspired me to even start playing this game. And after 1300 hours I'm not sure if I should actually thank you for that hahaha
JK, man, you're the best! 🥳
I find you have no need to apologize! Keep up the FANTASTIC work! ❤
I personally would love a rage compilation from Master bawz
you should release a supercut of all those games, I'd watch a 6-hour oddbawz session
Just be a better friend to yourself, Odd. It's always great to watch.
just show what u got my man new players respect u because u get some pretty nice games and you say what you think, and players like me that have been playing for a long time respect you becuase even if it is not a 15 or 20 kill game, we can see in all the details of how you play you are good. even we learn from you every video, we all love you bawz
It's nice seeing youtubers playing the game and showing us the not so great games you all have. It reminds the rest of us that some youtubers aren't these untouchable gods that the enemy can't win against. I have run into youtubers a few times in game and when I see them on the enemy team I just instinctively go "yea we've already lost". It's no fun seeing certain players, youtubers or not, and just feeling that the match is a waste of time. Plus, it's nice to see you enjoying yourself playing, not wearing yourself down sweating for those 20 kill games.
We love your laugh more than the gameplay. Your gameplay is of course absolutely brilliant, but your laugh is what makes me insta like your uploads
As a bunch of have said we love watching you for your hilarious commentary and game play anyone that expects perfect games every upload doesnt understand life isnt perfect so how can a game always be perfect
I appreciate all the work you put into the videos, but I'm mostly here for you and your energetic commentary. I always feel good after watching your content, just keep being you. :)
You're always good enough for me bawz
Thank you Odd for the amazing videos you made me alittle more happier since i am now trying to cope with my grandpas passing.
Completely understandable. Always a pleasure to watch your content Bawz, no matter what.
Man Bawz, I have no idea how you can see people moving in this game, you pick up shit I can't even see, like a lot of the times you kill guys I couldn't see when you zoomed in on them, it's insane how good your eyes are at picking out tanks in this game. Love your vids and always the highlight of my day when a new one drops, thanks brother!
I thought I was the only one who gets mad the more I play
I think that as the initial dopamine level decreases, it's easier to get frustrated. But I find it hard to stop playing when I have several bad games, something inside me says "play another match, maybe this is the good one, I need a victory to leave in peace"
I'll be more aware of this in the future and stop earlier. Thank you for talking about it, Mr. Bawz!! Love your videos!
hey odd i've been following you for i think 4 years now i love your content your personality hits me well regardless of the how good your games are just like dollar play with his nonsense your a bit more serious and spookston is sarcastic id love to see you three get together oh lord id cry if you all did a video each of your game play XD i just like your content play how i do for fun regardless of how dumb it gets ill probably laugh at it but who wouldn't from the monitor they are watching this from anyways stay healthy Odd and keep making the content you love and want to put well always be here for you 😸
Love you homie! Your the first person I come to when I'm learning a new tank!!!
honestly, im glad to hear its not just me that can find the game and alot of the times my teammates being oblivious frustrating. makes me feel more human to hear its frustrating for you sometimes aswell.
I want to see your games 'warts and all'. Long time player but I still learn things watching you. I generally walk away barely believe how good a player you are. Keep up the great work! ❤😊
Whether you have good games or not, I really love your energy, you make us all happy and laugh, to me these are the most important things so please don't put too much pressure on yourself, I know you don't want to dissapoint us but we do appreciate what you do and it doesn't matter if sometimes it doesn't go too well! ❤
Hi Odd, I usually watch your videos because of how nice you are, I understand the concern of wanting to make mind blowing videos but the truth is that kind of mentality usually wears content creators down, I follow youtubers who stopped making videos because of how stressful it was for them to have a perfect quality standard and that's really sad. I don't miss a single one of your videos, I have a really good time, especially because it helps me practice my English. People who join the channel will realize that you are very good at the game, so you better try to enjoy the games and the community, we'll be here :)
Much love bawz we love watching ur videos cus it's u playing! Uve been the go-to wt youtuber for me for years!
Hello Jamie I understand, and appreciate whatever content you choose, you don't owe us and apology and we all care you're happy. So whatever you must do to achieve that, we will support. Love you dude.
I love how it cut out at 31:08 cause I know odd said some choice words at the petard smoking everything
Hahahahaha
Don't stress yourself out too much! I'd watch your videos even if you died within the first 2 minutes every match, I watch for your personality and sense of humor, the gameplay is just an extra bonus.
I laughed seeing Rage Quite in the log very relatable, making a change is reasonable and everyone has ups and downs man, be well friend
We appreciate and understand the vibe, Odd. Even for those of us who aren't making content, it's easy to get into a feeling of having to get that "great" game to be satisfied, even at the expense of enjoying it.
FWIW I, and I'm sure others, really enjoy the more casual sort of gameplay, even if it's not the most thrilling. There's countless War Thunder CCs out there to watch. We're here because we enjoy watching you play! The more, the better. Especially if that comes with less frustrated (and hopefully happier) Odd at the helm! And hell, if nothing else, that "first however many games" sort of thing probably gives folks a better idea of what to expect from most tanks anyway, so it's not like you're less informative that way.
Odd, you are an amazing person. You make people laugh, A LOT, you put dedication into your videos unlike any others. You have 275 thousand people as your subscribers, never give up dude.
Don’t forget, that experience is very relatable. Happy to watch the crazy games and the revenge cas victim games
In the spirit of honesty I watch your videos for your manic laughter and fun challenge videos like the 10 second bomb fuse and The David Fletcher worst tank series
id still watch your videos even if you didn’t upload warthunder i’m watching simply for you personality, humour and most importantly that iconic accent haha always good to see your videos regardless ❤
Well noticed and well adapted to the fun/no-fun! Looking forward to more fun stuff that's easier for you to do.
bawz, every game is exiting when you are the one driving the tank and giving us the beloved commentary!
and, 13, 13, 20 and 10. are PERFECT games dude, dont be hard on yourself
Odd, you could go 0 kills 1 assist and 3 deaths somehow and I'd still watch it because I just dig your personality and content in general.
Love you man
I like your content, OddBawZ. All of it, please don't put too much pressure on yourself.
You should do what makes you happier instead of stressing yourself out we need the scot happy to enjoy the videos
You're defo a king player, and i have a long way to go, but it was good to see the list of games you played as it made me feel a tiny bit better about myself. Still you're king and I'm a peasant with much to learn, seems we're both human after all.
It's great to see that you have "Those matches" just like everybody else Odd. Keep your fun in the game...I've found myself enjoying it a lot since I just gave up trying to be 'super-good' at this game. I'm truly addicted and have been for almost a full decade. I'm still having fun even though my stats are in the dirt. I'm just not that good and I'm just fine with it.
Good on ye. We enjoy your uploads no matter what, Odd.
Not everything can be the cream of the crop perfect. We love your videos for you, not for the 20 kill games. Being happy and enjoying the game makes the videos much better for both you and us!
honestly seeing youtubers have games that are 1 kill deaths and rage quit is always refreshing because it lets us know it happens to everyone and we're not just cursed
I originally liked your channel because while I assumed you were way better then me (I've only got 4500 hours), that you still had some terrible games like I do. It felt more real and honest that you dealt with the same sometimes terrible matches in WT. I'm glad to hear you're going back to that.
Yo OddBawZ,
Glad you are going back to the old style of "play some games and upload", instead of trying to get that perfect game.
My favourite breakfast radio is returning ^^
Any WT player understands the spiral of performance. What matters is that you’re genuine. You’re entertaining and that’s why we come back.
Yes this is what I want, we love you for you and your personality. As an American I don’t even like watching Phly not due to his content or his personally I just like your videos better. And you’re right I learned what I know to get me going in this game from you Odd. Don’t stress yourself bro, we will enjoy what you put out and the others who leave just never be liked you for you in the first place, just you stomping - and you’re great at it. Regardless, ALWAYS do why you set out to do - be infotainment - that’s why I started watching you is because you are funny and entertaining but HIGHLY knowledgeable about everything you do - it’s made me a better player for it. Godspeed Odd keep doing what you do!!
May i suggest the re discovery of the 'W' key, where you just run through the maps like a special short yellow bus rider, it is fun to watch.
Happy to have you back on the regs
its actually really nice to know that you aren't immortal. bit of my bad for comparing myself, but im glad to know that you also have really bad games. keep up all the amazing work, i usually watch you for your vibes and not the gameplay
As a new player I appreciate learning from mistakes. I'd rather watch a rough match with mistakes than a perfect match with a nuke every round. It also helps me learn when you mention what not to do and such.
I just like your commentary Odd. I couldnt care less about how the game play is. Suffering or not, Its just fun listening to you play and comment.
like always, this was just an awesome video. already the first game with the tense fight in front of the enemy spawn was pure gold to watch!
i really dont get why anyone would comment in such ways other then to promote their ego or that they have no actual idea of the gameplay...
and for my part, i didnt came here for a one in a million insane soloplay, but for the skill you provide - when you tell why and how u approach a situation i sometimes get it, but most of the times im just stumbled how the fights turn out. probably same as ur enemies xD
and that basically what makes it very entertaining... imo
dont let this stuff get to you, enjoy all the positivity instead :)
As a long-time player, I love seeing youtubers just playing. While it's okay to seek perfection, not having the perfect video is just as good, and I feel that applies to more people in the audience. It also helps when you don't feel pressure to get the best games in it, and I've definitely felt it even with more casual play myself.
On another note, this thing is pretty good, even in an uptier. I did manage to squeak a nuke out with it, but it's definitely not the best vehicle to go for a perfect game in a video like this.
That Alaska game was chaos, i loved every second of it.
Mr bawz no need to explain yourself we just here to listen and grind take a breather and watch ya content while I cool off
I really want a compilation video of a lot of these games that are bad. There’s something to learn from bad games and it also shows that it’s normal to have bad games when you overplay and get frustrated.
FWIW, I like the less filtered game play a lot more, so I hope you continue to just post your plays.
I quit War Thunder a few years ago, for much the same reason.
I'd just unconsciously get overcompetitive and *very angy* at it, and I hated it, and I hated getting that angy *in general*. Wasn't worth it, so finally quit.
Still watch you, Phly, Spook, an' Bo (plus some of Dolla sometimes), 'cause the personality and humour you all bring to your vids, along with a side of "I am reminded once again, why I quit WT" now and then 😂
Just... do watcha enjoy, Odd. Watchin ya havin fun's why we like watchin 💖
I recently introduced you to a mate of mine. The first and only comment he made was that you were a fun scottish guy having fun. Made him want to play warthunder after having denied me for months.
I try my very hardest to find out what you do to do so well, I know it’s not going to just be one tiny thing but still, I don’t know how you’re so good
yeah,today i was at work and saw that u had a new upload and i was hellyeah,listen man,i love to watch your videos,i learned a lot by watching,and lots of fun too
please keep uploading,and if you can,answer me and share the graphics settings youre playing on,resolution etc
i think more people want to know too
cheers
Oddbawz: the first minute of this video
Spookston: "So yeah I just play 3 battles and work with whatever I got"
In that last match, when you couldn't shoot through that window, I have noticed at some point that Gaijin made some changes to lightly constructed buildings that shells used to easily go through (like the houses in the Japan map) to make it so they stopped shells. When they did that, it also screwed up the hit boxes on some buildings that had walls that would stop shells, but had open windows that you could shoot through.
Bro i love wen you said 'in this videoo' and i said always "in this videooo" 🗣
