Bovington

I was there for a Battleday long ago.

 

[podcat]

yeah really wanted to go this year :'(

 

[Gamer_1745]

Once you get HOI IV released then you can go outside and play!

 

[Mannstien]

My soul traveled there...

 

[Daelyn75]

Ha! I've never heard of Tankfest before. Seems pretty cool though. I'd love to go to something like that.

 

[Liquid Sky]

The best tankfest was at Kursk.

Looks like we finally got confirmation that tanks are IN the game

Jingles and Rita Gamer!

Which makes sense since it's Jingles' video! "howdy folks"

That's funny! but admitting it's funny makes me feel guilty. You should write for the family guy or something like that.

[historicalpedantry]

Specifically it was at Prokhorovka, 80 or so kilometres southeast of Kursk.

On a similar subject, any WW2 aviation enthusiasts based in the UK (or nearby) need to know about this. If you don't already, of course.

I went last year and it was amazing.

Neither actually since we're being pendantic. The biggest one was actually in Belgium.

Looks awesome. The Redbull logo on the side of the Wellington (I think.. don't know my bombers well enough obviously) at 1:30 is nauseating though.

 

[TiberiusfromSWG]

I am not sure about my airplanes. But was that a shiny B-25 with a red bull logo on it?

Both of these are great videos and worth watching.

 

[adski42]

Yeah, Redbull sponsor a number of aircraft. I guess you've got to look at it pragmatically - to keep these warbirds in the air is ridiculously expensive and if this is the only way to do it then at least we get to see these amazing machines in their natural environment. It's not ideal, though.

Valley of Tears would be another option.

Who needs a tankfest when you have a Panther and a 88mm gun in your cellar?
