Dropping this a day early, as this weekend will be devserver content.

0:15 no Tim. I am here for the history. Thank you very much.

The silhouette of this thing alone brings you fear in the mid ranks of GRB 😂

An enemy player had the PE-8 FAB-5000 fuse set to like 10 seconds. Still killed like 4 of us since we kept getting in each other's way, but that player must love the terror he causes with that fuse.

I loved the segment in which you showcased how much bombs of what type have an effect on a base. Its incredibly useful, and something that I don't think I saw in many other reviews thanks for that! Great vid as always, keep it up Tim!

[SiskoSvK]

Fab5000 saved my team many times in higher BR. Straight up "Rico, ka-boom!" moments.

*Pe-8 spawns*

The entire opposing team - "why do I hear boss music?"

[breecegriffith]

It’s always nice to have a video about a unique prop plane rather than just another American jet owned by another country.

[Malkuth-Gaming]

Its a special kind of dread when you see a fab 5000 slam into the ground next to you on a 2 second fuse.. just long enough to think "fuck"

[christianshipwreck]

Tim, just wanna say. I've watched damn near all your vids. I initially came for the reviews on top tier jets, loved your RDR and RWR guides. I've had the PE-8 for years now and that review did it justice. Keep up the good work and thanks for all your videos.

Tim blessed us with early vid, going through it right now so this is a nice thing to watch and relax.

5:58 In this moment, Tim decided that your life was a sacrifice he was willing to make. Godspeed, ISU.

edit: damn he did it twice, a small price to pay for salvation

[a_catfish]

0:26 I love how the ground target survived but you killed a plane instead

[bensmith]

I have gotten 14 enemy kills with one bomb with this monster I love it

[Trilobiteer]

Imagine kicking your team's best player because of your own inability to read the chat xD Thanks for the review Tim!

[Fffffffffffffffffrfrf]

I really appreciate the section dedicated to the damage that each loadout makes on bases...really useful! Great job as usually

[viktorgavorn]

My brother, upon seeing this plane, described it on the spot as a "WalMart B-17" and I can't see it any other way.

[mortexic]

05:54 you REALLY should have sent that mission to thundershow!

[dayofbadtimes]

“Unavailable” is one way to put it. I believe they all went on a nice and _extensive_ “vacation”

[topkekalicious]

I really like showing how much damage to each base the bombs do, I hope that remains for future videos! Maybe even for Strike Aircraft as well!
