Hey bud, just watched your return video and wanted to stop and say how extremely proud of you I am. I have personally been struggling with alcohol as well, and it has been extremely rough. Addictions in general are bad, but with alcohol being EVERYWHERE it SUCKS. I get it. I have been in a rut recently and have been worried about relapsing, but honestly hearing your words at the start of the video reignited the flame that's been keeping me going. In a few days I will be 5 months sober, which has been one of the most difficult things I have ever done. I truly hope that you know how much we absolutely love and care about you. You've grown a great community here for a reason, and lord knows it's not because War Thunder is a happy and wonderful game haha. You are genuinely an amazing person, and I know from experience how difficult that can be to see when dealing with addiction. The alcohol is the problem; not you. Keep it up Steve, and never be nervous to talk about your personal life on the channel. We're all in this together. ❤

0:18 I just know that BMP-1 dude is absolutely *LIVID.* 😂😂

The bmp bush heat explosion probably has that dude breaking his keyboard 😂😂

That fight with the BF109-K4 was probably one of the top fights on this channel

Makes my day hearing Phly enjoying himself again :D

I agree totally. No post WW2 tanks against WW2 vehicles.

I gotta thank you, Phly, I've been introduced to this game by you and loved watching your content back in the day. Now, I have a crippling addiction for the last 6-7 years.

One of the best content creators.

Thank god Phlys back. He’s the only person who has the same idea that top tier isn’t as fun as mid tier and that WW2 is what the game was made for. Thanks Mr Phlop

Phly is absolutely Cookin Up Videos every day Love them ♥

"Don't die Steve." BOOM! "Fantastic" 🤣😂

WE'RE SO BACK seriously, Phly, good to have you back comrade

The year was 2022. I was in my first foreign country. I was 10 days into a 14 day trip through Germany. It was the first day I had to relax. My wife and I were in a small town called Messien. We had no plans. So I laid in bed and played PhlyDaily videos on the TV. My wife couldn't have cared less about WT. But Phly is so genuine, and genuinely funny, that she couldn't help but laugh at the video when Phly made jokes. I had only started watching your videos a few weeks prior to the trip. I just wanna share a beer (you're sober so how bout a La Croix instead) and talk about anything and everything. You're a vibe, and I didn't realize how much I like you as a person, rather than a content creator, until you were gone. Welcome back, bud. We missed you, and we are so proud of you.

I was here when phly had 300k subs, now here we are. ready to do it all over again, I'm glad I'm going to be part of this journey all over. best of luck to you Steve rebuilding the channel, you got this 💪

a WW2 battle mode where the matchup is based on what armies actually fielded against each other in the timeline not RB would be amazing!

it would be awesome if we could see a double cas vid with odd where y'all use the French Corsair and the 114 snebs. maybe taking out a whole lineup too.

Thank you for posting still Phly I’ve been here since Slick and Barron and you been with me through the good and bad in my life. Your personality made everything so much better for a long time. So thank you for that.

I started playing this game thanks to yourself and the TBLF crew, and I mainly play WW2 machines. I've faced my own demons when it comes to addiction and know how hard it can be. You stay strong brother, take each day as they come, and know you are not alone. Love your content and it's great to have you back.😀

Glad to have you back PHLY.

Love you Phly, glad you're back.

Good to have you back Phly, you never disappoint.

Gotta love a Phlyday, phly upload

im so glad you're back your energy is so refreshing

Loving the videos! Glad you're back!!!

Hey Phly, a video series idea could be maybe starting a line from 1.0 and working your way up through the line to the highest BR, sorta like an everlasting play though as you get better tanks

Phly spitting facts about what tanks battle other tanks. THANK YOU! So tired of these cross-generational matchups.

Glad youre back and doing better Phly!

Loved this video, I love that you're back!

Hey Phly! I want to see a Su-27 video (again)…. But I think the Pbv 501 with a choice of your vehicle with the Bkan 1c if you want. KEEP PHLYING DAILY!!

12:37 The stall roll 😮‍💨 perfect

1. Seeing him being so happy about the new tanks and such is absolutely amazing 2. Phly you were gone so long that they didn’t get to see how well you’d use a tank so they had no idea what battle rating to put it in 3. It’s good to see your back and posting alot again keep up the great work we all love you

Proud of you Phly, really happy your back. Missed you ❤
