Cause seriously, it will. We're bad ass but only in one on one.

>>24690672
>"It'll be good to have you on the team."
She knows a hell of a lot more about team tactics then we do, so we should let her lead until she goes full doormat mode.

>>24691020
And then kick her ass only enough so she's not a doormat.

>>24691020
>>24691065
Why not try to be some sort of support for her then?

>>24691150
I agree, but there's only so much non active support you can give. Granted she develops but /tg/ is going to want her to develop faster.

Like, is we get to Pravda, we're probably gonna shoot the SC in the ass to get them to stop.

>"It'll be good to have you on the team."

>>24691188
we don't know how effective it is until we actually go about doing it.

>>24691272
Also true. So lets see where it goes. Hopefully we can get her out of automatic doormat mode and into at least mild suggestion mode before the big things come.

Fuck yeah, Girls und Panzer Quest.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlmBeQFDBxg
We will be Sensha-do champions.

>>24691298
To be fair to her though, I think that if she had known that the school was going to be closed down unless they won, she would have been much less of a doormat. Especially in the Pravda battle.

At that point, she didn't really care about winning as much as making sure everyone else had fun

You lean back in your chair, defeated. "Well, regardless. It'll be good to have you on the team." You say, eyeing the small bowl of sweet potato icecream. You shrug inwardly and take a bit- it's really not bad, just... sweet potato ice cream. "From what the council told me, we're gonna need every experienced tanker we can get."

Miho looks over at you.

"So far they have one tank, and they think they know where another three are." You take another bite, the flavor warming on you a bit. "We've got what any other school would consider hand-me-downs and training tanks as our main line. Well, except for Jack." You say, taking a third bite.

Miho looks down at her ice cream. "It's not the tanks that matter- it's the crew." She says wistfully.

"Yeah, but but a big gun helps." Ok, yeah, the ice cream is pretty good, by you. "What's an I-Go, by the way? 'Cause one of the tanks they found was an I-Go. I don't know much about Japanese tanks- hardly ever see them back in the States. It was an I-Go, a Lee..."

Miho blanches a bit. "I think you might be right about needing every experienced tanker we can get..."

Also in the series, she had no real support for her commander role as she was the only one with experience among the students and Chono had it in her head that Miho would organize the training better.

Just a quick note on the setting- original tanks are actually fairly rare, especially Axis tanks. Many tanks are actually to-specs reproductions rather than restored/upkept originals.

Original tanks are considered very valuable, but even good reproductions can be high sought-after for Tanking/Senshado.

Not sure how well that matches up with the GuP-classic universe, but it makes sense for this one.

>>24691350
>"What did you think of Black Jack?"
"Aside from the paintjob, we'll have that fixed soon enough"

"Don't worry, we're doomed anyway."
Wave our spoon about and ask
"I assume we're not going to be running around with four tanks and just over that in crew members. You know who's going to be joining up?"

Shame her tank isn't painted red white and blue. In a tasteful manner of course

"Speaking of tanks, what did you think of Black Jack?" You say with a bit of wounded pride, trying not to let the still-festering anger over what the Student Council had done to your tank seep into your voice.

"Well it-" Miho starts...

"OH! Black Jack?!" Saori squeels. "It's so cool! I've never seen an M26 in real life before!" She rocks back in her chair, a spoonful of ice cream coming dangerously close to being flung across the room. "It's my favorite tank! So cool... And that ninety-millimeter gun!" She continues to gush before leaning over and looking down the counter at you. "Do you think Richie-san would take me for a ride in it?"

"I-" You start.

She wasn't letting you speak, she was just getting a breath. "It doesn't matter what our other tanks our- with a Pershing on our team we'll win for sure!"

You exchange glances with Miho, who smiles weakly as Saori continues to gush. "..and it's so great that you let them paint it in school colors, everyone was really impressed!"

>"So, heard of anyone else that's joining the Senshado team?"
>"What kind of tank did you command at Black Forest?"

>>24692238

>>24692341
More like 2000 plus unless you decide to fire shit AP instead of HVAP at it, which would be retarded against a heavy tank. Actually there is no real reason the Super Pershing can't just sit on a hill and shot down every single one of them. Not a single one of them has a gun taht's even CLOSE to a threat frontally and they're all extremely slow vehicles.

It would be a turkey shot, really there isn't much reason it couldn't solo them any half decent defensive postion.

>>24693132
Little John only has about 88-90mm penetration still useless frontally. Makes them a minor threat from the sides at right angles though. Upgrading to more Churchills or Cromwells doesn't change things much either, Churchills still can't stop our gun and still don't have guns that can penetrate frontally and still much slower so we can easily dictate the engagement.

Cromwell are actually bad idea as unlike a Matilda they're armor anywhere but the front is crap. If they used Cromwells suddenly every tank on our team is a threat from the flanks. They would need to go to at least Comets or a Centurion to really gain a huge advantage.

The Super Pershing baseline is pretty much a Tiger 1 with the gun of a King Tiger on it. In historical terms without tons napkin wonders roaming around that's pretty fucking beast. Anything pre 1945 is probably going to be crapping it's pants looking down that 90mm.

"So, we've got me and my crew. Then you three and the student council." You say, rattling off the people you know are taking senshado. "That gives us eleven people for at least four tanks." You finish your sweet-potato ice cream and wave at the waitress for another. "We're going to need a hell of a lot more than that to fully crew the tanks. You guys got any idea who else is joining?"

Saori thinks for a second, finally interrupted from daydreams of riding over hill and dale with your driver. "Well, the History club is definately going to join. Irwin convinced them to all take it with her..."

"Irwin? Odd name for Japan." You wonder out loud, almost thinking there might be another foreign student at the school.

"She named herself after some big general- the entire History club gave themselves nicknames like that..."

You blink at her. Well, at least they might know something about tanks. "Anyone else?"

"What's left of the volleyball team was discussing it..." Hana says quietly before taking a huge spoonful of ice cream.

Saori nods. "They eliminated Volleyball last year due to budget cuts..."

"So how many is that?" You ask.

"Four a piece." Hana says

"Nineteen total, then..." Miho says quietly. "The Lee needs a crew of six, the I-Go needs four, and the Panzer IV needs four or five," Miho looks at you. "You're going to keep your crew together?"

You lean back.

>>24693477
[x] "The President told me that there were other tanks around the school, too. Any clue what they might be?"
guys this is the yukari-signal

>>24693426
They could still use the Matilda BP, Archer, Challenger A3, Comet, M10Cs ('murican M10s with 17 pounders, would need a close-top conversion)
Not to mention the infamous Firefly.
Any of which would be adequate to threaten BlackJack from reasonable engagement ranges.

Hmm. Funky.

And probably not much use.

>>24693558
>>24693572
technically, the superstructure dictates which direction the vehicle is facing, so the gun it forward over the engine deck, but the primary drive is reversed so practically it functions in reverse

fun fact about the archer, the driver had to leave his station before they could fire the gun, otherwise the breech would kill him

>>24693617
They did a lot of stupid shit in WWII on both sides, just let it go, your brain will appreciate it.

>>24693589
This isn't realistic tank battles, ya know, it's tank-kwan-do, it's exactly as good as the story requires.

Yeah. Like the Panjandrum or whatever it was.

>>24693649
that makes me wonder if that WoT tank-roundhouse (seen in a earlier thread)kick will somehow make it into this

>>24693628
Not actually a true fact, though often repeated.
I imagine it would be a rather harrowing experience having the breach of a 17-pounder inches from your temple, so I'd probably GTFO myself.

Goddamn Brits have the best unit names.

"Actually... What about that Yukari girl?" You ask. "She knows just about everything you can know about tanks- she'd probably jump at the chance to be on the team." The waitress brings you another dish of ice cream and you start in on it.

Saori looks at you quizzically. "The tank geek with the crazy hair?" She says, in disbelief. "Actually... Yeah she'd probably be fine if she'd just talk to someone."

You look over at her. "What do you mean?"

Saori glances over at Hana. "Well... She gets teased a lot, for being so into tanks. So she doesn't have a lot of friends and doesn't talk to people a lot."

You frown. "Well I guess I could talk to her tomorrow. She doesn't seem to mind me."

Miho nods. "That gives us enough to run the tanks we have, just barely... It's getting late, I'll see you tomorrow at practice?" She says with a smile before standing up to bow. "Thank you so much for your support. I'll try my best to make Oorai's Panzer team the best!" She says enthusiastically.

"I'll walk with you, Miporin!" Saori says.

"I'd like to come too!" Hana says.

"Guess I'll see you all tomorrow" you say with a smile, finishing off the last of your ice cream.

As the girls leave you look over at the waitress as she tries to clear the still half-full bowl of delicious Sweet Potato ice cream Hana had left behind. "Ey ey ey! Not so fast!" You say as you drag the bowl towards you.

>Dammit, why is this stuff so good?

>>24693236

Play your other tanks and use the bonus xp.

Or just grind the Mk3, the Matilda's worth it.

>>24694314
Hang back and snipe

>>24694314

Yeah my problem is the MM keeps sticking me in close quarters maps. And am I being stupid using the 2-pdr Mk IX? I like the better pen, but maybe I'm thinking about this all wrong.

>>24694382
No, just you need to hang back as much as possible even in CQ.

>>24694402
So I'm basically driving a kinda shitty turreted TD?

>>24694382
No, that's what i used and it's similar to how the Matilda works

>>24694425
Yeah, except without most of the Alpha of a TD. Just stay at it and then dump it for the Tilda the second you can.

>>24694313
Why IS it so good?

>>24694453

Because Asian space magic bish.

>>24694453
Because it's made of Matilda

>>24694495
I love my Matilda but I bet it tastes horrible.

>>24693532
>Matilda BP is a steaming pile
>The Archer is a fucking mess of a vehicle armored with tissue paper, and its open topped so it's automatically out.
>The Challenger A30 is so weakly armored that that pretty much every gun on the team is a threat to it. It also had numerous problems with that fuck huge turret.
>It’s extremely unlikely they'd even have M10s as they frankly aren't really British in the slightest AND they're open topped.

That only leaves Comets and Firelies both are threats, but both are in some ways also boons as again they have much lighter armor everywhere but the front. See that's the problem Britain doesn't really have any monster tank that's all around armored AND has a non-shit tier gun. (Black Prince is the only real expectation)

I’d also note that the series seemed to make an effort to avoid WoT nonsense where entire teams are nothing but one off prototypes or rare heavy vehicles. Yeah you see something like that once in a while (Porche Tiger, Black Forest being loaded with top end panzers, etc) but by and large the teams are stocked mostly with shit that saw combat and was used in numbers. So it seems pretty damn unlikely that the Brits have shit tons of Black Princes, Centurion Prototypes, and Full Squadrons of Fireflies whatever lying around.

Assuming they actually do have other tanks it seems FAR more likely it’s maybe some Cromwells and a Firely or two. So any move to increase firepower is going to increase vulnerability. Thus if they attempt to take tanks to counter us they're also automatically making the rest of our team more effective because the only vehicles they can use are all much weaker armor. So really it’s a rock and hard place, take tanks with better guns to counter us and they have to start worrying about all our buddies, take tanks that can shrug off the flies and now it’s a 90mm turkey shot.

Damn if they do, damned if they don’t.

>>24694594
Sounds like they'd go for ability to take out us and risk the others, which would be the smartest thing to do since they still won't be able to shoot for shit in the first match.

>>24694594
Not really. Our "flies" are so damn incompetent that they can largely be ignored just by virtue of hurpadurp.
Granted, they don't know that.

>>24694594
I wouldn't discount them having Achilles, and they are fast (relatively), which makes them deadly.

Also a Tortoise is not entirely out of the question

The next day, you watch for Yukari the at school but never see her. It's disappointing, but somewhat overshadowed by senshado practice that afternoon.

"Why is my tank still blue?" You ask Anzu as you stare at the despoiled Black Jack sitting in the hanger as girls gather around outside.

"We're still looking for paint. Be patient, would you? Budget cuts!" She replies exasperated. You blink at her. "We'll fix it!"

"Sure." You say flatly as you climb up the side.

Richard stares down at the president as he slides into the driver's seat. "So you just want me to drive it out when the doors open?"

Anzu nods.

Rose is sitting on top of the turret already, her hand inconspicuously hold her uniform's skirt down as she pops down into the gunner's hatch. "And then you want us to fire a round up in the air?"

Anzu nods again. "Mhm! We need to show these girls the power of senshado!"

>"They got hearing protection out there, right?"

This is one thing that annoyed me, no head or hearing protection at all. WE MUST EDUCATION ALL THE GIRLS ON PROPER SAFETY PROCEDURES.

>>24694767
"You realize how fucking dangerous that is? Why should I do this?

>"They got hearing protection out there, right?"

We should check our tank to see if she didn't sneak into it.

Also how did Yukari enter the tanking picture in the series?

>>24694851
Just showed up tot he first meeting.

>>24694885
>>24694851
And followed behind Miho because she knew she was a Nisihizumi.

So wait, she wants us to fire a 90mm shell into the air? THATS FUCKING SAFE. NOT.

>>24694904
Yeah...

>>24694767
>"Are you sure firing like that is a good idea?"

Actually, no, wait, changed my mind: "Hell no, that's a horrible and horribly unsafe idea."

>>24694767
>>"They got hearing protection out there, right?"
>>"They know what's happening, right?"
>>"Are you sure firing like that is a good idea?"
WHAT CAN POSSIBLY GO WRONG!

>>24694904
Maybe if we're sure it'll go into the water. Still dumb to just surprise them with it.

>>24694767
>"They got hearing protection out there, right?"
>"They know what's happening, right?"
Feel these two are appropriate

>>24694767
"They got hearing protection out there, right? Also firing Black jacks gun off is stupid and dangerous, why would you even suggest that?"

SAFETY FIRST BITCH

>"They got hearing protection out there, right?"

>>24694767
>"They know what's happening, right?"
because firing it is always a good idea

>>24694992
Well, its kind of excusable if its a blank, but doesn't change the fact the gun is still loud as shit though.

I don't know what you read in some mango, but we aren't going to discharge our weapons into the air just because we're American.

>>24695253
But we really should. There's not nearly enough explosions around here.

>>24695253
We're not trying to be Yosemite Sam here, we are not only allowed by proper authorities, but it is at their request we do this.

>>24695253
>>24695272
That, and how else are we going to boost morale and get these girls into tanking? I couldn't imagine something more awesome than hearing a tank fire. If they weren't impressed before, they'll be pumped after that.

Besides, the round'll end up in the ocean anyway. That and the entire culture is centered around tanks so no one'll care much. If your residence gets fucked by a tank, usually it's an honor.

>>24694767
By the way we are going to advise them to paint the other tanks sensible colors, right?

>>24695272
No.
As an American, someone who comes from a country that isn't completely nogunz (as opposed to Japan), it is our duty, nay, our PRIVILEGE to impress upon these girls safe and responsible handling.

>>24695396
Yes, but I doubt they'll listen unless somehow we get Miho to grow a backbone in only a couple threads.

>>24694767
can we foot the bill for the paint ourselves. Blackjack deserves its dignity.

>>24695404
Yipee-ka-yay, bro. Real Americans follow safety procedure.

"They've all got hearing protection right? This thing ain't exactly quiet." You yell down to her from commander's hatch. "Seriously. They're gonna need it!"

Below you, the engine rumbles to life as Richard hits the magnetos.

Anzu yells over the engine. "They'll be fine! I've got them standing back!" She says as backs up and heads through the much smaller personel door next to the garage.

Strapping on your headset you toggle the mic. "Right, well. It ain't our idea, but orders are orders." It doesn't take long for the doors to begin swinging open, Momo and Yuzu struggling the move the heavy things against rusty hinges.

"Richard, roll us out. Carefully, if you will." And so Black Jack moves forward into the open field. With your torso still above the commander's cuppola you can see that Anzu is gesturing grandly towards your tank. Holding your mic, you talk to your driver. "Alright, Rich. Out into the field a bit, then spin us around." As your driver obeys your orders you key the turret override and rotate Jack's turret to face the girl then, as Rick commences his rotation, you keep the turret pointed towards your audiance. "Nicely done. Alright, Rose, max elevation. Roy, load the blank."

"I still don't think this is a good idea." She grumbles as she wheels the main gun up to twenty degrees elevation. You rotate the turret forty-five degrees off your audiance.

"Up!" Roy shouts.

Thinking for a second, you duck down into the turret and button the cuppola up behind you. "Rose, fire when ready!"

Jack rocks backwards slightly with the concussion and your view from the cupolla is obscured by a cloud of dust and smoke. Opening up the cuppola, you're able to get a look at the rest of the Senshado.

Not a single girl is still on her feet. A young girl you don't recognize is crying in fear, Miho is wincing as she pulls her fingers out of her ears and Hana is staring at your tank with a mixture of religious awe and primal fear.

The point still stands that she wouldn't have done anything about it.

Besides, she won't show up tomorrow cause Grandpa's got her.

>>24695893
Hard to say, I read the reason why she was so hands off was that she was convinced that Miho would do a better job of training them (just due to being from the big family of tankers)

Basically Chono expects way too much from Miho, who struggles with the shadow her family puts over her.

But she may had objected to it due to it being wasteful.
