Hey Blackjack QM, i was wondering why your thread start so late? did you just get off of work?

>>25863076
Obviously he was fighting his way through the WoT server issues this weekend.

>>25862952
That is the best prepared fighting position I have ever seen.

"So, why the StuG?" You say, deciding that it'd be wiser to change the subject a bit. Maybe getting her to think more about technical stuff than about the upcoming test of targetting prowess will give you a better chance of having the use of both your arms.

"We decided the 75mm was the quintessential gun caliber for World War II." She says, obviously calming down a bit. "Almost every nation used some variation of it on a tank."

"Well, yeah." You say, shrugging. "But why the StuG? It's not even a real tank! It's a tank destroyer!"

She rolls her eyes. "It's got armor, it's got a gun, it's on treads. Close enough." She looks over at the StuG- the history club had already begun the early stages of their camoflague scheme- covering their StuG's sides and rear with layers of hanging rope netting. "The biggest reason, though, is that neither of us has ever worked with the StuK 40 before."

We should tell her about the bet

>>25863735
We can after the shooting match is over. If she beats the shit out of us she does.

>>25863759

And then we see if we beat the shit out of Anzu if we still get the tank after we lose.

>>25863759
This is going to seriously damage her trust in us if we do not tell her right now.

>>25863826
Oh, shut up.

>>25863735
>>25863827

See now, the tradition of comic violence dictates that as a male character, it is our duty to keep things such as these from her, so that when she finds out later (and she will), she'll have an acceptable excuse to render violence for the entertainment of the observers.

>>25863253
>"What do you think of Assam?"

>>25863895
That is an absolutely horrible idea. Stop watching so much anime. In the real world, things like that don't get you a fist to the face, they irreparably damage relationships. We need to tell her.

"What about Assam?" You say, leaning against Black Jack. "She any good?" You say cooly. Of course she's good, she wouldn't be the lead tank's gunner if she wasn't. But it wasn't about Assam- it was about Rose's response to her.

"She's good." Rose confirms. "She keeps her cool- I bounced a 90mm shell off her tank's mantlet- a foot and a half in front of her- and she kept firing just as accurately as before. A lesser gunner would've lost her zone." That was perhaps the one hallmark of a skilled and experienced gunner- the ability to put the rest of the world, even the rest of the tank, out of your mind and focus your entire universe down to you, your gun and your target. "I haven't seen her distance shooting, but she wouldn't be that good in the heat of battle if she didn't get a lot of practice at the range." She nods to herself. "I'm going to win this, don't worry, but it's not going to be an easy win."

That was good- a cool calm assessement and confindence in the outcome. Genuine confidence. No bluster, Rose didn't do bluster. Just like when she was shooting she was calm, precise and professional. That's what made her so effective.

She's confident she's gonna win, so what difference will it make it we make a bet? It just means that we get something more than just bragging rights when we win.

Hmmm, now I'm curious.

You know, I just realised that not telling Rose about the deal can backfire hilariously if Darjeeling or Assam tells her about the deal.

Almost got 10 kills last match in my Super Pershing. Got knocked out at 7, but the last 3 were at 2-12% health. Would have been amazing

>>25865249
Already called it
>>25864128

>>25865249
Maybe so but making the deal was a very stupid idea in the first place.

>>25865287
>making the deal was a very stupid idea in the first place
>implying Rose would ever lose
Assam may be Best Tea, but Rose is Best Gunner.

>>25865268

Or it completely throws her off her game, so we lose and she loses faith in us.

>>25865287
How was it stupid? We get a tank for our efforts, and if Rose wins the tea girls will have to do the tunafish dance too. Who knows, we might get extra on the dosh for that.

>>25865249
I'm just imagining the slow head turn if impending doom.

Let her know that when she wins Gloriana will give us a tank.

>>25865320
if it wasn't stupid then why is everyone dreading Rose's reaction?

That and it was a deal made with tank/teaboo lust in mind.

>>25865383

Because disrupting someone who is already 'in the game' is a recipe for disaster, regardless.

>>25865383
...I don't see how the two are related.

The deal is sound. In fact we stand to gain more than what we're hoping for. It's that these guys can't decide whether to tell Rose or not.

>>25865424
We should.

It doesn't take long for the contest to be set up- A series of ten targets would be set up a thousand yards from the StuG- each target would need to be individually targetted. Since there was only one StuG, the girls would take turns. After the first girl was done with her shots, the targets would be replaced. Each gunner would have three ranging shots to test windage and ballistic drop- after which they would have nine more shots to hit as many differant targets as possible.

Rose didn't look nervous as she approached Assam to shake hands and prepare for the coin flip. She closes her eyes, hands at her size as she takes slow, deep breaths. You've seen this before, not just with Rose but with almost any athlete who has to put everything on single, perfect shots- she's picturing the shots ahead of time- visuallizing her win before she even touches the trigger.

Assam looks confident, staring with a look of barely hidden amusement at Rose's preparations. Assam is good, no doubt, but she doesn't understand that Rose isn't just good- the Germans had a word for people of her ability: Experten, a term they used to describe their top aircraft aces, men who's abilities were considered almost super-human.

"Assam: Call it in the air." Momo states as she flips a coin.

"Tails!" She says calmly just before the coin hits the ground.

Momo reaches down and examines the coin. "Tails. Assam shoots first."

>Reassure Rose- she can do this!
>Keep quiet, she needs to concentrate right now.

>>25865319

She'll trust us MORE if we tell her. She'll know we have confidence in her. If we don't tell her, she'll think that we doubt her, and lose faith.

But we're committed now, this is hardly the ideal time to tell her.

>>25865794
Actual, healthy relationships work absolutely nothing like you are claiming.

If we lose, what do we have to do? We join Gloriana for a match and help them kick some other team's butt. We could end up against, I dunno, Anzio, and then it would be an easy fight. Or, we could end up against Black Forest, and then we'd have the unlikely opportunity to take Black Forest out of the tournament.

At the very least, we'd get some intel on our opponents.

>>25865848
That's more a consequence of your teams (or more likely you, given you are the apparent common factor) having abnormal trust issues. Not the norm.

There's nothing I can say to convince you guys, so you win.

>>25865943
Can we even do that? Fight for another team? Aren't we on some kind of contract? I suppose if Anzu agrees to it, it's good to go, but you'd think there would be more issues to it.

I'll let you in on a secret, okay? The character Rose is a reasonable individual, being written by a seemingly reasonable human being.
Now compared to these 3DPD womancreatures that throw hissyfits and are generally off their rocker, she is not retarded like many of the normalfag population are.
If/when she finds out, she'll give us a good, sound beating (if she can catch us) and call it even.
She will not, I repeat, will not think any less of us for something as little as this.

It's a wager involving her, without her knowledge, and she will have to pay the price if we lose. She might not expect to make the decision, as we are the commander, but she'll definitely want to know about it. Gender flip it and it makes no difference.

>>25866125
Troll pic or not, he's still right.

>>25866216
Yeah, this. We should have told her earlier. She is starting her visualization. She needs to stay in the zone.

You know better than to disturb her during her pre-shooting ritual. At best you'll throw off her concentration- at worst you'll throw off her concentration and anger her into physical violence. Either way there's too much on the line to risk any last-minute advice or confessions about the bet.

You learn back against the truck that had transported everyone out to the range. Watching as Assam slides down into the gunner's hatch of the StuG- it had already been driven into position and pointed towards the targets- the only thing that needed to happen at this point was for the gun to be reloaded between shots- Caesar was doing the honors there, giving her a bit more practice in the role.

"So, she's not going to ruin my parade float, is she?" Anzu says from behind you. You turn around to see the red-headed Class President and commander of the 38(t). "Assam is no Momo, you know." She chides before turning to her already-tearing-up gunner. "Sorry, Momo."

We should make a side bet with Darjeeling is she is on hand. The one regarding the date, while continuing the innuendo from our first meeting.

"Now that i think about it. Yuzu is a fine enough driver, and we know how Momo is at in gunnery. But we have not see you test out your gunnery skills Anzu. when this is over with, i would like to see you try your hand at it."

You sniff a bit. "Assam's good- damn good." You shake your head. "She's not Rose, though. Not even in the same league." You turn back to the President. "You always give Momo hell for her gunnery- why don't you shoot then and have Momo load or something?" It's a valid observation- why keep Momo shooting if she was that bad at it?

Anzu shrugs. "Never much liked shooting," she says simply. "Momo wanted to be the gunner so who would I be to say no, if nobody else wants the job?"

You're about to make a comment about it, but you let it go- Momo was already improving, however slightly, by the time the tournement starts she might even be useful as something more than a very temperary distraction. Instead you steady yourself against the truck and raise your binoculars to your eyes as Assam starts taking shots.

Rose certainly wasn't wrong- She only misses a single ranging shot before she finds her target on the second. From there the shots seem to ring out like clockwork- she's definately good- of the nine remaining shots she only misses three. A seventy percent hit rate on targets a thousand yards, even against stationary targets, was excellent by any measure.

Assam's gunnery takes about two minutes to complete and she finally climbs out of the gunner's hatch looking pleased with herself. Reserved, of course- a Glorianna girl would never lower herself to gloating, but definately pleased.

Now it's Rose's turn.

You can't beat the Rose. This is known.

"Very good, Assam." Darjeeling compliments lightly as the gunner rejoins her two crewmates. Assam smiles as she takes a spot beside her commander.

As she does this, Rose stands- she had been sitting calmly on the bumper of the truck. As she stands you get a moment of eye contact- you could give her advice, tell her she's got this, but instead you just nod. You have complete confidence in her and her ability. You give her the slightest of nods, a communication that you're as confident as she is. That you trust her completely when she says she'll win.

As she slides down into the gunnery match, you watch as that trust is validated- you watch through you binoculars as she puts the 75mm round squarely through the center of the far-left target on her first practice round. Then, like a machine, she moves from left to right, putting one round after another into target after target.

One. Two. Three hits. You look over at Assam, who's calm confidence is already beginning to falter. The fourth and fifth shots and she looks nervous. On the seventh shot Assam's shoulders fall- if Rose missed every shot from here out it would still be a tie. Rose didn't settle for that, though, as her eighth shot hits home.

Eight shots. Eight hits.

There are no cheers, just a stunned silence from both the girls of Glorianna and Oorai. Eight hits in a row was difficult many modern tankers, using hyper-velocity shells, laser rangefinders and computer-aided aiming. Rose had done it with antiquated sights on a gun she had never used in her life.

Just want to note that I actually rolled randomly for how many shots Assam and Rose would hit. Rose rolled crits (19/20 on the die) three times in a row, and a fourth time on her first shot- I stopped rolling after her eighth hit.

>>25867453
So... She hits them all?

This.
While slouching victoriously.

Any moment now...

A few seconds later, Rose emerges from the top of the StuG. "You've got two more shots!" You shout with a grin, breaking the stunned silence at what she had just done. What else could you say? Good job? Great shooting?

She rolls her eyes as she pulls herself out. "You going to pay for them?" She says flatly before she turns and nods her appreciation to the still stunned-silent Assam. "Good shooting." She compliments the Glorianna gunner.

Assam nods back silently. She looks like she's had some sort of religious experience.

Rose slides down the back of the StuG and approaches you. "So, what did you bet on me?" She askes simply as she shakes out her harms and wipes some sweat from her hair- you can't tell whether it was from the heat of the un-airconditioned StuG or from effort of her gunnery.

You blink a couple times, before putting on your most innocent looks. "I'm insulted! Who said I would ever-"

Rose cuts you off with a look. "Because I know you better than that..."

You're caught, but you break into a grin as you turn to Glorianna's lead tank crew. "So, Darjeeling. I believe you owe us a tank?"

If our new tank is any good, what do we do with the I go?

>>25867824

Honestly, I had planned on rolling randomly for how well each of them shot. I gave Rose an advantage, and there was a good chance that she could lose.

I did not expect the d20 to turn her into the Goddess of Ballistics.

>>25867824
Honestly? I doubt that's what he meant.
We've already known Rose can hit a moving target at 1500 yards. Assam is small time.

>>25867813
To be fair, BJ did roll for it.

Sell it to a museum, I'm thinking. It'd be too mean to just list it off as scrap.

Of course, this is all dependant on just what *is* the tank that we'll be receiving from the Brits--whether it be the juggernaut/money sink that is the TOG II, or a fixer-upper of a Centurion, Churchill, or Cromwell.

>>25867852
her skill today better carry on in future battles

>>25867870
hell, anything that's not that preying mantis POS would be better than the I-go

>>25867876
>Centurion
>Fixer-upper

i think you meant Covenanter

>>25867876
the I-Go can still be useful as a scout, having great tanks means fuck all if we don't know where the enemy is

I say we outfit the thing for fast and quiet running, give it some better optics and a decent radio, maybe some different coloured smoke rounds for signalling and it should be great

>>25867882
I do think he means centurion, I have walked through fields of rusting centi's that were thrown away or used as targets

>>25867890
According to the rules we can't add anything that would make it better than it actually was.

>>25867878

To be fair, hitting eight stationary targets under ideal conditions is completely different from hitting moving targets that are shooting back on potentially uneven ground, on the move, etc.

She's good, of course, but even with that don't expect that sort of performance mid-battle.

>>25867890
I'm pretty sure any engine good enough to make the I-Go move more than 20 kmph would have enough torque to tear it into two I-Go's. On the plus side each half I-Go would be about as useful as the whole one.

>>25867890
I was thinking the same thing, if at all maybe a training tank, also will tea lady do the fish dance for us?

>>25867890
It'll also make for a great hazing ritual for next year's freshies!

>>25867937
You want to get in a real tank? Fine. First take this Type 97 and take it for a lap. Around the ship. And if it breaks down on the way--which it will--you have field repair it and finish the lap. It is now 1500. You have until 1700.

>>25867876
>Centurion
Amazing tank, but not likely. Would be great off the bat.
>Churchill
An excellent heavy tank we could use as a HQ, unfortunately too slow as a Rabbit team replacement tank.
>Cromwell
Possibly the best as far as replacing the I-Goes.

Maybe a lend lease Stuart?

I'm amazed if we get anything with an A-number higher than 15.... so, my money's on an early british cruiser (crusader if we're lucky). As a replacement for the I-go, it's good (it has a gun, and it's reasonably fast), but that's about it, really...

Anyone else considering having russel offer the assistance of blackjack and co for a round anyways?

We know which we'll be called in for, Kuromine.

>>25867969
Rabbit team has the lee.

I-go team is a ...swan? I think? Goose?

>>25868105
Generally, a Mallard is wild Duck (tastes different, trust me) and is smaller and flies just a bit better than your standard white duck that is caged and bred. Runs faster too.

Could ask.

Even if we lose, we'll be providing valuable intel to the girls on Black Forest.

Besides, the opponent for that period is Pizza Hut.

Even without the tank we found, they beat their arses soundly.
