You are Gertrude Pool, Sophomore Class President and new commander of Lafayette Girls Academy’s revived Tankery Team.

You rise out of your incredibly crowded bed. Although you had extra blankets and pillows for everyones, only Lisa consented to sleeping on the floor. The rest of your staff, including Kitten, opted to use you as security after Nancy’s story which was so terrifying that even she scared herself telling it. You shake your head at that. You crawl over the sleeping Ramirez and Nancy and head for the shower.

You reflect on Homecoming last night. It was fun definitely, you got to dance, eat, meet Eugene again. All that good stuff. You may have even caught the eye of one of their best men. You exit the shower rejuvenated and fresh and then get dressed out in one of your school uniforms. Once you exit the shower, you see Nancy has arisen and apparently started on making breakfast.

She smiles when she greets you. “Morning, President. Sleep well?”

“Slept like a corpse, Nancy!” You don’t want to admit that you woke up in the middle of the night sweating in fear of surprise Shermans. You sniff the air, “What are you making for breakfast?”

“Oh, nothing special, just pancakes,” she says as she fires up the oven. “Go ahead and relax. I’ll just be here cooking.”

You sit down on your bed, yawning a bit, then you pull out your laptop. You decide to browse the internet a little. Lisa then rises from her slumber, yawning loudly. “Oh man… morning, girls.”

You nod. “Bright and early to you, Lisa. Sleep well?”

Lisa shrugs. “Eh, it was good.” She stands up and stretches, scratching her hair. “Mind if I use your shower?”

“Go ahead.”

With that, Lisa heads in. You think of what to do this morning.

You pull out your book and decide on reading some more. You read more fictionalized accounts of encountering some superweapon of German design, and yet it doesn’t really get old that fast. You still chuckle at it.

> “My Tank is Fight!” Progress: 50%

Lisa pops out of the shower, sighing in relief. “Boss, I gotta say, I love your shower. It’s one of the few showers I’ve been in that’s always consistently warm!” She looks down at your book. “Ah, still reading that?”

You nod. “Yep. Captain Dubois gave it to me, suggested I start studying more Tankery stuff on the side.”

Lisa nods. “Don’t blame her, because admitted you do have a lot of stuff to learn. Tell you what though, maybe later we can go to the bookstore, pick up some more books or something.”

“That’d be great, Lisa.” You bookmark your page then put the book down. Anything else you want to get done this morning?

> Embark on a Subquest (Operation Bertram)

You decide on calling Octavia. After a minute or two, she answers her phone. “Morning, Gertrude, what’s up?”

“Hey, Octavia. Just calling to see if you needed any help regarding the play. General status update on that too, would you kindly?”

“Sure. Well, we got our main cast. I did some work with the Creative Writing Club to trim down some extraneous characters, lines, songs, etc. Took me the better part of a few days but thankfully we’re now starting to distribute the edited scripts and I think we have a tighter narrative overall.”

“Cool, cool. What else is there?”

“Well, I managed to get the Theatre Arts kids, you know Robert and her posse, and they’re finally doing some actual work alongside the Theatre Tech kids. All I had to do was shout at them, how about that?”

“Yeah, how about that?”

“Anyway, so far, play’s coming along nicely. I’m also in contact with your Freshmen band of all things to get songs together too. Rehearsals will be Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, to sort of schedule around your Tankery Practice. I’ll handle the rehearsals but you’re free to visit if you’d like.”

“Cool. I’ll see if I can.”

“Alright, as for immediate help. I don’t suppose you could spare an additional 5,000 Dollars for our budget? One of our setpieces collapsed in on itself and we need to replace it… again. Plus, I hear you converted your SU-122 to a T-34 and I was wonder if we could borrow that as well.”

> Y
>>
>>28860477
>> Y
Do it.
>>
>>28860383
Alright.

How about we have Nancy study other tankery teams?

Lisa can consult the shop for anything new and status update on the Pershing as well as a gun upgrade so we can convert to E4. A panther too damaged for restoration could serve as parts for the spaced armor. Have her look for WTB ads too. Maybe we can deal tanks for a profit. You never know.

We can then, for now, go do the play, see if we can recruit another ace, go to the bookstore and read a bit in the meantime. Not necessarily in that order.

“Yeah, sure. I’ll have Lisa transfer the money. You can swing by the Sports Warehouse and grab the T-34 too.”

“Alright, hope I’m not intruding or anything.”

“Oh it’s fine, Samantha and her team might be a bit peeved but I can handle that”

“Alright, thanks. If you want to go over the script I’ll be over at the auditorium.”

“Righto, see you.”

You pocket your phone then say, “Girls. We gotta some work done today. Nancy,” She immediately brings you a plate of pancakes, which you take graciously. “Oh, thank you. But Nancy, I need you to get to studying some Tankery teams we might meet in the Tournament today. Look through replays, highlights, match histories, that sort of stuff.”

Nancy nods. “I’ll do my best.”

You snap your finger. “Lisa. I need you to look over upgrades and conversions with Mr. Mishka regarding the Pershing when it arrives on Wednesday. I want you to call me as soon as you can regarding what conversions will be available.”

Lisa nods. “Okay, I can do that.”

“Ramirez,” you say. “Uh…” Ramirez looks at you, having woken up a little earlier during your ordering. “Actually, Ramirez, I don’t have anything for you to do.”

She shrugs. “That’s fine.”



You sigh. You get to eating your pancakes.

“Anyway, I’m gonna head to the auditorium and look over the new scripts with Octavia.” You pull out your phone and start dialing Samantha’s number. “Stay safe you guys.”

With that, you head out of your dorm and make for school. On a Sunday no less. Whatever, you await Samantha’s answer eagerly.

“Samantha, what’s up?”

“Hey, it’s Gertrude.”

“Ah, what’s up, Gertrude? Something to do with tanks I’m guessing?”

“Yeah. Good news and bad news. Good news is, we converted your SU-122 to a T-34. Bad news is Octavia requested it for the play to stand in as a prop so it won’t be available until the play’s over.”

“Oh. That’s a shame.”

> - 5 MORALE TO TEAM MINIE

“Well, don’t worry. It’ll only be a couple of weeks. Plus we got a surplus of tanks coming in, so don’t fret. Remember to show up on Monday for Practice, okay?”

“Alright, alright. See you, Gertrude.”

You hang up and pocket your phone. You check the time, and see that you got some time. Maybe it’ll be worth it to hit up a bookstore or something.

Rifle team needs some serious morale boosting. Are there some interests of theirs outside of Tankery we could give some of our attention to, or something within the scope of practice that they might particularly enjoy?
>>
>>28860985
They're ok, but yes we need to get them some TLC soon.

Perhaps a nice /85 upgrade or their loyalty mission ASAP.
>>
>>28861002
Sorry, I don't think it's worth alienating one of our crew over, unless acquiring them involves a serious apology on their part and some reconciliation. Plus we may end up with the animation club either as a crew, or as someone that offers another form of support to us, and recruiting the otakus is liable to leave a bad taste in their mouth as well.

My memory might be foggy, but maybe we could ask the rifle team if they would crew their tank as extras in the play if they aren't already. It might help them feel somewhat better about the situation.
>>
>>28861111
Nice quads.

Anyway, I think one of them the commander? tried out for one of the main supporting roles.

> Go to Bookstore

You arrive at one of the local bookstores and step inside. It’s a bit cozy so to speak. There’s a lot of shelves for books of all kinds from teen lit to sci-fi to academic papers and some tables for some reading. You figure this could be a good place to study, if you ever actually studied.

> Note: While inside Bookstores, reading a book will now progress 20% instead of 10%.

You greet the bookkeeper at the counter, an old man. “Morning, do you have books on tanks?”

The bookkeeper turns his chair to his computer and quickly types something in. He adjusts his glasses a bit, then says, “We have only two at the moment. Achtung, Panzer! By Heinz Guderian. That’s a good academic one, and we also have Bare-arsed Ferdinand by Mikhail Strelnikov, a fictional account of a crewmember of an SU-76.”

You nod. “Okay,” You scratch your chin, thinking on purchasing one or both.

You pull out your credit card. “I’ll take both. The whole batch!”

> - 250 DOLLARS

You sit down at one of the tables then get to reading My Tank is Fight. With the now quieter, more studious atmosphere so to speak, it was now easier to focus on the book. You start skimming through pages than you normally would and soon, you’re past the 120 page mark and beyond.

> “My Tank is Fight!” Progress: 70%

You yawn, putting the book down. That’s quite some reading you did there. You check the time. Ooh boy, 11 O’Clock. Not exactly time for lunch, but hell.

> Read Book (My Tank is Fight)
> Embark on another Subquest (Operation Bertram)

You continue on reading through My Tank is Fight. You sift through all the technical drawings, the accounts, and more as you blaze through the book. Soon, you’ve pretty much tired yourself out, and you’re hungry, but you’re that much closer to finishing it.

> “My Tank is Fight!” Progress: 90%

Your stomach growls a bit. You need some sustenance. Whatever, you stand up and take your books with you and then leave the bookstore. Time to head to school.

You walk along, rubbing your stomach, books under your free arm. It’s been a while since you’ve actually went without a lunch. Hopefully Octavia has something. You arrive at the auditorium and are immediately greeted by the sound of working Theatre Tech kids. You can see Octavia sitting on the stage with YES SOME FIVE GUYS.

You run over and immediately point to her fries, begging. She nods and immediately you start digging in.

“So, what’s up, Gertrude?” she asks.

“Oh, I’m just dandy, Octavia. Slept like a baby, getting some reading done.” You hold up your freshly purchased books. “Bought these.”

Octavia takes Achtung, Panzer from you. “Oooh, Guderian. Classic.” She hands it back to you. “That’ll definitely get you places.” She holds up an extra copy of the script, which you take. You find that it’s not a lot shorter. “There’s the new script,” she say. “As you can see, it’s shorter. Goes from three hours to an hour and a half now.”

You nod. “Cool.” You take a bite out of a fry and review the script. “So, this is what we’re going to use now?”

She nods. “Yep. Feel free to keep that one. I’ve already sent out ones to the people have been cast. I think if we keep on schedule, we’ll be ready for this play on the 18th.”

You nod and start leafing through the script.

You lean back as you sit on the stage. “So, Octavia, what are you thinking of our line up? The Short Barrel 120mm should arrive today and the Pershing arrives on Wednesday.”

Octavia nods. “I’m still confused as to why you bought a Pershing.”

“Isn’t it a good tank?”

She shrugs. “It’s not a bad tank. I just don’t think of it as particularly… good either. There really isn’t anything special about it. 90mm can penetrate Tigers definitely, but there’s problems with the engine from a Sherman mind you, then there’s its inability to rough it in cross-country. But it’s a tank. Not good, not bad either.”

You scratch your chin, thinking on it. “So… not a good purchase?”

“I would’ve gone with the alternatives, but we’ll see what you do with it.”

“Speaking of which, how are the others?”

Octavia bites her lip. “Uh, well. Bolter has expressed an interest to return. As for the others well… they claim they’re too busy.”

“Ah, I see.”

“Sure. Who do you think we can get on board first?”

Octavia says, “Well, Kate and Michelle are right out for the moment. But I think we can start with Wendy.”

You nod. “Alright, Wendy. How do we get her aboard then?”

“I’ll give her a call.” Octavia pulls out her phone. After a few moments, Wendy answers, and Octavia puts the conversation on speaker phone. “Hey, Wendy. It’s Octavia!”

Wendy says, “Ah, Octavia. What’s up?”

“Not much. What are you up to?”

“Finishing up my Online Courses for the week. What about you?”

“Working on the play, actually, me and Gertrude wanted to talk to you-“

“Oh for fucks sake.”

You say, “Hi, Wendy!”

“Look, I don’t want to do Tankery okay, I told you once and I’ll tell you again.”

Right now we have... eight active tanks, better than Ooarai when they starting (number-wise).

You gesture for Octavia to try. She says, “Look, Wendy, we need to move on from this you know?”

“How do you move on from crippling someone for life? Octavia? Are you some kind of sociopath?”

“I’m not saying to forget it ever happened, but look at us! Wendy, can you honestly say you’re happy in Naval Studies?”

“Yes!... actually no but the important thing is that it’s free tuition and as far away from tanks as humanly possible!”

Octavia crosses her arms. “Look, Wendy. It’s your choice, but I’d really love for you, for all of you to come back to Tankery, okay?”

“Octavia, we just can’t- I mean-“ She sighs. “Look. I’ve moved on alright, Tanks are for little girls okay, and that-“

“They bought an M26E1 with the post-war T54 90mm gun.”



Wendy says, “Pardon?” Octavia repeats herself, a little more slowly. “… Gertrude.”

You blink, then say, “Yeah?”

“Are you fucking retarded?”

“I’m sorry, I don’t understand.”

“You bought a tank that isn’t legal, with a gun that’s an overmatch for everything, on top of a heavy tank powered by a medium tank engine, YOU FUCKING IDIOT!”

Octavia smirks, then says, “Now now, I happen to think the Pershing is-“

“It’s a load of shit if you ask me! It’s a tank that can’t decide what it is, not to mention that you could run faster than it in a fucking muddy field!”

Octavia also says, “You know, they also picked up a couple more tanks, a Short Barrel 120mm Chi-Ha, a Panzer IV C, and a Sentinel tank.”

“Jesus Christ, are you trying to make me mad, Octavia? I mean, the Panzer IV’s an excellent tank, but next you’ll be telling me they haven’t converted it to an F2 at least?” The silence is deafening. “What about their Sherman?” More silence. “… Oh for… ARE YOU MAD!?”

You say, “Are you?”

“YES! GODDAMN IT! YOU’RE NOT RUNNING A TANKERY TEAM, THIS SOUNDS LIKE A FUCKING MUSEUM!”



Octavia says, “So… will you join us, Wendy?”



“… when’s practice?” she says, defeated.

You frown. “Wow, I feel like I’ve took a huge hit to my ego.”

Octavia nods. “Wendy’s not one to hold back when she know there’s something wrong. And there is something wrong fundamentally speaking with your line up. They’re all pretty much stock, you haven’t bought new parts or applied appliqué armor anything. You’re essentially going into the Tournament pretty naked.”

You shrug. “Well, I admit, I have a lot to learn about tanks. But I’m glad you guys are here at least to give me some info.”

“Of course, admittedly Michelle won’t take kindly to Wendy badmouthing the Pershing.”

“The Pershing’s one of Michelle’s favorites?”

“One of her favorites,” she says, smiling. “Her real favorite is the Easy Eight Sherman.”

You smile, crossing her arms. “Think I might get brownie points if I convert it then?”

“Maybe.” She shrugs, smiling. You receive a phone call at this point.

No, it means you wasted an Elite tank that you could have used for a non-ace crew, while the ace crew transforms a second tank into elite as well.

> Kursk Girls Boarding School

“Tell us about Kursk.”

“Well,” Nancy says, “Kursk Girls Boarding School is one of the Veteran teams. Usually tops in at least the top three in their National Tournaments if not outright winning it most of the time. They have a heavy emphasis on Assault Guns and Tank Destroyers. Thus, I assume they’re really big into ambush tactics.”

> SU-85 (COMP. SPEC) x 20
> SU-100 (COMP. SPEC) x 15
> SU-76B (COMP. SPEC) x 20

You scratch your head. ”I thought the SU-76B was an open topped tank. Isn’t that illegal?”

Octavia says, “There’s a difference between the SU-76M and the SU-76B. The M variant is the more well-known one, the one with the open crew compartment. The B variant was produced in fewer numbers but it has a closed compartment which means a lot of teams use it in that configuration or convert SU-76Ms to it as soon as possible.”

You nod. “I see, and they rely on ambush tactics?”

“Looks like it,” says Octavia. “The 152 Assault guns can blow turrets off Tiger tanks theoretically and can one shot pretty much anything. In those kinds of numbers, getting into an ambush with them is practically a death sentence.”

> “Anything else we need to know, Octavia?”

Octavia says, “It might be in theory easy to get around their flank, yes, but that’s a very surprisingly mobile force. You could use the ISUs and SUs as fixers and the SU-76Bs as flank guards. Sure, none of their tanks actually have turrets mind you, but this is a veteran team that have made up for that lack of weakness with firepower and tactics.”

You nod. “Nancy, what about Walter Christie, what have they got?”

“Here’s the thing,” says Nancy, “I honestly don’t really know.”

“Why’s that?”

“Well, Christie practices Unlimited Tankery, they’re the reigning Unlimited Champions in North America. This is their first match with Classic Tankery, the only things I could dig up were some small tidbits here and there of what tanks they might have in their line up.”

“Well, what are they?”

You shrug. “Well, Nancy. That’s one heck of a line up.” You look over at Octavia. “I have no idea what any of these are.”

Octavia says, “The Churchill AVRE mounts a very big spigot mortar. The Kugelblitz if I recall is an AA tank, and the SU-14-2 is one of the few Tankery legal SPGs. Have to say, that is a very interesting roster of tanks. Well, if you could call them tanks.”

You shrug. “Anyway, Nancy. Thanks for getting this information to me.”

“Of course, President! Anything you need, I’ll get it done for you.”

“Thanks. Keep up the good work.”

With that, Nancy hangs up, and you sigh and lie back on the stage floor. Octavia looks down at you. “You okay?”

You nod. “I’m good. Though, suffice to say, it’s going to be a very interesting thing if we end up facing either of those opponents.”

Octavia smiles. “Hey, I know you’ll win.”

“Really?”

She drops her smile. “Uh… actually no. But you’ll at least have fun.”

“Lisa, what’s up?”

“Hey, I dropped by Mr. Mishka’s place today. I asked about the M26E1 you ordered?”

“Yeah, how’d that go?”

“He said the only models we can convert the M26 is the T26E3, or just the production M26 or the M45 with the 105 Howitzer. The rest are problematic because he has to acquire more parts which costs more money.”

You nod. “Alright, thanks Lisa. Anything else?”

Can't find anything on google, academic or otherwise that references WW2 Germany, or WW2 anyone, that used DU rounds. Besides, DU production involves taking the byproducts of uranium enrichment, or the byproducts of spent nuclear fuel. Germany had very little of the former, and none of the latter.

The Aces don't seem too keen on the Pershing. I'd rather we put them in a tank they're more comfortable in.

> Bookstore (I need to start writing these earlier.)

You arrive at the Bookstore and sit down at a table. You decide on browsing around on your smartphone, when you look up and see who else but-

“Hey, Gertrude!” The Aviation Studies Club immediately surprises you by sitting at your table. “Fancy seeing you here,” says Marina.

You smile. “Marina, girls. Good to see you.”

Marina shakes her head. “Nah, nah.” They all look a bit sullen. “We just came back from our maiden voyage of our GeeBee actually.”

“Oh, how’d that go?”

“Poorly.” She motions over to Jenny, who you now realize looks like terrible. “The GeeBee had a mechanical failure in flight and it ended up crashing.”

“Oh, are you okay, Jenny?”

Jenny nods. “I’m fine.”

Marina sulks, leaning on the table. “Sucks though. We spent ages on that GeeBee.”

Katya says, “Took us damn near our entire funds to restore it, and it’s pretty much gone like that.”

Lidya says, “It fucking sucks, that’s what.” She suddenly beams. “Oh, Marina, weren’t you going to ask Gertrude that thing?”

Marina looks surprised, then she looks at you shyly. “Uh… if you’re interested, Gertrude.”

what is it?
>>
Allright, so tankery/senshado question.

As long as everything was produced, in production, or could have been produced by or in the cut off date in '45, it's legal right?

So does that mean backmods towards stuff is legal? The Firefly only fits a crew of 4 because the ammunition storage ate a lot of space...but that's because they went into the field carrying a load of something like 80 rounds.

No way a tankery match needs 80 rounds from a 17 pounder. Can we get the naval students to make it all fit with a lower ammunition load to keep that extra crew space?

Similar question for the Pershing. Can we get the Naval Studies kids to try to hack in a 17pdr or something?
>>
>>28864429
We'd have to go to the Senshado league for that.
>>
>>28864389
We're not kicking the deliquents out of their tank.

There doing good in it, we give them what we have, it's not like we're recruiting all of them right away, so we have time.

I still eaither want them to use the pershing, or we sell it.

Also, Jenny basically went through method acting with what happened to her. Oh wow.

Having never watched/read/seen/viewed/[actioned] any of the actual GUP media, can you detail that process for me?
>>
>>28864471
I'm perfectly good with kicking the delinquents of their tank, they haven't named it yet, so they're not too attached to it, the Pershing would be perfectly fine for their purposes.
>>
>>28864346
>Y

Also, about the Pershing: would it be within the rules to mount a supercharger onto the GAN? The base for the GAN was intended as a V-12 fighter engine, downsized to a V-8. Most of the WW2 fighter engines were super/turbo/twincharged, so it's conceivable that one could be mouted to the GAN.
>>
>>28864494
That's one of the things that is always said but explained in no detail. It's canon, but their is no actual process.

tldr, it'd basically be up to Schteel.

I think it'll be better for their morale to allow them to be in the tank they chose themselves

“Sure, what do you need, girls?”

Marina says, “Well, we did a bit of history on Lafayette Girls Academy, and we know that they used to have a Skycraft team. Planefighting. Essentially Tankery with World War II planes.”

You nod. “Where is this going?”

Katya says, “We want to start a Skycraft team.”

“Skycraft Team?” You scratch your chin, pensive. “Well… I mean, do you guys need money or something for that?”

Marina shrugs. “Oh, around 10,000 dollars. But, no more. We looked through the archives and there may be at least five functional planes lying around. We don’t know where, but they’re somewhere.”

“I see. But what about Tankery?”

Katya says, “We’ll keep doing Tankery and save Skycraft for later. Restoring the planes will take time, plus other things.”

Marina says, “So how about it? Can we do it?”

They chose it because the Panther was big, that's it, no deeper meaning. The Pershing will do fine, and the Ace team getting a good tank to make the most use out of it much more important than whatever the fuck the Delinquents think. There's a lot more riding on the outcome of the tournament than the Delinquents.

In any case, the Panther is actually better in some respects than the Tiger, especially its frontal armor.

Then why did we buy a freaking Pershing!

That's it, we're going to sell it first chance we get and hopefully break even

they are getting good in it we just need to boost their morale and I think they might be one of are top crews

That said, we are getting some cash tomorrow from sponsorships I believe. I'd change my vote but the consensus seems to be Y so whatever.

>>28864748
I see getting the Aces a good tank as a pretty good reason to antagonise them.

And there's a lot more to tanks than their guns you goddamn ninny.

“Sure. I can get you the 10,000 Dollars now if you’d like.”

Marina nods, grinning. “That’d be great!”

> - 10,000 DOLLARS

With that, the Aviation crew stands up. “Thanks, Gertrude!” says Katya. “It really means a lot that you’d help us with this.”

Jenny nods. “Hopefully we won’t crash these planes.”

“I gotta say though,” you say, “It’s safe right? I mean with planes…”

Lidya says, “Skycraft planes are fitted with intensely armored cockpits. It’s like flying around in an A-10 Thunderbolt.”

Marina says, “With that, we oughta be off. If you’d like, you can join us on our hunt for the planes tomorrow after school, Gertrude.”

“I’ll think about it, Marina.”

With that. The Aviation Studies Club says their goodbyes and leaves. So, what shall you do now?

They hit a target, THAT IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DOING SO CONSISTENTLY UNDER COMBAT CONDITIONS.

Are you legitimately retarded? Because they are fucking lightyears away from the Aces, and possibly will be forever. You have nothing on you apart from "they hit these targets under controlled conditions", big fucking whoop.

The Aces can't win the tournament alone. We need a good team and the delinquents are a part of that team. And since they aren't here volentarily we need to look out for their morale so that they can become a asset for team. And I believe letting them keep their tank helps with that

“Sure, Kitten, I can be there in a bit. Wait up for me will you?”

“Sure, I’ll just get everything wired up.”

With that, you exit the bookstore and head for home. You think today’s been pretty productive. You’ve convinced the Ace Loader to join, you’ve worked a little on the play, and you’ve finished your first book on Tanks. Well not technically tanks but you get what you mean anyway.

With that, you arrive at Kitten’s dorm without incident. You open the door and walk in and see Kitten behind the TV, ass in the air as she wires her PS3 and the Xbox 360 to the TV and into their power outlets.

You quietly sneak up behind her, then stand over her. Once she’s finished, she rises then immediately yelps in surprise at seeing you. “Ah! Goddamn it, Trudy! Don’t do that!”

You chuckle, “Sorry. Sorry. Couldn’t resist, your cute little ass was in the air and I felt the need to demonstrate the dangers of ‘asking for it’.”

She rolls her eyes. “Yeah, whatever.” She sits down. “So, what do you want to do?”

“What games you got, Kitten?”

She bends down, shifting through the cases. “Well, I got World of Tanks, Crimson Skies, Halo, Call of Duty, Bioshock: Infinite, The Walking Dead: The Game, Forza Motorsport, WWE, uh…”

You tilt your head. “How about something we can play together?”

Kitten nods, pursing her lips as she browses. “Ah… How about World of Tanks? We’re Tankery students after all.”

“Yeah, sure.” She opens up the case and inserts it into the 360. “Though, I gotta admit, I don’t take you for a gamer, Gertrude. You know what you’re doing?”

You take up a controller, puffing out your chest. “Of course! Guys love girl gamers you know?”

Kitten says, “If that were true, I wouldn’t have you called you over, I’d be having sex with my boyfriend.”

You scoff. “Whatever. Let’s do this.” The title screen comes up, and Kitten logs in through her account. Thanks to the magic of internet and Wargaming becoming a developer company that actually works without some amount of Russian bias, you and Kitten are able to do co-op in Multiplayer through her account.

That might change depending on circumstances and needs. We need to hold onto at least a bit of cash in case we need sudden upgrades like dozer blades or hedge clippers for the terrain.

“I want the TOG!”

Kitten looks at you like you’re crazy. “You’re taking the Royal Navy into the match?”

“What? It’s big! It has a 17 Pounder gun!”

Kitten laughs, “Alright, alright. I’ll take the Jackson then.”

You shout, “LET’S DO THIS!”

The match has been started. You arrive on Himmelsdorf. Big city map with a lot of chokepoints and big open park in the center with a Railroad on the left side and the Castle on right.

“Right,” says Kitten, now completely focused. “Follow me.”

“Okay,” you say as you start powering your TOG II to the maximum speed allowed.



You say, “Can you slow down a little?”

Kitten buries her face in free hand, laughing mad. “We are so fucked.”

That said, sure go ahead with the Sherman. Didn't we want to get an Easy 8 though? Not sure what the upgrade path here is.

The one with the 76mm gun, I guess.

Here's a question. Does the "W" in the M4A1(76)W refer to "Wet Ammo Rack"?
We might wanna get that then, since Ace made the killing shot at that spot in the side with the ammo stowed.
Let's learn from our losses here.
>>
>>28866218
It does. But a penetrating hit is a white flag, whether the ammo explodes or not.

> Follow Kitten

“Whatever, I’ll follow you. Let’s go.”

Thus, your trusty yet retardedly slow TOG II starts up the hill for the Castle section of the map. You see blips on the minimap indicating allies and enemies. Most enemies appear to be going into your lane.

“They’re all going after us,” you say.

“Stand fast, Trudy,” says Kitten as she and a very helpful Jagdpanzer IV push you up the hill. “Thank you, Mr. Jagdpanzer IV.”

Your TOG immediately crests the hill then is immediately beset upon by a Hellcat and a very poorly platooned Leichttraktor. You bring the TOG hard to starboard, and immediately their shells start bouncing off thanks to the incredible angling. Any shots that do penetrate are immediately absorbed by your absurdly huge health pool.

Kitten thus takes the time to take potshots from behind you as you move. “Yeah, just keep like that, Trudy.”

You ask, “Did you just bring me over here to use me as a shield?”

“Noooo… I just didn’t think you’d choose the TOG.”

You hit the Hellcat, ammo racking it and causing it blow. “Yes! I got one!”

Getting the Sherman to the M4A1(76)W standard is probably more than adequate for the moment. Seeing how much it takes to get the Panzer IV to Ausf. F2 or even better Ausf. H would also be worthwhile. We don't have a crew for it, but transferring the Sewing Club from the dead-end Somua S-35 would provide another capable late-war medium tank in the lineup. If the funds work out that we can upgrade the T/34 to late-war 85mm standard, that would give us a quartet of highly effective medium tanks as a maneuver element capable (in theory) of dealing with anything the team might be faced with.

That said we still have more tanks than crews. so recruiting new crews is pretty important. But when spending money we need to maximize the effectiveness of the tanks we are using. Octavia's commentary makes me suspect that customization has been underrated. Maybe we should also look at applique armor packages for the manned tanks, and the improved suspension packages? They seem cheap enough on a per-tank basis, anyway.

“Hey, Kitten, get us into the next round, I need to make a quick call.”

Kitten nods. “Righto.”

You quickly dial up Mr. Mishka, and he answers within the minute. “Gertrude, what can I help you with?”

“Just calling for potential upgrades to the Sherman. Preferably something with the 76mm Gun?”

“Sure, we have the M4A1(76)W with wet stowage and 76mm gun here for 17,000 Dollars. I checked with your budget, looks like you have… 18,700 Dollars at current. Whoo, might drain your budget, but I think it’s a worthy upgrade. Will you confirm it?”

As near as I can tell we've got around 15 grand left in the bank, with an unknown amount of dollars coming in Monday from the Moroccan sponsorship.

About Sewing Club.. I'd look at our first match on tourney first before deciding transferring them to better tank.

I'd actually prefer another light tank. At present we have 5 meds, 2 heavies and one light. We have a med/heavy and a SPG equivalent coming. I would prefer another scout.

Then again, I am horribly biased because I only play light tanks in WoT.

Still, in the long run, more meds is probably a good idea, outside of astonishingly good bargains.

You nod. “Alright, thanks Mr. Mishka. Keep up the good work.”

“You too, Gertrude.”

At some point they'll only as effective as Ooarai type 89.

Maybe on our first 2-3 matches Somua will suffice, but at some point we will need to upgrade them with better tank for firepower.

...Well, we can always delegate Sewing Club to scouting roles, if we can get more member with late-end mediums.

If we managed to get 15-20 tanks, i'd like to see more 76mm Shermans, Firefly, Late war Pz IVs or T-34-85... maybe with one more heavy.

You decide to stay at the cap point, and then try to ingeniously hide your immense TOG II* in a bush only a fourth your size. Nobody will ever suspect it, and hopefully no light tank manages to spot you. Kitten does the same, hiding her Jackson among more bushes near the cap point.

Soon, you see what Kitten refers to as the lemmings run across the immensely huge field. You, Kitten, and more of your allied players open fire on them, and start draining the enemy team of their bad players.

“This is fun!” you say. “How come we don’t play more World of Tanks together?”

Kitten says, “You say that as if World of Tanks being regularly fun is a thing.” With that, Kitten is immediately one-shotted by arty. “Noooooo! They got me!”

“I’LL AVENGE YOU, KITTEN!” You’re also hit by Arty, thankfully not killing you but wiping out most of your HP. “On second though, I’ll just keep doing this-“ you’re then shot by a KV-1S with the 122mm gun. “Aaaaand I’m dead.”

She looks over at you, smirking. “Fun, isn’t it?”

Kitten shrugs. “Very common these days. I hear they plan on nerfing it but… that was ages ago really.”

You scoff. “Anyway. I think I’m done with World of Tanks! This baby game makes me mad by simply existing!”

“Okay, Heavy Weapons Girl,” Kitten puts her controller down on the bed. “How about a movie then?”

“Sure. Go ahead and pick one out.” Kitten then stands up and walks over her to huge stack of movies to watch, then starts sifting through them. With that, you get another phone call.

“Kitten’s good, she’s actually here right now. Let me put you on speaker.” You hold the phone up to Kitten. “Kitten, say hi to Eugene!”

“Hi, Eugene!” says Kitten enthusiastically.

“Hehe! Hi there, Kitten! Still the shut-in me and Gertrude know you as?”

Kitten says, “A bit yes, but Tankery’s doing wonders for me, thank you very much, Eugene.”

“Of course, of course. Gotta say, you two enjoy Homecoming?”

You nod. “Sure did. I hope we see each other again for something like that soon, Murphy.”

“You’re welcome, Eugene! Hey, tell Ace I said Hi and I hope to see her at the Tank Meet.”

“Alright. Anyway, I’ll let you two do what you’re doing. Call you another time?”

“Sure thing, Eugene.”

You hang up. You and Kitten lie back in the bed. “Ready, Trudy?” She holds up the remote, smiling and eager for a rousing movie.

You nod and say, “Let’s do this.”

Well any post tanking discussions?

I propose giving the Pershing to the Aces when we finally recruit them. Bolter might be coming to Tuesday's practice and we have Wendy joining us as well. That's 3 out of the 5 Aces.
>>
>>28868616

Hell no, the delinquents can have the Pershing and the Aces the Panther, half the Aces hate the bloody thing anyway.
>>
>>28868503
I'm worrying more about money and crews at this point first.

We still got two spare tanks idling before those arrive.
>>
>>28868503
Keep the Chi-ha as is. We can use it as an landscaping unit, or in other words, blowing shit up to suit our purposes.

So blasting apart bridges, collapsing buildings to block roads, or whatever else we can think of.
>>
>>28868669
Considering it's a free upgrade from Vintage to Elite, I'd rather do that then have to pay for comp spec for no reason.
>>
>>28868725
That's a stupid reason though...
>>
>>28868725

We only get one elite upgrade boyo, doing it for the sake of coin-counting, especially on a tank most of the team hates, is quite frankly the height of idiocy. Remember what Ace did to us? You're proposing wasting THAT on a sub-par tank.

>>28868747

>>28868767

>>28868777

I'd rather not stuff the Aces in a tank that most of them hate for the sake of your delinquentboner.
>>
>>28868807
Excuse me?

We have plenty of other choices besides the panther, and we haven't recruited them all anyway so I'm just thinking of what to do with this tank?
>>
>>28868803
We bought it because uninformed decisions. Whether bad or good, I leave to you.
>>
>>28868850

Except the Panther is our best tank.

Which we can elite.

See my logic here?

A couple of practice sessions in the Panther isn't going to magically weld them to the Panther and cripple them when we take it away.
>>
>>28868883
Pretty sure it was bad, between the sherman bashing, and the pershing boasting despite two experts and nancy were confused by the choice
>>28868885
then why didn't we tell them the Panther's off limits
>>
>>28868919
Because we let them PICK their own tank when we first recruited them.
>>

>Thanks to the magic of internet and Wargaming becoming a developer company that actually works without some amount of Russian bias


suspension of disbelief: broken
>>
>>28868926
I remember that, but I also remember that a few voted to tell them to shelf the panther.

but I'm still wondering what do we do with the pershing.
>>
>>28868919

I really wish we did.

Then again, there were some sperging anons raging about how we weren't using it, whatever, in any case the course of action with the most return is transferring the delinquents to another tank (they seem to like big tanks, so the Pershing should suffice) and give the Aces the tank most suited for them.

>8 tank crews

I want the next practice session to be an informal 4vs4 match.
It'll at least give us an opportunity for the crews to operate in independent teams without us needing to micro them.
Alternating pick between the chosen team leaders.
>>
>>28868965
that really will seem to give more head aches though.

It will still be awhile before we recruit all of them not to mention in that time the deliquent might get attached to the thing.

No more morale decreases
>>
>>28869017

As far as I'm concerned, an elite Panther will more than make up for that.

We have a lot more riding on the tournament than just the delinquents after all.

I guess, my main reason is that it feels like a dick move.

However, I won't force neither side. I still propose they get to choose any unmanned tanks we have available.
