We got a publisher! Also, meet Black Jack the tank, the character inspired by our MC's own lifelong companion. He's part of the sample list. I don't have the custom art we got for him at the moment...maybe later.

Boof came back with an update that he was up to 8.

>>33075618

Not just yet. We had Roy load an AP, not the HVAP.

Which is good, because at 1800 yards we won't penetrate. But we WILL make a damn good point.

For the sake of expediency...

>>33075618

Oh obviously it's possible, I just wasn't sure if the map layout would allow for it. It seems like she's sat in an awkward position so if we were to go forward through a building onto the next street over we could either try and pursue her, or pretend we've panicked and lure her into a trap.

>>33075938

Is that a shell...

...With Erika written on it?

S'been an hour, is BlackJack kill?

"Fire." You say- Rose doesn't waste a second- the T54 90mm maingun roars as the heavy Armor-Piercing Capped, Ballistic Capped shell arcs out towards the Tiger II and impacts squarely against it's hull. "Hit! Jesus- You hit!" It takes a second for the surprise to register- a cold bore shot against a target over a mile away.

"Confirm kill?" Rose asks, voice still calm and disconnected. The temperature in the turret drops a degree or two.

"Confirming..." You watch as the smoke from the impact clears. "Negative- shattered on her glacis." To be fair, you weren't expecting a penetration at this range- but at least Erika knows you've got her number.

Also,

Let them make the next move. Our armor is about equal, and their gun is inferior to ours, which means they can't penetrate us either.

>>33076067
Seconded. stick to the plan, people.

>>33076067

I'm pretty sure that smacking her dead center-of-mass from a mile away is not conducive to baiting her in.

On the other hand, we hit but didn't penetrate. Maybe she'll take that as a sign of weakness.

>>33076333

Yeah it could go either way. She could think it was either a lucky shot, or a worrying sign. I think Erika will assume the former, especially without any orders she's supposed to be following, or Maho, etc.

>>33076333
Its Erika. in her mind, had the positions been reversed, we would be dead. people with Egos like her are easy to predict, if you know what stokes it. Lucky shot, cold bore, whatever; to her, we screwed up.

>>33076446

"...heh...ha...ha-HA! Stupid Yankee, wasting ammo at this range. Does he even know how thick our armor is?!"

"But commander, could we even penetrate at that-"

"SILENCE!"

>>33076641
Exactly.

How do we knock off her drive sprocket? Will the concussive force from an HE round do it, or do we actually have to hit the sprocket itself with a kinetic round?

>>33076792
Not to sound like some glory seeker, but wouldn't that cheapen our victory? If we irreparably immobilized a tank with already complex and vulnerable motive systems? Erika may be inclined to brush off our victory if we achieved it that way. No matter, how good the rest of our attack and maneuvers were.

And I'd say kinetic rounds would have the best chance, but no matter which type of round Rose would need uncanny aim, or we would have to uncomfortably close the distance.

>>33076912
we chose Urban so that we could use our superior mobility to trap/ambush Erika, rather than do a sniper duel, which Rose has proven to be God-tier in. Long or close range, have a little faith, man.

>>33076999
>have a little faith, man.
Alright, but only because of that get.

I'm confident in our ability, but right now I'd like to just haul ass and close the distance and flank or get the drop on them somehow. I like speed.

Hey, Sentinel, you're here, how have you been?
Quick hypothetical question about your Australian tanking: say I had a T-28. I wanted to replace the two machine gun turrets with the 45mm turrets from the T-35 and/or install a later model 76mm gun. Would any of this be allowed?

>>33077274
Modifications in Australian tanking need to make sense in the context of "Are these modifications that the manufacturers would have come up with and used at the time?"

Whether it does or doesn't make sense according to that context is decided by an official board of tank people. Obviously this is more loose for prototypes than with existing vehicles.

Do you think such a modification would pass the board? I'm not so sure myself.

>>33077367
Well they're not in this match. Although I do like my fast light tanks.

Through the periscope you see the Tiger aim and fire again. "Brace!" You call out, waiting for the round to impact, but her second shot goes low and wide- skipping off the pavement and into a building several yards in front of you. Time to egress before she manages to get on target. "Alright, Richard. Get us out of here."

"Got it!" Richard revs the Ford GAF up and reverses a few feet- He'd had the forethought to start the engine when the first round had streaked over. He then turns the big Pershing and neatly turns the tank and rolls it down the side street.

Alright, it wasn't the decisive first encounter you were hoping for, but with a bit of luck that first shot had taught Erika to respect your gunner's aim. And you're still alive and mobile. That's always a plus!

his Necromancer is working on the recharge ritual, he'll be up an a tick.

Kuromuromine strategy demands aggression, and Erika was aggressive even by their standards. You've already bounced a shell off her frontal armor- range be damned, she's going to think you've got the usual American pea-shooter. She's going to assume you've panicked because your gun, by far the strongest advantage you've got, has only managed to scratch her front plate.

All this information comes together at once. "Alright, Richard. We're going to flank around- I need you to head Northwest- lots of detours, lots of side-streets, lots of turns and twists." You say, looking at the map. "In fact, stay off the main streets completely- we need to make sure she doesn't see us."

The longer she thinks you're hiding, the more surprised she'll be when you outflank her.

Let's move at a deliberate pace and look for a good ambush spot we can lure Erika to. Do our tracks tear up the road, they'll be able to tell where we've been right? We should try and leave a trail for them to follow. Knock corners off buildings, unnecessarily flatten stuff, etc.

I'm not sure what kind of ambush spot to look for though.

If she has her engine running she might not be able to hear us even. Also, like >>33078627

I'm inclined to take it slow and easy, but I really think things are still too open for that to matter. If it gets tight like our duel with the Centurion, then I think we'll have to slow down.

Note: reading of Anchoviewritefag's earlier work is required before beginning writing .

You make a good pace through the city- well a good pace for a heavy tank, anyway. Richard drives expertly- managing to fit Black Jack through sidestreets and alleys that you would've never dared. There is one thing that slows you down though- you make sure to stop every few minutes and listen- you can still hear the Tiger II's tracks.

She's making her way aggressively, but carefully up that main boulevard- she still hasn't caught on to just how loud her tank is, and just how quiet yours is in comparison. Sometimes it's the small advantages that give you everything you need- in this case rubberized tracks are keeping you off her radar, allowing you to stalk her silently.

By tank, standards anyway.

A couple of stops later, you judge that she's finally passed your position.

Might be a good idea to unbutton and peek around or listen more closely to confirm Erika's direction.

>>33079753

I can get behind this. Perhaps we can lob some HE somewhere as a distraction?

>Might be a good idea to unbutton and peek around or listen more closely to confirm Erika's direction
Do this.

>>33079758
+1
>>33079806
depending on the position of the surrounding buildings, I don't think we have the range to put the shell a long enough distance away to not give away our position.

>>33079806
>Perhaps we can lob some HE somewhere as a distraction?
Nah, not this one.

We don't want to alert Erika of our presence. We are trying to mask our movements as much as possible while simultaneously gathering even more precise information on enemy movement.

>>33079758
Normally I'd suggest this, since you physically cannot fight a tank battle buttoned up, but Erika is aiming to hit us (as in the person) with the 88.

Is the main boulevard wide enough to swing the 88 around?

>>33079880
I don't think Erika sees us, guy

>>33079880
BJ, care to confirm?
>>33079925
agreed. She's going off our last known location, and unless she has superhuman selective hearing, has no idea we're here.

>>33079925
See: last thread. The shot would've hit us if we weren't buttoned down.

If the boulevard isn't wide enough to swing the 88 around, what we should do is load HVAP, crash through the buildings and go in front of her.

To Erika, we've already demonstrated our gun can't penetrate the front of her tank, so she'll have the turret aimed to the back to cover that sector. But HVAP can go through all parts of a KT at <100 yards.

>>33079880
Well, based on this post...

>A couple of stops later, you judge that she's finally passed your position.

It's unlikely that her tank's turret would be facing anywhere but forward at this point in time.
And we can still try to listen to her movements from behind an obstruction. It's just easier to do that unbuttoned than inside the tank buffering up the acoustics.

>Is the main boulevard wide enough to swing the 88 around?
Regardless of the area, the traverse speed (180°) takes between 10-30 secs. 5 seconds on max, but I doubt she's running the engine full throttle.

>>33080028
I think Sentinel meant currently. past tense vs. present tense.
>>33080047
with that amount of time, we can pop out, apply surprise HVAP with no lube, and be gone before Erika can retaliate if she's still going.

>>33079563
Hey, BJ, its past time. Stop being dead and Post.

"Alright, Richard..." You say, ducking back into the tank and buttoning up the commander's hatch. "Cut South again... Let's see if she took the bait." Richard dutifully turns the tank left at the next intersection and begins moving back towards the main boulevard.

"Careful..." You warn, opening the hatch as you come to the corner. "Slow- I don't want to blunder right into them..." You say carefully as you pop your head and shoulders out of the turret- You don't hear her tracks and, as the turret rounds the corner, you see why.

Less than a hundred feet down the road you see the Tiger II stopped at an intersection, angled into it with her gun pointing north- Erika sitting up outside the hatch- the gun is pointed down a side road. Evidently she'd decided to try to ambush you, but had gone a few streets too far.

For a second, you both stare at each other and you swear that you both blink at once. Then in unision you drop into your respective turrets. "Stop the tank! TARGET DIRECT LEFT! Thirty yards!" You say as you take the turret controls and begin bringing it around. "Roy- Load the shell!"

"What she- OH!" He says, before reaching into the ready-rack. "Got it!" He says as he turns and rams the shell home. "This one's for you. HVAP UP!" The shell really isn't anything special, except that it's addressed directly to Erika.

"On target!" You call, "Turret is yours, Rose."

There isn't a lot that has to be done- this is practically point-blank range for tank combat.

"Firing." Rose says calmly.
