There's no sense in putting off any future crewmates. Being in a 50 ton moving bunker for extended amounts of time is quite a commitment. You can at least have breakfast and a wash.
You still have a little bit of bread and cheese left, and you quickly scoff it down, before heading into the courtyard to wash yourself. Business as usual, bit of soap from the tub, then taking it and dumping it over yourself. You head back inside after you're dried off to dress, with your favourite leather jacket; the one your father left you before he went missing years ago.

Back into the sunlight, you see your pride and joy waiting outside. She's a real beauty; you'd found her sitting in the Fulda Tank Graves, just rusting away, but there wasn't really anything wrong with her. Abandoned, it seemed, unlike the thousands of other tanks that litter the plains out there.

She's

Who all /thg/ here?

She's a normal size and weight, the standard universal tank. Maybe a little old, but that didn't stop you. You were amazed when you found out all she needed was a bit of fuel and you could drive her right back home.

After that, you needed to replace a lot of the electrical systems, replace much of the radio and the FCS, and do a lot of fixing up, but it was a good thing to do in your free time. God knows you love fixing tanks, but out here the locals rarely had any tanks to fix, and the Tank Hunters would go to a reputable mechanic in town rather than some kid living on the edge of the wastelands.

And then it came time to repaint her. You scrubbed off the rust and the mud to find

False. The Western tanks held the advantage due to one key thing: thermal imaging.
Whoever can see and shoot first survives. Tank battles have always been decided by that simple fact.

>>35843964
>I added a space between the post link and the vote number.

For exactly that reason, you can fil the space with invis characters to bypass the spam filter.

Ergo, invalid vote, but not like it mattered

>>35844020
don't forget 'first hit'. If that first shot misses, well , all of Ivan's 50 buddies now know where you are, and you've got nothing to show for it. Cold War Western tanks were still better in that regard.

>>35844070

I start all my posts with a space there. Also, what 'invisible characters' are you talking about? Some manner of forum coding?

>>35844077
I was thinking about including FCS in there, but I don't know enough about Soviet FCS of the time to know how big of an advantage it was.

>>35844020
They held the advantage in FCS, but soviet armor in the early stages of the cold war was enough to render that first shot advantage invalid in battlefield conditions.

And over time, they improved their FCS too, right around when the yanks finally started getting their act together with composite armor and decent projectiles.

The soviets held the advantage in the beginning, and the yanks pulled it back to a close balance in the middle and end.

But don't start trying to armchair general just because the yanks had halfway decent thermal imaging which could and was rendered ineffective with some bracing MG fire.

>>35844098
well when you vote don't add the space

>>35844100
they were a little behind in getting the gun on target, but were capable of tracking and firing to the same degree the western tanks were, they just didn't have the best optics at the start of the cold war

>>35844098
Who gives a shit how you start all your posts, the QM told you to vote in one very specific way, you didn't and your vote was invalid.

And if you don't know about invisible characters, then thats for the best, they are a problem enough as it is.

With the mud and rust mostly cleaned up, you found an Iron Cross on the side of the turret. You'd been pretty sure before that, but this just confirmed it. Your tank was a Leopard 1.

It's decent enough, really. Armour was a bit thin, but the engine's definitely reliable, and you can definitely get behind the 105mm cannon.
Not to mention that the Leopard 1 was a favourite of Tank Hunters in your area. Replacement parts, add-on packages and even the tanks themselves were aplenty in tank markets, especially in Frankfurt. Being caught between Bayern-Osterreich and The Kingdom of The Rhine meant that there was a lot of German equipment being traded around.

This is what you thought about on your way to the town of Fulda proper, where you were going to find some crew and register yourself as a Tank Hunter.

In which order, though? It might be easier to recruit some crew if you're already a registered mercenary, but inversely it might be easier to convince the THO that you're the real deal if you already had some crew.

>Find crew first
>Register first

>>35844154

You seem overly worked about this. The post contains a number and a link to the referring post. That's all. Whether the criteria stated consider spaces additional characters or not is not your concern. You are not the QM.

Personally, I've always just thought the whole thing East-West 'whose better' was like apples and oranges. two very different design philosophies and intended roles can't be put on a 1-1 easily. NATO tanks were tactically supposed to hold numerically superior waves from defensive positions of a nuclear battle field, Soviet designs were supposed to overrun those positions.

>>35844225
>>Register first

>>35844119
I'm assuming we're around 80.
Don't get me wrong, the Soviet invasion would have swept aside NATO resistance quickly at most points of the cold war. That's why NATO put such a big emphasis on thermal imaging and FCS, so they can see and shoot before they get overwhelmed.

And while the thermal imaging CAN be broken by MG or arty fire, the advantage thermal imaging gives is that you shoot them BEFORE they start laying into you with MG fire, because if they're doing that, they've already spotted you and, more than likely, shot you with something a bit bigger.

What do they tell you about assumptions?

>>35844487
>>35844516
>>35844542

The Leopard 1 was not only built in the sixties, nor is the one we are in likely to be either. We are likely in a later model leopard 1. I'm guessing an A4, given that heavy tanks were an option. That means that they're probably Leo 2, Challys, and Abrams. That means at least 1980. However, they are known as heavy tanks, implying that they aren't the main tank. This leads one to believe that they were just introduced.
Hence my 1980 comment.

Honestly, we just need a good gunner and a good mechanic. I'm assuming our character is gonna drive.

Well you may as well find some crew first. You hear that it's pretty hard to become a freelancer without a crew to back you up.
You're not exactly sure where to find them or what exactly you can offer them just yet. You have a tank, but since you're not even registered yet, you can't really pay them out of your own salary.

You could go to The Maustrap, where some big league guys from the 11th Black Horse and the Blitzkrieger Battalion hang out.

There's also The Jackboot, which is where you hear a lot of freelancers go for drinks and jobs.

And lastly there's the New York, a bar owned by an American who was a friend of your father's. It's pretty seedy, but you might be able to find some guys for cheap there.

They aren't heavy tanks, but given a post apocalyptic situation, they are significantly heavier than the others, hence why someone could easily rename the heavy tanks.

You park your jeep outside the New York. In front of the place they have a miniature statue of liberty. People say that it's a nice touch, though you don't think there was anyone still alive who had actually seen the real thing. To be fair though, the replica is also actually made of copper.

If one fails we can always fall back on another.

"So, Jack, is there anyone looking for work?" you ask.
"You finally got the bastard running, huh?"
"Please, it's been running since I found out in the tank Graves."
"Haha, yeah. Damn sight seeing that thing drive through town. Anyway, people looking for jobs? There's a few."

He points out a fit woman down the bar. "Sarah Burgess. She's looking to shoot big guns. I hear she's a hunter, but likes cannons. Don't think she minds not getting paid, either, as long as she gets to shoot things."

He points to a man, sitting way in the back in a booth. "That's Michael Weiss. He's a driver, veteran too. Knows his shit more than anyone else in this bar, I'd gamble."

"That there's Erich Kunkel. Guy's in moving and freight, but got let off. I think he'd be good as a loader as long as he gets paid."

"Over there is... ugh," Jack grumbles. "Theodor Marcellus von Grimmelshausen. Cunt insists that he be referred to formally. Of course, you've heard of the Grimmelshausens. That's their heir. Didn't take too well to losing his father and the estate, I think. He's a gunner."

"That girl over there is Susan Lowell. She's a mechanic that came down from Dresden, right at the front. Apparently there was a disagreement between her and her former employers, and she's looking for revenge. She's a driver."

"Last of all, that huge mountain of a man is Robert Linton. He's a loader, apart from that, I don't know shit about him. I think he's from the Dark Riders? Not so sure. Bad news, anyway."

You thank Jack, and think about your options.

>Who do you want to talk to?

>>35845652
Sorry, I don't music culture at all. my turn for Sudoku.

>>35845688
1. Sarah Burgess
2. Michael Weiss
3. Erich Kunkel
4. Susan Lowell

As a reaction picture, it pretty well sums up the Pz61

Save the gaudiest for last

>>35845688

Loader I'm not sure with. I'd probably see what Robert is about, but not counting out Erich if we need it.
I'm not sure I want to deal with either of the gunner choices, but if I had to pick I might go with Sarah.

Sarah , Mike, Erich, Susan. Maybe Robert.we don't need self-entitled asshats for sure.

>>35845773
It is quite literally one of the worst tanks ever built.

Turning on the heater was likely to fire the main gun accidentally.

Using the Radio caused the turret traverse to go haywire.

The NBC protection flat didn't work so the crew had to wear what was basically HAZMAT suits when operating it.

It's electronics were so bad even an old Fiat could boast better wiring.

It. Was. That. Bad.

>>35845811
But she doesn't love big guns..

>>35845818
Dear God... It's worse than Slav shit.

>>35845818
OK. It's the Gremlin of the tanking world, got it. and it makes >>35845783 now hilarious to me. thanks anon.

>>35845688
>Sarah
Because she doesn't give a shit about getting paid
>Michael
Because a vet who knows his shit is always useful
>Erich
Because the other loader is sketch as fucck

And I think that should round it out, right? The PC makes four.

>>35845858
yeah, at least Soviet shit's generally reliable for all it's ugliness. that... that's an abomination against the God of Tanking.

>>35845688
Sarah. Free gunner is awesome.
Susan. Revenge may mean.. freeish if we can go after her target.
Erich Kunkel - Other guy is "Bad news"

>>35845866
Yep, that should do it, unless we want a separate person mechanical shit.

>>35845897
T-54's exploding. T-72's ripping peoples arms off.. and needing to be a midget to drive it. But.. it will apparently move from point a to b.

>>35845949
Oh yes, let's parrot all the stupid myths about Soviet tanks like they're fact, that'll give everyone a good chuckle eh wot.

>>35846031
YES COMRADE GLORIOUS MOTHER COUNTRY TANKS HAVE NO WEAKNESSES ONLY STRENGTHS! DESIGN FLAWS ARE FOR WESTERN CAPITALIST TANKS BUILT FOR PROFIT!

Giving it a once over, I'm thinking that the consensus is...

>Sarah is wanted
Free bitch is free, while still being good enough to be referenced by Jack.
>Susan is wanted
Vengeance is a good plot point. It's totally not because of waifu shit.
>Michael is possibly wanted
Not quite desired over Susan, apparently, but his vet status is wanted.
>Erich is possibly wanted
He isn't as sketch as...
>Robert is maybe sorta on the back burner

>hahahafuckthatdouchebagguy

>>35846031
Well the T-72 has taken off arms. I don't know much about the T-54. I do know that China was getting upset in recent years because their tankers are getting too big for the tanks.

>>35845949
>takes myths as fact
You amuse me.
>>35846031
Indeed.
>>35846056
YES COMRADE! OUR SUPERIOR ARMOR
AND ENGINEERING WILL OUTLAST ALL THE CAPITALISTS PIG-DOGS! THEY NEVER BREAK DOWN, THEIR CREWS JUST DIDN'T SACRIFICE ENOUGH DISSIDENTS TO LEADER STALIN!
>>35846116
CLEARLY THOSE 'VICTIMS' WERE NOT TRUE COMMUNISTS AT HEART!

>>35846150
[DISSIDENT SACRIFICING INTENSIFIES]

>>35846116
Only the early-production models of the original T-72 had those issues with the autoloader, and a good half those cases were just unfamiliarity with the new equipment.

Training and the revision sin the first model upgrade completely eliminated the problem.

T-54s get a bad rap nowadays because they were designed in the mid-late '40s and you can only upgrade a base chassis so much. It's frankly astonishing how much mileage has been gotten out of it as it is.

Well, may as well start with the closest. You pick up your beer and sidle down the bar next to Sarah.
"So, I hear you're looking to shoot big guns," you tell her.
"Yep," she replies.
"I got a big gun you can shoot."
She turns and looks you up and down. "Really, guy? ...well, you got the nads."
You realise what you said. "No, wait, no, fuck, I mean I've got a tank and I'm looking for crew! Crew!" You hear Jack chuckle. "It's a Leo 1, and after I get some crew I'm heading straight to the THO to register as a freelance tank. You in?"
"A Leopard 1? L7 105mm rifled gun?" She doesn't even stop to think. "You bet I'm in. You won't even need to pay me, as long as I get to shoot shit! Thanks a bunch!"
"Haha, yeah," you say. "Alright, you wait here. There's some other people I want to talk to."
"Really, thanks... uh. I didn't catch your name?"
You tell her.
"Thanks a bunch, Rob. I've been wanting to do this for a while."

You then move onto Erich. He's sitting at a table, nursing a beer. You sit across from him.
"Erich, right? I hear you're looking for work."
"What kind of job you offerin'?" he asks.
"I'm looking for a loader."
He cuts you off before you say anything else. "Fifteen percent of payouts. I assume you're a freelancer?"
"Yeah, I'm a freelancer."
"You get me for fifteen percent. Take it or leave it."

>Take it or leave it?

>>35846215
>Take it

>>35846215
>Take it.

>>35846215
>Take it
If we do this, we have another 35 percent to use until we get half of the cut. I'm good with that.

>>35846215
>leave it
We can get better if we hold out until we get that license, no need to take the first deal offered.

>>35846215
>Take it
I'm surprised he didn't ask for 20.

>>35846215
8 percent
Haggling, people.

>>35846320
>take it or leave it

LETS HAGGLE!

That would be in the leave it category.

>>35846330
Supporting. If he's unwilling to haggle move on.

>>35846215
>Take it
's a fair deal. plus, this guy don't seem in the haggling mood.

>>35846215
Take it.

>>35846215
>offer 8%, settle for 12%

Accepting the first offer without discussion is a great signal flare that we are a newbie.

>>35846433
Finally, someone else who knows how to negotiate.

Accepting the initial offer is a way to make them think they can get more out of you.

"You sure we can't negotiate that price a little bit?" you ask.
"Price has already been negotiated. Four man tank, right? By all rights, I should be taking twenty-five, and I heard that girl say she'll do it for free. I could be taking a third of the profits and it'd still be even. As it is, I'm pretty desperate. Fifteen is as low as I'll go."
You think for a moment. "Alright, fine. Fifteen percent it is. Welcome to the team."
"No need to welcome me. I'll be upfront with you, when I get enough buck for my bang, I'm out, alright? I'll do the job, but I'm not looking to die out in the frontier."
"That's... fine, then," you say. Couldn't really blame the guy, he looks like he's sitting in some tough shit.

Well, now you just need a driver.

You walk over to the booth housing Susan Lowell after grabbing yourself another beer. She starts speaking before you even sit down.
"You're putting together a crew, then?" she asks.
"Yeah," you reply, sliding into the seat. "What, can everyone in the bar hear me?"
"Yes," she says, deadpan.
You sigh. "Driver, right?"
"And mechanic. Honestly, I think Michael Weiss over there is a better choice. He'll need some convincing, but he knows how this shit works, and I hear he's a good mentor. Drove with a legendary tank ace half a decade back. I'll humour you, then."
"Right. Got any experience with Leopard 1s?"
"Loads of fixing them up, not much for driving them though. I used to drive an M60 though?"
"Well what about your rate?" you ask, realising you don't know the difference in driving them.
"Let's say twenty-five percent, and I'll fix your tank up for you too?" she grins.

"Well you heard what Eirch said. Fifteen percent?"
"Unlike him, I'm not desperate. Twenty-three."
"Eighteen."
"Twenty-two, and I'll help with the mechanic work."
"Twenty, and I'll help you sort out any shit you have with the guys out in Dresden."
This gives her pause. "What, really?"
"Sure. If that's alright, I mean?"
"Well, yeah, I guess." She offers her hand and you take it. "Twenty percent per payout, I'll help with mechanic work and you help me sort shit in Dresden." You shake. "Should've offered that in the beginning though, I would've done fifteen percent if you'd have done that for me."
"Oh, well," you say. She just laughs.

You gather up your new crew around Erich's table, since he seems the least willing to move.
"Hey, welcomes to the crew everyone, meet your new crewmates." You proceed to introduce everyone to each other. "We're going to be working closely together, so let's get along. I'm the commander of this little outfit. Got any problems, concerns or tips, talk to me. Anyway, let's round up and head to the THO to get registered, alright?"

You head for the door, letting your crew out first, but before you leave, Jack calls out. "What's the name of your team, Rob?"

But then you just make it fetish bait for NTR faggots.

>>35848084
you can get people who are willing to be civil about being outvoted and not take banter too seriously, but it's the exception rather than the norm sadly.

You stop at the door and give it some thought. "Well, Jack," you say. "I've always had a name figured for when I started a Tank Hunters legion. I want to call it the Edelweiss Brigade." You turn to your new crew. "What do you guys think? Edelweiss Brigade?" Erich just shrugs, indifferent. Susan shakes her head with a half suppressed grin and Sarah smiles widely, giving you a thumbs up. "Alright, it's decided. We're the Edelweiss Brigade."
Theodor von Grimmelshausen raises his glass from the booth he was sitting in. "May your travels be glorious, Nobel White Brigade!" he calls out.
"Uh, thanks," you tell him. "Good luck to all of you too." Michael Weiss gives you a respectful nod from his corner, and then you leave.

Susan immediately hops in the driver's seat and thumbs the starter.
"Shotgun!" Sarah calls as she hops in. Erich quietly and dutifully climbs into the back.
"Hey!" you say. "This is my jeep!"
"I don't get to drive a jeep often," says Susan. "Can I drive it? Please?"
