> No thanks, I got work.

“No thanks, I’ve got work.” Winona nods, understanding of your busybody behavior. “Have fun at the race tracks, okay?”

“Will do!” says Winona as she chews on some omelette.

With that, you raise your hand to signal Denise. She arrives on the Kettenkrad and hands you a helmet. “Hilda will meet us at the Office,” says Denise. You climb up onto the Kettenkrad’s back, then hold on. She propels the tracked motorcycle forward.

-

“Hi, Hilda!” Denise opens the door to see Hilda having moved into the office with her own office. It sits across from Denise, meaning that the Office is now suddenly a bit more crowded. At least Denise will have somebody to talk to and play around with while you work. Hilda is currently checking finance logs by eye, having put on some reading glasses to ease her sight.

You sit down at your desk, sighing deeply. “I have any new letters?” Denise opens her mouth. “That aren’t love letters?” She shakes her head. You look to the pile of love letters on your desk, then sigh again. Ugh. “Denise, could you do me a really big favor?”

“You want me to dictate rejection letters for you?” she asks.

“Please.” She nods, taking up the love letters. “Make it polite, don’t give them too much hope though.” Denise nods respectfully, moving to tear open some envelopes and read them.

Right, you got a bit of time, hm…

You stand next to Denise’s desk, leaning on it a little as she types out the rejection on her computer. “Dear uh…” You look to the letter. “Jen. I appreciate your romantic adoration for me, and while I am indeed single, I am not currently looking for a relationship. As a Naval Studies Officer and a Tankery Officer, my mind must be fully set on leadership. I cannot allow myself to be attached to one person as a result. I am sorry if this causes you any heartache. Yours, Elodie- Actually…” You scratch your chin. “I shouldn’t end it with Yours should I?”

“I would say, Sincerely,” says Hilda.

“Yeah, let’s go with that,” you say. Denise smiles, happily replacing Yours with Sincerely. “Sincerely, Elodie Rosetta Zumwalt.”

Denise gasps, looking at you. “Your middle name is Rosetta!? That’s so cuuu-“

“Keep typing,” you say. She nods, hurrying to finish up, giggling. Ugh, it’s not that embarrassing of a middle name. There’s a knock at your door. “Come in.”

Stepping in now is- THE CAPTAIN. You immediately click your heels and stand at attention. Denise and Hilda as well stand up at attention. Captain Spruance smiles happily, folding her arms. “At ease, everybody.” She smiles at you in particular. “How are you doing, Lieutenant, settling in fine?”

“Yes, ma’am.” You place your hands on your hips. “Hilda is settling into her job well, and Denise has been a valuable help. Is there something you needed?”

“Oh, I’m just here to look around, don’t mind me!” She’s so tiny and yet YOU CAN’T JUST NOT MIND HER. Ugh! Uh- uhm. What do you do? Y- you’re not prepared for the Captain visiting your Office! Y- EVERYTHING IS SO DIRTY!

You immediately scoot into your chair, smiling at her. “Well, do take a seat, Captain! I was uh- we were just doing uh-“ The Captain walks around the Office, checking out every nook and cranny. “We were doing our jobs as all, nothing to be suspicious about or anything?”

“Why would I need to be suspicious?” she asks suspiciously. FUCK. She giggles a little. “Relax, Lieutenant, I’m just joshing you. What do you have to do today?”

You blink. “Well, yesterday, I had to direct the new imports to the above deck supply depot, so I just gotta sign off on those right now, file them away.” She nods, understanding. “Other than that, there is always more Logistics work to do, I’m sure you know how it is.”

“Well, I happened to be Naval Studies Agriculture,” says Captain Spruance. Really? You blink, taking one look up and down her tiny body. She certainly doesn’t have the land for it if you know what you’re talking about. “So no, I don’t really know.”

Okay, she doesn’t know a thing about your job, great, awesome. “Oh, Lieutenant, you think you could do me a favor?”

“What’s that?” you ask.

“Agriculture has been pushing papers through trying to get new tractors to replace their old ones, they’re falling apart. Do you mind sorting all that out, it should only take like a couple of hours. I’ll have the papers faxed to you,” she says.

… people still use fax?

“Alright, Captain.”

“Great! In the meantime…” She rolls her sleeve up, checking her watch. “I’m gonna pick up some Chick-Fil-A, I’ll grab you guys something and be back. Laters!” She steps out of the office, happy as can be.

Denise looks over at you. “Phew, that was close.”

“CLOSE NOTHING!” You drop some pens on Hilda’s and Denise’s desks. “WE’RE WORKING NOW!” You point to the Fax machine. “Just as soon as the Fax machine kicks in!” It screeches loudly as it slowly farts up a piece of paper out of its gullet.

… you wonder why people even use fax anymore.

The Captain returns, sipping on a soda as she carries a few bags of fried chicken, fries, and burgers. “I’m back, y’all! And-“ She spies the three of you working desperately to get the work done. “Oh. You’re still working.” She starts to drop off food for everyone, first for Denise, then for Hilda, and finally for you. A burger, some chicken tenders, and those waffle fries. “How is it?”

You look up at her, rubbing your eyes a bit. “It’s mostly tedious but the format for these forms at least is easy to file through. We should be done early actually thanks to my girls here.”

“Well, alright,” says the Captain. “Keep up the good work!” You’re about to say yes, when your phone rings.

“Well… I mean, it’s a nice boost, I guess. I’m not gonna question where it came from. I’m gonna put the money towards restoring the King Tiger though, we could really use a heavy hitter in our lineup. Listen, Elodie, when do you get off work?”

You check your watch. “Couple of hours, why?”

“Could you do me a big favor and help me hunt down a crew? I think if I get a bit more money together, and I can, we can have the KT together by Friday, and if we do that, we get two crews in the Panzer IV and the KT, we might be in with a chance against Sherbrooke.

Regarding our M/42, i find something that might be interesting.

first, there were exist some trial to upgunning this tank with high velocity 75mm
>Proposals were made for the lengthening of the 75mm or replacing it with the newly developed 5,7cm Pvkan m/43 anti-tank gun. Instead of these options, it was decided to start the development on a new turret, which would be able to mount a high velocity 75mm gun.
>The new turret had 60mm frontal and 30mm side armor and was armed with the 7,5cm Pvkan m/43 anti-tank gun. But its most interesting feature was a 3 round magazine for an “automatic rammer”, that would allow the tank fire 3 rounds in short bursts. A mock-up of the turret was made and at some point after that a functional prototype was created as well, but by 1946, the tests had bad results and the project was cancelled.

http://ftr.wot-news.com/2014/04/18/swedish-tanks-part-vii-strv-m42/

And there is always Strv 74 which is based on this chassis, but i pretty certain it won't legal.

>>48212873
it says that the results were bad though so i'm not sure if that's a good idea. Unless we use it for single shot.

>>48212873
And there is open-topped Tank Destroyer version (which i mistake as closed casemate at first). It sees some service before war and armed with longer 75 mm too.
But as i said, open-topped. the roof is available BUT that was post-war modification.

These work pretty well, how is the penetration on the high velocity 75mm?

> “Sure, I can do it.”

“Sure, I can do it,” you say.

“Would you? That would be amazing! You’re a lifesaver, Elodie! I’ve already got Iris looking out too, hopefully her popularity might pay back some dividends if you catch my meaning. Try not to force anybody to do it, alright? I want this to be a volunteer force, like the Mobile Infantry! Got that?”

“Alright,” you say. “On the bounce then?”

“On the bounce!” And with that, she hangs up.

You step back into your office. “What was that about?” asks the Captain as she chews on some chicken, slobbering the sauce all over her cheeks.

“It was my Tankery stuff,” you say. You plop yourself down into your seat. “Griselda wants me to find a new crew or two to fill in for the Panzer IV and the King Tiger that we’re hoping to restore by the next match.”

“I see,” says the Captain.

You look over at the Captain. “You wouldn’t happen to know anybody-“

well, in Strv 74 case it got pretty crappy armor to compensate weight limit.
>Turret front had a huge gun mantlet, which was 20-30mm thick and covered 20mm of armor underneath, the turret sides and rear were only 20mm thick as well.

Not much to brag here except way more better gun than M/42 originally had.

You sigh, pulling up more forms to sign off on. At least you have fried chicken and fries to keep your belly full. But now the idea that you have to go and recruit people for the cause is going to eat at you. Where would you even start? You barely know anybody on this ship outside of the Tankery team and select parts of Naval Studies. Who would you even begin to ask to give up their weekends for something that could end up in total loss!?

Ugh, it’s racking your brain just thinking about it.

Forget it, you need to work, and you need to work now. Do this as fast as possible then you can worry about crew recruitment!

“Thanks, Captain.” You salute her, and she salutes you back.

“Dismissed, good luck with your tanking stuff.” And with that, she leaves.

Hilda nods. “I should go too, I gotta settle things financewise with the tankery team.” Fair. And with that, Hilda takes her leave too.

You hold your hands together in front of your chest, watching as students walk out from their summer classes. Most are just stragglers at this point, or clubs making their exit. “Hi, I’m Elodie Zumwalt!” A few girls walk past you, smiling at you and waving hi. They certainly know you. “Would you like to…” And they keep walking.

Great.

A few girls walk up to you. “Elodie Zumwalt?” one of them asks. You smile at them.

“Hi, maybe you girls would love to join the Tankery team?” you ask.

They all look at each other, confused. “Which one, Gertrude or Griselda’s.”

“Griselda’s,” you say.

“Oh, um.” They awkwardly shake their heads. “No thanks, sorry.” What!? They keep on walking.

It occurs to you now that with the way things are going in the Tankery team, maybe people don’t want to join because they don’t want to waste their time on a team that doesn’t have much chance at winning the playoffs, much less against any bigger rivals. If you were winning big earlier, maybe more people would be scrambling but this?

Ugh…

“Elodie Zumwalt.” Walking up to you now was Miss McPherson. “I’m guessing Griselda sent you to recruit people.”

“Yeah,” you say. An idea goes off. “How did you recruit people back in the day?”

She shrugs. “Well, I was much younger and much hotter back in the day, figure it out.” … um. “I’m joking, that’s a joke. Honestly, the LGA team never really had a problem for recruitment back when I was your age. We were a pretty popular team, so we usually had a big wave of recruits every year or so. We actually had to weed people out.”

How about we DON'T get any delinquents? We don't have anyone with charisma enough to keep them in line, and we have enough trouble with the poles, no need for another team like that (most likely in ANOTHER misused heavy tank).

> “You wouldn’t happen to know anybody who’ll do Tankery for extra credit?”

Miss McPherson rubs her chin, then smiles. “No.”

…

She shrugs. “Most people in summer school are already struggling to stay on the ship. Honestly, I don’t think it’s up to me to distract them with Tankery. You know, Elodie, I’m slated to be LGA’s History and Moral Philosophy program leader for the next few years for good reason, I believe firmly that you will find better and more dedicated tankers in volunteers rather than those who act as mercenaries for pay, or worse those that you conscript.”

You blink. “A-… is this gonna be on a test?”

“Yes,” she says. “Be prepared to take notes during lecture.” She pulls her books up to her chest, sighing. “However, just this once, I may be able to help you. There’s a group of students due to be culled from LGA’s student body if they don’t pass their summer classes.” You smile. Yes, a chance! “But- I want you to convince them to join Tankery on their own terms, not by yours.”

“Okay, who are they?”

Miss McPherson leads you into a classroom where five girls sit around their desks, entertaining themselves with a game of cards. They wear very short skirts, rolled up sleeves on their school blouses opened up to reveal dark tank tops, and their hair is scrunched up and messy.

Oh yeah, delinquents. They all glare at you as you step inside. “Officer O’Keefe.” The Hall Monitor guarding them looks up from her phone. Miss McPherson smiles at her. “Go ahead and take a break, we want to take to these girls.”

“Awright, but no fecking funny business you lot.” She steps out of the room.

Miss McPherson knocks on the chalkboard, getting the delinquent’s attention. “Girls, listen up. This is Elodie Zumwalt.” They all look at you funny. “She’s got something to say to you lot. Elodie?”

They all slouch back in their chairs, watching you.

Okay, it’s just five measly delinquents. Hmph. They don’t seem interested. They probably already know you’re here to recruit them.

Right, we got a tie.

1. "Hmph, Miss McPherson, these girls probably aren't the lewd girls I'm looking for."
2. "Let's cut to the chase, I need lewdness and you need lewdness. Let's be lewd."

“Alright, listen up girls. Let’s cut to the chase. The NATO Tankery team, led by Griselda Pool. Not Gertrude, Griselda. We want some extra muscle and you probably want to spend some your time outside of this classroom, we might as well make it productive and fun.” You grab the podium, looking sternly at all of them. “So, what do you say?”

…

One of them raises her hands, the one wearing a choker and a black cardigan. “Yes?” you ask.

“Do we get to ride in one of them panzers?” she asks.

“Yes,” you say. “Any other questions?” They seem curious now. Maybe you’ve gotten through to them. Another one raises her hand, the one wearing thick glasses and a baseball cap. “Yeah, you. What’s up?”

“You have places for our bikes?” … bikes?

“Um, I guess we can arrange something.” And the third, judging by how everyone is sitting around her, probably their leader. She has ashy brown hair with black highlights with thick leather gloves and a brown leather jacket. “Yeah, you?”

“How long we gotta do practice for?”

“Well, practices are on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but we are on in a phase where basically we are living out of our tanks instead of in our dorms so… it’s technically every day,” you explain.

They start murmuring and discussing amongst themselves. Once they stop discussing, they look back to you. “Is there a catch to this? I know NATO does the whole thing on the weekends and all but this seems a little… too good?”

You'll be expected to behave yourself, cooperate with the team and follow orders. What you do and how you behave on your own time is your own prerogative, but when you get in a tank you are part of a team and we'll expect you to act like it. If that doesn't suit you then tankery isn't for you.

“You’ll be expected to behave and to follow orders. Also, there will be people shooting at you with very big guns but since you’re in a tank, you’re well-protected, that’s the catch.”

They lean in to discuss things amongst themselves again. After a few moments of deliberation, they nod. “Alright, we’ll do it.” Your chest swells with pride. Yes, you’ve recruited a crew! “Where do we have to meet up?”

“Tankery HQ every Tuesday and Thursday. But we should all be over in Mount Montagne for a campout,” you explain. “Meet us there, meet some of the other crews, okay?” You smile happily. “So, before I go, can you introduce yourselves?”

The leader thumps her chest. “I’m Serina. This here is Karina, Francine, Ash, and Kyoko.”

“Nice to meet you all,” you say.

Miss McPherson nods, checking her watch. “We’ll walk you down, your afterschool detention is just about up.” The girls gasp, immediately standing up and picking up their helmets and jackets. Oh, oh, motorcycles! Now you get it! You didn’t get their surnames though.

The girls start up their bikes, and they were absolutely FUCKING loud. And only one of them, driven by Ash, was even a Harley. There was a sporty bike, some classic looking ones, Serina’s own bike looked even older than those ones. “This one?” she explains to you. “It’s a Triumph Tiger T110. Unlike Ash’s Harley, it can actually go about ten miles without needing spare parts.”

“Fuck you, Serina!” yells Ash as she rides off.

Serina holds out her hand. “We’ll meet at your place, alright? This better be worth it.”

“It will be if you show up. I should thank you for at least considering us.”

“Yeah, yeah,” says Serina. “Later.” She kickstarts her bike to life, then rides on out with the rest of the Delinquents. Great, LGA has its own little motorcycle gang, just great.

Miss McPherson folds her arms. “I trust you’ll take care of them.”

“Yeah, we will,” you say.

“Good.” She looks out to the road and squints out to them as they fade into the distance. “I worry for all of my students, I hope they can turn it around. I know Academyships aren’t the most forgiving of academic institutions, but I believe they have potential.”

You nod. “Sure they do. You heading home?”

“Yeah. I’ll be around tomorrow though to help teach practical exercises,” she says. “In the meantime, I trust you can find your way around. Elodie.” And with that, she leaves you alone.

Hm, day’s about to end it seems. Feels like dinner time too.

But just as that happens, you see a Crusader tank arrive on the scene. Poking out of the hatches are a girl with fiery pink-ish red hair, another with orange hair done in a neat bun, and Winona herself. The tank stops up, and Winona hops out. “Thanks for the ride!” She smiles at you. “Hey, Ellie! Meet my newest friend, Rosie and Pekoe.” Oh, these must be Rosehip and Orange Pekoe from St. Gloriana. Orange Pekoe politely waves, while Rosehip grins, giving a thumbs up. “We had one heck of a day at the track.”

“Really? That’s great,” you say.

“Yeah. Denise told me you’d be around here, thought I’d give you a ride back to the tank,” says Winona.

I have a question. Does Elodie actually go to school?

We only took a vacation once and we are low on CP, we will probably not take one very soon.

>>48216372
Technically speaking, Naval Studies Students follow the same academic scheduling that General Studies students do, which is that they take the summer off from classes.

And even then, most of their classes are online based to save them time from having to attend lecture when they should be working. The only lecture classes are for subjects that require practical experience such as welding, electrics, driving, etc. or are mandatory across all Majors such as History and Moral Philosophy.

>>48216372
It's summer

> “Actually, can we pick up Denise?”

“Sure! Hop on!” Winona helps you up onto the Crusader tank, where you sit in the turret with Orange Pekoe. Whereas Winona sits in the hull MG spot next to Rosehip. She looks back at you, grinning. “Where’s Denise gonna be at?”

“I’ll text her to meet us at one of the subway entrances,” you say. “I’ll guide you there.”

Rosehip looks back, grinning. “We will retrieve your friend in record time!”

“Oh, no, you don’t need to-“ The suddenly whiplash from the Crusader accelerating silences. It goes speeding down the road, throwing up sparks and asphalt as it goes rocketing down to meet with Denise.

-

-

“Whoa!” Denise looks up to see your hair completely mangled and your clothes almost blasted off from the wind. In hindsight, you should’ve stayed inside with Orange Pekoe. Oh well. Rosehip checks her watch, smiling.

“Hehe! 35.6 seconds!” says Rosehip. “Zumwalt-san, Griffiths-san, I’ve only been here a day and I have already conquered your roads!”

“Please, I’ll show you what for tomorrow after work, Rosie!” yells Winona. Denise climbs on, and then pulls out a hairbrush. She starts to brush your hair down to make it presentable.

“Please tell me you have good news,” you ask.

She frowns. “Sorry, nobody answered back on the ads yet. But I got them all out if that’s what you’re asking!” Eh, that’s good enough you guess. You’re not expecting an answer to ads the same day you put them up. That’s just stupid.

Rosehip looks back to you. “Zumwalt-san! I shall drive you back to your camp! Then I shall meet with your crews, I have always wanted to meet the team that beat Ooarai Girls Academy in the ITL World Tournament! NOW IT’S TIME TO-”

That was Gertrude Pool's ITL team. I'm with Griselda Pool's NATO team. Please don't confuse them, Griselda will be sad.

Actually, don't talk about Gertrude unless Griselda brings her up. Its an unfortunate subject.

Any suggestions or ideas as to earn the respect of our new recruits?

>>48216648
Beat them in racing using kettenkrad.

>>48216648
Get ourselves a Brough Superior and become a delinquent because they see us as "The Establishment"

>>48216648
actually hitting the flyboys with our tank would probably help.

> Brace yourself.

You grab onto the Crusader’s turret, while Denise hangs onto you. “-UNLEASH THE CRUSADER’S TRUE POWER!” It goes blasting off again, nearly knocking you and Denise out of your holdings. Orange Pekoe meanwhile simply sips tea, uncaring of the sudden speed or wind in her face.

“Whooo!” Winona raises her arms up. “Faster, faster!”

Please no

You arrive at the makeshift camp, thankfully not dead. The Crusader wheels up amongst all the tanks covered up in leaves, tarps, and tenting to disguise themselves from aerial attacks. All the crews who have presently arrived are in awe of the Saint Gloriana Crusader belonging to Rosehip and Orange Pekoe (though you know for a fact that Pekoe utilizes a Churchill VII in combat.) You all dismount and happily meet with Griselda. “Ooooh, what a motley little team you have here!” Rosehip says.

Orange Pekoe smiles politely. “Such a batch of misfits.”

“Ohohoho, it’s charming!” Rosehip takes Griselda’s hand, shaking it. “You must be Griselda Pool, we have heard of you!”

Griselda blinks, surprised. “Have you?”

“Yep! Assam-sama praised Lafayette Girls Academy during her transfer visit here, she said you were a very bright mind waiting to be developed!” Griselda blushes a little, embarrassed at that.

“Well, thank you,” says Griselda. “I’m sure you know Elodie and Iris.”

“We have,” says Orange Pekoe.

“Well, uh, feel free to look around. Dinner’s on so if you want something to eat.” Rosehip rubs her hands together, happily moving to the food. You see that the Delinquents have arrived it seems, apparently talking with Iris about her Churchill. Already seeking initiative it seems.

You walk up to Iris and Serina walking with each other. “Serina, I see you’re introducing yourself already.”

Iris nods. “I was just showing these new girls around the Churchill tank. I already told them that we have the Panzer IV available and the KT under restoration.” She sighs a little, groaning a bit. “But of course, they want the King Tiger.”

“Just saying,” says Serina. “We want the best tank, and we hear the King Tiger is the best.”

“Well, that’s subjective,” you say. “But I guess having the KT is more valuable right now than the Panzer IV maybe. Do you guys have any questions or anything?”

“Do they allow bikes in Tankery matches?” asks Ash. You shake your head. “Fuck. No motorized recon then, Serina.”

“That’s stupid,” says Serina. “How else are we gonna screen our King Tiger?”

“Um. With the rest of your teammates,” says Iris. Well, their hearts are in the right place you guess.

Serina scoffs. “I’ve seen a few matches. Y’all aren’t much to look at. Excepting you, Ellie, and GrisGris, rest of the team isn’t really up to par.”

“That’s rude,” says Iris. “I don’t imagine the rest of the team would appreciate hearing that. They’re just as important to the cause as Elodie or I.”

King Tiger was a boondoggle that wasted resources that could've gone to producing a lot more IV Ausf. H, instead of "super tanks" and the crappy J models as filler.

>>48217534
>Remain neutral
They both have a point. However, even despite being outnumbered and at times outgunned we pulled out ties where we should have lost.

>Also maybe shill the Panzer IV, they need to know that while in armor and armament it is 'the best', their bikers. So I think they will enjoy speed. The panzer IV and the M36 are better fits

>>48217591
More or less this. While Serina does have a point, we all grow differently, and it's up to those that have grown to teach the others. And so on and so forth.

And, when you get down to brass tacks, barring GrisGris' crew and Stack, I think we're all rookies here, right?

>>48217591
I'll back this.

>>48217665
So far I think the delinquents are at least being innovative with their ideas. Though the idea of big gun=very good like the poles is an issue. I feel that there is something but we will have to see at practice

>>48217710
Bikers does not equal speed freaks.

>>48217892
Maybe if they can beat Gris in the Pz IV we let them choose. Then we can get a sense of how determined they are, and if they show the right stuff, regardless of win or lose, they can have the KT.

> “Iris is right. We’re a team, no matter the squabbles.”

“Iris is right, Serina. We may not be the best team and we may sometimes have squabbles. But a makeshift team is still a team. We’ve been through a lot already, and I’m sure everyone knows their place. And I’m sure you’ll learn yours too.”

Iris nods. “And maybe I should recommend you start with the Panzer IV instead, it is far more mobile than the KT at least, depending on how its restored at least.”

Serina sighs. “We’ll see at practice. Though, you did mention something about boys, what’s up with that?”

“What isn’t up with them,” says Iris. “Don’t worry about that.”

Serina blinks. “Are you sure, because-“

“Don’t worry about it,” you say. You’re sure that if you mention the boys divebombing you with paint bombs, they’ll want to leave. Just keep them in the dark for now.

And with that, you decide to join your crew at the campfire for dinner. “Well, tomorrow’s our practical practice,” says Stack as she puts down a helping of steak onto your plate. “That means we gotta be ready to show what we’re learning in time for Sherbrooke.”

“What does it matter, we’ll tie it at best,” says Ingrid.

“Aw don’t say that,” says Winona. “We could totally win, right, Ellie?”

You nod. “Sure, sure.” You could win.

You hope, at least.

What are the condition of the M36 and the Swedish tank. Can we upgrade the 75mm like that guy said earlier in thread?

>>48218201
We need our trump card though, our Nishizumi Hook (before it became prevalent) or to borrow from other sports animu, our 81 squares control, or our freak quick attack. Something which we can pull off in a pinch to secure the victory that nobody else has. We just need to find what ours is.
