You open the door and say, “Yep! Ready to go!” You look down at Nancy’s legs, clad in pantyhose. “Nancy, pantyhose today?”

Nancy nods. “Yep, it’s pretty darn windy out here. Funny how it was hot just yesterday too!”

Lisa says, “Well we are on an academyship that’s moving. Of course the weather’s gonna vary.”

You sigh. “Yeah, I’d honestly prefer if the weather would, you know, stay consistent. At least back in Virginia the leaves fall in the fall, the snow falls in the winter, the rain falls in the spring, and the heat rises in the summer.”

Nancy presses her hands on her cheeks. “I’m more concerned this wind is gonna blow my skirt up!”

Lisa nods. “Yeah, that’ll be a problem.”

Ramirez lifts up her skirt, causing you all to recoil in horror… until she reveals that she’s wearing her gym shorts underneath. She looks at you all like you’re stupid. “You don’t wear your gym shorts underneath?”

Lisa says, “You know I don’t know what’s more impressive, the fact that you thought of that and I didn’t or the fact that you just lifted up your skirt without prompting.”

You shrug. “Whatever, let’s get to school.” You shut the door, then all of you hit the road.

“Oh yeah, Boss. A new list of tanks just came in for purchase. Wanna see ‘em?” asks Lisa.

Wow. All these Swedish tonks. Did their school ship close down or something?

“Sure, might as well.”

Lisa pulls out her smartphone and brings up the Wishlist page of Tankslist. She then hands it off to you. “You don’t have to purchase anything now, but there’ll be a new selection next week.”

Stridsvagn fm/31 (12,000) (Vintage)
LOOK AT THIS SHIT. IT’S GOT FUCKING WHEELS ON IT. YOU SEE THAT? 30 SECONDS BETWEEN TRACK AND WHEEL TRANSFERRAL. ALL TERRAIN. YOU NEED THIS TANK.

Stormartillerivagn m/43 (16,000) (Comp. Spec.)
105mm Howitzer. Casemate assault gun. Reliable enough. Crew of four.

Stridsvagn m/41 SII (12,000) (Comp. Spec.)
Swedish licensed production of the Panzer 38(t) Ausf. S. Thicker armor, better engine. 37mm Gun.

Stridsvagn m/42 (15,000) (Vintage)
Swedish design. 75mm Gun. Crew of four. Reliable, efficient, well protected. What more could you want from it?

Pansarvärnskanonvagn m/43 (12,000) (Comp. Spec.)
I KNOW IT’S JUST A SWEDISH TANK WITH A GERMAN CONVERSION. DON’T READ THE FUCKING FINE PRINT NEXT TIME.

Crew of four. New casemate design.


… “Why are they all Swedish?”

Lisa shrugs. “Hell if I know.”

I don't think any of them are what we're looking for.

Plus we still need to comp-spec the Churchill.

And upgrade to mk IV so it won't be as derpy.

>>28341043
>fucking laughing at us when we mention it.

That is so true. Probably best to scope out for museum curators or private collectors, then attach a condition that it won't be used for tankery for... eh... as long as it takes until we win the tourney, I guess?

Pretty much the only problem with letting it go is some other school using it against us.

>>28341068
> Wishlist a tank?
> N

We can ask for Octavia's opinion later though.

>>28341100

Actually, the Stridsvagn m/42 is a fairly fast 75mm gun and the Stormartillerivagn is a nice 105mm Howitzer.

>>28341068
I'd say that only m/42 is worth picking from this list, assuming we'd like to get it.

>>28341135

They really aren't but there is better out there and we might get enough money to buy one of them this week. Who knows?

>>28341146
Well yeah. But baby steps.

>>28341153
Kinda. It's 75 is like the PzIII and short barreled Stug 75's, not the long, so armor pen isn't that great. Plus it's vintage and we don't need another fixer upper.

>>28341147
I would be ok with this.

>>28341068
N. None of these look particularly useful, and we still have more tanks than crews, I believe.

> N

“Let’s come back to these later. I’m not exactly educated in the art of Swedish tanks.”

Lisa nods. “Alright then,” she withdraws her smartphone into her pocket. “Still, quite surprised the Swedish had tanks during the war.”

You say, “Oh you’d be surprised!” You actually didn’t know that either, but hell, you’re not gonna let them know that.

True to your words earlier, it is windier than Chicago outside. You press down the front of your skirt so it doesn’t flap around like a 1920’s whore, as do the rest of your staff. Gotta stay modest and decent after all, this ain’t no party school.

You arrive at the entrance of the campus. You check the time, plenty of time before class actually.

>>28341266
>> Take a walk around

>>28341001
Don't sell the T28, it's the perfect anchor. Nothing is going to penetrate the front of the tank, and the only way to take it out is by going for the tracks, and it has 4 of them.

Just have your TDs hang back and pick off any tank that tries to take out the T28, have mediums screen to the left and right to prevent any enemy forces flanking the T28 and use the Churchill as a secondary anchor so that you can bolster a flank that is getting overwhelmed.

>>28341441
I'm seeing a 12 mile range on the 105, but realistically how far could we expect an amateur crew to be accurate at?

> Take a walk around

You bid farewell to your crews and decide on taking a walk around the campus square. It may be windy as fuck, but hell it’s refreshing after the past few days of hotter than hell. You pass by the statue of the Marquis de La Fayette, then you remember your math quiz. You quickly walk back, spin the spurs on his boots, then continue on.

At that point, you see O’Hara and O’Brian.

You wave and walk over to them. “O’Hara, O’Brian! Good to see you!”

O’Hara nods to you, her characteristic hardiness is back on her face. “Pool. Nice to see you too. Need something?”

You shrug. “Oh, just thought I’d say hi. You have a fun time last night?”

O’Hara is about to say something, when she quickly looks over at O’Brian. “Don’t say anything you cunt.”

O’Brian wakes up. “What? What happen?”

“WERE YOU SLEEPING AGAIN!?”

“Oh shut up! Did you Pool shag already ‘cuz-“

“WE DID NOT! YOU FUCKING CUNT! GET OUT OF HERE!”

With that, O’Brian shrugs then walks away. O’Hara sighs and looks back at you. “So, how are you doing then?”

Amatuer? Probably half a mile.

I remember one of the German tank aces saying something along the lines of never engage more than 1Km out or something.

>>28341490
The typical engagement range of WW2. Which was around 800 metres, if I remember correctly.

Do you have any idea how rare T28's are? I highly doubt you'll be seeing another soon. Armor is great too.

Park the chruchill against its arse and nothing can penetrate the thing. It was designed to break the goddamned Siegfried line with force and armor alone, but was so massive it couldn't be hauled across the Atlantic in time. That's how awesome it is.

1 km is possible with WW2 era equipment, if you're using a long range cannon and use a german FERO (still used in the Leopard 2 line as an emergency sight). However this requires a well trained crew to pull off succesfully.

Accuracy drops rapidly at ranges beyond that without computer aided gunnery

“I’m doing quite well, O’Hara. Thanks. What about you?”

O’Hara crosses her arms. “Oh, I could be better I suppose. Pinkerton and O’Bannon have been assigned as part of my Shift actually.”

“That can’t be good.”

She shakes her head. “On the contrary, they’re quite efficient. They’re just a bunch of cunts.” She points at you. “They seem to have a bone to pick with you in particular.”

You sway to the left a bit, shrugging. “Well, I mighta tattled on them a few days back.”

“Ah, if there’s anything a Hall Monitor hates, it’s a snitch.”

You say, “What’s done is done. Besides, you can at least control them, can’t you?”

O’Hara says, “I only say where they’re going to patrol. I’m not a Nazi.” She sighs. “Anyway, Pool, I truly did have a bit of fun last night. Gettysburg is a real fun movie!”

You say, “Well, I’m not as educated on the Civil War, plus you know, it’s four hours long.”

O’Hara nods. “Ah, you probably wouldn’t like the Director’s Cut of Gods and Generals then.” She waves you off. “Anyway, I wanted to tell you something-“

A very convenient and sudden gust of wind then decides it hates you by blowing your skirt up. You quickly push it down, but not before you gave O’Hara a very good look at your tighty whities. You chuckle nervously, blushing.

O’Hara’s redder than a sunset.

“Uh- I- Eh. Yeah-“ she stammers, then quickly points behind her. “I should go.” She quickly runs away like a track star, knocking an unfortunate freshman onto the ground.

You walk up to the freshman. “You okay?” You almost help her up, but she gets up on her own, dusting herself off. She looks over at you, then smiles. Yeah, she’s fine. You pat her on the shoulder. “Well, hey, that looked like a nasty fall.”

She simply waves you off. Oh, that’s fine. She then picks her up her stuff and offers her hand.

…

Oh OH, she wants to shake your hand. You shake it, looking at her a bit curiously.

“You don’t say much, do you?” you say. She simply shakes her head. Well, at least you know she ain’t deaf.

However, she surprises you by saying her name, “Loretta Niven.” She simply gestures her hand and then slowly says, “Sorry… I have a stutter.”

You nod. “You seem fine.” She simply shrugs at that. Welp, ain’t gonna argue that. “Anyway, my name is Gertrude Pool. It’s nice to meet you, Loretta.”

You check the time. OH BOY TIME FOR MATH. You quickly wave goodbye to Niven then head to class.

You find your staff at the usual table and of course, sit down next to Nancy.

“Hey, President. How’s it going?”

“Good, except I got a D on my math quiz.”

Lisa snickers. “Knew it.”

You frown at her. “Oh come on, Lisa, I’m not good at math! The only arts I know are the Liberal ones that hipsters get in college in an attempt to look cool.”

Lisa smiles, raising her hands defensively. “Hey, I didn’t say anything. But you know, math’s gonna be real important in Tankery.”

“You know, we got practice today. I reckon math isn’t going to factor in though, Lisa.”

Lisa shrugs. “You never know.”

Nancy says, “I’m a little nervous though, especially if we’re going to be fighting other tanks.”

You wave her off. “Relax, Nancy. Captain Dubois isn’t going to throw us into the grinder that fast. She’s an Army Captain! Not a Marine.”

Ramirez says, “Is there a difference?”

You say, “Besides. Being in a tank is the safest place you can be. Short of the Churchill or maybe the KV-1S, we’re probably the most well armored thing in the team.”

Nancy nods. “Alright, I mean, aren’t you nervous? With the whole, tournament thing and the match with Heinlein?”

Old tanks didn't require much math to operate. Their gunnery sight just had a reticle printed on it that approximated ballistics and drop at a particular distance, like a regular old rifle scope.

For range finding, count the time between the flash and hearing the boom of the enemy tank's cannon in "one Mississippi's and times it by 340 meters to determine which dash on the reticle to use.

Or the gunner's reticle would have the approximate width of a tank on it, so you'd square the reticle up on the notches and it would give you a range. All the math and shit was done by the people who designed the tank, the proles operating the thing barely need to know how to read and count on their fingers.

Only the last of these is remotely worth anything. We have a shortage of crews, at the moment. Not tanks. Let's secure a crew (other than the aces) and buy them a tank that fits them, instead of the other way around.

Kitten looks over at you. “Hey, Trudy.” She looks down at your legs. “Ah, thought I missing something. Gotta say, that little space of skin between the skirt and your legs is tasty, Trudy.”

You smile proudly. “Well, thank you, Kitten. If only there were some guys my age in our general proximity who could appreciate it. Boxers would just drop, I’m sure.”

With that, your staff arrive as well. “Hey, President!” says Nancy. “Looks like everyone’s here.”

The crew commanders from all the teams walk up over to you. “Hey, Gertrude,” says Cathy. “We wanted to ask you something.”

“Shoot.”

Cathy says, “We’ve been thinking, and we wanted to paint our tanks!”

Anna nods as well. “Something to get rid of these boring greys and greens and all that.”

Janek looks at you hopefully. “So can we?”

You scratch your chin, thinking on it.

Can they?

Appropriate camouflage only. As funny as a solid gold tank is, it only serves to give away your position.

With that, the characteristic roar of an engine is heard, and you look over at the entrance to the Sports Warehouse. The Sheridan quickly drives in and stops near you. Dubois pops out of the Commander’s hatch. “Afternoon, Pool. Ready for practice?”

You nod and give her thumbs up. “Always ready!”

Dubois smiles, then hops out and stands on top of the turret. “Good, good. Everyone, gather around! Today’s gonna be a real special day.”

All the crews gather in front of the Sheridan, and wait patiently for Dubois to start. They all quiet down.

“Alright, yesterday, your tanks have been fitted with the necessary equipment to make them all Tankery legal. I’m sure you all have done the necessary research of course, and I think it’s time for your very first mock battle!”

> - 10 MORALE ACROSS ALL CREW

Oh boy. Uh… You look over at Nancy. She’s certainly smiling, but her eyes have gotten that thousand yard stare thing again.

Dubois hops down from her tank and begins handing out maps. “These will be your starting positions, report there and once everyone’s in place. We can begin!” Dubois hands you your map. Oh Christ, you’ve never read a map before. At least a PHYSICAL one. “Ready, Pool?”

“Of course I am! This is what we’re training for, isn’t it?” You take the map and look over it. Looks like a map of Marshall Ney Forest. Otherwise, it’s complete gibberish to you. Maybe you should’ve paid attention in Geosystems last year.

“Well, good to see you’re enthusiastic, Pool!” She looks over at all the other concerned crews. “You all can stand to learn something from her,” she says.

They all look at you, briefly putting you on the spot, then they say positives.

“If Gertrude can do it, why can’t we?”

You walk over to your crew. “Everyone ready?”

there is a reason my carreer went Gunner->Loader with the tanks.

Kitten gets to be in a tank, that's good enough as far as I'm concerned.

>>28343562
But no one cares about the loader, I think Kitty deserves some prestige, and the resulting popularity.
..actually, why don't we ask our crew what they want to do?

>>28343568

You mean the thing plenty of NEETs do?

Uh yes, because going outside and getting fresh air is a thing.

"Ramirez! Load and shoot!"

>>28343476

It's been established that Kitten isn't keen on physical exertion.
It's either us or Ramirez who should do the loading since it's been established the both are plenty stronk.

>>28343568
Hey, the butthurt patrol has showed up!

>>28343571

>>28343616
I wasn't aware that Kitten had an A in maths. Because the Gunner by far needs the most in maths.

>>28343638
The need for math as a gunner is blown way out of proportion, even for WW2-era tanks.

>>28343438

But the 122 doesn't have nearly as much armor penetrations. It's a howitzer, not a tank killer.

> Assign them roles.

You point at them as you assign their roles. “Ramirez, you gun. Kitten, loader. Lisa, Driver. Nancy, you’ll co-drive and handle comms. Sound good?”

They all shrug and mutter.

You nod. “Right then. Saddle up, girls!”

Everyone takes their places within the Sherman. With that, Lisa brings the engine to life and drives the Sherman out of the Warehouse.

You’ve all been provided headsets to communicate with each other over the intense engine noise. You poke your head out of the commander’s cupola, along with Nancy poking her head out as well.

You need to remember to get the turret with two hatches, that’ll definitely simplify things. Maybe it’ll get a chance for Kitten to get some air.

Now that you think about it though, which tank did the Rifle team pick since you sold the BT-42?

Eh, you’ll figure it out soon enough.

Nancy guides Lisa to your starting position within some mess of trees. Then, turns the engine off. Now all that’s left is waiting.

Nancy climbs up out of her position and leans back on the turret. She looks over at you and asks, “Think we’ll win?”

“Doesn’t matter if we win, Nancy. What matters most is the learning experience.”

With that, Dubois speaks to everyone over your headsets. “Now that you’re all in place, let me explain. This will be a Free-for-all elimination match. Last man standing wins. All rules apply.”

You look to the sky, you can barely make out a quadcopterr drone however above the forest. Must be what Dubois is using to observe the fight.

“Now then, let’s get on the bounce.” says Dubois. With that, a flare shoots up into the sky and explodes into a white flurry. “Begin!”

You quickly duck into the turret. Nancy as well heads down into her position. Lisa turns the engine back on and sends the Sherman forward through the forst.

The forest is definitely going to lend itself to some close quarters fighting. How do you want to approach this?

“Lisa, take it slow. Let’s play this safe. Who knows where they might be.”

Lisa says, “You got it.”

The Sherman crawls through the forest as you peer the periscope. You don’t have much of a view, but it’s certainly better than just sticking your head out.

Wait, why don’t you just stick your head out? It’s not like someone’s going to shoot you.

You unbutton the hatch and stick your head out, only to immediately meet a couple of branches.

Okay, back into the turret.

You peer through, sweeping the view of the periscope through the trees and bushes, a narrow field of view but at least you’re not getting hit in the face with trees.

Suddenly, you hear something. It sounds like another engine. You can’t see them and you’re not sure whether they can see you.

“Lisa, orient us left a bit.” The Sherman starts turning left as it moves. “Alright, keep going.” The Sherman then moves forward at a straight.

You bust through a fallen sapling and some bushes, but as you peer through the periscope, you still see nothing. Was probably just your imagination. Then you get a flash of metal. Okay, that was not your imagination.

You quickly unbutton then squint your eyes at what you saw.

The Churchill I with the Littlejohn Adaptor attached to the end of it’s barrel. It’s actually moving, that’s something.

It’s moving towards you.

You quickly button up and scream. “Lisa! DRIVE!”

“Where?”

“I DON’T CARE WHERE, JUST DRIVE! RAMIREZ, FIRE THE GUN NOW!”

Ramirez quickly sights in the gun, then fires. You take a peek out the periscope. Barely a scratch off their turret armor. The Churchill fires back, and immediately the Sherman shakes, with a loud bang coming out of your left. Sounded like a glancing hit off your turret.

“WHAT WAS THAT!?” yells Nancy.

“We’re okay! We’re okay!” you shout. The Sherman reverses, then immediately turns around and starts legging it through the foliage.

You unbutton the cupola and poke your head out back. The Churchill is giving chase. It fires again, this time with the 3-inch gun and this time missing and splashing against a tree. Your Sherman is slowed by the dense shrubbery, while the Churchill, while slow, appears right at home in this terrain.

Neither of you is going to catch up or lose each other at this rate.

>>28344520
Too many trees. Mobility kill is fine for now. They can repair the tracks sure but it'll take a while.

>>28344492
Tracking it is going to be difficult. The Sherman is firing a 75mm projectile, the Churchill has a track width of 559mm and it has multiple road wheels many of which are redundant.

“RAMIREZ!”

Ramirez takes off her headset for a minute to stick her finger in her ear. She looks at you.

“Ramirez! Bring the turret around! Aim for their tracks!”

She nods, and quickly begins the task of turning the turret. Another sharp crack reverberates against the Sherman.

“THEY’RE SHOOTING AT US!” screams Nancy.

If there’s anything you know about the Sherman, it’s that the Turret can turn pretty damn quick. Kitten loads in a new round, you’re not sure what round but hell you don’t care at this point. You tug on your collar, waiting for the next shell, yours or theirs.

Yours actually.

The shell explodes against the Churchill’s right tread, sending track links flying every which away. The Churchill skids right into a tree, stopping.
