You nod, taking a plate of pancakes and a glass of OJ. “Slept like a corpse! You know, I had the funniest dream actually.”

Nancy asks, “Really? What about?”

You open your mouth to say it, then you realize, “… I can’t remember. But I’m sure it was just wacky and way out there. Something to do with Romans I think.”

Nancy nods, placing down plates for the now waking Lisa and Ramirez. “Well, I think that’s just lovely, President.” She pats your head. “Go ahead and eat up, I’ll just be freshening up.”

With that, Nancy takes off her apron and starts undoing her shirt as she heads into the bathroom.

Lisa arches her back, groaning as she wakes from her slumber. “Whooo boy. That was a nice sleep.” She looks over at the plate of pancakes. “Oooh! Pancakes!”

So what do you want to get done first this morning?

They don't summon a tank out of fucking air. They need a tank too.

> Wake Kitten up

You gently shake Kitten. “Hey, Kitten, wake up.”

Kitten sleepily says, “Noo… it’s too early.”

“You didn’t seem to have too many problems waking up early a couple of days ago.”

“I’m like a politician, I flip flop.”

You roll your eyes. “Come on, Kitten. Nancy’s made pancakes!” Kitten moans as she turns over to you, pouting tiredly. You get down to her level. “Come on… healthy girls eats her breakfast every morning.”

Kitten sighs. “Fine…” She sits up, and you put a plate of pancakes in her lap. With that done, you decide to start eating breakfast yourself and wow these pancakes are good. You quickly eat up your pancakes, savoring every little bite of them, then down the OJ.

Except for an underpowered engine. And the fact that we'd be hard pressed to utilize the urban dense maneuvers we've been learning.

We'll just have to readjust our combat style.

Stop trying to take the fucking panther out of commision just to keep it for people we aren't even guaranteed to get, and if we do will get ages later.
It's fucking stupid to hold back on using a good tank

As much as I'd agree with you before, last thread

no they will elite a tank when we get them we have said this for the last 6 theads

>>28717202
it was clearly and directly clarified last thread that no, they do not.
They simply upgrade whatever tank we give them to elite for free.

>>28717188
704 Horsepower is perfectly fine for a tank that's only 10 tons heavier than a Sherman.

>>28717214

Last thread OP stated that the tank they get assigned is upgraded to elite status, not that they come with one. I'd prefer it if they came with one so everyone would shut up about saving tanks though

Has a terrible transmission and is very slow offroad. Sherman is at least more versatile.

>>28717142

Anyways, I think if Octivia does not approve (The tank expert) we should cancel our order for more conventional upgrades.

This tank is probably rare so comp.specing it and conversion will tank a large amount of our budget and will ultimately drain our funds

>>28717284
We can use some normal Pershing parts too. The SP is literally just a later version of the normal Pershing.

>>28717265
it came in late in the war to make any significant difference. Is comparable to the Tiger Tank in which was a technological dead end.

They worked out most of the kinks during the korean war but was eventually replaced with Patton tanks as soon as their were available. This should tell you how 'effective' this tank is.

True, but Pershing tanks are rare, I'm frightened on how much all this will cost u considering we have other tanks that we need to get and more crews to man them. They will require some of the funding too.

The Pershing is a long term project in which we may or may not get around due to these circumstances.

>>28717342
True, but they were still working out the kinks throughout the end of the war in which they didn't smooth it out until the Korean war in which is not tankery legal,

and having that as our lead tank is painting a big target on us.

>>28717374
It's got the best potential to be great out of all of our current tanks. I don't care if we start using in now or later, I just want us out of the Shitman.

> Watch the news

Eh, might as well let Nancy hold the shower for now. You can always freshen up later. You seat yourself on the edge of your bed, looking at the TV.

There’s no real interesting news today, but what really catches your attention is the Tankery Program. Specifically, they talk about the upcoming World Cup Tournament, what kinds of teams will be fielded, and what kind of tanks they might see, but they come to an interesting discussion on Tankery.

One of the analysts says, “… and the Japanese Nationals really proved that the era of teams fielding powergamed and minmaxed line ups is just about over. Black Forest Peak’s loss despite a numerical and technical advantage has more or less struck a huge huge blow in the Tankery metagame.”

The other analyst says, “I fully agree. I can’t wait to see what kinds of teams we’ll be seeing in the World Cup. Because like you said, a lot of teams are afraid of starting up because of the whole minmaxing situation that perpetuated the 90s and such for quite some time. Now, we just might see a lot of new beginner teams, alongside returning veterans like Ooarai Academy, Black Forest, those Japanese teams. We’ll be seeing teams like Walter Christie who’ve decided to enter the Classic scene as well, and I hear talk of a new school that’s just revived their team like Ooarai.”

The first analyst says, “Lafayette Girls Academy, they actually held a showmatch earlier with Robert Heinlein, very close match. They lost but it was really something to watch.”

Lisa claps, cheering. “WE MADE THE NEWS!”

You slap Kitten on the back. “We made the fucking news, Kitten!”

Kitten laughs. “Can’t believe it, they mentioned us!”

Nancy pokes her head out of the bathroom, her hair still wet. “What’s going on?”

Awww yissss

>>28717415
Shermans is what won us the war though. They could be very versatile and have decent speed, which makes it a decent flag tank. Pershings are more like heavy hitters in which the KV-1 and T-36s could fill these roles.

Not to mention it's a vintage post war pershing. I can't even imagine how much this will set us back trying to even get it to ww2 specs. '

There are more conventional tanks in our rosters that need upgrades which the funds could be better used for.

Even buying this tank took half our funding for pete's sake!

>>28717403
We bought a super pershing, not a normal pershing. Once we remove the gun and replace it with the WW2 era 90mm it becomes tankery legal, I believe.

>>28717549
Shermans were absolute shit and the only reason we won the war with them is because we built a shitload. So unless we have 4 shermans to our 1 pershing, I'd rather use the pershing.

>>28717613
Oh, and our Shermans didn't win us the war. It was our blatant air superiority and our production capability.

“We made the news, Nancy! I’d rewind it but it’s TV you know?”

Nancy smiles. “Lovely!”

Ramirez says, “They only mentioned us once.”

“Well, Buzz Killington,” says Lisa to Ramirez, “can you at least be proud that we were mentioned in mass media? People might take notice of us! Send donations and sponsorships our way. Stuff like that!”

Nancy walks out of the bathroom, drying off her hair, towel wrapped around her body. “Still, it’s quite the thing. I don’t think I’ve ever been on the news before!”

You say, “Most people go their entire lives without ever being on the news.” You stand up. “Anyway, finished with your shower?”

Nancy nods. “Go ahead!”

With that, you strip down and enter your shower. The News, even before the School Newspaper could even publish their first articles. What a hell of a thing that is. You finish off your shower and then dress yourself into a shirt and skirt. You walk out of the bathroom and sit down next to Kitten on your bed.

>>28717613
I agree the early shermans were shit compared to later tanks but the Jumbo and easy 8 were some of the most effective tanks during the war.

A 90mm gun doesn't mean anything is we can't effectively position it. It's top speed are only on roads and has its off road performance is in the single digits! that will give the teams some notion of where we will move our tank and effectively counter it.

The same thing with the tiger, massive gun, heavy armor, but was slow if not on a road.

>>28717667
> Call Octavia about the Pershing.

>>28717549
KV-1 uses a ZIS-5. It's not a heavy hitter, it's the same gun that was used for T-34/76. Plus, it's slow. Don't know what do you mean by T-36.

Plus, the Pershing is faster, has good gun and armour.

> Embark on a subquest (For Auld Lang Syne)

You decide maybe it’d be a good idea to try and get one of the Ace tankers aboard. To that end, you call up Octavia.

“Morning, Gertude. Need something?”

“Yeah… you think you could help with getting your friends aboard?”

“Ah. I knew this call was coming. Well, sure I’d be glad to help.”

“Thanks. You’re a real help, you know?”

“Oh, stop it, I’m just running a play and answering your crews questions about tanks on the side. Anyway, which of the girls do you want to try to recruit today?”

> Michelle DeWitt: Gunner
> Kate Knispel: Commander
> Wendy Kniep : Loader
> Joanna Bolter : Driver
> Cancel Subquest

>>28717850
> Kate Knispel: Commander

>>28717850
let's ask her what one she thinks would be the most likely to come around

>>28717850
Have we met Wendy yet? I think it might be good to go for a fresh member, since we've already gotten the others a little peeved at us

>>28717850
>> Kate Knispel: Commander

>>28717850
> Joanna Bolter : Driver
We have the best rapport with her, she was one of the less affected aces by 'the incident', and she seems like someone who wouldn't let herself be constrained by the past anyway.

>>28717793
One of the reasons we replaced it with the Patton was due to the Pershing's technical issues. The Pershing was more or less a prototype on how to create a tank with a heavy gun.

Again, if the expert agrees with our purchase, I'll drop the subject but if there is concern with a ww2 spec pershing or rather trying to get parts to do conversions. Then there will be problems.

>>28717871
We just recruited her arch enemy. Bad idea in my opnion

>>28717850

>>28717850

>>28717850

the tankers will always be here. We need to fulfill our promises to make the play a success

>>28717850

One of the less affected of the Aces, and potentially the most useful.

>>28717850
>> Kate Knispel: Commander

>>28717892
Out of charity though, not like we're all friendly with Luciano. Who's probably gonna be just as recruited in a week or whenever.

>>28717850
> Wendy Kniep : Loader
Wendy at the very least turned up to WATCH the tanks. Which is more than can be said for the other aces.

>>28717850
> Joanna Bolter : Driver

As mentioned, least affected.

>>28717909
I disagree here. The commander is the brain of the tank. In all likelihood, she gave the order to fire.

>>28717909
Probably issued the order, or her orders might have done something caused it to happen by accident.

>>28717850
>> Joanna Bolter : Driver

I don't remember. Did we actually find out what happened, or are we still speculating?

>>28717850

>Wendy Kniep: Loader

She was the one that we saw just before the match, right?

>>28717850
>> Kate Knispel: Commander

>>28717933
true, but she has the lowest morale out of our entire roaster, and to try and convince bolter right after getting Luciano doesn't seem like a good idea
your almost tempting them to get into a fight

>>28717869
Wendy was the one who fixed Kitten's door when we broke into her room, I believe.
She visited Michelle when she was sick, then turned up later when we were heading for the match with Heinlein.

>>28717850
Can we bring the Setential to COmp.Spec?

>>28717850
> Joanna Bolter : Driver
If we can get Bolter on-board, she's got enough force of personality that she might be able to talk the others into it.

>>28717993
but she was also the most pissed off.

and again, we're asking to get the deliqunets and her into a fight

>>28717850
> Kate Knispel: Commander

>>28717967
They fired a round when they weren't supposed to, people got hurt. No one's dead, but still.

>>28718073
Nobody said they weren't supposed too

>>28718019
That's just because pissed off is her standard mode when facing stuff she doesn't like to talk about. Wendy/Michelle were obviously less pleased about the whole thing than she was.

>>28718019
True enough, but she could very well be the lynchpin to get the rest of them to join.

Though that's a good point about her and Luciano (or the delinquents in general) but I still feel we should go for her.

> Joanna Bolter: Driver

“Well, I have a good rapport with Bolter I suppose. Think we can pay her a visit?”

“Yeah, sure. She’s actually in the Brig at the moment.”

“… why?”

“Speeding.”

You roll your eyes. “Alright. Uh, me and my crew will meet up with you at the Brig I suppose.”

“Alright, see you there.”

You hang up and look over at your crew. “Right, girls, let’s saddle up. We gotta visit make a visit to the Brig today?”

Lisa raises an eyebrow. “Why?”

You say, “Because a good friend of ours happens to know a lot about tanks and she’s interred there for some time, we have to convince her to join us.”

“Ooohh, the Brig.” Nancy looks concerned. “I’ve never been there.”

Lisa says, “Most Academyship Students don’t go to the Brig if they value their futures.”

“Anyway,” you clap your hands. “Saddle up.”

All of you head out of your dorm and into your Sherman. You sit atop the turret as Lisa powers the engine up then rolls the Sherman out into the street. Kitten navigates Lisa towards the Brig, and within just a few minutes, you arrive at there.

The Brig is an interesting place. It serves as the central hub for most Law Enforcement Studies students, including their advisors. LES students take their classes there. It also functions as… well a brig. More or less, it’s the Academyship functional equivalent to a County police station.

The Sherman pulls into the parking lot, and you see Octavia walk over.

“Hey, how are you doing?” she asks.

> Boast
> Neutral
> Polite

I also think the delinquents thing could work for us just as much as against. Maybe she won't like that Luciano is doing tankery when she isn't, like she's infringing on Bolter's territory, or maybe it'll light up her sense of rivalry

>>28718132
I just hope we make it clear to try to have both parties kind of steer clear of each other if we do recruit her.

“Great!” You hop on down, as does your crew. You pat Octavia’s shoulder. “We got on the news today.”

Octavia smiles. “Oh I know, was watching it. Only a brief mention, but hell you take what you can get right?”

“Of course,” you say. “Anyway, let’s head in and see Bolter.”

All of you head inside the Brig and find all kinds of LES Students and advisors walking around. You head up to the reception desk. “Hi, we’re here to see Joanna Bolter,” you say. The receptionist points down a hallway.

“Go down there and to the right. A Hall Monitor or two will be there to escort you.”

You head down the hallway as you crew gawk in awe of the surprisingly orderly and clean brig. Nancy says, “It’s so organized! I’ve never seen anything like it!”

With that, you find Pinkerton and O’Bannon waiting outside the Prison Cell entrance. “Ah. For once we weren’t looking for you,” says Pinkerton. “Come on, follow us.” She motions you to follow, which you do.

The Prison cells are mostly empty, save for a few students serving time for infractions incurred during Shore Leave. You arrive at the far end of the cells, and see Joanna sitting against the wall, bouncing a ball against the opposite wall like the Cooler King.

“You got fifteen minutes to visit,” says O’Bannon. They then leave you.

Octavia taps the cell. “Hey, Joanna.”

Joanna says, “Hey, Otto. What’s up?” She looks over and then spots you. “Oh. This.” She sighs. “How are you doing, Gertrude? Come to recruit me?”

Guys. Buy a Grouser Kit and Appliqué Armor Kit for a medium tank.

Believe me, this will be a good idea in the long run.

>>28718592
Well maybe if you explained it...

>>28718627
From THE SHOP:

"PARTS are minor upgrades or additions to a tank, and relatively inexpensive in comparison to everything else. Parts can be anything from uparmoring Appliqué Armor Kits to entire engines and guns. Certain parts can create discounts on conversion kits depending on market price."

Focus on:
>Certain parts can create discounts on conversion kits depending on market price.

>>28718592
Grousers are a situtional thing, but the imp. suspension and armor kits should go on as we can.

>>28717146
>>28717083
I support this general idea. The Pershing (We could call it The Marshall) is a tank worthy of commanding battles and the Panther may be a bit much for inexperienced crews to handle, especially an unmotivated one.

“Well, yes I am.”

Joanna catches the ball and stands up, then walks over to the cell bars. She looks over at Octavia, frowning. “So. Swearing not to do Tankery anymore not mean anything to you, Octavia?”

Octavia crosses her arms and says, “Grow up, Joanna. It wasn’t our fault, you should move past it.”

“It was our fault.” Joanna throws the ball onto the bed, then sits down on the bed, sulking. “You can’t just ignore it.”

“I’m not gonna ignore it,” says Octavia. “I’m gonna learn from it.”

Joanna sighs, shaking her head. “So, you came to bring me back on, is that it?”

You nod. “Yeah. If you want to. I mean, the Tankery Program is really going somewhere, we’re eight crews strong now, we’ve got new tanks like the Pershing-“

“Hold on,” Joanna stops you, her mood going from sad to confused. “You bought a Pershing?”

Octavia looks over at you, confused as well. “You bought a Pershing?”

You nod. “An M26E1 they said.”

“… You bought a Pershing that isn’t Tankery legal?” says Joanna. She laughs a little. “Wow.”

You shrug. “Hey, I still have a lot to learn. Is the Pershing a bad tank?”

Octavia smiles a bit, somewhat out of pity. “It’s not bad! Just… it’s not bad.”

Joanna shakes her head. “What a Commander.” She stands up, gripping a cell bar. “You know what. I’d love to help you but… I can’t.”

“Now, Joanna-“ Octavia is interrupted by Joanna.

“I can’t because I’m awaiting my expulsion hearing.”

I tried to pitch the applique armor for the Sherman and KV before the Heinlein match.
No takers though, and most prefered the spaced armor kit for the KV nayway.

Octavia gasps. “You’re getting expelled?”

“Maybe. My disciplinary record is a mile long, and they have plenty of reasons to expel me.”

You sigh, rubbing the bridge of your nose. “Goddamn, Bolter. What’d you do?”

She shrugs. “A lot.”

“Well,” you say. “I don’t know. Maybe we can work something out, I mean-“

Pinkerton and O’Bannon walk back in. “We might be of some assistance.” You look over. Oh god, not this shit again. “Bolter is indeed awaiting her expulsion hearing, but-“ she snaps her finger, “I think we can work something out. If you’re interested.”

Help me help you, Bolter

>>28718627
A grouser kit is basically like chains for your tires, it increases traction in otherwise slippery or loose material.
An applique armor kit would provide extra armor plating onto what the tank already has. Like a suit of armor on a robot.

The grouser kit sounds like a GOOD fuckin' idea for any of our tanks that aren't good at off-roading.

>>28718697
> Y
Yeah, I was wondering why they didn't include Bolter for "tank rehab". I assumed the delinquents had worse pending cases than Bolter, but if the situation is like this, we'll have to take it.

>>28718697

Hear the offer, first.

>>28718697
> Y

Pinkerton and O'Bannon being useful.

Who knew.

>>28718697
>Y

So, there not hating us on our choice of the Pershing but...it's mediocre?

When we get the Ace crew members, I say we split them off as specialist instructors for each crew member type.

So, Bolter would take the drivers and coach them up exclusively once a week. Octavia the Radio Ops and so on and so forth.

>>28718697
>Well?
Uh, pretty sure this is all on Bolter herself given we obviously wouldn't oppose her doing tankery

>>28718741
Our bigger tanks are pretty good in that regard, as they're generally equipped with fairly wide tracks.
The Sherman could use a set, but the really light ones can go without.
Anything russian is gonna be fine as it is.

>>28718697

They may take our money, they may take our tanks, but they will never TAKE OUR SPIRIT.

its also not legal, so they're very confused.

Eh, youre paying one way or the other.

> Y

You sigh. “What do you have in mind, Pinkerton?”

Pinkerton rubs her hands together, thinking. “Well, the reason she’s about to undergo her expulsion hearing, unlike Luciano and her cronies, is because her disciplinary record has pretty much reached levels of, ‘Why the fuck are you still here’ kinds of levels.”

“Yep,” says O’Bannon. “But, me and Pinkerton here will be willing to help you get out of that by simply rescheduling the hearing until say… March. By which she’ll have plenty of time to do your Tankery thing.”

You cross your arms. “What’s the catch?”

Pinkerton and O’Bannon look at each other. “Simple.” Pinkerton pulls out a piece of paper. “This is a letter stating that you were wrong about us taking bribes. All of you have to do is sign it, our advisors will look over it. They’ll promote us back to Shift leaders. We can all go about our merry way. Deal?”

> Deal?
> Y/N

>>28718835
And it is a good idea which I totally support, most post was just explaining it for those who didn't have any clue what either of those did.

Also, y'all are jumping the gun something fierce. What if Pinkerton's thing fucks the tankery team at the expense of saving Bolter?
At least hear the offer first before agreeing.

If THEY can reschedule, why can't O'Hara - a superior officer - do it?

I don't like this, though, they can simply renege on their end of the deal after we sign. We only have their word to go on.
Couldn't we simply talk to O'Hara and see if she can stall things or find some kind of last chance for Bolter?

>>28718858
Oh shit. I'm going to say no. This will completely ruin our credibility, and Friedenhall is going to sue it to drag us through the mud. "She lied about officers taking bribes, etc. etc. etc."

Let's see if there's any other solution to stop or delay the hearing, or we fucking defend Bolter at it.

>>28718858
Nope. Frankly they have no reason to back up what they are saying. This is from the two that tried to give us a ticket for riding a tank too fast, with the tank physically being unable to go as fast as they were saying.

>>28718929
Agree with this.

>>28718890

Are you people daft or just bad at reading?

INSTEAD OF getting the two Ass Cops re-promoted by taking this deal, we ask O'Hara to help US by suspending the trial until a later date.

>>28718948
The part that is incorporated in upgrade cost may be overpriced. If it's not, we're losing close to nothing. If it is, we could be gaining a nice discount.

>>28719065
She's easier to deal with, and kind of understands us. If we provide her with a good reason (maybe the same offer as the deliquents) we can do something about it.

“I’m gonna have to refuse. I’m sorry.”

Pinkerton and O’Bannon look at each, then glare at you. “Well then,” says O’Bannon as she folds the letter up and puts it back in her pocket. “I suppose neither of us will mutually benefit from such a deal.”

You shrug. “Whatever.”

Pinkerton says, “Right, let’s get outta here.” With that Pinkerton and O’Bannon leave, leaving you with very few options.

Bolter sighs. “Well, got any bright ideas?”

You say, “I’ll come up with something.”

Octavia says, “You better.” She checks the time. “Our fifteen minutes are up. Listen, Joanna, please. I hope you can move on, okay?”

Joanna looks down at the ground. “Whatever.”

With that, you, your crew, and Octavia leave the Prison cells and return to the Brig’s foyer area. You sigh, what else could-

“Psst. You.” You look over. It’s O’Brian, conspicuously without O’Hara as well. She’s standing by the hallway into the Hall Monitor offices. “Come over here.”

>>28719120
There's always the option of asking Mr. Mishka on how buying those parts might contribute towards the price of tank upgrades.

If we can't afford to buy the full package, then I'd rather reap some minor benefits from the applique armor.
Maybe it would have salvaged us the match against Ace by withstanding at least one shot from the Chaffee, but who knows now? All we can do iis improve our tanks little by little with what budget we have.

>>28719210
Appliqué armour and greasers are dirt-cheap anyway. I don't see a reason to get one kit of each.

“Sure.”

She motions you over. “Come into my office.” You and your crew follow, but O’Brian quickly says, “Not you all, just Pool.”

Thus, you enter O’Brian’s office alone with her. The office is small, with only two desks and a filing cabinet, along with two computers for O’Hara and O’Brian. “Take a seat,” she says. You do, and O’Brian sits at her desk. “Now. I hear you need to get Bolter out of the cells she can do Tankery for a while, is that correct?”

You nod. “That’s correct. You willing to help me?”

“That all depends,” O’Brian says as she leans back. She seems uncharacteristically not-sleepy today. “Are you willing to help me?”

You shrug. “What do you need?”

O’Brian leans forward, complete seriousness in her face. “O’Hara’s got a crush on you, she’s a lesbian.”

You immediately go red with embarrassment. “What?! She- What? I- What?”

“Was it not obvious?”

“… well now that you mention it, maybe. But what does that have to do with anything?”

O’Brian shrugs. “Oh it’s simple…” She leans back again, a blush evident on her cheeks. “… I need your help asking her to Homecoming.”

“…” What the fuck is going on. “… Do I look like Cupid to you?”

O’Brian crosses her arms. “Look… just help me and I’ll get O’Hara to delay or even wipe away the expulsion hearing. Okay?”

“… Fuck it. We got a deal.” You hold out your hand, and O’Brian immediately shakes it. “Just… you know, can’t you drop these things a little more subtle sounding or something?”

O’Brian shrugs. “I don’t know how I can make being a dyke sound subtle.”

“Hey, it’s just… you know, this is so far out of the left field. It’s like playing Soccer on a Football field.”

“So, completely normal?”

“… What?”

“Whatever,” O’Brian stands up and opens the door for you. “Me and O’Hara are gonna have some lunch on Friday tomorrow. I want you there giving me instructions.”

You say, “You make this sound hard, you’re just asking her out.”

“… you make it sound easy. Get out.”

It's an all-girls school. The lesbians have a glorious time, once they get comfortable, the bi's join in, and a good chunk of the rest become situationally homosexual. This is not a new thing, it's a well-observed phenomenon on all-girl campuses.

“Let’s just say I’m having a very interesting lunch tomorrow and leave it at that.” Your stomach growls, speaking of lunch. “By the way, can we perhaps stop by for lunch on our way to Practice?”

With that, all of you head and mount up on the Sherman. Octavia sits atop the turret next to you as stand turned out. There’s only one good place to get a fast cheap lunch.

“Hi, welcome to McDonalds, can I take your order?” says the worker.

You tell Lisa to idle the engine a little and even you have a little trouble hearing the worker. “Yeah! Can I get four double cheeseburgers, and uh… a Caesar salad. A Big Mac too. Five orders of medium fries, and Five medium cokes?”

“What?”

Oh boy.

After repeating yourself for a couple of times, the Sherman pulls through the drive-thru then up to the serving window. Lisa turns out the hatch to get the food.

The server, a freshmen by the looks of it, says, “Nice tank!”

“Thanks!”

With that, lunch is served. Where do you want to go now?

Just to break story for a bit, but purchasing certain parts does contribute to discounts on conversions.

I think they're arguing over which parts do what and how much, not that it actually does something.

>>28719759
It's not a question IF they contribute, but HOW MUCH they do.

I think the problem some anons are having is that they don't know which parts would contribute to discounts.

A dozer is certainly not a standard issue for all the M4 upgrades, to use an example.

The Sherman pulls into the Sports Warehouse, you turn out of the command hatch, noticing a few things.

One: There appear to be a lot more students here than you think there are in the Tankery Program.

Two: They’re dressed out in Lafayette Girls Academy sports jerseys and uniforms you don’t remember seeing since the 80s.

Three: The Sports Warehouse is now packed with all kinds sports equipment for sports like gymnastics, baseball, ultimate Frisbee, curling, soccer, basketball, and even fucking Tennis of all things.

Strange. The Sherman parks next to all the tanks and you hop out. You also find the Freshmen and the Aviators have arrived a little early today.
