You tear off the paper wrapping of the package, revealing a book. You quirk your brow confusedly at the title, “My Tank is Fight!” by Zack Parsons. Huh. You don’t remember ordering this. This isn’t even the M26E1 you order at all, you expected it to be bigger at least.

Wait a minute, you open the front cover, and find a note.


Gertrude, you’re making some real progress, but I think you need to start getting more textbook about Tanks. This is a nice little book I picked up in a bookstore here, funny stuff. Not a lot to learn about tactics, but maybe you can learn some fundamentals at least.

Remember, keep your head on a swivel.

- Dubois


You smile admirably, then shut the book. “My Tank is Fight!”

Ignoring arguments for and against the sherman

why do we want to give the rifle team an Su-152? It's an assualt gun. Most Russian casemates are assault guns with huge bore direct fire artillery pieces. Don't we want the riflesto be our marksmen?

So we give them the pershing. Not terribly mobile, but the 90mm is fucking great for long range tank killing. American tanks have better optics than Russian tanks (I think, biased), so it's better at long range accuracy. And they asked us for a tank with a turret.

I think that they deserve a hellcat if we can ever get our hands on one, though.

Why are people insulting the Sherman? The Sherman isn't a bad tank despite the nicknames it received during the early war years. They improved on the design and was pretty decent by the war's end.

>>28740200
we are in the base model aka the deathtrap

>>28740085
Because we're the commander. We lead the team and command where they go. Our focus should be on manoeuvrability and communications, not firepower and armour. The pershing is not suited to be the command tank because of its lack of manoeuvrability.

We need to be right there with our team, knowing what's going on at every point of the battle, and providing support where we can. We are not the spearhead, but the hand that guides the spear to the target, and the rope that binds it all together.

Shermans had a lot of room for radios, and it's decently mobile. May not fight as effectively, but it makes a good command tank.

>>28740072
We're gonna convert the SU-122 into a T-34 (85 gun eventually) to comply with their request for a tank with a turret.

>>28740236
I reckon the Pershing's 90mm would be better than the T-34-85's 85mm at tank busting. I don't /think/ (and it's far too early in the morning to confirm right now) that the 85mm is that accurate at long range.

I also /think/ (but can't confirm) that the 90mm has a higher velocity, muzzle energy and etc that would just make it a better gun overall. I don't know all that much about Russian tank cannons though, so I'll need to look it up later.

>>28740217
True, but there are plenty of upgrades or add-ons we could equip to it if needed. If anything the Sherman is versatile.
>>28740229

>>28740402
The Pershing is also chronically underpowered. Besides it's a pretty shitty tank for a team of their caliber, they deserve a good german tank.

>>28740541
During the war? Because most closed conversions happened after the war.

You decide on reading your book as you and Kitten head for the chippy. You’re already past the first few pages and you’re loving the illustrations and details of the schematics on the various experiments that never got past the drawing board.

And you snicker a bit at the ones that did.

Hell, it’s an entertaining read. Kitten too occasionally peeks over your shoulder to see what you’re snickering at.

> “My Tank is Fight!” Progress: 10%

The time ends up flying by and you arrive at the Chippy creatively called “The Chippy”. You enter and already you smell the lovely whiff of Fish, Fries, and grease. You and Kitten take a seat down in a booth, where newspapers have lovingly been set down for reading.

A waitress attends to you. “Hello! Welcome to the Chippy, can I take your order?”

You say, “Uh, Fish and Chips I suppose and a water. Kitten?”

“Same.”

The waitress immediately writes that down then excuses herself to the Kitchen.

You don’t see either of the Hall Monitors here. What do you want to do?

In flag matches we just make ANOTHER tank the flag. Foreign and totally out there concept, I know.

>>28740587
They road a Tiger originally so their used to that type of characteristic. Also with the Elite perk they bring to any tank they might ride it will offset some of that.

If anything we could always add better suspension or upgrade it to the Super Pershing if a kit is available.

>>28740598
The canon rules for the show mention that any open topped tanks like the hellcat (it SPECIFICALLY mentions the hellcat) need a closed top conversion.

>>28740725

>>28740679

>>28740679
It's already a super pershing, actually.

>>28740728
The gun is a post-war development and thus isn't tankery legal.

>>28740756
Except the SPershing fought in the war.

>>28740728
Because it is armed with the T54 which is post-war.

>>28740773

>>28740773
It did, but not with that gun. Read what I said.

>>28740679
Except the Tiger was actually pretty decently mobile, their biggest problems was due to their overengineered status and broke down a lot.

>>28740831
>due to their overengineered status and broke down a lot

Which was a problem if it fought for weeks on end with no maintenance, a tankery match that doesn't even last a day with lots of time for repairs between is a wholly different story

>>28740831
Not to mention it was heavy as a ton of bricks and was that that useful, or am I thinking of the tiger 2?

ANyway, I still think the Super Pershing might fit well with the Aces compared to all the possible teams we know

“So, Kitten,” You improvise a bookmark out of some newspaper then put it down. “You ready for Homecoming? Or the Play?”

Kitten leans forward on the table. “Oh… I don’t know. I mean, I’m doing both because you’re making me.”

“I’m making you do both because otherwise you’d be a total shut-in like last year,” you say. “You missed out on so much last year! Field Day, Homecoming, Shore Leave, all that stuff!”

“But you always stayed home with me,” she responds.

“… well yeah. But that’s because I’m your friend and I care about your well-being. Your social well-being in these circumstances.”

She rolls her eyes at that. “Whatever.”

With that, O’Hara and O’Brian arrive, and you and Kitten quickly bring the newspapers up to your faces to hide yourself. Oh, there’s a sale at Penny’s!

O’Hara and O’Brian sit down at a booth near you. You immediately receive a text, then read it. It’s from O’Brian, and it simply says, “Give me advice you cunt.”

If we're getting shot ourselves, something went very wrong with our strategy. Manoeuvrability is MORE important in a flag battle, because it keeps our tank out of the enemy's sights.

Further strategic musings

due to the not so great mobility of the pershing, I reckon (on an open field type ground) it would be best serving us from behind the lines or somewhere else, using the 90mm as long ranged support. Maybe put it on a flanking lane of fire in order to best exploit the drop in penetration that comes with long ranges.

The Pershing just won't be able to keep up with the rest of us. We've got a very medium heavy line up so far, which is a good thing, manoeuvrability is the heart of tank on tank fighting. We need to use that to our advantage.

I'm a little worried about the churhill though. Thing's a slow cunt. Dunno how we can fit that into the manoeuvre tactics.

>>28741038
>>28740988
>>28741026

The Sherman isn't a bad tank. Also the Pershing is slower then the Sherman, and its off road capacities are bad. Not to mention the transition.

If we can't keep up with our team and remain in a position of situational awareness, we are useless. And it would not be great having to sacrifice the mobility of all those mediums just to make them keep up with our slow ass. The pershing is a good tank, just not for us.

RAMIREZ! I need romantic advice!
Ask Kitten what we should do. Wish we watched romantic movies from time to time.

>>28741266
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH WOW

The Kingtiger was faster, more manoeuvrable, had better armor and a better gun. It was more ergonomic inside and had better optics. The only thing the Pershit has going for it is fuel economy, by a small margin.

>>28741255
look it is way better then the sherman and way way better then the shitty Sentinel that we should have never gotten over a T34

What is reading?

Also the king tiger was slow as shit.

>>28741321
We were already getting a t-34, It is only better then the Sherman due to it's gun and armor but is much slow then the Sherman

>>28741307
For assaulting a line maybe.

But we're the command tank, we shouldn't be doing that in most situations.

>>28741321

You just went there.

>>28741353

He's talking about the T-34.

>>28741353
why would the main russian tank of the war be not legal?

>>28741353
I think he meant the Soviet T-34

>>28741370
T34 is a post war American heavy tank.

You're talking about the T-34.

And you're also trolling.

>>28741318
In Senshado where tank battles are expected to last only a few hours, the King Tiger is superior with proper maintenance and a Petrol engine.
However, to say it was the best tank in the war is an overstatement considering they did brake down a lot due to over worked drive trains.

>>28741321
Don't be such a Slavaboo. The T-34 was only good because it was the most produced tank in the war. The rules state there is a maximum amount of tanks that can be played at once, filling our ranks with heaps of shit isn't going to win unless we use them as cover and the enemy decides to bring less tanks than us (Not likely, especially with the richer schools).

>>28741370
Because there's a difference between "the main russian tank of the war" and this.

The dash, while silent, is still important.

>>28741359
Still faster than that american turd. Also why limit yourself to the nation with the worst overall tanks of the war, only effective because they had a fuckton more than anyone else.

“How about you stop insulting her and just tell you how you feel?”

“I’m going to release these feels all over you if this doesn’t work.”

O’Brian says to O’Hara. “But listen, I am serious, we could go to Homecoming together.” She looks out the window. “Wouldn’t be too embarrassing.”

O’Hara says, “Yeah right. Two girls going together? Are you fecking serious? We’d be called dykes, lesbians, and every other gay synonym there exists thereabouts. Jaysus, I can imagine it now.”

O’Brian crosses her arms. “What about Gertrude and Kitten, I hear they’re going as friends.”

O’Hara sighs. “Nah, more than likely it’s just a ruse, they’re probably…” She pauses, taking in a bite of a chip thoughtfully. “Whatever, it’s a stupid thing. We don’t have to go, anyway.”

“Megan, I’m just saying I mean…” YES. THIS IS IT. DO IT. O’Brian exhales, blushing a little. “I…” O’Hara looks up at her, confused. “Uh… I mean, it’s like potatoes you know?” Oh for- “Potatoes go here and we always assume they’re going to be fries, but really they’re moving places to be other things!”

What in the fuck is she talking about? JUST DO IT!

“O’Brian.” O’Hara looks at her like she’s grown a second head. “Are you suggesting potatoes migrate?”

O’Brian quickly texts you under the table. “I CAN’T DO IT! FUCK IT!”

>>28741307
Not in the role you're trying to force it into.

We are the command tank. We need to know how the tide of battle is going, and be able to direct our forces to turn the tide in our favour.

One, we need to know what is going on. That means being able to see the battle, being able to be where the battle is, and being able to recieve radio reports from our team.

Two, we need to be able to command our team. We need to see where we send them, we need to actually be able to tell them via radio, and we need to be able to keep up with themso that we can stay aware on how the battle is going.

I cannot stress this enough. Our job means we are the brain that controls our team. We should be avoiding putting ourselves in danger as much as possible. We are not the front line fighter, but we sit right behind our friends and lead them from a position where we know exactly what is going on. And for that to happen, we need to be able to keep up with them. Something that the Pershing can't do.

Again, the Pershing will be much better serving as a long range support tank rather than a front liner. It has a great gun for that sort of thing.

“Fuck it, take it slow, ease her in. Flirt with her a little.”

O’Brian crosses her arms. “No, I’m not suggesting potatoes migrate. But hey, you know, maybe you’ll find a nice guy at Homecoming anyway!”

O’Hara rolls her eyes. “Please. No guy would go out with me if I was nude and holding up a sign that said, “Shag me until I pass out,””.

“Is-“ O’Brian quickly twists her tongue at that then says, “… maybe you will! I mean…” She sighs. “I think your glasses look great!”

“Pardon?”

“Your glasses, really compliment your eyes. You know, guys like nerdy girls who don’t actually know a damn thing about nerdy things, you know.”

O’Hara smirks. “Well, thank you. I happen to think I make glasses work, O’Brian. Unlike you and your bedhead, probably makes you look like a slut you cunt.”

O’Brian claps her hands together. “Fine then! Maybe we should perhaps go to Homecoming!”

“What is it with you and Homecoming? Are you really that fecking desperate?”

“Oh,” O’Brian says something she’ll really regret. “I’d go with a girl if it meant I have a date.”

O’Hara looks at her skeptically. “What?”

Oh shit. This is the moment of truth. O’Brian slinks a bit into her seat, texting you quickly.

“I’m fucked.”

The Sherman is fine as a command tank and we can upgrade it into one of the better versions a bit down the road.

I have to ask, is there any planning going into how we're going to field these tanks? Are we going to make sweeping advances, or ambush the enemy and withdrawing,

Save her. Regale O'Hara with tales of the fun you and Kitten will have at Homecoming.
It's obvious that even if we can think of a perfectly good line for her, she will pick a much worse one anyway.

>>28741675

It's too late, she's screwed. We're thinking with the glasses and not with our heads.

“Oh for fucks sake, just tell her now.”

O’Brian says, “I want to go to Homecoming with you because I love you.”

You and Kitten slam your foreheads on the table. NOT LIKE THAT YOU MORON.

O’Hara blushes intensely. “Wh-WHAT!? ARE YOU- HUH!? WHAT!?”

“… yeah, I could’ve phrased that better,” says O’Brian. “Um. Can I start over?”

“NO YOU CAN’T START OVER YOU CUNT!” She stands up, with huge mixed bag of emotions on her face. “YOU CAN’T JUST SAY THAT AND THEN THINK- Well for one, I FIND OUT YOU’RE A LESBIAN!”

O’Brian stands up too. “You know what, fine, I AM A DYKE! I MAY MAKE FUN OF YOU A LOT BUT HELL I DON’T MEAN IT!”

“ARE YOU FUCKING RETARD! YOU CAN’T JUST INSULT GAY PEOPLE AND THEN EXPECT THEM TO GO OUT WITH YOU! THAT’S NUTS!”

“THE ONLY THING NUTS HERE IS THE FACT THAT I DIDN’T ASK YOU OUT EARLIER!”

“I SWEAR TO GOD YOU FUCKING CUNT!”

“THE ONLY CUNT I SEE HERE IS THE ONE MAKING A FUCKING SCENE!”

… Wow.

The two pant, calming down, then look around and see all the surprised faces, including yours. They both smile nervously, then quickly excuse themselves outside.

Kitten says, “Wow. That was interesting.” She looks over at you. “Think it worked?”

You shrug. “Well. I suppose it could be worse.” You and Kitten look out the window to see O’Brian and O’Hara arguing, a little less violently this time and more calmer. O’Brian appears to be trying to convince O’Hara, while O’Hara is simply in disbelief at the entire situation. You can’t hear what they’re saying and you’re no lip reader either.

O’Brian says something to O’Hara, apparently pleading or begging, while O’Hara simply turns away from her. O’Brian stomps her foot, calling out her name. O’Hara turns her head, and O’Brian says something else indistinct.

“What do you think they’re saying?” asks Kitten.

You shrug. “I dunno.”

O’Hara walks up to O’Brian, then says something else indistinctly. O’Brian nods to that. Wait, her shoulders are shaking a little. Oh god, she’s starting to cry.

You sigh. “Okay, yeah this isn’t going well.”

O’Hara hugs O’Brian though, tightly. You raise your eyebrow. What could this mean?

Then they kiss.

WHOOOOAA OKAY DIDN’T SEE THAT COMING

Kitten blushes, returning to her newspaper. “OKAY, THAT’S SURPRISING.”

“YEAH.” You also return to your newspaper.

You whistle as O’Hara and O’Brian leave, hand in hand. That resolved itself like you didn’t expect it to. Kitten as well is as surprised as you are.

“That was intense!” she says. “I honestly thought she was fucked for a second there.”

You shake your head. “I don’t understand, how did this shit happen?” You take a bite out of your fried fish. “I mean… it kinda makes sense, but in a way it doesn’t. I thought O’Hara was crushing on me.”

Kitten shrugs. “Well, maybe it was one of those puppy love things. Of course…” She sighs. “Jesus, this is an interesting lunch we’re having.”

You nod. “I know, I know.” You take another bite out of your fish. “But, I suppose it’s nice! They’re together. That’s what matters.”

Kitten nods, smiling. “They got each other.” She looks over at you. “I suppose this means, Bolter’s gonna get out of the slammer then?”

You nod. “Yep. We’re making progress.”

With that, you finish off your lunch and then head out. Where to next?

“Hey, if you need dresses, come by the Sewing Club building,” you text to O’Brian.

“Now, Kitten!” You snap your fingers, grinning. “It’s time for DRESSES!”

Kitten says, “Joy.”

The two of you get on your merry way to the Sewing Club building. It’s actually been a while since you’ve visited there; you wonder how much they’ve gotten done. Maybe people actually buy stuff from there now.

You arrive there, and as you predicted it actually looks like people are shopping there. The racks look used as if people actually take clothes from them now. You can see the occasional student filing through pre-made dresses and the like. You meet with Mamie at the counter.

“Hello, Gertrude,” greets Mamie. “Here for your dresses?”

You nod. “Yep! Uh, O’Brian and O’Hara will be coming along later, if you don’t mind.”

Mamie shakes her head. “Not at all! Go head to the back, Anna should be right with you.”

You and Kitten head to the back and sure enough, you’re greeted by a very tired looking Anna, who looks as if she hasn’t slept. However, she greets with the same energy as if you had just first met. “Gertrude! Kitten! It’s good to see you two! Been working around the clock and the coffee hasn’t even run out yet!” She holds up scissors and a needle.

“So, Gertrude. You first. What would you like?”
