PERRINE A SHIT

ohwait wrong anime

>>29295269
> Don’t Answer

Fuck off.

I bet the bitch either wants to call about the Tiger or the Ultra-Sherman.

>>29295343
Perrine still a shit here.

So gentlemen, the Tiger II.

I say, for the price, considering its comp spec'd already its a bargain, and will be a great team carry or cornerstone to work around.

As an added benefit, if we recruit the Aces and get them in it and make it ELITE, it will wreck shit everywhere.

I say we put it on the wishlist, focus on getting the money for it, and then recruiting the Aces, after we've got it, we can spend whatever money we get onwards upgrading/converting our other tanks and start on getting a good lineup.

>>29295269
>> Answer

>>29295383
Although I agree we should wishlist it for now, I'm concerned that this may be a false advertisement like that Tiger in the first few threads, maybe we'll make a definite decision once we get the dosh.

>>29295383
I can't wait to troll other teams with an elite Tiger II.

Starting with William Adams if we can get the crew and tank fast enough.

>>29295445
That Tiger was pulled down after the firstday. If it still looks legit by the time we get the money, then it's probably the real deal.

“What’s up, Perrine?”

“Gertrude, lovely to hear your voice again. What’s going on?”

“Not much. Just practicing on tanks for the Tournament. You know when your first match is?”

“Yep! Friday actually, it’ll be down in France.”

“Really? This Friday?”

“October 4th against Saunders High School, that’s correct! We’ll be kicking those wannabes back to Japan, you know?”

“Sure, yeah.”

“Anyway, just calling because I honestly forgot to do this. Next time we meet, we should go racing! I got plenty of Hellcat chassis that are left over from the Unlimited Team, not to mention some tankettes, Panzer Is, and BT tanks. Interested?”

“Sure, whenever you got the time, but you know, I’m kinda busy.”

“Of course. Actually, you know Victoria, from William Adams?”

“Yeah- She invited you to dinner, didn’t she?”

“THIS SATURDAY! Hell, we’ll be fine dining and the like in celebration of our victory. Show them what the Unlimited girls can do, eh?”

“Yeah, that’s great.”

“Anyway-“ Another voice interrupts Hobart for a few seconds. “Ooooohh! Gertrude, I gotta go! Our new Excelsior pilot vehicle just arrived! We irreparably broke the first one, mind you, but we’ll do better with the second! Gonna go a bit lighter and try maybe a 105 gun.”

“… Yeah, sure.”

“See you!”

You sigh, hanging up. You open up the door and head out to meet your crew. Nancy smiles, greeting you. “Hello, President! I trust you’re well?”

>>29295383
I'm all for it. So:

It's a good outline, though we should add some fundraising activities in.

>>29295542
You forgot the play.

>>29295542
I think maybe put getting some cash into the treasury before recruiting the aces would be best, no use putting the tank on the wishlist if we can't afford it

but otherwise, that sounds good, once we have it we can form our team around it and not spend so much money, so we can put some back towards the class and other non-tankery related things to win the electrion while still upgrading our tanks

>>29295497
>> Boast
BT and Hellcat chassis, I'm interested.

Maybe we could get something out of it

>>29295542
While this is certainly going to be controversial because certain people are going to take this the wrong way, we should call Audie Murphy for help in our recall elections. Things are already looking chancy, made worse by how many things need our attention. We really need some outside help here, because we really can't afford to fuck this up.

You shrug. “Pas mal as they say in France. What’s up with you guys?”

Nancy says, “Oh, everything’s just splendid, shall we get to school then?”

Despite the sorry state of pretty much everything, school has decided to remain open. You can see students out and about, umbrellas under arm as if expecting another storm of rain. You vaguely remember checking the weather report and noted that it didn’t seem like it was going to rain.

Then again, you’re on Academyship moving full tilt, stranger things have happened.

Lisa says, “So, Boss. Planning on getting much done today?”

“We’ll see,” you say. “I got the play, and from what Fairless tells me, the Recall Election is…” you grit your teeth, cringing at the thought. “The Recall Election is a sure thing. I gotta think about money for our treasury.”

“That’s kind of my job,” says Lisa.

Kitten asks Lisa, “Did you find any fundraising opportunities?”

Lisa shrugs in response. “Nah. This town is tapped. I suppose if you wanted funds, you could whore yourselves out.”

You grin. “Ah yes, prostitution. The oldest profession. I’m sure me and Kitten would make a killing.”

“Trudy, please,” says Kitten. “Not again.”

We don't really have any good way to earn money at the moment. Lisa's keeping her ear to the ground though, so we shouldn't worry much until next week or so when we'll really feel the crunch.

>>29295579
I'm not sure what else we CAN do for the play. We gave them funds, actors, music, and direction. All that's left is show up to rehearsal to make sure it goes smoothly. So not something to worry about until another disaster pops up.

>>29295683
It wouldn't hurt to talk to her, I think. So long as we can call her or not go too far out of our way to find her, I don't see why not.

And a tank, which I think is causing problems for the rifle team, I don't understand why the T-34/76 must be kept unavailable for them while on loan for the play, why not substitute it for a tank we're not using, and they can practice/train/enjoy their actual tank, and not the piece of shit we forced on them because the T-34/76 is on loan for a fucking play

>>29295697
Have Nancy call the shop while we call Audie

>>29295697
> Read a Book (Specify)

We need to return it tommorow

>>29295732
>>29295762
>>29295762
I'm fine for wishlisting but I want Nancy or Ramierize to put some research into the seller of this tank.

Just in case it's legit

>>29295736
Audie is the student council pres (also a guy) we met on Robert Heinlein.

Hence the expected controversy.

so speaking of funds, what do you guys think of selling the S-35 and the Type 97? they are both relative dead ends and early war tanks quickly made obsolete, we can stick the sewing club in the Pz. IV and give the rifle club their T-34 and let the play use it only when they need it, and not all the time.

>>29295697
Read a book

>>29295843
and also, sell the ultra sherman's parts and keep the chassis and turret, if the turret is salvagable

>>29295843
Sewing Club only has 3 members and the Pz. IV needs 5 And the Type 97 is only being loaned to us so we can't exactly get rid of it

>>29295697
I'll second >>29295732 & >>29295832 & >>29295801

>>29295697
Again? As in Gertrude has tried this before?

>>29295843
We asked all of them why they didn't pick them.

I remember the Polish and Rifle team don't like German tank.

I think the sewing team agrees.

Can someone put a council member on the case to see if the tiger is legit.

A comp.spec Tiger II is suspicious

>>29295785
Ya, in retrospect it doesn't make much sense loaning them the tank at all. Fuck, we're making a comedy of Red Dawn with a bluegrass band! The fucking thing could probably get better reception with a shit-looking plywood tank. Mmm, there'd probably be consequences for pulling it out though.

>>29295835
Ah. Too many names, I just couldn't think of many people that would draw controversy like you said. My bad, I should try to know what I talk about before I speak I guess.

>>29295886
right, then maybe we can swap the type 97 for the T-34/76 being used by the play?

>>29295748
Not that I'm against calling Audie but what's the reason?

> Consult the Shop

You look over at Lisa. “Hey, Lisa. Would you mind putting the King Tiger on the wishlist?”

Lisa nods. “Sure, it’s a decent tank otherwise.” She pulls out her phone and pulls up Tankslist. Using the drag and drop function, she drags the picture of the King Tiger over into the Wishlist.

> TIGER II (PORSCHE) WISHLISTED

You smile. “Groovy! Maybe we can get some funds for it and we can buy it later.”

“Well, that’s the concept of wishlists,” says Lisa.

Nancy says, “I have to say, it’s quite interesting seeing a Tiger II for that price. But I can understand considering it uses the Porsche turret where the bottom is a total shottrap. A lucky shot there could in theory ricochet through the top armor, then kill the crew and render the tank inoperable.”

Lisa says, “Is there a difference?”

Nancy says, “The Henschel turret has a fully flat turret face, no shot traps whatsoever. That is the more common production turret. The Porsche turret is one of the prototype designs that did see some production but was phased out in favor of the Henschel design.”

You nod. “I see. Is the gun the same as the Tiger’s though?”

Nancy smiles. “It’s a longer 88mm gun, even better than the Tiger tanks!”

With that, you all arrive at the campus. Not much is happening for now, and you’ve got some time before class. What shall you do?

I'd rather not lend them anything and have them make a plywood cuttout like they did originally, but then Theatre Tech might not join up or join with shit morale or it'd hurt us in the elections or something. We should talk to Ramirez about it.

>>29296039
Hey guy, it was already looking like a trainwreck. I think the best move was to role with it. Everyone was incredulous about Red Dawn: The Musical.
Even if it isn't good, the important thing is that people talk about it and pay to see it, if just for the novelty or to laugh at it. Playing it straight would just be embarrassing to watch.

>>29296027
We already ask Mr.Miksha to see about selling the illegal parts

also, it's only until the play and it's not like the rifle team is losing any practice so relax.

> Read a Book (The Soldier of Tomorrow)

You decide on reading through the book. You head on over to the Library after bidding farewell to your crew, and then sit down. You yawn as open up The Soldier of Tomorrow. You’ve reminded yourself why you don’t really read all that much, and it’s mostly because reading is kind of boring.

But regardless, you’ve got to get through this one thing.

> The Soldier of Tomorrow: Progress: 150%

You stand up and look around, browsing books here and there. You wave to Loretta as she sits down at her own little place. No point in talking to her today, you suppose.

Now that you mention it, you never did browse the Library all that much. Of all things, you’ve managed to find a Kid’s section. It doesn’t look all that different from the rest of the library mind you, but the shelves are up to your waist in all kinds of books like the Berenstein Bears or Arthur or even-

HOLY SHIT.

You pick up the huge book. Not a lot of pages, yes. BUT HOLY SHIT.

And the size difference between your imagination and your penis is nonexistent, they're both fucking tiny.

True, but it will take more time, and material, and money to look like a t-72 compared to already having a russain tank on hand already.

The play or us can't afford to do so.

>>29296238
>True, but it will take more time, and material, and money to look like a t-72 compared to already having a russain tank on hand already.
and the end result will still be a tank that is not a T-72, so your point is?

Can we get Kitten helping us find Waldo? These books are always faster to get through with a friend reading it too

>>29296238
A T-72 and a T-34 on looks vaguely like one another.

>>29296277
It's a Soviet tank, in which was still used (in limited numbers) by that time anyway. also the T-34 was the ancestor to the T-72 anyway so they can use that instead or will not need much augmentations to make it look like one

>>29296301
I know that why we shouldn't try to replace the tank with a type-97, it wouldn't make sense and trying to make it look like one will cost quite a bit of money

Also the rifle team doesn't need it right away

> N

It's a book found in the Kid's section. I doubt we'd get a perk that's equal or better than the one we got from the cookbook.
As much as I'm thinking that the perk might end up as something useful for finding camouflaged tanks (at best).

>>29296332
>in which was still used (in limited numbers) by that time anyway
no it was not, it was out of service by the time T-64's and T62's were their mainstray, with 54's and 55's taking up supporting roles.

It may have been used for training, but not combat units

You slam the book down on the counter. “I WANT THIS!”

“Nah, I’m just having lunch myself. How are you? What seems to be the trouble?”

“Well, apparently there’s going to be a Recall Election here in LGA, and my position is going to be up for grabs. Just wanted to know if you had any advice.”

“Well, if I could, I’d definitely come over there to help you.”

“… That’s nice, Murphy. Really. A little creepy, but nice. I just need some advice, can you give it?”

“Well, what are the demographics of your school? Can you divide them out?”

“Well, we’ve got Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors, then we got Naval Studies all clumped up who make up almost 50% of the student body, then we have the Hall Monitors as well who make up another 25%.”

“Ah, sounds like Naval Studies is a swing state then. Along with the Hall Monitors. How’d you win last year?”

“I… don’t really know. I suppose force of personality?”

“Well, maybe try it again. Anyway, I have to head out, Gertrude. Good luck.”

“Right, say hello to Eugene and Ace for me.”

Lisa nods. “Yeah, Kursk Girls are fucking wizards with casemate tanks. Those ISU-152s pretty much blew the hell out of their Tortoise and Churchills.”

Nancy sighs, a bit saddened. “Shame really. That’s one of the few Tortoises we’re gonna see this tournament.”

“Well,” you say. “Hopefully my Professors are a bunch of cool guys who show the Tankery match.”

If we have a list that long we might as well declare we want to upgrade everything.

We have two primary concerns here. Upgrading our tanks for the coming match and the Tiger 2. We need the better tanks to survive the match and the Tiger 2 will only be there for a week and a bit.

Ignoring the Tiger 2 for now, The best upgrades for the match are the AC4 because 17 pdr and the Churchill.

I dunno, maybe we could put the 25pdr in the Sentinel, and save the 17pdr for the Sherman chassis to make a firefly, or (much later) the Churchill for a Black Prince?

Kinda being picky here, but there was a version of the Churchill that got the upgrades of the VII while keeping the 6pdr.

So we should shoot for that.

Two more, which we can do by reading once in the library.

>>29297104
the one that had 2 25pdrs in the turret had them in a rigid fixed mount, with no gunnery controls at all, it was done purely to test whether the turret ring could take the recoil force of the 17pdr in preparation for the AC IV, seeing as they didn't have 17's at the time, but plenty of 25's

> Read a Book Soldier of tomorrow.

Just two readings away. Might as well get it done.

>>29297135
Sorry, I was looking up the tank when researching.

But yeah, I want to make sure it's legit, I'll believe the Tiger II if it was vintage but for it to be Comp.Spec and having (Porche), and the summary for the seller.

I'm a little suspicious, besides having one of our council members looking it up doesn't seem too bad

>>29297145
Well all I see on the shop is the QF 75mm version, then again since we bought the QF Ordnance pack we could just do that.

I say that the Tiger II should be the priority here, because we're working on a deadline and our tanks are pretty well upgraded by now.

>>29297209
>I say that the Tiger II should be the priority here, because we're working on a deadline and our tanks are pretty well upgraded by now.
Yep, and we have a 6pdr we got in that bundle we can put on the church to make is a Mk VI I think?

The Tiger II is the most pressing issue right now, it is time critical and we need to gather the funds for it asap so we can start on getting the aces while working on the recall election

>>29297201

Porsche is actually a strike against it, because the bottom of the turret is a vulnerability.

I honestly have no idea why people are freaking out so much over the word "Porsche".

>>29297295
Because they think it is or may be a Tiger 1.

>>29297295
Maybe because of the way the Porsche Tiger was depicted in the anime

“So, Nancy,” says Lisa. “Anything happen with Fairless?”

Nancy asks, “What do you mean?”

Lisa smirks, tilting her head. “Just saying, you two were alone all night, and she did walk you home and all that.”

Nancy blushes a little, frowning. Lisa takes a sip of her milk as Nancy says, “Are you implying we had sex?”

Lisa chokes on her milk, some of it pouring out of her nose. She coughs a bit, some of it laughs, some of it coughs. “Aghh, Oh goodness.” She clears her throat, wiping her mouth, then says. “No, I didn’t imply that! Just- You know!?”

Nancy says, “I just helped her with stuff! That doesn’t necessarily correlate to sex! If anything she’d probably taste like cigarettes. I don’t like cigarettes, they taste weird.”

Ramirez says, “Why are you wondering what she tastes like?”

As you throw off your shirt, you answer the phone. “Hobart, need something?”

“I’m going to be incredibly, incredibly honest with you. We just used our Excelsior pilot vehicle and it has stopped working.”

“… That fast?”

“We’re fast people! One of our Unlimited girls, Briggs, said to me that we can’t stick a 105 Howitzer on the Excelsior chassis because it’s too heavy. It’d make it too slow. So I said we should stick a gas turbine into the engine, give it a bit of oomph. And in the middle of it, I thought, why settle for a 105mm when we can do a 128mm gun?”

“… So what happen next?”

“Oh, it burst into flames. Nobody got hurt, but unfortunately, the Excelsior got irreparably damaged, so we’ve had to scrap it.”

“You know, Hobart. Those Excelsior tanks are kind of rare, you ever think of going easy on them?”

“Why? They’re just tanks.”

“Well, they’re rare!”

“Oh, there’s always more tanks. Hell, here at Walter Christie, we can just build new ones! Hell, guess what, the ITL cleared the E-100 for use in the Tournament. We’re getting to build the turret and the gun to historical specifications! Isn’t that great?”

“Yeah, gonna use it in the match with Saunders?”

“Oh, we’re working double time to make it for the match. Anyway, Stratton wants me off the phone, we’re busy settling the gun. Talk to you later?”

“Sure.”

Perhaps we should warn Saunders. Kay did give us all that money after all. That deserves at least some payback.

>>29298169
Thus I hoping Saunders will win.

Though I'm not sure the Firefly will penetrate the E-100's armor

>>29298169
>The 88 isn't going to do shit to an E-100
it can, just gotta hit it where it counts, the LFP, turret cheeks/sides/rear and the rear hull can all be penned by the 88 L/71

>>29298237
The Firefly is mobile enough to get around to the sides or back though.

>>29298239
You're not getting those stats of WoT are you?

>>29298213
Kay doesn't like underhanded actions. Alisa was well within the rules to bring the radio balloon but it was rather unsporting and this is kinda the same. Not exactly but I'm not sure how Kay would feel.

Guys, if Saunders loses I think it'd be REALLY easy to get something to punch through the E-100. Saunders at least would practically be throwing loan tanks at us.

Don't take this victory from us Schteel.

>>29298304
Should have kept the GMC

“HA!” You whack the tennisball clear out of your side of the court and into the opposition’s. That’s another point.

You think. You’re not entirely sure how Tennis works. You think you’re winning though.

The opposing player serves, and you respond with another grunt and a slam of the tennisball. She grunts as she whacks the ball into your court, but you quickly get it before it hits the ground.

Now that you think about it. There’s a lot of grunting involved in Tennis.

With that, you say “Good game” to your opponent and hit the showers. Hanna and Grant talk a little about their respective interests, and you idly listen. Nothing too interesting, though Hanna reassures you that the animation is coming along smooth. Grant meanwhile tells you that Tara is still playing the Banjo even despite her injured arm. That’s dedication right there.

With that, gym is over. Again, nothing really happens in Theatre Class apart from learning how to apply make up. You don’t really pay attention, and instead sit way in the back while Crane and the try-hards just go full fucking mental with it.

History class and French are relatively the same. Surprisingly enough, you’ve not fallen asleep at all. If anything, you’re starting to process information better. There’s something changing about you.

But regardless, school’s over. What shall you do?

The KwK 43 L/71 can penetrate 153mm of armor at 2 kilometers. It's more than enough to penetrate the sides of the turret or hull at distance, and probably quite capable of poking holes in the front up close.

“Hey, Octavia.”

You and Octavia walk around backstage quietly as the actors rehearse. It appears blocking has come to them rather well, but dialogue could be… fixed, a bit. You walk over to the T-34, which is now undergoing the final painting to look just like a T-72. You place your hands on your hips, regarding it admirably.

Octavia whispers, “Set and the T-34 are almost finished. We’ve managed to grab the lights we need too.”

You nod. “Anything else you need?”

“Well, I can do most of the work, I mean, we are doing a comedy there’s not much thought we need to put into it.”

“Well, I think the dialogue could use a bit of… oomph. So to speak. It’s kind of wooden.”

“Sure!”

You check your phone. 4 O’Clock. Hm, not time for dinner yet. That’s a real shame. But, you suppose worse things have happened to you. You can hear Kitten out there just stumbling and stuttering through some of her lines. Too cute.

You take a look at the last few pages of The Soldier of Tomorrow. You note that there is a lot more to Infantry combat than you ever thought, how the doctrine of infantry has evolved. Yet, the goal of Infantry has always been the same. To take territory, and hold territory. Nothing else can do it quite like the Infantry. However, the book always emphasized that it wasn’t the weapons nor the tactics, but the Morale of Infantry that was important.

> THE SOLDIER OF TOMORROW PERK UNLOCKED: Morale drops can be reversed at the cost of 5 CP. This applies to any situation where morale is dropped, whether for singular crews or for the team as a whole.

You sigh, then put the book back into the backpack. Octavia walks over to you. “So, think we’ll be ready on the 18th?”

You nod. “Oh, rain or shine, we’ll have it definitely. Though, Octavia,” you say. “I’ve been thinking. I think it’s time we get the others on board.”

Octavia nods, frowning. “Of course. Joanna’s been quiet since we got her out of the Hall Monitor’s hair, but I definitely know Kate and Michelle will be… difficult to get a hold of. Who do you want to start on?”

Is the armor calculated with the angle, or si it just flat thickness?

>>29299700
I know but I kind of wanted to do the Freshmen.

That quest seems like we can make money in the long run

>>29299726
on what? and the E-100's soft spots, the hull and turret sides and rear, are near vertical, so the only angled armor is on the front UFP and LFP

>>29299669
>>29299750
Both the quests look like very big ventures, and at the moment we are VERY VERY busy. I believe getting our tankery team straightened out before the match (which will end the quest outright if we lose) is the smartest thing.

but they're not vertical. Just post the stats

near vertical, not actually vertical, and it depends on what turret WC is actually using, there were 2 planned, the Henschelturm, the one it has in WoT, is the weaker, the Mausturm, is the stronger, with more angles sides, pic related is the E-100 with Mausturm

“So where can we find Joanna?”

Octavia says, “We can find her at the Red Ball Couriers building most likely. I hear she’s gone back to work there.”

You nod. “Alright.” You look over and see Kitten walking up to her, looking embarrassed. “Hey, Kitten! Want to go on an adventure?”

“Believe me, I’ll go anywhere that isn’t here,” she says.

“Great!” You beam. “Right, Octavia, coming with us?”

Octavia nods. “Sure.”

With that, auditions are over, and everyone disperses. You, Octavia, and Kitten leave the campus grounds to the Red Ball Courier Services building. You barely remember helping them back waaaay back. That was only a month ago. Man, how time flies sometimes.

Octavia says, “Joanna’s their best courier. She’s managed to make a lot of deliveries on time, even earlier. Got a lot of big tips that way.”

“Does she?” you ask.

“Indeed! She operates out of a Kettenkrad.”

You ask, “What’s a Kettenkrad?”

“A tracked motorcycle. She uses it to carry lots of packages while still retaining some amount of mobility. She’s a real monster with it.”

You nod. “Ah, I see.”

You arrive at the Red Ball Courier Services Building. You ask the receptionist where you might find Joanna, and she points you in the right direction. You end up in the warehouse you find Joanna, wearing naught but her school skirt and shirt, and a cap designating her a courier.

She looks surprised when she sees you all. “Oh, Gertrude. How are you guys doing?”

You say, “We’re doing good. You?”

Joanna shrugs. “Eh, just working on getting a new delivery out here.” She pats her Kettenkrad. “I got a few more packages to deliver before I’m done for the day?”

“Really?” asks Kitten. “But it’s only 5 O’Clock!”

Joanna scoffs. “Ha! I can deliver lots of packages in only two hours. It’s nothing too big.” She looks at you, then at Octavia. “So, why are you guys here?”

Octavia says, “I think you can guess.”

…

Joanna nods slowly. “Ah. I see.”

Octavia crosses her arms, frowning. “Now, Joanna. There’s no running from this problem.”

“What makes you think I can’t run?” she asks.

Octavia responds with, “Because me and Gertrude are top of our classes in gym and we could easily catch you if you tried to run. Plus, the Kettenkrad takes a while to warm up so you’re defeated if you go that route.”

Joanna sighs. “Well…” She looks over at you. “Tell you what, Gertrude. How about you go on a run with me? I just have three packages to run. Sound good?”

Who could say no to a ride in a Kettenkrad?

Well, if we're not driving anything and only tagging along.

You nod. “Sure.” You look at the Kettenkrad. “Uh… where do I sit?”

“In the back!”

You nod. You quickly kiss Kitten on the forehead and will to her everything that Griselda isn’t already going to get, then sit down in the back. Joanna starts up the engine, then dons a helmet and some goggles. She hands you a helmet as well, which you eagerly take.

“We’ll be back in a bit!” says Joanna.

The Kettenkrad goes screaming out of the warehouse and out onto the street. You hang onto the sides for dear life. You even the packages which are boxes with you.

“You’re going a little fast, Joanna!” you shout over the wind.

“Am I?” Joanna shouts back. “I’m going a bit slow since I have a passenger!”

“Well,” you say back as Joanna speeds through a greenlight. “You need some seatbelts or straps back here or something!”

“I only keep things in the back I’m not afraid to lose!”

“… Oh.”

Sweet mother of mercy, you’re going to die.

The Grim Reaper however takes pity on you, and Joanna stops the Kettenkrad outside the Junior dorms. She picks up one of the packages from your shaking arms, then runs over to the drop off point. She’s back in a flash and soon, you’re back on the street.

She asks you, “So, Gertrude! This Tankery business! Why are you doing?”

Because we love it, and because the school will not exist if we don't

I don't think it's right to lie, especially if we're trying to recruit her.

Not doing it would be detrimental to our education here

The Tiger II costs $45,000. If we somehow managed to get that much money, keep in mind that for the same costs we can upgrade the Panther to Ausf. G, the Sentinel to AC IV, the StuG III to Ausf. F, and the Panzer IV to Ausf. F.

Now an Elite Tiger II might be worth the money but we also have to keep in mind tactics rather than just grab-bagging whatever tanks look cool. Employing the Tiger II runs into the same problems as the Pershing, indeed worse because the Tiger II's cross-country mobility is even worse. At best that means grouping it with the KV-85 and Churchill as a heavy anvil, although there are teams like Kuromime that will shatter even that block readily enough. Having a core of relatively mobile carry tanks, all in late-war configurations which can take out heavy tanks with maneuver might work out better in the long run than investing into one heavy tank.

If the Panther hadn't already been claimed I'd frankly say it would be the best choice for an Elite, since the Aces' skills would probably be better put to use hunting down the flag tank rather than playing as a defensive anchor.

I don't think that one is tankery legal, might be too late.

And I see your point on the mobile core of good tanks, but thats going to cost a hell of alot more than 45k to get 3-4 tanks to latewar conversions, and we're not even in the first round of the tournament yet, although its drawing close.

We need something we can rally the team around while we're still floundering in the little leagues as it would be, we need something to keep the team together and stand as a flagship for our shittier tanks (S-35, Type 97 etc) and not well upgraded tanks. to provide cover and long range support for their efforts.

I very much agree that having a mobile core of great latewar tanks will do us better against the bigger and meaner teams, but right now, it may be detrimental, and might mean we don't survive to face the bigger and meaner teams
