You lean over and hug Perrine, who nearly pulls you out of the bed in a tight hug. “Oooooh, it’s been too long, Gertrude!”

You nod, smiling. “Yeah, been way too long, Perrine. How are you doing?”

“Oh, I’m tres bien ma cher. Walter Christie is doing better than ever and we are just stoked for today’s match against Lafayette Girls Academy.” She finally lets go of you, letting you lean back into your bed. “And you?”

You shrug. “I’ve been on this ship for two days. What else is new?”

“Ah, that’s a shame. I took a look at your tanks while I was up here,” says Perrine. “I didn’t realize you had a King Tiger!”

> Boast

You smirk, patting your chest. “Well… that King Tiger happened to be a recent purchase and I do happen to have an incredible crew manning it-“

Perrine beams. “Michelle’s crew isn’t it? I know their record, 143 kills before they retired! Well, technically 149 I think now since your match with Adams and Saunders but I saw the match, yeah.”

You nod. “Yep, I daresay it can solo this match with Perrine if it wanted to!”

“Oh, it probably could,” says Perrine. “Good thing I didn’t touch the E-100 though! I think we might be able to make a last minute adjustment!”

Wait what-

She stands up, crossing her arms triumphantly. “Anyway, Gertrude! I’ll be on my Academyship. Our match won’t start until…” she checks the time. “5 O’Clock PM. So I bid you adieu!” She quickly skips out of the room.

Lisa yawns, waking up. “The hell is going on?”

You shrug. “Let’s just get ready for the day everyone.”

So about taking down/negating that E-100?

So this CDL of hers. Would it be crazy to ask the Stuart/S35 to shoot out the searchlight with their machine guns if shown the opportunity? Night fighting's going to play to WC's advantage probably, especially since our crews don't have any experience in these conditions.

I think I'm overestimating how much it'll play into the match though. I hope.

>>30569242
If the Opportunity showed, it will be better to just take out the tank with their main guns.

If they were to encounter it head on and did it's light thing, then yeah sure.

> Freshen Up

“… and she might be bringing her E-100?”

You nod to Nancy as she asked that. You and all your crews are now in the ship’s showers. You run some shampoo through Kitten’s hair, making sure she’ll look presentable for the cameras when the match comes around.

“Maybe,” you say. “It’s a tossup but I’d at least expect it.”

Lisa sighs. “And to think she called it a piece of shit and wanted to use it for Unlimited. Why did you have to convince her to not scrap it?”

You shrug. “I didn’t want to see a tank get scraped like that.”

“Well, we have a very big potential boss battle on our hands then and only one or two of our tanks have the potential to maybe take it down,” says Lisa.

With that in mind, after you shower, you all get dressed out in your Tankery uniforms. You quickly button up Kitten’s uniform and zip up her skirt for her. She hands you your helmet, which you take underarm.

You’re docked in the city of Goteborg it seems. It’s incredibly cold today, so you opt to wear the tankery trenchcoat and some nice warm stockings. Your hands are chilly as hell though, you need some damn gloves.

> Visit Walter Christie

You say goodbye to your crews in favor of taking a visit to Walter Christie. You’re taking your tank Cupid along with you as transport. Kitten, Ramirez, and Nancy sit out on the engine block while you and Lisa turn out of your hatches.

As the elevator goes up, you’re tapped on the shoulder by Kitten.

“Here,” she says, handing you a nice pair of black leather gloves. “Figured you might want them considering your hands are still shaking.”

They are not shaking- Okay, they are shaking. You take the gloves gratefully and put them on. Contrary to popular belief, not all gloves fit perfectly, but damn if these don’t fit you like, well, a glove.

You smile. “Thanks, Kitten.”

Your tank is eventually aboard the deck of Academyship J. Walter Christie Polytechnical Institute. Lisa drives Cupid down to the campus and on to the Workshop.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPx-nUqLMtc

Loud music by Queen plays as you dismount and step in. A lot of students are running around either in uniform or in boiler suits, working on various tanks both classic and unlimited.

“Hi, Gertrude!” Perrine waves at you from the shadow of her olive drab Churchill AVRE. “Come to visit?”

You nod. “Yeah.”

“Feel free to walk around then!”

and We can make a jackson out of the chassis of our Sherman we got from Perrine.

We can get the Firefly, by buying it from the shop

>>30569700
We already asked and she's busy. I suppose that might have changed but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

>>30569757
We asked for a complete Hellcat. It doesn't take any time to deliver a chassis. Not that it's for sure what we'd want to buy, but it's nice to know it's an option and how much it would cost us.

>>30569779
She also said, she can't really afford to give us anymore chassis, we have to order them as well

That's why I said buy. Last she said she has a surplus of them.

> Walk around
> Talk with Perrine

As you walk down the row of tanks reserved for the Classic roster, you ask Perrine, “So, Perrine. You like those cookies the Girl Scouts sell?”

Perrine nods, smiling. “They were just like Mom used to make.”

“Think you might buy some more?”

“Oh,” Perrine shrugs. “I might. I’ll give it some considering.”

You nod. “What about dresses. You need dresses?”

“Gertrude Pool,” Perrine crosses her arms, smirking. “Did you come here just to sell me stuff?”

You shrug. “Maybe, do you need dresses?”

“Unfortunately, no,” says Perrine. “I must admit, I’m not exactly what you would call a girly girl who’s really big into dresses. Plus…” Perrine scratches the back of her head. “Haven’t found anyone who’d like to see me in one.”

“Ah.” You pat Perrine’s shoulder. “I know what you mean.”

Perrine grins. “But anyway! Let’s talk tanks, that’s girl enough for me!”

You nod. “Yeah, I was wondering if there any potential conversions for the Churchill and maybe the S35.”

“Well, we were just approved to start working on Sau 40 replicas and S40s as well, but it’ll take time to get components together. As for the Churchill, I agreed to turn it into a IX for say… free?”

“Are the S35 conversions free too?”

Perrine shrugs. “Depends. We have to put together a lot of components. Replications and such are not easy. I suppose if you want to be free, you’d have to wait a month, but if you want it like… in a week? I need some serious cash.”

> Talk with Perrine

“Say, Perrine, since my tour with you last time was cut short, do you mind if we finish it with a look at your Unlimited line up?”

Perrine gasps, stars in her eyes. “Really!?” She bounces in place. “Yay! Come on!” she grabs your hand and starts running down towards the Hangar.

“Okay! Okay! I get the point!” you say.

Perrine bursts through the doors and shows you the Unlimited Hangar. Tanks, tanks as far as the eye can see, all of them extensively modified with parts and kits both modern and vintage. “This is the Unlimited line up!”

You notice some familiar faces, the Super Maus for instance. Perrine also directs you to a Hellcat with a Pershing turret on it, along with a lengthened chassis. “That one we modified from the design you saw back in Bovington, we call it the Hellsing!”

She also shows you an absolutely huge monster of a tank. “That one is also new! We picked up the only Geschutzwagen Tiger chassis a week ago, turned it into my newest flag ship tank! It has about 200mm of frontal armor, a new customized turret with 110mm on all sides. Stratton is working on potential engine for it, to make sure it runs you know?”

You nod. You never even heard of a Geschutzwagen Tiger. Your stomach growls a bit. Might be time for lunch. Perrine asks you hopefully, “Impressed?”

>Say yes but with your soul crying inside

Not massively helpful, but it's something

> Yeah!

You nod. “It’s a really interesting set up you’ve got, Perrine!”

“Yep!” she says. She wraps her arm around you and waves her other arm around the line up. “Just look at it! The fruits of our labors made manifest! These are tanks that win tournaments!” She points to the G.W. Tiger. “I can’t wait until that one’s operational, definitely.”

“Of course,” says you. You feel a little empty inside for some reason. “Anyway, Perrine, what kind of money do you need for S35 conversions?”

She shrugs, stepping away from you, then scratching her chin. “Oh… 40,000 Dollars.”

You blink. “Eh?”

“I’d have to replicate the engine which means going to historics to find their blueprint, then I’d have to rebuild the parts of the engine in detail, then you have components like periscopes, suspension, drive, clutch, etcetera. Not to mention the new hull and the turret. And that’s just for the Sau 40 for which there’s a working prototype, but unfortunately the team that has it, Joan of Arc I believe it, they won’t share it. The S40 could clock at an additional 10,000.”

You blink. “Uh huh,” you say. “So… It’s expensive.”

“Very!” says Perrine.

>>30570295
>> Go have Lunch


I'm a little confused, so it costs 40,000 for the SaU40, but the S40 is 50,000?

Did I understand that correctly?

Also do we have to hand the Somua for an entire month? Or can we keep it until she can gather the parts?

>>30570295
> Go have Lunch
> Talk with Perrine
Mr. Mishka wasn't kidding about the prices of those prototypes.

>>30570295
>The S40 could clock at an additional 10,000.

So it costs 10,000 dollars or is it 50,000?

>>30570295
> 40,000

Jesus fuck, we're better off buying an entirely new tank.

>>30570411
It says additional, so 50,000.

>>30570428
Well to be fair, that's only to speed up production.

It will take a month if it's for free. Though if that's the case I hope we can hold on to the Somua while they get the parts.

Either that or try to convince John of Arc academy to lend them the tank if we ever meet them.

I agree it's not worth the price tag but there's alternatives

> Go have Lunch
> Talk with Perrine

With that, you leave the Workshop and head to the most expedient place to have lunch.

MCDONALDS.

You chew on your fry, your crew all gathered around while Perrine hungrily chews through huge burgers, fries, chicken nuggets, and other meals. “So, Perrine.”

Perrine stops her eating. “Hm?”

“So that’s really the price?”

Perrine nods, smiling. “50,000 for the S40, 40,000 for the SaU 40. Of course, if you want a production SaU 40 with the 47mm AT gun, that’s about… 37,000 Dollars?”

You nod. “Why is that expensive?”

“They’re prototypes,” says Perrine. “Very rare tanks indeed, and I’m not surprised people use them because of that. They’re mainly museum pieces anyway.”

“Of course,” you say.

>>30570428
The S35 is fine for now, but when we want to replace it, I think Needlepoint would only go for a French tank. 40K's not that bad, we've had that much money before and we'll only be earning more as the quest goes on.

More wins = more sponsors.
Converting the S35 is a viable option.

>>30570452
Jesus Christ, It's even more expensive then the SaU40

I knew the SaU40 will be expensive, but the S-40 had already began production, and some were outfitted to some companies.

I wanted it since I thought it will be cheaper. (Still kind of is since it's free) but depending if we have to give WC the Somua for a month, it may not be worth it at this stage

>>30570540

>>30570540

>>30570545
Still expensive as fuck. Kind of agree with the anon on this.

Though it is free but I don't like the fact that we may have to give WC the S35 for a month.

Also the S40 wasn't a prototype was it?

it was in production and had about 100 chassis built. Also the Japanese placed an order for some

>>30570540
>Talk to Perrine (Casual)

We're friends and she did everything she could for us.

>>30570540
>> Talk with Perrine
>They’re mainly museum pieces anyway.
Or something for the Unlimited leagues?

>>30570619
So? You figure we'll find more Tiger II's? You think Needlepoint would be cool getting stuck in a completely different tank? We can't get stuck up on spending our money as efficiently as possible, we don't have time and means to do that.

The S40 or SaU40 aren't bad options, just one's we won't touch for a while when we build up money and are relatively comfortable with the rest of our lineup.

> Talk with Perrine

“So, Perrine, let’s stop talking business. How are things going for you? Anything with classes?”

Perrine says, “Oh! My professor tells me I might have a full run to MIT. Exciting but I kind of want to stay here on Walter Christie. It’s really one of those schools I love! It’s the engineering and the… everything! Hell, you should transfer here!”

You nod. “I’ll consider it.” You don’t have plans on transferring just yet.

Perrine smiles. “Great!” She bites down on a burger. “What about you guys?” she says to the rest of your crew. “Do you guys find Walter Christie okay?”

“Well,” says Nancy. “It’s a nice school! Are there any interesting clubs!”

“Sure are!” says Perrine. She starts counting off her fingers. “There’s the Engineering Club, Assault Engineering, Civil Engineering-“

Lisa says, “Are there any clubs that don’t have to do with engineering?”

Perrine blinks. “Hm. Well, I do support the Archeology department, they’re usually the ones who dig up the tanks for me. Why, last year, we actually got into a really bitter war with Chi-Ha-Tan.”

“Really?” says Kitten. “How bitter?”

“So bitter!” says Perrine. “Apparently, we found the only O-I in existence in Manchuria. It was a veritable Jone-sy style adventure trying to claim it!”

You nod, your interest piqued. “Who got it?”

Perrine sighs. “Chi-Ha-Tan. Though, they don’t list it on their roster. I’m actually not entirely sure why they’re not using it.”

Well it was mostly business which as a student of WC she is well versed.

But I also see your point, let's talk about (somewhat for Tankery girls) normal stuff

>>30569242

It's a museum piece like you said before, also a prototype, they either want to preserve it or trying to save money on restoring it .

>>30570793
Again, the conversions are free, it's that it will take a month to do so.

Again not sure if I want to wait a month on a tank

>>30570807
>>30570878


Tell her this, check the time, and say goodbye

>>30570828
The Way, is the S40 a prototype? (The Calvary tank, not the SaU40)

>>30570900
Not until we have a better idea of the timetable for this whole tournament. Jesus, this is something we should know.
If we have time and either an extra tank or an extra crew entirely to cover for them, then we can do the conversion.

Seriously though, we should take note to ask someone roughly when all these matches will take place. It will make managing our time and money a lot easier.

> Return to your Ship

You all stand up. “Well, Perrine. I oughta head back.” You check the time, 2:30. Almost time for the match. “My crews are probably going to worry.”

“Oh, I won’t keep you then!” says Perrine. “Good luck to you in the match, hope we give each other a good game, yeah?”

You nod, smiling. “Yeah, Perrine.”

You all hop back into Cupid then drive off towards the loading area. You’re back onto the elevator in no time and soon you’re on the Jetty with all the rest of the tanks ready for movement to the staging area. All your crews are out and about in uniform, talking, going over maps again, or just goofing off.

Kate walks over to Luciano. “Here,” she says, handing over a compass. “This’ll help.”

Luciano glares at Kate, swiping the compass. “I don’t need your help.”

“Then why did you take my compass?”

Luciano fumes, walking away. “Whatever!”

Charlotte simply stares at the compass, grumpy. “Hey, Charlotte,” you say. She looks at you, surprised. “Focused?”

Charlotte nods violently. “Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Let’s just get this match over with.”

“Hey, don’t beat yourself up. You did fine in the match with Saunders. Two kills you know?” The five of them all mutter and shrug at that. “Stop beating yourselves up. You’ll do fine.”

Nancy walks over to you. “President, I think it’s time for a rousing speech.”

You nod. You walk over to Cupid and climb up onto the turret. “Everyone! Listen up!” All the crews turn to face you. “Today is our match with Walter Christie!”

“Right, I’ll try not to make this pre-battle speech a traditional thing but lets just listen up for a bit. We all know Walter Christie. We’ve all seen what they do to tanks.” You point to Janek. “Janek, do you want Hobart to turn Szarik into some wild machine with two turrets and an jet engine?”

Janek yells, “Hell no!” The Poles all shout and whoop.

“Anna!” you yell. “Are you going to let Hobart turn Ross into some casemate with a giant 105mm gun strapped to it!”

“That’d be like wearing denim jackets with denim jeans in the 60s!” yells Anna.

“… okay. Point is, they think that just because their tanks are special, that means their tanks are invincible! We are going to show them that they’re wrong! Who’s with me!?”

Everyone hollers and shouts, raising their fists.

> + 5 MORALE ACROSS ALL CREWS (EXCEPTING TEAM CAMPFIRE AND TEAM MACHINA)

“Alright, everyone in your tanks! Let’s head out!” Everyone starts hopping in their tanks. You pull up the hatch and slide in. “Lisa! Let’s roll out!” You can just hear Nancy hum Amazing Grace as you start out of the jetty and towards the staging area.

If we have only a few HVAP's, it would be preferential to get the E-100 in a disadvantegoues poition. Take a shot at it's flank or rear, if those have thinner armor.

> Talk with a Crew (Team Tigris)

You say over the radio as you drive. “Guys, it seems like the E-100 might be a sure thing. Can your guns penetrate it?”

Kate says, “From the rear at point blank, maybe.”

“That doesn’t reassure me.”

Octavia says, “Look, we’ve never fought an E-100 with this kind of gun. Michelle is admittedly a bit rusty with her penetration values. Point is, it might be a bit difficult, even with us.”

“But don’t worry,” says Kate. “If we do end up facing it, I guarantee you, it will go down.”

You nod. “Alright, girls. Thanks.”

With that, you arrive at the staging area. Crowds are about with heavy coats as they prepare to watch the match on screen. You, Luciano, and Kate dismount as you walk on down to the venue where the judges and Perrine Hobart are gathered.

The judges greet you. “Nora Rasmussen.”

“Janet Blomgren.”

“Hilda Hall.”

You nod. “Nice to meet you three. Thanks for judging.”

Nora says, “When you pass this match, you’ll move on to face Chi-Ha-Tan in the next, they won their last match yesterday.”

You nod. “Alright.”

In good time, you’re all at the starting positions, ready to initiate the plan. Marina hops out of her tank however and quickly climbs up yours. “We’re ready to do what you ask. Which wing of the attack should we go with?”

Sorry, I must not have seen them. Plus, I probably should've mentioned that Command Perks are unique and thus you can't assign Far Sight to both Officers.

You say, “Guide on me. We’ll keep you covered.” Marina nods then heads back to her tank quickly. You say over the radio. “Alright, I want medium tanks on me. Luciano, Marina, and Samantha. Janek, I want you and Anna to punch right up the center. Kate, you’ll take Cathy, Keegan, and Dales. Everyone understand their place?”

“Yeah!” says everyone.

“Alright,” you say. You put on your helmet, doing up the straps. “Let’s give what for then.”

The flare shoots up into the sky, then bursts into a brilliant explosion against the setting sun.

“ADVANCE!”

As you drive out to the flanking point, you observe the map of the area with what little light is remaining.

Kitten says, “I’m not going to like fighting in the dark.”

You shrug. “Neither am I, so let’s try and make this quick. Can we go any faster, Lisa?”

“Do you want to break the suspension?” says Lisa.

“Touche.”

After about five minutes of idle driving, Kate reports in. “We’re on the Highway heading south. No contact with Christie so far. We’ll keep you updated.”

“Janek here, we’re moving through, nothing so far.”

“Roger,” you say. You feel your leg getting bumped. Nancy is offering you a ham and cheese sandwich.

“Just in case you get hungry,” says Nancy, smiling. You smile back and take it. Might as well.

Here we go

This is the thickness the angles create.

UFP = 400mm
> sin30 = 200/h Where h is the Hypotenuse

LFP = 233.3mm
> sin40 = 150/h

Rear = 173mm
> sin30 = 150/h

Turret front (Henschel) = 231mm
> sin60 = 200/h

Turret side = 91.4mm
> sin61 = 90/h

Turret rear = 155.3mm
> sin75 = 150/h

Side armor is 175mm with skirts
Shooting the 17Pdr it can penetrate up to 140mm (500yards)
> Turret sides
Shooting Sabots (at close range mind you as accuracy suffers over distance) it'll penetrate up to 208mm
> Turret side
> Turret rear
> Rear
> Side

The Long 88 can penetrate up to 185mm (500m)
> Turret side
> Turret rear
> Rear
Shooting APCR it can penetrate up to 217mm
> Turret side
> Turret rear
> Rear
> Side

The 76mm on the Sherman and Hellcat shooting standard it's only going APC M62 is only going to manage 93mm (500yards)
Shooting AP M72 it's going to manage 109mm
> Turret side
Shooting HVAP it's going to manage 157mm
> Turret side
> Turret rear

The long 75 on the Panther shooting APCR can manage 175mm (500m)
> Rear
> Turret side
> Turret rear
> Side

How ever, these penetration values are against homogenous steel. German big cats had their armor face hardened to shatter the shells.
If I were going to put my money anywhere, it would be on a mobility kill and making the E100 a non-factor

>>30572768

You check the maps again as you trudge along. The sun’s already pretty much set on the day, and night is beginning to approach fast.

The M3 Lee CDL you caught a glimpse of at the Workshop apparently still has its 75mm hull gun intact, while the turret is now armed with an incredibly powerful spotlight. Nobody is really going to like being on the receiving end of that, not even you.

However, most of their tanks are not really armed for long-range combat like you are, save for the Panzer III with the squeezebore 75mm. Indeed, the only one with a hope of long range combat is the E-100. And you have no idea where either are. The AVRE especially is going to have to close to stupidly close range to even have a hope of hitting you with that mortar.

You look out to see some smoke to the East towards where you’re heading going all the down south towards Kate. That has to be their entire team.

“Kate,” you say. “I think you might have some company.”

Kate says, “Acknowledged.”

Would be great if we could pull that off. Also, isn't a nightfight an ambush game ? As in. why don't we sit tight and have thwm come to us ?

Or use flares and lamps to confuse them and lure them into an ambush ?

Is that Legal? I mean I thought the CDL we're only equipped with a dummy gun?

>>30572936

I wonder if we can put Kate in Lockdown and have Janek act as a spotter. Too janky an idea maybe.

>>30572883
> Check in a Crew (Wojtek, Needlepoint)
Have them arrayed near any forest cover that's overlooking the E6 highway.

I have a hunch that this might be another ploy to have us assume that this is the entirety of their force moving out.
We need real intel.

>>30572999
Like Girl Scouts? Or backstage personnel that do that kind of work in the dark, while the spotlight is on the stage?

Didn't the Panther have historical night vision devices? I guess that must be post-war, right?

>>30573070
They were installed on 100 Panther G models before the war ended. Vision was limited to 100m so they had to travel with specialized trucks that had an IR searchlight.

>>30573055

The night has pretty much fallen completely. You can barely see ahead of you as you lead the pack.

“Janek, Anna, you see anything?” you ask over the radio.

Anna says, “I see a really huge tank! Looks like the E-100. It’s blocking off the highway I think, I can’t really tell! And I can barely make out another tank too.”

You say, “I think I might have seen smoke, but it can’t just be those two tanks.”

Kate says, “I saw the smoke too. I can’t really see anything now, really wish I had one of those IR nightvision thingies those wehraboos always like to talk about.”

You say, “Well, does an E-100 kick up that much smoke when it moves?”

“No tank kicks up that much smoke,” says Octavia.

You blink. Then what-

“It’s a trap!” yells Luciano. “They’re all here!”

You yell, “Lisa! REVERSE!”

Your Sherman brakes hard, slamming your head against the cupola. Good thing you’re wearing a helmet. Then your tank rumbles at loud explosions right in front of you and among your positions. “What’s going on!?” You check out the periscope, only to get blinded by an intense white light from some indeterminate direction. “GAH!” You recoil back, rubbing your eyes. “MOTHERFUCKER!”

“WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?” yells Samantha.

“I CAN’T SEE THEM, MY EYES!” yells Marina.

“EVERYTHING IS GOING WRONG!” screams Luciano.

You yell over the radio. “EVERYONE, STAND FAST!” You bust open an emergency kit in the Sherman then pull out a flare. This will do. You pop out of the cupola and pop the flare, revealing you and your tank still in pristine condition. “Follow my flare! Reverse and fall back!” Lisa keeps the tank moving backwards while making sure to change direction, dodging and juking round after round.

“I can see Gertrude!” yells Marina. Their tanks, once scattered and rolling about, now fall back into a proper wedge formation behind you. Your tanks start backing out of the huge amount of explosions which periodically blind you.

> TEAM BEARCAT IS NO LONGER FRENZIED
> TEAM LAST-CHANCERS IS NO LONGER FRENZIED
> TEAM MINIE IS NO LONGER FRENZIED

You yell over the radio. “Janek! Anna! Come up from the south, take the guys north of you, see if you can dislodge them! We’ll try and support what we can!”

“LET’S DO THIS!” yells Janek. You can see some pops of white and yellow, assumedly Anna and Janek rolling into Walter Christie’s south.

Alright. Now to- “GAH!” you scream. The M3 Lee CDL blinds you with its flash again. It’s definitely northerly. Considering how much fire you’re taking, you can safely assume all of Walter Christie is here and attacking you.

Keep out of the light. Try getting Rid of the CDL with the Machine Guns

Also watch our read, this seems like something in which we're being distracted while Perrine is gettign close

>>30573345
HE at the northerly positions. The Dust will reflect the light and blind them.

Then us and Luciano head to help the scouts. I'd commit the KV and T-34 but they need to stick together and retreat. It's a bit risky for a flag tank.

>>30573345
>Other (Write-in)

We can't do a thing with the CDL dazzling us. Split up our tanks so it can't blind us all at once. Coordinate with the other tanks to take it out. That thing is literally a giant SHOOT ME signal as long as that light is on.

Recall Kate's group and regroup with us and flank from the south. The E-100 won't be able to keep up off road and should be a nonfactor.

So I guess it would be safe to assume the flag is hiding behind the E-100 since that's the thing we really don't want to tangle with.

> Check in a Crew (Tigris)
Have them come up to support us. When they arrive we can dispatch our scouts to look for the flag.

>>30573427

“Ramirez! Load High Explosive round!” Ramirez picks an HE Shell out of the ready rack and slams it down the breech. “Nancy, fire at the ground, we need the cover of dust now!”

Your tanks depress their barrels and start firing at the ground. The ground explodes into huge clouds of dust and smoke, obscuring your position. You’ve got some time now. “Kate!” you yell. “I need you and your team up here now to help!”

“Alright,” says Kate.

FUck

>>30573609
Move south. The flank there is split so we can take them out. Stick together and try not to expose yourself.

>>30573618
>>30573660
No. Seriously, no. It would be like trying to ram the Chaufee, but we'd be facing down their entire team instead. And we can't shoot at them. And they all see us.

>>30573660
>> BLITZ!: - 15 CP
Won't that put us closer to the AA tanks and E-100 ? I agree we have to do something to get the advantage back, butI'm not sure about Blitz.

>>30573609
We managed to Split them up, we need to take the advantage give to us.

>Blitz

>>30573711
E-100 is at the Bridge, the AA Guns are troublesome though

>>30573660
>>30573715
Why Blitz? Attacking is fine but we don't even know where the opponent is.

Okay yes, we know their northern positions but assaulting that is suicidal. Assuming Perrine is there, and she probably is, she can counter our move.

Hit the southern positions. They're already split down there and we can pick them off. It'll also allow us to regroup with Kate.

>>30573715
We don't have an advantage. Trying to charge them is like being the targets in a shooting gallery. I'll be damn fucking pissed if you end the quest early because you got too excited.

>>30573609
Keep trying to cover our retreat, get the crews with us to fire off HE too.

>>30573609
Can't we aim for the center of their lights and give them some rounds?

>>30573609
>Attack

Don't fucking blitz them! The majority of their firepower is in MORTARS AND ASSAULT GUNS. They have the advantage if we try to close the distance! Focus on neutralizing the CDL and hit them from range. We are far better in a standoff confrontations.

Leave it to Kate's group to capitalize on their split formation.

>>30573752
Hit the southern positions. They're already split down there and we can pick them off. It'll also allow us to regroup with Kate.

>>30573734
I'll take a better look at the map. Thanks to the anon who made the markers.

8 vs 9

>>30573609
So there are 4 tanks in Anna's and Janek's position, two on Kate's side, and 1 is KO'd.

Three (3) might be at the far right position, which obviously includes the CDL. Which leaves the SU-14-2 and either their flag or Perrine's AVRE guarding it.

> Check in a Crew (Kate)
Can she confirm that it's the Flag Tank with the E-100?

>>30573479

>>30573618
>>30573759
Don't we have smoke rounds? Wouldn't those do better to obscure vision?

>>30573609
I vote we pop those off to cover our movements towards the south group. We really want to regroup with Kate.

to

Southern Flank

>>30573808
Dust does better to reflect the light back at the opponent. Seelow heights 1945.

>>30573609
Get rid of the CDL, use our bigger guns to hit them from a distince

>>30573894
Maybe we should get Luciano to Far Sight the thing and point it out to us.

> Attack

You turn out of the hatch and observe the southern hill. “Charlotte, Samantha, Marina, follow me! We’re heading south!”

“Roger!” the three of them yell. Your tanks start moving while you still have cover. The spotlight occasionally tries to pop at you but all it’s doing now is revealing its position and probably blinding themselves in the process.

“Gertrude! Get down!” screams Kitten. You immediately head down into the cupola. Just in time for 20mm and 30mm shells to start blasting at you at your hull. The entire tank starts shaking and rumbling. Nancy and Ramirez brace, gritting their teeth.

“Damage?” you ask.

Lisa says, “We’re surprisingly okay!”

Nancy gets back on the gun. “I see them!”

“Fire when ready!”

Cupid fires his gun, the round zooming through the darkness and finding its mark into the side of the Grizzly I.

> KO: GRIZZLY I SKINK “Mork” (COMP. SPEC.)

“Yeah!” yells Nancy. She high fives Ramirez who immediately loads in a new AP round.

“This is Cathy! We’re taking point heading north- What the fuck is that?” yells Cathy.

“That’s the Kugelblitz,” yells Kate. “It’s bouncing off your armor.”

“Really? Never had that before! FIRE!”

8 Vs 7

>>30573938
So we see exactly where they are? How about we spread our forces and unleash Blitz!
We'd only have to worry about the CDL I think, since artillery would do a crap job meeting a charge.

Have Luciano use Far Sight if we don't know the exact position of the CDL

>>30573938
We lost all of our Scouts.

I suggest We have the T-34-76 become our scout and observe the high way bridge.

The rest we move forward and attack and have Luciano keep eye on any ambuses

>>30573938

then

>>30574082
Don't the early model T-34s have really crappy optics?

> IMPROVED INTUITION: - 1 CP
> Attack

“Alright, general assault! Let’s move! Luciano, stay in back in case the E-100 tries to come around!”

“Roger!” yells Luciano.

“Everyone else, assault!”

Indeed, assault. The King Tiger will roll up first, they have almost nothing that can frontally penetrate a Tiger, save for a few SPGs with big guns. Even then, Michelle’s a good gunner, she can nail them.

Walter Christie’s tanks start firing off huge amounts of flares, giving away their positions as they start rolling down their hill out of the forest and towards you all. The King Tiger fires off a shot at the CDL, sparks flying right out of the slot on the turret.

> KO: M3 LEE CANAL DEFENSE LIGHT “God’s Nightlight” (COMP. SPEC.)

“Woo!” you yell. “Awesome!”

The Churchill accelerates, almost ludicrously fast, towards you, the rest of the tanks following behind it.

>>30574301

They're outgunned and outarmoured, this is a desperation move. We don't need to waste the CP.

In fact, we can put the Aces into Lockdown and make our win assured.

>>30574368
Everyone's forgetting their SU-14-1

>>30574352

>Have the KV be protected by the Tiger.

and Have Kate use Lockdown

Whatever we do, let's not put our flag in the thick of it! WC could get lucky, I think that's exactly what they're counting on.

Have the KV-85 retreat, tell Luciano to guard it!

>>30574368
>They're outgunned and outarmoured
But supposedly pretty good at close range. And we still haven't killed that fucking light yet. Putting the Aces into Lockdown is good though.

>>30574395
Well crap. We're pinned in a perfect shooting gallery. K then, counter blitz it is
>Blitz!

>>30574395
I'm pretty sure the E-100 has to stick to the roads if it wants to get anywhere, so we could retreat to the West.

“CHARGE!” you scream. Everyone screams like furies as they power up their engines and start the attack.

You brace for any inevitable impacts. The tank whines as it scrapes right against Perrine’s AVRE. “Nancy, can you get a shot!?”

“Nope!” yells Nancy.

You peer at the chaos through the periscope. The SU-14-2 fires its massive main gun, blasting the Sentinel tank and flipping it end over end.
