Thought lost to an unknown raid, this tank was found again, and restored to full functioning order. Strangely, despite the reputation of Sherman Jumbos being rather clumsily heavy and slow, “Cobra King” is actually relatively speedy and agile for REGULAR Shermans.

“Mmmmm!” Serafina pouts furiously as she sits upon her Pershing tank. “I don’t wanna be the Flag tank! Being a Flag tank is dumb! Głupi!” The other Poles all groan and mutter in Polish, sitting their respective spots in the Pershing.

“Serafina, I’m jealous,” you say. “I’d like to be the Flag tank for a change.”

“Hmph!” She turns her nose up. “False words!” Where did Serafina get the thesaurus to tell you that you’re a liar?

“Look, it’s an important responsibility. I know this means you won’t be directly engaging the enemy because of our lack of uh… well, tanks and tanks that can actually fight Heinlein. But at least try and go into the match with some enthusiasm?”

She grumbles, folding her arms. “… dobra.” She rests her chin on the turret cupola, still grumbling.

Serafina squints at you. The other Poles look at you as if you just promised them something incredibly good. “Like what?”

You shrug. “I dunno, whatever you’d like.”

“Hm.” She nods at you. “We shall see.” Right, right.

You check your watch. The match is starting a little earlier today. That means there’s no time to have fun at the fair. You decide to swing on over to see what the crew is doing.

And judging by the state of your tank, things are going mildly well. Oleg coughs, waving some smoke out of his face. “I have not seen this much smoke since Siberia!” He stands up, groaning as he picks up his toolkit. “Solnyshka! Engine should be fine for now, but do not stress the revs. I may have to come back and fix it later after match, okay?”

“Thanks, Oleg,” you say. Oleg nods, walking away to tend to the Churchill. Winona, Stack, Ingrid, and Josephina are already at their positions. “Everybody ready?”

“Should be,” says Stack. “Think we can get them today?”

“Of course we can. We always win our flag matches you know?” You fold your arms. “I’ve got faith that we’re due for a win today.” Everyone dismounts Oliver, ready. “I believe, you guys. Do you?”

Everyone looks at each other, then sort of shrugs. “I do!” says Josephina.

Stack smirks, then raises her hand. “I do too!”

Ingrid huffs. “Let’s just fucking get this over with.”

You meet on the stage again across from the Heinlein crews. Dix has elected to fight in this battle it seems, along with some fresh faces but quite a few commanders from last match as well, utilizing new tanks too. You fold your arms as Dix comes over to greet you all. “Hey, hey, cowboys. Where’s the one girl that destroyed all of our Chaffees?” You all look over to Iris. “Well, hey, hey! Come here!” Iris walks over, stiff as a board. “Kudos, yeah? You could’ve had a shot if you were in a better tank!”

“Perhaps,” says Iris. “It was a good match regardless, Captain Hauser.”

“Ooooh, formal!” Dix responds with a swift punch to the arm, making her flinch. “I like that! Formal people are real unflappable.” She points to you. “Seriously, it was really pissing me off how she just wouldn’t die.”

“Well, Dix. We’re gonna make you mad again. Because we’re here to win.”

Dix smirks, looking over at Griselda. “You’re raising some mighty confident crews, Gris. It’ll be an honor to put them in their place.” She walks back to her end as the judges arrive. You look to the bleachers and see that many students have come by from the school to support you. Even the Cheerleaders are out in force, chanting the “I Believe in LGA” song.

Now that you think about it, has anyone actually heard the Lafayette Girls Academy March?

“Let the match begin!”

You stand turned out in the hatch of Oliver the Cromwell tank. The flare shoots up into the sky, signaling the start of the match. “Alright, advance!” The Sherman, the IS-2, the Pershing, and the Churchill start moving towards Route 15. “We’ll dig in around Route 15. Ellie, you got Suvorov, find a way around their flank!”

“Ellie, want us to come with you?” asks Serafina.

forest doesnt exist, schteel cleared this up last thread

not sure what the actual terrain is, but it isnt the thick forest on google maps

>>47255096
In place of the forest is light vegetation with the occasional tree dotting the landscape here and there.

Next time though anons, remind me to actually give you guys a terrain forecast on these maps. I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be a thing but I forgot to do it for this match.

“Suvorov, come with me. We’re flanking south.” You turn your tanks southward and start going down the thin road into one of the more twisty and windy hill passes.”

“We’re going to start digging in here,” says Griselda. “Serafina, don’t move, just stay behind us, don’t dig in. We need you to be ready for a quick retreat.”

“Got it,” says Serafina. “Ugh…”

Josephina and Ingrid turned out of their respective hatches, enjoying the fresh breeze on their faces. “You know, it’s not so bad,” says Josephina. “Driving our tank on a nice country road, not having to worry about being shot at for now.”

Ingrid rolls her eyes. “Great, now even Josephina is trying to make the situation sound good.”

“I’m just saying…” Josephina blushes a little, pouting.

Suvorov follows closely behind, turned out of her turret. Patton and Giap are turned out of the turret side hatches as well, looking around. “Commander!” She must mean you. “How much farther!?”

“We’re not even halfway, just relax,” you call.

“Suvorov.” You motion forward with your hand. “Take point from us, we’ll follow behind.”

“Yes, a chance to show our stuff!” The Panzer III speeds past you, barreling down the road at flank speed.

“Don’t strain the tank!” you call out. Too late, they’re gone. “Ingrid.” You lower yourself down, and find Ingrid consulting a map. “Do you have an ETA on when we might there?” you ask.

Ingrid looks back, adjusting her glasses as she fumbles with her headset. “Er… might be another twenty minutes at this speed.” Ugh. You fold your arms, grimacing a little.

“This is Griselda, we see them coming up the road,” she says. “Looks like ten tanks in our view, there might be more coming. I see Pershings and Jumbos.” Only half so far. Rest might be staying back.

In fact, you got a hunch. The Flag Tank is probably staying back. Probably with the Elite crews. Ugh, facing Elite tanks with just the two of you? That’ll be something to handle. At least Jacksons theoretically have thin armor.

“We’re at the rally point!” says Suvorov. “What are your orders?”

With the bendy and twisty roads now out of the way, you were free to open up the engines to climb up and move up on Skyline. “Griselda, I’m going to flank them on Skyline over Route 15! Stand by!” You hear some cannon fire. Yep, it’s begun!

> KO: CPL. “KODIAK” FENTON (M36 Jackson “Hood”)
> KILL CREDITED TO: GRISELDA POOL (M4 Sherman)

“First blood! Keep firing!” yells Griselda.

You and Suvorov arrive on the ridge to see the tanks now in their ambush defense formation from yesterday. Apparently they must have figured you’d pull this stuff again. The Pershings are all in front, with the Shermans (Including Cobra King) behind, followed by the Jacksons, and the M45 Pershings bringing up the rear. All in all, the only tanks missing were the Elite Shermans and their Flag tank.

One Sherman is blasted, its turret warping and gun almost falling out of its mount.

> KO: CPL. “STRIPESY” POSEY (M4A3E2 Sherman “Trumbull”

“Our first kill! NAVAL STUDIES RESCUE RULES!” yells Taney.

You look over to see that your friendly tanks have dug themselves quite deeply, digging themselves into hull down positions and packing dirt on the lip in front of their glacis plates. Should buy them some time.

Suddenly, breaking formation is Cobra King. It busts out of the defense formation, forcing everyone in behind to readjust. It turns itself towards you, then starts barreling up at you. Oh boy. “Cobra King is coming at us, shoot it!” Iris and Suvorov’s Pershing attempt to get shots off.

But to everyone’s surprise, they all miss. Cobra King actually outruns the shells.

This is going to be a long day.

The way it's been written, I have doubts, seeing as this is a legendary tank. Of course, it could be that 'Friar' is a damn good tank commander. and is just freaking me out.

“Back it up!” You and Suvorov retreat back behind the ridge before you can even get a shot off. Cobra King hurls itself over the ridge, firing a shot at you. It grazes across the turret of the Panzer III. “Suvorov!”

“Ah! We’re okay! We’re okay!” The huge gash across the turret side along with the dislodged turret hatch don’t really indicate that. You fire off a smoke bomb, dousing yours and Suvorov’s position in obscuring smoke as you two begin backing up further on Skyline.

“Ellie, talk to me, what’s going on up there!?” she asks.

“It’s the fucking Jumbo!” you yell. “The really fast one!”

“Aah! Damn it! Well- don’t do anything stupid! Try and disable it somehow!”

You turn out again and yell over to Suvorov. “Suvorov, keep backing up, fire everything we got at it!” She salutes, and the two of you fire a shell each from your guns. They pass through the smoke, and you do hear one “dink” sound, which indicates a bounce. Of course. Jumbos.

“Ellie, Ellie!” Ingrid gets your attention as she pokes her head outside of her hatch. “I think I can see their flag tank down there!” You look to the right to see the Flag tank, sitting down the road, surrounded by the Elite Shermans.

“Go after it!” yells Suvorov. “We’ll buy you some time!” Wait, think about this first. Surrounded by five Elite Shermans. It’ll be a difficult prospect to even go in alone. You’d need Suvorov to help you assault the area.

Suvo won't last a minute against it alone, but if we each rush it from a different side, one of us might get a killshot.

Serafina is the one in the Pershing. Suvorov is with us in a PzIII J

I wonder if we can upgrade it to a PzIII K later on.

>>47256897
Okay from what we see, The Pershing, the Jumbos, and the Jacksons which were 14 in number are attacking route 15, while the Elites and the Flag are chilling in the back?

Charge CK on either side through the smoke.

They think we're reversing at the pitiful reverse speed we can pull off in the Cromwell, so they'll get a surprise when we come bursting back through the smoke on either side of them. They can at worst only destroy one of us, so let's give 'em the beans and CHARGE

>>47256972

“Suvorov, no, we’re taking this thing down together! You cut left, I’ll cut right! We go at flank speed!”

“A- alright!” Your tanks start charging towards the smoke. Hopefully it holds until you get there, then you can pounce.

“We’re dead!” says Regina. “Sorry, Naval Studies Rescue will have to save you another time!”

You groan. Ugh. As you barrel towards the smoke cloud, you can only hope that the line will hold long for you to take out Cobra King AND take out the Flag tank as well. That’s the dream anyway. Suddenly, Cobra King roars out of the smoke cloud, racing towards you two. “Oh shit! Watch out!”

It fires, sending a shot careening towards you. You nearly get a haircut out of how close that was. Time to button up! You look through the periscope to see Suvorov firing at Cobra King, then shifting left. The shot only plinks off the front armor as it rushes towards you.

But it does turn its turret towards her. “Josephina, bring us around to its side!”

“Oui!” she yells. Oliver shifts right, trying to build up more speed.

“Come on, come on! They’re about to get a fix on Suvorov!”

Too late, Cobra King fires again. This time, it lands a shot right into the suspension. The tracks explode apart and the tank goes careening out of control. “WE’LL MEET AGAIN COBRA KING!” yells Suvorov as it slides out of view.

And to that, Cobra King starts turning towards you. Not pivoting in place, but having to creep forward and turn (Shermans can’t pivot in place after all.) You fire a shot, which actually slams right into their tracks, bursting one of the road bogies apart.

Cobra King continues to track you however. Thing about Shermans, they have very fast turret rotation speed.

“Keep going, around their rear!” The turret continues to track you, trying to catch up. That’s how you’ll get him. Once you see the flat of the engine block, you yell out, “Stop!” Oliver grinds to a halt, and you hear the suspension creak and groan under the strain of braking so quickly. Cobra King’s turret overshoots you, buying a few precious seconds. “Fire!”

Your Six Pounder plants a shot right into their engine block, setting it aflame.

“Yeah!” Stack grabs your leg, shaking it happily. “We did it!” You quickly kick her away. Stack, never grab your leg!

You quickly drive over to the Historians, who are busy picking up the pieces of their wrecked tracks and suspension. Suvorov calls you over. “It’s going to take us hours to repair this! We’re stuck here!”

Alright, if you can cause enough damage to the advancing column while they’re not in ambush defense, you might be able to draw out the Flag tank in fact. Desperation isn’t when people make good decisions after all. “Griselda, I’m going try and slow them down!”

“Copy!”

You quickly speed past Suvorov and find yourself a nice little perch to fire down on the advancing column. There they are! “Go for the engine blocks, Winona!”

“Got it!” The tank rocks back from another blast.

And you receive another kill. The leading tank in fact. The shot lands smack dab in their engine, causing an eruption of fire to burst out of it. “Wooo!” you yell.

The remaining Heinlein tanks start reversing, trying to get past the wreckage of their fallen. “We got them!” yells Griselda. “Everyone, keep firing, eliminate as many as you can!”

“Ellie, it’s Suvorov! I got Patton scouting out the south! She’s telling me the Flag tank is on the move towards Route 15!” Probably to rally with the survivors and find a place to hold out. They need to go on the defense now that offense has failed.

You continue speeding off and away up the ridge, then find the Flag tank being escorted in by its honor guard of five Elite tanks. That was a nice thought Dix, leaving those Elite tanks behind to guard the flag, but not at the expense of your armored column. “Fire a shot at them, Winona!” Your Six Pounder fires, knocking against the side of one of the E8s. They all stop, and begin turning their turrets to you. Oh shit. “BACK!” you yell. You narrowly avoid the full barrage of six tanks.

oops, so we did

Still, just hide for now, wait for reinforcements

>>47258876
If we hide, they'll regroup, we have to keep bugging them so Iris and Gelselda can snipe them from the rear.

The most important question I have is whether or not Dadpool is going to show up again. Dude is so based.

>>47258886
Well, I was thinking that using the smoke we could just be popping in and out and repeatedly firing, kinda like a whack-a-mole.

“Give us some smoke cover!” Stack loads a new smoke bomb. And it goes, spraying the area around you with smoke. Perfect for popping in and out. “Alright, Josephina, in and out, carefully!”

“Okay!” Josehpina peers through the driver’s hatch, goggles on and helmet strapped tight to her head. You poke out of the smoke, and see the E8s still targeting you. “Oh shit, fire, fire!” They fire back at you, all of them. And while most miss as you retreat back into the smoke, you’re suddenly dazed by a 90mm shell grazing the turret. The tank rocks to the side from the impact.

“Ah!” Winona is thrown out of her seat.

“Winona!” You pick her back up carefully, and help her back in. “Alright you alright!?”

“Yeah, yeah!” Winona grabs the controls again.

Ingrid groans, holding her headphones. “I HATE BEING SHOT AT!” she screams.

You poke out of the smoke again, then look down at Route 15. You see the remaining Jackson fly right past the Flag tanks, apparently not even bothering to rally back with them. You look over again to see quite the sight.

The Sherman and the Churchill are pushing the wreck of a Pershing towards the Flag tank. Streaks of embers fly as they push the useless hulk around as a shield. They’re using it for cover. The girl still in the Pershing yells at them indistinctly. The E8s fire at Griselda and Iris, but their shots go wide or they hit the Pershing’s backside.

Now that you’re attacking from two different angles, and with Griselda and Iris pressing the attack, now seems like the time…

Sniper time

>>47259155
What's our range to target GS?

>>47259281
According to the map, somewhere in the neighborhood of 500-800m I think.

>>47259155
Our gun's not great at this range so

>Charge in

>>47259305
So we're looking at 70-75mm pen with AP. We'll go through the side easy but that's a pretty easy shot to bounce if it goes anywhere near the upper glacis. Probably better to try and close while they're distracted.

>Deploy Smoke (1/3)

Yeah, though a better order would probably be

>Charge Through smoke
>Emerge and begin firing now that you're at closer range.
This way we take about 100-200m of bumrushing across open ground out of the equation, incidentally the part where we'd be least able to respond to enemy fire and they'd have the greatest advantage.

>>47259400
Oh and tell Josephina to watch the revs, accelerate nice and steady if we can.

> Charge in.

“Stack, last of our smoke, use it!”

You fire off one last smoke barrage, and it lands smack dab between you and them. Perfect for masking a charge. As you charge through the smoke, you hold on for dear life and pray that the Elite E8s don’t just snipe you through the smoke. Please God, please don’t let this be in vain.

As you burst through, you see that only one of the Elite E8s has actually trained his gun on you. Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck

“Josephina!” yells Stack.

“AAAHHH!” The entire tank screams you all drift right. A second late, you would’ve been pasted by a 76mm round. The Elite E8 continues to track you, stopping entirely. The formation tries to compact together to protect the Flag tank, but to no avail. “Josephina! Get in, get in! Get in, now!” You see a gap. “There! Winona!”

“Firing!” yells Winona.

The gun fires, screeching through the air and slamming into the side of the Jackson. And just after that, the E8 snipes you. The engine again bursts into flames as you all scream. Oliver keeps going, heedless that his engine is on fire and that he shouldn’t be moving. One of the tracks snaps apart, spraying metal parts everywhere as you begin sliding towards the flag tank.

And with an audible “plink”, you tap it.

Out pops a white flag. Two in fact, yours and the Flag tanks.

“Horseshit.” Dix pouts furiously, a blush on her face as you and Griselda are debriefed by her. “You could not have survived all of those Elite crews targeting you at once.”

“Well, only one was firing at me,” you say.

“Hmph.” Dix grumbles a little. “Well, I’ll have to talk to them then. This was really avoidable. And I hate avoidable losses.” She shakes her head, then offers her hand. “Still, good match though.” The three of you shake hands with each other. “All y’all got some guts, I will admit that. Hopefully we keep in touch, and hopefully I see you go farther in the tournament. Maybe a rematch in the postseason is in order.”

“Maybe it is,” you say.

She smirks. “I like the cut of your jib. Y’all got my number, call me up. Hey, maybe we’ll see each other at FleetFest too!” And with that, she turns around and walks away with her defeated crews.

All of you are awaiting transport away from the match locale in one of the many improvised parking lots. Griselda smiles at you. “Well, since we won today. I won’t force you to wear the outfit.” Yeeeeeeeee- “But.” She points to the Poles, who all eagerly await you talking to them. “Just saying.”

“They’re not going to force me to wear that thing,” you say.

“Oh, worse things can happen you know,” she says. You huff. “Still, good work, Elodie. You and Iris really carried us out there. I won’t forget it.” You nod at that, smiling. “By the way, Ellie. One more thing before you go. I might be able to scrounge enough money to give everyone a good allowance for parts and mods. It probably won’t be much, but in a couple days I’ll check in with you all about it, alright? You and Iris are gonna be priority for it.”

"We should step up our training if we want to win the next match we're outnumbered like this in."


I feel like we should be getting all the loaders to practice with Stack after/before studies at least 2-3 days a week, and the Commanders should be doing something Tankery related at very least every second day, stuff like studying any and all tank battles we can find (Suvo and co should be able to help with this) or decorum and discipline training with the Etiquette girls to help with staying focused under fire. Gunners can do theory on one day and hit the range on the next. Drivers should just drive their tanks as much as possible, on obstacle courses, in races, with the gunners firing on the move, and when they can't do that, spend time with Oleg learning how their tonks work and how hard they can push them.

Kind of rambled on but we're outnumbered, outfunded and outexperienced by a lot of schools here. If LGA wants to win or even make Finals we gotta be prepared to really work for it.

Seriously, with how we've been going up in rank rather quickly, we can very well deal with any of our money issues on our own.

I don't know if we're keeping track of scored kills, but for this weekend alone...

E.Zumwalt-5

R.Taney- 2
Suvarov- 1
S.Maczek- 3
and in the holy shit category
I.Blackbourne- 12

> “Oh, thanks, Griselda.”

You blink. “Oh, well, thanks.” You shrug. “I’m not sure I’ll need it though.”

“Trust me, it’ll go a long way,” she says. “Every dollar of it.” She folds her arms, smiling at you. “Anyway, I should let you get on with the Poles.” She pats your arm, winking at you. “Don’t take too long, we leave in thirty minutes.” And with that, she walks away.

And with that, Serafina and her Poles slide in. “Sooooo…?”

You sigh. “Look, I know we won and everything but, can we like…” You shrug. “Like, discuss what you guys want me to do?”

“Well, it is going to be such a stressful and boring plane ride, and we do need some relief…”

Your eye twitches.

Why you.

“L-G-A. L-G-A. Ra-Ra-Ra.” The Polish all happily watch you, and not just the Polish, but the Historians, Naval Studies Rescue as well, The Etiquette Club, your crew, and even Griselda and her team. You are forced to wear the outfit with fox ears and a tail, while you wave about some pom-poms too. You can’t even bring yourself to bring cheer to the cheerleader. This is what they intended all along isn’t it. You’ve entrapped yourself.

Next time, you are NEVER going to say “I’ll do something funny if we win/lose”.

“I believe, I believe, I believe in L-G-A,” you say deadpanly. A few of the girls giggle here and there. All the rest take pictures on their phones. You swear, they are going on report if you find any of those on Facebook. “I believe, I believe, I believe in L-G-A. Do you believe?”

“Yeah!” yells the entire team.

“Great, because I’m never fucking doing this again.” The crowd bursts into laughter at your expense. Ugh, so embarrassing! So many people laughing at you!

Winona however comes in, grinning, wearing the entire ensemble too. “Come on! Let’s do this, Ellie!”
