“Yeah, I got one for you, sir.” He stands at the end of the 'lane' on the balls of his feet, holding the bird in front of his face. Dropping to his heels and taking two powerful strides across the room, he pitches the bird at an alarming rate at the floor, where it bounces, spins, then tumbles into the bottles. Most of them are crushed and spin away from the turkey, though one gets airborne and slams into the window, shattering and leaving the remnants to trickle down the glass.

“WOOOOOOOO! MOTHERFUCKIN' ARMOR! STRAIGHT OUTTA GODDAMN MINNEAPOLIS!” He shouts in victory. He turns, grinning, and then locks eyes with you.

You pinch the bridge of your nose. It was far, far too early for this garbage.

“You know what? I just....I just lack words. Clean up after yourselves. In fact, clean and sober up right now anyway. We gotta go check out our new wheels.” You say, sighing at the end. You turn back into your room, heading directly into your room's latrine before anyone can respond.

After taking a hot shower for once, and hacking back the foliage growing outside of your face, you set into a freshly starched set of BDUs. The lack of decent meals, you notice, has taken it's toll. Where the uniform used to be well filled across the arms, shoulders, and chest, it now hung freely. If you ever manage to get a stable billet, you think to yourself, you'll have to get a decent set of weights there too. Can't run a ball if Joe Schmoe can tackle you off the snap!

Back in the main room, which has been cleaned immaculately, Lieutenant Anderson sits with a fresh pot of coffee. His uniform, not quite anything you've ever seen before, is also cleanly pressed. Even his beret, tucked cleanly into his epaulette, seems to be in perfect condition.

You shrug.

“I don't see Nicky or Mega around. Looks like we've got a minute.”

Anderson nods, pouring the dark liquid into a clean white mug. He slides it to you across the breakfast bar, before pouring himself a cup. “Cream, sugar sir?”

“Twos.” Growing up, though he had been a tough man, your father always spoiled your brothers and you on camping trips with 'sweet coffee', which is more sugar with a little bit of coffee added. You never really outgrew it, though you're now down to two sugarcubes instead of the whole bag.

“They're downstairs, in the lobby, by the way. Waiting for the ride out, and that gunner of yours is, and I quote, 'just chasin' some city tail, no harm in that is there LT?'” He gets Nicky's accent spot on.

“Heh. Not surprised.”

“Hey, sir? Did you hear anything about Sargeant Rockfield?” he asks, pushing the pot back into the coffee maker.

You shake your head. “Nah, got the run around from the hospital. Got punched into the neurology shop, they said she's in the OR and to try to get into contact with them today. Gonna do that as soon as I get a minute, after we check out our new horses.”

He scoffs. “You mean your new horses.”

“Shit LT, I reckon ya'll would've been excited to hear that we're getting new 'vettes.”

“once again, you mean your new 'vettes. I don't think we're getting any new gear today, and if we are, we're gonna need some time to train on it. Shall we?” He says, slamming the last of his joe down.

Downstairs, most of the company is formed up in the lobby, trying hard to stay out of trouble. A mess of rowdy enlisted folk and a few witches with zero officer supervision does not generally mean good things for an establishment or it's bar, though this early in the day you figure that it's safe. Being that it's locked up, you're absolutely right.

Your transport arrives, Nicky having called the proving grounds for them from the front desk phone. You can't help but think that it's irresponsible for the army to put you up so far from the post with no way back to the post, but oh well. Someone had said that this counts as your leave too, right?

The ride on the big deuce and a half, cut short by a police escort just outside of Baltimore’s city limits, is full of the company ribbing one another and making jokes. Nobody's really sure about the new equipment, nor are they of your next posting...but that's not until you've trained on this new vehicle. You hope.

Once past the gates and the MP's, you dismount in a grassy field with rolling dirt hills in the distance. Nearer to you, however, a GP medium tent is set up just outside of four canvas-covered vehicles. You don't know which to prod at first, knowing that peeking at Christmas presents is generally a no-no.

You get the troops in a loose formation, leaving sergeants Warner and Meany in charge. “Alright, now you boys and girls behave. We got some people to talk to, I think.”

You tap Anderson on the shoulder and point to the tent flap. Stepping inside, you're met with a few familiar faces from France, Doctor Light being one of them.

“Ah! Captain! Lieutenant! I'm glad to see you. I must say, you missed out an exquisite dinner the other night.” He says with a smile.

“Aw, hell doc. We had a pretty good one ourselves, sir.” Anderson replies with a grin. You're pretty sure the look you give him could kill a weaker man.

Doctor Light chortles, shaking the both of your hands. “The captain seems to disagree!”

You wave it away. “Ah, it was all good, doc. So, I guess today is the day we see why we were pulled out of combat?” You cut straight to business.

“Ah! Yes! The Achilles and the Myrmidon! Working names, of course. I doubt whoever it is that cooks up the actual names for these things wouldn't allow them to be named after ancient Greek warriors. There are, however, a few things you must know beforehand, gentlemen. First is that these are both prototype vehicles and we can't guarantee that you'll have them forever. Sooner or later, the ride will have to end.” You both nod your acknowledgment. “The second, and I'm sure that you both are well used to hearing this by this point, is that everything you are about to see is highly classified. So much so that this area has a security cordon stopping just about everyone but us and General Lindsay from being here. Needless to say, to quote the general himself, you are to “keep your lip zipped!”'

>>24344964

He's right, both you and Anderson are well used to hearing that by this point in the war. Almost every operation you had in Germany was the same way, as was working under General Garrison.

The good doctor turns, and presents a thermos to you both. “More of Emily's cocoa. If for no other reason than to allow me to talk.” He says, smiling. You pour yourself a Styrofoam cup full, before handing the container to Anderson, who drinks it straight out of the chromed thermos.

From behind him, a lab technician hands Light a clipboard. “Bah!” he exclaims, throwing his hands into the air. “Nothing can ever get done correctly! Tell them that this has to be installed and calibrated as soon as possible!” He shouts to the busily retreating tech before signing at the bottom.

“Anyhow, I suppose you have many questions, but you get a choice. I may either present you with the classified data on the Achillies gun, or you may see it for yourself. I believe the test pilots have it all warmed up for you.”

You set your cup down.

“I must be outside when you do this. I must see my gunner's face.”

Doctor Light gets a chuckle and waves you outside. There, a few techs and even fewer tankers are mulling about, just out of reach of your company. You can easily see the divide. Though, your company's witches aren't in jumpsuits with headsets on. The other two, wearing what you assume to be the emblem of the Achilles project on their shoulders, quietly talk amongst their crew. You cock an eyebrow.

“Doc, I'm not seeing any strikers here.” You say, motioning to the other two witches.

“And you won't! The more we see combat evolve, the more we realize that strikers are becoming obsolete. Slowly, sure. And in specific applications, they still have very relevant uses. Raids and that sort of thing. However, on the front line, they are beginning to put the individual witch at more risk than needed. So I present this, the XM2A1 Achilles!”

He cuts his eyes to a few of the techs, who rip the canvas covers off of two of the vehicles.

“The pinnacle of armored warfare to this point. No other vehicle has had the potential to achieve what this vehicle can.”

You level with yourself. It's sort of ugly. Either that, or you're still in love with the Abrams' aesthetic design.

The hull looks surprisingly like an Abrams does, boxy in the ass and stepping down into a razor edge in the front. The driver's hatch, however, has been radically redesigned, instead of being just a single manhole cover sized hatch, it's now a horizontal door shape crossing under the gun. The turret, however, is where the real difference occurs.

If you had to make the guess, you would think that someone stole the Hellhounds' turret and stuffed it onto the Abrams body. But that wouldn't be a very good guess at all. The similarities are in shape, boxy in the ass and pointed up front, however the guns and hatches are wholly different. Tiny, nickel sized holes adorn the front of the turret around the creases of the proto-plating boxes, which cover the front and rear. Even the 'crap-rack', where you normally store cases of MRE's and the jerry cans full of ass water is covered in them, though it's no longer a rack and now more of a bin. Around the barrel, which is surprisingly short, being only eight or so feet long, sits a protective canvas shroud, lashed down with loose ratchet straps.

That isn't true, eat least among the air as while Jets can play down the damage, they still can't match a witch's agility. Not sure about how modern tank strikers compare to tanks.

I doubt the witch community agrees with such a mindset as the end result would likely be a marginization of witches for the most part, objectifying them even more.

You look closely at the minute holes in the armor plating.

“Uh, doc? The fuck is this garbage?”

“Ah! Yes, I can see where the confusion would spawn from. Those, captain, are cameras. You see, as combat evolves, even armored warfare, it becomes less about your ability to fight a prolonged battle and more about the ability to hit the enemy first, hit him harder than he can hit you, and hit him when he isn't looking. And the best part about those is that we haven't taken any of your protective measure. The turret is still bunker, as it was with the Abrams. Plus, from far enough away, nobody can even tell that they're there.

“The cameras are all networked together, and the imaging that they give is projected onto the inside of your turret. As commander, you now have full three-hundred-sixty degree view of the battlefield, wholly unimpeded. All relevant combat data, such as range to target, gun targeting data, et cetera, is sent to your HMD in the helmet. Oh, captain. You have so much more reading to do.” He says with a grin.

You step around the vehicle, taking in the nuances of it's design.

“So you're friggin' telling me that these are cameras, and I'm not gonna be sitting in front of a screen anymore?” You ask, taking a closer look.

“Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying! Captain, your helmet is now your screen. Your gunner's reticule is sent to his helmet. Your driver's information, to his. Your loader's current load and rounds remaining, to his. Even your defensive systems crewman's information is sent to her helmet! This leaves us so much more room for armor, the witch integration suite, and the networked combat system!”

COFFIN FOR TANK

>>24346086
>we haven't been shot by Bloc witches
Remember the tank group that shat all over ours. Remember, they were manned by witches, maybe that's the new strategy for the reds, get rid of strikers, and just put witches in regular tanks.

>>24346152
>[] “Alright, you lost me.”
Wait, are you saying we're sticking witches in these to generate a shield?

The girls ain't gonna like this

>>24346152

>>24346152

>[] “...well, let's see the fucker shoot.”
>[] SQEE INTERNALLY

>>24346100
But it is true that having a bigger focus array lets the Witch project a more powerful shield, which makes a Witch Tank far more likely to survive both conventional tanks and tank Witches.

Actually, I think the logical extension is that the Witch Tank is an intermediary stage, until a powerplant and control computers can be miniaturized to the point that a single Witch is, once again, the premier fighter on the battlefield. Ensconced within a 3-meter tall suit of powered armor, with a focusing crystal array to allow it to project shields powerful enough to stop 120mm tank cannons and yet still as agile as a tank Striker.

I take such words with a grain of salt as I get the feeling that striker development was intentionally hindered for this.

[x] “...well, let's see the fucker shoot.”

>>24346199
That was witch tanks, not normal tank witches.

>>24346216
Assuming the male dominated military would let them reclaim that spot.

Next time just go on the ace combat wikia and look up the supers or any AC3 planes.

>>24346152

>>24346199
But the Witches themselves didn't shoot us, all they did was put up shields.

We're gonna get a witch in each of these tanks, sweet jaysus lawd have mercy, so who do you guys think is going to be bunking in our armor?

So since there is a Witch Integration Unit that means we get to have a witch in the tank. Does that mean Sushi is going to sit somewhere in there?

Sushi's specialty is recon, though. It'd be a waste of her abilities to put her in a tank. She's better off with the speed and mobility of a Striker.

>>24346329
Whittmann has giant knockers like woah

>>24346257

My guess in order of probability, most likely to least likely:

1. Sushi
2. Siegel (more character development?)
3. Rosalez (character development, period)

Yep.

>>24346257
You mean which witch will be asked to give up her trade so men can blow things up better?

I mean most of these witches have been training in their specialities since their pre-teens and if this becomes big, they'll be asked to put that aside just to help men score more medals/etc.

And I have a suspicion that such projects are intentionally getting put ahead of striker research, after all this stuff is the 89 version of the Warlock, something made to replace witches by people who didn't like them.

>>24346265
They may be the exception to the rule.

>>24346275
I think it might have been mentioned in SW or SWQ I think.

With some exceptions, but even Erika and her sister have cute handfuls, that's more than certain french and US witches have.

And let's see about other witches: Minna's nicely sized, so is Trude, Cupcake's also nicely sized. And then there's Heidi who's able to share the same sentence with Shirley.

SWQ lacks the charm of SW, which was in the adorable and lovable characters. SWQ characters were, well, less quirky with their appealing qualities less emphasized or replaced.

>>24346714
>comparing a show better known for yurishipping and fanservice with a quest with characterization and character development.

That has to be some mightly good weed you're smoking there.

>>24346784
Male magic in SWQ is basically "doing a normal task really really well" like flying a plane or making Watches. Completely different than female magic (otherworldly feats)

Comrades, please. No need for mudflinging. That is what /a/ is for.

>>24346784
Male magic in SWQ means something different. Subtle stuff. They aren't male witches who can summon a familiar or power striker units. Compared to a witch, they have very little actual magical power.

>>24346830
>implying your word choice is not loaded as fuck
I mean, I could easily say something like: SWQ is bad because it is a piece of shitty wish fulfillment, where as SW itself was a tribute to two things the author loves; WWII and cute girls. But that wouldn't be a fair assessment.

>>24346610
>Quest cut short right before we get to the gun

WHHHHHHHHYYYY

Part of me think you did this on purpose.

>>24346890
the SWQ community knows that between the WWII stuff and the girls/yuri/fanservie, the anime favors the latter far more than the former while cramming in a bunch of magical girl tropes

>>24346939
Doubt it, this is human stupidity we're talking about here, it always has the worse timing.

>>24346939
I imagine a more likely intended cliffhanger would be revealing that we're getting a witch in the tank and that we're getting stuck with Whittman.

>>24346956
Dude, you are not helping. Please stop before you make the situation even worse.

>>24346956
>the SWQ community knows
It knows shit. SW is huge for WWII buffs too. Were...were you even there when the show was airing? It was split pretty evenly between people nerding out over WWII call outs and the cute girls. Usually both.

>>24347044
SW is huge for pederasts.

>>24347064
That's not even the right word for the baseless insult you're trying to make, jackass.

>>24347044
No, some dipshit who hates the anime thinks that. Don't lump us all in with him.

>>24347064
1: No, not really. I found the pantyshots creepy and annoying, but all the references kept me around.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzZNWqUJuA4
2: Pederasts like little BOYS.
3: Technically it would be ephebophilia, since the girls are all pubescent or older. Still creepy, but not the kind of creepy you're thinking of.

>>24347108
I won't pass judgment on the whole community, then. It's just that kind of pompous attitude is why I prefer to avoid speaking about anything with cute girls here and today I decided to act on my impulses.

>>24347186
It's not being a pompous attitude. You went about comparing a Gonzo butchery to SWQ. I would not have this reaction if you referred to the other materials of SW as opposed to the anime.

Woo, I actually caught a thread. Kinda late, but meh.

My question is, shouldn't we question what happen if our APU/SPU or whatever it's called that powers the electronics suite goes out, like in the last battle? No eyes= dead tank. And don't say 'stick head out tank', we remember what happened the last time a tank commander did that.

Actually, that's a good point.
The Soviets have some kind of EMP tank round; is our tank hardened against that kind of direct EMP attack?

>>24366095
Oh wait. You meant our power suite. Okay, yeah, I'm a moron. Still vote we call the Witch powering our shields the WoB though. Certainly flows better than "Defensive Systems Crewman".
