>Jagdpanzer IV
Which variant?

>Jagdpanzer IV 0-Serie
with 7.5 cm Pak 39 L/43: a small number of these were built as the preproduction (0-Serie) probably in December 1943.[1]
Jagdpanzer IV (Sd.Kfz.162[1])
with 7.5 cm Pak 39 L/48, official name Sturmgeschütz neuer Art mit 7.5 cm Pak L/48 auf Fahrgestell PzKpfw IV, with 769–784 produced in January 1944 - November 1944.[1]
Panzer IV/70 (V) (Sd.Kfz.162/1[1])
was one of two variants armed with the same Pak 42 L/70 gun. The (V) stands for the designer, Vomag. The most produced version, with 930–940 built in August 1944 - April 1945.[1]
Panzer IV/70 (A) (Sd.Kfz.162/1[1])
the other Pak 42 L/70 armed Jagdpanzer IV. In order to send Pak 42 L/70 armed vehicles to the front as soon as possible, in July 1944 Hitler ordered an interim solution to speed up Nibelungenwerke's transition from Panzer IV production to Panzer IV/70 production. "A" stands for Alkett, a manufacturer of the StuG III, that was ordered to redesign the Jagdpanzer IV superstructure to be mounted onto a standard Panzer IV chassis. The Vomag design used a modified chassis permitting a very low silhouette, mounting the superstructure onto the original Panzer IV chassis required additional vertical steel plates mounted onto the chassis to counter height differences. The resulting vehicle was about 40 cm taller and lacked the sharp edged nose of the Vomag variant.

You grab a pair of hair tries and split your hair into neat little twin tails. They sag behind your shoulders, flowing nicely thanks to the fact that unlike most nerds, you actually take care of your hair. But regardless, time to go.

You open up the door and meet your staff plus Kitten, all of bearing umbrellas and coats for the weather. “Morning girls. Lovely weather, huh?”

“I hope this doesn’t cancel practice,” says Nancy, concernedly.

“We’ll see,” you say. “Not like a little rain ever killed anyone.

“Of course,” says Kitten. “Let’s get to school, yeah?”

With that, you head out into the misty rain and on towards school.

Who needs that, the sheer weight of the shell combined with its velocity will take out nearly anything we face.

And it can bring HE support only the Sturm can for now.

You swish your hair like in one of Kitten’s animes. “No comments on my hair?”

Kitten says, “I think it looks good on you! Makes you look like a little kid though.”

“Yeah,” says Lisa. “Still, looks cute.” She plays with her own hair a little, a bit of fluffy elbow length blonde hair. “I was thinking of doing twin tails myself. See if it worked on me.”

“You should,” you say. “Speaking of which, you help the Poles with that thing?”

Lisa shrugs. “Maaaaybe. Let’s just say that I did, and it went swimmingly!”

Nancy asks, “What are you talking about?”

“Nothing,” you both say.

You arrive at the school, people are floundering about and standing around, muttering under their breaths. People are not too happy that Shore Leave got cancelled. That means you all have to wait for Thanksgiving Break at the very least. You sigh as soon as people catch notice of you. They whisper and murmur things.

You would have infinitely preferred being a total bully over being everyone’s sex fantasy.

>After Kursk, the 152 mm BR-540 solid-core AP round was produced in small numbers and issued to heavy tank destroyer battalions in an effort to introduce a penetrating projectile, but the gun's inherent low velocity made the AP round no more accurate and only moderately more effective than the standard HE round (which could also be used against infantry).

You yawn a bit as you take a walk around campus. Even despite it raining, there’s nothing wrong with a nice little walk around the courtyard and-

“G-g-give it- Return it!” You look over to see Loretta Niven, short as she is, struggle to reclaim a batch of papers from Hall Monitors Pinkerton and O’Bannon. They look at the papers with incredible confusion and disgust.

“Hey,” you say as you walk over. “Give those back to her.” Pinkerton quietly hands the papers to you. “What?” You read through some of them as Niven squeals in embarrassment, blushing intensely.

> “… I’m keeping this.”

“Why does this even exist in paper format, Niven?” you ask. “We have USBs and the internet for a reason.”

Niven groans. “I-I… I was just… I was…”

“Relax,” you say. “Deep breath.”

Niven says, “Well. The uh… Writing Club-“

“I thought you were part of the Reading Club?” asks Pinkerton.

“We don’t really know anymore,” she says quickly. “It was… a writing exercise… and I heard you and Fairless were-“

“Say no more,” you say. “First off, I’m not dating Fairless, secondly this is kind of… wrong. Please don’t ever do this again.” You hand it back to her.

Niven nods, quickly stuffing it into her bag. She says, “Sorry,” then walks away, head held low.

Pinkerton says to you, “Boy. We don’t even have to fuck you with anymore. We actually kind of feel sorry for you.”

You give them the finger, “Fuck off.”

O’Bannon holds her hands up in defense. “Don’t shoot the messenger, yearra. I’m actually kind of surprised you and Fairless ain’t shagging like fecking horny dogs but I suppose that’s a given.”

With that, Pinkerton and O’Bannon walk away. You check the time. Time to get to class. For Math and English, it’s mostly just review stuff, good stuff. You’re going to need to make some time for studying though if you want to keep up on your grades. Chemistry class is now even harder which you can’t even comprehend. You never liked Chemistry anyway.

“… Really?” asks Lisa.

“It’s the creepiest thing,” you say. “I mean, I don’t blame her, honestly. Fairless is pretty hot, but with me? Christ.”

Nancy chuckles. “Oh, writers will write what wills.”

“Hell of a tongue twister, Nancy,” you say as your grab your lunch. Just a nice bit of fried chicken, some fries, and strawberries. You notice again that Lisa has gotten chocolate milk. You hate chocolate milk. You can’t understand why people get it. “Lisa, why do you get chocolate milk?”

Lisa sucks the milk up through a straw, looking at you. She says, “Because it tastes good.”

“But isn’t that unhealthy?”

“Isn’t Tankery unhealthy?”

“Point,” you say. “Still, why? Why not drink regular milk?”

Lisa wags her finger, still sucking the milk up through her straw. She pulls the straw out of the carton, letting it hang between her lips as she says, “JFK once said that we do things not because they are easy, but because they are hard. I like Chocolate milk not because it’s healthy but because it is good.”

Hm. Sound logic.

None of the present choices look all that appealing. Since we need more crews to fill the tanks we already have, then, it might make more sense to focus on recruitment and improving the tanks we do have available. Mods and upgrades of existing units include:

StuG III Ausf F/8: 14,500
T-34/57 Model 1941: 23,500
Panzer IV Ausf. G: 6,000
Sturmpanzer IV Series Two: 5,000
M4A4 Sherman VC Firefly: 12,000
M36B1 Jackson: 16,000
Panther Ausf G.: 22,000

Getting the Panther up and running would be the biggest contribution to our line, but we don't have a crew for it. Improving the T/34 and bringing the Shermans to their respect end-states as a Firefly and Jackson would probably be the biggest improvement to existing units. On the other hand, the Panzer IV Ausf. G and Sturmpanzer IV Series II are pretty cheap.

You snap your fingers. “So, did everyone move up?”

“Yeah,” says Lisa. “I was taking a look at the brackets last night. We, Pravda, Nick Tesla, Ooarai, Konigsberg, Kursk, Anzio, and Saint Gloriana are in the round of eight. We’re going to be facing Pravda.”

“How do they look?” you ask Nancy.

“Pravda’s a team of Russians and Japanese. It’s a joint school effort between the two countries. They’re quite a skilled team, very elite in the Japanese Leagues.”

You nod. “Alright, simple enough. Russian tanks then. Who are we going to face after them?”

“It’s a toss up between Anzio and Konigsberg. I haven’t studied the latter yet,” says Lisa. “But Anzio… if they win, we’ll probably curb stomp them. Their tanks aren’t really all that great.”

“Of course,” you say. “I figure our versatile little set up oughta win us a few battles all the way to the finals. Who might we face there?”

“The favorites are Ooarai and Kursk,” says Nancy. “Could be either one.”

You nod. “Alright then. Well, Miho’s probably got her match with Tesla locked up. It’ll be a real toss up though between her and Kursk. How many tanks are we bringing for the round after Pravda?”

“Twenty,” says Lisa.

Twenty. Jeez. You have trouble keeping track of fifteen, you had trouble keeping track of TEN crews. Twenty is probably going to end up a nightmare. At least the crews are autonomous, sort of.

You sigh. “You know, are there any teams nearby or something? Anything to get us a practice match with?”

Nancy says, “Unfortunately, we’re already on course for Norfolk. I don’t think we’ll find a practice match anytime soon.”

“D’oh,” you say. “Great. Figures that Fredendall would cancel Shore Leave. I’m not usually one to toot my own trombone but maybe Fredendall did this just to spite me. Maybe we can work this into the Elections?”

Lisa says, “Can you actually promise anything for Shore Leave?”

“… Don’t think so.”

Nancy says, “Well, voting day is this Friday. Maybe we’ll win and Fredendall will see the error of her ways!”

“Keep dreaming,” you say. “The latter part, I’d like to win especially, Nancy.”

With that, lunch ends. You say goodbye to your staff and head onto Health Class. Laptops are being busily distributed along with mouses and headphones. The Professor starts giving a lecture on cyber bullying at the front of the class.

You yawn, browsing through websites. You look over to Nicole and what is she playing.

Nicole whispers. “Halo: CE. It’s on the school network. You can join if you want to.”

You look around. Everyone else is playing Halo. You can even spot the TA playing it. The Professor doesn’t even seem to notice this.

“Ah, who’s using the shotgun?” whispers Bradbury. Nicole gives her the finger stealthily and continues to shotgun/pistol some fukken noobs.

Fuck it, you can multitask.

You open up Halo and start kicking ass and taking names. You decide on pulling in another laptop to use as your Wikipedia browser for things like history and English. Time to just pistol snipe the shit out of these kids.

Bradbury whispers, “Who’s using the pistol, that’s the lamest shit.”

“It’s Gertrude,” says one of the girls. “She’s camping the ridge.”

“It’s a legitimate strategy,” you say quietly as the Professor lectures.

Suddenly, you get blasted in the face by a sniper rifle. You look over at Niven, who shyly waves at you, smoking sniper rifle on her interface.

Of course.

The rest of the day goes by relatively well. History, French, and Theatre don’t really have much of anything to learn or do. At least you can say that you’re somewhat good at French. That’ll be helpful for the Japanese, Italians, and Germans you’re likely to face.

However, the day ends. It’s still raining like a motherfucker.

“That’s different,” you say.

“Irregardless,” says Nancy. “I look forward to practice. Apparently we recently bought a Chaffee and a Cromwell tank?”

They were protesting something they genuinely (if misguidedly) believe is bad, were up-front about it, and was not a personal attack/issue for the rifle team. It's not even in the same league.

That's ignoring the fact that there's no indication they organized this online, nor that there was anything secret about it.

“Here, Anna,” you hand the Sewing Club your copy of Achtung, Panzer! “Give it a read, see if it grows on you.”

“Oooh,” says Anna. “Tanks. Thanks, Gertrude.” She smiles, holding the book close. “I’ll give it my best read!”

You nod, then walk over to the Rifle Team and the Polish. “Hey girls. Anything new with you all?”

Samantha says, “Nah. The soccer moms have been pretty quiet. And as for Janek here, she tells me about her exploits on raiding a certain drawer.”

Janek laughs, placing her hand on her chest. “I personally stole Carla Gustav’s sexy underwear as my own in retaliation! I’m wearing them now in fact!” She grabs her skirt. “Want to see-“

“No,” you and Samantha say.

Wendy claps her hands. “Alright, Ramblers. Let’s get rambling.”

All of you sit down in the now somewhat crowded classroom. Wendy lectures at the front. “Alright, so we’ve reviewed armor sloping, armor thickness, armor everything! It’s the most important part of your tank next to the gun and the engine and suspension!”

Maya raises her hand, “How come you get the tank that’s the most well protected? I don’t think I’ve ever seen the King Tiger knocked out before.” Everyone agrees. “It’s kind of unfair, don’t you think?”

Wendy says, “Unfortunately, neither is Tankery sometimes. Sometimes, you just get the short end of the stick when it comes to tanks and lady luck. I wouldn’t be surprised if our luck runs out some day.”

Cathy raises her hand. “So I checked the brackets yesterday. Apparently we’re facing Pravda in the next match.”

“Pravda High School, yeah,” says Wendy. She starts drawing on the whiteboard the various silhouettes of the T-34, the IS tanks, the KVs, and other Russian tanks. “They’re joint Russo-Japanese which means Russian tanks for the most part, Japanese crew. Very good mix. T-34s especially are impervious to 37mm guns. There’s also things like the IS Tank which, despite their reputation, aren’t all that great in tank combat.”

Anna raises her hand. “Why aren’t IS tanks great at tank fighting?”

“It’s not the IS-1’s issue, it’s more or less the IS-2 and the IS-3. Their guns are great at smashing forts and defenses, but it’s a slow rate of fire. In fact, if we analyze their match with Ooarai in the Nationals. The thing that saved that I-Go from a complete knock out was the fact that the HE shell didn’t manage to knock it out. Splashed in front of it, knocked a track off, didn’t kill the engine or any of the crew.” She starts with, “Let’s work on how to fight Russian tanks in general though.

“Now, the same principal may apply if we’re fighting Kursk in the finals. Ambushes are easy to lay, but they’re harder to pull off. For Kursk, they have the excuse of having the patience of a saint in order to pull off ambushes planned years in advances but as Pravda, their ambushes are more bait and trap.”

Nancy raises her hand. “So, is Pravda a well-coordinated team?”

“Very,” says Wendy. “However, luckily for us, most of their experienced seniors graduated last year, which means they’re stuck with mostly freshmen and some slightly experienced crews from the Nationals. That means we still have a good chance in a straight fight against them.”

Janek says, “What can we expect from their composition?”

“Medium tanks, a support from heavier tanks, standard stuff. Hasn’t failed them too many times, nor does it really ever fail at all. T-34s in particular are especially versatile at scouting, fighting, holding, etcetera. For things like the KV-2, that’s a little more… eh. Unless there’s a chokepoint, the KV-2 probably won’t be anything to worry about.”

Wendy continues the lecture on Pravda’s force. It seems relatively in depth, and goes into detail about the inner workings of the T-34, the KV series, the IS series, and beyond.

All of you slog through the mud and the rain on a jog around the field. Wendy even made you do stretches outside too. At least you’re wearing rain ponchos over your gym clothes but this is a little much.

Wendy yells, “No pain, no gain! Keep moving!”

Tex Avery of the Animation Team pulls her hair back then quickly vomits as she runs. The other girls are square out of breath as Wendy keeps pushing them on and on.

“Come on, go go go!” yells Wendy. Remains right at the front of the column of girls, keeping up with them every step of the way.

Kitten says, “This is murder!”

“I don’t care!” Wendy pauses, running in place as everyone runs by. “We’ll be fast and efficient if it takes all summer! Let’s go!”

You have to admit, this is getting tiresome. The Pacer was less biting than this.

I'm thinking Michelle since the crews have IC reasons for it (missing the initial shot on that I-Go).
Besides, she also needs to get her groove back, maybe teach the gunners how to shoot while under fire.

>>31736778
I agree, maybe Octavia since she was talked about a lot before.

> Take a Break

Everyone seems to be taking the rain a bit hard. They all grumble and moan as they sit around their tanks. Not even the loaders seem to be in the mood for one of their usual competitions.

> - 20 MORALE ACROSS ALL CREWS

You yawn a little, sitting on top of Cupid. All the girls are busy wiping mud and dirt off their exposed skin. You yourself have to contend with some very badly soaked knee highs. There’s a very sloppy noise as you pull the black knee high’s off your legs, letting your toes wiggle free, damp.

Kitten says, “This sucks.”

You say, “I know it does, pray it doesn’t happen too much though. Could be worse, it could be snowing.”

Nancy, who sits in the commander’s hatch, says, “Still. I’m exhausted!”

Ramirez and Lisa take naps on the engine block, leaning against the turret. Lisa has her head resting against Ramirez’s shoulder. 2cute.

“Hey, Weiss.” You motion the Magicians over and gesture to the Fresh and shiny M4A4. “Here’s your new tank. Like it?”

The Magicians all gasp in awe of it. “Wow!” says Weisss. “It’s beautiful!” She snaps her finger. “I bet we can make loads of dosh using this in a stage show!”

You nod. “Of course. Try not to break it.”

With that, you head back into the field and start up gunnery practice. Due to the rain, the sights are a bit muddled. Not helped by the fact that the Sturmpanzer IV actually threw a track trying to traverse the muddy terrain. The engineers fixed the issue quickly though and soon, you’re practicing the standard 500 meter range target.

“Fire when ready, Nancy!” you say.

The 76mm fires, the shoot zooming across the rain and impacting the target. “Nice work,” you say.

Nancy claps. “Yay! I hit it!”

“Ramirez, HVAP, let’s see how we do it.” Ramirez pulls up an HVAP from the ready rack and slams it into the breech. “Go for the closer one, Nancy.”

The guns continue on firing. The Magicians are actually having some trouble with overshooting, but it seems like everyone else is getting into the groove of things.

> Maneuvering Practice

The Sturmpanzer IV, again, sinks right into the mud. It seems like no matter what, the weight is probably going to be a slight issue with it.

Your Sherman and the Churchill are busy dragging it along out of the mud. You stand at the side along with Dory and Kitten.

Dory says, “Slade keeps overcooking the damn thing when I tell her not to. It’s getting annoying with her.”

Mud slings out of the tracks the Sturmpanzer IV wills itself out of the mud. “Alright!” yells Jane as she sticks her head out of the commander’s hatch. “We’re out, let’s get moving!”

The rest of Maneuvering practice is characterized by the slowness of your tanks, them getting bogged into the mud. It’s not as bad with your lighter tanks or even your Sherman, but it’s clear that there’s some trouble. Could always be worse though, you probably wouldn’t have invested so heavily in grousers for instance.

Finally, practice is over. “Good work everyone,” says Wendy.

All your crews stand, covered in mud, grease, and grime. They groan heavily as they disperse.

> Hit the showers

You sigh in bliss as Kitten scrubs you down in the showers. You needed a hot bout of water to refresh you and this is doing the job just right. Kitten washes at your hips as you say, “So, Kitten, feel stronger? More virile?”

Kitten says, “No. I feel terrible.”

“Well, so do I, but all in the name of becoming better tanks!” you say. Your arch your back, rubbing some grease off of your arm.

“Yeah, yeah,” says Kitten. “Speaking of which, I heard the rumors-“

“Me and Bernadette are not dating, Kitten,” you say. “I wouldn’t know how to date if it went up and smacked me in the head anyway.”

“Alright, that’s good,” says Kitten. You nod at that.

…

You say, “Why is that good?”

Kitten coughs. “Just saying, it’d… be pretty awkward. I shouldn’t have said that.”

“Relax,” you say, chuckling. “I’m teasing you! What I’d like to see is you and Bernadette. Now that’d be the cutest thing since strawberries on cupcakes.”

“What is it with you and these analogies, you’re not even that southern anyway,” says Kitten.

“Virginia is part of the south, Kitten, remember it,” you say.

With that out of the way, your shower is done. You rest up on the sofa next to Kitten, with all of your crews goofing off. The Polish in particular are sticking to a game of ping pong with the magicians.

Janek says, “Did you find the Compendium?”

“Nah,” you say.

“Well, it’s somewhere on campus,” says Gussie. “It oughta be somewhere.

Jane who’s over on a couch watching a history documentary says, “Janek, are you getting help in getting that compendium?”

The S35 isn't a scout, it's a shit early war tank that couldn't fill any other role. The T-34 could in fact fill that role better.

Faster, better suspension, comparable but admittedly larger profile, can actually threaten armour.

You and your crew decided to eat a nice curry place just up the road from the Tankery HQ. Much of it is certainly spicy as fuck, but nothing you can’t handle.

“Ow, ow, ow!” Lisa fans her tongue. “Fucking fuck, this is hot as hell!”

Kitten says, “There aren’t even any spices on it.”

“It’s still hot as fuck!” says Lisa. “Ow!”

“Right, guys,” you hand Lisa some soda. “Here’s the deal. We have to find that compendium on the Alien Ninja Pirates.”

“Was that what they were called?” says Kitten.

“I don’t know,” you say. “Point is, it’s somewhere on campus. And we have to figure out where.”

You speculate and speculate on where it could be on campus as you walk there.

Bottom of it.

Footing.

Balance of power.

You scratch your chin as all of you arrive at the campus courtyard. WHAT COULD IT MEAN? You look around, there’s the statue of the Marquis de La Fayette. There’s the many buildings around it, and there’s all kinds of distracting elements. That book could be anywhere! Fucking hell!

Nancy says, “Maybe it’s at the base of the statue of the Marquis de La Fayette.”

It'll at least eliminate one place, if it's not there.
And if it is, then that's one compendium down.

>>31738968
GS said we can but keep bringing it up will only go against you, like that one anon who kept bringing up the IS2

For me, I honestly want to keep the Somua but if we have to switch them to another tank so be it.

But it's not necessary now. Also I'm more concerned for the Junior council which is also a 3-man team.

However, if we go for a Valentine or Jadpanzer that may solve the issue in itself.

The Valentine tank can sport a 6-pounder gun like the Churchill with only a three man crew and if want to go the extra mile, upgrade it to a Archer tank which sports a 17 pounder gun and is a 4 man crewed tank.

Perfect for any three man team.

i have not felt it since... SWQ, and I love it.

>>31739075
>“… ridiculous enough, let’s check it.”
It's too ridiculous to NOT work.

> “… ridiculous enough, let’s check it.”

You all search around the base of the statue, muttering some apologies to the good Marquis. All around is nothing but grass, dirt, granite, marble, etc.

Lisa says, “This is hopeless. Unless they fucking hid the thing UNDER the statue, it’s not here.”

“Yeah,” says Nancy. “I’ll admit, that was a bit of a stretch.”

You say, “Well, it’s ridiculous enough to work. Keep looking.”

Kitten stands at the top of the base, looking around the Marquis’ legs. “I don’t see anything up here.” She looks down at you. “Maybe it really isn’t here.”

“Of course,” you say. You look over at the commemorative plate at the face of the base. A screw is missing. “Ramirez, give me a quarter will you?” Ramirez hands you a quarter out of her pocket, and you quickly unscrew the plate off.

Inside the base of the statue is indeed a compendium.

Nancy smiles. “Wow! I didn’t think that would work!”

You grab it, dusting it off. It’s huge, three hundred pages of sheer lore. Charlotte would have a field day with this.

“Hey, Janek we-“

Janek and her girls are immediately next to you and FUCK HOW DID THEY DO THAT. “We’re here! Did you find it?”

You nod. “Yeah, were you stalking us?”

“Maybe,” says Janek. She takes the compendium and starts flipping through it. “Whoa. Huge! I ain’t reading this! No one can!”

You say, “Charlotte can. She probably deals with stuff like that.”

“You think so?” says Janek. “Cool beans. We’ll give her a call!” She quickly pulls out her cellphone. “Hey, Charlotte. It’s Janek… Yeah. Listen, we need to read this shit for us and put it in a tl;dr, can you do that? Great! We’ll meet you at your place then.”

Gussie says, “Thanks for this, Gertrude. We probably would have never found it on our own.”

You shrug. “Eh, it’s nothing. Thank Nancy having the bright idea.” Nancy smiles, blushing a little.

“Welp, we’re off!” says Janek. “Unless you all want to join us?”

Sure. This is one convoluted scenario, and Gertrude is bound to be curious about this thing.
As well as this (>>31739623). The Stupa can wait for a while.


I initially thought it would involve Alien Zombies crashing in a hidden Ninja Village in Japan with the aliens assimilating the ancient ninja arts to spread the zombie outbreak from the shadows.

The only hope for humanity is to use the school ships as bases (basically, become pirates) wherein they'll use drones to saturate infected areas with the cure or napalm, if the area is too infected (basically, robots making things go boom).

>>31739121
Not the other guy, but the Valentine wasn't a good tank and neither was the Archer.

The Valentine was slow and poorly armoured. Though the XI had a 210hp engine over the original 135, I can't find any indication that it was any more mobile then the Archer formations it was later deployed with.

Speaking of, the Archer is basically a worse StuG, excelling in immobile ambushes and sporting a worse traverse. It couldn't handle off road driving worth a damn.

For a three man crew, I think it is one of the better tanks. Especially the Mark XII which is equipped with a 17 pounder gun and has 210hp engine. and poorly armored?

I thought it was good?

I think it should be considered considering a tank of it's crew size at least for the Junior Council

“So, Janek, are you sure can’t make anything of it?”

Janek continues flipping through it. “It’s so wordy and processed, it’s like trying to decipher the meaning of life from a glass of water!”

“How does that make sense,” says George.

“It doesn’t, that’s the point,” says Janek. “But anyway, I’m sure Charlotte can make head or ears of it.”

On the way back to the Sophomore dorms, you decide to give Mr. Mishka a call.

“Alright, I’ll get to work on it. Or rather, Huxley and Benita will get to work on it.”

“Thanks, Mr. Mishka.”

With that, you hang up. You arrive back at the Sophomore dorms in good time then knock on Charlotte’s door. “Hey, Charlotte. Can we come in?”

Charlotte opens up the door, clad in an oversized Jersey. “What’s up?” she asks. Janek shoves the compendium in her hands. “Whoa, the fuck is this? I haven’t seen anything this big since the DnD Grapple rules.”

Janek says, “That is Compendium that we need you to decipher for us, can you do it?”

“Uh… why?” asks Charlotte.

“Because, let’s just do it!” says Gussie. You all walk into Charlotte’s dorm room.

“Yoooo!” Kitten runs over to Charlotte’s shelf. “You’ve got Homura, and Madoka and- I didn’t know you were a fan of Madoka Magica, Charlotte!” There are little figures of frilly dressed girls in front of a huge row of gas masked clad soldiers, probably from Charlotte’s 40k stuff.

Charlotte says, “I try not to advertise it.”

>For a three man crew, I think it is one of the better tanks.
>should be considered considering a tank of it's crew size
No 3 man crewed tank could compare to late war vehicles, that's why they were phased out. There's no reason to buy one when our crews can operate any tank undermanned by 1 without a problem.

>Especially the Mark XII which is equipped with a 17 pounder gun
The Valentine XI, and it was armed with an OQF 75mm. It's considerably worse then the 17PDR for fighting armor.

>has 210hp engine
I know, but I can't find anything saying it was much faster then the Valentine I. I'm sure it was, but the XI was deployed as a command vehicle with Archers. Why would it be significantly faster then those?

>and poorly armored?
Ya. Originally it was thickest at 60mm which is pretty whimpy. As far as I can tell it was never uparmored.

The Valentine still served with distinction by the end of the war though as a three man crew tank.

I didn't say the XI, I said the XII which were lead tanks for Archer units which had 17 pounder guns.

I heard they up the armor to 65mm. If your worried about armor we can always add applique.

I think overall it's worth it.

You decide to rest and relax on Charlotte’s bed, reading up and catching up on some of your studies. You’ve been letting yourself down a little, but that’s nothing compared to the disgrace of failing of a quiz or a test.

Wow, are you really thinking that? You could’ve cared less last year. Jesus, who the fuck are you.

Regardless, you spend some time studying while Charlotte helps put things in an understandable format for the Poles. Nothing too special.

“… and that’s pretty much the gist of it,” she says as she writes things down for them on a notebook.

“Cool,” says George. “Thanks for that, Charlotte.”

“Oh, don’t thank me,” she says. “This is actually a pretty wellbuilt lore. I’m actually pretty interested in it myself.”

“Well, Model UN’s always open!” says Janek.

“Pffft.” Charlotte leans back against her desk, shaking the 40k and anime figurines on it. “As if I do that nerd shit. No thanks.”

Janek and friends shrug at that. “Suit yourself.” They pack their things. “Anyway, we’ll be heading off, thanks, Gertrude.”

You nod. “Sure.”

With that, the Polish leave.

Charlotte looks over at you. “So… are you staying here or something? I don’t mind but I have a thing against freeloaders.”

You hold up your model case of the Sherman. “Help me assemble this shit.”

Charlotte says, “Really?”

You, Kitten, Nancy, Lisa, and Ramirez pout at her FULL BLAST.

…

“Oh fine,” says Charlotte. “Get me the super glue.”

With that, you break open the box and start separating the parts from the sprues. Time to get assembling!

…

…

You hold up the turret. “Alright, I got the gun in!”

Charlotte, who’s busy getting the tracks together while Nancy and Lisa work on the hull, says, “The gun’s in upside down.”

“Huh?” you say.

Nancy nods. “Yeah, it’s upside down.”

“Seriously?” you say. “Damn it. Good thing I didn’t glue this in.”

Kitten says, “We’re not supposed to glue anything in?”

Charlotte says, “Maybe I should assemble this stuff myself.”

>>31740295
There's no point, though. Any crew can handle a tank that needs one more crewman, and any 3 man tank is worse then the T-34. The crew problem is lessened or handled completely with Octavia.

>I didn't say the XI, I said the XII
You're mistaken, we're talking about the same tank. I've taken my time to check. There never was or even planned to be a Valentine XII.

There also never was a Valentine with a 17PDR; the Archer was a project to mount one on that hull. Why do you think they bothered at all if they could fit it in a turret?

All of this is on Wikipedia, even. I invite you to read it closely.

>I heard they up the armor to 65mm.
That's really hardly a difference. Just compare it to the armor on the tanks we already own. Anything scarier then a 37mm can penetrate that.

Also, sorry it took me so long to respond. Technical troubles ate my post.
