Girls und Panzer: Ride the Tiger (OOC, CLOSED)

[Perestroikavo]

Why do so many of the teams have that one damn quiet guy who knows everything about the tanks?

Mine only knows about Russian tanks. Anything else, and she'll call it a bucket of bolts and a gun, and leave it at that.

[Ulvenes]

Most of my crew is quiet, however none of them know everything about every tank.

They're going to have an encyclopedia that tells about each tank in detail.

Why do so many of the teams have that one damn quiet guy who knows everything about the tanks?

Because to make them stand out more, as they'll need it to be more prominent?

Also, mine doesn't have one.

Quite frankly, I find your childish sense of humor offensive.

I wasn't kidding,I took two tours of Afghanistan and my best friend I made in training was killed by 'Shrapnel' and my Partner (Backguard as I called him) got shot by a Machine Gun nest.So don't call me childish for seeing things that fuck up the human mind

The way it was presented was rather juvenile and did not seem like a real serviceman. Plus, I feel like you woulnd't mention things like that, being a vet myself. I personally hate talking about that hellhole they call Chechnya. But, to each their own, I suppose.

[West Suburbia]

God, I hope it was worth 45 minutes translating this picture of my team's 7TP for future reference when I start describing their tank:

I seem to have presented it the way I want and seeing your best friend getting killed it rips a piece of your soul apart and also,You fought in Russia?I personally think time in the Military was the worst and best time of my life.Because it's were I met my Girlfriend and learned that killing someone sends a rush through your body like none before

Yes. Served during my conscription to the armed forces. Hated every minute of it. Never killed anyone though, belonged to an artillery battery. But every moment of it, you were afraid of that sound that signaled the counter barrage came in, or a bullet whizzed over your head and you all retreated. Anyways, I was just saying that the wording was a bit off.

Serving in a area that wasn't complete hell is different then serving in a nation that is so stricken with war you litterly had a chance to get stabbed in your own home.
I remember one time I was in a Humvee and the Gunner got shot.My captain turned to me and said "?????? get on the gun" (I disclose my name for a reason) when I jumped out of the door it was like hell,I remember seeing a Apache helicopter circle out of control above thats when the soldier next to me yelled "RPG GET THE FUCK DOWN" so my reaction was to run and I ran I ended up hiding In a shack until the firing stopped (We won the battle because of Tank Support)

[Perestroikavo]

Okay. Well, didn't mean to discount your service to America, but I don't really want to talk about war. And better discount other nation's fighting. Anyways, back on track, what tank did you finally end up selecting for your app? I am too lazy to check.

Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf. A

Oh. Cool.

And you did. You used the term 'Captain', rode in a humvee, watched a friendly apache crash, were shot at by RPGs, and won with tank support.

I get the feeling those things apply to most non-Afghan forces involved in Afghanistan...

But hey, US and Russia can both agree it's a shitty place to be.

Why do so many of the teams have that one damn quiet guy who knows everything about the tanks?

Because nobody wanted to have a damn loud girl who knows everything bout tanks, aka Yukari...

Uh, I should clarify that everyone wanted a Yukari-type character, they just probably didn't want a direct expy.

Would it be stupid of me to want to have a KV-VI by the end of this?

Yes, because it requires 16 crew, and since it never existed, nobody can build it for you.

Also, the length to width ratio is so off, that trying to turn would tear the tracks off, and probably the suspension along with it.
