We're really not sure about where World War 2 stands in this universe, as both Yukari and the History Club goofs keeps on referring to it. I think it still happened, but the actual events turned out drastically different than how it was in the real world.

No, the Giveout only specifies that Senshado was established in the 20s, and that since then no men have been allowed to ride in tanks for fear of using them in wars. Nowhere does it say that war never happened (and given its start in the 20s, that meant that World War One was already history).

Well it is the 74th Tournement and they are using World War II era tanks.
But when it this (supposedly). Since the schools "all" are on carriers, and so far all the carriers have been Japanese "owned"...assuming there are other countries ot there...or maybe not if they have maybe 12 or whatever number of City sized carriers, large jet aircraft and cel phones.

Do take note that Stalingrad itself was a grinding fight of attrition, and NOT a tank battle (as the close-quarter fighting reduced armor mostly useless). A better question is the context of the African campaign between Rommel and Montgomery in this world, since THAT one had tanks figure in a major role.

Again, it's best to remember that the hard cutoff date for Senshado-viable tanks is the day of end of the war in the Pacific, where Japan finally signed its surrender to McArthur.

Stalingrad is not pure city hell. The main maneuvre warfare taking place on the flanks determined the strategic outcome in the end Quote:

Miho went into that match thinking they're doing the match "for the fun of it". Now that they're trapped, and suddenly faced with fact that surrender isn't an option.. I wonder what kind of strategy the Oorai team would try to do in the next episode. Try to use force to breakout of the encirclement, or perhaps try to find another exit out of the building which is not watched by Pravda? Can't wait for next week!

It kind of happens when everything so far in the show has been amazing, and yet they've just glossed over the world-building aspect. It's smart (let the audience fill in the blanks) and frustrating (when things don't quite add up when compared to the events referred to in the real world) at the same time.
Unless Erwin Rommel and Montomery and, heaven forbid, PATTON, were really women in this world. Ditto for Carius, Kolbanov, Abrams, et al.
