We have two new tanks, Tiger (P) and B1 bis and two hinted teams from the OP, Sodoko x3 and the three girls with an aardvark drawing on the blackboard to fill those. But from the numbering we have a missing No. 7 tank and no hinted team for it, so it still remains a mystery.

(See a lion avatar on the board??) It seems OP is getting more and more interesting to watch. Oh, just how many hints they put in it.

Episode 7
That was a fun episode. Mako's grandmother is pretty entertaining, and the exposition is nicely nestled into the show. As expected, the Anzio battle was just a joke - there's no need to waste good tank ideas on that. The upgrades will make the Pravda fight all that more intriguing. It's too bad the Tiger isn't a Panther instead. A Pershing would have been a good choice as well.
The flashback of Miho's fight against Pravda explains what happened leading up to her transferring to Ooarai. It also tells us what a poor tactical move she made. You never move into tight terrain like that unless you're certain that there are no enemies in the vicinity. If they're there, then they will pick your entire force off while you're unable to respond or even to retreat properly. Miho should have sent a Pz. III ahead of the main group, and only have followed up when the path was clear. On the other hand, her rescue of the submerged Pz. III is commendable - any other action is unconscionable. Quote:

Arguably, the modern Leopard 2 variants are the best tanks in the world right now. They'd have to rebuild the gearbox, transmission and suspension as well. It'd also be against the tournament rules.

As for the rescue, I agree that in that kind of competition, with actual death possible, her rescue was the only thing to do. But in a real battle, wouldn't her mother and sister have been right? By stopping there, she aborted whatever their tactics were and blocked the tanks behind her, making them all sitting ducks.

In a real battle, death is an ever-present threat, so the consequence of having someone die is greatly reduced. Miho would have been hit with either a charge of dereliction of duty or cowardice in the face of the enemy. Miho's action reminds me a lot of the Olympic sailor who abandoned his race when a competitor's boat capsized. By performing the rescue, he lost his chance at a medal doing that too.

If you're in a football game, one player gets injured, do everybody simply ignore him and continue as if nothing happened and look at him like a fricking loser? |

Michael Wittmann gets a lot of credit, and he absolutely deserve them. But let us remember other Panzer aces, such as one Otto Carius (more than 150 tank kills to his credit) survived the war and operates a pharmacy until this day...

Anyways, the only way that Miho get exonerated is if she suggested that a Pz. III be sent to scout, and Maho both refused and was on the scene at the time. Junior commanders are expected to show some initiative and sense of judgment. The failure to scout ahead really indicates the lack of the latter. I also have to commend Pravda here: their ambush demonstrates an excellent assessment of the terrain and very good tactical sense. They deserve to be the champions. Quote:
