LOL, that tune was the British Grenadiers, man...
Here is hoping they will eventually play Prussian Gloria or Hohenfriederberg anytime soon. And I wonder what they have in store for a Russian theme... Maybe it'd be like this one... - Tak Last edited by Tak; 2012-10-29 at 09:54. |

Really, drinking tea in a tank during a semi-live-ammo combat... event... thing? Sounds like an open invitation to spilled tea and broken teacups. |

Modern tanks are much better engineered than they used to be. Breaking down from engine, transmission, track or suspension failures were commonplace in World War II vehicles. And it was even more common for heavy tanks - the early Panther and the Tiger II being prime examples. Drivers would have to compensate for other design flaws like overly-thin tracks, underpowered engines, and the like. Tanks with radio operators like the Pz. IV can split miscellaneous maintenance tasks with the loader. So really, while the loader is a very important role, it is still near the bottom of the totem pole. Quote:

That's probably both a reference to how you can make tea in a modern British tank and a handy bit of characterization.

Wow.... there aren't as many battles in anime as nice as the one we got here, but despite a few flakes, the entire battle was totally as awesome as I thought it would be from the manga
Spoiler for Episode 4:
Spoiler for Technobabble:
Also, we got this played during the episode, which is gonna be Sander's (aka the American team) theme, like how St. Gloriana had British Grenadiers: Next episode, we get Shermans. LOTS OF SHERMANS. Finally, have some cake:

In any case, the first 3 episodes were clearly just a prelude to the gloriousness that was this episode.

I also like how the local residents are absolutely fine with tanks rolling down their streets. It gave me a chuckle.
Of course, anyone who ever lived in Japan would know... the alleyways of residential areas tend to have just enough space to fit a sedan... - Tak |

I just finished the episode.
Indeed its a good battle and unexpected really from when I pick this show up. I didn't expect such a good story, animation and tank battle. I was surprised there. And onto the battle. I'm not familiar with tanks and their models or fire power but why was the leader of the enemy withstand the attack? its a point blank attack from panzer IV but it didn't dent much the armor of the enemy. They manage to take down 4 enemy with only 2 working or cooperating well with them. A total disadvantage since the one with many girls team had run away and the student council is trigger happy. But still they manage to make it a good match. Panzer IV sure moves fast and the one with the volleyball team's tank doesn't have enough fire power too to defeat the enemy. btw I didn't read the spoilers or informations given in the thread before watching the episode so I'm confuse at some point why they withstood the attack from the tank and how strong the attack needed to pierce or defeat the enemy.

You can note that the tactics used in this episode involve using tight spaces to force the enemy into close combat not only to enforce guerilla tactics, but in order to improve the penetration power of their guns, which asides from the StuG's are quite frankly lackluster against heavier armored vehicles.

However, keep in mind that this is Senshado, and not real warfare. Considering how devastating the normal regulation shells they use already are (the damage done to the PzIV was horrid), their most powerful HEAT ammo would have certainly been lethal to the occupants of the Churchill had it penetrated, which would be illegal I imagine.
