Well, the "romantic" appeal of WW2 hardware is that they're such crude and relatively simple machines that relies alot on the human element while still having the basic elements that make modern war machines what they are today. No wonder WW2-era machines are still quite popular and well-loved to this day.
Fire-control computers and auto-stabilized guns? GPS and airconditioning? None of that in the old days whippersnapper, just sweat, blood and guts
That aside, episode 2 (thankfully a certain sub group offered a non-german track for their second release) deviates a bit from the manga in the details (they seem to pick up Mako mid-battle for instance instead of being part of Team A from the start), but the basic gist of the mock battle is still there. And Yukari isn't just a tanksexual it seems: she's a full-blown miltaku. Wearing a military rucksack packed with metal eating utensils and canteens isn't something you see in anime often
