(L) Girls und Panzer

[Kamui04]

Damn you Girls und Panzer! I've been turned to the dark side. Already spent $400 preordering the official scale models from Platz and Fine Molds as well as other panzers to complete the lineup >.<

Yeah, about that certain VA. I loled when I found about who she was voicing. Well at least we know Kana Ueda has a flexible voice range.
And to be honest, team student council may need to get additional team member so that Momo would not be overworked - it seems that she was doing the gunner, loader and commander position? That or wear glasses while firing.

...actually screw that, let's give Soldier-kun and Tank-kun some schoolgirl buffet, to replace Yamashiro.

Lol... I think that getting those is against regulation. But, I think it would be immensely satisfying if that happens. Anyway, do you guys think that since tiger tank is being used by Maho. Maybe Team Ankou can get a panther?


I'm also a bit impressed about the tactics in this episode. Besides, taking into account cover, terrain, ammo and type of tank. Now, they're moving into actual information warfare.
- actual spying before the match to know what tanks and formation the enemy will field.
- hacking the opponents communication system so you'll know their position and movements.

And Miho once again showed why she's a really good commander for their team. Even with that little amount of information, she managed to get a hunch of what Team Saunders are doing and do a successful counter.

Though, I do wonder if Kei knows about the radio spying thing? She seems to be chalking it out to woman intuition of her teammate.

And you know their solution to it is actually amazing for me. Even if radios are hacked we have cellphones now.

Since, I recently just marathoned everything, I realized there was actually some foreshadowing of this tactic. One of the reason that they spouted for Saori being their radio operator is because she's extremely fast at texting.

ep.5
well yea trying for tank tournament 5 girl crew having some tank cake & cafe tank area til miho's sister appear with her sidekick saying you will fail.

wonder to ready for next match yukari go like sneak in to other school to get info sure got some then run sgt. oddball cause there on to you so after practice, training, re-design tanks, Measuring Day, etc now battle begins.

10 vs 5 tanks give to chase attack bunny tank til see sherman had spy radio balloon (must be payback for sgt. oddball spying) so new plan cellphone & boom goes a sherman.

Any, it's already episode 5 and they can't they hit a tank it three attempts anyway at such a close range ( except at 5-10 m) range in general? Is it the fact that the shells are not in there full power.. or they're just klutz?

Come to think of it... they couldn't hit an enemy tank at long range right? Like 500-600 m... Sorry I just loved to watch WW2 tank documentaries...

I don't know about versions, but Maho is voiced by none other than Rie Tanaka.

Probably only if that configuration existed in real life. Otherwise, you'd see things like all of the Soviet tanks changing out their 122mm guns for 100mm ones.


7TP? That's awesome! Miho fails for choosing such an unsexy tank though.


The 90mm is only about equal to the 88mm L56 of the Tiger I. The 88mm L71 of the Tiger II is a cut above that. The 100mm should be better than the 90mm, but just a hair shy of the 88mm L71 (the main difference should be accuracy).

The Allied gun with the best penetration that was commonly fielded should be the 17-pounder firing APDS ammo.

Episode 05 is a good episode but darn. Its a cliffhanger and I want to see episode 06 now and it DELAYED!!! darn. next week is sad day

Yukari is really obsessed with tank. She even has collection of shells. Though if you're trying to spy on someone. Act more secretive and don't get into the stage. You're just blowing up your cover her excitement is getting too much on her.

Love on how Maho comment that sidekick of Miho's sister. Don't like rude girls that talk down on others.

Great strategy and battle. They really had a good story on this one. I was really amazed on it.

That said, given how she's voiced and cosplayed as a fair number of characters (especially DAT MITSURU-SEMPAI), here's to hoping she cosplays as Maho.

Or should that be Mahou? (Demon Cannon).

*flees from the Demon Cannon Girl Nanoha jokes*

A tank cafe? I want to go to one! Those tank cakes looked awesome

Good episode though, loved the oddball infiltration scene I wnated to too the super epic conclusion to their battle!

Okay .. I understand?

That was my exact point. You said "Chinese Theatre would be fun!" and I'm not sure if you're following what I'm saying, but Tak said playing the land war in the Chinese Theater would not be fun due to the technological advantage that one side had over the other -- and I agree with him.

I know you guys told me that the girls dug this tank up. The Musashi Senshado Club starts off with that tank in the line-up, but replaces it with a Jadgpanzer early on.

While I initially planned it to be a sale to raise Sensha points, this canon fact gave me the humorous idea that the MSC followed the 'tradition' of decommissioning a tank which is BURYING THE TANK.

Explains why the Oorai girls had to go hunting for abandoned tanks. They all ended up where they were because they were left there by other clubs. XD

Well, since we are talking about World of Tanks...

Spoiler for Guess where this one came from!:

The _insert-name-here_ is basically a German E-75. In its source encyclopedia, it copied the E-75's specs almost word by word.

And more expensive than the tried & tested premium Tamiya kits. Not justifying the purchase

Yet, I know people will be buying this just because it has GuP on it.

After seeing people convert WoT tanks into modern vehicles like the M1 Abrams, I'm not surprised at the power of modders anymore. But to actually make an honest to goodness Edelweiss... the last time I saw an Edelweiss skin, it was just a simple Tiger II recolor

(Link to skin please... even though I don't have the tanks it'll be used for )

Also, something funny I found:

Nah, I am going to be generous and give you a lot more.

But basically thats jut a recolor of the E-75. The Edelweiss and the E-75 were pretty much the same tank anyway.

I've already seen all those skins back when I was still doing skin mods for WoT, but I don't see the Edelweiss-75 you just showed a pic of there

Also, the Edelweiss skin you showed is impressive in that it adds a lot of physical models that aren't there on the normal E-75 model, like the gun mantlet cover, the rounded glacis and the various pouches on the side of the tank.

Edit:

Another image to extract info off from, this time concerning the carriers:



And future episode titles and synopsis:



Too bad the dates no longer match the episodes now.
