Sorry to interrupt the discussion.
For the interest of skinning in World of Tanks, Allow me to make some requests. Can anyone point me to any clear, high quality screenshots of the emblems used, particularly the sensha-do emblem and St. Glorianna emblems? By the way I have managed to create a skin for the StuG III (Hippo Team)- despite the the game version being the Ausf.G and the anime using the Ausf.F version. And a friend is doing the M3.

I doubt it bothers her, though. She seems really really really happy just being in the presence of the tanks at all. |

Also, speaking of Yukari: Miho has some odd taste in teddy bears that's for sure

People really take the role of the loader lightly.....
The loader's tasks often included other duties besides simply choosing the ammo and loading it into the gun. Those duties include maintaining the ammunition, guns and related mechanisms. In addition, aside from the commander, the loader usually was the one person who was in the position to observe around the tank, take watch, and cover for others if necessary. Taking into consideration that the loader would also be the most likely person to be getting out of the tank to do repairs, the commanders would give strong consideration to assigning their second most experienced crewman as the loader. Removing the loader would also mean the crew would be a person down, so that taking watch would be shared by less people and the entire crew would get less rest. Basically, the loader is probably the most versatile position aside from the commander, and having Yukari take the role fits the personality, skill, and role of the resident tank otaku. I expect great things if the story is done realistically. Summary: The loader is a very important position, and the most experienced and versatile crew member aside from the commander should take the role. |

It is telling that even in episode 1 and 3, Yukari is already seen taking on the role of being 2nd-in-command, being one of the few people who could talk to Miho on an equal standing about tank tactics due to her understanding of the essentials.
Yukari isn't "just the loader".

Also, a good loader is very important for maintaining your rate of fire; mechanical autoloaders give you a rate of fire of about 1 round every 4-5 seconds, or about 12 RPM; the average trained human loader will give you one round every 4 seconds (15 RPM), and McMaster (guy in Lowe Gear's quoted interview above) swore his loader could do one round every 3 seconds, he was just that good.
Btw: McMaster commanded Eagle Troop (mixed force of Abrams and Bradleys) in action against several battalions of Iraqi forces in the Gulf War, at the Battle of 73 Easting. It was one of the most lopsided defeats in history, as Eagle Troop utterly curbstomped the Iraqis (though not without a few Bradleys lost to enemy fire).

^ well I think since there is the issue of GAME SAFETY as has been discussed earlier, it seems they are not really using the standard WWII shells. So it is a distinct possibility that the Shells the Tiger is using would be a lot lighter, conforming to safety standards.
... yeah i know pushing on the believability envelope ... same as the carriers size/scaling ^^ well we're here to enjoy Girls und panzer |

I suddenly have a peculiar fondness of how they handle national stereotypes...
The familiar tune at the end of Episode 3 was a nice touch and quite fitting for St. Gloriana. I thought I'd never hear it in anime - Tak |
