Carbon Coating

>How is it no one's been seriously injured or killed in these competitions?
even with the carbon coating, some of its still pretty insane. like miho spends 90% of her time sticking half her body out of the tank. And they even have ammo for the machineguns. what purpose does having machineguns serve in a tank if not to kill ppl poking their heads out of the tanks?
>Also what did you think of the movie?
Totsugeki school was goat. nice to see japs acknowledge when they are retarded
>>
Magical, mostly unexplained carbon coating. We all know it's just an excuse. Though it doesn't tank everything seeing how Miho's backstory involves a tank falling into a river and the crew almost drowning.
The movie was pretty much everything I could have asked of it. Aside from maybe the plot being just "we didn't save the school hard enough".

Also, be warned that last time a GuP thread showed up here a MOD actually appeared and moved it to /a/. Crazy, I know, most people think mods are a myth like bigfoot or Santa, but it happened.

Then I found out they live on 24 km Super Carriers that have cities on them. I'm not even an engineer and I can tell you what's wrong with that. Real world Super Carriers are approximately 350 m for a reason.

Their sports-use tanks can have thin armor and that carbon-coating enhanced armor can take one hell of a beating from the biggest guns and their heavy ass projectiles without even being damaged in any way.

The same shit, or even something stronger and better, being used for their carriers wouldn't be a stretch.

The australians tried building their own tank, its the Sentinel.

Its pretty decent for a nation with no tank building experience, the gun is more than enough to deal with whatever the japanese could bring to them(Chi-has?)

Its 1940 at the time of the designing of the Sentinel.

M3 Stuart and M3 Lee were still being developed at the time.

The Sentinel is weird in quite a few ways.

If the shell has sufficient HE filler in it, I don't think it would matter.
And rocket firing tanks are a niche thing, they're cool but not very practical, the calliope never saw widespread service for a number of reasons (logistics being one of them) and the various Russian "rocket artillery tanks" ended up being footnotes compared to the standard truck Katyushas for similar reasons.

Well, it works, and if one of the engines died and you can't fix it, you could disconnect it and run on the remaining two. Then if another engine died, you can disconnect it and run it on the last engine. Its just slower than usual.
In a way, its double redundancy, I guess.

seeing what the needs of the Australian Army were when they were retaking the East Indies, that is, lots of HE to obliterate hardened Japanese positions in the midst of thick jungle, the Matilda Hedgehog is pretty good.

Being depth charges, and heavy, meant that the hedgehog projectiles wouldn't detonate when they hit the tree canopy, and they would partially penetrate the roofs of Japanese bunkers (which were often made out of cut down trees and foliage)

Probably the same way they did, but with lots of safety like regular Senshado?

Considering that the Sturmtiger and its 380mm rocket launcher was mentioned when they were thinking of the possibilities of what was nuking them from the sky, rocket launchers are probably legal, but not used for reasons.

I assume that the rockets' performance just wasn't worth the cost.

>Following demobilisation on 15 November 1947, Wojtek was given to Edinburgh Zoo, where he spent the rest of his life, often visited by journalists and former Polish soldiers, some of whom would toss him cigarettes, which he proceeded to eat because there was no one there to light them for him.

Given scenes such as when Saori talks with Miho in ep.4 and her total disregard for her own safety, I can only conclude that Miho & others are actually superhuman to some extent.

Yukari, for example, can fling around Mako with just one arm and the hikki team got swole enough to toss around 75mm shells singlehandedly in only a few days.

Everyone's also immune to blast, concussion, shrapnel, and have reinforced skeletons.
>>
>>14386254
They were reversing when they made the shot. One thing you have to note is that her head is relatively small compared to the tank, the chances of her head getting hit in the first place is small.

Guns of the era don't have good accuracy on-the-move anyway.

Ah I see.
>>
>>14386519
The recently removed WT E100 was a fake. So is the currently still in game GW E100, or the GW Tiger P.

The E-50M is technically a fake, but its heavily based on historical information(And some logical inferring from WG's side) and is a huge "What if?" based on said information.
Its an E-50 with a rear-transmission, they didn't really went into rear-transmissions, but the historical design plans had a hull design for a rear transmission which was about 15 cm longer than the standard hull. Its noted that to accommodate the engine/transmission, the turret have to be moved forward a little as opposed to being in the center like for the other german tanks.
The in-game E-50M is 15cm longer, and the turret is slightly further forward.
