was the P 26/40 comparable in performance and role to a Panzer IV or even a Panther?
>>64686872Why did they allow the girls to stick their heads out of the tanks in this show? They'd be getting killed all the time doing that irl.
>>64686922Carbon coating.
>>64686872There were so few of them plus riveted armor I doubt they were any good
>>64686927You misread my post. Try reading it again.
>>64686872Honestly, no. It would have been adequate if it actually entered service in 1940, but by 43 the 2 man turret, riveted armor and lack of commander cupola already made it obsolete. Even the raw stats (armor thickness, horsepower, gun performances) were pretty bad by mid-war standardsThe way the Italian industry refused to modernize itself is borderline criminal: Ansaldo got the license to produce panzer 3 and 4 early in the war and did nothing with it, and Fiat kept making shitty cr42 biplanes until 1943Unrelated, but this new captcha keeps getting more annoying every day
>>64686922Senshadō doesn't allow the use of machine guns, and the projectiles are designed to be non lethal and the tank chassis are riddled with sensors that calculate the damage taken based on the force of the impact. At least, that's what they tell the girls.
How come japan came out with bigger, better tanks than italy? It doesn't make sense, their country is all islands and mountains, and china wasn't their main front, the pacific was, at least after the british fucked up in burma and the dutch ran off. So where would they need their ginormous maus sized ballroom tanks anyway?
>>64687016Italy is also a highly mountainous country, as are Ethiopia and Spain, Italy's main battlegrounds in the 30s. more importantly tho, Japan simply had a stronger industry and two more years of wartime economy to develop tanks (which they never ended up deploying anyway).Before the 1943 armistice Italy was also in the processs of developing larger, better tanks, but the Italian industrial sector was chronically slow to react and way too focused on penny pinching even during full on world war
>>64686922The pantsu of each girl is equipped with projectile deflecting force field causing each shell to veer away harmlessly.
>>64687064Does the series even has panty shots? I'm pretty sure one of the main visual gags in GUP is to show the girls in angles were panties are almost visible but not quite there yet.Strike Witches on the other hand...
>>64687070I am sure there are anons here that are active members of the Pantsu Watch willing to do the research to discover if any girl was part of the Pantsu Elite for us.
>>64687016>japan came out with bigger, better tanks than italy?The difference being, of course, that Italy actually managed to field the few bigger TDs they made, while the Japs did nothing with theirs
>>64686922Anime plot magic. It's also how all the girls that were hit by the gerat mortar in the movie didn't immediately fucking die in the massive explosion
>poorfags>treated as the comic reliefs by the other schools>90% of their fleet are tankette shitboxes>couldn't win against the protag faction and their wunderkind commander>relegated to be the scouts in the OVA>it's anchovy's last year before graduation>wins against the poles>eddaje!.jgp>loses against darjeeling>tfw anzio will never win again and prolly would have to scrap senshado and go back to literature/chess clubs before they inevitably get sold out
>>64687016Japan has always had better industry than Italy
>>64687125If only she installed the scorpion rocket.
>>64687001didn't they use machine guns with tracer rounds during the night battle in the jungle against the jap school in das finale?
>>64687125At least they aren't complete jobbers in Ribbon Warrior
>>64689079good to hear lol. I’m about to start reading it and Anzio is my favorite
>>64686938He didn't misread your post. The answer is always carbon coating.
>>64687070>>64687092There are literally only a couple of frames of very minor panty shots in the entire series, they were expressly forbidden from putting them in.t. GuP loremaster
>>64687051Ugh...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carro_Armato_P.43#P43_bis
>>64687016japan is italy if everything worked.
>another piece of tank media with no Verdeja representation
>>64690063Disregard this post, I suck cocks
>>64689208Fun fact: Anzio's school uniform is a near 1:1 copy of the Italian fascist youth female uniform. The author pretty much just changed the chest badge and made the skirt shorter because anime. Even the cape that Chovy wears was historically part of the uniform.I guess the reason why they didn't do the same with Kurmorine is that HJ uniforms are somewhat more recognisable, and they might have felt they could not get away with it.
>>64689225Thank you for your report pantsumaster.
how does she smell?
>>64690049Saddamn
>>64690447orange and vanilla
>>64690447With her nose.
>>64686938After closely reading your post, I confirm that they're indeed carbon-coated for protection.
I wish at least they'd use the CV tanks with AT rifles instead of machine guns. It would at least give them a little suspension of disbelief that they could kill tanks
>>64691336Couldn't the 8mm Breda legit deal with some of the light tanks and tankettes they thought it might face in 1940? I think it stood at least some chance against the likes of a Panzer I?
>>64691336they did. they used the solothurn on it. ironically, GuP shows it as well in the tankathlon, and that's where Anzio shines. they're crap in senshado because of the lack of heavy tanks, but under the 3 ton threshold they racked up quite a number of victories.
>>64691440I thought open-topped TDs, or equivalents thereof (weapons carriers etc.) were banned.
>>64691466that's merely because they're poorfags that couldn't get their hands on the original encased design with casemate. i guess since the performance was basically the same they were allowed to be cheap and just strap an AT onto the LMG designs
>>64687125One of the better schools outside of Sensado, since they seem to spend all their time partying and relaxing.
>>64689294Cute as fuck.
>>64689294thats a t55
