Panzermadels: Tank Dating Simulator

~ thearmoredpatrol

Ok, so this is insane. Since a long time ago, in 2012, when a nice anime called Upotte!! was ongoing (it was pretty cool, but the OVA was shitty) and it had anthropomorphized weapons (read as assault rifles personified into girls) training and fighting with each other (armed with the weapons they actually were, epic right?), and since Girls und Panzer (nice tank battles and parades but lacked in the character department), I did not see any millitary-themed anime (if wrong, add some examples in the comments please, I will check them out).

Nice clouds out there. And the font, too. Hitler would be proud.

But this time, it is entirely different. Anthropomorphized TANKS. You can date them. In a dating simulator. Check out this story:

„Erwin Lemmor just got transferred to a prestigious military academy to study Armored Warfare. But when he arrives, Erwin realizes it’s not Tank School, but “Tank School” for World War II Main Battle Tanks. Who happen to look just like Japanese School Girls…! (Seb: I wonder why they always look like Japanese schoolgirls… and not North Korean ones?)

Instead of studying military history and doctrine, he’s in “Basic Artillery Computations for Fire Support 101”, and “Radio Operations 214”. Will he win the heart of the tank-girls, or end up as cannon fodder? Only you can decide in, “Panzermadels: Tank Dating Simulator”.”

It even has a Kickstarter page!  Some guys already funded that :/

Some screenshots for lulz:

Historically accurate. But they misspelled Panzerkampfwagen in the back.
Kudos for that pink-haired T-34. Why is she so unhappy?

And there is a trailer, too: Continue reading “Panzermadels: Tank Dating Simulator” →

Yuri Pasholok Q&A

~ thearmoredpatrol

Q: What will happen to the KV-4 when it will be modelled in HD since there are about 20 proposals? – (Seb: will add a link to them soon)

-The in-game KV-4 model is the one that won the contest, the Dukhov project. We will not change it to something else.

Q: Will T110E5 be replaced with MBT-70?

-It makes no sense.

Q: Are there enough strong tanks with thick armor (high tiers) left to be implemented in WoT?

-There are a few dozens. The objective of the game is to implement all the tanks in the world. But we will not make new branches „as fast as a machine gun”. It is not constructive. We need new game-modes. And if we introduce new tanks, they must be really interesting and unusual. And, in principle, some of the new trees lack high-tier tanks.

Q: Are there any plans to implement the Sturmpanzer PzKpfw III, IV and 38t?

-This is probably a question for the game design department. In principle, there is material for at least one branch, but then everyone should work harder.

Q: Is the TD based off IS-4 real?

-Almost not at all. But there were some plans to install 152 mm guns. I do not know, maybe there are some TDs.

Q: The Swedes and Italians will have separate tech trees?

-Everything is okay with the Swedish tech tree, but the Italian one is in a worse shape. But the main branch was made. Continue reading “Yuri Pasholok Q&A” →
