symbv said: Sae said: This is very interesting information. I think the gun is too slow to track and hit a flying plane but a stationary target like an airship is very different. Now I wonder if it will be used in the coming episode to give the Sauders some nasty surprise ;-) (that said, targeting an airborne target would be quite different from hitting a target on the ground using the rangefinder, so perhaps it may not be that easy for the M3 team after all)Ironically, M3 Medium (Lee) they use has a quite unique advantage of 60° elevation for its turret gun. While odds of hitting a moving plane with it are virtually zero, an airship is pretty much like a sitting duck for it. It's actually "easy" to point the gun "up" - just park the tank on a bank/hillside. In fact, the US M4/75 Sherman and M10 tank destroyers were often pressed into ad-hock indirect fire support (with a lot of help from trained artillery men to actually 'aim' the guns) and they either took advantage of local ground contours our had banks dug for them. Also, that balloon is NOT going to be anywhere near high enough to cause a problem for the main gun of a tank reaching it. |

Not so much. Even with their modest 37mm gun, shooting at a stationary airship within a 1km range is a straightforward task that doesn't require complex calculations. |

| ^ I am not so sure... but anyway what is the max height that a shell shot from the 37mm gun can reach ? |

cruiser2710 said: symbv said: Probably a recap.... oh well...... Anyway, some highlights from Ep.5 - another wonderful episode ! Hey you the tank expert, dream of a room like Akiyama's? Few things about the anime... First up, right after Strike Witches, Girls und Panzers seems to be another extremely well researched anime. Kudos to the production team! Now back to Akiyama's room... First up, just like in episode 2, there's sublimal or BLATANT product advertisment. Just the boxes itself I see Italeri (A Pz 38(t) top box art with a DML for the sides of the cover... Funny), Tamiya and possibly Trumpter or Eastern Express (the red box and it's a KV II) On the shelf, he have the following in 1/35 scale... Top - Cromwell, Archilles, not sure which German armoured car and Pz II Bottom - Tristar's Panzerbefehlswagen I, Italeri's Gepard and Strumpanzer Iv Very close! The tank next to the Cromwell is actually M36 Jackson, with SdKfz 223 just next to it. Not the most common choices for military models to display I gotta say! |

At least :) According to the wwiivehicles.com site (as well as wiki), the muzzle velocity of the US 37mm AT is about 960 yards per SECOND. In two seconds, it's already traveled two kilometers. Accounting for air resistance would certainly help to slow it down, but that balloon is no where near high enough to be out of reach. |

We're not just talking about outside of combat though. As this discussion points out, it was extremely common practice in many armies to fight "unbuttoned," and in fact still is. Drivers and tank commanders in particular hate to rely on the narrow field of vision the periscopes and vision blocks afford them - they get no situational awareness. As such, they would often only truly button up when facing infantry (mainly due to sniping) and artillery (shrapnel always finds the unprotected guy). Germans were quite famous for, just as depicted, frequently fighting tank vs tank engagements unbuttoned. It's similar to when they were discussing Ulric's tactics in A Knight's Tale. While many try to minimize even the slim chance of getting hit with your head sticking out, leaving that vulnerability there generates massive benefits in situational awareness, and with it reaction time. And let's face it: the chances of a shot hitting a partially exposed driver or tank commander that otherwise wouldn't have hurt them is insanely low, especially when the enemy is moving too*. Fun fact: the necessary stabilization and targeting systems to fire accurately at moving targets while on the move did not exist in WWII. Tanks usually stopped completely before firing if their goal was actually to hit the enemy at anything other than near-point blank range. It wasn't until the late 1960s that tanks with even a modest fire-on-the-move capability began seeing service, and not until the early '80s when ones that could do so at high speed became prevalent. Cold War Soviet armor doctrine, for example, called for an advance speed of 35-40 km/h in the 1980s, as that was the maximum speed a T-72 could fire accurately from. |
ErwinJA said: Yep. I've read that since in the Israeli army during the 60s, 70s and 80s it was "doctrine" for the commander to be exposed the job of tank commander was considered one of the most dangerous in the army, backed up by their casualty rates.Drivers and tank commanders in particular hate to rely on the narrow field of vision the periscopes and vision blocks afford them - they get no situational awareness. |

More Offtopic Trivia: actually, since 1941~1942 US employed one-axis stabilization on almost all tanks, and many armoured cars as well. Though, that particular system wasn't too effective (outside the proving ground, at least), was a maintenance nightmare and required extensive additional training from gunners, so even in the US few crews bothered with it, and postwar this direction was abandoned for more than ten years. USSR too, during WWII worked on stabilizers (of a more suitable type), but it wasn't until early 50s that this technology was developed enough to be fielded. Oddly enough, it was the British who quickly developed and first fielded a practical tank stabilizer in about 1948. |

I like the enemy team as they are friendly. Team Anglerfish, lol. TCEZUS! 5/5 loved every last second of it. |
| I found something. Darjeelin's vehicle is called the "Pink Panther" The Pink Panther is an adaptation of Land Rovers for military purposes. Approximately 100 Series IIA models were adapted to reconnaissance use by the British special operations forces the SAS. For desert use they were often painted pink, hence the name. The vehicles were fitted with among other gear a sun compass, machine guns, larger fuel tanks and smoke dischargers. Similar adaptations were later made to Series IIIs and 90/110/Defenders. During Yukari's exposed espionage, it was funny to see Kei laughing when Yukari mention Sgt. Oddball. Kei must have known and watch Kelly's heroes. Kei is likable compared to the other two bitches that are with her. |

| ^ I was amazed to see it has the same name as the movie/cartoon character (wonder if that character drew his name from this vehicle?) when Japan fans mentioned it in the GalPan forum... Great find you have it here. People who want to take a look at the real "Pink Panter" can check here |

It's just a theory on my part tho so a can be wrong. Carbon weighs less then metal so gravity will have less effect on it however the wind will have more effect on it. Sae said: So it is possible the only problem they have to worry about it that it might give away there position.SayuriUliana said: Aversa said: The guns of a tank can be pointed upwards till a certain angle so a good gunner might be able the get that airship down. It's just a theory on my part tho so a can be wrong. The elevation of many tank guns is limited though, requiring that you get far enough away from the target to be able to get a bead on. Also, hitting a target in mid-air, even a stationary one, is incredibly difficult due to factors like gravity that arcs the shot. There's a reason that anti-aircraft work is left to dedicated platforms like SPAAG's (self-propelled anti-aircraft guns). Ironically, M3 Medium (Lee) they use has a quite unique advantage of 60° elevation for its turret gun. While odds of hitting a moving plane with it are virtually zero, an airship is pretty much like a sitting duck for it. |
Aversa said: Actually I only mentioned that Miho said the inside of the tank is coated with some carbon material which I think is to tell us that there should be no worry that a shell will penetrate the armor or cause fragments to fly inside the tank when hit by a shell. I don't think I said the shells need to made out of carbon...Did someone else say that?i believe you also mentioned in a previous topic that the shells/bullets fired from the tanks should be made out of carbon according to the regulations.

| Hmm, just wonder something.... How many crew does M3 Lee need? Since it got 2 guns, the duty for the crew will be - 1 Commander - 1 Driver - 2 Gunners - 2 Loaders - 1 Radio operator 7 people total....so, the first year team should have one more member? or the girls on the left side of driver (who act as radio operator) will act as a loader too? |
| ^ Information I found (below). Seems seven is ideal but it can be operated by six or five. "The initial crew included a driver, commander, gunner and loader, upper gunner, a machine-gun servant and a radio operator, totaled seven. The British model did'nt included the radio operator. Later, the US crew were also reduced to six and even five by 1942, as the radio operator became also a gunner. " http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/US/ww2_US_Lee-Grant_M3.php |

| So episode 5 made me go watch Kelly's Heroes one more time. I think that movie and Girls und Panzer go well together - both aren't really meant to be taken seriously but are fun to watch nonetheless. I then realized that The Battle Hymn of the Republic was also playing from Oddball's Sherman when it arrives toward the end of the movie. I'm now pulling for the entire final battle sequence of the movie to appear in some form in a future episode. Maybe a pink paint round into the back of Maho's Tiger? |
| This episode wasn't as bad, we finally get to see a respectable Panzer school (her sister's). I also like the use of the radio interception balloon, although it's really obvious and can easily be utilized against them (as seen). 3/5. |

| Does anybody have a scanner available which can scan the Japanese text parts of these two "giveouts" and then put up the text (still in Japanese) on a post here? Then those of us with poor Japanese reading skills would be able to use online translation tools ( such as http://translate.google.com/#ja/en/ ) to get some idea of the English meaning. There is some interesting stuff. Of course, it would be super if somebody wants to volunteer to actually translate it, but that would be 100x more work than just scanning it for us. |

| Symbv, thanks for pointing out that earlier post. Thank you also to entropy13 for doing the translation. But I don't get this rule: 2-02 制限車輛數 各チムの競技車輛數は各識合ごとに聯盟が指定する制限車輛數 を上回つてはならない﹒ etc. 各 each チム team の 's 競技 competition 車輛 vehicle 數 number は 各識合ごとに must (for each team) conform to 聯盟が the Association's 指定する specification of 制限車輛數 the number of vehicles を 上回つて exceed はならない﹒ must not This is the rule about the limitation on the number of tanks that each team can use. From my limited ability to read Japanese, apparently all it says is that the number of tanks is limited by the Association, but it isn't more specific. It seems crazy to let 10 M4 Shermans fight against the 5 Ooarai tanks. So how could the Association approve that? In Episode 5 I think I remember Miho saying that there was a limit of ten tanks per team. |

In anime, I think the characters also talked about that in the cafe, that the limit is 10 tanks and Saunders is rich enough to deploy 10 (in fact a lot more) so they have to face 10 tanks. It just goes to show how rich schools are advantaged in this senshado tournament. Or we can lament how poor our heroines' school is... BTW, for the first part of the 2-02 rule, the translation would go: 2-02 Vehicle Number Limit The total number of the vehicles sent to the match by each team cannot be more than the number limit of vehicles set by the Association for the specific match. |

It is because she is fast in thumbing mails on her phone (check Ep.3) - Kay indeed does not know radio interception is going on. - Since Kay likes to be leading the battle from the front, she decided not to make her tank as the "flag tank". - The battle of Saunders vs Ooarai is fought on an island, and the island's shape is modeled after the Awaji Island http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awaji_Island However, the vegetation or built-up areas are all changed in the anime. - There will be an OVA about the events happened after the espionage and the actual battle against the Saunders and this will be included in the BD. - The meeting room in the Saunders and the pathways that Akiyama made her escape were modeled after the inside of the Hyuga helicopter-destroyer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hy%C5%ABga_class_helicopter_destroyer - The idea of Akiyama sneaked into the Saunders to spy on their team came from Director Mizushima. - Those plastic model tanks in Akiyama's room were not done by CG, as usually the case, but was done by hand-drawn animation. - We decided that the Akiyama's Barber is not doing very good business, so we got her dad to sit on a customer's seat when Miho and the girls came in. - Akiyama watches the Senshado's tournament final (only the final is broadcast on TV) every year. - The notebook that the waitress in the Panzer Cafe used to write down orders is modeled after the notebook used by the Germany Army. - Near the end of ep.4, there is a chart for all the schools entering the senshado tournament. All the names for those schools which will lose in the first round were Director Mizushima's idea. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| I loved the sgt oddball reference. Am i the only one who gets a hard on from this series? |
