A Compilation of Darjeeling and the rest of the St. Gloriana Girls in GuP. Starting and ending in the two videos of them that I already have, set to the "British Grenadier March"
We technically didn't invent the tank, first to build and produce them to the field yes, but the actually inventor was an Australian by the name of Lancelot de Mole who came to the British government with his blueprints.
Australia gained independence in 1901, it was it's own country with it's own citizens, and the Commonwealth was formed in 1931. We can take credit for the tank's creation but not it's invention, to do so would be arrogant and insulting on our part to our cousins in Australia.
They measured the range to the likely hiding place of the enemy and saw they were out of range before any firing occurred. That's why they were making a demonstration by driving past out of range, to locate the enemy. Any firing from there would be a lure, which indeed it was, but the St. Gloriana teams went for the push anyway.
@@stevetheduck1425 Combined with Ooarai’s combined god awful gunnery skills (except team Hippo and Anglerfish), Darjeeling and her tankers sensed inexperience from the very beginning. The Ooarai tankers were firing too early and too hurriedly, thereby creating wildly inaccurate barrages. And it didn’t help that Ooarai assumed their position after detecting St. Gloriana first; Ooarai didn’t have any time to settle in and catalog landmarks for distances (something snipers also do). If St. Gloriana were facing trained or veteran tankers, this battle would have ended very quickly with St. Gloriana being ambushed/sniped from an enemy positioned on the high ground. And, alternatively, Ooarai would have had an easier time ambushing St. Gloriana if they were positioned along the sides instead of the front, similar to the German coastal emplacements on Omaha Beach - St. Gloriana would not immediately know where they were being shot at until they escaped the kill zone.
That wedge formation was standard for 'firing on the move' tanks. The Germans used something similar; the 'Panzerkeil' or arrowhead formation, with their best tanks at the point.
For everyone that's saying they need targeting training, these tanks lack vertical stabilizing systems to fire on the move. And regarding to ooarai, they're inexperienced noobs. Lol
tachifortune and also they don't have much power in guns and penetrating. Panzer H or F2 can easily penetrate Churchill. If they would have Panther or Tiger that would be much easy to hit them
Tomo Piucha the Churchill 7 (I think that's the one there using) had 7 inches of frontal armour. that more than a tiger had. they were lumbering beasts of the battlefield
Jia Jun Oh the black prince only had 5 prototypes, it had a 17pdr. that's clearly the Churchill VII, the circular panel on the side is a clear tell, also, the VII also had a 6pdr.
They may be inexperienced but Miho is a scary prodigy which makes her the deadliest team on my Sensha-dō team rating list. Her unorthodox, often unpredictable tactics along with her 6th sense for sensing danger & intuition makes Ooarai a formidable team. Just look at how she took out the Maus for example.
Gotta day losing a track is the worst but in Anzus case she is so chill take point from the Time she stated that instead of the actual battle Momo and the other girl(the one that cleans the tank in a bikini idk her name) we bickering and anzus like wow what a raging battle
It seems to me that St Gloriana studied the terrain before the match and when they saw Miho's tank headed for the ambush site, they obviously figured "They're going to try and ambush us and are using the Panzer IV as bait to lure us there, we should execute evasive move Alpha /or something like that/ and flank them from two different directions.".
FUN FACT: during the first world war, the tank regiment used to make tea whilst in the tank from the hot water used to cool the engines. now, every British Tank has a tea-making station in it :)
Well at the very least they accurately portrayed the calm nature of the British. And the tea. They got the tea right too. All tanks made before 1945 came fully equipped to make tea.
Both were infantry tanks, intended to act as support during infantry attacks. Lighter tanks like the Vickers Mk.VI were the scouts using light and heavy machine guns, and the later cruiser tanks such as the Crusader were the fast 'cavalry' tanks. Arguably the Churchill was the first British 'battle' tank, but the first clear example of that was probably the Comet, in 1944.
The speed of the Churchill is actually quite realistic in GuP but it is still a little faster than it realy was (it's top speed vas 26 km/h and in anime it looks like it is going 30 - 35 km/h)
Dren Dolničar the rules of senshado dictated that you aren't allowed to modify the engine, there was no such rule emplaced that you couldn't modify the motor.
The British tank design is most certainly recognicable in the imperial guard of 40K. Slow mobile fortress walls made to support the infantry in taking out heavily fortified positions rather than enemy armour, this was changed once reality hit and we discovered there would be no trench warfare like in world war 1.
hans william Hansen Sorry but that's a Myth. The British 'Royal Ordinance QF-2 Pounder' gun of early war British Tanks was designed to destroy Other Tanks, it's sole round type was Armor Peircing (also one of the very first examples of what we'd now call an 'Armor Peircing Discarding Sabot Round'), it could defeat the armor of all Whermact Tanks in 1940. The QF-2 Pounder guns only weakness was it didn't have a High Explosive Round, meaning Tanks equipped with it had to rely upon their MG's to eliminate Infantry & towed Anti-Tank Guns. That and the Germans' uparmoring of the Panzer IV after 1940 rendered the 2 Pounder only useful against smaller fry. What we Britons actually lacked was the ability for "taking out heavily fortified positions" you claimed we did have XD (a shortcoming rectified by the 1944 D Day landings)
TSR1989B You're right about the 2-pounder. However, our friend was talking about the tanks. While saying that all British tanks designed before and during WW2 were infantry support tanks is incorrect (We actually had 2 different types of tank, cruiser tanks (fast, well armed tanks for chasing enemy armour divisions) and infantry tanks (slow, heavily armoured infantry support tanks)), the 2 (British) tanks shown in this video (Churchill and Matilda IIs) were all infantry tanks. As for dealing with heavily fortified positions, you might be surprised. True, we had no tank gun with an effective HE shell (the 3 main British guns of the time all being high-velocity, armour-piercing weapons unsuited for firing HE) but we made up for that shortcoming in other areas, most notably with artillery. In addition, while we had no /guns/ specialised for anti-infantry operations, we did have other tank /weapons/ suited for engaging infantry. Obviously, there was the machine gun, but there was also the "Mortar, Recoiling, Spigot Mk II" (or "petard"), a 290mm spigot mortar designed for, you guessed it, demolishing fortifications. This was mounted on a Churchill (usually a Mk III or IV), which turned it into a "Churchill AVRE." And, of course, there was the infamous "Churchill Crocodile" with a flamethrower in place of the bow machine gun. Sorry about the wall of text. I got a bit carried away. Plus, it's, like, 2am, so I'm really tired. Gonna go to sleep now. Night :)
God I love it. I begin every sentence, with an apology- sorry thats the case, thats just British policy, its probably the case with everything in honesty, I use ten words when two would do honestly, I'm British, and that makes me unique, atleast I think so when I hear you speak- see we used to have an empire but we got a little cocky like "Haha johnny foreigner, I'd like to see you stop me!"- and sure enough we rhubarb crumbled, now in all the towns all the drugged teens stumble- I'm rather glad really, it made us more humble, come and ask me where I'm from, dear boy I won't mumble! I'm british~ etc etc Lamb sauce- Prof. Elemental - I'm British
What I want to know is why St Gloriana didn't win the whole competition. I mean, they're clearly some sort of mechanical geniuses (genii?). Just look at how fast the Churchill and Matildas are going!
Because in the semifinals, St Gloriana ran smack into Kuromorimine headed by Maho and with Erika as 2nd in command. Maho's as good a commander as Miho while Erika's a skilled vice commander plus the Kuromorimine team was and still is top notch. St Gloriana DID put up one hell of a fight but in the end, fell to Kuromorimine's might. Besides, Oarai needed to be the one to beat Kuromorimine in order for Miho to further develop her character and so Maho could reconnect with Miho while Erika needed to be humbled and Shiho needed to realize that Miho's way of tankery was valid and reconnect with her too.
...You guys do realise I was joking, right? EDIT: And besides, you're all wrong. The real reason they didn't win was because their armour wasn't as thick as plot armour.
Consider that this was their first match, but they can't make excuse for the 2nd match which Darjeeling beat them in a tag team match. Darjeeling is currently 2 - 0 Miho in this series.
@@ryannguyen7466 They do kinda have an excuse, in that they were paired with chi-ha-tan, which were at the time, as commander koala put it, "A bunch of charging idiots".
First battle is fucking scary I imagine. Even in a tank. That's why you drill soldiers till they act automatically and don't think about running away from explosions. So as Oorai didn't have much training at this point it's a nice touch of realism for them to panic.
I'm not sure who Mathilda was, but she must have been pretty popular in the Commonwealth for a tank to be named after her. Even the Aussies wrote their anthem as tribute.
Hate to break it to you but the Mathilda the tanks were named after was a cartoon duck. They were so named because the tankers thought the mk1 looked a bit like a duck.
See, the British are just as tough as Americans. They show the same kind of duty, brotherhood, selflessness, determination and unwillingness to surrender in the face of unassailable odds. When it comes down to it, I'd rather have a former British military man watch my back than anyone else in Europe.
Of course, the British couldn't help the French avoid being conquered in WW2 by the Germans in 1940 despite watching their backs but that's merely a testament to how effective the German Blitzkreg was, it could even counter British aid .
Jesús Quiri ""The last sentence that you say is an insult to the rest of the European armies, like the Spanish soldiers, who prefer death to surrending"" Don't delude yourself. Napoleon subdued Spain with little effort (he even put his brother on the spanish throne), though many spanish resisted this the majority went along with the French. Just like the French with the Germans in 1940 (so much for "prefering death over surrendering"). Of course Spain - like France in WWII - paid for this Mass Capitulation, in a naval engaugement off Cape Trafalgar. Regarded to this day as the Battle which broke the back of the entire Spanish Empire, and it's worst ever Military Defeat of any kind. Moral of the Story: Don't collude with an enemy of the United Kingdom ~_^ (that said we Britons have been brow beating ever stratospheric Castillian ego's since the Battle of Winchelsea in 1350 XD). PS: Don't forget that ""the rest of the european armies"" (Britain isn't "European") that faced the Whermact LOST Badly. Only the Soviets' proved able to cofront head on (with military aid from us Brit's and later also from the yank's) and actually Defeat the Bucket Heads in Battle (besides us in North Africa anyway). Spain never bothered to get involved at all (though the fact it was at that time also run by an egotistical psuedo-facist despot might have something to do with it).
Jesús Quiri Oi... the Peninsular war started because Portugal was one of the few countries on Europe to say "fuck you" to Napoleon and refused to colaborate in the Continental Blockade against the UK. You guys even sided with the french at the begining and invaded Portugal with them!! Despite you having an agreement with us of mutual defence against France! Then they double crossed you, and what did you guys do?? Come and ask for our help and the British! At the end what you say is good and all, but don't forget that in the Peninsular war, you managed to barely win due to the help of Portugal and Great Britain... and a lot of times you disregarded or din't help the Allied armies at all, and tried to attack french armies by yourself and get routed or destroyed more than a few times... but alas... all is well that ends well... In the WWII, you're partly correct Hitler didn't invaded Spain because it would be very very costly, the Iberian Peninsula terrain is hell, lots of mountains, valleys, rivers, whatever, a few defendind soldiers can cause a lot of trouble. And as you said Spanish and Portuguese soldiers are crazy... also don't forget Portugal had an Alliance with Spain in case Hitler invaded. Although around these parts (Portugal) we don't trust you guys all that much (see above the peninsular war with France). So we had Britain and possibly the US to back us up. And then the Allies would have a foothold in continental Europe to which to fight Hitler. Napoleonic Wars 2.0 comes to mind, with the same end result for Hitler... P.S.:Sorry to reply to a old post, but I have to add some details... Portugal is a very small and insignificant nation these days (and throught most of it's history...), but we have existed for more than 9 centuries, we kick ass when we need... and hardly ever get any credit...
Jesús Quiri You say that your people kicked a lot of ass and they did but I need to ask you something, how do you explain how easily the Americans were able to defeat your people in the Spanish-American war in 1898? Bad leadership perhaps?
I see, quite interesting. You forgot to mention that the Spanish were fighting insurgents both in Cuba AND the Phillipines, that had to have sapped Spain's fighting strength too. It looks to me like the Spanish no matter how tough their troops were got screwed over hard by their politicians who failed to provide them with proper leadership, ships and manpower plus engaged in policies that led to open rebellion in their colonies that made it easier for the Americans to seized control of. I can imagine that the war against the Americans in 1898 must be a bitter memory for your people. It'd have been interesting to see how the war would've turned out had things been more even.
I just watched this episode..they battle at the neighbourhood, and surprisingly all of these tanks were fast...but in real life the Matilda and Churchill are really slow except for the Panzer
It's truth in television, ALL British tanks, from past (like Churchill) to present day (Challenger 2) has tea brewing equipment (not sure if the crew has to bring their own cup though.) installed on board every single one of them, as in 'Inside fighting compartment' no less! So yes, they can do it even In Real Life, theoritically at least.
But for some reason they weren't in the finals in 63rd tournament, because Kuromorimine in semifinals gangbanged them off. They are still the force to be reckoned with, but black forest is just too powerful
The St. Gloriana Girl’s academy is a British association in World War II that British war minister Lord Kitchener wants any British girl to join the military.
When I first saw this anime I though: a Churchill and 4 Matildas managing to keep up with a Pz, damn, did they put a turbo on that? xD I want that for WoT!! :P
I wonder if there's an in universe reason to why Rosehip didn't participate in St. Gloriana's match against Ooarai . Would have been fun to see her doing donuts around the newbie Ooarai squad.
Probably because she didn't exist at this time in the autors minds I don't remember exactly how but they tryed to give an explanation in one of the drama CD. It was something like she wasn't disciplined/classy enough or something like that.
Hmm... Churchills and Matildas keeping up with a Panzer 4... must be jet fuel. (if you don't know, both british tanks were infantry support tank not meant to go over the average sprinting speed of a person)...
Considering the panzer 4, m3 Lee, and stug are the only things that can pen anything in this scene I dont get why they chose the British knowing their tank line up

I Know right.....But In World of tanks Its So Slow.
+Denz Jefferson Q. Fernandez (Prince_Denz_Jefferson) realistically it was slow

in Senshado, engine upgrades ar forbidden, but no one said anything about the motor.
Slye_Fox Downhill, on a paved road, on the highest gear setting.
In a combat setting, it’d be more like 10mph.

The composure is so true of the British in for a battle of the time period in which the song comes from
I loved this it's amazing how Oaria is noobie at first then all badass
Consider that this was their first match, but they can't make excuse for the 2nd match which Darjeeling beat them in a tag team match. Darjeeling is currently 2 - 0 Miho in this series.
@@ryannguyen7466 They do kinda have an excuse, in that they were paired with chi-ha-tan, which were at the time, as commander koala put it, "A bunch of charging idiots".
OUR GIRLS ARE RANNING FROM THE BATURRFIELD! SHAMFUR DISUPRAY!!
Ah, Shogun 2 I see
Walking towards enemy fire and not giving a fuck is the most British thing to do.
Training realistically to lean how to fire accurately on the move is a very British tank thing to do as well.
The girls from St. Gloriana's are all named after a type of tea
*Britishness intensifies*
Honestly you can see why they lost, they tried to take the high ground against a tank with literal anti-gravity capabilities.
Yup..the Churchill's really can climbed steep hill realisticly
...and after that, Anglefish Dance!
Everyone gangsta until a churchill heavy tank can drift
The way they maintain a perfect formation reminds me of a fighter squadron.
It comes from how horses were ideally manouvered in formations.
Yep that’s exactly how I played the M3 Lee in both Warthunder an World of Tanks 😂
Could've sworn there was seven of them in the Lee. Still made it look like an emergency evac from a clown car (the pink pain helped).
First battle is fucking scary I imagine. Even in a tank.
That's why you drill soldiers till they act automatically and don't think about running away from explosions.
So as Oorai didn't have much training at this point it's a nice touch of realism for them to panic.
I believe that the British tanks consist of 4 Matildas, and 1 Churchill VI heavy tank.
.... And all that effort just for a drop of Tea...
I don't need tank sniper is the best way to pass those armor
I'm not sure who Mathilda was, but she must have been pretty popular in the Commonwealth for a tank to be named after her. Even the Aussies wrote their anthem as tribute.
Hate to break it to you but the Mathilda the tanks were named after was a cartoon duck. They were so named because the tankers thought the mk1 looked a bit like a duck.
Like the Char B1 bis? They must all look like ducks. I'm surprised there was never a Donald type tank.
Well, there was the Donald Douglas aircraft company lol.Which has now reminded me of the HS 129 ground attack aircraft, also nicknamed Duck.
The old robot-fighter game Tech Romancer also had a tank like mech called Wise Duck.
Since this Anime exist, we still don't know Churchill's Machine Gunner and the Driver
It's probably a class thing...
See, the British are just as tough as Americans. They show the same kind of duty, brotherhood, selflessness, determination and unwillingness to surrender in the face of unassailable odds. When it comes down to it, I'd rather have a former British military man watch my back than anyone else in Europe.
Of course, the British couldn't help the French avoid being conquered in WW2 by the Germans in 1940 despite watching their backs but that's merely a testament to how effective the German Blitzkreg was, it could even counter British aid .
Jesús Quiri ""The last sentence that you say is an insult to the rest of the European armies, like the Spanish soldiers, who prefer death to surrending""
Don't delude yourself. Napoleon subdued Spain with little effort (he even put his brother on the spanish throne), though many spanish resisted this the majority went along with the French. Just like the French with the Germans in 1940 (so much for "prefering death over surrendering").
Of course Spain - like France in WWII - paid for this Mass Capitulation, in a naval engaugement off Cape Trafalgar. Regarded to this day as the Battle which broke the back of the entire Spanish Empire, and it's worst ever Military Defeat of any kind.
Moral of the Story: Don't collude with an enemy of the United Kingdom ~_^
(that said we Britons have been brow beating ever stratospheric Castillian ego's since the Battle of Winchelsea in 1350 XD).
PS: Don't forget that ""the rest of the european armies"" (Britain isn't "European") that faced the Whermact LOST Badly. Only the Soviets' proved able to cofront head on (with military aid from us Brit's and later also from the yank's) and actually Defeat the Bucket Heads in Battle (besides us in North Africa anyway).
Spain never bothered to get involved at all (though the fact it was at that time also run by an egotistical psuedo-facist despot might have something to do with it).
Jesús Quiri
Oi... the Peninsular war started because Portugal was one of the few countries on Europe to say "fuck you" to Napoleon and refused to colaborate in the Continental Blockade against the UK. You guys even sided with the french at the begining and invaded Portugal with them!! Despite you having an agreement with us of mutual defence against France! Then they double crossed you, and what did you guys do?? Come and ask for our help and the British! At the end what you say is good and all, but don't forget that in the Peninsular war, you managed to barely win due to the help of Portugal and Great Britain... and a lot of times you disregarded or din't help the Allied armies at all, and tried to attack french armies by yourself and get routed or destroyed more than a few times... but alas... all is well that ends well...
In the WWII, you're partly correct Hitler didn't invaded Spain because it would be very very costly, the Iberian Peninsula terrain is hell, lots of mountains, valleys, rivers, whatever, a few defendind soldiers can cause a lot of trouble. And as you said Spanish and Portuguese soldiers are crazy... also don't forget Portugal had an Alliance with Spain in case Hitler invaded. Although around these parts (Portugal) we don't trust you guys all that much (see above the peninsular war with France). So we had Britain and possibly the US to back us up. And then the Allies would have a foothold in continental Europe to which to fight Hitler. Napoleonic Wars 2.0 comes to mind, with the same end result for Hitler...
P.S.:Sorry to reply to a old post, but I have to add some details... Portugal is a very small and insignificant nation these days (and throught most of it's history...), but we have existed for more than 9 centuries, we kick ass when we need... and hardly ever get any credit...
Jesús Quiri You say that your people kicked a lot of ass and they did but I need to ask you something, how do you explain how easily the Americans were able to defeat your people in the Spanish-American war in 1898? Bad leadership perhaps?
I see, quite interesting. You forgot to mention that the Spanish were fighting insurgents both in Cuba AND the Phillipines, that had to have sapped Spain's fighting strength too.
It looks to me like the Spanish no matter how tough their troops were got screwed over hard by their politicians who failed to provide them with proper leadership, ships and manpower plus engaged in policies that led to open rebellion in their colonies that made it easier for the Americans to seized control of.
I can imagine that the war against the Americans in 1898 must be a bitter memory for your people. It'd have been interesting to see how the war would've turned out had things been more even.
LOL love it when they just drink TEA anytime they want that's just LOL IN ALL episodes they show them drinking TEA YEA!TEA!
+Ender 206 Well all British armoured vehicles are equipped with a tea dispenser.
I'm not joking.
The might of the British themed team =D
Ah.
Aaaaah, I get it.
She's called Darjeeling and she drinks tea all the time.
*headdesks silently*
need more vids like this!
I just watched this episode..they battle at the neighbourhood, and surprisingly all of these tanks were fast...but in real life the Matilda and Churchill are really slow except for the Panzer
I think we all know that
Hopefully
This is so beautiful :3
It's truth in television, ALL British tanks, from past (like Churchill) to present day (Challenger 2) has tea brewing equipment (not sure if the crew has to bring their own cup though.) installed on board every single one of them, as in 'Inside fighting compartment' no less!
So yes, they can do it even In Real Life, theoritically at least.
So British, they even have tea slapped on the side of their tanks! *Class!*
I like the Rookies versus Pros Dynamic that they got going here. The Oari team doesn't have group cohesion yet. St Gloriana's have their game down.
this legendary video was released 10 years ago...
2:33
Abandon ship! Abandon ship!
hahahahahaha!
Pink tank: "bail out ! bail out OP Churchill tank!! " British Tank: "LOOK HOW THOSE NOOB RUN GET REKT" Yellow tank: "WTF IS MY TEAMMATE DOING "
@@ikoartiaga5971 "Get Colonized Ruffians!"
*Hold J to leave tank*
Nothing like a spot of tea in a tank.
remember, St.Gloriana weren't lose any matches in GUP series, and they even won Ooarai twice. They're strongest team in series
But for some reason they weren't in the finals in 63rd tournament, because Kuromorimine in semifinals gangbanged them off. They are still the force to be reckoned with, but black forest is just too powerful
@@smellslikeanvil9257 so that's their first lose in series
there's ALWAYS time for tea!
Love the theme ❤🇬🇧
that chain of command is absolute dang
2:32 A shamefur dispray!!!
Nice vid. Shout out from the GundP WoT clan. Fighting teapots! Urah!
They are having tea and driving the fucking tanks around at the same time, damn it.
The St. Gloriana Girl’s academy is a British association in World War II that British war minister Lord Kitchener wants any British girl to join the military.
Gloriana is the familiar name for Queen Elizabeth the first. Intruiging the Japanese made her a saint.
Is there a Saint Gloriana?
alot of people should even if they dont know the name of it, it was used quite alot in old warmovies and such
At this moment my computer os colonized
Darjeeling barks on about how they NEVER drop tea in their tanks ever......Then if I remember, she ends up breaking it anyway xD
The hearing of these girls must be insane cause they can fire tanks with giant calibers without ear protection
Idk why people forgot the fact that Darjeeling was, the only commander in this series, currently 2 - 0 Miho even though Miho won the tourament.
one reason why St.Gloriana is my favorite school in the entire series.
Like this calm but no arrogant Style :D
I think at the first time is it difficult to hit with a tank gun but with a littel bit more time and training have they lot`s of hits right ?
It would be so amusing if they had a TOG2
The episode Song that they use is the British grandier song
St. Gloriana is basically the Royal Tank Regiment but more Kawaii and even more Elegant. Aye!
When I first saw this anime I though: a Churchill and 4 Matildas managing to keep up with a Pz, damn, did they put a turbo on that? xD I want that for WoT!! :P
ImperatorRom Off road a Churchill VII can keep up with a panzer 4
god dam that tea must be diffrent from the normal tea
keep calm and tank on.
Who else wants this to be an international sport?
International tank competitions exist, one was held recently in Europe. Guess why.
@stevetheduck1425 no fuckin way. You're kidding right?
I just realised that they're actual *Redcoats*
oh yeah Earlgrey will be in the movie, i think it'll be an allstar team vs former top commanders.
If Asam is the gunner, Orange Pekoe is the loader and Darjeeling is the Commander; then who's the driver?
MOAR TEA!
TEA IS OUR *DAKKA!*
I wonder if there's an in universe reason to why Rosehip didn't participate in St. Gloriana's match against Ooarai . Would have been fun to see her doing donuts around the newbie Ooarai squad.
It is because oarai had only five tanks so they only brought five tanks.
Probably because she didn't exist at this time in the autors minds
I don't remember exactly how but they tryed to give an explanation in one of the drama CD. It was something like she wasn't disciplined/classy enough or something like that.
ousou78 She did exist but she was not aloved to participate in the match. You can read on Wiki about Rosehip why she was not aloved.
She wasn’t elegant enough according to the wiki
Surn Nguyen she was on holiday visiting friends over in Gibraltar.
Hmm... Churchills and Matildas keeping up with a Panzer 4... must be jet fuel. (if you don't know, both british tanks were infantry support tank not meant to go over the average sprinting speed of a person)...
God I love this anime !
El Halluf is calling, it wants its camping spots back...
we fuel our tanks with all mighty british tea thats why there so tough xD but yea our armor isnt to be snuffed at just the speed probably
If you've ever played war thunder, you will know that both the Matilda and Churchill tanks are slow af
Videogame Matt
But still tough nuts to crack, unless you got a Pz 4 f2
Considering the panzer 4, m3 Lee, and stug are the only things that can pen anything in this scene I dont get why they chose the British knowing their tank line up
which version of the British Grenadier did you use and can you send a link?
Handled like proper pros.
