Late Note - AND, it turns out that MichaelC wrote nearly the same thing on your other thread about an hour before I did. See? It ain't only me!

What does the writing say on the side of the tank ?....is it a team name or a tank name ?
.
Are there any 'Rules' about which team uses which countries tanks ?? ........and is it acceptable to have a complete mix and match of tanks ?

Sci fi 'Mods' I have seen but Anime is a new one on me for WW2 tanks......nice detailing work on the commanders.....but you definitely need to find the 'close-up' setting for the camera ...
(it can often be a flower symbol)

LOL HELLO Dietrich

Let me see now... the answer for question one... the writings/emblems on the side of the tanks are symbols for the perspective schools...Question two .. the answer is pretty much the same as the answer for question one...it's the schools name
Question three.. there wasn't any real "spoken" rule to the choice of tanks... but in most cases the tanks used by each school was based on the country they represented...
OARAI SAUNDERS PRAVDA
ST GLORIANA'S .. ANDKUROMORIMIRO
OARAI was the only school that had identifying marks on their tanks... after their first defeat to ST GLORIANA'S
THE PANZER IVTHE STUG III
THE M3 LEE/GRANT PZKPFW38T
TYPE 89
where the initial five...
Question four ...Yes it was acceptable for schools to have a mixed group of tanks... but in the original story... they only really showed OARAI having a hodge podge of tanks ...ST GLORIANA'S was outfitted with a Churchill (command tank)...followed by four MATILDA'S or VALENINE tanks SAUNERS made up of variants of the SHERMAN... PRAVDA..having T34s KV1 KV2 JS2 I think there was mention of some STALINS but I never saw any in the sequences..KUROMORIMIRO.. had just about every German tank made with the exception of the PANZER IV HETZER PZKPFW 38T

The mods aren't really SCI FI .... the schools don't do battle like what is seen in history... they gather and fight like two football teams would... so most of the storage and normally needed gear for long hauls isn't necessary ...reason when i speak of the mods I do... is opposite of what you all do... I strip the tanks to its most basic form add the tools... and that's it... some tanks like the PANZER.. did have the spare tracks... but for some reason left off on the TIGERS ...
Unlike on the normal HISTORICAL adaptations... where you add to the tank to simulate realistic portrayal

So basically a tank that would be found straight off the "showroom" floor .....a tank that would be considered inoperable and eliminated from a match up .. would be designated by a white flag that would pop up


Oh... yeah... I definitely have to find out what's up with the macro setting... I remember glancing over it in the instruction booklet... but when I took the second set of pictures couldn't find it again... so I will probably check again before taking more pictures of ERWIN

Have a good one Dietrich... sorry for the long post... hope you don't regret asking those questions LOL
