Commander for sure, and now I have a problem. If we go with ususal Sensha Do laws, then I'd go for a T-44B (or T-44-100, depends on the source. Fucking prototypes).

But if armoured, fully enclosed, armed, WHEELED vehicles are allowed, I could be drawn to an AEC Armoured Car Mk. III, with the 75mm gun and medium tank level armour. Because wheeled AFVs are FUN.

Posted a long time a go about this a few times but, I actually have (had I guess now) two tanks me and friends would battle in.

Built smaller scale Panzer IV's, each with a crew of four. Shot at each other with impact detonated "shells". Basically ripped the GuP rules for fighting.

>>31810098
Go on...

>>31805229
I suppose we just need a radioman/assistant driver.

>>31810147
Well..I watched GuP and started to really read up on tanks. My friends watched it until we all were far down the rabbit hole. One day, someone asked why we couldn't have mock tank battles. This lead to an hour long conversation and meeting at the local McDs till we had created 2 "Panzer IV's Ausf. V" as we called them. Not 100% accurate cause we built them in our shops but pretty close actually.

Took them out to a desolate area and had our first battle. 5 front hits, 3 side/top hits, 1 rear hit to "destroy" a tank. Originally we had gopros and stuff inside, outside, and a recorder inside cause we planned to telease footage of battles to /k/ since we followed various threads during construction.

The outside ones ended up destroyed and after the "trouble" we got in we realized how fucked we could be if anything came back to us.

Is sensha-do mostly ww2 era tanks or can I chose some of the more modern ones?

I thought that sport was female only.

Also, that's some tol-tier bottom-tier weebshit my main man.

Anything designed during or before Works War II. I think there might have had to been a prototype too, unsure.

>>31811567
Prototypes are allowed, so any competitive team would just be Centurions, T-44 and some superheavies.

>>31811364
Anything that was produced or prototyped before V-E day are fine.
Paper designs have to be able to be built using period tech, and have to be approved on a case-by-case basis.

>>31811602
Hey, some people like college sports over the pros, you know?

>>31811602
I'd like to think that if anyone showed up with nothing but uber-late war prototypes and super heavies, the judges council or whatever would pretty much say "nice try, but no."

>>31811705
Well, I believe running out of fuel and breakdowns are DQs, so it might not be worth it.

>>31811705
>>31811898
Yeah, I'd assume that the rules would say that you can't make or use any improvements on the design that came after 1945 so rather untested prototypes would have problems that you can't fix.

If a tank league were to form, you'd need a ton of land, a fuck ton of licenses, a whole lot of money to support accurate tanks that will need matinane/fuel, plus quite a bit of saftey/legal work to cover crews.

Now, if you are talking we head out to Nevada and slug it out in backyard takes based on WW2 tanks..I'm in as long as we can keep it fairly anon.

Also, on the GuP wiki is all the official rules coving battles in the show. Actually pretty extensive and a good base if a /k/ tank league is forming.

I wonder if it was made into a real sport, would the shells be required to be sealed behind blast doors in the turret bustle? Even though there wouldn't be any intentional penetration, in the case of an accident the propellant powder is still real.
In this case, a blast compartment would need to be retrofitted into all those WW2 era tanks.

If a tank league were to be made, you should be allowed to make custom tanks for it. It would be too expensive to use WWII tanks only.
If we could buy used stuff like a used Argo and build a tank on top of it, it would be really affordable. We could probably raise the money for it on kickstarter and record the games for pay-per-view or something.

This actually could be done (and I believe must have been done) using RC tanks

You can give each crew member control over a set of systems and install cameras to see, and use paintball guns

>>31799741

Assuming that Sensha-do was a real sport, the rules would be dramatically different than those seen in Girls und Panzer. Obviously, the teams would be a standard size, so that both teams in a match would have equal numbers. Furthermore, there would be one standard stock tank that all teams would have to use.

The M4 would be the most likely candidate for a WWII-era sport-tank. Both it and the T-34 were reliable and (relatively) easy to maintain. However, the T-34 was not particularly ergonomic, and it's uncomfortable crew accommodations apparently limited its effectiveness as an engagement continued.

This is actually really good...

Fuck I know what I need to start watching

Like (pls no lynch) a large scale paintball or something.
Dude that would be awesome.

Does he get headpats?

PANZER VOR

>>31825078
A point buy system combined with timeframe could work. For example, something set in the fall of 1944 or the opening days of Barbarossa.

I just want my Hellcat. Vroom vroom

That's not a very nice thing to say about Anzio.

>>31828484
But it's the right and proper thing to say about Kuromi-whatever the fuck.
The German sluts.

>>31828524
That's fair.

>If sensha-dō were a real sport, would you play it? In what role and in what tank?
Could anyone here afford it in the first place? If I wanted to purchase a tank, I could pull out about 600K maple bucks out of my investment portfolio. Not sure how far that would get me, though.

It's not strictly an Ameriboo school, at least not tanks-wise. Kay just has a thing for Shermans.

>>31828593
Yeah, but Fireflies are awesome.

I would be the dude hawking overpriced merch outside the arenas.

Hmmm... tempting, but I'm more interested in WW2 tanks than anything modern. I also don't see the need in having multiple of the same vehicle.

You can buy all kinds of surplus tanks. The US dumped all that shit on their allies and National Guard units. Generally the barrels are deactivated, but you can still buy a tank.

Prices vary obviously depending on the condition. Getting one with a functioning cannon is rare and involves the ATF, but it's still possible.
