During the loadout thread yesterday I saw a picture of what was basically a humanoid Panzer (complete with a pintle mounted machine gun in the torso) surrounded by modified german field artillery such as 88mm Flak and 75mm Pak Guns meant for handheld use, didn't stick around to find out what the series was called so can anyone be of help?
>pic somewhat related.

Not anime but there is something you might check out
http://www.dp9.com/gearkrieg
Really struggling based on the information you've given.
Anime wise the closest I've found is "little girls as tanks" based stuff..
Outside of anime well there is a lot of weird world war stuff out there and even my google fu is failing me.
The closest I came was:

>>14610582
>>14610530
>>14610408
I might be remembering wrong but I think there's also a video game based on that concept.
>>14610408
Why don't you post the picture? That thread should still be in the catalogue or archive.
Well I remembered C.O.D.E GUARDIAN by Marco Spitoni.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQ-UP2zieSI
It's mostly the "machinegun in the torso" detail I'm using to search through designs.
tetsujin 28 2004 is post-ww2
>>14610589
There are a few with elements like that yeah.
Wolfenstein The New Order is probably the most recent that has had a lot of Nazi robots and mechs.
Literally searching through 76 years of Nazi Robots.
It's not just a Tieren is it?

WW2 mech thread?
>>14610722

fucking hack artist.
>>14610644

>>14610730
Yep he is awful.

Wait no that other "a" word...
>>14610765
AWESOME!
>>14610761
>>14610765
>>14610767
this is completely uninspired bullshit
yeah, he's got decent technical skills, can obviously render competently, but when its used to create the same glowing red eye nazis with stalhelms and commie olive drab boxes on legs with cyrillic letters, it is boring shite.
I'm not sure about anime, but there's Ring of Red on the PS2, if you want an alternate WW2 mecha game.
I suppose Valkyria Chronicles fits the alternate WW2 bill as well, even though it has no mechs.
>>14610408
I learnt all sorts of stuff in VCE history.
How did Lenin afford that Marauder though?
>>14610589
Ring of Red, yes. Weak story, but fun mechanics.
>>14610779
At least these red eyed nazis are actually in the correct time period.
I mean honestly how unoriginal is it to give your evil near future police force nazi helmets, and masks made of elements of 3 different nazi gasmasks.
>>14610408
Operation Dragonslayer
>>14610408
Kishin Corps? That was WWII with robots and ayyylmaos but managed to be mostly forgettable.
>>14611201
Hahaha, >>14610582 was me linking to that guys deviantart and now I click it the first thing I see is that picture sitting in plain view but I missed it cause everything looked so small in the thumbnail.

In a few pages, there's a 1-page sex scene. Like, you get two panels with a breast exposed, and then everything else is hidden/implied. Should I skip that page? Or do you think it'll be okay?
>>14612727
>>14612727
Breast? This isn't NSFW.
>>14612727

Alright, that wraps up Episode 1 of The Iron Divisions. Sadly, I lack the other two.
Gonna dig through my folder and see if I have any more WWII mechs. If not, I might post some Luft '46/Weird War 2 stuff.
>>14612860
thank's for posting anon
>>14612860
>>14612863
>>14612862
No problem. As I said earlier, this is kind of my thing, haha.
>>14612878
>>14612885
Okay, I think that was about the last of it. If I find any more mechs, I'll post them. But in the meantime, enjoy some Space Battleship Bismarck.
>>14612926
>>14612934
Oh, hey. Found one more.
>>14612945
The VTs in Steel Armor were pretty WW2 in design...
>>14612969
Last post for the night. Work early tomorrow. If this thread is still here when I get home, I'll pick up where I left off.
Probably focus on Luft '46.
>>14610582
That's what I was looking for anon. Ironically I found it last night, rendering this thread redundant.
Oh well now we have a WW2 mecha thread.
>>14612233
I've been wanting to recreate that as a scale model. What do you think I should use for the bottom half?
>>14610408
I haven't seen it, but if Muv Luv can turn the A-10 into a Giant Robot: the WW2 fighter planes and tanks are on the table as well.
>>14612986
That looks incredibly forward-heavy
As if the model maker forgot to put on the front set of legs
>>14612986
And we're back, folks. Let me see what's left to dredge up.
Another VT from Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor.
>>14615248
>>14611549
Why
>>14615285
>>14615312
Why not? More WW2 anime is always nice. We'll be seeing the battlefield a lot judging by the PVs.
Animation seems decent as well.
>>14615329
>>14615345
>>14615339
>>14615335
I dunno, stuff like this always seemed somehow...disrespectful. I suppose it's all in the execution, though.
>>14615369
>disrespectful
It looks like a tamer version of Valkyria Chronicles. What's your opinion on Strike Witches then?
>>14615374
>>14615380
Valkyria Chronicles gets away with it by being a WWII analogue as opposed to be actually set in WWII. Though since I hadn't heard of whatever this is before this thread, I may be making a mistaken assumption as to its setting.
I never saw any Strike Witches stuff.
Like I said, it's all in the execution. But you've gotta admit that something like this at least has the potential to be disrespectful if mishandled. Especially if it trivializes the suffering of the soldiers who fought in the war in favor of teenage magical girl angst.
Again, not saying that this does. I know pretty much nothing about it. But the potential is still there.
>>14615393
>>14615414
>>14615406
It's an alternate reality/history so they can gloss over it, see pic related.
Also while the first VC is okay, VC2 and VC3 went full retard with school kids and animu teen drama.
>>14615442
Well, I only ever played the first VC, anyway. For exactly those reasons.
>>14615442
I've got a bunch of the tanks and stuff from VC. Do you want me to post those?
>>14615446
Sure, the designs of the first game were great. Especially the uniforms.
>>14615445
Yeah everyone is shitting on the PSP games. Maybe Azure Revolution will be better.

Like this dude says >>14615509, VC3 if anything is "edgy" you're all convicts and "unwanted" soldiers being sent to die on suicide missions during the time of the first game like the Militia.

>>14611264
It's only old folks like us that even remember Kishin Corps. Wasn't it based on a series of light novels? Always wanted to know if there was more substance in them than in the OVA.
For example, the aliens always appear out of the sky, except at Peenemunde, where they appear out of the ground. Now this actually made me think of one cosmological theory that the nazis held: that of the Hollow Earth, or rather that the world was the inner side of a hollow world.
>>14615847
>>14611264

I remember when I watched it on the International Channel. I thought it was alright.

>>14617523
How would it have compensated for the rotational torque of the wing? Seems more like a vomit-inducing fairground ride than a weapon of war.
Even if that was figured out, it seems like it'd be pretty terrible at level flight, since in that orientation it wouldn't have much in the way of lifting surfaces.
>>14619180
Supposedly since the wings were self-powered by the jets at the end, it wouldn't have any counterforce against the fuselage
>Even if that was figured out, it seems like it'd be pretty terrible at level flight, since in that orientation it wouldn't have much in the way of lifting surfaces.
That's what I want to know. But the design made it to wind tunnel testing before the facility was captured by allied forces so it must have shown some kind of promise

In the Africa theater of operations during WWI Germans fought alongside the Askari tribe of African natives.

They are in the European maps in BF1

Anon they're literally wearing German uniforms in the game.
>>14619303
>>14619318
Germany was a colonial power. They had actual Africans serving in their armed forces. At the Western Front even.
And yeah, their colonial forces were white officers plus black troops.
>>14619297
>literally who black american squadron is the focus
The Harlem Hellfighters were actually pretty famous back in the day. Henry Johnson won the Medal of Honor by pulling some Doomguy-level moves in the Argonne Forest:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Johnson_(World_War_I_soldier)
>On watch in the Argonne Forest on May 14, 1918, he fought off a German raid in hand-to-hand combat, killing multiple German soldiers and rescuing a fellow soldier while experiencing 21 wounds, in an action that was brought to the nation's attention by coverage in the New York World and the Saturday Evening Post later that year.
>>14618690
Great. Now I'm gonna have to skip a second Battlefield in a row. Fucking hell, EA.
>>14615369
Don't read it, then. There's plenty of other material out there which tells the story of life in the trenches and this stuff doesn't pretend to be the real deal.
>>14611549
anime was a mistake
>>14617794
Nah I can see what he means, they're potentially using a war where millions of people died just for more marketability.
>>14620614
>they're potentially using a war where millions of people died just for more marketability
who fucking cares?
everyone does this.
>>14620614
I mean, if you're an old ass soldier suffering from PTSD I guess you'd be upset about it but those people are long gone and nobody cares anymore. Nazis are used as cartoon villains these days. Hell people are making games about Fallujah to market it to Americans more easily.
If you can have a red skull guy lead the Nazis in a major Hollywood blockbuster you can easily have a cartoon about a random German witch in the same setting.
