The first Panther was a smoking wreck,
Now, they just had to contend with the seven others that were bearing down on them.
*boom!
A 75mm shell moved right past Yukari's head,
"Reverse!" She yelled out
The Sherman backed up,
Another 75mm shell rang out,
Once again, barely missing the side of the turret,
One of the Panthers drove over a hill,
The sloped front armor was at a flat angle,
Yukari seized the opportunity,
"Turn the turret right!" She said
*brrrrrrrrrm
*Clunk!
"Fire!" She yelled once the gun was on
*Boom!
The shell made it through the armor's flat angle.
A large explosion
And then a white flag popped out of it too.
"Yes!" Yukari cheered out at her own success.
*BZZZZZOOOOOM
*CLANK
a 75mm shell zoomed in at fast speed and clanked off of the turret mantlet.
"Get us out of here!" She then said, the sudden impact yanking her out of the moment.
———————
The Bermuda trio watched on, in complete intrigue.
This tanker was extremely talented, to say the least.
————————
The Sherman then ran away as fast as it could, Emilia throwing the sticks back and forth as fast as she could move her hands.
The Sherman bucked from side to side,
Yukari kept only her head and fluffy hairdo sticking out of the hatch, radioing orders via the intercom.
The turret was traversed backwards,
*Bang!
The main gun fired.
It tore up another Panther's running gear, the interleaved roadwheels flying in all directions.
A white flag popped out of that one too.
But just then,
*CRUNCH
an ear piercing explosion,
A white flag popped out of the Sherman,
The killer revealed itself,
A Jagdpanther tank destroyer.
Yukari huffed as the order went out to stop the fight.

Back at Ōarai, the day was not eventful,
With more training and more training.
The other transfer student teams should hopefully be over at any moment.
Any backup would be nice, considering that right now, they're fighting at least 1/4 odds.
Carm had gathered flyers regarding the All-Stars University,
The tanks showcased were something to be alarmed about for sure,
M26 Pershing Heavy tanks,
Initially they were called Medium tanks when they were built to replace the Sherman in World War II, but they entered service too late to see much action,
They had 90mm main guns, and sloped 100mm front armor,
They were at very least, as good as a Tiger I. And so hopefully they didn't have swarms of them,
But the All-Stars team was completely and totally pampered by the Sensha-dō committee.
Meaning they had all of the funding Ōarai could dream of.
While he was deep in thought, an Engine noise yanked him out.
The tank that it was coming from was moving fast,
Carm peeked out of the tank garage to see what it was.
A white painted tank zoomed around he corner.
It was... a... BT-42?
As in a BT-7 equipped with a World War I era British 114mm howitzer in a modified turret.
Like the one that was added in War Thunder.
The Commander was riding on the roof of the tank, playing a stringed instrument,
The tank stopped,
Carm waved his hand at the tank,
"Welcome to Ōarai!" Carm yelled over the engine noise.
The grey haired female commander responded,
"I give my greetings to you." She said, quietly
"What brings you here?" Carm said, not knowing if she was brought by Miho's texts or not.
The markings were completely different then the school markings he'd ever seen before.
"The wind" was all the grey haired one said
"We're from Jatkosota! Nice to meet you!" A small white haired girl said.
So that's what Jatkosota is.
"Yeah, nice to meet you too, but what tank is this? Oh wait, it's a BT-42." Carm said
"Yep!" The brown haired driver said.
"Just like the one in War Thunder." Carm said
"Thunder? I don't see any inclement weather?" The gray haired one said.
"No, it's a videogame, want me to show you what it is?" Carm said
"Do you have any food?" The brown haired one said.
Uh,
"I mean, I have a few candy bars but..." Carm started
"Then I'm in!" The brown haired one said
"What is a video- game? I can't say I've heard of one before." The grey haired one said
"Mind if I show you?" He said
