Are they trying NOT to hit us? i mean really,just blast them to bits casually staying still because that way we can hit the broad side of a barn unlike them.
>Yolklan Tank Team: We're not surrendering to these meats! Resume normal attack pattern!
>Yolklan Tank Team: Are you nuts?! Head-on? These tanks are still ex-
>Yolklan Tank Team: THE UNION WILL NOT LOSE TO THESE LESSERS! ATTACK NOW!The Yolklan tanks press forward in a last-ditch attempt to take the village. Their numbers have been whittled down to less threatening levels, and they're likely experiencing a dent in morale since their HEs weren't too effective in artillery mode. Perhaps these are experimental tanks that haven't yet shown the true power of Yolklan military science. You wonder what exactly they have in store for you in the future.
>Allied Tank: Engaging enemy armour!
>Jenkins: Yaaahoo! Like shooting fish in a barrel. This feel less like a war and more like a light gun game. These sunnysides made it too easy for us. Do we even need our BK rounds? Command, can we test how much these guys suck and load normal rounds?
>Field Command HQ: No.Your brothers are building upon their already-high morale due to the Yolklan tanks not hitting many of their marks. They did cause damage still, make no mistake. A few houses and buildings were lost, but at least you can tell that boots are still filled (with all body parts attached). The enemy tanks are being blasted one by one, not even making it to the crest of the hill and into the village. Why the left the village is anyone's guess.
You wouldn't know this, but Central is facepalming right now. What a blunder. Experimental tanks taking on the tank-focused faction head on, whilst moving, against an entrenched and concealed enemy. The biggest military fail you can conceptualise right now.
>Central: All tanks...retreat.
>Yolklan Tank Team: Like hell. We can-
>Central: Goddamnit, RETREAT! This is an order, not a request.
>Yolklan Tank Team: Right.The shiny tanks stop, and moments later, turn around and leave. No more boom, no more damage, no more...anything. They just stop and leave.
>Jenkins: Look at those worms! Damn right they ran away.
>Parham: Aw. I wanted to see more 'splosions.
>Jenkins: Shut up, ya big lug. We have more boom-boom waitin' for 'em! Ya hear that, you sunnysides? Don't fuck with us!You lean back in your commander's chair and let out a sigh that felt like you were holding it in since the fighting started. You zone out for a bit, letting victory sink in. You hardly notice Jenkins hamming it up by sticking his big-ass head out of the entrance hatch, screaming at the tanks who are now on the horizon. Only able to be seen from their lights.
>Jenkins: That's right you sons of bitches! Ain't no mountain high enough, ain't no valley low enough, and ain't no gun big enough to stop the Reds from kicking your half-fried, incomplete, non-nutritious, starchy asses! Make like a yolk and run away, you pansies! Not even fit for war! My grandpatty can fight a war better than you! Hell, her mustache can fight better than you! Even her-
>Allied Tank: JENKINS! They get it, we get it, the WORLD gets it! Christ on a kaiser, will you shut the hell up!?Jenkins, this time, grabs the Warmaster's loudspeaking device and begins to bellow more insults towards the Yolks...who aren't even in sight at this point. A soft smile grows on your face. You can't help but laugh. You made it another day. Another day of fighting, of loss. But that's war. You don't give it much thought. You're fighting for your country, your family, and the men wearing the same uniform that you wear. Even Jenkins, who is still ranting. All other tanks have silenced traffic from yours at this point, but can still hear his squawking from the speakerbox.
>You: Let's head back to Command. Time to get these babies fixed up and I need a shower.
>Field Command HQ: Nice work, boys. You've shown the Yolks that we're still in this war and that we still run the show when it comes to armour. Get some rest. You've earned it. Command, out.All combat is over. All combat is over! It was pretty stupid of the Yolklan to take you head-on without line-ready tanks. They were experimental. TOO experimental. They didn't have the ability to deal with your Warmasters. They decided to leave and bring back some of their tanks, as you fragged most of them and they need as many of those tanks as they can for live field test data. You're free to post bullshit suggestions/interact in this character perspective, but there will be no further combat for now from the perspective of Ironshell. Thanks for showing up, putting up with my shitty writing (and silliness), and letting me show Bay12 what I have to offer. But am I done? HELL NO! I'm introducing other player character perspectives. Just to switch it up and keep it fresh. I'm not too well versed in tank stuff. Infantry is more my thing, and we have other routes to take. Special forces, urban warfare, even interrogation and propaganda! This world is a bit fleshed out and I want to bring as much aspects into it as I can. So, that having been said, I hope you stick around for the next update, where the character will be brand spanking new. If not, it was fun to have you along for the ride and I hope you show up again in the future! Thanks, heaps.
