(Both of those are valid. Just keep in mind that all of these tanks have blueprints, it's just that none of the lore survived. Nobody knows how well the tanks did in combat.

Tank on tank combat, for the most part.)

(The hellcat could pen 8.8 cm of armor at 2km. I think you meant Greyhound.

Anyway, I'll make the actual selection semi-random so you have a chance of getting the vehicle you'd want.)

The Sheridan doesn't have a bigger gun and missiles. It has a wire guided missile gun. It also has aluminum armor. It's a support weapon system meant for easy helicopter transportation (hence the lighter, however also much much weaker aluminum armor). It can only carry a few shots (20 or so) in its body. But to be fair the firepower of one of the missiles outclasses the other tanks many times over.

The 105mm howitzer has a number of diverse shells, even a High Explosive Anti-Tank shell which in terms of penetration rivals even the Russian 85mm (maybe not with post-war ammunition). A High Explosive shell fired from any of the other tanks excluding the Sheridan would have far less effect than that of the 105, that pretty much goes for any other shell type except High Velocity Armor Piercing and regular solid shot AP.

The 105mm is not actually a support weapon system, it functions like an assault tank. The ASU is an assault gun that is only suitable for direct artillery support outside of tank destroying.


If we go with the Sheridan, M18 or ASU we HAVE to have a stealthy recon vehicle to detect the enemy before the engagement to make sure the tank destroyers are fighting in their best element which is ambush/long range.

City of Irrowskurn, 2200 Orbital Time, Day 140, 79 A.E.

Your team, a group of nine, consists of: Raioyris (Wunderkatze), Jeremy (NRDL), Mia (Moonlit), Gwydion (Xvareon), Jacob (Sosoku), Tray (HEN), Shirou, Trucy, and Ayn. A crow flies overhead, and comes to rest on the powerline that connects the red pavilion to the generator block at the edge of the fence.

Raioyris and Jeremy take off for the M8. [2+1] They fail to reach it in time, and it is instead crewed by a group of four girls led by Jane (formerly DigitalDemon).

Ray instead runs up the front slope of the HVSS 105mm M4 Sherman, and hops inside. [5+1]

[3] The Sheridan is claimed by four boys and girls from the Computer Club at High Heaven University.

[2] The Patton, the biggest of the tanks in the row, was claimed by a team of men led by Ricodon Varsillus, the president of the Irrowskurn VR Reenactment Organization.

[6] The Hellcat is available.

[2] The Comet was also claimed by a group of six college students.

[6] The ASU-57 and -85 are both lined up side by side, covered in mud. Nobody wanted them, and the -57 also happens to be filled with mud.

[1] The Wirbelwind's guns are currently lined up on top of its chassis, so it won't be too useful at the moment.

Choices left: 105 Sherman, M18 Hellcat, ASU-85. It's time to organize a crew for your vehicles. You need an absolute minimum of two people per vehicle, a driver and a gunner. It's possible to make do with three (Driver, Gunner, Loader/Commander), but four is ideal (Driver, Gunner, Loader, Commander) and there's enough room for five in both the Sherman and Hellcat, although only room for four in the ASU-85.

Raioyris walks over to the M18 and gives the hull a nice tap. "Sturdy enough for me," he smiles.


I choose the M18. Grab two shy kids for my crew. I plan to load/command. Try to recruit one of the girls from the M8 team, after all, they don't need an assistant driver.

Get in the ASU-85, preferably as the driver or gunner. Ask Trucy if she wants to join as well.

(5) You manage to struggle free of the guards and sprint to a safe distance before tossing a knife at one! (5 + 1 = 6) The throwing knife zips through the air, slitting a guard's throat! It then travels around the group of guards like a boomerang. It (5) Slits another throat, (Three 6's in a row!) decapitates three more (!), (4) slices open the last guard's arm, and (2) narrowly misses a random bystander. It then flies back into your hand. Holy crap.
