It was some easy to get fun flag from summer 2017

After slept night some ideas did come to mind, for which I'll say that we don't have Shenshado because we would lack the technology, but because we lack the resources(money/partners etc.) /will to actually implement it. In a sense Shenshadou is already practised with different militaries, like FDF uses the KASI simulator, developed by SAAB Training & Simulations. Basically laserbeams and receivers + computers that then calculate what happened and give feedback. That's a working solution, but sadly lacks the joy of actually firing the main gun. I think the KASI for rifles actually requires to shoot blanks to operate, but don't know how it actually works for tanks, aside from the fact that for tanks the laser equipment covers the muzzle, and thus making it nigh impossible to fire anything: Maybe for these tanks built specifically for Shenshado(see below) the barrel could be f.ex divided into two compartments so that the lasersystem would be in front, then there would be a cut (for the firing gasses to escape) somewhere at the rear of the barrel so that it'd be possible to fire the blanks. Dunno, but basically we already have the technology needed for Shenshado, only missing the option for loader to really operate the gun on his part and for the crew to feel the gun go live. Personally I'd build 1:1 replicas of WW2 tanks, with some compromises. Building method wouldn't need to be exactly same (like rivets can be replaced with welding), the tank just has to look mostly like the original and that's what matters. Same goes for engines; just needs to be around the same size and power output. Armor thickness doesn't matter either on these replicas if we use simulator like mentioned above, as the computer just simulates the armor and determinates what kind of damage the hit did. Though if we don't really armor the tanks, then their weight will be less and thus we'd actually need to use engines with less power to achieve the historical power/weight ratios. Lack of true armor would drive the costs down as well, though it wouldn't still be anything cheap to pretty much custom build small series of vehicles. Though if the Shenshado would be sold worldwide for many operators/customers, how ever you call them, thus increasing the sold tanks which in return would again lower the cost of a single unit by market principles... This planning could go on and on for all the different details, but I'll spare it now. The laser based system would also eradicate the small chance of your head getting hurt by some (un)lucky shell Overall it's not about technology, but about willpower to make it true. Though willpower alone isn't enough, you still need the resources to do it. If some rich/influential person really would want Shenshado to become a thing, it could happen.

Finally watched the GuP das Finale ep 1. Beginning was a bit weird with that "underground" stuff, but then it did show to be true descendant of GuP universe. Humor, esp. when referring to things that happened in past brought a wide smile and laughter. While I don't play WoT anymore, I still rate GuP higher than any of the "ship equivalents". A fun show with nice tank animation and great OST/music overall. Some quick picks from the OST; Could just list all instead ^^ Oh boy if Sensha-do could be real

When I started to play was young... In my childhood... Stories only for the selected few

Decided to grab my "free" ranked loot (went R1 last season, so started at R13) by taking the first ranked match this season on the last possible day. Tjaa, what to say more. Just went for some relaxed Yamato play, not really planning much.

Got Acasta and Icarus yesterday from the free boxes. Now only missing Lightning.

As we all can see, it doesn't. Raiders of the Lost Cap in theaters now. Tickets are free, but you may lose some brain cells while watching. Viewer discretion is advised.

Missed the 200 years celebration, oh well. Anyways

Both most and current is 284, on very slow climb.

Divisioning, the elixir of life in this game.

At least did set new personal record on potential damage. Every f*cking game steamrolled into direction or another, a true patch weekend. That's it.

Met @rnat in his Hindenburg. Was nice to meet

For the first time got to use the benefits from Halsey Confederate; add AR for ~20s reload Again, the game felt like lost, but then we flipped it around.

As always, bought 5 containers, got Jervis.

Thou shall not reverse. MO multiplier abuse, wait I have heard that before.. Then this game, start favoured us, we got the initiative to win by holding two caps, while ships being equal. Then suddenly it turned to this: Already thought I'd lose the last battle I decided to take. Nope. Queen won't accept such thing. Got now my Kraken #100, set new personal damage(which is oddly low, taking into account I perform quite well in her)/pot.dmg records for Nelson. Overall played a bit differently, by communicating via chat and quick commands. Gladly they mostly understood the messages, and thus we won. I was a bit lucky though, as the KGV only used AP against me. With HE I'd likely have died and we'd lost the whole match. Well, RNG giveth, RNG taketh.

Abusing the multipliers. This battle reminded me of the late 15/early 16 Shimakaze torpedosoup, esp as most enemy Shimas used 20km torps.

Yes, Hindy + Roon reload was nerfed from 10 to 11s.

Here we go again. Previous part:

Meanwhile at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Nagasaki shipyard, preparations were almost complete for launching the second ship of Yamato-class, Musashi.

Division derping, trying to understand our DD edition. Sadly the broadside Iowa didn't want to eat any citadels before taking a volley of torps. Some multiplier stacking and nervecracking with MO:

I got my Special signals after 1st battle, there was a slight delay. Dunno about the extra 10 Anniversary camos, didn't pay much attention.
