Girls und Panzer: Lafayette Girls Academy Quest 2: #37

> “Why not take a tour first? See LGA.”

“Why not take a tour first?” you ask. “We can have some lunch on the way, then you can see us practice. We don’t do our practice session for another couple of hours.”

Mei seems a bit disappointed at that. “I’m sorry but-“

“I would love that, as would rest of Kursk Girls, da?” says Rozaliya. “We are excited to see Academy of Lafayette Girls!” She bounces up and down, hoping that you’ll oblige her.

Mei huffs. “I suppose we can oblige that. Very well, take us on a tour.”

You smile a bit. “Come along.” You lead the two small groups out of the airport, and out to the WC Truck waiting for them. You sit up front with Denise, with Iris, Rozalia, Mei, and the rest of the girls sitting in back. “Denise, take us around LGA why don’t you, we’ll be giving them a tour.”

“Okay!” Denise smiles, driving gently out of the airport. These WC trucks aren’t really comfortable rides, but you gotta get that Dodge sponsorship somehow. The ZES Girls and the Kursk Girls sit across from each other, with Iris sitting awkwardly between them. “You girls doing okay back there?”

Mei grunts. “Fine.”

“Da!” says Rozaliya. She leans over. “Um, uh… what is name, Melody, right?”

“Elodie.”

“Da, Elouise,” says Rozaliya. “Tell me, what is LGA being like? This is first time on foreign schoolship!”

> 2000 Dollars: Armor Piercing Composite Rigid – For an increased chance at penetration when loaded into a tank. Only 5 of these rounds are allotted for a match.
> 2500 Dollars: Smoke Shell Ammo License – Unlike the smoke bombs that are fired from your turret to obscure sight, these smoke shells can be directly fired at targets to obscure their vision for a brief period of time.
> 3000 Dollars: White Phosphorus Shell Ammo License – Unlike the smoke shell ammo, white phosphorus ammo will not only obscure sight but also blind enemy tanks for a short period of time. These shells can also be used for area denial.

> TOTAL: 7500 Dollars

Normally I'm on the poilte side, but I think we should mention how proud we are of this school, it being more than she ever expected, work may be hard, but it's worth it.

Support thins.

BTW, shouldn't we get a Light for night time operations?

Or will we be okay with just WP flares and Rounds?

Spotlamps are generally the realm of second line or heavily armoured tanks that can weather the barrage of fire they will bring upon them. Iris for instance has a spotlamp, we should not have one. Between flares and moonlight we can make night operations work, and maybe in the future we can pick up the FG IR system for some shenanigans.

So something like a Tiger or the Swedish tank will benefit the most from it?

Churchill, Tiger II, IS-2 would all be decent carriers for it, and it wouldn't be terrible on the Strv either if only because we don't lose much firepower if we lose it.

“It’s great!” You love LGA. Quite plain and simple. To think you almost went to Christie because they had a university program and LGA didn’t. “The girls here are all so nice, our Tankery Program is one of the best in the country, and while the work I do is hard and quite abundant I’d dare say it’s all worthwhile.”

“Really? Rozaliya has stars in her eyes as she looks out to LGA. You introduce the groups to some of the landmarks like Mount Montagne, and its surrounding wilderness, Lake deGrasse and the park, the business district, the School Campus, and the statue of the Marquis de la Fayette himself. The ZES girls seem pretty disinterested, consulting their phones and each other while the Kursk Girls bask in awe of a foreign school.

Well, at least someone here has good taste.

Your stomach growls a bit. “Denise, take us to lunch, then we can head to the HQ, alright?”

“Alrighty!” she says. She propels the car forward to a drive-thru.

Mei looks over at you, in the midst of consulting her iPad which you do not fail to notice has details on a lot of High School tankers, Iris, Griselda, and even you included. And- are those stats? “Something the matter?”

“You don’t seem to be enjoying the tour,” you say.

“I am here to study how you fight and how you practice the sport. I am not interested in your schoolship.” Oh. Ouch. Well, fuck you too then. “I apologize if that seems rude, but I am not going to hide my disinterest behind a thin veneer of politeness.”

Iris huffs. “A lady knows how to pick her words carefully.”

Mei places her iPad back into her bag. “Regardless, we are here to learn.”

> “Well, you could stand to be a bit more polite.”
> “Fine then.”
> “Hey, I don’t go into your house and shit in your soup and call it beef.”

it feels like it will be good since it will make a good blinder at closer range.
