The first year students get that tank. It's a bit of a joke, because it's a terrible tank and they're a terrible tank crew, but they stick it out and get better and end up becoming a real asset on the battlefield.

No, it's a high school sport. In the universe of the show recreational tank combat is one of the traditional Japanese feminine pastimes along with archery, tea ceremony, and flower arranging.

it's a bizarre far future setting where people live on ridiculously upscaled recreations of aircraft carriers that are essentially mobile islands and tank combat is so safe that it is completely divorced from warfare.

One of the OVAs explains that it was discovered that students learn better if their schools are on aircraft carriers. So all schools are now on aircraft carriers

i think it's a post-scarcity world. also everyone likes having tank matches in their towns because a tank wrecking your house is a good omen, also the govt will build you a new house

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.



they had a war train in the film and it got owned so checkmate trainies

A silly little mouse!
To be fair to the M3 it was kinda bad “on purpose“. From what I remember they were designing the Sherman and were still working out the kinks with the turret and main gun, since America had spent the interwar period ignoring tanks and had to learn how to fit a 75 m gun on a turret. But lend lease needed a tank with a 75 gun to send to the British and Soviets immediately. So they took the Shermans general innards, slapped some armor on it, and stuck the 75 gun on the hull. So the tank was never really intended to be adopted as the mainline model, and the tanks main usage was by lend lease recipients, who got Sherman’s to replace them once it was finished in 42.

the M3 ended up being sent to theaters that were really low on the priorities list, like in Burma, where it did a lot of jungle fighting. When it came to fighting the Japanese it did just fine.
