HOLLLYY SHIITT!! What it feels like an eternity, Girls und Panzer is BACK WITH ANOTHER EPISODE! (Now we will gonna wait for the next part for only god knows how long ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ )

That Lantern Fish tactic is such a 5D chess move. Sacrificing the Queen in order to checkmate the opponent's king. Erika has finally unlocked the "Blitzkrieg" tactic, I guess she will be the "Dessert Fox" or "Dessert Cat" of the Black Forrest school. I'm really glad that the continuation have received more members in their club, probably a lot of students wanted to join them after witnessing their performance in the battle against the University Team along side Oorai, Chihatan, Black Forrest, Anzio, Pravda, St. Gloriana, and Saunders. and HOLY SHIIITTT! Their hit and run tactic is much more nerve wracking. The tanks hiding as a snowman and THE MOTHER FUCKING "WHITE DEATH" or should I say... THE "WHITE WITCH" IS SO FUCKING BADASS LIKE HOLY SHIIITTT! We got not only their commander who is an ace on her own that fights like a fucking knight and take down 10 or more tanks before going down but also the "White Witch" that is sniping down on the enemy tanks like a predator catching their prey and way more impressive than the Firefly from Saunders. These two is a formidable duo.

The question is: what tank is it that the white whitch is using... maybe an AT rifle, the finnish were pretty large users of them.

A theory I found suggests the stug 3, the interior appears to be the same as hippo team additionally it is one of the few tanks that Finland has with a longer barrel so id be good for shooting longer distances being an assault gun.

StuG III 40 Ausf. G this one right?

Or the F/8 variant
Edit: F/8 7.5 cm canon could defeat 96 mm of angled armor at 500 m, and 85 mm at 1000 m (30° slope)

The Finnish used a variety of tanks, notably during WWII they acquired numerous vehicles from Germany and Russia such as the StuG III "Sturmi", T series such as T-34, T-50 "Pikku-Sotka", KB and SU/ISU variants etc...

My thoughts for what the White Witch is using are on either the StuG III "Sturmi" (59 were delivered to Finland between 1943-1944 and used in the continuation war) or the late 1944 Panzer IV Ausf.J with the long KwK 43 75mm (15 of which were delivered to Finland).

White witch could be referring to Simo Häyhä, a Finnish sniper who was known as the white death.

Take this with a grain of salt however as they could pull an Ōarai and borrow allies for the team as we haven't seen them in the fight thus far unless they were on leave?

Personally If there's any tanks I want the creators to introduce.. it would be my favourite - the Krupp-Steyr Waffenträger (although never saw combat, it was designed to use the KwK 43 88mm)

https://i.redd.it/g7b80yb6l...

It could be a Stug III and judging by their force they seem to be the finland faction having BT-42 and T-26

Good question. Maybe I'll do a little research. It's best to guess they've used a tank either from Soviet class tanks or German class tanks cause Finnish Army in WW2, their equipments are a mix of Soviet and German. I'll just let you know 👍

Im 80% sure "White Witch" uses Stug.
T-34-85 is too unaccurate to be an sniper.

Probably but it's anime so everything is plausible. I guess we'll just have to wait and see for god knows how long before the next part

Or maybe STRV

if so, what german or soviet tank had a pretty good gun, a low silhouette, and some good optics. I believe we could be looking ISU or jagdpz. 4. At least I highly think that we are looking at a tank-destroyer...

I'm thinking of an anti-tank destroyer of some sort.

The ISU and Jagdpz is plausible, especially that the tank Totally outmatched the Sherman Firefly during their match against Saunders but, I think it's safe to say that the budget of Continuation school is still smaller compare to Oorai, especially that they just now have somewhat a number of members for a standard Tank club and they have to buy tanks for the new members so I doubt they will still have a budget for the ISU or the Jagdpz. The only tank that can rival or even outmatched firefly that they can get their hands on is T-34/85

Okay, so I did a little research and based on what I've read, I suspected that the tank that "White Witch" use is T-34/85 which is a Soviet tank that was produced in response of German's panther tank. And the Finnish Army managed to steal some few T-34/85 tank near at the end of winter war.

This makes me wanna play WoT again Dx

Lol, same

So the White Death have joined the match

YOUR IN THE SNIPER'S SIGHT
FIRST KILL TONIGHT
TIME TO DIE!!!!

that engine deck is utterly fucked, absolutely fubar, completely totaled. you aint fixing that, a whole new engine's gotta be reinstalled to the panzer 4 now.

oh sh!t. now what.
btw, eating pizza with chopsticks? a real woman of culture.

don't forget about Pepperoni grating cheese on her rice ball lmao

Simo Häyhä (White Death) entering as White witch!?

Holy shit, Now I'm curious on what's his female equivalent is.

She may be my new waifu after they release it.

Damn, I've been waiting for the translated release for a year now as watching it in RAW has its difficulty given my poor understanding of the JP language so I'm glad that it came. What a great start for the year of 2022.
lewls. Chiyomi sure knows how to badmouth the British.
Rosehip sure is the Queen of Speed and baiting. She really learnt from her mistake in the previous match against Selection.
A great film like always and it ended with a thrilling cliffhanger to boot. I wonder how will they win now that Panzer IV has been shot down. I think that the next part would be Momo's time to shine as her real skill as a commander would finally appear.
My prediction for the finals is that it would be Ooarai vs. STGGA as Darjeeling is the bane of Miho since their first match. Miho has never won against Darjeeling like how the latter has never won against Maho.

That's possible, but I suspect that there will be more of an emotional payoff if Erika's Kuroromine ends up beating Darjeeling (with Dar acknowledging that Erika has become Maho's equal) so that Miho and Erika can finally settle their rivalry in the finals, with Maho watching from the stands.

I highly believe the animators are war thunder players...

Actually the show was made with help from Nicholas Moran, a historian with the World of Tanks dev team.

even worse

What was the purpose of him being there if most of the battle scenes are unrealistic?

The tank models, machine guns and some of the tactics used didn't come out of a vacuum - they were researched by the writers and referenced heavily in the show. Nicholas Moran acted as consultant to facilitate that process.

Ahh now i understand thanks for the clarification

This makes me wanna play WoT again Dx

Well, well, well... how the turn tables....

The entire Part 4 is probably devoted to the Ooarai VS Jatkosota. It deserves it.

Bummer having to face the Finns in winter!

Like the Borg, the other teams seem to be adapting, and learning to take out Anglerfish even if they're not the flag tank, to remove Miho.from the match.

Who wants to bet the final match will be Oorai (of course) vs. St. Gloriana, to see who wins in an OFFICIAL match?

YES! Finally OUR dearest tank, the mighty KV-2 actually took out a tank! URA!

Russian bias as its finest

Oorai now have to win the match without Anglerfish's help. Part 4 is Oorai's real challenge and Momo's test of being the head commander. Not only they have to win without Miho, they have to deal with the White Witch. The Shark team will play a key role against Jatkosota.

Supposed you has been rewatched GuP anime series, or at least its manga + spin-offs enough to assume the situation. Ooarai strategic that likely become doctrine foundation starts at anime chapter Vs St.Gloriana.

Miho role pretty much was Sensha-do instructor, second below the teacher from JGSDF. Search & Repaired all the survived tanks, learning individual talents & assigned themselves for the vehicles the team members gets.

Battle 2; Vs Saunders. The team remains march in group, when under fired they scattered but keep on an contact by phone messages or radio communication, but didn’t leaves suspicious move opponent team find out, so the same they did. With more advanced way by establishing flag tank as mobile command center, they won Saunders by mislead the radio communication infiltrating & lures out the main force away the flag tank.

Battle 4 Vs Pravda; The same strategy they learned from Saunders, but a little problem due to the opponent has superior firepower, suppression & then encirclement the garriaoned building. They won by recruit some tanks pilot as scout team to search the flag tank, then charge through the encircle line pierced to the target while voluntary sacrifice few tanks

Battle 6; Vs All-Star team was the hardest, these college girls were massively more experienced than high school alliance team, may be they had been registered for 5 years country matches. Win condition; Elimination, so the tactics like hit & searched mobile center won’t work

Miho thinks up such a newly strategy that only battalion commander would experienced, high school alliance team didn’t establish mobile headquarters but split into 3 mobile command centers instead. Relies on team captains do a real-time meeting against opponent tank company, the mid-match proved the college team has superior firepower & armor, so they chose guerrilla tactics.

Finally, revealed the opponent did had central command center. They won with match between Most Valuable Player match, a heroic victory. To be summary; Ooarai strategy has been developed into nueron. Learn, fight together with almost invulnerable intelligence line by radio communication.

They won’t went down easily just because losing some major firepower ( Pz.IV ausf H is one of the most powerful tank gun in the team possession) like centipede or insects, losing some organs or head won’t kill them easily

AND FINNISH SNIPERS JOIN THE FIGHT!
White "Witch"! I know they mean White death but may power of perkele be with then
AND SO YOU KNOW WE WILL MEAT AT TORI JOS TÄÄLLÄ SUOMALAISIA ON!

INTO THE NIGHT, A FLASH IN THE DARKNESS
WHITE DEATH IS HEADING YOUR WAY
THE FEAR OF HIS FOES, A HERO AT HOME
HUNDREDS WILL FALL BY HIS GUN

Man that shot-trap kill on the mouse got me all giddy, loved it getting called out post-fact as well.

It's a rough day to be an Anglerfish.

The whole ep got me on the edge of my seat. Kudos to the animators and writers.
Miho vs Mika is my dream match, and they share a similar style of fighting too; elusive and tricky.

Really this is only two standard episodes and it took them 3 years or so ? Wtf

Part 1 - 2017
Part 2 - 2019
Part 3 - 2021

Part 4 - 2023? Well, at least I can watch the final part with my kid in the far future. :)

Part 6 is literally gonna be in like 5 years bruh

And I think it's gonna be a long long time

(let's hope not, cause it was too short)

maybe because they dont have that many employees. This studio also dont have other anime project other than girls und panzer

I might be dead before they get done dragging what amounts to a single anime season out over years

Lmao I just realized, one Matilda got behind Anzio's flag tank, hence why they took it out even with the shield
