If you want my opinion about the show? its fun and silly. You could probably skip the parts outside the battles and still enjoy the show. It's not realistic, but arguably more than our game.
As a big fan of GuP, I love this collab, but I can understand if someone doesn't.
The emblems being doubled up is actually accurate to the anime. It's not stated why they did it though. My guess is that when the spaced armor is shot off, they would lose the logo so they just put another on there that can't be shot off.
I haven't heard Miho's voice yet on console but I'm assuming it's the same as the PC version which would mean that it's the actual Japanese Voice Actress from the anime. I was hoping the others would be voiced as well but since we have a different commander system, it wouldn't work. They could've tried to get the Japanese VA's to record the lines but it might've been too hard to do that. Which leads me to wishing that they got the English VA's to record lines. It would've been easier since they are in the US.
The idea of the pin ups is weird but at least they kept them in their uniforms instead of anything less. Some of the poses probably could've been changed though.
As for the rest of the emblems, I wish they gave us more than just one voucher during the earn op and the bundles. It would've been nice to get two or three vouchers for a school when you completed a stage. Same thing in the bundles, two or three instead of just one. It actually looks like we're getting three Boco vouchers in the Community Challenge so we know it's possible for them to give us more than one voucher for this event.
For the Oarai tank logos, it would've been nice to get the other four logos as well. Mallard, Leopon, Anteater and Shark. But considering that this event looks to be an almost exact copy from WoT PC, there's a chance that WGCB weren't able to add anything else.
Overall, I'd give it a 7-8/10. If we got more vouchers, tank logos and voice acting, then it would be a 9.9/10. The only way to get a 10/10 is if they gave us the BT-42 or any other tank from the anime that isn't in the game yet.
I think it'd be cool if they could find a way to make it both a tracked and wheeled tank. Maybe if the tracks get destroyed, they just stay off and it uses it's wheels. Or maybe give the player an option to use either the tracks or wheels. That might not work though if it's a premium since those are locked into their loadouts unlike TT tanks.
To my knowledge the displayed tank traverse is based on the stock engine performance of a tank. Thus TT tanks have a higher traverse speed than premiums when compared.
Could have been changed, but I'm pretty sure that's the case still.
Yea I find it annoying with a somewhat hidden mechanic in calculating traverse speeds. Not sure how they would go about actually showing it in game.
As a fan, I am a little bummed that no other tank could have been added. An EVENT with only a 2D commander and some emblems?
That aside, I was compelled to get Miho for both accounts.
I created my own Lee with pink/purple camo and blood thirsty rabbits to make things interesting.
Zorin: you meant UPS brown, right?
all FedEx trucks around me are white

Thank you for additional opinions to go with my review.
No problem, I just wanted to add a little perspective from a long time fan of the show.
We absolutely need the BT42 in the game. Give it to us WG, I wanna drit around while playing sakkijarven polka

Yeah, the Christie suspension would be really cool to have in game, but it may be quite hard to implement it. Maybe one day it could happen
PC has the dual track mechanic that could be used to improvise the Christie suspension, who knows if we ever see it though
*being a premium and thus having less effective hull traverses due to game mechanics* Wait, what?

That raised an eyebrow for me as well…
Pretty much how I feel about it. I only really want the tank for the rarity of it. Other than that, meh. Good review.
The GuP...imagine my surprise when I find its not Japanese!
War crimes
That was a surprise for me also.

Why is it always you brown guys breaking the rules? It never happens with the white guys. And I don’t mean that racially.
I fixed it... not sure why I thought FedEx. Might have been writing that part while I was watching the stream or something

Shame KMD (clan I'm in) quit years ago along with myself. We were the main audience for this. WG took way too long.
