88 | John W. Warner IV Bea translated as she turned pages. It reads: For -platoon leaders and Tigermen: Frontal and turret armor 102 mm. Gun mantlet 120 mm. 8.8 cm main gun with 2000 meters effective range. Double baffle muzzle brake. Magazine holds 90 rounds total. Ninety of those big rounds? Takuta whistled. Listen to this propaganda, sounds like an advert for a motorcar: Leutnant S. V. killed thirty-eight T34 tanks in Russia in one sortie. 227hits by antitankfire, 11 hits by 76.2mm shells, 14 hits by 52mm shells on the tracks, rolled over 3 minesno penetration of the armor! Rolled along another 60 km to safety. Will shoot anything to pieces. Will withstand anything. Handles like an auto. Twin Porsche 310 bhp air-cooled 10-cylinder engines with electric mixte Siemens motors with 3 speeds. I should have known better.. .electric motors? A hybrid drive? Thats Ferdinand all over. Right. Power steering. Skoda-built suspension. 600 mm Tracks. Longitudinal torsion bar suspension. 45 kph on tarmac. 35 kph on rough terrain. 520 liters of fuel or 26 Jerrycans for a 105 km range. Can navigate one meter of dry snow. Can traverse three meters underwater. Smoke grenade launcher and defensivefire ports for use with supplied grenades, pistols, and two MP-40 submachineguns. Bloody ol hell, what cant this lump do, fly like a buzzard and lay rotten eggs? ‘That cursed curmudgeon Porsche, always upping the game, and Ill bet Hitler had plenty of input, the grandiose, bigger-gun-than-thou psychopath. These should be on the Russian steppes, not down here in the sandy flying pan. Perhaps that is why they are here…no one expects them to be. Gwafa then pointed. What does it say next to the naked woman in the bathtub? Danger lurks in the engine oil sumps. Remember then: Read your manual well, or else your Tiger will go to hell. Probably good advice. Takuta laughed. Whats with the other naked bird in the shower? Its talking about temperature ranges in subzero battlefields. Nothing we need to worry about, its air-cooled. It overheats at 105 deg. C, and that we do need to mind. Socking great tits shes got, reminds me of my chum Drumm. How do we start it? I can steal anything, asked Gwafa, suitably perked. Bea turned a page. Here it is. T-handle ignition key, choke operation, rpm to 1500 for warm up, spark plug fouling prevention, fuel vents, fuel pumps, fuel valves, battery switch, fuse box, blower ventilation, directional lever at neutral position, steering wheel, clutch operation crikes, this is like an oversized jumped-up bulldozer with twin engines and a naval gun. Lots of tidbits to remember.
