Okay...
Okay. Review time. I can function. I can function!
For starters, you already saw me losing my mind. So the Musashi reveal was bloody amazing. You had us all strung along thinking we'd not be getting a Yamato-Class for a really long time, if ever. And here is the little sister to Japanese Battleship Yamato: Musashi. Holy shit, man. I will stop swearing eventually.
See, that's
exactly the kind of reaction I was gunning for! Glad to know I hit it off just right!
Naka's little slice of life as a streamer on Twitch was nice to see, as was her being in touch with a multifaceted fanbase like that. Naka is a powerful and skilled idol indeed. Plus the patch that turned Iowa into Big J was a nice touch. :3
You know, I was considering posting
only that part with a note saying "Writer's block/busy/etc, sorry. Have some slice-of-life gooeyness while I work." And then post the real stuff a bit later. But I decided against.
And Naka's fun to write. I haven't seen much of her doing PR stuff, and even less where she's being portrayed as decent about it.
Jersey must have been really out of it to just barge into Goto's office like that. Even accounting for food and coffee. Though Goto's reaction was hilarious. Kongou-Class shenanigans toughen you up to the madness super fast. Nagato looks like she needs a stiff drink, especially after dealing with Lewdmarine'd recon photos. Really, Iku? Really? You couldn't have waited for less demanding moment to start lewding for the camera? XD
To be fair to Lady J, she
was summoned to the Admiral's office, it's not like she was barging in without asking or anything. And she does need her food, you wouldn't want the poor thing to starve, would you? Who would the taffies momboat then?
Nagato always needs a drink. She's a prim and proper military lady on a base with
Kongou sisters. Watch the Anime, all her scenes are either "Intense military duties" or "I hate my life. I hate you and I hate my life." (The later usually happens while Mutsu's laughing her ass off in the background.)
Oh, and Iku would like to remind you that "lewd" isn't what you do as much as it is a way of life.
And the Habakkuk. Hot damn. I think of all the things to turn Hoppo into, that monstrosity was the last thing I could have imagined. You picked on hell of a fight for the fleet to go up against. Well done I say. This is shaping up to be freaking epic.
I've been teasing it for a while, and quite a few people on SB guessed it as soon as the Convoy encountered it. The Habakkuk's actually a surprisingly good fit for Hoppo. Lives in the far north, carries aircraft... wears white.
And a nice touch on having Jersey catching herself with the Katies and Crossroads with Nagato there.
Also a lot of second ships of class running around.
So yeah. Pretty awesome there.
MUSASHI!
She didn't have decaf, so there's
less foot-in-mouth. I
had to choose Musashi 'cause Yamato's too dang prim and proper to hang out with Jersey the living, cursing wrecking ball.
The thing is with standard battleship ammo that happens relatively rarely, these things were known to do regularly...
That and constantly firing them damaged the guns rifling.
Jersey: Not only that, they were fucking useless! Like... they were sorta okay against airfields, but they were
literally worse than nothing against planes. The blast from the big guns would screw up all the actually-less-shit AA guns.
. Also I can't help but think a salvo of Katies would do something to that monstrosity. 180 Kilotons per salvo is nothing to sneeze at.
A damn oil supertanker monster that they could not kill.
