Dear Readers,
Mission 7-5 was titled Operation: Water Scythe. It involved marsh exploration and another confrontation with a praying mantis along with other bugs! I changed the chassis to the DD Sherman before starting.
Colonel Diekmann ordered us to defeat the praying mantis because it was a huge disadvantage to have it in the area. Ernst and Joachim told me to be careful because the mantis picked a horrible spot for a battle.
Indeed it was. I was not happy about finding the mantis long before the abandoned tank. It took an extra 5 minutes to find the tank, only for us to lose to the mantis not long after. We lost on the second attempt too but sussed out where the abandoned tank was without having to sail all over the place for it. I then decided to ditch the flotation altogether and just equip max power and max defence with the Tiger II chassis and turret. We did it that time! We did an approach and run tactic by going back and forth in a repetitive way and made the mantis get stuck behind a hollow log. It took a few minutes! We got hit a fair few times but we managed to shoot it a lot more. We let out a cheer and went back to base for repairs, earning 408 points and an A rank.
New tank:
American M3 Stuart - a light tank known for its mobility and it was named "Stuart" by the British. Not sure why though.
