The squad has just returned after the battle for Vasel and is preparing for an extended period of downtime. We will be moving on to a training montage soon though. So uh... not a lot going on right now. Perfect time to join!

Speaking of which, we will be moving on sometime Sunday or Monday. The squad will be undergoing special training, so those of you who wish to change class may do so, including going to the elite versions of your current class. Get dem flamethrowers bois.

Oh dear. File a restraining order.

Also,@KoL, you can go ahead and talk to Veronica whenever if you're up for it.

@Massasauga Unfortunately, university is a yandere who wants all my time to herself. A restraining order would only make her angry, and we all know how that would turn out...

Highly interested. I don't usually join RPs that have started their IC Threads or are well and truly into theirs, but I'm a huge fan of the Valkyria Chronicles franchise and I always wanted to partake in such an RP.

...

What's your stance on Valkyrur, if you don't mind me asking? Although I would've liked the chance to play as one, I'm more asking out of curiosity; I'm well versed with how powerful they're meant to be, and as such, I completely understand if you'd rather they not be involved, OR if all the slots you were ever going to allocate to Valkyrur had already been taken.

I'd like to play as a Sniper regardless. I'll be sure to read through the OP and the Characters Section as I develop my potential character more.

Sure, I'll have my post either tomorrow or on Sunday. As always weekends are the most reliable times for me to do it. Sorry for any delays.

Just flunk out like I did!

No actually don't do that. Not only am I going back, but I've been paying off loans since.

@Massasauga Unfortunately, I can't flunk... My chosen career path needs a Masters degree to get anywhere, so I'm gonna be in school for a lot longer. Just less classes and more legit research.

Evenin', @AdmrlStalfos19, always nice to have more interest. I believe that due to the fact that the player would be a walking WMD, as well as several smaller factors, we weren't going to let anyone play a Valkyrur and were not going to encounter them much/at all in the story. Lennon needs to confirm this, but I think thats how we planned on rolling.

Sniper is perfectly fine, though. You're actually commenting at the perfect time. We just got back to base and have been reorganizing the squad to add new members, so it'll be easy to drop you in.

@Raven_Operative

OK, cool. I'll start working on my character right now.

I'm thinking of giving him an anti-tank rifle to beat down enemy tanks with, as well possibly a pistol so he can actually intercept other enemies with assuming they move in range. Would either of these additions be OK? I know they're a thing in VCs 2 & 3, but from first glance at the OP, this seems more or less based on the original VC. Hence why I'm asking :/

@AdmrlStalfos19 If you take a quick look through the IC thread, you'll notice we don't really follow the mechanics of the game as much, so interception range isn't really a big deal. I wouldn't see any problem with your character being armed with a pistol, though.

As for the AT-rifle, well you're in luck. Valkyria Chronicles has not one, but TWO AT rifles in it (although they are not unlocked on the normal research tree). Since we don't have either a lancer or a sniper, I think it would be fine (though @Lennon79 needs to verify this) so long as you don't powergame with it. Remember, it's going to be heavy as fuck, wildly inaccurate (I think the first rifle - the one you would be allowed to use - had an accuracy rating of E in game), and not do nearly as much damage as a proper lance. You wouldn't be able to one-shot tanks with it and shooting infantry would be a difficult task (due to the lack of accuracy), but we could make it work. Since we aren't following game mechanics... almost at all, I see no reason why you couldn't use the rifle to disable the tanks you cant kill. Getting a successful penetration might kill a crew member (though the tank would still be mostly intact). Alternatively, you could shoot off optics, treads, damage the barrel, etc.

How's that sound? We just don't want to have a character who can do both a sniper and a lancer's job equally well.

@Raven_Operative

Ah, you must be talking about the two ATR's. I forgot they existed for a second there, mostly because I don't recall ever getting a hold of them in-game, and it had been a while since I played the game itself. If not for that, I probably would've tried to go for a Gautt or the ZM SGAT (and was legit debating on the two), but I guess I can give the ATR a whirl and see how I like it.

I was actually thinking a similar thing in regards to how my char would actually handle a tank; ideally he'd aim to pick the crew members off one by one, and then sneak around the back of the tank in order to get at the exposed radiator, which he'd have to hit in order to inflict meaningful damage to the tank itself, before anyone else can climb back into it and salvage it/use it against the squad again.

Well, I should really get my arse online more often... Hiya @AdmrlStalfos19 and welcome to the thread. As Raven said, we're not allowing Valkyrur as PCs, though they may still be in the plot somewhere or other. This is mainly to keep everyone balanced and to play the war from the point of a group of more or less normal soldiers.

But a sniper with an anti-tank rifle sounds pretty damn cool. The practical restrictions that Raven mentioned would of course apply, but if you're ok with that, sounds good to me. Shooting off the tracks and popping a shot through the driver's hatch would be a cool way to immobilise an tank, or one through the radiator to kill the engine.

I suggest studying up on the effectiveness of the PTRD-41 for reference.

I did the bulk of the app a few days ago, but the RP sample proved to be a pain in the ass. I kinda left it on a cliff-hanger for now, but I can extend on that if I really need to. Though are there any red flags with the app itself? I'd rather try and fix any of them first.

Oh, and in case you're still doing that thing where you check to see if people read the OP, my favorite Squad 7 char is Welkin. The Edelwiess comes through very often in the harder missions, and even when he's deployed as a scout, Welkin holds his own relatively well :]
