Jake Chen, a tank commander of a ZTZ-96A main battle tank of the PLA 35th tank platoon. While at training, he was friendly-fired. Upon losing his physical body, his soul had somehow teleported into another world full of mythical beings; but their situation is not positive.
For 3 years, Equestria and its allies had been fighting against Grogar and his massive army; technologies advanced quickly; but their levels are at the 1940s comparing to the humans. The teleported commander Jake's soul was transported into a body of a dragon name Qibli (Yes I got it from Wings of Fire), he's also a tank commander. A new soul that came from a world with highly advanced technologies, how would he change the tide of the war?
"Maus? King Tiger? Jagdtiger? I dare you to challenge me, but the result aren't gonna be pretty!"

Well he's an unlucky guy... Poor Jake.
Zis-5 guns had "fixed ammo" (fixed QF in british terms) only, not cartridges.
Anyway, modern tank commander would be useless in wwii era tank, he would not be even able coordinate properly or provide proper adjustments (note t-34/76 had zero augment optics, headsets or proper radio, iron sight were different from what US used <.<).
From writing perspective, there is too much of detail dump, which also results in inevitable bloopers. But reaction of character is completely omitted, he became background!

How did T-34s coordinate in the field then, if they couldn't communicate?
10452150
You do know that tank commanders have to go to tank schools first right? There's this military college in China that actually let's you drive a we2 era tank such as a T-34. So my character Jake must've learned how to operate a T-34 from that college before he came to Equestria. Oh and aslo, this is not earth, so the tech tree might be different. Since Equestria is magic, then the radio is also magic in their world. Remember I mentioned that Jake's soul has been TELEPORTED to Equestria, so this T-34 is not the original one.

And no, T-34/76 uses a 76mm F-34 gun, not a ZiS 5.

And also, since the tanks are not on Earth but in Equestria, they're not gonna be historically accurate.

I was asking a historical question. In Equestria, the lack of radios isn't a problem as crews could communicate via magic.

Magic radios

Range unlimited

That makes it too easy, in my opinion.
10452603
Yeah, welp, magic is magic. But I can make it harder for Jake (Qibli).
For example, their radio is destroyed, and they're cornered behind enemy line. How bout that?

Eh. Fair enough.

Oops! I spoiled it!!!
Sorry guys, but I'm currently suffering a headache, so I won't be updating this story until at least few days later.
