Why two videos? Well, I didn't take that much screenshots in these clips. Let's see... I took only four pictures in between parts 2 and 3.
Sorry, got too deep into the game that all of my focus was on Metal Saga itself.
So without any other stuff to declare, I give you part 2 of the Metal Saga Playthrough.
Continuing from the last MS Adventures, we proceed to the Hunter's Office to get our very first bounty reward. Not quite an amount... it's more like pocket money's worth of reward. Then it's time to leave the Junkyard and onward to Newfolk!
But then, we got messages... messages from Gary's dad and Scarlet. She gave us some newbie tips that can be very helpful for a person who's new to Metal Saga.

| One of the few tips she sent. |
After fighting our way through some sunflowers that shoot missiles and other assorted weird... stuff, we finally reached Newfolk. Nice place, with peaceful music playing.
And of course we met Nikolai, the "mechanic god".
Too bad we can't take him along, though. Repairing vehicles will be a breeze for him. Instead, we can ask his daughter, Misha or son, Kiriya to tag along. They are still learning the mechanic ways, but they know enough to keep the vehicles in tip-top shape.
I went with Kiriya on this one. He's the "active/aggressive" mechanic while Misha is more of a "support/passive" mechanic. Originally the classic go-to mechanic for every game I start out.

| Time to get a vehicle for him! |
But there are certain moments where I picked Misha instead. It's just personal preference, anyways.
And then there's part 3 of the playthrough...
Sadly, there's only ONE screenshot taken during this playthrough... It's a picure of the Mosquito "tank" [or more specifically, tankette] just before I went to claim ownership of it.

Found a Demag for Kiriya first before I went to get the Mosquito. The halftrack's a good vehicle, but it's quite similar to the Buggy. The Mosquito however, is more of a tiny tank. Even though you can place a cannon on one to make it look more like a tank, I prefer this vehicle to have a missile pod instead.
Now, some tank history: the Demag is based of the german WWII halftracks, the Sd.Kfz. 250. It's not really the 251 version as that one was created by the Hanomag company, hence then it's called the Demag in the game as the Demag company made the lighter version, the 250.

Some links to both the Demag and Hanomag halftrack info page below... and yes, I know... Wikipedia...
Sd.Kfz. 250 [Demag Built]
Sd.Kfz. 251 [Hanomag Built]
Renamed it to Hanomag instead, as it's more accurate. The vehicle in the game is given a big gun and tons of armor tiles, thus it's no longer a "light vehicle". Looks like I've forgotten to place quotes for the Demag's name in the game... Looks better as "Hanomag" instead.
As for the Mosquito, it was renamed to the Wiesel 1A1. The tank is pretty much the same... although I do not know why it was nicknamed Mosquito in the game.
Maybe because it's quick, small and it stings you and you don't see it coming? Could be.
Here's a link to the Wiesel 1's info... below.
Wiesel AWC
This was supposed to be renamed to Wiesel AT [Anti-Tank] but it just doesn't feel right. The reason I wanted the cannon replaced because I wanted at least one vehicle using the SE [Special Equipment] weapon. The first few vehicles you find have the Main Gun slot, y'know... cannons.

| The closest Wiesel 1 with a missile pod [TOW] |
Of course, I did get around to changing it to equip SE weapons, but that's all in another part of the playthrough.... much, much later that is.
Technically, the Buggy was not supposed to have a Main Gun, but instead a missile pod. It makes more sense as I have yet to see actual photos of buggies with tank cannons... they only carry missile pods or recoiless rifles as of now.
There was a picture of a Wiesel 1 with a supposed "turret", but that's not a cannon... it's only a large-caliber machinegun.

| Notice the turret, but the gun seems small. |
I guess I'm going off topic right now, seems like I've talked more about the real life counterparts rather than the game itself. But, more will come in the next Metal Saga Adventures update!
