What is your favorite WWII Tank? Lets leave self-propelled guns and tank hunters out of this for now. The vehicle has to have tracks and a Turret. |
Texas Jack | 08 Aug 2015 1:48 a.m. PST |
Aesthetically, I like the Crusader, though the Cromwell is a very close second. |
Mako11 | 08 Aug 2015 1:52 a.m. PST |
Hmmm, probably have to go with the Panther A. Of course, the Tiger I and Tiger II Henschel get honorable mentions as well. M26 for the Americans. T-34/85 for the Russians. Cromwell VII for the British (just really like the looks of it, even though the Firefly seems like an obvious choice). Yea, Panther A, since it is such a nice, balanced design. |

Favorite but not best. Interesting. M26 |

Panzer IV. Always liked it's look. |

Panzer II T26 Churchill mk VI |
Muncehead | 08 Aug 2015 4:00 a.m. PST |
Churchill MkVII – always liked it. Fond memories as a 12 year old assembling the Airfix kit and they have/had a Churchill on display at the Imperial War Museum London. |
skippy0001 | 08 Aug 2015 4:03 a.m. PST |
M3 Stuart, early with the side sponson .30 cals still mounted. Fast, small, gyrostabilised, canister rounds-what's not to like? Or a Pz III with US, Brit and Russian mods. |
Dynaman8789 | 08 Aug 2015 4:38 a.m. PST |
Too many to choose just one. Sherman – kinda ugly but a good design. Panther – All around lovely design T34 – If I *HAD* to choose this would win, warhorse of a tank that showed the way of the future. Char B1 – Just plain cool. |

Always liked the Matilda II |

Lets leave self-propelled guns and tank hunters out of this for now.The vehicle has to have tracks and a Turret. You do realize what we do with silly restrictions around here , don't you? We ignore them. You would ban discussions on StuGs and Su-76s? |

M4 Sherman in the "Easy 8" configuration….. I've also got some love for the M24… |
Coyotepunc and Hatshepsuut | 08 Aug 2015 6:21 a.m. PST |
I reject your rules and substitute my own. Stug III. Oddly, I have never built a model of it in any scale. <happily whistles while wandering off to find a Stug 3 model> |
plutarch 64 | 08 Aug 2015 6:35 a.m. PST |
PzIV or Matilda II for me… |
Winston Smith | 08 Aug 2015 6:38 a.m. PST |
I like big boxy turrets that look like tool sheds. Thus some love here for the KV-2 and Challenger. Oh sure the Cromwell has a boxy turret, but the Challenger is a vast improvement. |

The Tin Dictator | 08 Aug 2015 8:11 a.m. PST |
We did this poll a while back. My vote is still for the T-35 with the 5 turrets, high profile, slow movement, and worthless guns. |
Gone Fishing | 08 Aug 2015 8:20 a.m. PST |
The Jagdpanther and the Elefant for me. Not really because they were the "best" tanks, which they emphatically weren't (the second being a downright awful contraption, particularly for the men inside), but because they look so imposing. For all round performance it would have to be the T-34 or the Panther. But then I have a fondness for Ha-Gos as well. Useless bits of tin against anything more than a machine gun, but still… |
vicmagpa1 | 08 Aug 2015 8:46 a.m. PST |
t-34/85 a well rounded proven tank. in all time periods. |
TBeyer | 08 Aug 2015 9:04 a.m. PST |
I have to go with the Soviet JS types – they just look brutal and nasty. |

Churchill Mk IV Pz Mk III |
Barenakedleadies | 08 Aug 2015 9:21 a.m. PST |
Panther with side skirts. Honorable mention goes to the PZ II. Always loved the look of that one even if it's basically recon. |
Jeff Ewing | 08 Aug 2015 9:33 a.m. PST |
I will cheerfully own to loving useless tanks: T-26, Matilda I, m11-39. But for all-around plays every game it has to the pzkw III. |

Centurion all the way. Brilliant piece of kit. |
GarrisonMiniatures | 08 Aug 2015 10:25 a.m. PST |
Always like the weird ones – Matilda 1, most of the Russian or Japanese lights, especially the amphibious ones. |
Weasel | 08 Aug 2015 10:36 a.m. PST |
Based purely on looks and underdog appreciation, I am going to say the Crusader. |
Saber6 | 08 Aug 2015 11:28 a.m. PST |
Sherman, with weak spot for the Grant |

Panzer IV F2-G, also 1943 model T-34 |
Allen57 | 08 Aug 2015 1:26 p.m. PST |
Probably because they were my first three tank models but objectively they were still nice looking machines. 1. Sherman 2. Panther 3. JS III |
DisasterWargamer | 08 Aug 2015 1:37 p.m. PST |
M22 Locust – Loved the idea of an airborne tank
The Comet – though a late war cruiser tank Though loved one of my first models – the Lee/Grant – painted up in Western Desert Scheme |
chasseur | 08 Aug 2015 2:24 p.m. PST |
I discovered military history through reading Brazen Chariots and so I will always have a soft spot for Honeys with the Crusader II a close second. Something fatally romantic about both of those vehicles. |
