I would have to say the Chieftain, it looks so tank-y. |

Chieftain and T-64B are my favorites for MBT's but it's so hard not to love the Scimitar and the Swedish S-Tank for looks.
Cheers and good gaming.

Scorpion. No other vehicle could have defeated the forces of the Purple Moon single-handed…
M48 is the runner up. I love the airfix HD poly version and I'm about to paint up a couple for my West Germans. |

M60a1 because that's what my dad drove and many years later they were the first 1/285 miniatures that I received as a birthday present. |
| Mako11 | 26 Aug 2015 5:38 p.m. PST |
Yea, those M48s are pretty cool. Love the M48A2C, and M48A2GA2 West German variants. I want/need a bunch of those for my forces as well. |

M60A1 and M1IP … Since those were what supported my Infantry Bros & I, '79-'90 …  |
| Mute Bystander | 27 Aug 2015 6:53 a.m. PST |
Heck they are all just targets for the A-10 and it's less efficient brothers…

Of course there were many others, and the MBT-70 was not ludicrous. Sure, would have been better with a 120mm cannon instead of the 152mm gun/missile system, but I suspect that was doable. The general concept helped create the M-1 tank, sans the adjustable height suspension. There's a lot more wrong with the MBT-70 than the suspension – though, as a former armor crewman myself, the idea of working on those hydraulics gives me nightmares. From the rotating driver's station in the turret to the fact that it mixed metric and SAE tools on the same vehicle, I stand by my characterization of the thing as "ludicrous." Yes, it eventually led to the M-1, but it did so as a cautionary example. |

Tough call… Chafee for overall cutest Godzilla-fodder. M51 Sherman for cutest BFG platform.

Centurion has to be my favourite from the whole cold war period but the best would have to be the Leo II. Superior to everything else in service at the time. |
| CavScout8thCav | 31 Aug 2015 4:24 a.m. PST |
Leo II and the M1A1.. As for the WarPac it was the ones I could easily destroy with the TOW 2 on either my M901 or Bradley. |

Centurion – nothing else comes close. Apart from anything else, it can survive being nuked… 'Positioned to face the low-yield atomic blast head on, 169041 was less than 500 yards from the epicentre.' 'When first observed by a survey party only 60 minutes after the blast, the engine was not running, but investigations later ascertained that it had simply run out of fuel a few minutes after the blast.
When started three days later, it ran smoothly and was driven from the site towards Woomera.' link |

The concept that it (that Centurion) went on to serve in Vietnam after benig 500 yards from a nuke is quite astonishing. No wonder the Israelis kept them n service for so long. John T |
