OK, this should avoid complaints that somebody's favorite tank used in WW1 was left out of the poll! Here they are: A7V Scheider CA1 Saint-Chamond (Modèle 17) Saint-Chamond (Modèle 18) Renault FT, mitrailleuse Renault FT, canon Mark 1, Male Mark 1, Female Mark 1V, Male Mark 1V, Female Mark V, Male Mark V, Female Mark V*, Male Mark V*, Female Medium Mark A, Whippet |

Renault FT, mitrailleuse. I love the camo on these tanks and they last until Ww2. |

The FT is surely the most influential (and was copied rather widely) but I have a soft spot for the Whippet. |

Renault FT, mitrailleuse. |

It reminds me of a tank used tens of thousands of years later:

Tank? British Mk IV Male. I would suggest broadening the topic to "Favorite AFV used in WW1". That way, I could talk about the Lanchester Armoured Car. Ron |

World War 1 Russian Lebedenko Tank
Favorite tanks do not necessarily have to be battle winners as shown here but it is unique and a great example of "What were they thinking?" link |

You left out the Russian Tsar tank. |

The Tsar Tank (Russian: Царь-танк), also known as the Netopyr' (Нетопырь) which stands for Pipistrellus (a genus of bat) or Lebedenko Tank (танк Лебеденко), was an unusual Russian armoured vehicle developed by Nikolai Lebedenko (Николай Лебеденко), Nikolai Zhukovsky (Николай Жуковский), Boris Stechkin (Борис Стечкин), and Alexander Mikulin (Александр Микулин) from 1914 onwards. The project was scrapped after initial tests deemed the vehicle to be underpowered and vulnerable to artillery fire. From Wikipedia |

Not left out, wasn't used in the war. |

I don't know if you have noticed this or not, but you don't really have any control over how the poll is presented once you have proposed it. Dear Editor in Chief Bill can add the Tsar to the poll if he wishes. |

Saint-Chamond (Modèle 17) followed by the A7V. Some great (and wacky designs going on around this time). Cheers Roger. |

Mark V. Good tank for WWI. Maybe the Panther of its time. |
Shagnasty | 29 Feb 2016 1:04 p.m. PST |
Renault FT. Again, very cool! |
Herkybird | 29 Feb 2016 1:07 p.m. PST |
Another vote for the Renault FT, archetypal tank shape if ever there was one! |

My heart says my favourite tank is the Saint Charmond, but my head says the FT-17 canion |

Saint Charmond -the elephant on gazelle legs |

This Australian tank:
(an A7V, of course. Captured from the Germans & I believe the only one in existence. I often drive past it, on display outside our museum.) |

Whippet. Never produced, but like the look of the Sturmpanzerwagen Oberschlesien Assault Tank link |

I'm on the fence between the FT and the Whippet, but I think they're all good. |
