I’m going to do a survery on your favourite tank of world war II[}:)]
we’ll see which tank wins. Personally my favourite ones are the sherman and the king tiger. What are yours?[?]
US:
I really like the M3A3 light, M3 Lee and of course Shermans. The M3A3 is a BIG favorite because I used to play on and in one when I was a kid.
German:
Panther followed by the Tiger II and Tiger I
UK:
Churchill (you gotta love a tank that’s handicapped accessible)
Japan:
I can’t remember the type, but it’s small enough to put on the back deck of a Sherman (photo in one of the Sherman books)
My favorite are
German : Panther and Tiger
American: Sherman
Russian: T-34/85
Phil
Tiger1
Tiger II, “Porsche” turret.
Oh yeah… Soviets! (I feel like Patton here forgetting our Russian Allies)
T-34’s are cool, both the 76 and 85 (rotten to drive though). However, for looks I like the late JS II’s!

Why, the Polish TK-3. Isn’t it everyone’s? [;)]
I’m more generally interested in armor, and don’t have a clear favorite. I especially like the Grant and Panzer IIIj for the Tobruk battles, the Wehrmacht Tiger II’s and the ISU-152’s in Hungary, and the Shermans of the 4th Amored Division in France. IS-II’s in Berlin are cool too. And then there’s always … [:p]
I like em all! Just interested in the history and dynamics of it, and very glad I learned what I know in an armchair instead of staring down the muzzle of an enemy tank.
tiger I, as that’s the tank i’d want to be in if i had to go into battle[}:)] (any shermans look out!!)…
firefly for the “good guys” i think, as we brits managed to turn a mincemeat maker into something that could compete with the german tanks…provided it never got hit!![:p][:p][:p]

Tiger, Panther, and just about anything built on the 38(t) chassis (Marder, Hetzer, etc.)

I’d say the M3 Lee because it was the stepping stone between the old “land battleship” concept of a tank with a ton of machine guns and the modern, singularly turreted tank.
I’d say the T-35. Almost like a destroyer on tracks. Although I think only 4 were made.
US Sherman and the Stuart [it is just to cute! [^] besides anything with 2 caddy V8s can’t be all bad
German the tiger
Russian the T34

I’d say the crusader is mine. not that well armed and armored, but it sure is attractive!!
For me, it is the following:
Germany: King Tiger
US: M 26 Pershing
Britain: Comet
Russia: JS II Stalin
Japan: Chi Ha Shinhoto (worthless in a fight, but it’s got sexy lines!)
Italy: M 13/40 (see above)
Yeah, WHERE IS the 1/35 scale model of that one!?? How can you have the Battle of France without the ‘Char B’?
Ron
I’m gonna have to run with the Tiger I for it’s brute force and the stuart honey cause it looks cool!
StuG III
Jagdpanther
Hetzer
US T-28 heavy tank
M3 honey and Tiger (p) Elefant
