I had created this thread to ask you guys which was your favourite tank during the war. Write it down and decribe it. I know a lot of you know so much about tanks and that is why I wrote this too. My favourite tanks were the Panther, Tiger1, T-34, M4 Sherman, Sherman Firefly and the M24 Chaffee light tank. I cannot decide between all of them, so I narrowed the list down to this much. In the picture there is a M24 Chaffee at the front and at the back you can see the M3 Grant tank.

I know. Just because a tank has thick armour doesn't mean it is any good. The Char B1 bis had a good gun, good amour and the Germans had to either mob it or bring up an 88mm FlaK gun to knock it out. That is pretty good.Kehsct wrote:

The AMX-40 seems to never entered production, nor fought for France.
The might stronk KV-2 made of Stallinium that shots Lunar caped shells of doom!
I still don't think the B1 was all that good. It's gun had to be positioned like most tank destroyers of the time, and could be easily flanked by the Panzer IIIs used in the blitz. Panzer IVs also came with an 88mm cannon. Both were in action around the time of the French invasion.Quasi-duck wrote:

They did not and this is a perfect example to prove that you have no idea what you are talking about. During the invasion of France the IV only had a short 75, they never had an 88. The IV was made as a support tank for the III's which only had a 37 during France, possibly some 50's.Kehsct wrote:

It also saw little to no service and was quickly out-dated.Kehsct wrote:

The British TOG2!
Only one was ever produced, but still very cool
Yeah, same with most tanks thought up and used during WW2, especially near the end.Quasi-duck wrote:

That is extremely untrue. If they were used, they generally saw a fair amount of action, even the German multi-turret tank had its run of operations until it was scrapped and there was less than twenty of those babies.Kehsct wrote:

Yes, many tanks saw their fair share, but if you look at all the tanks thought up during WW2, most projects were scrapped or only had a few prototypes.Quasi-duck wrote:

I thought up ideas for tanks to be used in Afghanistan and Iraq, do these tanks count as vehicles that could've been used there? I wouldn't think so.Kehsct wrote:

Made from Stalinwood and forged in Lenin's fire, the T-34 shall destroy all!

They could've been used, but even the most advanced WW2 tanks would've been destroyed by outdated Cold War tech. Most of those tanks were only on paper anyways.
