What are Veeky Forums's favorite tanks?
Renault FT, M4 Sherman, Centurion, and M1 Agrams.
You can have different tastes, but be aware that they're wrong.
BT-7, T-54/55, T-72, T-90
American M1 Tank Destoyers
ARL 44 Personal favourite of mine, Long High velocity 90mm Canons make me nut
t34
It's a TD, but the Hetzer is my top favorite.
Other contenderes are the Somua S35, Pz III Ausf. C, TOG II*, and Sherman Firefly.
>give your most advanced tanks to 16 year olds
Hetzer, KV-1, T-34-85, Ha-Go, M4 Sherman, Tiger BT-7
The one with a penis
The Panzer IV is just a good, solid tank. So is the Sherman. The Stuart is a fine little tanklet with attitude. Tiger II is a beast, too bad about the O and M issues.
Panzer III because it's the chassis of the StüG, which is a cute but doesn't count as a tank apparently.
Here we fucking go
>stug
>tank
Stüg was an assault gun. Used fot infantry support.
Assault guns were part of the artillery and not the pazertruppe.
You wouldnt call hummel a tank even though it has armor and a gun.
aaaaaaaa what did I say wrong???
OP asked for tanks, I said Pz.III and gave my reason, that it is the basis of StüG.III, which people commonly mention the term "propelled gun" is more suitable for. If I wanted to ignite an argument, I could have just said StüG.
You don't bring up the definition of a tank in tank threads on Veeky Forums or else you summon the autist
Type 2 Ka-Mi, of course
It's a shame this is a meme accidentally created by a hobbyist gluing models together
I love WW1 tanks. They're so steampunk and alien.
this
I'm pretty sure he was intentionally trying to make something ridiculous and then try to pass it off as a real tank.
Agree with this, but not because it was the Stug chassis (PZ 4 was also a Stug chassis, but not as prevalent). Quite simply, it was the main tank for the Wehrmacht in both the Battle of France and the opening stages of Barbarossa. It never had the technical specs of its rival opposing tanks, but consistently outperformed them anyway due to good tactics and good crews. I like the plucky little tank that could.
That's not just a tank... It's German autism made manifest !
Can't go wrong with a Centurion. That Tank saved my countries ass a couple of time.
Abbreviate sell propelled for me please. They are tanks btw
There is something about those mark I/mark IV design that makes me hard.
I know they were shitty, and often caused more problems than they solved, but god damn this shape, those rivets, those guns makes me go unf.
I like the look of the Sheridan
watch the newest GuP episode senpai
The ones containing dead Germans.
Dreckiger Hurensohn
Based Anti-Wehraboo
Slav shit lol
obsessed
You don't know the half of it. Wish there were some good images of German women, children and elderly burning alive in their homes. My only dream is that Hitler was remotely competent on the Eastern Front and the war dragged on an extra six months and we got to nuke several German cities.
you reek of underaged desu
Challenger 2, I've legit worked with them in an internship, having them drive past you while you're at work is sweet.
But 25 rule and its still in service so doesn't count. In that case I'd go for the Tiger 1. It's just iconic and being in it in late '42 or early '43 would have been the shit.
What does the V near the front of the tank mean?
>being this edgy
I wonder what it must have been like to face one of them in battle
at least during WWII most folks knew what a tank was so it wasn't a huge surprise to see them show up, but the soldiers during WWI had never even considered one of them could show up until they did.
Shooting at it does absolutely nothing, it plows through your carefully placed barbed wire fences and rolls over trenches
Wouldn't it flip over from recoil ?
The tank's company from what I remember.
>Tips over in the first trench it tries to cross
cute
>Pz III
>Main tank in France
No
M60 Patton. All the workhorse of an M48 with the bells and whistles of what was considered specialty armor then.
Seriously the T-72 lol was a piece of shit. Vatniks like to overate shitty Soviet tanks but they all fucking sucked. The T-34 lol, sucked. The T-55 lol was a piece of shit. T-62 kek sucked. T-72 lol wut? sucked shit. They all sucked.
>Russian tanks go up against US equipment
>get smashed no matter the operators
Every. Fucking. Time. Fucking """"""non-Soviet""""" operated T-55s and 64s were getting shit on all over Africa by ARMORED CARS. The only time where I can think of the inverse is the Iran-Iraq War, but there are thousands of examples of PACT equipment getting railed by NATO equipment.
>great at fighting tanks
>great at infantry support
>simpler to produce than tanks
The STuG was the greatest armoured vehicle of the war.
Yes, it was. Of the approximately 1,200 tanks in Panzer Group Kleist, the one actually making the breakthrough that knocked out France, PZ3s were not quite a majority of the overall force, but they were the plurality, and a big one.
Unless you wanted to advance and keep fighting. Quite honestly, you can make the exact same argument about a towed field gun battery.
>"the myth of Soviet inferiority in this sector of arms production that has been perpetuated by the failure of downgraded T-72 export tanks in the Gulf Wars has, finally, been laid to rest. The results of these tests show that if a NATO/Warsaw Pact confrontation had erupted in Europe, the Soviets would have had parity (or perhaps even superiority) in armour"[46]
I love it when Mt. Stupid residents try to appear smart.
Soviets enjoyed technological advantage in terms of armour for almost the entire Cold War, in the sense of actually deployed models. They lost the edge in 80s, but even then they weren't far behind, though lack of stuff like thermal imaging was somewhat serious.
I try to imagine the Tank as a gir
The ARL would be the kind of french gentle femdom girl that would catch a glimpse of you at a hotel lobby before whispering you her room number.
I really don't get the appeal of tanks. They're very ugly machines when you get down to it.
Interwar mad max tanks don't get enough love.
Soviet tanks > other tanks
Sherman is based
BT was designed by an American and improvements were made by the Soviets.
What about Socialist Vietnam's use of Soviet armor?
Not really my favorite tank, just wanted to bring some variety to the discussion.
>Formed the bulk of the italian armoured divisions in Africa
>Adequate gun and armour made obsolete by late '41
>Used efficiently by the tankers to cope for its shortcomings, managed to achieve various victories thanks to close cooperation with the infantry and artillery
>Higher reliability than their german allies and a longer operational range, combined with good mobility made it a nice ride through the rocky desert
>Bolted plates for that spicy fragmentation on hit ensuring that there were two times more deaths than destroyed tanks every time
>Easily accessible trasmission for Tony to repair his tin can
>Used as the base for the Semoventi SPGs
And look at how boxy it is, an absolute beauty.
>bt-7
AHAHAHAHHHAHAHAAA
umm, m18 tank destroyer you mean?
>post a picture of a model
kys
Churchill
Especially the Mk 3, Mk 7 and gun carriage
The fact they never got the gun carriage to fully work was a shame as the chassis would've made a great heavy tank destroyer
A towed field gun battety requires redeployment, and for that reason, while extremely useful, it cannot support advancing infantry. Assault guns can because, while they are not breakthrough weapons, they can move along with the infantry providing fire support, particularly against hard targets.
I have a massive fetish for self-propelled field guns, you see.
>posts t34-85
>room 206
>Shota tank
Why hasn't Japan made a show out of this?
>Leave Germany to me.
Better chance that they'll survive and eventually grow into veterans
Should they give them the Pz3s instead so that they have no chance?
They should have had mixed crews of veterans and babby's
Fug, I meant to post this ironic t-35 image
You don't just die when your tank gets knocked out.
Yes I'm sure the majority of inexperienced tank crews safely evacuated their knocked-out tanks
Probably more likely they had a veteran command vehicle/tank to direct the group
Used by whom? The Stug was pretty much the only tank Finland had in the war and they certainly used it like a tank whatever that means.
>The Stug was pretty much the only tank Finland had in the war
*blocks your path*
What's this, a modification of a captured tank for ants?
Larping as spartans
Don't know why, I just really like the Cromwell tank.
This absolute boy
Matildas are beautiful things.
