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)

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? Wink [;)]

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 ... Tongue [: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 Evil [}:)]

(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!! Tongue [: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.

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)
