                        The M4A3E2(76), known from one picture as the Cobra King, IIRC. A Shermy with thick armour and a competitive gun (well, better than the 75, at least). Or the KV-1 in a world populated with puny Pz-38ts and Pz-IIIs. With the Germans I'll always like the Pz-IV, 'twas a workhorse that stood by the Wermacht in sickness and in health!

                        Panther. A text book balance of the 3 key elements of a tank, armour, firepower, and manuverability (Speed). In my opinion anyways.

                        For me,
                        If I had to fight in it ...... Tiger I (this tank is more manuverable than most know, but I would need a gurantee of fuel and mainance at regula intevals).Evil [}:)]

                        American M10..... don't know ..... I have always liked it Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

                        For me it's the Panther. I think it is just a cool looking tank. I've walked around on the dec of one and on the ground around it etc and it's pretty good sized. Others were bigger w/ bigger guns etc but it is still my favorite. Eventually I'll have to build one.
