                        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)

                        I'd say the T-35. Almost like a destroyer on tracks. Although I think only 4 were made.

                        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.

                        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.

                        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!

                        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)
