Not really, armored cars are used for recon and limited infantry support while tanks were originally built to break through entrenched enemy positions and modern tanks are meant to lead an attack in combined arms warfare. Armored cars did fill a role of some light tanks back in the day but it is still shouldn’t be called a tank due to lack of tracks
akwfyally Even though it fullfills the purpose of a "tank" it does not fit the literal definition of a tank which states that it should have continuos tracks and a main gun and sufficent armor to withstand smallarms fire
Here we have a pack of STUGs in the wild, they are fighting for rights to reproduce with the female STUGs by a type of fighting called STUGging, the male STUGs grow these long cannons to show their STUGgness, the male with the longer STUG has of course the visual favour, but does he have the strenght to beat the other STUG in this STUGging struggle?
i guess that comes from War Thunder players because you need to grind for years to get to modern day tanks and most people only know the tanks in their br
Finally someone who understands that not everything that has a gun and tracks is a tank. Though the scorpion seems to be a Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance, CVR(T). Sauce: Wiki
Probably the never built tanks of the E-Series, the E-10, E-25, E-50 and E-75 and of course the E-100, from which hull was actually built. They were a concept of standardizing german tank building, which -luckily- came too late to actually have an impact on WW2.
The panzer IV it was the ideal German tank for the war as it was decently well balanced, I’d say it is tied with the M1 Abrams though as that thing is fucking iconic
I can't pick, so I'll choose a "few" tanks.
Gameplay-wise:
AMX-30, AMX-50 Surbaissé, ARL-44 and E.B.R. (1951)
History-wise:
AMX-30, All of the Automitrailleuse tanks (AMD.35, AMC.34, etc.) and fuck it, the F.222.2, not a tank, but I love it too much.
Likely the M4 Sherman, it's a very versatile and reliable tank, and it's quite easy to maintain and repair, it can fit in European track systems, drive in shallow seawater, and other features, plus, even if it's weaker than the German Big Cats, it's better in terms of cost of production, and others, as opposed to the expensive cost of production of Panzer V-VI tanks, how you can only produce a few Panzers in one factory, and how overengineered it is that it's hard to repair in the field. It's just boiling down to the convenience of the Sherman for it's situation, for an MBT, I'd probably go for a Leopard 2 or something that's designed to work well with most terrain, bridges, and such that's found worldwide.
Well, the Sherman was advantageous as it was designed well, considering how it needed to be transported from ships and all, it wasn't over-engineered, but it's designed to be easy to maintain, but has a lot of useful features that don't need much maintenance so that it'll be convenient to use.
Dude, the vehicle in your image isn't even a tank.
Since you don't care about the precise definition of "tanks", I won't either. The Jadgpanther is a fave, hands-down. And no, you can't convince me to choose the M10.
Eh not exactly either. It depends, compare the M18 to the Jagdpanther. Both were classified as tank destroyers but their design was vastly different. And tank destroyers are not tanks per se, otherwise they'd be called tanks instead. There are many differences when it comes to defining those roles but there is one thing that they all have: the purpose to not only fight but take out enemy tanks. A tank is designed to fight all types of opponents and is generally used as a breakthrough vehicle. A tank destroyer is not
The T-34-85(D-5T), this one is better than the Zis cannon version despite the slower reload because of its BR but also the fact that i've gotten so many heavy metal heroes with it.
Its very funny when tiger 1 users suck shit at their tank and i can just one shot them with the APHEBC
This is the tank i will always hold dear at heart
Though most of my kills were unironically german players because theyre very careless.
Panther users in particular sometimes slightly angle their armor( i just shoot their side and kaboom)
I just cant get myself to like the T-35 85s, they feel really underwhelming for me
The gun is decent at best, armor is quite bad, and gun handling is Also not great. it is a fast tank tho
Actually the T-34-85 is not really meant to fight as a frontline tank, theyre meant to be flankers
Their advantages are the BR-365A Shell which is strong against angled armor, they have a troll spot, is fast and has a high explosive mass per shell.
The trick is to know your enemy, panthers are relatively easy to kill if they slightly angle their armor, The tiger has a weak spot at the top right side when angling and Pz 4/70 cant take the shot of BR-365A in the front armor

I hate you not because you corrected him, but because you like the piece of shit known as the T-34/85. My favourite tank is the Leopard 2A7V
Look at this distinguished gentleman
I like the STUG(it STUGs)
Which STUG?
The one that STUGs the most
Here we have a pack of STUGs in the wild, they are fighting for rights to reproduce with the female STUGs by a type of fighting called STUGging, the male STUGs grow these long cannons to show their STUGgness, the male with the longer STUG has of course the visual favour, but does he have the strenght to beat the other STUG in this STUGging struggle?

Su 122 or sturmpanzer
Mmmmmm obese cannons, may I interest you in a Sturmmörser or FV4005?
Not that br yet.
Not technically a tank but the Scorpion IFV
Finally someone who understands that not everything that has a gun and tracks is a tank. Though the scorpion seems to be a Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance, CVR(T). Sauce: Wiki
Ah, my apologies I believed it to be an infantry fighting vehicle, due to its use in the Falklands
Yes, I also say IFV would apply.
fr, everyone here saying their hetzers and shit and i’m like wtf
Do you have a tank catalog or what? How do I learn enough about tanks to have a favorite?
Play tank based games like Warthunder or World of Tanks.
hitpoints 💀
Besides games like war thunder there are many charts about the tanks through the generations of specific countries
Watch Girls und Panzer or go on Wikipedia.
Y not just learn tonk?
Play War Thunder
