What's your most favourite and least favourite tanks ? why?

[KnightFandragon]

My Fav tanks would probably be:

GER: King Tiger, it has a huge gun and its got enough armor to withstand alot of hits...atleast on its front. Though it is slow, but thats just a minor detail, the KT isnt meant to move so much.

I hate all Assault guns though, they have no turret traverse and are easily flanked. I like a Tank that can atleast somewhat fire on the move where as a AG has to turn its whole body and what not.

USSR: Probably the KV85, it seems to have a pretty decent gun and it has enough armor to take a few hits. Also it isnt to pricy.

least fav here: T34/76..its gun doesnt seem to be that good and it bounces to much of some of the weirdest stuff

USA: M4A3E2 (76) W Jumbo It has good armor, good gun and it is an all around good tank =D

least fav: any of the stubby 75mm shermans, they are soooo bad vs tanks...isnt tanks is what your sposed to fight tanks w/?

UK: im not a fan of any of the British tanks, except maybe the Firefly or Centurion. I havent played the British enough really to know though

My favorite, however, is the KV-2. I would give it atleast a above average for its speed and reload speed. My least favorite tank is the T-34. It is too slow in everything.

The more I play this game the more and more I am finding out the T34/76 is quite a sad little tin can. Its gun is low velocity so its penetration is garb, its armor actually isnt that good....its worse then a sherman, guess that slope is what saved it, but probably not much. In game I have had 3 on 2 odds vs the PzrIII and I lose 2 tanks. THen the PzrIV just comes around the corner w/ its nice little 75mm and blows it away in 1 shot. The KV85 or T34/85 is soooo much better. Even the T34/57 is better for gun power...the 57 is like 20 points higher or so in penetration.

now ill let the thread get back on topic......

US Shermans weren´t designed to fight against other tanks, they were designed to act as infantry support. Enemy tanks were supposed to be knocked out by US Tank Destroyers and that´s why a Sherman most oftenly ends up burning when meeting a German tank. The 76mm armed Sherman were much better against enemy tanks but its high explosive shells were much weaker than the 75mm dittos. The best thing with the Sherman were that they were easy to drive, maintain and produce in large quantities.
