Hey guys,

Do you have a "Best of Tank" IN the game?

We all know the Panthers reputation but does it hold up in CM?

Which American/UK/Russian/German/other tank do you like?

Divide it up by year if you have several.

How about the best "looking" tank in your opinion?
Maybe one was a bad tank design but boy it looked cool!

I love the little Hetzer's and Jagpanther's TD look and have been partial to the Allied Honey for a long time.

What say you?

For Germans:

Surprise surprise, Panthers :D Although I like to use Stugs too.

And for Russians, T34/85's are weapons of choice. :devil:

:p

Not this old chestnut ;)

I would have to go with the panther and the pziv jagdpanzer lang, both are fast and deadly.

Russian armour well it has to be the t34

allied armour? Is that meant to be funny?

The allied tank would have to be the Firefly.I know it's armour is crap but at least you can match the Tiger and Panther for fire power,as long as you get the first shot of course :)

German : Panther G

Russian : T34/85

Best compromise between mobilty, firepower and protection IMHO... The effectiveness of these tanks also depends of the quality of the crew :rolleyes:

Regarding the T34 (any model) - in my experience all you need to counter them is an equal number of regular PzIVHs, the superior optics make a big difference in terms of shots on target and no need for expensive Panthers! :devious:

So how about the look of a tank?
The Lee/Grant was interesting.

The Tiger has always been my favorite. Give it room to roam and a platoon of Grenadiers for support and it's untouchable.

German's: The Hetzer, small, compact but deadly.
Russian's: Probably the su85 or the su100.
American's: Pershing or Jackson.
British: Ugly as hell, but the Churchill VIII.

I love stuart's design.

The best universal tank is --- "OT-34/85", jah!

And for germans --- Hetzer is pretty good besides PzIV.. doesnt bog at least :)

The Hetzer doesn't bog? Is that a proven fact in CM?

Now "Shock Trooper's" response was what I was looking for!

I like the SU's but they're ROF is horrendously slow. If you don't connect on the first shot you may be in for some trouble.

Hetzer has extremely low ground pressure at least, bogging is definitely the biggest prob with other german tanks to my mind..
