What was, in YOUR opinion, the best tank of WW II?

Answer 1

There was and is no question, after winning the Battle of Kursk it won the war. As a result our inferior M4 Sherman's and M26 Pershing were modified and it was a catch up to roughly the release of the M48 or M60 Sheridan. The T34 was the largest mass production, independent running wheel and large enough caliper cannon to fight even the Super Tiger. God bless you and the Southern People.

Answer 2

German Mk. V Panther

The Panther was a medium tank with decent speed, satisfactory reliability, heavy 80mm sloped armor, and good firepower. The Panther's high velocity 75mm gun could penetrate the armor of all Allied tanks, making it a lethal adversary. The tank's top speed was 28 MPH. The Panther's design featured a torsion bar suspension system and interleaved wheels, which allowed it to go practically anywhere. Some 4814 Panthers were produced before the end of the war.

It was a particularly dangerous foe for the American, Canadian and British Sherman tanks, which were simply no match for the Panther. And the Panther was faster, more reliable, more maneuverable and could go more places than its larger running mate, the Tiger tank. Its sloped armor gave it nearly the immune zone of the heavier Tiger.

Had Germany won the war, I believe that the Panther would today have a service record and longevity comparable to that achieved by the Russian T-34. As they say, winning is everything.

Answer 3

The Russian T-34.

Answer 4

Khalkin Gol in 1939, the place a huge jap tension of the Kwantung military in Manchuria replaced into destroyed by making use of a smaller yet extra stepped forward Soviet tension. This conflict in fact ended the Soviet-jap border skirmishes, to verify that the army's Northern Faction misplaced out to the joint military-army Southern Faction in figuring out what Japan's strategic course may be in line with the yank embargo. With the Southern Faction triumphing out (using concept of Soviet potential and Anglo-American weak point), the invasions of Malaya and the Philippines and the attack on Pearl Harbor have been performed. the only different rather decisive land engagement in the Pacific conflict may be Guadalcanal, which broke the decrease back of the jap army and the expeditionary jap land forces. in spite of the fact that, i don't possibly think of Guadalcanal replaced lots - Japan replaced into doomed by making use of that factor besides (i might argue that Japan replaced into continuously doomed). Kokoda music might count extensive style, or the conquest of Malaya or of the Philippines, yet back, i think of Japan replaced into doomed from the initiating. this is likewise why i'm unable to ascertain any of the different land engagements being that important or decisive - Japan ought to not have gained at Tarawa or Iwo Jima or Okinawa, or perhaps extra desirable American casualties won't exchange the effect of the conflict or in all possibility even postpone it. They have been extensive battles, and the land they captured replaced into generally important, yet as quickly as we had bypassed Iwo Jima, it does not have particularly replaced the effect of the conflict.

Answer 5

well although I'd like to say it was American well sadly compared to other tanks shermans had pretty low fire power and armor

the best tank I think is the Pz.Kfw "Maus" this tank goes into the category of super heavy tank
the tank was armed with a 150mm or 128mm gun, and a 75mm coaxial gun
first of all 150mm is like bigger than modern tank canon, and 75mm is probably the biggest tank canons of of any deployed tank
the tank was pretty experimental cause its so huge and impossibly hard to transport

Answer 6

For Germany it was the Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf E, SdKfz 181, Tiger.

For Russia it was the IS-2.

Answer 7

Royal Tiger as far as sheer firepower and armour went, but the production capabilities of the US and USSR triumphed easily. As far as medium tanks go, the Panther, but German production was lacking.

Answer 8

Definitely the SCUBA tank. It allowed for subsurface maintenance of ship hulls and kept the American fleet afloat longer. Better maintenance meant ships at sea longer, and we outlasted the other naval forces.

Answer 9

The Tiger, hands down.

Answer 10

Probably, the Panzer was the best tank of WWII.
