Challenger2, the meanest motherfucker to ever walk this earth. Weighing in at 85tonnes she is the heaviest tank ever to enter service you should feel humbled to live on the same planet as this motherfucker.
She has the best armour protection of any modern tank, similar firepower to all other modern tanks, worse onroad mobility due to massive weight but the best off-road mobility of any tank due to the brilliant suspension design and the ability to control each track independently.
Whether or not you agree with me that this is the best tank in the world you have to admit she is a mean motherfucker and on par with everything else out there.
Having driven multiple tanks nothing feels the same as Challenger2, it has so much torque compared to anything else out there that it just never gets bogged down in any terrain imaginable.[/QUOTE]
It's not 85 tons. Also, 1200 HP V12 diesel vs. 1500 HP gas turbine. Hmm.

Still incredible, I'll admit.

The Austrian Kuerassier. I think it actually looks pretty damn neat.

It is 85tonnes after we have attached the streetfighter kit. The 62.5tonnes figure on Wikipedia is when the tank is in its gun tank configuration and having 1500hp is pointless if your suspension limits you to 72kp/h when you could achieve 100kp/h with proper suspension. My CR2 can reach 65km/h on the road but I know some others can reach 70km/h due to a non-limited top speed while Abrams is limited and has less torque so worse offroad.
[QUOTE=Zombii;37040190]Challenger 2 is fucking incredible, but according to wikipedia it's only 62.5 tons (where the Merkava is 65, and the King Tiger is 68)? I dunno if wikipedia is right, just thought I'd point that out.
Still a mean machine.[/QUOTE]
Like I said to the last guy Wikipedia is the figure while it is a gun tank, with the current Streetfighter kit most weigh about 85tonnes.
Here's a picture of me looking very casual next to a T34-58.

There's something about Russian tanks that just does something for me (although I seem to be hiding it pretty well in that picture. Loose-fitting cargoes, fucking godsend).

German A7V Sturmpanzerwagen
This thing looks like a box on tracks, but this thing was armed with 6 Maxim machineguns and a 57mm artillery-piece. It was nicknamed "The Moving Fortress" by the Brits (Too bad only about 20 of them were built.)

That's actually not quite far from the real colors
All these tanks and not a single Pershing, disappointed.

I'm partial to the Tiger, personally. The first Pershing ever to go down went down to a Tiger crew.

Funny story about this King Tiger.
Apparently the crew got spooked by bazooka fire and the driver threw it into reverse. He ran the King Tiger into a house and it was immobilized. The crew just abandoned it and hitched a ride on another tank to continue their advance.

Sorry, but I love Advance Wars. Your picture just reminded me of it.
It's a captured Renault superheavy tank. The French Army paraded those around France as propaganda tools and they were never used in combat. Only like, several were made before France was occupied.

It's called the Char 2C and It's a tremendously flawed design,Weighing in at 69 tonnes with the thickest armour at only 45mm plus It can't even aim at it's rear with that huge superstructure blocking it.
