[QUOTE=Tarver;37067399]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.[/QUOTE]
It still looks badass though

really interdasting design actually, it was to be pulled and dropped like a glider.
Reminds me of the TB-3 air-drop tank-thing.

i've always found it interested how koenigtiger was translated to king tiger, while it really means bengal tiger. i see why, it just interests me.
also, the tank dropping plane thing reminds me how in ArmA II ACE you can attach a tank to a helicopter with sling rope and then drop it from a really high altitude, it'd get a [I]little[/I] damaged, but it would be perfectly fine. i remember my pilot got shot down and i was ramboing in a bradley and i would keep dropping in an out of consciousness.
I will always love the Cromwell.

Ohhhh I see what you mean by 'turretless', you meant crewless turret right?

Oh damn. I wrote that one wrong, fix'd. And yes, it has a crewless turret

The T-34-85 is another favourite.

It sure looks like the CV90/Strf 90
But if it is, it's probably an export, because we put worse guns on the ones we sell to other countries

Panzer 61
Its hard to believe this is actually an M60 Patton.

Patton M60-2000. Pretty much an upgrade to make them mini-abrams. American military doesnt adopt this and this was aimed at other countries that still used the M60 that may be threatened by the bigger russian tanks.
[img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3542/5732759576_acaa201fef.jpg[/img]
M60A3 would most likely be one of my favorite tanks next to the M26 Pershing and the british Centurion as well as the Firefly and M4A3(76)E8
SO THATS THE SUPER PATTON
oh my god

Interesting tank design
Just learned the Challenger 2 has a BV.
That stands for Boiling Vessel.
The Brits got to have their tea, even on the battlefield.
I believe the challenger also carries a mobile toilet in it too, but what was more of a surprise to me is that the merkava has troop transportation capabilities. If anyone has a picture of that troop compartment please share.

Those last two images are RC Models :v:. If you want one, I recommend matomart as they have consistent customer service, Heng Long tanks are dirt cheap but not as nice as Tamiya
[QUOTE=Disotrtion;37091847]Just learned the Challenger 2 has a BV.

We've had BV's in every tank since like 1945 (with the Centurion being the first one to have them).
