Re: Favourite German Tank?

I would have to say the PzIII. A good tank up to 43 and then used in a variety of roles to the end of the most, most notably the Stug III.

Yer... Always had a soft spot for the Panzer III. Looks kinda cute too... And StuGs are just perfect!

But I gotta go with the Tiger I. No real choice for me... You know what Im like!

Re: Favourite German Tank?

I like the Panther, became one of the best if not the best tank of the war.

I voted for the Panther. It's what I would draw (if I could draw) if someone said draw a tank. It had it's shortcomings, but towards the end of the war was coming together.

Re: Favourite German Tank?

I'd vote for any German tank seen through the sights of a 17 Pdr.

Tiger Tank.

It was revered, as in open combat it was the best there was in it's time.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
