Hey /k/ whats your favourite tank? My personal favourite is KV-2 because of it's use in history.
This little shit. Cheap, fast. More or less bullet-proof. Would have kicked ass as a cavalry tank in World War One Part 2.
>>33845441
i like 'em too.
they're magically delicious
That's not even a KV chassis. That's like an IS-4M or some other Iosif Stalin body.
I just like stupid designs that make my dick hard.
M103 gets my rocks off for whatever reason. Starship is a close second.
>>33845441
i must go
my planet needs me
You can't not like this tank
>>33846692
It's like migit porn
It kind of a piece of shit but I cant help myself from loving the PT-76.
Burstyn 1913 Tank. Designed, but never built. Arguably better than a lot of WWI tanks in terms of design.
>>33847575
scale model
the wheeled 'arms' were supposed to aid in crossing trenches
>>33845441
Looks like the hull of an IS-2 mod. 1944
M67 "Zippo"
Good for fried chicken
Ram
>>33845441
The T-54/55 Tank. Something about its robustness and Ubiquity.
what's that one tank that was filmed driving over those vertical logs
it could go faster over roads without its tracks on, right?
>>33845441
It literally looks like a tracked fridge.
Tetrarch!
Cute, small and fast!
You can even paraglide the bloody thing behind enemy lines.
>>33851236
>>33847126
>beautiful
>>33850403
BT-5/7? I think thats what it was
T32 is definitely number one on my list, chieftain mk 2-5, and the M103. There's probably more but I'm not really thinking
I frequently have fantasies of showing up an action movie where a bunch of gangsters are killing each other in a warehouse with Uzis, and just killing all of them with the Hotchkiss gun while their rounds harmlessly bounce off the century old steel
>>33846692
I remember reading in a book years ago that the whole idea for them was to basically blast buildings, barricades, and fortifications the fuck out of the way because germans were struggling in house to house actions(namely stalingrad), to circumvent that they re-purposed a naval launcher to chuck bigass rockets.
But by the time they were in service they were too few and too far from the eastern front to be of use, and were pressed into the defense of germany. Low rate of fire and pretty shit accuracy made them only circumstantially effective on the defensive, although one Sturmtiger was supposedly able to cripple 4-5 Shermans with one accidentally well placed shot.
>itt war thunder players who only know names and general profile of a tank
>>33851676
Goddamnit, now it's in my head. Now whose gonna be on the quad .50?
>>33847126
*crew dies*
>>33851751
What's your favorite? Mine's the Sherman because (this triggers the vatnik) M4A3E8 > T-34-85
>>33850403
Most tanks with the Christie suspension could do the trackless thing.
>>33851807
The vatnik is triggered. Enjoy your Tommy cooker, faggot.
>>33851877
>accusing the M4 Sherman of being a death trap
>isn't aware that the T-34 used single base propellant for its shells
>isn't aware that single base propellant fucking explodes when it catches fire, instead of burning like the double base propellant the US used
Also, wet stowage.
>>33845441
>KV-2
>Can't traverse overweight turret on sloped ground
>Small non-penetrating shots can easily knock overweight turret off turret ring
Fucking why?
Went to the war museum in Ottawa.
Stuart is bigger than I thought.
I've always like the A43 Black Prince. Kind of a pointless tank since it came so late into the war and universal tanks like the Centurion were about to make their entrance. I just really like the idea of a big ol' though Churchill with that powerful 17-lb gun, though.
>>33847652
hull is from an is-4
>>33850709
where do you buy your refrigerators?
>>33853028
Jaghpanzer is genuinely very short. my head was above the roof.
It's so cute.
>>33853427
you're pretty tall
>>33847086
All hail the mighty 120mm cannon!
>>33853456
Not really.
I love tanks, they're so nice. I wanna snuggle a tank.
>>33853124
Fucking based
>>33852103
Because the biggest tank the Germans had was a Panzer 3 with a 3cm or 75mm infantry gun and a 152mm HE shell can turn a modern battle tank into a crater.
>>33851236
Didn't the tetrarch distort its tracks to turn? I vaguely remember reading about that
>>33853551
>and a 152mm HE shell can turn a modern battle tank into a crater.
not quite
>>33853028
>>33853427
>>33853500
Nice, Canadian War Museum is comfy as fuck. Their artillery display was pretty cool too, some big ass German guns captured in WWI.
>>33853028
Well, all US tanks are kinda big, mainly because they used fuckhueg engines.
And to answer the question, I like all tanks ,they're all beautiful in some way. May it be the PT-76, the Panzer III (especially the M and N versions!), the FT-17, the Chieftain, the T-90AM... they're all cute as fuck and I want one of each.
>>33853810
A LOTTA CALIBER FOR A FIELD GUN
>>33853813
Tanks are cute. I wanna boop a tank snooty.
>>33853852
A big shell 4 U
>>33853906
Stug had a little accident :(
>>33853956
Sad German 7.7cm field gun. Captured at Vimy Ridge AFAIK
>>33847574
>Kind of
Well, you like what you like, I suppose.
>>33853986
No tears field gun, now you protect the smiles of children. ;_;
>>33854054
FT-17 a cute
>>33854066
>yfw that's an m1917
>>33854073
they are based on the same design tho
>>33854079
indeed. but in that case m1917 a cute, too, then. and that would be proper
>>33854066
She is cross with panzer 2
>>33854091
I dunno how they fit three guys in little panzer ii
>>33845441
Just wonder, what is on the photo? Because that is not a KV-2. KV-2, is a boxy turret with 152 mm gun, on top of KV-1 chasis. Here, we have IS-2 chasis, more than that, its a newest of IS-2 with rationally angled single-piece glasis.
>>33854218
a reproduction kv-2
>>33853783
That was done by a 122mm hit, not 152mm.
>>33854218
Drop it. Its not even IS-2. That`s IS-4.
>>33854223
So, like in old soviet films, where german tanks were "reproduced", using T-55 and BMP`s... That is sad.
>>33845441
T-54/55.
The best ones are the tanks that have been pulled out of decades long storage to fight todays wars. Something about old armor being useful in modern conflicts.
>>33854224
>filename
>>33851676
I like your style anon
>>33853783
iirc wasn't this picture from a direct hit by a rocket arty?
I have personally laid my hands on the last surviving A7V in the world "Mephisto"
Panzer 4 h. The skirts show that she is pure.
>>33856189
Dun goofed here is pick of tankfu
>>33845441
It is a shame the Maus never made it into combat.
Yes I understand that the Maus is a impractical, slow as shit, waste of time and money but I can't help it.
>>33845441
*sighs*
>>33856224
They should use tha Japanese armored vehicle that's a giant bush as shrubberies
>>33850403
>>33856224
Also I have a thing for oscillating turrets.
i like all the tanks. qt smol for instance
*teleports behind you*
>>33856285
okay i'm new here but what the fuck is that
>>33845441
>My personal favourite is KV-2 because of it's use in history.
It's ITS and not IT'S -- if you don't want to say "IT IS" then it's ITS, understand?

Sweden
M60. Good tank.
>>33856306

They used to.
The Comet.
T-72M4CZ
Gotta love that Czechnology!
>>33856316
>>33856353
Well they tried
>>33856400
They succeeded.
Hello, fellow tanks.
>>33856503
>mfw 75 cm stug
>>33856503
so this tank could be defeated by standing at a slight angle to either side, right
>>33856532
as can all tanks?
>>33845441
That's an IS-2 mod.44 hull.
Is that a shoop or a prop?
>>33856628
prop
>>33856503
Small for 75cm
>>33851897
Also:
>Crew comfort
>APU
>Rubber tires and track blocks
>Human-sized hatches
>Padded seats
>loads of optics
>hatches large enough to use in a hurry
Even the Soviets loved the Emcha it actual use.
>>33853340

Swedish turretless tank.

>>33854294
Filename is incorrect.
>>33845441
:^)
Challenger doesn't get enough love
>>33845441
The KV-2 looks like someone lovingly drew up a good tank design with modern body lines, only to have it taken away by the government and let Ivan the thresher mechanic do the rest and screech "TURRET IS FINE"
>>33856335
>now house is shooting at us
>fuck
starship a cute
>>33845441
>Sucked ass so badly that it couldn't turn it's turret on inclines
>Was slow as fuck
>They took what ever KV-2's and converted them back to KV-1's
Good "history" indeed
>>33858082
What is the battle of Raiseiniai
Ug-dorable.
>Same gun as T29
>Turret rear is more thicker than the turret front
>Almost as tall if not taller than the Maus
>Big tonks are best tonks
>>33858100
Oh WOWZERS! It fought against 200 germans when they lost almost 700 or more during the battle.
Just because it did good or average in one battle doesn't make it BEST TONK EVUR.
>>33858166
did good? A single one stopped the entire german 6th Panzer division for an antire day
>>33845441
|KV-2 because of it's use in history.
As a very effective paperweight.
>>33847652
Ot, svoloch.
>>33858176
Yeah, because they parked it in a bottleneck and ran away.
>>33858226
no it fucking didn't
>>33856755
WE'VE FOUND A TANK DESTROYER, MAY WE BURN HER?

>>33856300
Interestingly, this error occurs in the constitution of the United States.
https://youtu.be/_dhPW_ksFcM
I know it actually was a piece of shit but on paper it was a fucking beast. I any allied tank had the misfortune to stumble on one in working condition they must have shat their pants. And it looked really menacing.
>no m18 hellcat
what the fuck is this shit. This is by far the best tank
>>33856400
it's a good tank actually. only real minus is that you have to turn the whole vehicle to aim, but lack of turret makes it's profile much lower.
>>33858900
Can't tell if b8
Cool as fuck little machine though
>>33858176
>Uses an extreme minority and very rare example of when it was useful to justify all KV-2's as being good
>>33856775
That's an Iosif Stalin series tank with a fake turret, hence why it looks mildly nice on the bottom.
>>33845441
>Post WWII JS2 hull
>Mock up KV2 turret
>Getting fooled by a movie prop
Do you even panzerfahren?
