What's Your Ugliest and Most Beautiful Tank of WW2?

[Forlorn_Hope]

Good thing nobody had mentioned this tank before, because it certainly beats all of yours 



The M24 Chaffee isn't going to take out the panther or the tiger, but it sure looks more awesome.

This is why I would bring my Panzershreck then make a barbecue for everyone.

Enough with your damn nationalism of the past... German lost the war... there tank, there weapons was not enough great against allied stuff. Yeah right they made some stuff really badass like panther... but one thing we can learn about war is technology will not give victory...

And your grandaddy was a               in an SS divison... they were son of a   who help hitler evil plan. Damned revisionnist...

What the hell is that?

[Torenico]

Thats a Alkett-Raumgerat

Some kind of Miner Roller, never saw service.

Spend all of its life on Kummersdorf, were it was found by the Soviet forces.

The High Command ordered the project to be stopped, too outdated/Slow for 1944 and it was left there.

The soviet forces placed it in Kubinka, after some trials.

I think the, thing, had a extra wheel on its back, but it seems that, its not there..

Still, a very unique piece of history!

[VonMudra]

From what I know, it was meant to be a high speed recon vehicle....

I love the looks of French tanks, they look amazing. I can't really think of an ugly tank. I can of strange tanks.

T10 Mine Exploder for example, I laughed so hard when I first saw it some years ago.

Nope, that is definitly a cromwell.  Comets have return rollers for the tracks.

Anyways, since its going this way: Centurion > all German armour

It is nor a Comet, nor a Cromwell, nor a Charioteer. I think it's some Israeli conversion they did themselves, not sure. Anyway, about the return rollers, there where Comets without return rollers   Early versions.

Oh so we retort to this type of problems around here. So? My grand father was just a MG42 machine gunner that fought in the Eastern Front, the Ardennes and in so more parts of Europe. Did he help Hitler's evil plans? No...Did he commit war crimes? No...he was just a soldier doing his duty for his coutry. Just to making that clear; my earlier comment was just a joke.

You can continue with the topic now.

It is some modified cromwell, alot of the tanks at that Israeli museum look odd. But Eat Uranium is right. The comets had return rollers, a different shaped turret and a new shape gun mantlet.

**EDIT** Just did some searching and aparently its just been fitted with a dummy gun. It is a cromwell.

OffT:
Joining the ss das reich isn't a meaningless choice(except for the forced enlist)
Waffen SS aren't soldier, they are milician of the nsdap.
You don't need to have your nsdap card but you fought for the ideology. You joined in by opportunism or by ideology.

He didn't commit war crimes but he did help or was nazi.
In time of peace, the waffen ss role was to crush any german/occupied people revolt(not all the german was nazi and this is the reason why the power need waffen ss as super policemen to crush revolt, things police can't do ) or army revolt.
In time of war, the waffen ss fought for the army (they weren't in the army), borrowed by the nsdap.

Sure, the army was pro-nazi (ss prefered the army compared to the waffenss ...) and has commited crimes, but it was 12 millions of enlist men (or 18 i don't remember, but with that number you can easily found criminal in it) compared to 400 000 german volunteers (i don't remember the exact number or german native) + nazi foreign nationalists craps fighting for the nsdap first.

I certainly can't reduce this very complex subject in 3 paragraphs, but what is sure is that the waffen ss aren't "soldier" like the other and weren't fighting for their "vaterland". This crappy idea is an other great idea of the post war nazi to give them a new virginity.

Perhaps alakazou shouldn't have been so picky. But your answer smells bad imo.

PS: oh yeah i'm a little bit off, but let's say that after what i experience at filefront forum, i'm taking this subject seriously.


OnT:

the ugliest:
any rushed tank like the arl44


the most beautifull:
perhaps the amd201 because of his modern design

[Paasky]

Pretty:

So rugged & russian. It can FUCK YOU UP while looking like it'll fall apart at any moment.

Runner up:

My true love, I could play counterattack-1940 all day tank camping for that & cruising around.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ugly:

It was a close tie between this & the Sherman. Both just look so generic.
