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

[Yustax]

Churchill? Ugliest? Come on.

It looks like a crocodile. And THAT one could bite, on any occasion. It carried every sorts of things from pontoone bridges 2 cords of woods 2 any thing u wanted to transport. It could carry, what, 20 poeple? Traverse any terrain with ease, especially hills and ditches.

And should i mention the Crocodile version with flame? -----> Now that's RAWR!

It is horrible, for me the most beautiful tanks are: Hetzer, Jagdpanther, Panther, Jagdpanzer IV and Tiger (Yes, I know that the Jagdpanther and Jagdpanzer are tank destroyers, but technicism gets tiresome).

[Captain Pyjama Shark]

Those are all the gross fat and squat looking ones.

In my (that is, Churchill's) defense I have 2 say that both JagdPanther and JagdTiger are big and obese,cumbersome and slow, and if they wanna hit something they can only hit it in front facing the target.

The Churchill on the other hand was low, much harder target, it could mount a mortar cannon 2 swap for it's normal AT cannon and it was an infantry support tank. All the German tanx were built so that noone could ride on em, nor carry ANYTHING.

OR because they are german and the churchill is not german?

No it isnt. Jagdpanther was very fast, good protection with around 170mm of frontal armor because of the slopped armor; the strong gun of the Tiger 2 and it was able to penetrate all types of tanks in WW2 of the allies. The concept of the Jagdpanther makes it for me the best tank destroyer of the war.

No, tha has nothing to do with it. I also like the looks of english Comet tank.

Jagdpanther is considered the top tank destroyer of the entire war.  As Yustax says, it was very, VERY fast, great protection, WONDERFUL gun and optics, low profile, and above all, the lack of a turret does not make it a poor tank, considering the Jagdpanther was purely used as an ambush tank.  It didn't NEED to have a big clunky turret to destroy its low profile and create weak spots.

[Captain Pyjama Shark]

It was also obese and probably died of an heart attack before it was forty.

It was the Andre the Giant of WW2 and could knock out all type of tanks in WW2.

Simple said= Great firepower, armor to withstand standard allied AT tank guns, Great speed, great mobility and a MAYBACH HL230 PETROL ENGINE ROARING WITH 690HP

MAYBACH HL230 PETROL ENGINE ROARING WITH 690HP

Which breaks down all the time, since it is the same V12 in a car, just with enlargened displacement.

[Mspfc Doc DuFresne]

M18 Hellcat was probably the best tank destroyer in the American conception; for the European type, I'd have to agree with the Jagdpanther though.

Its important to make the distinction between American pattern and Eurasian pattern TDs though.

[Desertfox]

I would never say the Jagdpanther is the prettiest, because it's actually quite ugly

Take that back!!! Its the most beaitiful piece of equipment ever, after the Tiger.

Tiger is only meh also. I think the Panzer 3 is the best lookin german tank. That or the 4 without the skirt. I like the Cromwell though, and the T34/85.

The JPz 38(t) is more beautiful than the JagdPanther, simply because it maintaints its lines all around.  The JP on the other hand suffers becuase it hase that nasty verticle line at the back of the superstructure.  Also, the mantlet looks quite bad IMHO.

I feel that the best looking of the assault guns and TDs made by Germany is the StuG with the 7.5cm L24 and no schurzen.
