As for me, it has to be the Cromwell
+ fast
+ nimble
+ low profile
- not very effective in head to head combat (against frontal armor)

It allows me to get to places quicker, not a fan of spending all my free time with virual travelling. If I were, I'd be playing nothing but PR  :D
Sneaking behind bushes and outflanking heavy German stuff only to shoot it in its butt, there's no better experience than that  ;D
I also like all light vehicles because of their great mobility, but Cromwell is the best of both worlds.

Which one is your favourite?

Edit: A poll would be nice, but I don't know if it can list so many vehilces.
Edit2: IT CAN  :o

why is there a sherman jumbo and a chaffee?
I´ve never used them, because they arent ingame :P

I can say i hate the 76mm sherman because it seems broken to me.

My all time favourite tank ingame is the Panzer IV Ausf. H:

- sideskirts that hold of zooks and piats
- its roughly equal to the panther anyways
- if you shoot a tank you actually achieved something
- i dont like to lose panthers

Some of them are still WIP.
edit: All WIP vehicles should be gone by now

Those are all completly different classes of tanks, armoured cars, flak tracks, and mobile arty...its technically impossible to have a favourite out of that, since they are all completly different.  Its like being shown a variety of guns from the 1700s-modern day, and being asked which is your fave....


So, I'll do it this way:

Armoured Car:  Puma

Flak track:  Wirbelwind, but I look forward to the Mobelwagon sometime.

Mobile arty: Wespe, and when its eventually ingame, Hummel

Light tank:  Stuart

Cruiser tank:  Crusader MkIII

Medium tank:  Panzer IV H

Tank destroyer:  Stug 40G, but I really look forward to the Jagdpanther and Jagdpanzer.

Heavy tank:  Never used the KT yet, so I'll go with Tiger.

I didn't want to ask "what's your favourite big-gun-vehicle"

The correct term would be AFV.

Matilda.

 It might not be as good as tiger or panther, but on the other hand it doesn't need to fight them. Matilda dominates in maps it's in. I just love to play round on sidi rezeigh with matilda without dieing even once.

Panther. I just get this warm and fuzzy feeling everytime I fire that gun... and it's a hell of a AA as well!

StuG 40 Ausf. G

It's still my favourite, I just really like the looks of this tank destroyer, it's so stylish! Plus this version got a MG to deal with pesky little infantry  ;D

Though I rarely tank and if I tank I usely take the tank that has the biggest armour because I will always get hit first. On Villers though, I always take a StuG if I can, I know some awesome StuG-spots, one of them is behind a ditch overlooking a certain road to a flagzone, perfect ambush spot for any StuG  ;D

+ Sexy
+ Good gun
+ Relatively low profile
- Noisy
- Tad too slow

But still, I rather hunt tanks as infantry  ;D

M13/40 (Wonder why there are two M13s in your list... and a Hetzer.. and two Wirbelwind.)

+ rapes british shit in most of the maps its in.
+ Sights, extremly accurate (you must master them).
+ Gun, not bad.
+ Double Machinegun rocks, plus you can fire One, and while you reload it you can fire the other, while you reload it you can fire the first one: in theory, no reloading, constant fire = tons of enemies dead.
+ little bastard, easy to hide.
- Armor kinda shitty
- speed.
