(Wonder why there are two M13s in your list... and a Hetzer.. and two Wirbelwind.)
Could've sworn I had removed those once already ???

Churchill MKIV     (what else?)

+Epic armor and the only allied tank in normandy wich properly survives hits
+Epic 6PDR gun wich damages almost all tanks
+BESA MG's are epic
+It has an offspring with even more armor wich still hassent appeared in FH2 despite that it already should have had
-Not enough of them ingame
-i am fairly sure that if they took porn off the internet, there would only be one website left and it would be called bring back the porn "Perry cox, Scrubs.

+ 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.

Yo dawg! We heard you like machineguns so we put a machine gun next to a machine gun so you can shoot while you reload!

Also noted that there are two different churchills in the game: one with 6pdr and one with 75mm gun. From those i prefer the 6pdr because it can one-shot Tiger to the rear with APDS and a KT with 2 APDS rounds.
I'd rather play Kimble with my ass!

Firefly - it simply shots every axis tank with 1 shot! Why not Panther? Firefly has better camouflage  ;)

+Excellent against AT guns
+Tank is fun to drive
+HE ammo looks awesome
-HE ammo kind of sucks
-Entire tank kind of sucks

76mm(W) Sherman.

Seriously, better than any german tank in game. Can one shot everything and can stand 75mm APs.

M10 TD FTW, I love that little bugger... it's fast and its 76.2mm M7 gun can pack a punch :) Plus, I laugh at the enemy infantry trying to shoot me out of it. ;)

The Tiger is my favorite tank.  If you are smart with it you can just kill everything.  Soon I hope to vote for the IL2 Sturmovik as favorite armoured vehicle.

Sure, but if your enemy is smart, he can run circles around you  ;D

Panther's sloped armor (Which is very hard to code due BF2 engine) is the cause of that, but you CAN one-shot a Panther in the front, but you have to hit the gun mantlet.
76mm(W) Sherman.

I just used standard AP against a Tiger on Ramelle and hit it in the tracks or side, not sure, got a solid hit, but didn't kill it.

My favorite tank is the Polish TK3 Tankette. I don't know exactly how effective it was. I love the way it looks. The Poles faired quite well considering that they were sandwiched between two fronts. German MK 1-4's are really poor designs and were inferior to heavy French tanks. I don't know whether TK3's used High Velocity Shells, but I doubt it.

EDIT: Oops, I didn't know that this thread was only about in game tanks. I have barely played this mod because of loading map problems.

Atleast when you've got plenty of those and only like 2 tanks to kill :P

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

this. i dont count the tigers i kill with the cromwell, but a lot
