THis is an easy choice for me, I've always loved the Firefly. On Operation Totalize I wait for it to spawn in the northern most part of the base so i can take on the enemy tigers.

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

Me too...besides, I may add:

+ one shot STUG IV to the front
+ kill panthers in fog range
+ one shot tigers KTs, sometimes even in head to head combat
+ short spawn time
+ people don't stack in base and wait for it 8)

No one else likes matilda :(? Only tank in mod that actually IS inpenetrable by enemy tanks. Atleast on front.

                Panzer II

+There's always spare ones in the base to use
+Excellent against AT guns
+Tank is fun to drive
+HE ammo looks awesome
-HE ammo kind of sucks
-Entire tank kind of sucks

HAHA I thought exactly the same, love it because it sucks in game ;D

PzKpfw V Ausf. A "Panther" without skirts, cause it just looks better.

+ Highly powerful, accurate and manouverable main gun
+ Acceptable speed
+ Strong frontal armor
+ Mean and sexy looks
+ Sounds great (engine, hydraulic turret and most of all the main gun has a very powerful sound)
+ Not as hard to get as Tiger for example

- High profile
- Weak side armour

My fav Lighter vehicles is: Crusader Mk III AA
+ Good against planes
+ Can kill lots of infantry in little time
+ Good against light vehicles
- Weak armor
- Useless against at-inf and armor

My favorite tank is:  Sherman VC "Firefly"
+ Good against inf and tanks
+ Good speed
- Not so good armor

Purely based on gaming experience, my overall fave tanks are:

Allied:
Cromwell, for the earlier mentioned reasons. You just feel in control when driving that thing.
Axis:
Panter, same reasons, plus the awesome sounds it makes. It feels like you're on some Peter Fonda Easy Rider shit when you start that engine. Vrrrroomm!

But since I'm not a tanker per sé I mostly take tanks because I like the look of 'm. The Germans own everything design-wise. They had some bad-ass designers in those days.
Okay, the Panter simply is the most beautiful tank ever designed, but I have a preference for the ugly and/or less common ones:

Panzer IV (with sideskirts):
adequate tank overall , but it just looks so bad, in that Run DMC kind of way. You know, not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good!  ;)

Stuart
It looks like a kid designed it, and it has a tendency to roll over, but I just like driving around in it.

M3 Grant
Love this one because it's hella ugly and it gives you options (the turret or the big gun). Also love the fact that it's from that pre-war age where they still thought sticking simply more guns on a tank made sense. It is and feels like an anachronism on wheels.





FH2 is the game, DarklyDreamingDexter is the name.

PnzIII late in africa. I dunno, guess its the nostlgia from FH1.
PnzIV Normandy. It looks so baddass!
For allied i guess its either the Sherman with the africa skin, or the Churchill.
I too go for the looks  ;D
I'm taking my own freedom

I'm takin' my freedom

In NA, the pziii. Sexy looking, good maneouverability and speed and apart from a sherman, facing an allied tank head-on could get a ricochet, meaning my fate is based on skill - and its shell loadout can kill everything if aimed right.

Now thats a tank!

In normandy, its the King Tiger. Point, shoot, profit!
