    not for its ability but just because you like it so dam much, you can mention armoured Vehicles

    German > Tiger because its just pure dam scary

    Soviet > t-35 Mobile fortress lumbering multi turreted beast

    France > Char 1 ,took a lot for a German tank commander to go aginst this battle beast

    USA > M6, Americas "tiger" but never shipped to Europe

    T34 - Just so advanced and simple, apart from the small size of the intial turrets. An instant classic. Sloping armour, not using petrol, cast turret, wide tracks.
    Char 1 - don't forget one army group was held up for five hours by a single T34 and it was only classed as a medium tank ! Over 100 direct hits by the then standard antitank weapon

    Tiger was really scary when hull down - not so scary on the Eastern Front where later Russian tanks overwhelmed it with quantity and a fair bit of quality too.

    The D-Day funnies were interesting too.

    Puma recon car.

    Always liked half tracks - esp the german motorcycle one.

    I heard it did well when used correctly, 3 of them ambushed and took out 10-11 Churchills at normandy. Only 300 or so were produced. Sure It was at a time when everything was failing for the germans anyway, due to one thing or another.

    In its first ground engagement, the KV-VI was firing on German positions when coincidentally all of the guns fired from the 3 O'Clock position a the same time. The tremendous recoil tipped the tank into a ditch and the severe jostling set off the 152mm ammunition, which completely destroyed the vehicle.
    LMAO:D :D

    Nice one Regen;)
