If you could have any tank from WWII what would you have?

I'm thinking of mine right now...I'l be back with one in jiffy...

I'd get a M6 heavy tank.

**spidge** · 08-08-2009, 10:03 PM

The M6 never saw combat Dark Matter. It may have been an alright tank but they ended up going for the Sherman and later the M26 Pershing which were easier to manufacture and transport.

I am not a tank person however I would probably go with the PantherG as it was a good all round tank and was less expensive to produce than the King Tiger.

Panther was a good tank but my choice is T-34. It's reliable, easy to maintain, easy to drive, fast and it can drive on almost every terrain.

The T 34 while a good tank it was never tried against allied tanks.

Not sure which I'd go for, but maybe a Churchill as a good solid tank, or the T34 for sheer ruggedness.

Although my choice was not used in the war and was really only a quaint prototype being built, i would go for a Sentinal. I know plently of other tanks are bettter and it did not even see production, I however believe that if the Sentinal went into full production it's original design and it's later model updates could of been a great tank for all AO's. Maybe it would not better than others but very good regardless.

Hi Cobber, Merry Christmas,
I think that if I was living down under with a few of my forum friends, I would opt for a very large three miles square water tank with hoses fitted all the way round the bottom.
Could have other uses when not required for emergencies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you are all OK down there.

Cheers

Merry Christmas all.

Keith,
Your tanks win.

NSW & QLD have had fires for about a month now.
The traditional danger season is about to begin.
Vic & S.A. residents get nervous about now. After losing so many people this year, the government has finally stepped up and leased extra fire fighting aircraft and ground tankers.

Hopefully this year will be better.

Regards
GW

Hi GW,

I find it very strange that once our public servants have got your vote, their title changes to lords and masters,

with little thought for the suffering of their voting minions.
One thing is for sure that if they lived in a hotspot you would have all the fire-engines etc needed to assure the safety of their area.
All stops should be pulled out to not only stop these recurring hazards but to make sure everything is done to prevent them happening again with good land husbandry, by way of bigger fire breaks, and planting less inflamable fauna.
Make your voices heard during the next election.

I wish you all the will be safe and have a special care free Christmas.
Here in sunny Cheshire, where no snow has been forecast we have just had a two inch fall which is laying because we are "enjoying" 0 - 3 degrees overnight.
I wish I could ship it down to you

Cheers
Keith
ps, make that 6" snow laying and causing traffic hazard, doubt if I'll see my grandchildren today! rather they were safe and warm
