We’ve had aeroplane and flying boat threads but I have to admit I’m quite partial to a good old MBT, I had the good fortune to have a play with Leopards in Singapore and must admit, If I was 8 years old there would be a poster on of one on my bedroom wall.

The thought of facing something like this is terrifying, it has a brutal beauty about it though

I once utilised an obscene amount of plastic explosive on one of these;

It pretty much disappeared aside from some of the track which remained in the crater where the tank used to be.

Two goldfish in a tank. One says to the other: “How do you drive this thing?”

You’re welcome.

There was a strange tension in the air. Our O.P. had spotted concentrations of vehicle borne Infantry and Mark III German tanks moving left behind the cover of Grandstand Hill.

In burst Dawson. “Come on,” he said. “There’s ****ing Germans on the other side of this hill and nothing in between them and us! I want you, you, you, you and you,” his finger stabbed in the directions of the victims. “Small Arms, outside now,” and he was gone. Led by Major Chater Jack, the party climbed Grandstand Hill. We at the G.P. got straffed by a lone ME 109. “The bastard,” I said. “Get his number, we’ll report him for wilful damage.”

‘Geordie’ Liddel replied on the Bren gun, but was miles out.

“You’re a good shit-house orderly but a lousy shot,” we shouted. How Liddel complained about our references to his humble job. “It may be shit to you, but to me it’s bread and butter,” he said. As darkness fell, the O.P. reported a German patrol had ‘winkled out’ a Gunner O.P. to their right. Chater ‘advised’ our O.P. to withdraw half a mile and go back at first light. A listening post-cum-O.P. was placed forward of our guns. We had a report that ‘Tiger’ tanks were in our area, they weighed 90 tons. How in Christ could we stop them! “Simple,” I said. I held up my hand. “Tiger Tanks—Stop.”

Cokie, Spencer was a tender engine based on a Gresley A4, not a tank engine.

You’re welcome

Pigface, you think that’s terrifying, facing one of these in one of those, the crew would poo themselves!

In fact, this one would probably punch holes in the Tiger you’ve posted up, and it’s a Skoda!

Hunted turned hunter; Firefly, British upgrade of the standard Sherman, with a chuffin’ great gun added! It’s the M4A4 medium tank with a 76mm gun, a very effective Panzer killer:

You want a heavy tank, this is a heavy tank!

The Tortoise, 79 tons, 33ft long, 13ft wide, 9ft 10ins tall, carried a 94mm, 32 pounder gun!
Powered by a RR Meteor V12 producing 600hp.
Only six were ever built.

Always likes this MBT, the Swedish S-Tank or Stridsvagn:

It’s amphibious as well, got a diesel and a gas turbine, 37mph maximum road speed, and a Bofors 105mm main gun

Quite as few of my workmates seem to be clocking up hundreds of hours on war thunder.

Love the S-tank, also love the Chieftain MBT 🙂 .

Not my pic but went by a couple of these the other year and I don’t know what was more impressive the size of the tank or the low loader that was transporting it.

I’ve always liked the M1 Abrams

How you say in Hebrew, ‘YEEEEEHAAAAA!’

Firefly was an amazing Tiger killer, trouble was when they got close enough to shoot first.
There was a reason the sherman was called the ‘Tommy cooker’

finest battle tank for 20 years, considering the shocking ww11 fare to come up with this when the war was won.

You’re all officially weird. Although now have actually seen a waropopemobile I’m seriously cracking.

Me too. Always loved them.

Not strictly a tank, but it’s on a t-72 chassis so i think it counts- the bmpt terminator is what happens when you ask an 8 year old to make a tank better. MORE GUNS, MORE MISSILES!

My dad served in the Royal Tank Regiment in the post war 1940’s and had some good stories about British tanks particularly during his time training at Bovington Camp in Dorset

He cut his top lip whilst commanding a Churchill tank and going over a ridge.

He also had a soft spot for the Honey tank (M3 Stuart) as it was small and relatively fast so good fun.

He also was familiar with the Centurion

and Conqueror tank which was pretty luxuroius for the crew (as tanks go).

Thanks op – brought back some nice memories of my dad

Not exactly a tank, the StuG III:
