Default Re: Top 10 tanks of the war

A few things with your list...the Tiger II wasn't really the best tank (too heavy, maintenance, cost etc), but I understand why you listed it. It could destroy any tank, and no King Tiger's frontal Armour was ever pierced during the war. The Tiger was better than the Panther (for psychological reasons as well as gun etc). And the Churchill AVRE shouldn't have been on the list (it was a Bunker buster, not a tank). The Churchill MK VII should have been in it's place, It had more Armour than the Tiger! Only bad thing is the gun (only 75mm). Agree entirely with the rest of the list.
