I think the 85 looks more formidable than the 76 but the 76 looks more like a exploitation type of design, a better vehicle for tearing the entrails out of an army and therefor more fun. Just my preference I guess.

This would be my second choice.

Great taste in tank-hunters!

PzJgr, you made me break two ribs

Edit:

Lol at pzjjgr, your awesome! the modifications include some toolbox repositionings, and cupola things. ( i think.) But it is most likely collected from different StuGs after the war, since spare parts were hard to get. So it is pretty much impossible to name all the modifications. It was just to give you something to look at!

Sure it was Russian, the SU-100!

Do I have to summon from the deep Wessex Wyvern and von Poop to give you guys a crash course in vehicle recognition? Same for you, Tomcat, calling the T-95 a Maus was an insult

I know it is the su100, but its early in the morning, and i have yet to finish my coffee, so it tooki me awhile.

And calling the American monster a German monster is something i´d never do

sorry Za don't know too much about the 'super heavy tanks'

maybe that crash course couldn't be a bad idea for me.

But hey I always love a good reason to read my books, or to show them of to someone else.

That was great reading, thanks. It looks like the Finns liked to add extra bolted armour up front as well around the commander's cupola. The Germans also added extra protection around the cupola but I believe that was at the individual crew's level.

With the exception of the Hetzer and the Ferdinand, majority of the German AFVs had muzzle brakes. That is a dead giveaway whether or not it is German. Also, the tracks are another giveaway for the Russian AFVs. Wider links.

I've got a soft spot for the Mark 1:

Possibly down to being greatly impressed one day at Bovington by Pz. I,II,III,IV,V,VI,VIb all parked in a row with the Jagdtiger at the very end, at how much change in size and weight could occur over only 5 years.
The Mark 1 is shorter than the barrel alone on some of the later vehicles.

Cheers,
Adam

Is that Zimmerit paste on the front hull? They never put that on at the factory. Nor used that hideous olive drab paint.

Yes, it is zimmerit finish which the Finns used as well as the Germans. I would imagine they applied it after adding the bolted on steel reinforcement.

I stand corrected, PzJgr. Zimmerit was a 'backfitted' modification Jan. 1944. Just never spotted it on a StuG before.

Since the title of this thread is Favourite AFV, I cast my vote for the JadgPanther. Mobility, firepower, and protection all rolled up in an attractive, yet fiendishly effective AFV.

Yes, this therad was originally, "favourite tank", but there was some kind of misunderstanding in what was a tank, so it was changed to "favourite AFV"
And please include a picture, everybody likes pictures:

The first one that came up on google.
