Top Ten Tanks of all time

[Ziegler2112]

I caught this show on the Military Channel tonight. Not sure if it was a repeat and posted already. Anyway, here's the list:

1. Russian T-34
2. U.S. M1 Abrams
3. German Tiger
4. British WW1 Tank
5. British Centurion
6. Mk IV Panzer
7. British Challenger
8. Soviet T-54/55
9. Israeli Merkava
10. U.S. Sherman

Based on:
• Firepower
• Armor
• Mobility
• Production Rating
• Fear Factor

Seen it. .......Yeah,...it's been repeated on The Military Channel like a Winchester. ...I personally liked the one about French Tanks myself,..too.

That`s an interesting list too

We Brit`s have 3 in there

Must admit they are ALL awesome tanks that there`s no denying.
I`m presuming this is a NO standing order Top 10? Though NOT surprised to see the T34 is No1 at all.
I`m surprised at how small the actual T-34 is or I AM a Giant at 6ft 6.
Just totally threw me the first time I stood new to a T 34 & had a climb aboard on one,very small tank though as History has shown,a superb tank too & changed the whole concept of tank design.

I just got the Military Channel a few months ago, so everything's new to me. Sorry 'bout that.

I thought the one I saw (can you guess where?) was a little larger than what I expected! Then again, I'm a little shorter at 5ft 6



Overall, its not that big of a tank, by either WWII German standards, or modern ones. Size does nothing to diminish its importance, however

BTW, thats not me in the picture!

Once again,...great pic's "tman". I saw some like that at the Patton Museum in Fort Knox Ky. Ran out of film.

Oh,...and I've gotta' put this in here too. ......and while I was at the Patton Museum,..I'm 6'2",..and no matter what size you are,...stand next to, or in front of the "KingTiger" tank,..like I did. ...It is awsomely HUGE ! ..
