the shermans were pathetic tanks, the only reason they were worthwhile is the vast amounts of them they could produce.

the Panzer III -Germany is the best tank of WWII with the Russian T-34 a close second.

The best tank was a King Tiger. Only a handful were produced though.. otherwise it would be a Tiger Tank.

Well, I say none of the above, because you either have a tank, or no tank at all.

Who cares for medium tanks?

King Tiger. All the way.

because they were big and slow.. medium tanks were more manuverable with slightly less firepower. Let's not forget price either.. meduim tanks were cheaper to build.

Well, in my opinion, Mihail biased this so the T-34 wouldn't be up against the King Tiger, so meh.

Well the question isn't about how many numbers would be required to beat another; otherwise you could say the same for ANY tank. It's about which tank is BEST. And as you've suggested you'd need 50,000 Shermans to defeat 10,000 Panzers, you've argued my point for me :p

The panther could also be classified as a medium tank. Definetly the best medium tank bar none.

Well I think he put the T-34 up there becaue it is a medium. Compared to some of the heavier Russian tanks (KVII, IS-2, IS-3), the T-34 was a lightweight. In response to a previous post about the King Tiger, it could have ripped all the medium tanks combined in combat.

Sherman tanks aren't that good, and they always caught fire apparently. I dunno why people voted for them, we are talking about the best tanks, not the most tanks.

No infact I made it so that the american, japanese, british etc tanks could be listed, because infact other then the t-34 the other tanks on this list could not stand a chance verus a heavy tank like a tiger, I am planning infact on making a heavy tank poll in awhile. Whats the point of saying/asking whats a better tank, the King Tiger or the M4 sherman? of course the King Tiger would be the better tank.

Infact no it was too heavy and too tall to be a medium tank
