What’s your favourite armoured vehicle?

Note; If it has a swivelling turret but no tracks, it’s an IFV. If it has tracks but no swivelling turret, it’s an SPG. If it has neither it’s an armoured car. A tank is specifically an armoured vehicle with tracks and a swivelling turret.

My favourite is the ASU-57. It’s a tiny lil SPG designed more-or-less specifically to defend Russia against blue dawn. It’s a short vehicle with a small gun, meant to be para-dropped into the area it needs to operate in, where it then hides easily behind a ridge or something and waits to disable American armour.

    Favourite Communist Design would be the IS-2M or the T-72A. The IS-2M is a modernised 1950s version of the IS-2 heavy tank - you know, the one that stormed Berlin. In the 50s, they redesigned the hull to be better armoured. They also got exported to China.

    The T-72A, well, I just think it’s cool - an effective MBT with an autoloader and capacity to defeat any imperialist armour.

    Favourite non-communist design would be something like the Type 4 Chi-To (production model), Type 4 Heavy, O-I superheavy tank from Japan, the AC 4 Sentinel from Australia and the T95 GMC. I just think they’re neat.
