Easily my two favorite tanks are the Panzer F and the Tiger 2

The Panzer has an eny which inmho is way too high.  It has the firepower to take out any tank in the game at even long ranges.  Sure it cant take hits but a H model doesnt do much better.  The smaller profile of the tank also makes it harder for an enemy to gauge the correct range, making you a harder target.  You also get lots of perks do to its interesting eny which allows for...

...The tigerII!! The only tank in the game that can legitimatly soak round after round like nothing else.  I mean NOTHING else, not a tiger1 not a panther, not a T34/85's front turret, nothing.  It has a main cannon that can deal with anything even at long ranges, and the zeiss sight's zoom gives a superios advantage over most other tanks.  as long as you treat it like a claymore (front towards enemy)  It is the litterally the only tank that I can feel confident of surviving a frontal shot in at close to medium ranges.  Just dont expose your sides or rear, then you're like everything else.

M4(75) for shelling.
(White) Tiger I for hunting.
(White) Tiger II for base defense.

T-34/85

It has the best close-in gun, low profile, I use it in some ways like I use an M-18, it is fast, good at flanking, and has the added advantage of good protection. Close-in it can defeat the frontal armor of a Tiger I with one shot, the side armor of a Tiger II with one or two shots, and can kill a panther from the side from a good distance away. The sight in my opinion is very easy to aim with, and is the best at firing on the move or at moving tanks. 

It also doubles as an adequate AA platform. Catch the sleeping low-flying nikis and typhies :devil

Panther is easily the best all-around tank in the game right now.

Armor
Firepower
Mobility
good optics
good at going hull-down


And lets be frank, nothing looks quite as predatory as a Panther. It just sorta lives up to the name. The Tiger II looks more dangerous and powerfull, but it doesn't have that lean predatory look to it that the Panther does.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

Yes my girl here is my fav...nothing like her anywhere. In game Panther is hard to beat, in real life she was best tank for sure Speed armor and hitting power. Best tank in the world till the russians fielded the T-52. The PZIV was also a great tank as is witnessed by it's employment to the end of the war. 75mm Long was a great gun and could hold it's own with most tank weapons of the day.

I must ask you BAR, why do you prefer the big guns over the M-18, the vehicle you obsessed over for so long? :)

Thanks for getting it added though, I love going big game hunting in the hellcat.

It's great zipping up behind a Tiger or Panther who meandering along engine running, can't hear a thing...BOOM! Lost all those perkies from a thin skinned hellcat.  :salute  :neener: :ahand  :bhead
