Tank Man? Weird Chieftain?!

Polish Training Mockup, training dummy tank, ~1970

This was a mockup dummy tank made on the chassis of a T-34 to familiarize polish tankers with the silhouette and form of a Chieftan.

100% confidence

"Praise the ACTUAL best heavy tank of WWII. Think about it. It's fucking gigantic, so you can see it from two miles away as it trundles towards your exact position. No matter what you shoot at it, it keeps coming. It's slow as shit, so as to give you time to tremble in fear as the realization starts to set in that nothing will stop it. Shell craters, concrete barriers, Czech hedgehogs; it doesn't give a shit. It's coming for you. Slow but sure. Like the horror stories your father used to tell you about the Tank during the Great War. All you can do is sit there and watch, shortly before it lights your entire trench on fire. Nice Panzer IV you've got there. Go ahead. Shoot me. Find out what happens when a sub-3 inch shell hits six inches of frontal armor. Oh, a bunker? Real creative. Be a real shame if I pushed this funny little button that shoots literal hellfire from my tank. Trenches? My tank is longer than a fucking bus. You didn't think we hadn't learnt anything since the last war, did you? To cap it all off, the Crocodile had a perfect 100% success rate in every single operation it took part in. Making the Crocodile out to be some unstoppable Fury Tiger-esque uberpanzer isn't cope: it's historically accurate."

Sherman IIs of 'C' Squadron, 9th Queen's Royal Lancers, 2nd Armoured Brigade, 1st Armoured Division, Eighth Army, during the Second Battle of El Alamein, November 5th, 1942.

The Sherman II was the designation for the M4A1 Medium Tank in British service. The tank was supplied to the UK via the lend-lease program by the United States, and the Second Battle of El Alamein was the first the Sherman ever saw combat in World War II. It would not be the last, as the M4 "Sherman" Medium Tank would see combat throughout the rest of the war with a multitude of upgrades, and see action in every theater of war, from the jungles of Pacific islands, to the bitter cold of Eastern Europe.

I hope y’all know that I’m constantly confused. Confused all the time. I don’t know what’s happening right now. I don’t know what happened last year. I don’t know what’s happening in the news… But I do know what happened during 1914 through 1918. And I know that no one wanted to mess with the Swiss. And omg TANKS!

what’s your favorite tank? from a purely aesthetic perspective

Well, I'm not just going to answer Leo 2 again, cause that would be kinda cheap (even tho it's true, God I wanna fuck that tank).

So, instead, I'll go through a list of my esthetically favorite tanks throughout their history, as well as a 1 sentence description of why.

1917 - Renault FT-17 - it's an awesome light tank, as well as the first iteration of the modern form of the tank.

1942 - PzKpfw. V - a bit of a shameful favorite, but it just looks cool as hell.

1943 - M18 GMC - it's just a badass tank destroyer, what do I even say? There's a 1/36 scale model of it on my shelf.

1953 - M41 Walker-Bulldog - it just looks badass. I have a 1/36 scale model of it sitting on my shelf right now.

1980 - M1 Abrams - I mean, c'mon. I'm an American. What am I gonna pick other than the Abrams? It's the American cousin of the Leopard II, My Beloved.

So, I hope this was satisfactory? If not, I don't know, kick a Russian sympathizer or something.

I love how most of the Valentine Tank's service in WWII consists of the British changing something they didn't like about it and the Soviets just going 'no whyyy did you change that we loved that part about it'

shockwave but its an metaphor for the horrors of war beyond man's comprehension

or alternatively: me at 3AM going into the kitchen in search of shredded cheese (8 found dead, 36 injuried)

based on that one cover by Mark Bright. you know the one.

#oh and also i've been listening a lot to the tank chats by the british tank museum lately #and i sort of wanted to go for a wwi war machine vibe for him #like going for this sort of sense of horror of seeing a tank for the first time #📼 transformers art tag #transformers #shockwave #maccadam #tf g1 #original art #artists on tumblr
