You connoisseur guys have some nerve, I tell ya!

Just kidding, Scott, talk to you soon! (I'm parked on here pretty much all day)

Hey guys, first post here - coming over from the connoisseur boards, but could not resist my early modeling interests when I saw this thread!
How do you guys define the best tank? Is it the tank that is most easily produced in numbers to win a war (the Sherman or T-34)? Or is it the tank you, as a crew member, would like to be in when the lines are drawn and the “lead” (SABOT, HEAT etc.) starts flying?
As a former Infantryman who got stuck as a Bradley commander with dreams of being a “Panzer” hero and after that assignment, I will always beg to fight on the ground.
For me the best tanks are the ones that won the big one (WW II) and those are the Sherman and the T-34.
Now, If I had to crew one of these vehicles I would want to be in a Sturmgeschütze, preferably on the Eastern Front.
Just some quick thoughts - Scott
