I agree. The only other viable candidate would be the M4. I don't want to laugh at you outright, I would prefer to see what you will use to support this statment first.

While simplicity of design should be considered s far as that helped with maintenance on the battlefield, we are not ranking the efficiency nation's industry.

GePap, the title says "greatest MBT", not "tanks that by sheer numbers won WW2." Start your own (very short) thread.

Eh, T-34 is a medium tank. Panther, otoh, is the first true MBT. It was a medium tank as far as the German's were concerned.

For Gepap, what tank would you want to ride into battle with in WWII, say around 1944? I doubt your answer will be the M4

I doubt your answer will be the M4 Not an M4 or a T34, but then, those would be by far my most likely choices, given that combined they probably outnumbered all other models being used in 1944 by all combatants in Europe.

Who still uses it?

The Sherman had a very long shelf life as well.

I hope for them that they only use it for training purposes.

Using it in the regular fighting force sounds like a foolish thing to do as I doubt that any MBT from WW 2, even if used in great numbers would be a match for MBTs of the 80s or even more modern tanks.

I thought that RPG-7s were almost as ubiquitous in the third world as AK-47s?
