Cool What’s Your Favorite Military Vehicle?

My favorite has to be the M4A3 Sherman. I love the fact that it played such a major roll in winning WWII. I also love the armament it has every thing from the 75mm to 105mm main gun, the .50 cal AA and the hull and coaxial mounted .30s.

My favorite would have to be the Tiger II or King Tiger. It had 25-180 mm armor, 88mm cannon and 2 7.9mm machine guns. The King Tiger could beat the Sherman any day. The only thing the Shermans had were numbers.

The downfall of the Tiger was its weight (also that it was so technologically advanced for that time, and the Germans didn't have the cash to build them in enough numbers to affect the outcome of the war).

FAV baby! Who doesn't like a dune buggy with weapons? I mean really! 3 man crew with a driver, front gunner (usually an M249 SAW or even a grenade launcher), and back gunner (usually a .50 HMG or a M60). Also the ability to mount LAW rockets on the sides. Whats not to love (outside of the minimal protection)?

The M1A2 Abrams SEP with TUSK.

What? It's a 70 ton Tank armed with a 120mm Smoothbore Cannon with a remote-controlled turret at the top, upgraded side armor, improved fire control systems, slat armor, and thermal sights!

The Challenger 2 comes in at a close second... it can track and fire upon a moving target the size of a football three miles away!

My favorite vehicle..airborne would be the A-10 (Doesn't really require an explanation) and I really don't know a whole lot about land based ones.

US Vehicle - M2A3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle (Of course I am biased, since I went to the Bradley Leader Course)

Non-US Vehicle - BMP-3 - I got a chance to mess around with one and although the interior was a death trap, the chasis and armerment were pretty amazing.

German Made MJ-1 Bomb Lift Truck. Same design as the American version but with an Air Cooled VW Beetle 1200 cc motor and the sweetest syncromesh gearbox! I got clocked doing 40 MPH down the flightline at Lechfeld AB, Germany with one of those. Had my Jammer license pulled until we got back home after that one! LMAO!

MHU-83, bigger and badder. I'm also partial to the C-10, but that's just me.
