When you think about it, Germany's greatest victories came about when neither the Panther or Tiger were in service with the Wehrmacht. Germany would have been better served to scrap the development of the Tiger II and instead focus on making the Panther and Tiger I more reliable and easier to build. Just to add, that I don't believe the negative factors you listed outweighed the positive factors when it came to the Panther or Tiger. Both were able to dominate the battlefield and it was only the greater application of air power and the eventual lack of fuel supplies that prevented either tank from having a greater influence over events than they did. |

Yep, the later tanks took the "blitz" outta blitzkreig.
As to your last point, you have some case for an arguement there, but still they could not be produced fast enough. That really is what it boils down to. 1400 Tigers vs 50,000 Shermans made and not even counting the T-34s yet alone other makes. |

I was thinking that maybe this should be sperated in self-propelled artillery and tanks. Its kind of hard to compare the two. But overall I like the JS-3 even though very few were made by the end of the war.

the best tank overall, i think is the pz IV H version
it has mobility, a very reliable engine and easy to repair chassis it has wider tracks than previous IV versions, giving it an advantage in traction it is armed with a longbarreled 75mm cannon, said in achungpanzer.com that it could pentrate up to josef stalin 2 tanks and below the side skirts, got to love those, makes heat wewapons very worthless aginist and is a hassel to soviet anittank infantry magnetic paste on armor is a burden on soviet antitank infantry as well easy to produce means alot more could be made armor is sufficient in which it could survive t-43 shots and in some cases could survive even 88mm shots, together with mobility it is a good advantage the best part of all: huge ammo allwance, at the end of the war soviet heavy gunn vehicles, could only carry 28 ammo, while the pz IV H could carry around 40 and more rounds, very good advantage as german goes into its late war and its badly mauled supply lines a combination of these advantages and it makes it the best tank of wwii i think another good tank is the KV-85, with similar features like the PZ IV H it was realized by germans to make bigger better tanks when they saw KV 1's invincibility |
