WW2, Tiger Ftw,

HI.. have you check on 1st page of the thread? TS already put the name and also the pic..just look at it and choose which one you like.. not everyone here have same favorites tanks..

thanks..

Hello there TracyL,

As stated by limfreelance and deathsoul, do check the first post for the list and pics provided by our forumers. While the publication here in Malaysia is still ongoing, you could have a look on the previous ones available last time. You could get some of the previous issues either by getting them directly from AllScript HQ (call first for confirmation, just in case), or maybe someone could offer you a trade/sale if so they wish.

One's preference isn't always the same with the others. Have a look, survey on what tank you fancy, and from there you could try and find that particular tank. If there is anything we could do to help, do ask. We would try to lend a hand

Woah, TracyL, you're creeping me out D:
Why would you want to buy a "best and nicest" model, if you don't have a favourite in mind


Nice Hetzer, I think a 38 (t) might come in a later issue.

I am new to tanks collections, there are too many tanks to choose from, will depend on you all polling on votes. Alright will look at early posts, thanks all.

Also, the largest operational tank is the Char 2C, Maus is second.

thanks for the info
i'm also watch the video already (i'm a WoT player )

Thanks for the info

I just got a 1/72 Maus
I'm also think the Maus 1/72 can't fit in current CTC case (just judge by the look, not by measuring )

looks like cannot delay the trip to office anymore...

this is a very hard choice actually
favourite is personal and not everyone may share the same
but if u ask for biggest, i think maybe the jadgtiger/tiger II is biggest in Combat Tank Collection

thanks for the info...
i'm always think of maus is biggest but it seems a lot more are bigger / much bigger than maus...

I wonder,

Can Maus or Ratte outgun a modern MBT?

Can a Tiger knock out a T-72?

How well will a fleet of Tigers / Panthers / Panzers do fighting a today's war, eg Syrian War?

very much welcome, glad to be of help.

Tanks of older days wouldn't stand a chance when fighting modern ones, as many of the advantages are with the MBTs today.

Firepower of MBT is far superior, with myriads of shells used by different tanks such as sabot rounds and depleted uranium, to say the least.
The systems used today can acquire target accurately, aim much further and fire faster as compared to the older design. Loading would be faster due to better communication, systems and ergonomics. Rounds could be brought into battle in relative safety (Abrams have stowage outside the crew compartment with blow-off panels that direct the explosion in a relatively safe direction for example).

Protection would be a better ones as opposed to what tankers used to rely back in those days. Not only the armor thickness would count, the material itself would also play a role in making sure that the defense is up to par to at least, by theory, to safely protect the tank from harm. Chobham armor, ERA protection, spaced armor to reduce the effect of shaped charge, and many more examples of passive and active protections. The design of tank is also a vital one. Most MBT today have sloped armor (example is Merkava), as opposed to basic shaped design of many earlier tanks (Tiger I, for example). Sloped armor would increase the armor thickness and the chances of opponent's shell to ricochet.

Mobility is also in need of consideration. Some MBT design such as Leclerc and T-90 are quite fast as opposed to Challenger and Merkava, for example, but compared to the older ones, they would easily thrive (Hellcat is out of question because they are doctrined as tank destroyer ). Mobility doesn't only mean top speed, but how well does the tank would traverse in any terrain or condition. A Leopard 2 can easily circle itself in place as opposed to Tiger I that would took around a minute to complete a full circle of its turret.

Given the example, I don't think a Tiger could penetrate a T-72, except in prepared condition such as from the flanks. In return, T-72 could easily took out Tiger in ranges even before it could retaliate.

But then again, I could be wrong, do correct me though.

thanks again for so many info

Comparing with Dragon Models....









Comparing the Sherman (Medium Tank) to the King Tiger (Heavy Tank).... the Sherman crews don't stand a chance ! :bsmilie:

doesn't even come close
even the shermans have to take some losses getting around panther and tiger

those two shermans are of different version right? the dragon's is of a2, no?

Yes the two Shermans are different - the dragon is M4A4
