Actually surprised it did work for a minute or two...
If you just want things with tracks, try a snowmobile...

A very nice tank, in my opinion.

Yes a very nice tank indeed.

Getting us back on topic for 5 minutes, here's a battle some may not know of.

Valley of Tears, 1973, Yum Kippur War

Yum Kippur War; Israel against Syria in this part of the war. A major tank battle in anyone's book... Wiki has a great page on it. Israelis in the audience, i expect, may know more about it.

On 6 October 1973 the Syrian 7th Infantry Division attacked the Israeli 7th Armored Brigade in the area between Mount Hermonit and a southern ridge known as "Booster" in Israel, or Tel el Mekhafi in Arabic. The Syrians started the offensive with an artillery barrage, but failed to move tanks across the anti-tank ditch. They penetrated the Israeli defenses at night with the help of night vision equipment—equipment that the Israelis lacked. The next day, the Syrians mounted a second attack, and at one point in the engagement less than forty Israeli tanks were facing approximately 500 Syrian tanks. On the fourth day, the 7th Brigade received a small reinforcement force when it was down to about a dozen tanks and almost out of ammunition. The Syrians retreated for reasons that are still debated.

And a montage of one of the greats

The Tiger!










^Death of US General Rose.

^Wrecked tiger, somewhere in France


^A Tiger in Italy




^Restored Tiger 1 tank, today, with anti-magnetic mine coating on the hull surfaces. Curiously absent are the interleaved running gear of war-period Tigers...

Best tank? The one that wins wars, and has lots of buddies, the T-34

Seriously though, If I was going to jump in a tank today, I'd want mine to have Force-Fields

That would be because that is not a Tiger, but the fairly convincing mock-up on a T-34 chassis used for the film Saving Private Ryan.

There ain't no such thing as overkill, not when it comes to tanks.

The strangest armoured fighting vehicle i've ever heard of: KUGELPANZER!









It's open to debate what the heck it was for. I'm guessing reconaisance, but god only knows now.

Just to show the Germans weren't the only nutcases around, some drunk Texan came up with one too... being american, he had to design his to be bigger.
(Also being american, he never built it - unlike zee Germans. Who is craziest?)
