I like every armored vehicle in one way or another. It seems that most people here dislike what I like most (i.e. "little two man tankettes", early war Russian, between the wars, WWII Japanese, & WWII Italian).

If I was forced into giving my 5 least favorite vehicles they would all have to come from within the ranks of engineering vehicles (excpet bridgelayers). They don't have enough guns.

Very important factor here, the gun factor. the bigger and the more the gun it has, the merrier, except the E100, it's just a fort.

ihave to agree with faust modern takes the big barrel..give me the good old german designs from WW2.

STUGIIIF

My least favorite.....Hmmmmm......It would have to be the FAMO andthe NASHORN.Two of the ugliest,most over rated hunks of garbage ever produced inlife or plastic.I have heard of people who salvate over these models and just don't understand it.What is the attraction?One can't figure out if it is a truck or a tank and the other is some sort of tank killer.A tank killer.I just can't agree with anything that "kills" tanks,sorry.
YEAH,RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now that Davidus has almost blown a gasket,and all the rest of the Pigs of the Der Sonntag Bund have lifted there jaws off the floor(Close your mouth,we are not a fish) I will list my least favorites.
The WWII German Luchs-ugly usless hunk of crap
Scimitar or scorpion
That stupid ugly little Wiesel-so small that it is utterly usless and makes no joy
British Valentine-come on,did they really think that was a winning design?
British Bren gun Carrier-Are you kidding me,even the italians said"NO,we be better off riding dead camels!"
there you have it....the ugliest war vehicles.And that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Davidus,Have you recovered yet? I was only kidding! Breathe Davidus,BREATHE!

(:-)

Had to jackhammer my jaw of the floor Jack. I kept pinching myself where the sun don't shine thinking this was just a horrible nightmare Wait 'til Davidus ArwenIsMineus sees this!

Jackhammer, you know if I had a heart attack, you would be responsible, don't you?

Anyway, it's good post, can't help myself laughing, and I AM IN THE OFFICE!!!! Damn there goes my bonus, boss man just saw me must thinking I am crazy or something.

Oh one more thing, heard some one mentioned a good idea the other day, talking about mailing one thing at one time every month....god, sounds fun.....

And one more thing, the topic of the thread is least favourite AFV, not Davidus Arwenismineus bash...

I think besides Sherman, my noble name shown the most here in the thread.

Hi again,
1). any tank fatter than me
2). any tank that would be better used as a garbage truck
3). any tank used in a tractor pull
4). any tank with an M in front of it
5). Zippo competitors
6). roving vehicles with more than 2 antennas, looks the the rooftops of a ghetto
7). command vehicles, on the same principle as military intelligence
8). any tank in the Iraqi army, like outfitting a girl scout troop
9). tanks with missiles, what's the gun for, eh!?
10). any tank developed by Britain, designer must have had a couple hits of acid

Chris Pig no.1

Ouch!

Quit it. I'm an old sick man. If I laugh too hard my pace maker goes nuts, my oxygen tube pops off my face, my wheel chair flips over backwards and someone has to clean up after me. Not only are you going to be the end of me, you just pissed off my nurse. Thanks guys.

I loved all of them, these most of all.




the list is endless they all look a like. If you painted all of them same dark color, took off all the markings, parked them under a weak street lite then proceeded to "Tie one on" and then tried to find yours ; it would be like coming home to the same housing development where all the houses are built and painted the same - you wouldn't find your front door!

( Ya think no.10 is going to be discussed over a pint of bitters?)

My least favorite AFV? Hmm lets see. In the butt ugly catagory we have the crocodile, the sherman, the german WWI fort on wheels thingy, and anything with itty bitty road wheels. In the You gotta be kidding catagory we have the Maus, the E100, M103 and that really weird one the Ausseis came up with, the one with wheels and tracks. Last but not least is the good lord what were you thinking catagory is the M551(kill you as quick as the enemy), the AMX(you have to turn the whole vehicle to aim it right?), the Sgt York(couldn't hit nothin but the broad side of an outhouse), and the Stalin, this one could have been in all catagories, too big.too ugly, too slow. There ya go, you may fire when ready.

Sorry, but SS-74 must have never been a tanker - or he would not have slammed the M-88 (or any of its brethren thru the years)

The M-88 is my second favorite armored vehicle, after the tank I was in.

My least favorite armored vehicles:

Modern Soviet/Russian - they were designed for attack across the Ukraine, suffering terribly on other than flat terrain, and popping their tops much too easily.
WWII British - can't believe these came from the country that built the Rolls Royce.

Ohhhhhhhhh Jackhammer has started somthing now
Jackhammer after i get to him
NAh im just playin lol #:-) #:-) #:-) #:-) #:-)
Brandneus Pimpus

French and Italian tanks have to be my least favorite.

The Souma, Char-B etc. Pretty much crap at the start of the war.

Italians - are better lovers than tank designers. The 13/40, 11/22, 16 1/2 /32nds weird names for some pretty pathetic AVFs

Gotta agree with Patton me ol buddy. ANY French designed vehicle is rubbish......hey look at the citroens and renaults even today..(2CV springs into my mind)....no offence neighbours...BUT you should try to stick to selling onions...lol.

The least favourite AFV for me is easily the Sherman. The one and only redeeming quality this glorified tuna can on track had was that the allied were able to produce it faster than the German were able to knock it.

I have to agree with Patton too. I don't like the french and italian tanks either. I got to shoot a gunnery with the french before when I was stationed in germany and they had the amx 30. what a cracker box.
