General: The Desert Fox -Real question: Was there really another general in WW2 who could compare? He's like the Robert E. Lee of WW2.

Tank: Churchill Crocodile (75mm cannon + A GIANT FLAMETHROWER that had a range of 125 yards!)

U.S. General Omar Bradley

The plain old everyday workhorse, Sherman Tank...

Erwin Rommel for his Krieg ohne Hass.

PzKpfw VI Tiger I
For it's beautiful and fearsome reputation.

PzKpfw V Panther for second place. Beautiful too.

Rommel and the Panzer.
Posted December 16, 2013
Tank: M4 Sherman, Soviet T-34, pick 'em. The T-34 was technologically superior but unreliable. But the North Africa campaign was carried by M3 Grants and Lees, which were cumbersome sonsofbitches (the Soviets called them "six-man coffins") but could outgun Rommel's tanks from long range.

Generals: Two soldiers' soldiers. Archie Vandegrift and Walter Model.

jjsimp: Patton...no question about it. Old blood and guts. Especially after hearing about him slapping around cowards in the infirmary. Don't get me wrong, I would probably have been on the receiving end of his fist as well.

F4LL0UT: Last time I checked he sacrificed the lives of soldiers just to prove that he's better than the Brits.
No, he sacrificed lives to prove he is better than Bernard Montgomery. Maybe Montgomery trolled him once...

LiquidOxygen80: As impractical as the idea is, that Landkreuzer looks like a tracked freaking Death Star, but it WOULD be a massive magnet for bombers, dive bombers, artillery strikes, etc. I don't think the flak guns would have deterred air strikes on it.
Kinda reminds me of those giant tanks from MD Geist.

iippo: Thats pretty much the reason we do not have those huge-ass battleships like in WW2, carriers being pretty much the sole exception.

Big, expensive targets and even excessively armor doesnt really protect from modern AT weapons.

Shame really, personally i always thought WW2 battleships were like the coolest thing ever.
Yeah, me too, as more of an awesome idea more than what it could actually do. It's part of the reason I always enjoyed those "Weirdest Weapons of WWII" shows. I'm not actually compensating for anything when I say I like the idea of big ol' battle machines. :P

Of course, this will change if humans can find a stronger material for ships. Material that can't be penetrated by modern weapons.
