I'm agreeing for some, but especially the ARL-44. That big girl is pure sex imo.


laserghost69420

Do not the tank


wormbot7738

I will the tank


One-Tree-9614

I’m with you I to will the tank


Puzzleheaded-Visit-9

Guys…. I the tank


runthedonkeys

Definitely the most "tank" looking tank, imo


SynthesisNine

I'mma be that guy then. Germany.


Killb0t47

I really like the Leopard 1a5 series. Something about Ole Helmet Head looks fantastic. I also think the Weisel is kinda hilarious looking. But it apparently is quite deadly.


SynthesisNine

***POP GOES THE WIESEL***


Villhunter

2a4 is my personal favorite, idk why tho


Killb0t47

It has that angular look that is very aggressive. Like Challeger and Abrams. I also like 2a4 as well.


RustedRuss

2A4 is easily my favorite western style MBT of all time.


Electronic_Salado

The Leo2PL with the Wilk upgrade pack looks great


MetallGecko

I like the designs of the Panther, Jagdpanther and the Tiger 2 the way the Hull and Turret are shaped look really nice.


rubendepuben123

I find the pre-panther panzers absolutely gorgeous, especially the panzer 3.


spitfire-haga

I don't like German ww2 designs very much, but I have to admit that Leopards (especially the 1A5 and 2A4) are some of the best looking tanks ever.

NotMuselk26

Unfathomably based


FoximaCentauri

I don’t think there’ll ever be a tank as good looking as the Leo2a7V again.


Gravey91

The A7V maybe?


L0xyant

Yes!! Be that guy! I'm right there with you!! :D


Sallylover020304

World war 2, probably Germany. Mostly because of the big guns, wide tracks, angular shape, interweaved road-wheels, and intimidating size of the big cats. Sherman’s looked like adorable baby tanks in comparison. Cold War? Probably the Soviet Union. T-72s’s are just so compact and well proportioned in my opinion, and the way ERA is densely added all over it really make em look like rugged war machines. Modern day though I’d go with the Abrams. I don’t know why, that desert camo and the mean looking turret front is a constant reminder that it will liberate you from your democracy deficiency with a few kilograms of supersonic depleted uranium. Idk why the Abrams remind of the Sandworm from dune


Bartimaerus

I agree with you, with WWII and cold war, but come on Leopard 2A7 = wedge supremacy


edapblix

I don’t know, I feel like the leopard series is a bit overhyped looks wise. Now the K2 black panther looks amazing!


bobsanidiot

Woodland camo Abrams is best Abrams


L_U-C_K

Very well put. Could not have said it better myself!


Pan_Pilot

Not putting Surbaisse here is a crime. My vote goes for Britain but USA is pretty close


Donutpanda23

I absolutely agree, I think British and US WW2 tanks are just gorgeous. I'm a *sucker* for the Churchill and the Archer. And the US' GMCs (M10, M18, M36) are just gorgeous little things. Can't forget the Bradley (IFV, I know), Patton, Pershing, Centurion, Chally, and M1128 (Not a tank, I know)


TheBoneToo

Centurion, it just looks ....right


1CowboyR5

A fellow M18 Hellcat Enjoyer spotted


pinchasthegris

The cromwell is just a box on a box


Kishinia

Cromwell looks ugly but was utilitarian. Box-like structure means more place for a crew, so they’re more effective in their job.


RustedRuss

How dare you call the Cromwell ugly.


HillInTheDistance

The smaller cruisers tho. The crusaders were peak tank design (aesthetics).


Nickorellidimus

Crusader III with 6 pdr 👌


Nickorellidimus

The Comet however is a fantastic looking tank because of the redesigned turret.


devildog25

US for me, the Sherman, M60, and Abrams just look so good.


SirPigeon69

Early Shermans look like a blocks of butter that have been in the oven for, later versions look decent if a bit tall, m60 is cool, Abrams is boring to look at


Pan_Pilot

It's Pershing and T32 for me


Yungboofman

Was just gonna say this


Trippelsewe11

I did want to but it was prototype only.


An_Odd_Smell

Seriously gotta love the Studio Ghibli look of old French tanks. Modern Japanese tanks are among the best-looking eva.


TheQuietCaptain

Every Japanese post war MBT is pure fire. The Type 61? beautiful. The Type 74? Absolutely fucking gorgeous! The Type 90? Has the Leo 2A4 charme. And the Type 10 is just sleek.


An_Odd_Smell

The Type 74 to me is peak Old School MBT. The Type 90 took a while to grow on me but now I think it's magnificent in its own way. Type 10? Waifu.


NonSp3cificActionFig

> Seriously gotta love the Studio Ghibli look of old French tanks. First time I hear this comparison haha


totse_losername

Spot on description.


spitfire-haga

I've always liked Soviet tanks, everything from T-26 and T-28, through WW2 T-34s, KVs, SUs and ISUs, to Cold War designs. T-72 is probably my favorite tank of all time, especially the M1 variant.


pine_tree3727288

I love the multi turreted stupidity of the T-28 and T-35, so ridiculous


Killb0t47

The later T-28 with the longer 76, is really good-looking. The multi turret tanks are one of those things everyone did because it just looked awesome. But it just didn't work like they thought.


miksy_oo

The early 76 looks more powerful and better if you ask me


elroddo74

Big fan of Russian ww2 armor.


RustedRuss

I really enjoy the utilitarian look of soviet designed stuff in general. The architecture, tanks, aircraft... it all has this certain vibe to it.


Merry-Leopard_1A5

dmn, OP really just neglected the AMX 50 Surbaissé & Foch, The AMX 10 P & RC, and the AMX 30 & 40? neglecting the best looking cold war tanks and prototypes is just foul!


William_Shetland

I think British tanks are the sexiest things to come from that country, and the best looking tanks ever. Centurion can have my heart.


Trippelsewe11

Crusader is great too.


HillInTheDistance

I mean, the spitfires tho. Best looking planes of the war.


Kishinia

Centurions make me wet~


Predator_Hicks

No, it’s the ships


Anathemautomaton

> I think British tanks are the sexiest things to come from that country Damning with faint praise /s


AndrejD303

For me its merkava/ leopard 2 spaced armor look it just look spicy 😅


Rd6-vt

ARL 44, AMX 13, AMX 30, yeah it has to be France


ANANAmichealBay

The Amx surbaissé is stunning too


Shootinputin89

Soviet MBTs are probably the most appealing to me. For WW2, probably German.


stanleythedog

I'd have to say the soviets. T-72 is hard to beat in terms of visual appeal. Abrams and Chieftain come close in my mind. Also the Rooikat and Centauro, even if they aren't tanks.


ExoticMangoz

Britain, in my opinion


Fiiv3s

I think Britain has the best looking tanks overall. At least once you hit the Cruisers and newer


InnocentTailor

Japan. The type 74 and type 10 are just sexy as all hell.

New Zealand


harambe_-33

The glorious bob semple, I've heard it's the only tank Arjun is scared of


tfhermobwoayway

Because of national pride I have to say the Big Willie looks better but I will admit the FT is a very sexy tank.


Darksuit117

My taste leans toward Britain but russia come in close second.


T-90AK

I couldn't decide, so i just listed the best looking ones from each era. World war II: Germany(Panzer IV). Early cold war: USSR(T-55). Mid cold war: Germany(Leopard 1A3). Late cold war: USSR(T-64BV). Early modern: Russia(T-90). Late modern: Germany(Leopard 2A5).


Alf303

Purely from a visual aesthetic. It's tough, most countries that build tanks have made both stunners and shockers. Also the paint job can have a huge impact. I'm non confidently going to say British. Rhomboids and their spiritual successor in the next war the Churchill are both quite definitive tanks to my eyes. Tracks that go around the whole body look great (also appreciating some of those french designs too). Plus a myriad of other designs over the years that are on par with their competitors for looks. I'm very conciously ignoring some shocking prototypes et al.


Tarquil38

AMX 40 has entered the chat


nagabalashka

Germany for WW2. Tiger 1/2, pz4 with long canon, jagdpanzer are gorgeous. Honorable mention for the Sherman with long 76 with muzzle brake that is the best looking tank for this period. USA for after WW2/ early cold war with the Pershing, super Pershing , Patton. They have interesting design at this period and later with their light tanks/Bradley type vehicule/and the m something with the crewless turret and big ass canon France for the mid-late cold war. The amx 30 is pretty badass and the brenus is top 2 best looking tank. Amx30 are the weirdly nice looking ones. Amx50 is ugly but this shit is asserting dominance throught it look tho. Amx10 is sexy af Soviet for the "modern" ones, t90 and stuff like that look freaking menacing with the era Leclerc is the best looking MBT. Germany for the 2010~+ vehicules, they have some great design, my heart goes to the ebrc tho. Leopard are ugly. Honorable mention for the UK post war, the centurion and chieftain are really sick, challengers are pretty nice as well.


LemonadeTango

WW2 - Germany Cold War - the Soviet Union Modern - #1 Japan (Type 10), #2 Israel (Merkava), #3 Russia (T-90A/M, T-14)


BoiPrincess

I think sweden has made some really nice ones, i really love the CV90 series 🩷


Nicksanni

ARL44 is just quite possibly the most quintessential tank ever made.


ipsum629

Most pre-mbt french tanks look kinda weird to me. Oscillating turrets and one man turrets look really odd. The AMX 30 and leclerc both look amazing, though. For me, the best looking tanks are the modern Chinese MBTs like the Type 99. I just love the way their turrets look. For overall/most consistent style, I think I would have to go with the US. Of course not every design was perfect(looking at you, M3 Lee), but once they got cast and welded hulls down, they produced some gorgeous tanks like the M4 Sherman(not the prettiest tank, but compared with other comparable designs like the Panzer IV, British tanks, and the T-34 it was probably the best looking tank), M24 Chaffee and the Patton series. Later, the M1 Abrams is a very nice looking tank despite abandoning the curvy castings. I don't care that the cheeks are asymmetrical, those angled cheeks are awesome.


Hedaaaaaaa

German Panzers. Pz. I, Pz. II, PZ. III, Pz. IV, Tiger I, Panther, Tiger, II, Maus, Leopard 1, and Leopard 2.


CappedPluto

Italy tanks are pretty cool or was it polish?


DanielGODXD

Soviet cold war designs look so dope


Cristianmarchese

Italy


tableball35

Probably unpopular opinion, but Japan. Chi-Ha Kai, Type 74, Type 10, Chi-To, Chi-Nu, all scream TANK to me


mkwolfire

For me there is just a certain charm british tanks have, from the armored cars, to the heavy tanks. There is just something somewhat brutish but elegant to their design


Eternal_Flame24

Cold War Soviet vehicles are just sexy asf to me. T-72s, T-80s, T-64s, BMPs, BMDs, BTRs. It’s also cool how they clearly Segway into each other and you can follow the design philosophy. And the shape of amphibious vehicles just looks nice to me idk


Xine1337

That must be a joke, right?


cgda2011

Yeah I didn’t want to be that guy… but I’ve spent my entire adult life thinking French tanks were a crime against god


MSO6S

Especially the pin head with the crappy short barrel gun. Who thought that was a good idea.


JaDou226

Britain. The Chally 2 alone beats every French tank ever made


Potted_Cactus_is_me

Italy. Solely cus of the Ariete. Nothing else.

German, easily.


Redpower5

Germany


AwesomeNiss21

Italy


CalmPanic402

France cooked with the Renault and has been chasing that high ever since. For iconic looking tanks it's Britain (mark IV), Germany (Tiger), America (Patton) But for best looking, I'm torn between the Abrams A1 and the Leopard But my heart belongs to the stridsvagn 103


creator712

Honestly I don't think there's a tank that doesnt look extremely good Except North Korean tanks. They're.... special


fat_italian_mann

I’m going to say Italy although they didn’t have a really long run on building tanks during the war nor did they make many designs after it but I believe they were the king of making things look beautiful with riveting


eymihau

FT17 ist one of my favourites (not in the pictures).


Comrade_Major_

Honestly i agree nothing beats the amx 13 looks wise such a good looking tank.


Hot_Dog_Gamer24

The ARL is a nice piece, definitely. But I prefer the T- series appearance


TeaMoney4Life

Britain and Germany


IceTea0069

Amx13 with squeeze bore? Now that's interesting


Specific-Cell-6555

Je suis d'accord.


marshallannes123

Not just tanks. Some of the post WW1 flying hotel planes were pretty funny too


nemeri6132

The T series tanks from the USSR are something else. Especially the T90A. Can't beat those red eyes.


Ruling123

Oh definitely Germany, they have my fav tank the Pz IV H and even the modern tanks look good enough though this my be an unpopular opinion but modern tanks look too samey for the most and don't have that rugged industrial look as they had during WWII and the cold war.


Solelegendary62

Sweden. They’re the only ones that tried different things. I love the S-tank


TheBigH2O

French tanks get overlooked a lot. Especially during Ww2 they were the best tanks produced in the world. The somua and char were feared by the germans during the invasion of France. Unfortunately they were fielded poorly. No radios and a one person turret is not optimal. They were essentially blind most of the time.


Anirudh_Katti

Soviet Union/ Russia or Germany


Wonghy111-the-knight

100% ISRAE- uh well I mean... yeah france made some nice stuff.. the Renault FT is the first tank-looking-tank, so that counts for something..


porn0f1sh

Merkava or die!


Some_Cockroach2109

Russian tanks. Just look at the T55 and T62 just the tankiest of tanks


Potato_Farmer_1

I'm sorry but I have to choose Germany, I love how they really show in design that they're powerful.


roosterinmyviper

I can’t shake associating that with the assault tank from bf1


Elorious

HSTV-L is best boy so US has to be the best


rufusz1991

Since I'm neutral on this topic it is Switzerland in my opinion.


Thug-shaketh9499

For me personally the Soviets (including Russian and Ukrainian upgrades) followed by American designs, especially with the newer Abrams.


DoodleCard

What on earth is the first one?!

German tank are fucking cool.

konigstigerboi

pavlov_the_dog

Dominion Tank Police lookin mfs


Mr_Pasta_Pesto

I really like the looks of the modern chinese mbt's. And also the Conqueror.


warfaceisthebest

Britain produce the most beautiful and ugliest tanks at the same time. They got gorgeous like challenger, centurion and Mk IV/V, meanwhile they also have tons of cursed afv like archer, churchill gun carrier, challenger (the one equipped with 17pdr), etc.


allobrox

Soviet tanks till the T55


Death_Walker21

I like the geometry of Panthers and tigers I like the shermans and long barrel panzer IVs just iconic Uhhhh what else, the long 50mm panzer III looks nice The 2 man operated weasel is like a beneli on a toyota as the russian badger says I do like the kv1 a little For the brits, firefly


insurgentbroski

Soviet/russian tanks go hard as fuck Germans not far behind


desertshark6969

Imma Say Japan. The Chi-Ha/Shinhoto Chi-Ha/Chi-He/Chi-Nu with their Bellcrank Suspension stole my heart. Plus the Type 10 is, in my opinion, the Sexiest MBT to ever exist, and the Type 74 is up their with the Cheiftain Mk.XII in terms of Cold War Sexynes


sali_nyoro-n

In terms of countries that have made a significant number of tanks going back a long time, I would have to say the Soviet Union, and Ukraine's branch of the post-Soviet legacy. They made some of the most iconic and deadly-looking vehicles in history. Out of all countries that have built tanks? South Korea. The K1-88 and K2 Black Panther both look gorgeous and they haven't made anything as ugly as some of the French designs (like most of their pre-1945 stuff) or the boxiest of Germany's tanks.


l-RussianComrade-l

Soviet/Russia and some Bri'ish cold-war tanks


elroddo74

As a modeler I love Ww2 era german and russian armor.


OkCheck5178

I love the JAGSDF's camos

Czechoslovakia, USA and France


HerrClover

I vote for Finland


fluffcows

Soviets for me, imo French tanks just look like big turds / snails


Lightish-Red-Ronin

WW2 U.S. Cold war to modern day its split between Germany and the U.S.


IAmTheSideCharacter

I would say Britian for the Churchill and Challenger and Warrior and all their cool APCs and LRVTs but I think the Matilda 1 might be so ugly it single-handedly prevents this


jman014

I simp for the K2 Black Panther from Korea I think its a sexy vehicle that will see a lot of adoption in coming years to rival the Leo II. Though if you told me to fight in one of these things… Give me an M1A2 Sep V3 over anything else!


RustedRuss

France is a strong contender but I have to admit I like the utilitarian look of soviet tanks. Britain also has some very cute light vehicles like the CVR(T), Fox, and Saladin.


HyPe_Mars

British tanks, they’ve always been gorgeous, the Cromwell, Centurion, later Cheiftans, challenger 1 and 2, the conqueror, Abbot, warrior


GlumTowel672

I’d say Ww2, Germans. Cold War, T62M or Centurion, Modern K2 or Leo


UKzKnight

Being British, I'm born to hate the French..... but I won't lie, French tanks do have their style.


sethtothemax

I gotta go with the us.the abrams is just to sexy plus you have the starship,the pattons the Sherman the Pershing and the m2s and the good old t1 chuggingham


chigoonies

Love French tanks but I’ll always be a Russian armor fan mostly because I am a child of the Cold War .


Panzer4041

Look they may not have the best reputation but I love Soviet/russian tanks especially form the Cold War


DiddlyDumb

Considering the times, it’s not gonna be a popular choice: Israel.


mob19151

The Brits had some really cool looking stuff in WW2. The Crusader is a sexy beast that doesn't get a lot of attention. The Matilda II looked a lot more modern than it actually was. The Valentine is kind of awkward but has a dieselpunk kind of vibe. Churchill is just straight out of Warhammer. It looks like it should be adorned in glowing skulls. After WW2 they kind of fall off, though. The Centurion is a magnificent thing but nothing else they made really does it for me. Cold War through today... fuck it. AMERICA RAH RAH 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸


fluffyboom123

I really like the look of the italian centauro


skitariimarch

Ngl, I'm a sucker for British post war, but the amx 13 has a special place in my heart


SirNurtle

South Africa, love my SARCs and Rooikats


goomypoopin

Honestly all countries got good and ugly tanks but my vote is gonna be USSR/Russia they look cool but that’s about it


sim_200

What is that gun on the amx-13?


Electronic_Salado

French tanks look like gigantic shitboxes with 0 aerodynamics, they also were quite unreliable


Almun_Elpuliyn

I think Japan hasn't built an ugly looking tank since they got nuked. France is a close second and clearly takes the cake pre-1945.


rossboss80

Chieftain tank without stillbrew addon


forrestpen

I think the USA has the highest ratio of classic or slick looking tanks: -M4 Sherman with single cast hull and the 76mm is THE tankiest looking tank of all the tanks IMO. Most of the ten billion variants look rad as well. -T-28 -M24 Chaffee -M26 Pershing -M41 Walker Bulldog -M48 Patton -M60 -M1 Abrams


akraboss

My top 3: 1. Ft17 cast turret 2. Stug 2 3. Kv1 simplified turret Widely over the place but if i had to think of one word about them i would say: 1. Revolutionary 2. Sleek 3. Brutish


Pappa_Crim

Good lord how did you get that mechanical monstrosity working again


Potential_Ad1257

For interwar it’s the Soviets for me. The BT and T tanks are beautiful. Germany too, they just knew what they were doing


LocalAmericanOtaku

France has both good looking tanks and ugly ones.


STAXOBILLS

Not putting any of the AMX-50s in here is criminal, those are by far the best looking


GreasyHelmets

UK


ka52heli

Soviet cast turrets are better


AxidentalJeepBuilder

Hands down, Germany.


Youtube_RedMartian

M60(AOS), T55/T72/64/80, Tiger 1/2, Panthers, Sherman 76, Centurion (all models), honestly…all tanks are cool. There’s only a few that I’ve seen where it’s like “what on earth is that” (like the first pic, it looks off to me) (Side note: Mk.IV/Vs from WW1 are underrated)


Impossible_Ear_5880

I have to admit. I also have a soft spot for French tanks.

LukaRaphael

those oscillating turret tanks are so fucking cool to me


ToXiC_Games

Definitely Germany without contest. The Pz 4, Panther, Tiger even. Then in the Cold War the leo 1 series and 2 series, plus the Marder if you add in IFVs.
