....obviously, given my name and tastes, I'd be a Tiger II, and my wife a Lee. What about everyone else?
Only one - Cheiftain - and don't ask nobby ! :P
Whichever is the thinnest, weediest tank, I suppose...
What would that be ?
Either that, or Oddballs' Sherman that fired shells filled with paint.
Cheers - Phil

If only I could aspire to the rugged good looks, the sheer power and general all round magnificence of the Centurion. :x I am not worthy.
I am much more a Churchill - slow, ugly but generally reliable and adaptable.
@Techno - surely you'd be the Whippet?
Na Phil would be a CV-33 :P, I'll let you look it up ;)
I think I would be a Matilda 1. Slow, heavy and not quite up to the fight ;)

T-34, utterly prolific and crew have no idea what they are doing.
For me it would have to be the Merkava IV:
The Marmite of tanks! Love me or hate me - I'm slightly screwy, break some rules, not bad looking from the right angle but pretty darn good at doing my thing!
KV-2
Jagd Panther
Very good at a specific task, but over engineered and prone to breakdowns.
T-35
Looks big and very impressive but ultimately flawed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-35
Maus - big, lumbering, unreliable and prone to breakdowns :)
according to this:

i'm a leopard II
So wuz I on that test ! Suspect everyone will be :'(
I was an Abrams - clearly it's nonsense :)
Didn't know that quiz. It seems I'm a Leopard by their system; what the Hell, still a fierce kitty.
PzKpfWg IV Ausf H
Sturdy and reliable but nothing fancy.
I'd be this:
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b9/Leonardo_tank.JPG)
Extravagant, sessile and abstruse.
Probably some form of Inter-War British tank; out of date, poor running gear, mechanically unreliable but showed promise in development.
They think I'm a Challenger 2
I did the next one that popped up about why people fall in love with me
"People fall in love with your....Physique!
It's not that people are shallow, it's that you're so darn attractive. One look at that million dollar smile and that free flowing hair and they're in love. "
That's obviously not true.
Now what I do with it, that's a different matter... :)
For some reason I feel an affinity with Pz 38(t) and its many variants.
I always felt an affinity with the Sentinel. Ready for an emergency that never happened, not really much good, but better than nothing should that emergency have happened. Capable of improvements that never happened.
The quiz said I was a Challenger 2. Meh...
According to the quiz M1 Abrahams.
Ignoring the quiz ...
Aspirational: Challenger 2 Life Extension Project model with all the proposed bells and whistles miraculously approved by the MOD including the Rheinmetall turret with 120mm smoothbore main gun. 8->
Actual: Matilda I tank, 1940. :-[
I got an M1 Abrams as well, which is disappointing as we don't make one! :( Although possibly quite accurate as I'm also very 'beige'...

WHY NOT ???? :'( :'(
I'm Bob Semple (and so is my wife)
I guess I would be something pre WW-2 French; something like a Char B1-bis;
A relatively thick skin, too heavy, in the end not very effective and very tiresome to those that have to work with me (or rather wait for me)...
Cheers,
Rob
Given my smoking and drinking, (Involuntary immolation stage 1 is a frequent occurrence! :o ), I should probably be a Sherman! :(
HMS Victory ... Maritime, slightly wooden, a big worry to the French and often on display in Portsmouth Dockyard.
