The Tiger is a really cool and mean looking tank, but I would have to say my fovourite would be the Pzr IV.  It was less complicated then the Panther or Tiger (ie easier to work on in the field), easy to adapt, and easier to mass produce.  If the Germans had concentrated on Pzr IV production instead of "Wonder Weapons" the Pzr IV could have been the German Sherman (sorry about the rhyming.)

Are you sure about the PzIV I thought it was supposed to be overly complex and expensive - the Panther only cost around 10% more to produce IIRC

I'd say the Pnz IV is overdeveloped by 44, but not overengineered in the same way the Panther and Tiger were...

Just scrapes into the WW2 period, but I'd take a Centurion.
