No doubt, the Panther G Uhu with the infra-red devices . They could easily beat any allied tank and can fight night battles ( BTW, did the Allies have any IR for their tanks?)

Ok, I guess to have a completly defensable answer, the question would have to be very concise, ie for offense, defense, one on one, mobility factor, availability and so on. I picked the JS-3, because it was really a jump ahead in armor design, IMHO. Yes it had a cramped turret, and the "piece of sheet metal" above the gun, but it introduced many great ideas, for instance, look at the front glacis, with its sloping! I probably own 25-30 books on WWII tanks and tank design/evolution, and in great detail have studied the extremely fast improvements in tanks during WWII. No other time in history has such dramatic improvements occured so fast (ok, maybe the musclecars of the 60s:rolleyes: ). If I had to pick the best all around tank that was [I]widely[/I] used in combat during WWII, I would have to say the Panther G, or a close second would be the T-34/85.

Hussar -> King or Queen? (3/23/2002 3:46:49 AM)
I don't know which AFV was the King but the Matilda 2 was certainly the "Queen of the Battlefield". However, If we are talking about pure performace then it must be the Centurion. I know that they didn't take part in much (any?) fighting in WW2 but they were there for the last couple of months and are still doing fine service all over the world....AND they had a proper kettle in the turret to make tea!!!! I know 'cause I crewed one in the early '70s!!!
