Hello, Mr. Moran (AKA "The Chieftain" )
My question to you is this:
From all of the real life tanks in the game (meaning that an actual tank of the design had to be built - no paper tanks or wooden mockups), which one tank per tier would you choose to go into battle with (facing its own tier in battle, but, again, only the "real" tanks) and why?
I look forward to your answers and reasoning, sir.

He's fav is the chieftain and/or m4.

If I were on the german side, I would build explosive goliath tracked mines with extra front armor to the size of the british mk 1 tank, and have them race towards enemy tanks at 90 km/h with political dissidents duct taped to them.
honestly t62a ftw imo

No, what I meant by my question was for each tier what tank would you pick to go into battle with/in?
So for example, at tier 1 I'd probably go with the Renault FT as it has fairly decent (for its tier) turret armor.
At tier 2, I'd probably take the Panzer II as it has a decent blend of armor and offensive power.
And so on up the tiers.

+1 for both of you for a great topic and reply.
Also Jingles has his TOP 5 as well and his #4 is the T-34-85.

The great brotherhood of Soviet and East German tank production was in fact a combination of
the Panther and the T-34.
A Soviet production tank made with great German quality. The best of both worlds.

Exactly! So many people don't seem to get this, just x tank is better than y tank for whatever reason without looking at how it would actually operate on the battlefield.

Ok, so the only reason I brought up tiers in my question was because I know that you would otherwise say that you would prefer to take the centurion into battle (as you have said multiple times that it made most other tanks of the time obsolete and that it was just a very good tank design in general); by asking per tier, I was hoping to find out which tank in (roughly) each time period of the war (or interwar period, in the case of the earlier tanks) you would feel most comfortable/capable/confident in your ability to do your job as a tank commander.

I never once asked "which tank is better". The closest I came was mentioning armor or offensive power.

I didn't really mean you, but the countless threads on this forum and elsewhere.

I'll take a shot at this. It's going to be hard picking just one for a couple tiers, but I'll do a list of #1's and #2's based on tournament play (#1) and random team battles (#2).
Tournaments:
Tier 1: T1 Cunningham
Tier 2: Cruiser Mk. III
Tier 3: Cruiser Mk. IV
Tier 4: Pz.Kpfw. II Luchs
Tier 5: M24 Chaffee
Tier 6: Skoda T 25
Tier 7: T29
Tier 8: Emil I
Tier 9: M46 Patton (working on acquiring the Skoda, this probably is better for tournaments)
Tier 10: Bat.-Chatillon 25 t
Random Battles:
Tier 1: Leichttracktor
Tier 2: Pz.Kpfw. 38H 735 (f) (Mini Maus)
Tier 3: Cruiser Mk. IV
Tier 4: Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer
Tier 5: M4 Sherman
Tier 6: KV-2
Tier 7: T29
Tier 8: Lowe
Tier 9: WZ-111-1-4
Tier 10: Super Conqueror

Why? Yes the gun on the Chieftain is fantastic, but the engine is so bad it makes the Panther look good.
