Help Lert decide on his next R/C tank

Дата: 07.09.2017 21:40:20
Lert: I'm likely to be in a position soon to get another 1/16th scale R/C tank. Now I'm trying to decide which one to get. My choices are:   - Panther - Pz III - KV-1 - T-34/85 - Sherman M4A3   Reasons to get the Panther: - It's a Panther! Legendary machine. - Imposing piece, even in 1/16 scale   Reasons not to get the Panther: - Already have a JagdPanther. Same chassis, similar vehicle. - Needs a small investment in third-party photo etch to get to an acceptable standard of detail, mostly the engine grills. - Already have four German tanks.   Reasons to get the Pz III: - Nice and compact - Underrated machine   Reasons not to get the Pz III: - Already have a StuG III, same chassis, similar vehicle - Is the manufacturer's oldest model, thus the detail is lacking and proportions are - .. eh. - Needs a moderate investment in third-party photo etch and parts to get to an acceptable standard of detail. - Already have four German tanks.   Reasons to get the KV-1: - Would be my first Russian one - Can replace KV-1 turret with third-party KV-2 turret and thus have a KV-2   Reasons not to get the KV-1: - The KV-1 itself is a bit - eh. - I don't want a Kv-1, I want a KV-2. Turning it into a KV-2 would require another ~$100, which I don't have and thus would be a future investment, but this is still the cheapest way of getting a 1/16 scale R/C KV-2.   Reasons to get the T-34/85: - Would be my first Russian one - Legendary machine   Reasons not to get the T-34/85: - I'd rather have a T-34/76, but they don't make those - It's a bit cliche, isn't it, such a standard vehicle   Reasons to get the Sherman M4A3: - It's a Sherman! Everyone loves Shermans. - Would be my first allied / US vehicle - It's a welded hull type, which I prefer over the cast hull types   Reasons not to get the Sherman M4A3: - It's the M4A3, IMO the ugliest turret design for the Sherman - Honestly, in a model of a Sherman I'd rather not have the 1055mm howitzer but a 75 or better yet, a 76 - Replacing the turret and gun would be as expensive as making the KV-1 into a KV-2   So help me choose?   "But why not *insert tank here* instead?"   Because I don't want insert tank here instead. I've narrowed it down to one of these five.   As bonus content, here a picture of my StuG III G:
