The Best Tank of WWII

MrVic: I vote panther.
It has the speed, armor, fire control, biggest of all is the suspension and the most stable firing platform on the move. In essence it was the first tank to truly move and be semi stable at shooting.
Ignoring maintenance ect (as these things are really dictated by variables in supply and availability of a army and basing purely on overall capability and performance)
Watch a video of a T-34 going full speed and firing a shot, watch the hull rock up and down ect. (while it was better then most not nearly the same as a panther)
Now watch a Abrams doing the same. Hull stays on a relative flat plane as it moves creating a very stable mobile firing platform.
Now watch a Video of a Panther on the move and you'll see the advantage a Panther has.
For a good part of WW2 most attempts were to stabilize the guns. The panther was one of the first to truly make a huge step forward in stabilizing the entire tank. Most tanks in WW2 moved slowly firing or came to a stop to fire for accuracy
