Off-topic question for the off-topic section: How fast do modern tanks go? I've seen videos of old WWII tanks and they seem really slow probably because a lot of metal was used in their construction.

M4A1 reaches 72 km/h, same as Leopard 2
Russian T90 65 km/h

Same as Serbian M-84AS

M-84

Thank you kind sirs.

If you love tanks you have to see the movie called "Patton". This movie revolves around the tank battles with fantastic scenes. Must see it.

The best tank of WWII was T34. One can argue it had worse gun than the Tiger and weaker armor, but it had 3 great advantages that allowed it to win the war:

1. Was cheap to make
2. Cheap and easy to repair
3. Fast and reliable on the battlefield

Tiger and Tiger II were lacking in all these areas.

Look, if tank (T34) was produced in huge amounts and doesn't mean that it was the best.

T34 was very good, I guess the best medium tank during WW2 but as for Tiger or Tirer 2 - T34 had no chances.

Tiger had perfect optics and very good canon 88mm. It was capable to devastate T34 from 1.2 km distance, while T34 needed 300-400m at least to penetrate Tiger armor.

True, but it was also better driveability

best in WW II

IMHO

Panther was better. More unique and interesting. Tiger was good too but too square.

The other day, I've made a video of the tanks from Company of Heroes game.
Help me pls. to determine the exact models of this tanks.
As fo tanks I see that this Sherman tank but not sure what model exactly.

It's a Sherman lV
This model was the newest version (produced in 1945) and had a horizontal spring suspension. You can see it in the video.

So, most of all, it hasn't taken part in WW2 in Europe?

The exact name of the model is probably M4A3E2 and it was used in Europe in December 44 against the last German offensive.
The production of this model started in June 44.
The suspension was called HVSS (Horizontal volute spring suspension).
