    for some reason i like german tanks so much proberly because they are big powerful and tons of armour but the only weekness was really from the air or from getting stuck in the mud and the only allied tanks i like are the vallentine 2 tank and the churchel tank. another thing i like is they look big and bad and they were so good like there was a german tank gunner who knocked out 273 tanks whick is lotes. the panthers and tigers man are they alsom the weekness to the panther is the side armour the tigers is the under belly.

    This M4A1 Sherman has been fitted with the rocket launcher T72. This apparatus carried sixty 4.5" (11cm) spin-stabilized rockets, and although the rockets were too inaccurate for engaging point targets the launcher was very useful for area saturation. Azimuth aim was accomplished by traversing the turret, and elevating the tank's gun elevated the T72 as well thanks to the connecting arm. The smooth curves of the M4A1's cast hull are obvious, and contrast starkly to the tanks below. The plate above the middle suspension bogie is applique armor welded to the tank to provide more protection to the left sponson ammunition stowage rack. The gun mount on this tank is the early M34, which had separate shields for the 75mm gun and coaxial machine gun. (Picture courtesy Armor Foto.)

    That is a Calliope isn't it? I am not very good at allied tanks, but I am pretty sure that is a Sherman Calliope rocket launcher
