Sherman

[martin goddard]

Do you find the Sherman an attractive looking WW2 tank. 0-10. 0 being "I feel ill"  and 10  being Bo Derek. Which tank is  a bit uglier and which a bit more attractive. Aesthetics only.

Maybe a "5" for a Sherman. Functional, not very pretty but does the job. Score probably goes up by one or two if you're Allied and desperately awaiting reinforcements. Conversely if you're Axis it might go down a tad.

Some of the early British tanks (Crusader, Matilda I) were a bit clunky and score low. Many of the Japanese ones down to a 2 or 3?

The best-looking tanks for me are generally the German ones. I like the StuG III and IV (OK, so not proper tanks), the long-gunned Panzer IV. Maybe the Panther comes close to a 10?

Martin, showing your age, Bo Derek!!

And Dudley Moore as the piano player.

Simon no comment on Bo.

Simon no comment on Bo.

Well, panther is another name for cougar, so I think that might cover things?

I would give the basic M4 Sherman a 7.  Rounded hull only a 4. Jumbo 8?
