Strongest World War 2 Tanks?

[The Spartan (Returns)]

looking at wiki i saw a lot of WWII tanks.

now is it the Tiger Ace II? (the strongest)

M26 Pershing< Panthers
Tiger AceII<M26 Pershing

excuse if im incorrect.

[Marshal Murat]

Well, the Pershing shouldn't be considered since it didn't really participate in WW2.
I'd say something like a Soviet model, or a Tiger.

[The Spartan (Returns)]

IS-2
how bout that.

[Marshal Murat]

I would say bingo.

Especially the part about knocking a tanks turret off.

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Like most of these questions, there is a lot of relativity involved.

In the late war, the top Heavy tanks would have been:

IS-2/3 Soviet Heavy. Extremely well armored and possessed of a heavy gun. Expensive to produce, though less so than the German heavies.

Tiger II German Heavy. Corrected the weaknesses in the armoring of the Tiger I, though only marginally better gunned. Expenseive to produce.

Though not strictly considered "tanks" Germany also produced a couple of very effective turretless tank destroyers -- The PZj 4 & 5 -- that would have been very difficult if fielded in numbers. The heaviest Pzj -- the Huge mark 6 -- was barely beyond prototype stages when the war ended.


Among Main Battle Tanks:

Russian T-34/85 Soviet MBT. Reliable, quick, nicely armored and with a solid gun (outclassing the German standard 75). Relatively inexpensive and easy to use. Just a good all-around AFV (many would argue the best of the entire conflict, and with a good deal of justification), that stayed in production well into the 1950's.

German Pzkw-Vg Panther. excellent frontal armor and possibly the best gun in mounted by any tank during that war on a kill per cost ratio (including night-firing equipment). Much more expensive than the T34-85 and the earlier models were really plagued with drive train bugs. Never produced in the numbers the mark 2-4's were.

M-26 Pershing. Good armor and mounting a reliable 90mm gun, easily the best tank America produced during that war and the only one that could have taken the field against the T-34/85 on more or less equal terms. Saw VERY limited service in Europe just before the close of hostilities.

i would say the strongest ww2 tank was the Soviet T34 tank,masslyproduced and the best tank in the war

[Kralizec]

M-26 Pershing. Good armor and mounting a reliable 90mm gun, easily the best tank America produced during that war and the only one that could have taken the field against the T-34/85 on more or less equal terms. Saw VERY limited service in Europe just before the close of hostilities.

During the Korea war, the Pershings were the only tanks the Americans had that could penetrate the armour of the enemy's T-34's.
