The Panther I was produced as a reaction to the tanks encountered by German forces during Operation Barbarossa. Having considered Soviet tank designs to be obsolete, German tank crews were stunned when they came up against concepts like sloped armour on the T-34.
 
The Panther took Soviet innovations and supersized them. Entering the battlefield from 1943 and weighing in at around 45 tonnes, this was a huge machine. It was technologically ambitious, seeking to ally armour with speed and firepower. It mounted one of the best guns of the war - the dependable 7,5 cm Kw.K 42 L/70.

The M4 Sherman medium tank was the backbone of the United States Army during World War II. The M4 is the first and most basic production version of the Sherman line. As many as 49,234 vehicles were produced, including the famous "Easy Eight".
The Sherman first saw combat in North Africa in late 1942 against the Panzer III and Panzer IV. They would go on to be used on all fronts until the War's end. A lack of firepower and narrow tracks, which often caused it to get stuck on muddy terrain, were its main weaknesses.

The Cromwell was the first tank put into service by the British that combined a dual-purpose (anti-tank + anti-infantry) gun, the QF 75mm, with high speed and reasonably thick armour. The Cromwell used the same hull and turret as the earlier Cavalier and Centaur designs, but it came with a new Rolls Royce Meteor engine that gave it an impressive top speed of 67 Km/h.
Its design formed the basic of the superb Comet tank. Undoubtedly, it was one of the most successful tanks of the "Cruiser Tank" philosophy fielded by Britain in the Second World War.

Development of the Tiger began in 1937. Mass production started in 1942 with 1,347 vehicles being manufactured in total. Its design was iconic with suspension similar to the Panther and a hull that extended over its tracks. This could accommodate a wide ringed turret mounting the infamous 8,8 cm Kw.K 36 L/56 gun.
Tigers first saw combat in the fight for Leningrad and soon featured in the majority of German armoured engagements. It was the first German heavy tank of WWII and proved to be formidable against Allied and Soviet units which mostly consisted of Sherman an T-34 tanks.
