Well technically a tank doesn't need to have turret, for example the Swedish Stridsvagn 103 is a tank designed to fit the Swedish environment, it doesn't need a turret because in heavily forested areas those things can get quite unwieldy.

Goliath does have a crew, a single Pioneer armed with a remote control. In a similar way the Soviet T-26 teletanks were still considered tanks although they were remote controlled by Engineers

Is that so? The Stridsvagn 103 Iam pretty sure is a ¨stormkanon¨ btw. Swedish for assault canon. But I havent a doctors degree in the subject so you could be right ; D
And the goliath ofc it has a crew. I meant like a crew sitting inside the tank crew ;)

My English is kind of useless. But that because Iam swedish Wooohoooj! ;3

T-34, the greatest tank ever and she gave even greats like Otto Carius and Johanes Bolter panic attacks the first time they fought one of them. Still used by North Korean reservists and the PLA for training 70 years later. :)

If only its turret was a bit more spacious.

That was fixed in the 42 and later models, but yes all russian tanks are not made for comfort. They are made to be reliable and to kill.

The M3/M5 Stuart. Cute little thing, and dual cadillac engines gave it some zip. No wonder the Brits named it the Honey.

Jagdtiger and Jagdpanther
The Jagdtiger was a mechanical disaster, though I see its appeal, 128mm main gun and all of that armor.

You shouldn´t forget that the tanks had to get ready asap. You can´t develop a vehicle in a few month and expect it to work without problems. For that the german ingenery did a great job because it worked somehow.

They had 2 years for the project, but yeah you are right. Still any vehicle that weighs that much with tracks that thin and that power to weight ratio is a sitting duck in combat, even the tiger aces that got a hold of it thought it was a waste of precious metals.
