Funny how I was going to start this conversation topic and all of a sudden 
some one comes out saying they are going to build a modern MBT. But this is 
my question.
 
Why are the overwelming majority of our tanks of the WW2 era and not of the 
modern design? What drives most of us to model after older and inferior 
armor instead of the newer and superior breeds?
 
I chose an M4 Sherman variant as my own despite the obvious flaws and 
limitations it possesed in history. I did so for a few reasons
- It had simple lines
- It was iconic American
- It for some reason spoke to me in a way that no other had
That may sound funny, but I wasnt really overly interested in the biggest 
and the baddest. I was drawn instead to the over worked and under powered 
machine that did by sheer determination.
 
What are your thoughts? What made you choose yours?
