In all seriousness, favorite tank? The M1A2. Favorite aircraft? The short lived Comanche. Favorite firearm? This one is tough for me because all firearms have pros/cons. I like the M-16 A4 but I feel the round is too small. I like my SKS but it's not very user friendly when it comes to basic maintenance. I've never actually fired an AK so i cant really pass judgment on it. I'm going to go with the 240G. Mainly because of its sheer badassery, large round, and rate of fire.

I could go on for days about older aircraft, guns, and tanks

My own list of favorites:

Guns: Probably the M16, mainly because it and the M4 carbine are the only combat weapons I've ever actually fired (and the folding stock on the M4 is a bit useless when they don't let you actually adjust it, so you might as well get the solid-stock M16 anyway).

Aircraft: Overall, the A-10 Thunderbolt II / "Warthog." In part because it's ugly-cute* in airplane form, and in part because it is a giant explosive-throwing Gatling cannon given wings and a cockpit (and is also incredibly durable).

I'm also rather fond of the F-5 Tiger and its descendants, as well as older planes like the P-38 Lightning, the Supermarine Spitfire, the Il-2 Shturmovik, and the Albatros and SPAD series from World War One (in part because Red Baron was the first combat flight sim I ever played).

* Warning: TV Tropes. May ruin your life and any plans you had for the afternoon.

M1 Abrams the best tank? LMFAO

This is THE ONE AND ONLY Tank:

-snip-

The only think the Deutsches Heer had over the US, and this was back in the 90s, was the Büffel Recovery vehicle. One of the Few recovery vehicles that can lift its own Pac.

I could tell you stories about how the germans felt about Our M1 and its variants, ill keep it short, They love them.

Both are Nato tanks, They share a common main gun. The Abrams on the other hand has a turbine engine and some pretty advanced equipment on the inside.

Why is the whole world buying our tank then? And yes they use the same gun. The German Rheinmetall 120-mm-Glattrohrkanone.
