The Tiger, I or II, should have been included if for no other reason than being the most intimidating tank of WW2. The best tank ace in the world, Wittman, commanded a Tiger. For that matter, if they're going to include turretless vehicles like the S-tank, the Jagdpanther and the Stug III should have been in there as well. I found the whole thing to be a complete mockumentation by someone completely unfamiliar with the philosophy of good tank design.
Oh well, at least the Leopard 2 and the Panther made it.

True, but these US comparison shows are odd anyways. In one, the Sherman made first as the best tank of WW2 place because it's ease of production and logistics. You just gotta bend the criteria until it fits your design.
For some reason me thinks the tankers inside these would reconsider such judgement when facing a Tiger or Panther.
