3. First Tank The British Mark I was a tracked vehicle developed by the British Army during the First World War, and the world's first combat tank. Mark I It was developed to be able to cross trenches, resist small-arms fire, travel over difficult terrain, carry supplies, and to capture fortified enemy positions. 1

4. Medium Tanks When it first appeared on the battlefield in 1941.It has often been described as the most effective, efficient and influential design of World War II T-34/76 45 mm / 32°Sloped armor = 90 mm Vertical armor T-34/85 2

6. The M4 Sherman, formally Medium Tank, M4, was the primary tank used by the United States during World War II. The designers stressed mechanical reliability, ease of production and maintenance, durability, standardization of parts and ammunition in a limited number of variants, and moderate size and weight.

9. Tank Destroyer The latter allowed accommodation of a more powerful gun than could be mounted in a turreted tank on the same chassis, and increased the vehicle's internal volume, allowing for increased ammunition stowage and crew comfort. M18 Hellcat SU-85 Jagdtiger Eliminating the turret also allowed the vehicle to carry thicker armor than would otherwise be the case 4 Archer

10. Heavy Tanks While the Tiger I was feared by many of its opponents, it was over-engineered, used expensive and labour intensive materials and production methods, and was time-consuming to produce. Only 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944. Tiger Ausf. E Tiger II Ausf. B 7

11. Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus (Mouse) was a German World War II super-heavy tank completed in late 1944. It is the heaviest fully enclosed armoured fighting vehicle ever built. Maus 128mm Main armament 460mm Sloped armor 3.63m 10.2m 10

12. The origins of the design lay in the expectation that war in Europe might be fought under similar conditions to that of the First World War and emphasized ability to cross difficult ground. Churchill KV-2 The Kliment Voroshilov (KV) tanks were a series of Soviet Red Army heavy tanks, named after the Soviet defense commissar and politician Kliment Voroshilov.
