If I am permitted, I like to pick one tank per allie and one per axis.
Allie: Well that's a easy one, Sherman and variants. A true tank of all trades it's versatility is unmatch, good price and performance that can be modified for any role across all allies, I have no doubt that the Brits will receive a lends lease type commander in the future with these tanks eventually.
Axis: Panther a great generalist tank good armor, better gun then tiger and amazing speed with only real down side is it's anti infantry.
