My personal favorite combat vehicle has to be the M1A1 abrams, was a gunner in a abrams during two tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Used mostly for infantry support in Iraq and Afghanistan, doesn't do much against a grenade thrown into an open hatch. Unable to post a picture

The IJN Yamato was originally lauched in 1942 with the name yamato, or 'rising sun', the ship was sunk while on a kamikaze mission of sorts, it was being sent out without enough fuel to return with the plans on beaching herself on a nearby island to the combat and use her 18.1 inch main armament as massive artillery, but along her trip a flight spotted her, she spotted them, but thought nothing of it, little did she know that within the coming hours she would take around 100 bomb and 18 torpedo hits before finally capsizing, while capsizing, turret 2 (2nd frontal 18.1 inch) had been loaded, and fired before the yamato took her final plunge, and the greatest ship the world has ever seen, died. *cough cough* that's how I would've worded it, anyway....

K, onto a favorite German prototype of mine warning, may scare you Americans that the Germans actually built this in 1944-1945!




















It explains itself. However, you American bullies dropped a one hundred pound bomb on it thinking it was a small building, and then it looked like this.
