Panzer only = tank if you're a naive English Tommy shouting "oh look mate, it's a panzer!" It is an adjective and can describe motorized infantry divisions, armored (tank) battalions, or even medieval knights wearing chain-maille.

It has literal meaning of "armor" if I remember right. A tank is the ultimate in armored devices, hence why "Panzer" or "armor/armour" makes a particularly apt name for them. Tank only works in English because it was a falsified code name from WWI, otherwise you're gonna get tanks called "barrels" in other languages :p

We are serious about enforcing this, and I am sure you all want to be able to have your balance thought considered by the development team with some biased, sensationalist coming into your thread and ruining it.

"Engaged with Light Armour"
"Enemy Armour sighted"
"Armour is engaging us here!"
I guess the meaning of "tank" is quite protruding here, isn't it?

So why not Panzer(with the according sentence structure and vocabulary to make it german sentences Tongue).
