Because a forum post should be like a woman's skirt. Long enough to cover the subject material, but short enough to keep things interesting.

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.

Just because you invented them doesnt mean they are the best. |

It certainly implies that you have a certain knowledge of the subject, implying the ability to produce, at worst, average tanks.

Technically if we're going by that logic, Leonardo Da Vinci invented the tank. However, the British were the first to successfully deploy it in combat, to great success.

For every such example there is also a tale of just the opposite occurring. |

No, What the Brits did was Invent ARMORED IFANTRY SUPPORT VEHICLES. The germans Invented the TANK. Anytime you say Tank you think, Tiger, King Tiger, Pazer, blitz Krieg. As Simple as that. |

Depends on the way you look at the philosophy, not the vehicle puddin. Yes the brits had "infantry support vehicles" but they were essentially tanks, armored tracked vehicles with a turret, even if it was just a sponson. If you really want to see the first tank. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Williethat looks about right but they couldn't get the turret right. Back to history. The Germans were the first to use infantry to support tanks, rather than tanks to support infantry. http://etloh.8m.com/strategy/offense.html(2) INFANTRY-TANK COOPERATION
When the enemy has well prepared positions with natural or constructed tank obstacles, the German infantry attacks before the tanks and clears the way. The objective of the infantry is to penetrate into the enemy position and destroy enemy antitank weapons to the limit of it's strength and the fire power of it's own support weapons, augmented by additional support and covering fire from the tanks and self-propelled weapons sited in their rear.

Puddin, quit being a jerk. The Little Willie was the first prototype and the Mark I was BASED off the Little Willie. I know about the freakin Mark I, I even talked about it in my post, I just eluded to the Little Willie to say that it was the grand daddy, the Mark I is the Father. In your hurry to try and make me look like a fool it backfired on you. Depends on the way you look at the philosophy, not the vehicle puddin. Yes the brits had "infantry support vehicles" but they were essentially tanks, armored tracked vehicles with a turret, even if it was just a sponson. If you really want to see the first tank. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Willietwo different lines of thought. One is one tank, the next PARAGRAPHY is about a different tank. |

You guys do realise that tank was just a name given to the project of building an AFV in ww1 to confuse any spies, into thinking it was just plans for a water tank. The idea came about because the early mk 1-5's looked like big steel water tanks.
And the name stuck

Interesting, I had no idea that's where the name came from. |

Sharks are not monsters Henley, they are cute, cuddly and misunderstood. They love humans. sometimes they love TOO much. They love people so much that sometimes their kisses separate people into two flailing pieces which are consumed by other sharks in a frenzy of peace and joy.

Yeah all the shipping containers were labeled "water tank".
Like alot of stuff, the Germans took the concept and made it better. Not so much the design of tanks initially, but certainly the effective employment of them.
On the topic of world of tanks. The low tier tanks get a machine gun. Which is so super sexy. I think WoT changed around alot of their auto cannon weapons though.
