From the options I had to choose the sherman, I wish the banana had been there. KingTiger looks pretty cool... was the SuperKingTiger a joke or is it a real tank? If it's not a joke, then the nazis sound like nvidia.

In terms of pure aesthetic beauty I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Panzer III, IMO it's the most attractive German tank followed by the Panther.
As for the allies, the Cromwell was pretty nice, so is the IS-2 soviet heavy tank.

Now that's a useful characteristic!! 
I think that tank, called the PanzerKampfWagenMaus, has the Guiness World Record for heaviest tank of all time

I like the KV of the tanks listed, and the Panther and T-34 for the best looking tanks of the war.

Also, the M24 Chaffee was a very attractive vehicle, most people don't really know much about it because it was a light tank used until the end of the war in Europe.

That's not a real Tiger in the pic! It's some monstrous half-Tiger half-T-34 mongrel. Probably from SPR.

For Axis I‘d say Pzkfw-IV with all further mods. No matter how wonderful the Panthers and Tigers were, they could not match the allies‘ industrial machine. Guderian himself said that instead of creating new „Wunderwaffe“, they should have focused on how to produce more and upgrade Panzer IV‘s.
Btw, does anyone play Steel Panthers - World at war?

And just pointing out there's several versions of the Panther, not just one. 
As for the Maus, I have to elaborate that it e.g. crossed rivers under the water as it was so heavy. And to elaborate about the Tiger family: Tiger, Tiger II (Königtiger), Jadgpanzer Tiger and Sturmtiger.
Hmm... the TK-3 would have been a good candidate in this contest as there's no light tanks listed.

I play SP: WAW.
Beutiest tank is the Panther.
Ok, I know you guys will say it is out of the poll cause it was not a tank ,but a masterpiece of engeneering.
Of the poll, I´d say most beautifull is the Panzer 4.
Though the version with the long barrel (Pz IV - F ? Can´t remember) is much beautier.

The Germans were/are masters of the armour.
Sadly for them, they concentrated on ever heavier designs and not on how to churn out more of their killer designs like Panthers and Tigers...
Wars are won by the correct usage of winning weapons techonology.
Not time-wasting or spreading of resources on never-used prototypes...(The Maus, Lowe, etc)

Go for the small ones. They're easier to carry around
If you ever built 1/72 tank models and dreamed of motorising them, now you can get them. These are pics of 1/72 scale tiger and Abrams tanks that fit in your hand. The detailing is really great.
