Description
I was doing some research for my Cartoon Character Design class (I'm cartoonifying tanks! XD) and I needed some way to see the differences in size between the different types of tanks. Thing is, I couldn't find any online!! (Either that, or I'm really not that good at net sourcing lol)Anyway, here's what I've managed to put together with the resources from www.the-blueprints.com and www.wwiivehicles.com . I think this should be preeetty accurate... If anyone notices anything ackward do
tell me lol~
Well, heres hoping this helps you as much as it helped me~
The scale on this chart is compatible to my Modern tank size chart, so you can cross reference between the two if you feel so inclined. ^_^

-----
=Version 1 (2006)=
Original chart created for Treadhead project, due to the lack of similar charts online at the time. sanity-x.deviantart.com/art/Thβ¦
- Klimenti Voroshilov-2
- M4 Sherman
- PzKpfw VI Ausf E Tiger
- Cruiser Mk VI, Crusader II
- Type 97 Chi-Ha

Continuation of my curiosity with World War 2 tanks, spurred on by my introduction to Flames of War.
- Infantry Mk III, Valentine Mk I
- Semovente 90/53
- T-34/76B, obr 1941
- BT-7, obr 1936
- PzKpfw IV Ausf E
- Klimenti Voroshilov-1
- Renault R-35
- PzKpfw VI Ausf B Konigstiger
=Version 3 (2006)=
Spurred on by my own interests, along with the overwhelming interests of like-minded netizens, expanded the chart further. Added a sports car and 2 modern tanks, to give us an idea of how large tanks are in comparison with contemporary machines we may be familiar with.
Also added nation tags, to aid in the recognition of these vehicles origins.
- Nissan Skyline BNR-34
- Ford GP
- BA-64
- T-60 obr 1942
- Panzer II Ausf C
- T-26 obr 1939
- T-70 obr 1943

- M3 Grant
- Char B1 bis
- M26 Pershing
- Iosef Stalin-2
- Iosef Stalin-3
- Char 2C
- Infantry MKIV, Churchill VII
- T-35
- PzKpfw Maus
- M1A1 Abrams
- T-72
=Version 4 (2008)=
Added a few extra tanks, thanks to some feedback. Removed the modern tanks, because of the creation of the modern tank comparison charts.
- Fiat L6/40
- Type 95 Kyu-Go
- Somua S-35
- Panzer III Ausf. G
- Cromwell Mk. IV
- Panzer V Ausf. G, Panther
- Karl Gerat
Also added the weight of all tanks for a better picture of the mass of some of these things. (70 ton King Tiger?! O_o?!)
=Version 4.5 (2013)=
A very long overdue fix of the scale bar. Just a quick fix really, just so I could get that off my mind.
I have lost the original files for this chart, so if I update it it will probably have a new layout very much like the Modern Tank Scale chart.

I thought that the m3 grant was a British modified M3 lee medium tank
π: 0 β©: 2
The M3 Grant was a British specification of the tank, built by the US for the UK.
This chart pays more attention to where the tanks were designed and built, rather than who it served. Also, younger me never realised there was a difference between the M3 Lee and the M3 Grant, so...Β Β―\_(γ)_/Β―

Don't see the M5 Stuart II or the Renault FT17 in your lineup.

I'm sure I've missed more than just the TOG. I can only do so many tanks at a time when I update this.

well, all you really need is the TOG, by the looks of it.

The Nissan Skyline is definitely the deadliest one here!

Dang, man. I must've been 14 when I first saw this. Where does the damn time go?

This chart is 7 years old, which is really really old for something I come back to occasionally.

I don't suppose you could add some of the British late-war projects like the Comet or the Tortoise? Maybe even the Centurion Mark 1?

It's a German self-propelled siege mortar, armed with a massive 600mm mortar.

Nissan Skyline, the most feared vehicle in WorldWar 2
π: 0 β©: 1
The Skyline was the reason the US nuked Japan. They couldn't bear fighting them on the *Touge. XD
*Touge =Β Β AΒ form of racing in Japan involving two cars chasing each other single file through a twisty course, traditionally mountain roads.

You will notice a severe lack of tank destroyers on this chart at the moment. I was focused on portraying the various different tank chassis available during the period. Since most tank destroyers were based on standard tank chassis with their turrets removed, I felt it was less imperative to portray them here for their scale purposes.
That being said, once I've explored most of the contemporary tank frames available, I will definitely be adding all the contemporary tank destroyers and self propelled guns as I expand this chart. ^_^

The StuG III is a personal favorite of mine, it's the only tank I know of that started out as a troop support but was changed into a tank destroyer after they noticed that the low profile made it a lot less succeptible to front hits
π: 0 β©: 1
The StuG is a definite favourite among WW2 fans, because of it's widespread use and very impressive track records.
I've begun work on adding notable tank destroyers on this chart, so you can expect them sometime in the (possibly near?) future. ^_^

Omg I have been looking for something like this forever. Lol, very good reference for modelling, flames of war and my future 40k conversions. However, would you possibly be doing one that compares ww2, modern and 40k. That would be very helpful lol. Also as far as the tanks go, you should add the speculated tanks in one. Rattle and Monster, bigger than baneblades, but never built. (Too costly) Last note, thanks for the T-35 didn't know what it was till now.
π: 0 β©: 0
That's really good.
FWIW, and it's a nitpick, that's not a Sherman M4A1, it's a Sherman M4. The front picture looks odd too.
That doesn't detract from a great job. Thanks for doing this.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks! Glad you like it. ^_^
Hmmm... Yeah, it's definitely not the M4A1. Now I'm not sure if it's the M4 or the M4A2, though I'm leaning towards the latter. I'll amend it sometime. ^_^

a splendid and detailed profile of the WWII tanks
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, it SEEMS small, but look up "Worlds largest R/C tank" and you'll find an 1/4 SCALE! R/C king tiger. with a drive wheel behind it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, the King Tiger truly is a massive tank.
But in my childhood, I used to think it was the size of a Mammoth tank or something. I guess it's smaller than my childhood led me to believe, but when you put it in context...
My god, it was a monster~ ^_^
π: 0 β©: 1
yep. That's why i want a more fuel efficient one.

awesome work, this is actually going to help me with a project Im working on
π: 0 β©: 1
Wicked, glad it helps. ^_^
I'm thinking real hard if i need to fix this chart and add more tanks, hmmm...
π: 0 β©: 1
you should add stuff like the M8 Greyhound and other armored cars, the diferent half tracks and stuff too

will the 8.8 KwK 43 fit onto an IS-2 turret?
π: 0 β©: 1
It should fit, but I'm not sure if there's enough space in the turret to load those long 88 shells. You'll have to ask someone more qualified than I. ^_^
π: 0 β©: 2
actually it would make the tank lighter the IS2 is armed with a 122mm cannon. So yes you could.
π: 0 β©: 0
but is it ok to fit the 75mm of the Panther onto a T-44?
