Every US Tank & Armored Vehicle of WWII — Ranked & Explained

America didn't win World War II with the best tank — it won by building more of them than anyone thought possible. This is the complete arsenal of every American tank and armored vehicle that fought the war, from the 45mph scout cars to a 95-ton fortress that never even made it to the battlefield. From the pre-war M1 Combat Car to the never-deployed T28 Super Heavy Tank, the US military fielded one of the most varied armored lineups in WWII history. This video breaks down every major American tank, tank destroyer, self-propelled artillery piece, armored car, half-track, and amphibious vehicle used across the Pacific, North Africa, Italy, and Western Europe. We cover the M4 Sherman and all its variants — including the terrifying Jumbo assault tank and the upgunned Easy Eight — plus the blazing-fast M18 Hellcat, the hard-hitting M36 Jackson, the swimming Sherman DD, the island-conquering LVTs, and the forgotten giants that never left American soil. No filler, just the machines, their nicknames, their strengths, and their brutal real-world limitations. Whether you're a history buff or an armor nerd, this is the complete ground-pounding catalog of the Arsenal of Democracy. Subscribe to the Military Blueprint for the next complete catalog.
