I MIGHT BE BAD BUT I'M PERFECTLY GOOD AT IT: WWII GERMANY: Panzerkampfwagen

The evolution of German tank design, some of the best types the war saw on the battlefield.

The early Panzers I and II with nothing more than a machine gun or small cannon as offensive capability very lightly armoured, so lacking were the Germans in this regard they impressed Czech tanks into service from the renowned Skoda Works - vehicles that say much action in the invasion of Holland and France.
As tank types became obsolete the Germans realized if the did away with the turret the weight savings in turn meant the chassis could accommodate a heavier main gun as a result many old tanks were converted into mobile artillery or anti-aircraft, armoured fighting vehicles and tank destroyers.
The sheer hitting power of the later Panzer types put the dreaded fear of encounters into any enemy tanker's heart.
