Head over heels in love :)
Maybe it'll be Germany, and details of the Wiesel, afterall every time there's a post on Facebook about War Thunder there's some guy saying "Yes, yes, that's fine and all, but what about the Wiesel and Wiesel 2 with TOW missiles and AA launcher", its become a running joke.

So maybe he'll get his wish.

I've told him Armoured Warfare has had both Wiesels for ages. :D

Well Armoured Warfare is strictly modern-day stuff

No, my bet is either India or maybe South Africa.

India? if they really abadonned their tanks and decide buy from others,they could sold what their prototypes could do.
South Africa - did they had anything except Centurions ?
And,if i was in tank bussiness,i would add some fake news about my products.Maybe railgun and/or anti-missile laser ?

the Grizzly Tank from Battlezone (1998)

Based on the successful M60 series of ground tanks, the A7 is an extraordinarily versatile fighter and the backbone of the extra-terrestrial forces. Its wide selection of armaments makes it a devastating presence in almost any combat situation, while its six-point Articulated Exhaust V-Thruster array provides 2000 horsepower and the ability to reach speeds of 20 meters per second.

Though still one of the most agile attackers in the NSDF, the Grizzly is weighted down enormously by its special grade of bio-metallic armour, capable of equally distributing damage (EDD) over the entire craft. This fortifies the vehicle by making concentrated attacks on a single part of the exterior ineffective.

The Bobcat tank, of the same game.

A less powerful, less versatile older sibling to the Grizzly. The Bobcat was designed to be the NSDF's main battle tank after it served in large numbers during the initial Lunar establishment years, but has fallen out of use since Dr. Arkin's demands for a more effective replacement. Nonetheless, the Bobcat is a low-cost, reliable offensive unit.

The original main battle tank of the NSDF before the Grizzly was introduced, many veterans prefer the Bobcat over the Grizzly as a result of its faster top speed and larger nano-ammo capacity. The rocket hardpoint also allows the Bobcat to adapt to more situations than the Grizzly can. It is noted by commanders that the Bobcat requires less resources than the Grizzly, allowing for a larger amount of battle tanks to use against the enemy.

Original Design
Having proven itself during the Second World War, the US knew a strong and versatile tank would be crucial to fighting on other worlds. This early design later became the NSDF Bobcat. It was all it was intended to be and more, outperforming anything in the German arsenal. The unit was so effective, in fact, that it remained in use during the Biometal Wars of the late 60s, more than twenty years after it first rolled off the assembly line. The original designs were later used again in the production of the Grizzly.


The Soviet 'Flanker' scout, also from Battlezone.

The Flanker is a light and fast combat vehicle ideal for scouting and reconnaissance operations, easily recognized by its wing-like appendages. It is roughly equivalent to the NSDF Razor; slightly better armored and with a little less nano ammo.

The Flanker was the first CCA vehicle encountered by the NSDF on Luna, and was the most widely-fielded of the CCA units during the Biometal War.

In the end the Soviet designer obsession with multi-turret tanks got so bad that Stalin had to act as the voice of reason and tell them to knock it off. His comment was apparently that building a tank with multiple turrets is like building a house with a separate living room for every occasion.

Another interesting story...

That photo is from the battle for Berlin in 1945, noticeable in it is a pair of ancient MkV tanks that seemed to have shown up to the wrong war.

Both tanks were apparently previously owned by the White Russians and taken as prizes by the Commies when they won. They were displayed until the German invasion at which point the Nazis in turn took them as prizes back to Berlin.

During the last stand they were turned out of the museum and turned into makeshift pillboxes, though apparently not very good ones.

Gun is also removable and so are the wheels, so I presume this is not a case of removing everything that can be removed, but the vehicle being cannibalized to keep others going.
Most likely on both sides. The Germans probably just took the flat metal to add it to the armor, as they had no need for the rest.
It's a T26, armor only useful for HEAT protection

Always thought tanks with added armour looked nifty, especially those with spare tracks everywhere :p

Though apparently the extra track was of little help most of the time. The best idea seems to have been this style

Where they've gone and cut up a wrecked tank and welded entire slabs of armour to their vehicle. With it being actual armour the metalurgy is superior to whatever the spare tracks are made from.
One of the best known examples was Thunderbolt VII, the tank of Creighton Abrams who later became famous in the Vietnam war and eventually had a shiny new tank named after him. His unit like the pic above used pieces cut from Panther tanks, though ironically they found that using Sherman armour from their wrecked brethren was better.

Fun fact, his youngest son is a 4 star general leading the forces in Korea last I checked
