Best tanks of WWII

[Kirk's Raider's]

What about our first true main battle tank...

The M48 Patton is an American first generation main battle tank introduced in February 1951. It was designed as a replacement for the M26 Pershing, M4 Sherman variants and M46 Pattons used in the Korean War, and as the successor to the M47 Patton. Wikipedia

I will have to read the article but the first main battle tank would have to be whatever the British first put out in 1916.

Actually the Patton M-47 should go on the best post WW2 tanks. Maybe one of the Mods @rittmeister can put the last few posts where they belong.

I don't know about all that. From 1942 to 1945 the Sherman was the main battle tank of the US Army as only 20 Pershings's were used in WWII.
A Grant or Lee tank had no chance against a Panzer MkIV. The US Post WWII still used light tanks
Main Battle Tank is just a bureaucratic term.

The Sheridan Tank introduced in 1969 is a light tank.

Tass in their series Russia Beyond makes the argument the ISII tank was the best tank of WWII . It could supposedly withstand a bit from the 88mm gun if it fired over 800 meters away and it had a powerful 122mm gun that could take out a Tiger or Panther at one km away.

main (or mean) battle tank is not a question of numbers it is a question of definition
