^ That, the Blackbird, my favourite vehicle of all time. Shame they don't use them anymore, as the more technology advanced, the better those planes got. Also, apart from fuel, they could theoretically fly forever as they go so fast it re-tempers the metal each flight.

Now for another vehicle I happen to like, the Otokar Cobra. It's a Turkish design (but I can overlook that  :trollface:), and some people may recognize it from Battlefield: Bad Company.

Too many to chose among. I could create a list over my favorite vehicles in each "niche", but it would be an awful long read, and write for that matter.

The M4 Sherman Tank, sure they were as powerful as the German Panzers and Tigers, but they were fast, and we had a lot of em'!

Plus, I just like how they look. Especially with the more powerful gun they added later.

Think you mean "weren't," not "were," as there's a big difference, and the German tanks could blow holes through a Sherman.

F-14 Tomcat Fleet Defense Interceptor. I like the "A" version the best, because at the time, it was the best fighter in the air. The later versions were technically better, but the original was the essence of U.S fighter design: big, powerful and aggressive. Even today, a good Tomcat can outdo an F-18 in air combat.

Unfortunately, due to the high maintenance costs and cuts in the U.S Navy's budget, all Tomcat Interceptors have now been replaced by multi-role F-18s.

one of them would have to be Russai's Mil-Mi-24/35 Hind Gunship the "krokodil"

The Hind was considered such a threat during the Cold War that West Germany outfitted Alpha Jet trainer/attack aircraft just to shoot them down. There never was a battle between the two, though.

The M3A3 Bradley Cavalry Fighting Vehicle and the STRYKER RV (Recon Vehicle).

Because I drive them!

The M1A1 Abrams Tank, the Blackhawk Attack Helicopter, and the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. Nothing can touch them.

Of course if ships are included, the CVN Class nuclear fission powered Aircraft Carrier. Specifically, CVN-65 U.S.S. Enterprise. "The Big E."

One more thing... "TACTICAL NUKE INCOMING!!!" (lol)

AC130

The Lockheed AC-130 gunship is a heavily-armed ground-attack aircraft. The basic airframe is manufactured by Lockheed, and Boeing is responsible for the conversion into a gunship and for aircraft support.[1] It is a variant of the C-130 Hercules transport plane. The AC-130A Gunship II superseded the AC-47 Gunship I in the Vietnam War.

The gunship's sole user is the United States Air Force, which uses AC-130H Spectre and AC-130U Spooky variants.[2] The AC-130H "Spectre" is powered by four Allison T56-A-15 turboprops and is armed with two 20 mm M61 Vulcan cannons, one Bofors 40mm autocannon, and one 105 mm M102 cannon. The upgraded AC-130U "Spooky" has a single 25 mm GAU-12 Equalizer in place of the Spectre's twin 20 mm cannons, as well as an improved fire control system and increased capacity for ammunition. It has a standard crew of twelve or thirteen airmen, including five officers (two pilots, a navigator, an electronic warfare officer and a fire control officer) and enlisted personnel (flight engineer, sensor operators, aerial gunners and a loadmaster).

The US Air Force uses the AC-130 gunships for close air support, air interdiction, air missions, bombing raid, and force protection. Close air support roles include supporting ground troops, escorting convoys, and flying urban operations. Air interdiction missions are conducted against planned targets and targets of opportunity. Force protection missions include defending air bases and other facilities. Currently, AC-130U Spooky model gunships are stationed at Hurlburt Field in Northwest Florida and the AC-130H models are stationed at Cannon AFB, New Mexico. The gunship squadrons are part of the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC), a component of United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM).

Here is what it looks like:

Here is what it can do:

Yeah, THOSE ARE BOMBS!

You may remember it from Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, The Killstreak in multiplayer or in the campagin.

Here is a video from the game with the AC130:

Yeah, the Hind was pretty awesome.
