The real tanks that inspired the tanks in Tanki?

[qwds 185]

Could these tanks have been it? 

Mammoth: TOG II

 

Titan: Char B1

 

Dictator: Schwerer Löwe

 

Hunter: T-34

 

Viking: M48 Patton

 

Wasp: T-26

 

Hornet: M24 Chaffee

Very interesting! I think you managed to match the tanks perfectly.

Interesting topic!

I always thought of M1 Abrams as Thunder + Viking .

I like titan most

I doubt that TO Turrets and Hulls take much inspiration from real life tanks, however, those share some similarities: 

Wasp + Smoky: AMR 35

Thunder + Viking: T57 Heavy Tank

tell me that that turret is not Thunder

 

Mammoth: T1 Heavy Tank

Spoiler

Hunter: T-34 Medium Tank (already said but I agree with the idea) (and yes the one in the picture is a T-34/85, but the hull is the same)

This Viking became my instant favourite

I'm surprised none of you posted the Polish Hornet Gauss:

 

P.S. I don't think any of the Tanki Online tanks were inspired by it, but it did make it into GTA V though.

I’ve seen that before, it’s a concept for a stealth tank. Kinda like the invisible tank ability in Tanki X.

Yeah, the PL-01 was unveiled in 2013, so, no chance.

One tank that was 100% inspired by another game is Juggernaut (and its turret - Terminator). The design came from the game Command and Conquer, which has a strikingly similar tank with a rather ironic name:

 

There's also this thing, which is apparently just a cool design by some random dude, but looks pretty much exactly like a Hopper Striker.
Future Ultra HD skin, maybe?

I am surprised the Paladin inspiration has not been posted yet .

The vulcan turret in-game closely resembles the M61 (also named vulcan in real life) gatling cannon, used on jets like the F-16, and F-22

Yeah, I think that is undisputed.

The go-to movie weapon when you need to have a dangerous looking enemy that deals the least amount of meaningful damage.
