I'm a huge fan of the M4 Sherman... inexpensive and very effective, was able to turn the tide in WW2. I'm also a sucker for the classics.

M551 Sheridan. 15 tons, 152mm gun/launcher, M2 for the TC, M240C coax. Fire that main gun over the side and the suspension on that side would come off the ground from the recoil! Most fun I ever had on a track laying vehicle.

"Military vehicle" means land-based to me. So my favorite is the M4A3E8 Sherman, aka the Easy Eight.

Aircraft are in a different category (for me, anyway).

There are too many, but if I could buy one that I could drive around, it would be a Greyhound.

Early war Spitfire for looks

P-51D for sound. There is no better mechanical sound than a Merlin in a Mustang.

But the early GWOT humvees, with little/no armor and shit hanging off them and guns stuck everywhere just look so cool to me. I think they harken back to the old LRDG jeeps and trucks from WWII. I'm sure someone with actual experience in them will come along and tell me that they were horribly dangerous, uncomfortable, unreliable hot garbage, and I'm sure they're right.

But they looked so cool

M1078 LMTVs are my favorite. Put 5000 miles on one and was always happy with driving it.

I hate Humvees. They look cool. That's about the extent that I care for them.

Easily the MiG-21. Old but still in use today. Jank but vintage and ahead of it's time. Hard to fly but easy to train pilots on. Fast and capable of both air-to-air and air-to-ground combat. A million variants produced.

I think the Cadillac-Gage V100 is bitchin'. Chrysler V8 gasser, 4x4, standard shift, 500 mile range, amphibious, turret mounted machinegun. Marine Security Dets at Naval Air Stations still used them in the early 80's. I would upgrade with a multi fuel diesel, an auto transmission and maybe a 20mm in the turret.
