What tank come to mind when you hear the word "tank"?
T-55 is the "tank" for me.

Pretty much anything in the Patton family. M48, M60, M247 or even the M103. One of the first tanks I ever saw up close was the M103A2 and that stuck with me. I still really think they should have gone ahead with the M103A3 upgrade instead of abandoning the platform. Would have made it an American Chieftain.

everything was a t-55 or a Patton to me growing up.

definitely one of these two or a weird fusion, a rounded turret just feels correct

Has to be the Centurion. It's a big box on tracks, with a big gun and a big box turret right in the centre. The sloped UFP also adds to the "tank" look IMO. It's what we all drew as a kid when we drew a tank.

The Leo 1, I remember vividly of the time when I had to go to my mom's dancing classes after school because she didn't want my retarded 6 year old alone at home. I would brink my army man with me and my leo toy and play out battles in the corner of the dancing floor for hours to no end.

My favorite was the .50 gunner, that bastard was the bane of any infantry assaults, always hidden ready to catch anyone who crosses the first line of sand bags.

Abrams, particularly as deployed in Iraq, is what comes to mind first. It would have been Sherman previously, from WWII movies like BoB, but the lower stealthy pose of the M1 as a contrast had a big impression on me.

turns into an APC if you take the turret off

Panzer IV because its silhouette is probably the most easily recognized as a tank. Just like how when normies say jets and think of an F-16

Other than the Patton series, the tank of The Last Crusade. IIRC it's the first time I saw a tank in a movie or shit like that. Other than that it's the Italian tanks from the movie Lion of the Desert and the Panzer IVs in MOH Frontline
