Since there are no TF2 classes that can completely match the definition of a 'Tank', and that the Soldier, Demoman and Heavy are the only 3 classes that can come close to being a 'Tank' class, I was wondering which would you prefer?

This battle is really between a really durable Machine Gun, the 'Mobile Artillery' and the 'Mini-Howitzer'.

Heavy 'Tank attributes'
*Has insane Defense and HP (300 HP;350 w/ Dalokohs Bar;450 w/Ubercharge
*Has part of a Tank's armament: a Machine Gun, which is the Minigun
*A Big Target
*Slow


Soldier 'Tank attributes'
*Has a High amount of HP (but not as much as Heavy) (200 HP;300 w/Ubercharge
*Slow like the Heavy, but slightly faster
*A big target but slightly smaller than the Heavy
*Has the main part of a Tank's armament: The main cannon, which is the Rocket Launcher

Demoman 'Tank attributes'
*High amount of HP but less than a Soldier's HP (175 HP;? w/Ubercharge
*Slow, but considerably faster than the Soldier
*His silhouette remains a big target, but smaller than the Soldier's
*Although he doesn't have anything that a Tank would use, he definitely has 2 mini-Howitzers, which are the Grenade Launcher and Stickybomb Launcher/Scottish Resistance


Heavy=Part Heavy-Tank
Soldier=Part Heavy-Tank
Demoman=Medium Tank but with mega Firepower

Personally, I prefer the Soldier as it has better firepower, fares a bit better alone, and can cover more ground faster (thanks to the Rocket Jump ability) I find the Rocket Launcher more effective at taking out enemies than Sacha/Nastacha, and how I prefer using the Equalizer more than the K.G.B.

Actually you forgot about Demoman. He has the same amount of health and is pretty big damage dealer, why do you think he was included in the WAR update.

I know. I'll edit the post and put that in.

I prefer to use the Demoman,
but I have to say Soldier is most like a Tank.
