I have encountered many great/cool war vehicles over the years playing games however this one has always remained number one for me:

Red Alert's Mammoth Tank :cool:
Red Alert: Mammoth Tanks - YouTube
p.s. Could be the Klepacky's music that made this tank so memorable since I'm a great fan of his game tracks.
Edit: this topic should go to general gaming, sorry guys.

The MonkeyLord is definitely bad ass, I'd spam ten+ of them across the map. But the Mars Pattern Baneblade edges out.

Helicopters and futuristic VTOLs (that are basically futurised helicopters).

The Galaxy has always, and will always, be my all time favorite vehicle. Troops drops, gunship variants, dropping vehicles, what's NOT to love?

The unholy Spam tank of Red Alert 2, the Prism Tank. I swear to god EVERYONE made nothing but these that played Allies in the late-game. I guess that's what makes it so memorable to me. Not to mention its badass as hell.

I didn't know about the secret missions actually. I just encountered them in Aftermath in a couple multiplayer skirmish maps.
They had all kinds of weaponry including Tesla coils and fire balls.
Then there's that one awesome robot dog Chitzkoi and his minion Volkov.

Well hovertanks in general I love, probably because of the magrider. I love that thing.
Almost hate to say I like Star Wars with how bad things have gotten with the revisions, but the TIE Defender is one of my favorites.

+1 for the TIE Defenders as far as individual vehicles. I will say however that I HIGHLY enjoy flying the AH-6 little bird in the Desert Combat mod for the original Battlefield 1942. There were games when I would go 100-5 k-d. I could fly that thing under bridges, land it on a dime (or rooftop), etc. I still think the Desert Combat mod had far better helicopter physics than any of the more recent BF games.

Uhm, Baneblade anyone?
11 guns on it. About twice the size of any other tank, with about thrice the firepower.
I want something like this in Planetside 2. Massive, slow moving, takes 6 people to full operate, massive cooldown times, only certain people can get them (most tank kills for the last week, or something).
DOES. WANT.

I can't imagine how it could fit into PS2 well....
But that doesn't change the fact that Baneblade is King. :D

Although if they ever do manage to put this into a game, my opinion will change for obvious reasons:

The Advanced PatCom from Independence War 2.
http://www.i-war2.com/images/advanced_patcom.jpg
Thing was just pure sex to fly after that garbage scow you got in the beginning of the game. Sleek, well armed, and fast as hell.
A solid runner up would be the Fatboy from Supreme Commander.
http://static.gamesradar.com/images/mb//GamesRadar/us/Games/S/Supreme%20Commander/Bulk%20Viewers/PC/2007-02-16/uef_fatboy1--screenshot_large.jpg
4 large, high damage, AV turrets with the best range of any weapon in the game outside of arty, 4 AA turrets for air cover, an area shield to give escorts some cover, amphibious(with 4 more torpedo launchers), 2 air pads for escorts to refuel/repair at, AND is a mobile factory. Set it up in a good choke point and forget about anything being able to get by it.
For pure multiplayer rape, definitely the MI-28 from BF-2. That nose cannon just tore everything up. Hard.
Oh, and +1 to the Tie Defender. So.. you're going to give me 4 laser cannons, 2 ion cannons, a huge pool of hitpoints, AND the speed of an A-wing? I'll take it!

I thought i was like one of the only people to buy that game. God i loved that game, i wish i could find it and play it again.
I always loved any Constitution Class Heavy Cruiser from any Star Trek game that was out there.. I don't think Bridge Commander had one but the D was a good substitute. Also Miranda Class (the Reliant.. from hell's heart.. etc)

Aw yeah! It's a shame that so few people have played Blue Planet, it's such an amazing mod. I've never had the feeling of being in a desperate losing war more than in Part 2 of the thing, and the end left me speechless.

My top three would be:
1) Age of Empires 2 Cobra. Best cheat ever. I mean come on, the thing had machine guns mounted to the doors!

2) "GOLIATH ONLINE." (From Starcraft, for any weirdos out there who don't know :D)
http://cdn0.hark.com/images/000/022/160/22160/original.0
3) Not sure if this counts as a "war vehicle", but I'm in love with Future Cop. What can I say? I'm a sucker for bipedal mechs. (Especially when they can transform into hovercars)

I've always been rather partial to At-AT's from Galactic Battlegrounds. Love making armies of them, despite the massive resource consumption. But it's usually worth it.
