KhPZ T-54

Goldeneye 007 (2010)
It's not a T-54, it's a weird fictional tank with a T-72-style hull and a turret that looks like a strange combination of T-72 and Chieftain.

Probably Fisher like the M26 if it had ever been manufactured.

Shape doesn't match and it's extremely unlikely the designers would have even heard of that.

Looks like it's a really badly-done ZSU-23-4 with the polycount so low they couldn't even give it all four barrels.

Made for game, no tank looks like that.

Mazda Kaan

Car Town (2010)
Any concept car designed to be made more than one year into the future must be a ludicrous monstrosity that nobody in their right mind either would or could drive. Seriously, there are actual laws that say so.

What you can't see here is it only has one rear wheel: www.carbodydesign.com/archive/2008/10/21-mazda-kaan/

And yeah, it's another one of those cars that will be possible if we just get around to inventing the completely imaginary technology that makes it even slightly workable. Also gotta love the idea of "incredibly tight formations" of 30-car teams going at 250mph with the cars apparently made of carbon fibre and spit, what motor racing really *needs* is to get back to the kind of per-race death counts it had a hundred years ago.

Vickers Challenger 1

Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation (2007)
Challenger 2, not 1. You can tell because of the sight above the main gun, general turret shape, and no stowage on the turret side.
Made for Game Tank

Hell-Copter (1998)
That's not a PT-72, it's a Leopard 2. Turret looks like a very badly mutated M60 Patton turret. This is not real; you wouldn't build an AA vehicle without any fire control systems, and there's not a single radar on this.

Hull shape is completely wrong for that, it's an ARTEC Boxer MRAV.

MIAG Sd.Kfz. 173 Jagdpanzer V 'Jagdpanther'

World of Tanks (2011)
Jagdpanthers were produced by MIAG, Maschinenfabrik Niedersachsen-Hannover (MNH), and Maschinenbau und Bahnbedarf (MBA). Original manufacturer of the chassis was MAN AG, and since the running gear is the same and the other manufacturers just did hull mods for the casemate, you might want to use that as the manfacturer's name.

General Dynamics M1A2 'Abrams'

Saints Row: The Third (2011)
TUSK doesn't make it an A2 model, you can stick the reactive armour on an A1 since it's just attached to the outside of the hull. Wikipedia even has an image of an A1 with TUSK fitted here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:M1A1_Abrams_with_Integrated_Management_System_new_Tank_Urban_Survivability_Kit_Dec._2007.jpg

Having a CIS makes it an A2 model. It doesn't have one, so it's an A1.
Cadillac Gage Commando V-100

This is actually a Soviet BRDM-2 with a flattened rear and the side doors of a Commando. Ref:

I found this www.vregs.com/registration/DY05DHV

Though obviously, the number plate is useless for ID anyway since they probably just made one up rather than copying it from a real vehicle.

Stretched Oshkosh HEMTT?
Krauss-Maffei Leopard 2A7

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2011)
Leopard 2A7+ is the correct model, not A6.
Almaz-Antey S-300V Antey-300V

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2011)
The vehicle is an SA-12A "Gladiator" (S-300V) 9A83 TELAR (Transporter Erector Launcher And Radar). The chassis is a T-80 derivative made by KB Kirov Zavod called Item 830, but the correct ID name is probably "9A83 TELAR."

Oshkosh HEMTT

Homefront (2011)
This has ten wheels, a HEMTT has eight. Also the cab's way too low to the ground and a HEMTT doesn't have a front radiator grill.
General Dynamics M1A2 'Abrams'

Saints Row: The Third (2011)
Still an M1A1, not an A2...
Made for Game Tank

Saints Row: The Third (2011)
It's a Merkava, not an Abrams. Seriously, why does everyone instantly ID every unknown tank as an Abrams?
General Dynamics M1A2 'Abrams'

Saints Row: The Third (2011)
As another sign of this being an A1, this has the older production treads which you'd only see on an A1, the A2 treads have rectangular blocks rather than rectangles with two of the corners cut off as here. Both the pics I provided have the newer treads.
General Dynamics M1A2 'Abrams'

Saints Row: The Third (2011)
Spartan: "Commander's Independant Sight," also CITV (Commander's Independant Thermal Viewer). It's a rotating thermal sight added as part of the A2 package, and goes on the left (tank's left) side of the turret in front of the loader's hatch.

Here is an M1A1 with no CIS (note the disc-shaped mounting on the turret in front of the loader's machine gun; this is blanked off on the A1 and is where the CIS goes on the A2). Here is an M1A2; see the tall cylinder with a black front on top of the turret? That's the CIS. This one here doesn't seem to have one.

Oshkosh HEMTT

Homefront (2011)
I think this is based on a Dong Feng-built 6x6 with the layout altered substantially: the thing on the back is a Type 90 35mm cannon, which is a Chinese licensed copy of the Oerlikon GDF-002 35mm cannon.

Here is a link to a picture of the real vehicle.

Yeah, T55. The searchlight is a dead giveaway.

How on earth is this a Protze? It's M4G.
Uralvagonzavod T-72

007 Racing (2000)
I know. I mean it looks like another angle shot of the tank we've got ID'd as an Abrams for this game, here: www.igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=9279. It's certainly not a T-anything with that big Western turret on it, but the hull looks like T-72.

Malyshev T-64

Rambo III (1989)
It's based on the fake T-72 from the movie, originally built by Veluzat Armored Vehicles of Newhall, California for the movie Red Dawn. Apparently the hull was a surplus M8A1 Cargo Tractor.

Probably supposed to be a MAZ-543 with a Scud, though it's not exactly faithful.

Actually, with my brain switched on: MBT-70, as per the series' usual obsession with obscure prototype hardware.
Made for Game Tank

Hell-Copter (1998)
Twin guns might be typical for AA, but they're usually mounted to the sides to the turret on modern vehicles, not in the middle like that. The hull looks like a Leopard 2, but I don't know of any AA gun based on that chassis.

Kinda strange it's an A2 here since it was an A1 in Twin Snakes and MGS1. I guess the magical elves that have been keeping Metal Gear Rex in working order took some time out to update it.

A Walker Bulldog with a fume extractor and thermal sleeve? Looks more like a Chieftain with the wrong number of roadwheels.

Made for game, the hullform is totally wrong for a Merkava and the turret's not right either. Looks like some weird Leopard 1 modification.

MANTAK / IDF Merkava. The turret is, anyway, the hull looks like it's from something else entirely, possibly an M60 Patton.
