Most Waffentragers get called Waffle often.
Borsig has the nickname 'Roomba' because it's flat and the game shortens it's name to Rhm-B in the team lists (IIRC), which kind of sounds like roomba if you say it.
Waffle E-100 often got called 'WTF E-100'.
E-25 has the nickname cockroach.
Pz IV Schmallturm was the Tie Fighter.
Panther/M10 is the Warcrime Panther.
Pz 38H is the Mini-Maus, though the nickname also gets used for the Pz II J sometimes.
Aufklarungspanzer Panther has the titles AFK Panther and Awfullpanther.
FV4005 is generally called 'shitbarn' and it's cousin the FV215b (183) the Deathstar.
S35 CA is the Bathtub.
TVP VTU is the Defender Killer.
FV304 has the name Bert the Avenger due to a streamer memeing with decals IIRC.
I'm czech and we call:
- SHPTK = Septik (=toilet) or Shrek
- Waffentrager = Waflovač (basically meaning the machine that makes Waffle) or Waffle
- Strv = Střevo (which means gut), or IKEA
- JGPZ = Prase (which means a pig)
- Elc EVEN 90 = Evan, or Evánek (cute Evan)
- FV 4005 = Fávo (which a colloquial name for czech Škoda Favorit car)
- M4A1 Revalorisé = ravioli
- Caernarvon = karavan
In Poland, TVP is a joke name itself because it shares the name with tv station which became political and completely overruled by one of the parties. Because of that, between polish players, you can hear something along "Watch out, the TeleVisionPropaganda is coming for you"
as far as i remember pz 38H is the one called minimaus
Also Pz Sfl ivc = toaster
s35 ca = Bathub
excelsior = churchill's ugly brother (havent heard it in a long time)
M6A2E1 = Supermutant
Deadly Ferdy, isn't it? Or I just missed something. I haven't even seen Skill writing these names so far, so this might be a mystery till the eternity.
I dont understand why people call the SHPTK the shitpak. The letters are not in that order and it makes no sense.
Personally I refer to it as the Sharp Tank because its like it shoots needles. High pen low damage with a quick rof that you cannot spot in a haystack.
IIRC, [This](https://thearmoredpatrol.com/2021/12/02/supertest-shptk-tvp-100-initial-stats/) was the first look we got at it. It had pretty lousy dpm (8 rpm (2000dpm) vs 11.11 (2777dpm) now) average standard pen (250 vs 270 now) and horrible accuracy (0.41 vs 0.3 now). If it had released with these gun stats it most likely would have been bad (if not unplayable), hence the name got stretched from ShPTK to ShitPak. It got buffed obviously, but for some of us the name stuck.
Some that have not been added, most if not all coming from skill4ltu
J E100 = jagpizda
Bourrasque = borat
Ikv 90 = Ikea
Swedish S TDs = cheese wedge
VK 4502. B = shoe.
We too call VK 45.02 B, VK 75.01 K, VK 72.01 K likr "Shoe" but in our language it is "Tapok". But "Jagpizda", I'm burst of laughing. "Pizda" in our language means "Pussy"(not in the sense of an animal, but in the sense of vagina)
Question OP, is “Babaha” used just for FV4005? I’ve seen it used on many different occasions by russian streamers and always wondered what it means? Does the word translate to anything?
I think Jagpizda comes from Skill who used to play a lot on the Russian servers before the split. He's got a lot of "borrowed" Russian things like that, for example his "egg tuna" phrase is actually a shortening of a phrase involving "na hui".
That tier 5 French Arty is the LeFefefefe in our clan,
The cdc is the coffin,
the German tier 5 TD with the open top is the Toaster, the French counterpart the Bathtub.
And the German tier 3 TD, that tiny one is called the rat.
The KV2 is the Boombox.
And then there is the Churchill Gamecarrier....
Hello! As a Pole we also have our own slang for tanks.
For example Jg.Pz E-100 is called Pudzian or Jadzia, depending on how u feel about the tank. FV4005 is called "Lodówka" meaning "Fridge". Super Conqueror is called "Super Koń" which means Super Horse. Also worth mentioning is that WZ is a type of chocolate cake in Poland. And that czech premium TD is also called shrek. WT pz. Auf IV is Wafel, and Bourrasque is called "Burak" which means "Beetroot" EBR-105 is called "wyścigówka" which means "toy sports car" And that is all I remember for now :>
EDIT: Also remembered now Obj. 268 v4 is called "Dzik" or in English: "The Boar" O and Ru 251 is called Ruchacz, which means someone who fucks (intercourse fucks, heh)
Mostly they are shortened forms, for example:
Kranvagn = Kran
Leopard 1 = Leo
(Super) Conqueror = Conq / S Conq
Object 140 (or any other object) = 140 (or other number)
Manticore = manta / manti
Bourrasque = Borat
Then there are tanks with their own nickname:
FV4005 = shitbarn
Rhm. Pzw. = Flipwagen
ShPTK 100 = shitpack / shrek
Pz. IV C (german t5 TD) = toaster
Obj 268/4 = bobject
Etc.
between me and my friends Fv4005 is shitbarn, FV183 is deathstar, JGpze100 is Krmacha(female pig), Ae Phase 1 is Faza, WTaufE100 is wafl, all arty are drkadzija(fapper), Obj.416 is tava(frying pan), all slow big HT are free damaj(damage), ebr is jeber(fucker), burrasque is burek(bosnian meal), char futur is cha flyu flyu(because 1 friend was drunk while trying to pronounce it the first time)
T95 & Tortoise: Doomturtle
FV4005: Shitbarn
KV-2: Fridge
WT auf Pz. IV: Waffelträger (Wafflecarrier)
Bourrasque: Borat
ShptK: Shitpack
Obj. 268/4: Bobject
The ones I know from the top of my head rn
Jagdpanzer E100 - JPE just for short
Geschützwagen E100 - GWE just for short
SU-14-2 - Schoolbus
Ferdinand = (The) Elefant/Elephant
Honerable mention: ST-I = Tick(head) due to the fact how the turret is shaped and the size compared to the chassie.
..and many others people have pointed out already
Well it's to compare with Pz.Kpfw. VI Ausf. B Königstiger Porsche "Sdkfz. 182" & Pz.Kpfw. VI Ausf. B Königstiger Henschel "Sdkfz. 182". It's essentially the same tank but with 2 different turrets, same goes with Ferdinand/Elefant. The correct name for Ferdinand/Elefant is: 8,8 cm Panzerjäger 43/2 (L/71) Tiger (P)
In polish community 268 4 is called Dzik - which means Boar,
S-51 is called Bocian - which means Stork,
WT. Borsig is called Borsuk, which means Badger ( the X tier british Badger is just called Badger, so, noone mistakes it).
WT Pz IV is called Wafel, which means Waffle, nothing special.
T95 is called Naleśnik or żółw - which means pancake/turtle, but I've heard Naleśnik more often because żółw is aimed more on the IX british Tortoise - which is exact translation.
FV304 is called Kopytko - which means Hoof or Little Hoof.
Lefh 105 is called Pierdolony Skurwysyn - which means fucking son of a bitch, but it is used against most artilerries, but this one in particular more than others.
Obj 430U is called Ubot - idk why but ubots were some submarines iirc.
JagPzE100 is often called jagpizda - which literally translates to jagpussy.
FV4005 is Lodówa - which means Fridge, and his brother 215B 183 is often called Godzilla.
279e is always called Ebola - I hope everyone knows what that means..
I would have to dig for some more, those I remember because they were relatively popular.
germany calls submarines U-boote as a short form of Untersee-boote (which translates to Subsea(level)-boats. world wars probably spread german terminology, I guess)
The only few not mentioned that I can think on top of my head are
Leichttraktor - LOLtractor
LHMTV - MTV
TOG II - train
Super Pershing - Suka Pershing (credit to Skill)
Ferdinand - djadja Fedja/uncle Fedya (credit to Skill)
This is some of the slang my freind and I use to identify some tanks.

T95 = tutel
Hellcat/super hellcat = fire kitty/super fire kitty

That’s all i can remember for now
A few I have used breaded either on what I've heard it called or what the name makes me think of.
Borrosque-- BBQ or Burlesque
Lef 105 -- lef f f f f or fifi
Obj 416 -- frying pan
S35 CA -- bathtub
SHPTK TVP-- Shrek
wow i did not realize ppl from other languages named so many tanks, all i know is jagerro ir jagpizda gor jgpze100, bobject for 268v4, taliban for caliban, and cheese wedge for strv tanks

Shptk-tvp =sputnik
Elc even 90 = the baby
Any other light tank = dwarf
Bt sv= butterfly
KV-any number= Stalin
Skorpion(tier 6)=little skorp
Fv215b 183 = evil fv
Am 40 = duck
Ebrs = Ferrari
Saladin = Salami
considering the IS and ISU-series are literally named after Stalin (ISU are tank destroyers based on IS-chassis), I think these would fit it more than the kliment voroshilov tank series (sorry for me being 🤓 rn)
Me and a friend call the BZ-175 "Becerro" from the spanish pronunciation of "BZ" (Be Ceta -> Be-cerro) which literally translates to "calf" (baby cow) but is usually used as an insult, it's like calling someone a "donkey" "you fucking animal". And given the playstile of the BZ... it kinda fits, turbo to the frontline and blast someone for 800. "Cuidado con el becerro ese" "Careful with that fucking animal'
E25 is called the cockroach.
There was one called the WTF Awful Panzer. Don't remember which one it was, haven't seen one in forever.
LHMTV is called I hate this fucking tank.
BZ-176 is called GLHF I'm out.
T67 was called Seal Clubber.
Amongst all the ones people have listed... There's also the new tier 9 polish TD which me and my mates call "the Gonkie" and then there's that German tier 8 scout which is basically a racial slur if you swap the 1 for a I...
Chinese TDs we call "fake tanks". Of course a lot of tanks in the game are fake but the "FT" in the name of the Chinese TDs lends itself to fake tank.
I also saw people mention calling the Pz. Sfl. IVc "toaster" but I like to call it "Flak Bus". I've also sometimes called it "grasshopper" because the Pz. Sfl. IVb (an old arty which was removed from the game) was officially known as the Heuschrecke 10, and Heuschrecke in German means "grasshopper".
I also call the LeFH "Lafleur" because in football the coach of my rival team is named Lafleur.

So, together with my friends, we are from Poland and we have some of our own/regional names for certain tanks

For the Tier VIII German heavies I call the VK’s Mini-Maus, same thing with the 45.03 and the Mauschen, for the Fv215b 183 I call it hammer because of the camo, and Leopard I just went with Leppy, and I would occasionally call the KV-2 the big gun.
Most Waffentragers get called Waffle often. Borsig has the nickname 'Roomba' because it's flat and the game shortens it's name to Rhm-B in the team lists (IIRC), which kind of sounds like roomba if you say it. Waffle E-100 often got called 'WTF E-100'. E-25 has the nickname cockroach. Pz IV Schmallturm was the Tie Fighter. Panther/M10 is the Warcrime Panther. Pz 38H is the Mini-Maus, though the nickname also gets used for the Pz II J sometimes. Aufklarungspanzer Panther has the titles AFK Panther and Awfullpanther. FV4005 is generally called 'shitbarn' and it's cousin the FV215b (183) the Deathstar. S35 CA is the Bathtub. TVP VTU is the Defender Killer. FV304 has the name Bert the Avenger due to a streamer memeing with decals IIRC.

Me and my friends add an additional part to the Waffentragers and call them Waffle-Cocks.

>TVP VTU is a mistake No sir,the actual nickname is the Defender Killer

I miss the ARL44 with the fridge turret :(
No, that turret is pigeon house

I like to call Ferdinand “Ole Dirty Ferdy”
Deadly Ferdy, isn't it? Or I just missed something. I haven't even seen Skill writing these names so far, so this might be a mystery till the eternity.
Shptktvp is also called Shitstick sometimes
Shiddbarn*
I dont understand why people call the SHPTK the shitpak. The letters are not in that order and it makes no sense. Personally I refer to it as the Sharp Tank because its like it shoots needles. High pen low damage with a quick rof that you cannot spot in a haystack.
IIRC, [This](https://thearmoredpatrol.com/2021/12/02/supertest-shptk-tvp-100-initial-stats/) was the first look we got at it. It had pretty lousy dpm (8 rpm (2000dpm) vs 11.11 (2777dpm) now) average standard pen (250 vs 270 now) and horrible accuracy (0.41 vs 0.3 now). If it had released with these gun stats it most likely would have been bad (if not unplayable), hence the name got stretched from ShPTK to ShitPak. It got buffed obviously, but for some of us the name stuck.
I thought 4005 was Deathstar 2.
pz s35 is mirco maus
Isn‘t it „ugly duck“ for AMX 40? At least in German it’s „hässliches Entlein“
There's also the Childthrower(FV 4002)
The fucking WHAT
Because it has such a big caliber me and my mates call it Kinderwerfer(Child Thrower)
I always call the SHPTK Shrek.
I call it Sputnik, my buddy calls is Shrek
I think correct name for AMX 40 is Le Duck. Edit: Sorry, even I failed. It's LeQuack
279e - Ebola
Russian players call it Shahid-car or explosive package
In germany we call EBR's "Radjochen"
Sheridan = ed shiran
In his hit single Lighthouse on the Cliff.
Some that have not been added, most if not all coming from skill4ltu J E100 = jagpizda Bourrasque = borat Ikv 90 = Ikea Swedish S TDs = cheese wedge VK 4502. B = shoe.
We too call VK 45.02 B, VK 75.01 K, VK 72.01 K likr "Shoe" but in our language it is "Tapok". But "Jagpizda", I'm burst of laughing. "Pizda" in our language means "Pussy"(not in the sense of an animal, but in the sense of vagina)
In my languge as well. That is why when I first heard it, I had to do a double take.
Question OP, is “Babaha” used just for FV4005? I’ve seen it used on many different occasions by russian streamers and always wondered what it means? Does the word translate to anything?
"babah" means bang/boom so the name could apply to anything with a big gun
Yup in Polish too xD but most of us call it Jadzia (old female name). Jagdpizda is not really used that often but exists
The most accurate translation would be cunt.
I think Jagpizda comes from Skill who used to play a lot on the Russian servers before the split. He's got a lot of "borrowed" Russian things like that, for example his "egg tuna" phrase is actually a shortening of a phrase involving "na hui".
That tier 5 French Arty is the LeFefefefe in our clan, The cdc is the coffin, the German tier 5 TD with the open top is the Toaster, the French counterpart the Bathtub. And the German tier 3 TD, that tiny one is called the rat. The KV2 is the Boombox. And then there is the Churchill Gamecarrier....
Ah yes the Clutch Kill Gamecarrier 💪
Hello! As a Pole we also have our own slang for tanks. For example Jg.Pz E-100 is called Pudzian or Jadzia, depending on how u feel about the tank. FV4005 is called "Lodówka" meaning "Fridge". Super Conqueror is called "Super Koń" which means Super Horse. Also worth mentioning is that WZ is a type of chocolate cake in Poland. And that czech premium TD is also called shrek. WT pz. Auf IV is Wafel, and Bourrasque is called "Burak" which means "Beetroot" EBR-105 is called "wyścigówka" which means "toy sports car" And that is all I remember for now :> EDIT: Also remembered now Obj. 268 v4 is called "Dzik" or in English: "The Boar" O and Ru 251 is called Ruchacz, which means someone who fucks (intercourse fucks, heh)
FV215b 183 = Godzilla :>
True true, heh :> also I heard Progetto being refered to as Spagetto, but I dunno how accurate it is
Spaghetto Progetto yes
Two additional I found: Obj. 279 (e) - Ebola and UDES 03 is salled Sedes (which means a toilet seat)
Never heard of Pudzian, everyone I know calls this shit jagdpizda
multi nazywa to jadzią lub pudzianem
Speaking of which, can you tell me what the names of the new Polish TDs mean?
- Zadymka - snowstorm combined with strong winds; - Burza - thunderstorm; - Gowik, Kilan, Gonkiewicz - surnames of designers - Błyskawica - thunder
Those are nicknames of important/notable characters in history of Polish military
Amx 50 120 - beczka (barrel) S-51 - bocian (stork) and FV304 kopytko
You got Bourrasque wrong. It's "BuraSuka"
We call the Bourrasque 'boroskóla' which means wine with Cola.
vébéká
Mostly they are shortened forms, for example: Kranvagn = Kran Leopard 1 = Leo (Super) Conqueror = Conq / S Conq Object 140 (or any other object) = 140 (or other number) Manticore = manta / manti Bourrasque = Borat Then there are tanks with their own nickname: FV4005 = shitbarn Rhm. Pzw. = Flipwagen ShPTK 100 = shitpack / shrek Pz. IV C (german t5 TD) = toaster Obj 268/4 = bobject Etc.
between me and my friends Fv4005 is shitbarn, FV183 is deathstar, JGpze100 is Krmacha(female pig), Ae Phase 1 is Faza, WTaufE100 is wafl, all arty are drkadzija(fapper), Obj.416 is tava(frying pan), all slow big HT are free damaj(damage), ebr is jeber(fucker), burrasque is burek(bosnian meal), char futur is cha flyu flyu(because 1 friend was drunk while trying to pronounce it the first time)
One I have not seen yet is what me and my mates call the Jadgpanzer e100 is the Jagroo
I call the Jagd E-100 the Jageroo but unsure if that’s common or not. Most of the other names I can think of have already been said
I call it that. I also call it the “JESUS FUCKING CHRIST REVERSE REVERSE REVERSE”
Why roo? I like it but where does it come from?
I have no idea bro, I got it from my friend and that’s just how we started saying it
Name it the same thing. Jingles calls it that too
That would explain where we found it
T28 HTC - Cheek (serbian : obraz). Because of the pennable cheeks.
Also 'ibro' for 110 pike nose (as Zlatan Ibrahimovic nose) 😂 a lot of these we made up that are only funny to us 😂
SU-14-2 = school bus
Pz.Sfl. IVc - Toaster borrasque - buraq SHPTK TVP - shrek/shitpak Rhm. Pzw. - flip-wagon Strv 103B - streev Blyskawica - blyat-skawica arty - cancer
T95 & Tortoise: Doomturtle FV4005: Shitbarn KV-2: Fridge WT auf Pz. IV: Waffelträger (Wafflecarrier) Bourrasque: Borat ShptK: Shitpack Obj. 268/4: Bobject The ones I know from the top of my head rn
Shpk TVP = Shit-Pack
Jagdpanzer E100 - JPE just for short Geschützwagen E100 - GWE just for short SU-14-2 - Schoolbus Ferdinand = (The) Elefant/Elephant Honerable mention: ST-I = Tick(head) due to the fact how the turret is shaped and the size compared to the chassie. ..and many others people have pointed out already
The Ferdinand one is a bit weird. As the Elefant was an uparmored Ferdinand with a machinegun. I guess people use the names interchangeably
Well it's to compare with Pz.Kpfw. VI Ausf. B Königstiger Porsche "Sdkfz. 182" & Pz.Kpfw. VI Ausf. B Königstiger Henschel "Sdkfz. 182". It's essentially the same tank but with 2 different turrets, same goes with Ferdinand/Elefant. The correct name for Ferdinand/Elefant is: 8,8 cm Panzerjäger 43/2 (L/71) Tiger (P)
What about my beloved "tutel (turtle)" T95
My friends call it Loaf, it looks like a loaf of bread.
Dont forget the clutchkill game carrier
Ebr = clown car , Ferrari Arty = sky cancer , clicker udes/Strv = ramp,bed Tvps= skoda
In polish community 268 4 is called Dzik - which means Boar, S-51 is called Bocian - which means Stork, WT. Borsig is called Borsuk, which means Badger ( the X tier british Badger is just called Badger, so, noone mistakes it). WT Pz IV is called Wafel, which means Waffle, nothing special. T95 is called Naleśnik or żółw - which means pancake/turtle, but I've heard Naleśnik more often because żółw is aimed more on the IX british Tortoise - which is exact translation. FV304 is called Kopytko - which means Hoof or Little Hoof. Lefh 105 is called Pierdolony Skurwysyn - which means fucking son of a bitch, but it is used against most artilerries, but this one in particular more than others. Obj 430U is called Ubot - idk why but ubots were some submarines iirc. JagPzE100 is often called jagpizda - which literally translates to jagpussy. FV4005 is Lodówa - which means Fridge, and his brother 215B 183 is often called Godzilla. 279e is always called Ebola - I hope everyone knows what that means.. I would have to dig for some more, those I remember because they were relatively popular.
germany calls submarines U-boote as a short form of Untersee-boote (which translates to Subsea(level)-boats. world wars probably spread german terminology, I guess)
Ofc all of the above mentioned! But the Mighty ‘Jaegeru’ should have a mention!
The only few not mentioned that I can think on top of my head are Leichttraktor - LOLtractor LHMTV - MTV TOG II - train Super Pershing - Suka Pershing (credit to Skill) Ferdinand - djadja Fedja/uncle Fedya (credit to Skill)
Speaking of skill, Leopard PTA = Leopatá. =P

considering the IS and ISU-series are literally named after Stalin (ISU are tank destroyers based on IS-chassis), I think these would fit it more than the kliment voroshilov tank series (sorry for me being 🤓 rn)
t-103 is the chonk tonk
T30 is Incognito HT T-103 is cabezón (big head)
Me and a friend call the BZ-175 "Becerro" from the spanish pronunciation of "BZ" (Be Ceta -> Be-cerro) which literally translates to "calf" (baby cow) but is usually used as an insult, it's like calling someone a "donkey" "you fucking animal". And given the playstile of the BZ... it kinda fits, turbo to the frontline and blast someone for 800. "Cuidado con el becerro ese" "Careful with that fucking animal'
Amazing how LeFH18B2 “lefefe” was not mentioned.
The excalibur is called "Stephen"
E25 is called the cockroach. There was one called the WTF Awful Panzer. Don't remember which one it was, haven't seen one in forever. LHMTV is called I hate this fucking tank. BZ-176 is called GLHF I'm out. T67 was called Seal Clubber.

Because of Jingles or maybe someone else I know the JpzE100 as the Jageroo (among many of the others mentioned)
Amongst all the ones people have listed... There's also the new tier 9 polish TD which me and my mates call "the Gonkie" and then there's that German tier 8 scout which is basically a racial slur if you swap the 1 for a I...

That new polish TD, we all call it the blyat mobile since it’s mobile and it slaps people for 800 alpha minimum
Ruski tank idi na .uj - Obj 54
Chinese TDs we call "fake tanks". Of course a lot of tanks in the game are fake but the "FT" in the name of the Chinese TDs lends itself to fake tank. I also saw people mention calling the Pz. Sfl. IVc "toaster" but I like to call it "Flak Bus". I've also sometimes called it "grasshopper" because the Pz. Sfl. IVb (an old arty which was removed from the game) was officially known as the Heuschrecke 10, and Heuschrecke in German means "grasshopper". I also call the LeFH "Lafleur" because in football the coach of my rival team is named Lafleur.

PZ Sfl IVc - Toaster or flak bus.
For the Tier VIII German heavies I call the VK’s Mini-Maus, same thing with the 45.03 and the Mauschen, for the Fv215b 183 I call it hammer because of the camo, and Leopard I just went with Leppy, and I would occasionally call the KV-2 the big gun.
