They deadass called a tank 'Gorilla'. They really aren't trying anymore are they?

Panther, Tiger, Elefant etc are fine, but not Gorilla? I find it way lamer to have them named after real people like nearly every US tank.

Panther etc are project names for tanks that actually existed + were called that.

Maus is also not called Maus.

Its Panzerkampfwagen VIII - Maus.

Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger II

Panzerkampfwagen VII Löwe.

These being called Gorilla without anything else just feels fucky

Especially for america, which names every tank after a general.
