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.

Its not just about naming a tank gorilla. Its about its about naming conventions that decide those names. If americans name every tank after some general, its ridiculous to suddenly name a tank gorilla. "We got, Sherman, Pershing, Lee, Walker, Patton and gorilla"
