The best tank

What is the best tank!!??!?


If I missed any modern tanks let me know, because know I did

Abrahms, no contest.

your forgot "car with a dude carrying an RPG riding in the back"

dude...its M1A1....

No its the M1A2, thats the most recent version of it.
You say you are joining the marines, yet you dont even know that the M1A2 exists?

Really the only disadvantage to the M1A1(I don't know if this is still true of the A2) was it's massive fuel consumption.

EDIT:
Here's the M1A1:

I went through the list of EVERY Marine Job. M1A1 Operator exists. No M1A2 in sight.

that would explain alot

i vote d4 the wrong one damn it thats messed up i vote the abrahms though

Well, let's compare.

Main Weapon
All three tanks have 120mm cannons, though the Challenger deviates, using rifling, whereas the Abrams and Leopard prefer smoothbore. Generally a tie, though I think it is noteworthy that the Leopard carries exactly forty-two rounds for its weapon.

Secondary Weapons
The Abrams has one 12.7mm and two 7.62mm machine guns. The Leopard has two 7.62mm machine guns. The Challenger also has two 7.62mm machine guns. However, unlike the other two, the Leopard's machine guns are of German design (much like the tank), giving it an edge as far as secondary weapons go.

Armor
All three tanks use composite armor. The Abrams uses Chobham (composite ceramic), but also employs steel plating and optional depleted uranium mesh plating, though this optional plating seriously reduces its effective range and speed. The Leopard uses composite steel and tungsten on a ceramic base, similar to Chobham. The Challenger uses Dorchester (Chobham Generation 2), which is also a composite ceramic type of armor. The Challenger 2 is probably the better protected of these three.

Speed and Effective Range
The Abrams employs a new turbine-gas engine which gives it 1500 horse power, a max speed of around 42 miles per hour, but an effective range of only 290 miles. The Leopard employs a 12-cylinder diesel engine which gives it 1500 horse power, a max speed of around 45 miles per hour, and an effective range of around 340 miles. The Challenger also employs a 12-cylinder diesel engine, but only gets 1200 horse power, has a max speed of only 37 miles per hour, and an effective range of around 280 miles. Overall, the Leopard does significantly well, having the highest max speed and effective range. The Abrams cylinder-gas engine is a bit more delicate, and guzzles gas worse than regular engines.

Overall, I chose the Leopard. It had several things going for it, like German design. It's weapons are about as powerful (if not more so) and its armor not quite as thick, but it can outmaneuver either of its competitors.

Leopard wins.

pretty much for all the reasons Rot said.

fun fact:
takes 8 gallons just to start an Abrams, goes half a mile per gallon.
