The Merkava is quite possibly the world's best Main Battle Tank. Followed closely by the (oddly enough) French Leclerc MBT and the US M1A2 Abrams.

I'd say it ties with the Abrams, but like you said, it's never been battle tested, so I have to consider it slightly unproven. It does have an auto-loader, which gives it a slight technical advantage and it's main gun is 120mm which the Abrams didn't get until the A1 model.

The T-72 has an autoloader, that doesn't make it better than the Abrams

. That particular aspect was purposefully left out of the Abrams so crews didn't have to worry about more malfunctioning parts. Either way you can take any modern MBT and whoever gets the first shot is probably going to win, hands down.

To make this post on topic

I think somethings missing...

Lol, I get those sometimes, where if I turn a certain way, a building or wall with disappear.

On the one round/tank thing, I would say it depends on the round fired and where it hits the tank. A frontal HE shot can be mostly deflected but the heavier armor up front and can leave a tank mostly intact and combat effective. A hit to the turret joint, main gun, tracks, or rear armor/engine area can definitely disable one is one way or another.

That looks like he's... you know...never mind.

And without wishing for this to turn into a my countries army is better that your n00b army lol pwn3d!1!!!11!!!!1! style discussion, what about the Challenger 2?

**Elwenil** · 03-19-2008, 04:38 PM

Tha Challenger 2's worst aspect in comparison to other MBTs is it's slow 56 km/h top speed when most modern tanks are capable of 70km/h or more.

The Challenger 2's diesel may make it slower, but it's a heck of allot more cost effective than the Abrams.
This wasn't an "optical illusion", it was gone! Speaking of which...

The comm truck you see floating made a leap of faith, and failed misearbly

Ironically, C4 was placed but we didn't get a chance to detonate it. GiJoe was shooting at us from that boat below, the bridge just disappeared from underneath us and we all fell into the water

. We had to end the round because it pretty much ruined the game for the Brits.
