M1Abrams, Challenger, L'Clair (sp), T-90S, Merkava Mk 4.....I'd say the latest model of Leopard II Main Battle Tank.
Abrams are fast, T-90s and Leclerc are faster. Merkava 3&4 are faster offroad.
All modern tanks can hit moving targets while they're moving. Leclerc and Merkava4 can do it even better through FCS-integrated autotracker and T-90 even much better through bore-launched ATGMs.
German Rh120mm/L55 tungsten, israeli-improved 120mm GIAT tungsten and russian 125mm BM-44 U-Ni-Zn-alloy rounds have the same power through higher velocity (1750-1800 m/s instead of Abrams 1650 m/s)
And in HEAT-rounds soviets always led anyway, their new tandem charge HEAT-round with DU-liner has 800mm RHA-penetration.
I think, what gives me the choice of Leopard, besides the german history of good tank design, is their ability to deploy infra-decoys and smoke screens to hide from enemy tanks and heat seeking missiles.

While the Abrams is a tough tank, it hardly qualifies as the best tank in the world. Combat has proven the Israeli Merkava main battle tank to be the best all around tank in the world. The entire tank was designed with crew survivablitiy in mind. I have seen these tanks take direct hits that would cripple an Abrams and they still continued to operate and fight.

it's the leopard 2 A 6
A very power full 120 mm caliber 55 gun, excellent mine protection end even so for the armour. A state of the art fire direction control unit and a powerful engine from the renowned fabricator MTU
