Hi,Smidgeperson,
In my opinion it is the Panzerkampfwagen VI Sdkfz 181,otherwise known as the Tiger.
Ok,it's not in service today,apart from at Bovington Tank Museum,but you have to admit it's a scary piece of kit with a proven battle record.
Since I'll never get to ride in one,the Challenger II is a safe bet- even Jeremy Clarkson couldn't outrun one in the new Landrover,so it must be lethal.

Leopard IIS. Superior all the way around. Its construction, armor, auxillary engine, fire control system, auto loading system, etc, just a superbly designed machine. Arguably, much better than the M1, and perhaps even the challenger. The leopard has been imitated many times from its original configuration, even the M1 was trying to emulate its features..

Probably M1 Abrams but the Leopard is a mean beast....But in a battle scenario I would say me on two feet Tanks a big target they recon 20 secs life span in battle....I was in Gulf 1 tagging targets in forward op's and we tagged T-72 then the fly boys would waste them...when you see a tank hit from the air you decide No thanks Mate not a good place to be........Any tank is Bolloxs if hit from above and that is war and that is War....

I like the Challenger 2. Of course, I'm partial to the M1A2.
There really isn't too much difference...
Ok, one thing about the Leopard, the autoloader is the Achilles heal. It takes too long to reload when you run out.
It's a good tank, though. I have found that German tankers are some of the best in the world. I say that as an American tanker.

Got to agree with you there, the Challenger 2 is by far the best MBT in the world today.
