1. latest model is the Leopard 2A6EX
2. Germany
3. 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.
I also like the Leopard II...the (German). Though when you think of it...many other tanks have infrared decoys and/or smoke grenades.

Challenger 2
UK
the M! abrams entered service in 1980 where as the challenger 2 entered service in 1998
the challenger 2 is at least equal in fighting power as the M! adram and is believed to have slightly more advanced armour and a carbon dioxide laser ranger finder which is slightly better than the standard laser range finder used by other main battle tanks although some may have been upgraded since the launch of the challenger 2
