Leopard, Challenger or M1A2, which would you choose?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

M1A2 with MRM-CE and XM1028 rounds and a TROPHY like system. It would be able to accurally take out a tank without actually seeing the target, while the tagets couldn't take out the M1A2 even when teh M1A2 was spotted.

Answer 3

Choose for what?

The M1 Abrams series tanks have been battle tested and are very effective.

I don't think any Leopard tanks have been deployed in war yet.

The Challenger is a good tank, but having been around and driven and shot rounds out of all three, I would take the M1A2.

Answer 4

Lance missile with a nuclear tipped warhead, and the M1A2 to go in there in MOPP gear and clean up the mess.

Answer 5

M1A2, I've seen what they can do....not so sure about the other ones.

Answer 6

m1a2 for sure

Answer 7

A radio, the frequency of a nearby MLRS battery and the coordinates of the armor in the open.
