[EliteBower]

1st would be the American M1A2

Followed by the Russian T-90

Followed by the Israeli Merkava?

I like Australia's M1A1 Tank. Although it doesn't have the reactive armour on the side.

Having served in the US military as an armor crewman on the M1 Abrams some 20+ years ago, I have appreciation for well designed tanks.

I'm surprised the German Tiger II didn't make the countdown.
edit oops

The Tiger II did not come out until the war was almost over, and less than 500 Tiger II's were manufactured. Too little, too late.

Nice thing about the M1, is that it could be run off of JP-4, or even ethanol with very little conversion. Benefits of a turbine engine are unsurmountable.

German Tiger II

Now lets put the war to one side for a second, this tank was one of the best
ever made and probably still is today. It was a true power house of a tank.

Sherman crews dreaded going up agaisnt these things, as reports stated that it
normally took 4 sherman's to take down one Tiger 2, now thats impressive.

Tiger II is the common name of a German heavy tank of the Second World War. The official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. B and the tank also had the ordnance inventory designation SdKfz 182. It is also known under the informal name Königstiger (German for the Bengal Tiger), often literally translated by the Americans as King Tiger, and by the British as Royal Tiger.

The design followed the same concept as the Tiger I, but was intended to be even more formidable. The Tiger II combined the thick armor of the Tiger I with the sloped armor of the Panther. The tank weighed 68.5 (early turret) to 69.8 (production turret) metric tons, was protected by 150 to 180 mm of frontal armor, and was armed with the 88 mm KwK 43 L/71 gun. The very heavy armor and powerful long-range gun gave the Tiger II the advantage against virtually all opposing Allied and Soviet tanks. This was especially true on the Western Front, where the British and U.S. forces had almost no heavy tanks to oppose it. The M4 Sherman was unable to penetrate the front even at point blank range and the M26 Pershing (using tungsten HVAP ammunition) and IS-2 (using steel shot) had to come within 1300 m and 200 m respectively.[1] The chassis was also the basis for the Jagdtiger turretless tank destroyer.

you can't really compare sherman tanks to tiger II, shermans were medium tanks for infantry support not tank fighting. America had other tanks to fight tiger II's or they just called in airplanes and bomb the shit out of everything lol

[satman83]

Tiger Tank is old mate xD from like 1940 no match for todays tanks

True but for the time it was unrivaled, and as such as stated above the only real way
to take one out was to consently strike it or hit it some other way (artilery strike or air
strike)
