| Tribuni Angusticlavii | Very close match but I like the Leo2 A6 as well. It came from the same basic tank design as the Abhrams but the Leo2 A6 has seen more evolution. With the proposed 1650hp engine it will have better mobility and has the new added mine protection as well. An almost faultless tank design IMO and the best tank in the world today. IMO it goes: 1. Leo 2 A6 2. Abhrams M2A2 3. Challenger 2 4. Merkava Mk IV |

| Fridgeraider (Instructor) | I'd say the M-1A2 Abrams. The Leo 2 hasn't ever been tested in combat. The Abrams is PROVEN. So the Abrams gets my pick. The fact that they're so similar but one's been battle tested and passed with flying colors.

| Immunes | Abrams. Battle tested, Congress approved! Its got better mobility right now, I dont care what the Germans are proposing to upgrade, as of right now, the m1 has better mobility, sights, safety features, and experience. I dont even think the Leo has blow out panels does it? Not that its a bad tank, its a hell of a tank, just not up to m1's standards though. It does look pretty though!

I don't think there's a wrong answer here - they are both top class tanks. | |

| Centurion | The Leo has blowout panels, but half of it's ammo is stored in the hull, next to the driver. The Leo doesn't have the x50 FLIR of the Abrams and the L55 firing DM53 still doesn't penetrate as much as the M289A3. The M1A2SEP is a *slightly* better tank.

| Fridgeraider (Instructor) | Next to the driver? Isn't that the most vulnerable spot fron the front side of the tank??? Jeez... |
