You'll be waiting a few years, the M1A2 is planned to be the U.S. Army's FCS until like 2020.

I vote for Leopard 2.
They both have comparable performances in armor, armament, speed but Leo2 is more economic and have anti-mine protection.

the FCS wont be a tank in the conventional sense

Out of curiosity, doesn't the M1a2 still use M60's that require you to open the hatch and endanger crew members or have they gone with a coaxial now?

Huh?

The M1 in 1980 had a coaxial (M240), the loader uses an M240B and did for a short time use the M60D.

I think what your trying to get at is if the Army has installed a similiar system to CROWS for the loader. The coaxial or coax is the gun next to the main gun.

I will defitnely votet for Leo 2 cause there is news that a single RPG round can destroy a Abrams! In this case, it happened in Iraq!

If its the right kind of RPG, a single round can destroy a Leo to, just to be fair. A single RPG can also knock out a Challenger II which is better protected that either of these.
