What is the best tank? Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

So vote, vote, what is the best tank? Russian conception or US conception?

Or would you think bananas?

I would list T-95 and black eagle as different options, but There is high possiblity that one of them would be just prototype.

I would post my opinions later, because I'd like clear poll not influenced by detailed thought of armor technologies.

Both of them just prototypes, yet. And both are classified, so I don't see how anyone could know anything about those two tanks except speculations.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I believe the latest version of the Leopard II has the best performance of any tank in existance.

Though the Merkava IV might be a bit beyond it, I haven't seen any specs for it.

Suffering from ads?

The Swedish version of the Leopard II is often considered the best tank out there right now, although between that one, the Abrams M1A2 and the Markava IV, there isn't a significant difference in overall quality.

M1A2. The Challenger Duex has better protection, but the M1 is close. Moreover, the M1 has better targeting and that awesome turbine engine. Go USA!

Reavers would be far better than siege tanks were it not for the fact that they don't automatically build scarabs -- I bloody hate micromanaging them.

Reavers aren't tanks though, more like self-propelled artillery with smart rounds.
