Merkava is an heavily armored and armed troop transport less mobility and weaponry than the abrams its made to carry a small number of troops and BE AMAZINGLY survivable for the crew over all the abrams would work the shit out of a merkava.

@matt19k Well, if you wish I could go into a lot of detail of why the Leopard 2 is the best, why the Challenger 2 is not far behind, and why the Abrams is 3rd (arguably, the T-90 may take 3rd).

And you don't necessarily have to be a tanker to know which is better than another, you just have to know facts and specifics, not necessarily just statistics (although figures play a big part in it).

However, the guy is likely just saying what he's seen from a Top 10 video made by a 12 year old.

@drummerrhys14 : how the hell do you know? you been a tanker in Germany, the UK and the US? let me guess, you've never been on a tank and you're just regurgitating some bull shit from another "top ten tanks of the world" youtube video?

@bullstriker1992 Gold is a soft malleable metal, what are yout talking about?

[bullstriker1992]

there is harder stuff than uranium like gold platin... but it is really useful as a penetration projectile even if its not that hard but it has some good atributes..soo its quit good

[leppardazn]

the front of the abrams is depleted uranium, the hardest junk on earth. unpenetrable.

[TITANFTWx2]

considering they're all the same tank, how could they be ranked as such?
