I'd go for the Challenger 2, since im British

But really i dont know anything about tanks, and i cant be bothered googling to compare them.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #61 on:** August 16, 2007, 10:17:21 PM »

And unfortuneately comparing tanks is difficlt because most have little actual battle experience

Meyer · « **Reply #62 on:** August 17, 2007, 05:50:08 AM »

true. I don't think any of those tanks on the list have been tested in large scale battle.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #63 on:** August 17, 2007, 02:45:28 PM »

The abrams has seen the most out of them, and then probably the Challenger

Meyer · « **Reply #64 on:** August 18, 2007, 02:21:31 AM »

but neither of them has met their equals. I mean abrahms has only met some obsolete tanks.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #65 on:** August 18, 2007, 02:22:39 AM »

Exactly, no modern tank has been battle tested, although in Desert Storm like 7 abrahms took out like 100 Iraqi tanks, obsolete or not, thats impressive

Meyer · « **Reply #66 on:** August 18, 2007, 02:24:39 AM »

not really. they had better training and equipment. And I assume that had a long distance between those tank groups. Witttmans achievement an Villes-Bocage is impressive.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #67 on:** August 18, 2007, 02:26:55 AM »

It was a fairly close distance fight, the abrahms were the front scout of the rest of the tank division, the actually rolled into the middle of the iraqis and didnt notice

Meyer · « **Reply #68 on:** August 18, 2007, 02:27:52 AM »

Sounds like Wittmanns achievement. but he did it alone. With a single Tiger he stooped a british armor column.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #69 on:** August 18, 2007, 02:28:51 AM »

Thats not even fair though, the British didnt really have the firepower to take down a Tiger

Meyer · « **Reply #70 on:** August 18, 2007, 02:31:28 AM »

but they had dozens of tanks. and they had inantry support. and they were only 10 or so meters away from Wittmann. they should have been able to kill him.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #71 on:** August 18, 2007, 02:31:55 AM »

But they didnt cause the Tiger pwns

Meyer · « **Reply #72 on:** August 18, 2007, 02:40:06 AM »

yeah. they later killed Wittmann by bombing him with B-17s if I remeber right.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #73 on:** August 18, 2007, 02:40:49 AM »

Very nice, probably took a million bombs to find the right target though

there's a link. take it down and you'll see what left of his tank after it was destroyed.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #78 on:** August 18, 2007, 04:10:12 PM »
