M60???? no way, it wouldnt in the top 20 tanks that will beat it would be T72/80 maybe even T64 Chieftain Leo1 There are also a Brit MBT that name escapes me but its built for export that would wipe a M60 plus one from Brazil

M60???? no way, it wouldnt in the top 20 Have you hear of the Sarba ? That is an M60. It pack a 120mm smooth bore cannon. It has and advance stabilization fire control system and thermal sight. The frontal armor is chobham type. I don't like to admit that it's good. But it's just as efficient if not better than the M1A1 since it uses a diesel engine.

"But it's just as efficient if not better than the M1A1 since it uses a diesel engine" Diesel and Turbine have both its advantages and disadvatages ... i wouldnt call anything that has something to do with an M60 better than an M1.

Actually the name is Sabra it means "fruit of the desert" in yidish! And is just another m60 with a 120 smoothbore gun but it still suffers the flaws of the US m60. I've been told by an israeli colonel that the tank can be destroyed easily from an experienced RPG gunner. Now this is to be verified.

RPG is not a serious threat as you all would think. Take 4 bare sleeping mattresses and place them on 4 sides of your tank, that will take care of your RPG threat.

Only original 1960s/70s vintage RPG rounds with the piezoelectric fuze. More modern RPG type weapons will go through bedsprings nicely, especially tandem warhead rounds.

Are you sure tamden warhead can be packed into an RPG ? I wasn't awaure of that. I know modern anti tank guided missile carry tamdan warhead but I am not aware that tamden warhard can be packed into an RPG. Thank you for the information

Leopard (mobility) Abrams (killstuffwin) Challenger (dunno, but it might be on par with other stuff...but don't know if has anything particuarly strong.) LeClerc (whee! autoloader) Merkava (who can say no to internal mortars?) T-90 (Derivative of the Russian "cheap but tough school")

Can't think of other tanks I'd rate as "top" beyond those six. Other vehicles are probably good, but still...
