1. The T-34
Country of origin: USSR
Speed (max.): 55 km / h
Reservation: 65 mm
Main gun: 76.2 mm
The first place of the ranking was taken by the Soviet equipment. The T-34 was the best in combat power, maneuverability and armor protection. Moreover, this tank is not so difficult to produce. And the look of the machine draws the enemy away. Perhaps the most famous characteristics of the T-34 put it on the first place.
2. M1 Abrams Tank
Country of origin: United States
Speed (max.): 75 km / h
Main gun: 120 mm
This is one of the most feared tanks, capable with only one overlook make the enemies to forget about their intentions. However, the design of the car is very complicated, respectively, expensive. At the same time, firepower and armor of this sockdolager are the best, M-1 superiors almost all tanks of our time.
3. Tank “Tiger”
Country of origin: Germany
Speed (max.): 37 km / h
Armor: 100 mm
Main gun: 88 mm
42nd year, World War II, Germany. At that time 88 mm caliber was considered as incomparable power. Protection of the tank is great too. Tiger was incredibly heavy, but quick enough to maintain proper maneuverability. Intimidation from this tank has occurred even without contact with it, it was enough to mention out loud about its power. But the production of combat aircraft cost Germany quite a pretty penny.
Country of origin: England
Speed (Max): 6.5 km / h
Armor: 6-12 mm
Main gun: a pair of 6-foot guns
WWI first appeared in England in the early twentieth century. Looking at the characteristics, the first thing that catches the eye is extremely thin armor. 12 mm… Today it really does not mean anything. But in its era this tank was the only armored vehicle, and a centimeter of armor was enough. WWI was terribly clumsy and heavy, without any maneuverability. But the intimidation factor was enormous. Still, in the 20 years of the last century soldiers haven’t seen anything like this.
5. Tank “Centurion”
Country of origin: England
Speed (max.): 35 km / h
Armor: 17-152 mm
Main gun: 105 mm
The power of this British war machine is indescribable, but it didn’t have good maneuverability. And it is not so important, because the quality of its armor is admirable. The production cost of Centurions in England was quite cheap; tanks were made quickly and on a large rate.
Country of origin: Germany
Speed (max.): 40 km / h
Armor: 50 mm
Main gun: 75mm
Having a good maneuverability, this military machine struck the enemy with its power and excellent armor. High technologies form the basis of the creation of this tank, so there could be no mass production, the treasury of Germany simply can not afford this. However, frightening of the tank is excellent, in times of war no one could turn against it.
7. Tank “Challenger”
Country of origin: England
Speed (max.): 60 km / h
Armor: classified
Gun: 120 mm rifled gun
120 mm thick armor – it’s not a joke! Stunning indicators! Meanwhile, the firepower is excellent! What to say about the rifled cannon of this caliber, in matters of destruction it has never let down. With all the great characteristics of the sockdolager, its scaring factor tends to zero.
Country of origin: USSR
Speed (max.): 50 km / h
Armor: 203 mm
Main gun: 100 mm
T-54/55 – it’s such mediocre combat vehicles, with cool features. Machines showed a good (not great) maneuverability, combat power and protection. It was easy to produce such tanks. Individually they did not horrified opponents, only massively.
9. Tank Merkava
Country of origin: Israel
Speed (max.): 55 km / h
Main gun: 120 mm
It is very heavy and clumsy combat vehicle with a low speed. The Merkava wears almost impenetrable armor, it raised its combat power and efficiency during the war. However, the production of these tanks is very expensive, but it’s certainly worth it.
Country of origin: United States
Speed (max.): 39 km / h
Armor: 62 mm
Main gun: fast 75 mm
This is perhaps the most maneuverable tank from the list, which also was easy to produce. Good mobility provides proven engine from “Ford”. But the firepower and protection of the tank is not good. However, its briskness does not need it.
