Though the disadvantages of moving a 120 mm gun into an urban area will also mean a lot of civilian casualties but then again if enemy fighters are fighting in buildings, the 120 mm will blow a hole straight into the building, minimising any casualties for friendly troops on the ground. At least with the Merkava you can transport them and the tanks can work independently. Sure other tanks can go into urban environments, but they’d need support in the likes of lighter armored personnel carriers, carrying the infantry up with them. Since it can carry a full squad of infantry, unlike no other tank, the purpose of this tank is suited for urban combat among being able to engage other tanks as well. Take for example the Mervaka, it would be suggested that the vehicle is a heavily armored transport tank which can go into urban areas since it can take a lot of punishment. How well does the tank perform in certain situations? Which tank has the best armor? That is just the way warfare works, as there are no certain battle situations, but we can define the best tank, by evaluating and working out which tank would perform best for multiple situations. What tank would be better suited for this situation as opposed to this situation then come to a conclusion. (As the poll suggests when voting: Which is your favourite Main Battle Tank?) So what tank really is the best in the world? Well first you need to look at multiple variables and factors which play into a situation. Though this doesn’t in any way suggest the best tank in the world, just users who believe their favourite tank is the Leopard 2A6. Mainly the people who voted in the poll came from the United States so there can’t be any claims of bias since the Leopard 2A6 is a European/German tank. However a poll which we have surveyed since 2008 has shown that the Leopard 2A6 is the peoples most favourite tank out of nearly 600 people who voted they voted 160 times for the Leopard 2A6 in a poll which included the M1A2, Challenger 2, T-90 and Leclerc. People in different countries are very competitive when it comes to deciding the best tank in the world.
