@adhx7506 That would be the Abrams.

@adhx7506 Very much so. They both use a version of the same gun the L44/L55, the Abrams has better range, is more quite, has better armor, better optics, etc and is why it got the name "Whispering Death" when at a German exercise going against Leopards. The M1 takes from the Germans, British, as well as it's own American technology to make the best tank. "The turbine is very quiet when compared to diesel engines of similar power output and produces sound significantly different from a contemporary diesel tank engine, reducing the audible distance of the sound, thus earning the Abrams the nickname "whispering death" during its first Reforger exercise."

@adhx7506 "Try using some unbiased sourcematerial and go collect reports." As I use unbiased source material even coming from a German exercise. "Most will pronounce the Leopard 2 as the most capable MBT. " Most will say the Abrams. "Most things youre mentioning arent even significant and/or false. " So having better armor, better range, etc isn't significant and or false... wow. The leopard 2 doesn't even use DU armor. "Abrams isnt as agile as the Leopard 2 and the turbine of it is insanely loud under force." It's more quite as proven above. Hence it's nickname, the Germans gave it. Don't think this will go anywhere further, at this point, enjoy thinking the leopard 2 is better when it's not.

Yeah it's not really advanced, it's also modular making it easy to work on. If Ukraine can fly and operate on helicopters, it's little different.

We he isn't exactly wrong, most things are known, and things that are sensitive are why they are getting older versions and is why for example the US is sending them Abrams without DU armor among other things like newer optics.

They have before, well at least between the Leopards and Abrams, this is where the Abrams got the name "whispering death" at a German exercise. "The turbine is very quiet when compared to diesel engines of similar power output and produces sound significantly different from a contemporary diesel tank engine, reducing the audible distance of the sound, thus earning the Abrams the nickname "whispering death" during its first Reforger exercise."

@SteuerInnenzahler "Joined Jan 30, 2021" You trolling? "the older versions of Leopards (or their crews??) outclassed the M1A2 (!! newest version) Abrams EVERY TIME." No they didn't that's why the Germans named the Abrams "whispering death" in Germanys own Reforger exercise since the Abrams kept winning. "The turbine is very quiet when compared to diesel engines of similar power output and produces sound significantly different from a contemporary diesel tank engine, reducing the audible distance of the sound, thus earning the Abrams the nickname "whispering death" during its first Reforger exercise." PS I can like my own comment too.

@d.o.g573 "„Your“ gun is a rip-off of a LH/44" It's literally a Rheinmetall 120 mm L/44 not a "rip off." As I stated above. Did I also not state it takes features from multiple nations? Could have sworn I did... Oh wait, I did. "They both use a version of the same gun the L44/L55," "The M1 takes from the Germans, British, as well as it's own American technology to make the best tank." " the optics are from Zeiss-Ikon" What in the world are you trolling on about? "U.S. Army land warfare experts needed thermal sight displays for the M1 Abrams main battle tank to enable the crew to aim the tank's 120-millimeter primary gun -- especially at night. They found their solution from Palomar Display Products Inc. in Carlsbad, Calif." "It has no data-backbone uplink" "M1A2 SEPv3 (formerly M1A2C): Has increased power generation and distribution, better communications and networking, new Vehicle Health Management System (VHMS) and Line Replaceable Modules (LRMs) for improved maintenance, an Ammunition DataLink " " no viable ADS options " Ah so the Abrams doesn't have the Trophy Active Protection system. Who knew. "Abrams is a mess atm…" Based on the above you either have no idea what you are talking about and/or are trolling so this will be my only response to you.

@u.p.1038 everything is, but since they use versions of the same gun(which both have their pros and cons), the Abrams has better armor being DU, better range(granted it holds more fuel to sinces its less efficient), better optics, is quiter, etc and is why they took from multiple nations to create the best tank they could. The leopard, challenger, and Abrams are all great tanks but th Germans themselves gave the Abrams the nickname "whispering death" at their own exercise Reforger.

@ximimi2440 DU armor, optics, turbine engine, etc yep totally nothing.

@denarte6986 From what i have read the Polish wont be getting the DU armor, but will get DU ammo.

@mxtt30 "can your M1 hit a target in full motion at vmax in rough terrain? Don’t think so." Pretty sure it can. "A Greek trial found that moving Leopard 2s and Abrams hit a 2.3-meter target nineteen and twenty times out of twenty, respectively, while a Soviet T-80 scored only eleven hits." "Also the M1 uses the 120mm Rheinmetall-Glattrohr Kanone so no bonus points for you." They literally use the same gun just different versions... The l44 and l55... Each has their pros and cons. The L55 should get you longer range shots, but do to being longer has a worse turn radius for shorter turns in congested areas do to the barrel length. "Although the Abrams is more battle tested, the Leo triumphs in speed, fire rate, more advanced electronics and optics and marching range." The Leopard 2 is 1mph/1.6kph faster... That's like me trying to brag the M1A1 was 2mph/3.2kph faster, it's negligible when tanks hardly ever reach their max speed. Faster rate of fire? First off do you even know what the rate of fire is for the Leopard 2 since it's not on any credible source online... It uses an autoloader meaning it would take longer to reload the auto-loader when its out... Same with the Abrams as it's crew manually loads them and would be crew dependent. Which the only sources I can find for it claim 8-9 rounds per minute... So this is moot on either side since neither of us can post a credible source on it. "more advanced electronics" That's would be the Abrams as we have seen in battle. "marching range" The Abrams has better range as even though it uses more fuel, it also carries more fuel. The Abrams carries 504.4 US gallons/1,909L while the Leopard 2 carries 1,200L/317 gallons. The leopard 2 max range is 340km/210mi while the Abrams is 265 mi/426km, which comes straight from Bundeswehr. The Abrams is more quite, has better range, better armor, better optics, and doesn't have an autoloader. Heck I think we all have seen the video of the Leopard exploding like a nuclear bomb when kurds took one out(not to say Abrams can't be destroyed either) If you haven't seen the video look up "Direct ATGM hit: Kurdish female fighters destroy invading Turkish Leopard 2 tank in Afrin region" autoloaders are not a good thing to have. Both are great tanks, but the Abrams is the best in the world right now.

@mxtt30 "you clearly don’t have real knowledge about tanks. The leopard doesn’t have an autoloader " The irony man. "The KWS III upgrade was to feature a new turret. This new turret was equipped with the planned 140 mm cannon and an autoloader. The introduction of an autoloader reduced the tank's crew to three members, as a dedicated loader was no longer needed. " "About the fire rate: the leopard is capable of pumping out up to 11rpm if you fuel your loader with nicotine and red bull." Ah so you are a troll account, blocked.

@dude861 correct the Abrams is the best tank in the world. Even beating the leopard in Germanys own exercise. Better armor, better optics, quieter, and so on

@Locateson The leopard 2 is still an amazing tank. My top 3 are the Abrams, Leopard 2, then Challenger 2.

@u.p.1038 ?The Abrams is better then the Leopard.

@_Chad_ThunderCock They do actually as it's a denser metal. Look up on youtube "M1 Abrams surviving ATGMs, RPGs and IEDs" That being said, any tank can be destroyed.
