    That's very swedish-centric, you should have said the swedish uparmored/modified Leopard 2.

    The problem of the Leopard 2 though is mostly that it's manned by liberal euroweenie beer fanatics (I know, I know, not the backroom here) but I guess it could take on the T-34 and the Panther.

    My favourite Tank would be the A-10 Warthog, it has an armoured driver seat, otherwise decent all around armour, is fast, moves in three dimensions and beats most other tanks with ease. Usually beats most other tanks by outmaneuvering and hitting their weak spots (roof). It's only vulnerable to airplanes but that goes for most tanks I guess.

    Otherwise the Panther seems nice in WW2 terms but with modern tanks it's hard to say, many people who know more about the armour and ammunition than I do say whoever shoots first, wins, sounds a bit like modern ammunition can penetrate modern armour like 90% of the time so it's hard to make out a favourite. The Leo 2 certainly has the looks, the challenger 2 has really kewl suspension, the Leclerc looks exotic, the Abrams is boring since you see it so often and the Russian tanks are ugly as always, yet maybe effective.
