Tank=MBT, not IFV, APC!?
My Choice:
WWII: Panther, later versions.
Cold War: Leopard 1A5, T-72
Modern era: Leopard 2A4-A6, Merkava-IV
Why not the T34? It won by numbers, not by technical superiority.
Why not the M60? Too damn slow, lacking agility.
Why the T72? It is underestimated.
It's value must be seen in comparison to the era when it appeared - and there it was a beast: fast, small, hard punch, tough armour compared to the weapons of that time. It is the reason why the development of the Leo-2 was speeded up. The Leo-1 dominated all tanks before the T-72, Western and Eastern designs alike.
