If you look at any list of 'World's top ten tanks, you will never see it at the #1 position, except maybe in battle..
It has the best armour, shares the best gun with its allies, and has been proved to be durable in the extreme. However, the lists mark it down on 'fear factor' because there simply is not enough of them. I don't know about you, but I would be fearful if one of them had its sights on me. This tank can take out anything with one hit, regradless of whose side the recipient of the hit is.
Only three have ever been lost, which shows a better survival rate than either the Leopard 2 or M1A2. Make no mistake, the German and US tanks are amazing machines, but I think that the Challenger is every bit as good, and all should be = 1st.
