The one in the unit with the best motor sergeant.

ANY tank, regardless of its age, nomenclature or owning nation, is an unreliable piece of crap. The things weigh over 100,000 pounds and they run over the worst terrain imaginable, so they shake to pieces. ALL of them do this. If you were to look at an armor company’s weekly training schedule, you’d soon learn there are 40 hours of training time in a week…five of which are “training” and the other 35 are spent repairing the tank. There’s a reggae song “Smoke Two Joints.” If you were to write an Army version of this song it would go..

I fix the tank in the morning, I fix the tank at night. I fix the tank in the afternoon, It makes me feel all right. I fix the tank in time of peace, And fix it in time of war. I fix the tank before I fix the tank, And then I fix it some more.

Any tank in the world can, with the proper tactics, kill any other tank in the world. Given that, the tank with the best “overall battle readiness” is the one that’s in the best maintenance program - and that, fine sir, all comes down to the unit’s motor sergeant.

It is said that the best tank is the one that destroys the enemy. Or, from another perspective, the best tank is one that does not hit me. However, in all other cases, in order to select the best tank, we are faced with a great deal of technical and historical confusion.

Personal opinion: T-34 - An average tank created in the Soviet Union, mass production started in 1940, manufactured until the beginning of the 1960s.

The history of the tanks began in 1937, when the Kharkov factory tanks design office from the Red Army's main car deck board received an order to design a new tracked or wheeled tank that was supposed to replace BT's then main Red Army tank.
