You've used the 2142 floaty tanks; you should know that it will never work ^_~

Or did you mean tanks that actually fly around, not just hover? Cause bombers do that job so much better...

And, of course, the Abrams is the best tank in the world.

gore below is a quick profile summary for the challenger and the m1a1 abrams from the military channel top ten tanks of all time

Challenger (UK)

First produced in 1982. Top speed: 37 mph. Range: 340 miles. The Condor V-12 engine gives Challenger a power-to-weight ratio of 19.2 horsepower per ton. Armor thickness: classified. Primary armament: 120-mm rifled gun.

The Challenger scores very good marks for its world-class armor, and the maximum on firepower — the rifled 120-mm gun is a record-breaker. Marks are down for mobility, and further down for production. This tank gets a low average for fear factor: an impressive machine, but there aren't enough of them to make an enemy truly fearful.

M-1 Abrams (US)

First produced in 1983. Top speed: 42 mph. Range: 289 miles. The Textron AGT 1500 gas turbine engine gives Abrams a power-to-weight ratio of 26.64 horsepower per ton. Armor thickness: classified. Primary armament: 120-mm M256 gun.

The M-1 scores full marks for firepower and armor — it is the match of any of today's top tanks. The gas-guzzling engine loses points for mobility, though it still scores way above average. For its production rating, the score is low. This is a monstrously complex tank, expensive and difficult to engineer. Arguably the deadliest tank of all time, it gets full marks for fear factor.
