From left to right: Chieftain, Challenger, Abrams, Vickers mk7, Leopard 2.

From left to right: Chieftain, Challenger, Leopard 2, Abrams, Vickers mk7.

Vickers Mk7 mounted a "Universal Turret" from the earlier Mk4, which was offered with different gun options such as the rifled 120mm Royal Ordnance L11A5 from the Challenger, the 44-calibre smoothbore 120mm Rheinmetall L44 or the smoothbore GIAT CN-120 F1, on a Leopard 2 chassis. The fire control system was Marconi's "Centaur".

Personally, I think the M103 is pretty scary

Although this is pretty alien too

KV-2

KV-2

now this can make almost anyone piss his pant(almost because people in modern tanks will be immune to its terror)

 

[Penguin]

Never get in front of a Kingtiger tank ;-)

 

[satishkumarcsc]

My pick is the Challenger 2. The best in the business. Only problem is a lot weren't produced.

 

[Penguin]

Mmm, wonder which one to take

If you can't shoot them, ram them.

 

[Anubis]

TOG 2

 

[Penguin]

Conqueror, Centurion and early Chieftain

100-ton T28 Super Heavy Tank was an American heavily armored tank / self-propelled gun

One set of tracks could be removed for transport

Indeed, perhaps the original poster should have been more specific and have referred to 'post-WW2' tanks.

Medium tanks: T-44 (T-34 replacement) > T-54/55
Main Battle Tanks: > T62 > T-80 & T-72 > T-90 > T-14 Armata

USA:
Heavy tanks: M-103
Medium tanks: M-26 Pershing (Sherman replacement) > M46 = M26E2 with new powerplant > M-47 = M46 with a new turret > M-48 Patton > M-60

Light tanks > M-41 (M-24 successor)

UK

France

Germany

Failed MBT-70 development in cooperation with the United States beginning in 1963 > future upgrade options of the Leopard 1: vergoldeter Leopard (Gilded Leopard) > Leopard 2

Israel
Merkava Mk1 & Mk2 (105mm Centurion replacement, competing with Chieftain) > Mk3 (stabilized 120mm gun & turret > fire on the move. Bigger engine > faster. ~Leo2) > Mk4 (new fire-control system, modular armor, engine)

Japan:
Type-61 (~M47, M48) > Type 74 (~ M60, Leo1) > Type 90 ( ~Leo2) > Type 10

Italy:

Brazil

Austria:
Kurassier (AMX-13 equivalent)

Switzerland
KW.30 (2) > Panzer 58 (10) > Panzer 61 (150) > Panzer 68 (390) > abandoned NKPz (alongside Centurion and Leo2)

Leo2/Abrams equivalent not listed above e.g Rokit K-1, K-2, Altay, Arjun etc.

I should have added excluding WW1 tanks. I meant only to start from WW2 and then the standard MBT.

Hmm, I was at AUSA where the SEPv3 was being shown, working a booth, but don't appear to be in the pics.
