Just forget Russia's tanks, and pay more attention to those of USA and Germany.
Russia's older tanks are not good for comparing with best ones anymore of course. But they are first to introduce new philosophy of tank design with Armata. So why forget? This is interesting. USA and Germany actually their tank philosophy with Leopard 2a1 to a4 is too bad and M1 as well. Same with Challenger. European best tank is 2A7 and Leclerc with smarter way of protecting tank. M1 and Challenger actually today is hopeless. Of course all the NATO tanks still have very excellent firepower. Definitely I suspect we are behind here along with Russians. Japan and Korea both go with 55 length barel guns from Germany and manufacture themselves. M1 may upgrade to take those in future but American shells are still the most dangerous.
USA and Germany start generation four design with Leopard and Abram and improved by English armor technology then keep upgrading everything but the basis is now outdated. Of course this doesn't mean I am saying they are bad tanks in fact still compete with best in the world.
