O.K. of all the 255,000 registered users only these few brave soles will tell us what they think a "good" MBT is?

I'll be one of those brave soles

I think a good MBT has to have great firepower,Speeds a must,small size is good,armour has to be good but cost affective,maintenance must be quick and simple,range is a must, as for weight that is the last thing on my mind[though it has to be light enough to transport by plane], and crew protection is a must have.

I think that makes a good MBT

Compromise between mobility and protection, firepower being an uncompromisable requisite.
That's my version for the time being, swap around the word in bold in the sentence above to your liking .

Also, no one ever thinks about this (except tankers, I guess), but reliability, maintainability, general sturdiness and affordability are musts. You don't want your mother-of-all-tanks to fall apart ten meters after rolling out of the assembly line...

I really hope you are not part of the engineering team designing the next generation MBTs!

And BTW "HE" has certainly solved the rapid deployment issue!

PlasmaKrab,

You can now add a fourth attribute IMHO, :- vision.
Having a rating of forty when your opponent has less is a pretty devastating advantage as demonstrated in the last two Gulf wars (walkovers?).

Firepower
Range
Accuracy
Agility
Passive protection
Active protection
Reliability
Survivability
Vision

Note : for the vision just avoid to use IL,TL and other kind of vision device in day light condition, fog, sandstorm, dust, snow ... or you will just see a big green screen .
