The Poking Tank looks like a T-72 with its main armament stupidly replaced with a pain assembly. This would mean that the Abrams has the upper hand, but it all depends on the PT's missiles.

So THIS is the reason you asked that question at SB eh Shinova?
FYI, Shinova didn't make that picture.

I'm giving to the Abrams, the missile tubes look like those of the AT-16, which should kill an M1A2, but would be far more limited in action compared to a gun.
The poking tank will also be unbalanced and have crap mobility

Well seeing as how the "Poking Tank" would serve no real military function other than as a battalion's mascot, I believe the match goes to the M1A2, if not in straight battle, then in functionality.

First, I have to know the armor strength and missile power of the poking tank. For now, I'm saying the Abrams will win. It's real, it's practical, and has a lot of power.

I mentioned that several times here. They probably labeled it Shinova's cause I carried the poking tank into sd.net or something. But anyway, I claim no ownership to the poking tank.
Just to elaborate. Gabooz was a member of SpaceBattles. A Russian. He enjoyed poking newbies. Not saying POKE but posting images of poking sticks.
He also believed without a shadow of a doubt all Russian equipment is superior to American counterparts. As the Poking Tank can be considered Russian, this applies here as well.
Sadly, Comrade Gabooz left not in a bang but a wimper to the outer rim...
