That said Bradleys are credited with more tank kills than Abrams in the First Gulf War. That was down to The Tow missiles and poor opposition though.
It's worth considering that Allied forces didn't consider vehicles like the Hellcat, M10 or M36 as Tanks
I guess the Great War British tanks would be more correctly refered to as "Landships" as that was their correct name the Tanks bit was just to through German spies off the scent.
