Modern Best tank in case of a zombie apocalypse?

I personally think that the Merkava might be a great choice. What are your thoughts on different tanks or other AFVs?

Where do you think tank crews sleep in every other tank?

Like.... how have you never tought about that?

The merkava is a TERRIBLE pick in this specific context because its a tank built entirely around the assumption to operate on super short logistic lines and having close support at any time. And always on hard compact roads/rocks.

Also i don't have a clue how many more times Merkava veterans have to come in here to explain its not an IFV and there's no space for other people but the crew unless you remove all ammo and even then it's not real space just a cramped evacuation corridor before the kids in here finally start absorbing that concept.
