Top speed would be an issue for slugging around a 70-ton vehicle with a diesel.

Challenger 2 is diesel.

Over how much of the earth's surface can you really go 50 mph in a Main Battle Tank with out beating the crew to death like dried peas in a gourd?

I saw an M1 hit a dug in hull down position cross ways at high speed once. The rapid deceleration kept the plastic surgeons and dentists busy for awhile. Didn't hurt the tank much.
