The A-10 Thunderbolt II (“Warthog”) and the Nimitz-class carrier will square off in the championship round to crown the greatest piece of military hardware after defeating the Mk 19 grenade machine gun and the Abrams tank, respectively, in the semifinals. Neither combatant has been challenged throughout the bracket, with the Warthog in particular racking up some of the contest’s largest margins of victory.
