On another point then, is it correct that a milan would bounce off the side of a T72 turret 4 times in a row on the same turn?
Depends. Mostly on what type of Milan and what type of T72. The Milans have HEAT penetrations ranging from 60 to 100 depending on the variant (from french ob) and T72's have frontal turret armor vs HEAT from 52 to 108, excluding ERA, ARENA, etc (from russian ob).
Add in angle of attack and the variable actual penetration of a HEAT warhead and an early Milan vs early T72 or late Milan vs late T72 has indeed a good chance of bouncing off 4 times in a row, excluding ERA and ARENA effects, but assuming you hit the front of the turret.
