Yeah, but whatcha gonna do against ATGM's (Kornet, Konkurs, Javelin, etc.) fired from a mile or more away in open country? Infantry might spot the firing position but even so they've only got maybe 10-15 seconds to interfere. If the tank crew doesn't spot the firing team and neutralize it first, evade or have onboard anti-missile systems it's practically dead meat. Unless they can pray to a Higher Being...
