as far as i know, top turret armor are usually not more than 15-25cm thick.

Shouldn't that be milimeters?

AFAIK M1 Abrams in all incarnations is 5cm HHS RHA, T-72 has some 5,5cm (cast), Leo2 I have with 6cm thick roof in my tables... Older generation tanks have generally some 20-30mm, wwII and post-WWII ones even as little as 10mm in some cases.

Plasmakrab's idea to use AP for EFP projectiles is good IMO. Pity I didn't get it myself whiloe dealing with MRM KE/CE for my US OOB yesterday...
