Tuccy: Not really. "Tank is dead" and "armor is obsolete" is a motto that
went on since... Well, actually since first tanks and still doesn't
work ;) The AT weapons work perfectly... Under test conditions and
vs. obsolete targets mostly. In combat deployment, their accuracy
is usually much less than desired and hits under ideal conditions
are rare. So heavy armor still has a very strong role (after all,
as shown for example in Afghanistan). After all... If a super-rare
weapon can penetrate it, it still provides protection from most
common battlefield threats... And even with the superweapon, armor
can at least mitigate the effect.
