Well written. Sad how misunderstanding the function of cage armour makes the AT warheads more effective. Who'd want to be in a tank? An armour guy told me they call them "iron coffins". A bit off-topic, but wrt statistical defences and tanks - I read an old Home Guard manual about how to stop a tank column using dinner plates. You need a few anti-tank mines too, which look similar. One of every 200 dinner plates covered with dirt is an actual AT mine. Infantry sweepers have to check each one. Another in every 200 dinner plates is booby trapped with an AP device. Infantry want to check each one really slowly and carefully.
