This is also my first post as well and if IRC someone said the chin tank had ERA armor?If this is so the armor isnt near as sophisticated as on the abrams.abrams armor as part of its composite nature has a ceramic laminated in the armor which protecs against all ATGMs as far as im aware at least from frontal atack.ERA armor on the other hand is vulnerable to tandem heat warheads which are even made for the old RPG which if memory serves will penetrate some 20 in of homogenous armor.
On the other hand i hve alot of belief in what lenin said ,quantity has a quality all is own!( would lso make a wild guess and ay if we re aware the chin tanks have laser blinding feature or some such thing countermeasures are in the works or already done.The DOD im sure is well aware china is a potential threat in the future.
