Panzerfaust 3 defeats M1A2 SEP front - realistic ?

[Horses]

Hello,

I'm just playing a mission in a campaign where I employ M1A2 SEP against Japanese Forces.

Japanese Force are equipped with german Panzerfaust 3 IT-600 DC which are VERY dangerous to my M1A2 SEP's. Currently, I have a high loss ratio.

Is it realistic that these modern Panzerfaust can penetrate front armour of M1A2SEP ?

81 front glacis HEAT armour can be penetrated by 90 HEAT pen, now and then. Your 150 front turret cannot be.

Modern AT weapons can deal with at least some modern tanks, especially from the sides.

Also it might get "critical hit" - esp. since LAW's etc. fire from close proximity.

If an infanteer with one of these weapons has the nerves and knowledge or even just sheer luck, scratch one MBT. Never a good idea to get into urban or other locations where infantry can get the drop on your primary assets without plenty of your own infantry. Without a lot details I'm thinking this maybe what is happening. I played the JDF once against PRC and those guys are pretty tough certainly didn't stay suppressed long.
