To my mind, to perform its role, a tank (or armoured vehicle) would have the necessary armour to protect, and reply/ and deliver fire protected.

On MBT's the armour seems thickest on the front.

The weapons of potential adversarys of the time, along with other considerations, would need to be countered by the MBT's armour, and so from this, one can predict to a degree the armoured protection of the tanks of an era.

Also, if the enemy had vehicles protected from ones own weapons, then this may mean one can predict the power of the weapons needed to counter the vehicles in question, and not just.

That's what I suspect.

For instance, if a Leopard was produced with frontal protection of say, 40+, then not just RPG rounds of the era would be protected against, but possibly the 100 and 115mm guns of the time...
