I'm not sure this is true; against modern (Chobham) tank armour as used
by NATO tanks, HEAT rounds of the types used in satchel charges and
man-portable weapons are pretty much useless - you need such a large
calibre it is impractical to carry. This is why tanks now depend so much
on AP(FS)DS rounds. Unless someone has figured out a way to put niftier
warheads in these rockets, a tank is still very hard for a grunt to
kill. Mind you, if infantry are still fielded against tanks (by proper
armies) in the deep future, they must be able to kill the somehow ...
