Uh-huh.  Sure.	If the tank is stationary with the THEL pointed in the
right direction, and one single round with no counter-measures or
stealthing (both of which will become as common as dirt if this thing
starts impacting the battlefield in a real way) under firing-range
conditions.  

Like I said, I'll believe a shyster or a used car salesman before I
believe a defense contractor's advertisements for a probability of kill.
