Depends on where it hit.  A tank fighting position is
a hole dug in the ground, not dirt piled up on top. 
So most shots would either fly over the tank or slam
into the ground and have a significant amount of dirt
to travel through.  I've got to go to work in a couple
hours, but tomorrow I'll post the data from the
Survivability manual.
