Colonel,
"This older generation, ie me, approach anti-tank operations with a FFE barrage from a battery of 155mm howitzers. "
That is a fact, sir. I'm disappointed that this evolving ATGM/tank debate has so far (until you) ignored these weapons within a cluster of other systems on the battlefield-especially when employed properly.
Scouts and other ISR assets identify likely or known ATGM sites. Those are targeted for destruction/suppression/obscuration based upon available munitions, delivery systems and scheme of manuever.
Mechanized infantry and other armor operate from overwatch while discrete elements bound forward. SEAD and other assets reduce or eliminate the AAA/SAM coverage of the defender.
The big green machine rolls inexoribly towards its intended objective as a symphonic victory march plays in the background and the screen credits scroll by.
Simple stuff, really, for the practiced professional.
