Here is the Abrams knocked out by an RPG. This story was written before the source of the attack was confirmed. I was wrong about the tank continuing to fight though.

The point is none of these tanks are invulnerable. Mobility kills and mission kills are still quite possible even if the catastrophic kill is incredibly difficult.

Incidentally, in the simulation, did you attempt to model the original scenario of a platoon of 4 vs a platoon of 4?
Also, what model of tank scored the most kills?
I agree the close range ambush Abrams vs Challengers would go bad for the Challengers, but the Challenger's greatest strength is it's ability to pick off targets at extreme range.
Have you run the simulation several times to build up an average? One or two lucky tactical situations (ie the ambush of the Challengers) could skew the results.
