Along with the aforementioned RAP, you could consider giving the tank EMA as well (UT 187). Combined with Laminate armor, this effectively triples its DR vs shaped charges (for a limited number of uses). DR 240 is enough to shrug off the majority of Javelin hits. RAP adds another DR 200 vs shaped charges, raising effective DR to 260. This gives you a tank that's practically immune to HEAT attacks, but can be whittled down with successive hits.
