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.
I don't think so.

The RAP's DR200 v. HEAT is still divided by 10. That only takes 20 pts off of the first 63(10) attack. The remainder of that gets added to the 231 of the second attack to amke up to 273 (10) pts of damage.

You need an effective 2730 which even allowing for a 3x of EM+Laminate means you need DR 910 as you base before you add the RAP.
