Tank Tactics: How to get not hit by ATGMs?

How to get not engaged and/or hit by Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ground and air-based) within a tank, for this I interviewed a former Leopard 2 gunner. We discuss various aspects like movement, formations, spacing, engaging, smoke, etc. Cover design by vonKickass. »» GET BOOKS & VIDEOS «« » Stukabook - Doctrine of the German Dive-Bomber - http://stukabook.com » The Assault Platoon of the Grenadier-Company November 1944 (StG 44) - http://sturmzug.com » Army Regulation Medium Panzer Company 1941 - http://www.hdv470-7.com » Tank Assault - Combat Manual of the Soviet Tank Forces 1944 - http://stm44.com » IS-2 Stalin's Warhammer - http://www.is-2tank.com » StuG: Ausbildung, Einsatz und Führung der StuG Batterie - http://stug-hdv.de » Achtung Panzer?

I think one think that will play out quite a lot in the future of warfare is the economy. As far as I understand, we're not in that world of investment countries used to have back in the past. And when you get in numbers weapons like those twin charged guided missiles, they're still expensive but I think in the future they may start to get cheaper and cheaper you're going to get a problem perhaps with the current dimensions of tanks. It simply will cost quite less to destroy a tank by infantry and so on. So, tanks have two options to counter this, as far as I understand. Growing in dimension or getting smaller. Growing like getting another layer of defense in order to tackle a twin charge. Tanks were able in the past to counter shaped charge rockets like rpgs, they were able to add more layers of defenses and pay for these add-ons. My question is, would tanks nowadays be able to get yet another defensive layer on top on all means necessary? Economical included? Or perhaps should they try to do the opposite and diminish in size instead of growing? Stealth is a thing for aircraft and naval ships. In terms of armor, it kind of would have to be developed differently, aimed at curtailing those guided missiles.
