ATGMs has no armor. ATGMs has no chance to survive under creeping barrageNowadays tanks are very vulnerable to ATGMs anyway so there really is no difference as far as capability goes between tanks, as long as it is available, modern and of good quality then any tank is good enough.
Abrams used by mid east were quite weak, their armour get's penetrated by the oldest of Soviet era ATGMs as if it is made out of paper. The export variant of the Abrams is far inferior to the one used by the Americans, and you can be sure if Pakistan would buy an Abrams then the US would be selling the heavily downgraded export variant.
The Leopard 2 was getting penetrated all the time by ATGMs in Syria, 8-10 were destroed within days of being deployed.
The T-72 is like an iron coffin, not suitable for war and should only exist in museums.
the T-90 (don't know which variant) in Syria was a mixed bag, sometimes it is an invincible tank capable of withstanding multiple ATGM hits without getting penetrated, other times it would get penned especially if it's shoot in the side or rear. I suppose this has to do with how well trained is the crew.
In the end the VT-4 is the best option for Pakistan, because China shares a border with them so if war breaks out between Pakistan and India, China would be able to replinish Pakistan as soon as possible with spare parts and in addition to perhaps more tanks. The US and Russia cannot be trusted on that because in case of a war both of them may favor India over Pakistan.
