The US doesnt need to up gun its tanks The critical factor you are missing is the European air power is very limited while the US has unlimited air power In Europe, there is total combined force 300 plus gunships, The Apaches, Tigers and Mangusta between several countries The US Army and USMC combined for over 1000, A single F-15E can carry up 28 GBU-53s and strike package of 4 is 112 The GBU-53 can accurately target enemy targets to the point where by the time the enemy encounters US forces, most or all their heavy armor is damaged or destroyed Lastly, the US is adopted the SPIKE NLOS on the JLTV which destroy a tank from 20 miles active protection system (APS) can only stop weapons of certain mass FGM-148 weighs 50bs while SPIKE NLOS weighs 150lbs plus and 204lbs Also remember that the US coined tank plinking where they dropping 500lbs bombs on Iraqi tanks Air power forces on enemy tanks and leaves infantry fighting vehicles to Abrams both may have APS but the Abrams heavy armor can withstand a few hits but AFV/IFV armor is no match 120mm HEAT round
