  1. Two additional points, if I can. 1. A gun is more flexible. As soon as I pull the trigger I can traverse onto a new target as the round is "fire and forget" whereas most ATGMs require a beam rider or optical tracking (i.e. keep the gun pointing at the first tgt until you hit/miss). With the gun, you can shoot at targets at 12 O'clock, then 9 O'clock then 3 O'clock (esp. if the tank has CITV or similar Hunter/Killer equipment), while the missile is still looking at the 12 O'clock target. 2. The gun can fire many different natures (types) of ammunition (anti armour [Kinetic or Chemical], smoke, HE, Canister or similar anti personnel rounds, ...). Having only an ATGM forces you to shoot at say a truck with an ATGM rather than say HE.

  2.  @CalinCETERAS  I was using a truck tgt as an example. Ideally you would use coax on transport. But there is no "smoke" ATGM, nor a Cannister ATGM, etc. This is one reason why the "ATGM only" (note only) option wasn't adopted.
