Things brings to mind another idea, which is to make this electrical armour
work against the tank by have some high-melting point material at the front of
the warhead, followed by your usual devastating device at the end. The
high-melting point material bridges the plates and causes current to flow but
doesn't want to melt quite as easily as the armor so, similar to plasma, the
net effect is a hole through which the second part slides right through. I
suppose they must have it rigged such that, if any of the armor melts, it would
be the outer (thinner?) plate. In this case, you still get a full impact with
a single layer of armor.
