I would think it might at least break up a plasma jet from a HEAT round.
Speaking from experience, not much.

A Brad was knocked out by a RPG back when I was over, and the round pretty much ignored the duffels as it blew past them and into the rear of the track.

Unoccupied, thankfully, but it did mission kill the Brad.
