Dear Member,
I would not consider it a last resort, but I would not go looking for combat against an MBT. And the answer to your last questions is, Yes when firing the new APDS-FS round. Remember the cannon on the Rooikat is not the normal 76mm found on tanks. It is based on a naval cannon which is far more powerful. That is one reason for the Rooikat's larger width and weight over other 8X8 wheeled AFV.
