Actually, the possibility of a tank being taken out by a single round or RPG is very realistic, including an Abrams. Phosphorous rounds are not commonly used because of their extreme expense, but stuff like that almost instantly burns through armor, nearly regardless of thickness or type, and turns the inside into a 4000 degree oven. It's been around since the 40's, but like I said, it's expensive, and so most the rounds a tank carries will be SABOT, with only a couple like this.
Some abrams carry tungsten instead of depleted uranium. I don't see the difference as they are both very dense materials. I love white phosphorous as much as the next guy, but everyone by now has developed countermeasures or at least resistances to it in their armor. At least thats what the challenger 2 and Merkerva tanks do.

Edit: The T-90 and M1A1 can be considered to be ~ equal.
the M1A2 SEP swapped 2nd gen DU mesh with 3rd gen DU. NBD
And M1A1 has greater depression of the barrel.
