You need different armours for different domains. One can't serve you in all cases. Let's go through a thread . All Russian.

BMP-2M with Berezhok Turret

30 mm autocannon + 2*2 Kornet M ATGM. Good for infantry fighting, well established anti armour capability & it is amphibious! Image
But still it lacks the adequate fire power to defeat new gen light and medium tanks and heavily armoured IFVs.
So BMP-3M is equipped with a 100 mm 2A70 gun, co-axial 30 mm 2A42 ,a 7.62 PKT MG , two PKT at bow side . The rifled gun fire AT-10 ATGM too, one can mount AT-15 ATGM Image
The rifled gun has adequate fire punch but has very low rate of fire power. So now BMP-3 us equipped with 57 mm gun, two different variants..

In first pic with Au-220M
In the second it is 2A91 ImageImage
