Older tanks still in service (such as the M48, M60, Centurion, Chieftain, T54/T55, T62, T72, etc.) tend to used rolled homogeneous steel armour, while more modern tanks may be prone to using composite armour (such as Chobham armour), which may include mixtures of metals and ceramics.

In empire earth what is the difference between AP tanks and HE tanks?
As with most military games AP= Armour piercing and HE= High Explosive. AP is good at punching through most heavy armour (Tanks, APC's etc) while HE is more suited to lightly armoured vehicles (Jeeps, Hummers, Transport vehicles) & buildings. For dealing with infantry you would need HE Frag rounds, or HE phosphous rounds etc for a less concentrated blast radius.
