Sorry Bob, you had already replied while I was writing my reply, so I didn’t see it before posting.

Of course you don’t drive around in a urban environment without infantry support, that is asking for trouble.

But the question still remains, how can you knock out a buttoned up MBT like the Merkava, or which MBT you would choose by throwing rocks?

Any infantry can destroy tanks by close assaulting them.

Those without A/T weapons may well run away in tank panic or become severely suppressed if they fail.

"Rocks" are not rocks - they are a class 1 infantry weapon with range 1 (or 2?). The game has no "rock" or "spear" or "bow" weapon classes. So they ripped open a hatch and sprayed the insides of the tank crew compartment with a class 1 HE weapon.

Before WW2, some Abyssinian tribesmen dealt with an Italian tankette by swarming it and then manually flipping it onto its back. Then they lit a fire under it.

Cheers
Andy
