Grenades thrown in to the hatch do the job.

Grenades thrown down the gun barrel are even more fun.

It's a good tactic, but you'd need either a really desperate player willing to sacrifice a lot of infantry to get close, or a vehicle to carry the person up to the tank in safety.

You could use a trained dog like Russian troops in WW2 to get the explosives under the tanks.

Yeah, but that's cruel and inhumane even by BrikWars standards. Unless it was a Chihuahua being walked by some old lady.

Not if you consider what made the Soviets stop using the dogs: they went for their own tanks just as much as for the german ones'.

Stats for Bomb-carrying dog:

Move 6"
Armor 1D6
Damage 3D10 exp

The bomb-carrying dog moves like a normal unit until its explosive warhead is armed and it is told to attack a target. After being ordered to attack, the bomb dog moves by rolling a scatter die. The direction the arrow points in shows the direction that the dog will move, and the number on the die is added to his regular movement. When the dog finishes its first sprint move, it explodes.

it's funny, because the way the dogs were trained was by placing steaks underneath tanks and having the dogs run under them for the steaks. Eventually, they believed all tanks were steak-carrying boxes of meat.

The bomb-carrying dog will roll a 1d6 each turn. On a 6, it will attack enemy troops. If it is not a 6, then the dog, will turn back to the same team, full of joy, ready to play with his trainer.

why dogs? midget horses are so much faster!

An alternate way is to attach a stupidly overpowered weapon to a minifig then give it such a high use it's only any good against tanks anyway.

We tried cults but the little blighters kept blowing up their handlers and escaping.

Exploding Coral Sponge was a wash out too. (Nuk, Nuk, Nuk).

Depends on the tank and its armour really. To fight my tanks one typically needs MKII rockets at least, or size 2-3 weapons. This typically won't destroy one of my tanks outright with just one shot, but can usually yield good results.
