Tanks in Battlefield 6 can seem unstoppable when your squad isn’t working together or lacks the right anti-armor gear.
Equip yourself and adjust your approach, and those monster vehicles turn into problems you can solve.
Below is a step-by-step guide covering everything needed to take down enemy tanks, whether you’re on foot or behind the armor.
Which Class Is Best for Destroying Tanks?
The Engineer class is the most effective against tanks, equipped with rocket launchers, mines, and upgrades that increase rocket ammo or reload speed for heavy weapons.
But that doesn’t mean other classes are useless. A Recon can plant C4 and pressure flanks, while Assault (with mobility and spawn tools) can infiltrate behind armor.
Always coordinate roles so the Engineer delivers the damage while others distract enemies or set traps.
What Loadout Should You Use for Anti-Tank Combat?
You need an anti-armor loadout that nails the weak spots:

- Launcher: The RPG-7V2 (or its equivalent) is your default pick. It’s unguided, so you’ll need to be smart about positioning and timing.
- Mines: Anti-vehicle mines work wonders when hidden along predicted routes. They hit hard against predictable routes and demand movement.
- C4 / Demolition Charges: These are your opportunistic finishers. If the tank stops or slows, dash in and drop charges.
- Primary Weapon: A reliable midrange rifle or SMG helps you deal with infantry and allows you to reposition or fight while reloading launchers.
- Training Path / Perks: Unlock perks to carry extra rockets, faster reloads, or reduce enemy repair effectiveness. Even the smallest boosts can make an impact.
Where Should You Aim to Deal the Most Damage?
The front plate offers the most vigorous defense, while the rear and lower side are weak spots.
Two well-placed rockets to the rear will frequently destroy an MBT if its defenses are reduced.
If you can't hit the rear directly, fire at an angle so the rocket strikes the side or back corner. Observe the turret rotation and strike when the gunner is locked forward or distracted by teammates.
How Can You Trap Tanks and Control Their Movement?
Tanks usually move along predictable paths like roads, bridges, chokepoints, or open flanks, which gives you the advantage of setting up traps in advance.
Hide mines near corners, next to cover, or on usual routes so those spots practically act as instant traps.
Turn distractions into traps by guiding the tank toward explosive zones as your squad shifts positions.
Once a mine detonates or the tank slows down from the hit, follow up immediately with rockets or other explosives while it’s exposed. Make the tank fight by your rules, not theirs.
Is C4 Still an Effective Way to Kill Tanks?
C4 takes good timing to be effective and can destroy tanks when used right. Deploy it when a tank is stopped, being repaired, or changing position.
Use cover, throw over walls or barriers, and time a jump to extend the throw and avoid detection. Stack your charges and let three well-placed C4 sticks do the rest before the crew can react.
How Can Air Vehicles Help Eliminate Tanks?
If your squad has air support like attack helicopters or jets, coordinate with them because their guided bombs and missiles can destroy tank health quickly.
The ground team should pressure the tank so its driver doesn’t look for air threats, and the pilot or gunner should strike when the vehicle is distracted, in tight terrain, or already vulnerable.
Note that the recent update adjusted anti-vehicle damage to balance gameplay. Air engagements are now about precision over fire rate.
Can the Repair Tool Really Destroy Tanks?
Yes, you can kill a tank with your repair tool. However, this is a high-risk, low-reward scenario.

Only try this if you’re completely out of rockets and mines. The tank is distracted or already damaged. You can get behind or to a flank where the crew isn’t watching.
Stay locked on the hull, and if the driver doesn’t move, you can take it down, but you’ll need patience.
