My Option :
Quickly dive next to the tank and walk at the tanks side untill you spot cover.

Once, a tank whas taking over a flag of mine and I laid right next beside him.
I bet he whas thinking why the hell that flag didnt go down ^^.

The best thing do do is run at a tank with a C4 out and jump, not throw. This usually scares the hell outta the driver =P

Again, thanks for all your votes. It's interesting to see how people react to this stuff. I might do another one soon, about helicopters.

I've been playing Medic alot lately (usually SpecOps) so I've been going through the motions of C4'ing with my medic bag out.
Nothing funnier scaring the crap out of a tanker, getting him to hop out, and then you hop in and finish him off.
If only it worked more often than not.
haha i loved your technique! i ought to try it sumtime!

classic.

...It sucks that you can't jump on top of tanks like in BF1942 of BF:V.  The slightest touch from a moving veichle and you're dead.
that got fixed in the last patch.

Careful, it's still fairly easy to die on top of a tank, as in if you fall off you might die.

Unless I'm having a very good day or unless I'm playing AT and the tank is already damaged, I usually die.  I don't usually have good luck blasting armor with C4.  Although it seems like every time I'm in a tank, that's how I die.  I pretty much suck at AT.  I'll get one rocket off, maybe two, then I get spotted and killed.

Tanks don't work like that.  They're armored on top.  The part where the tank driver sits and the gunner sit are completely separate.  The grenade would, to be sure, all but liquify the gunner, but the driver and the interior would be just fine.

If I happen to have a flashbang I use it. If I'm left with my arse hanging in the breeze I'll try to hop on the tank long enuff for someone else to draw his attention so I can make a get away,lol. Usually just die a miserable death though....lol

Get as close as I can. I've chased tanks down streets and around corners while avoiding their fields of fire.

sometimes when i'm totally trapped, I just stand there thinking 'Ok your in a tank, i got a peashooter pistol, go ahead and kill me, i aint impresed'. Not sure if this nonchalance comes over, should be an animation so you can shrug your shoulders.
BTW back in the day, i tried lobbing grenades into tank turret hatches, and was really dissapointed it did nothing, now there is an idea for the next patch...

i believe earlier he said that would be awsome if they fixed it so they could do that. Learn to read

Doubt me all you want but I HAVE jumped on top of a tank and I HAVE thrown a grenade inside the gunner whole and it DID kill the guy inside (driver). I couldn't believe it when it happened. I was assault and had no way of hurting it so I jumped on top. The temptation of throwing a grenade in the hole was too much to bare so I tempted it.

I was pleasently surprised.

Try it yourself, just make sure you right click and do a tiny throw so it won't bounce.

Usually when it's me vs tank, I'm over 100 yds away. I prefer to take pock shots at the tip of the barrel, which is where the camera is located. Imagine rolling through and all of a sudden have a .50 cal hit the spot where the camera is, throwing those sparks and smoke.  ALWAYS can get the guy to start spinning around and firing aimlessly. My enjoyment.

The few occasions I get close to a tank, I take cover over the crest of a hill and throw nades until I can get the guy to come out, at which point a nicely placed claymore does the trick.

Blow the tank with C4 then jump on the wreckage and teabag it.  Then either jump off quickly of die from the secondary explosion.

So far I haven't seen anyone mention smoke grenades. Of course you only have these if your assault, but they're your best bet of surviving against armor if you're out in the open and are using the assault kit. Otherwise, run and hop like mad.

I voted Pull out SRAW and shoot it - but I should clarify that - I pull out SRAW, fire off one from the hip, then run like there's no tommorrow, until I'm dead, or, if I'm lucky, SRAW has reloaded and I can give it another go...
