First, I spot it. Then..  I hike my skirt up, scream, and run like the scared girl I am.

if i'm assault, i'll happily fire my m203 at it... 4 shots, and the tank is at, at least 50% health....

so i wouldn't call it futile.... every little thing counts... get 2 good shots on him, and an apc can take him out..

Run madly at the tank and hope that you can reach it before you get killed.

then hope that the driver of the tank thinks that you are a spec ops. he then might jump out of the tank thinking that you have just planted some C4 and are about to blow the hell out of him. if he jumps out then you quickly jump in the tank and kick his ass!!

Careful, it's still fairly easy to die on top of a tank, as in if you fall off you might die.
I actually saw a MEC engineer on Karkand prone on top of the tank, right above the engine repairing away as the tank was moving around. Needless to say, an easy kill for me.

Since I know I am hopeless against foot soldiers, and even worst when faced with a tank (and when I am medic), I took out my shock paddles one time in Sharqi and try to fry it.. But they dont have enough juice in them

Might as well have a good laugh before I get killed..

If I see the tank before he sees me, I try to sit in a corner prone and still and hope he continues to not see me. Works 85% of the time.

If he sees me and I'm aware of this I bunny hop/dolphin dive around in circles/slightly towards cover like an idiot and they rarely ever hit me (unless I'm near any walls, then their main gun takes me down.)

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.
Yep, thats what I do when faced with a tank or apc and as a bonus, they think there is an enemy tank there because of the smoke.

Hmm seems that Run Like Hell and Respawn as Spec Opps are tied. Heh and 14 of you would pull out your knifes.

usually i just lay there hoping the tank didnt see me but he probably did....  I just stare at him and it usually ends with me becoming a pankake or him leaving a crater where i used to be:(

how about shouting "cease firing. it is the red name bug in action!!" ?

then ...... RUN! toward it or away...depending on which choice is better.

get so close that the tank operator cannot see you.  If you get killed by a friendly taking out the tank, punish the fuck out of him . . . well not realy on the punish part, I forgive most TK's.   I just make it hard for them to see me, so they have to stop, making them an open target to mines, C4, rockets.  Call out the tank for an aircraft to take out.
if I die, respawn as AT.

My option would be to blow it up with my tank...

If I'm a medic, run at it with madpack and hope he panics (I'm dead anyway)

If I'm an AT, shoot, run around, call for backup, shoot, run out of sprint, get run over.

as i am usually in the tank i have seen some hilarious things like many of the above mentioned.having someone ontop of my tank is piss funny they have no chance.i speed up to full speed and hit a hard object & they either die straight away or get thrown off right into gun range.the medic bag got me once i thought it was c4 and jumped out and the medic jumped in too bad for him i was a spec ops.as i usually play as an engineer when confronted with a tank on foot i use the mines 1 in front and 1 behind while running in circles.seems to work a fair bit as i have a few at mine kills and i dont lay the mines and hope some1 will pass by.

Sometimes if you run over with your knife they think you are putting c4 on the tank, they hop out and you can steal the tank.  It only works about 10% of the time but if there isn't anything else you can do, you might as well.
