2) Whats the best way to use infantry AGAINST a tank?

this is how this works at the games ive played.

1. you have a walker with the tank wearing a vest. also a ref accompanies a tank. you will have a bunch of players walk, mostly in wedge formation with the tank. their purpose is to elimanate anti tank personel. they will ussually send in a tank to post up in the vacinity of a vital mission area, or to flush dug in opfor from a traffic area allowing infantry to advance.

2. hahahaha. not much you can do here but duck. tanks are allowed to run their markers at full auto. they are mostly equipped with double trouble a5's. the best situation to do here is sacrafice a few troops to get the tankers attention while anti tank personal can get close enough to lob a satchel charge or shoot a law.

youll see what its like to get pinned by a tank in due time my friend. this is when you hope at least somebody on the field cares enough about you to come bail you out.

The best way is to use the tank to PLOW the way & have the ground pounders to keep the LAWS & Demos away form the tank. Us them to move out after the tank clears the area. You have to have infantry to use a tank to its fullest.

I've always felt the best use of the Tank is to simply RUN OVER the opposition, and have the infantry mow down the ones that dodge out of the way.... HE HE HE HE!

Like in the movie PATTON, when Rommel's Panzers are moving up into the ambush Patton has set up in the desert, there's a shot where a German Infantryman stops in front of a moving Panzer, to kneal and shoot at someone, and the Tank just runs him over. OOPS Would you call that "Friendly Fire" or "Friendly Tread Lubrication"
