If you somehow managed to make it on top of a tank with a thermal lance (and none of its tank or infantry buddies were around to fuck you up) what could you do to hurt the tank the most? Let also say you had a weapon to make the tank crew opening the hatch to shoot you an unattractive option.

>to hurt the tank the most?

optics

This or barrel

Wildly shake lance at the heavens, damning all of reality for birthing you. Take a bloated, mutant shit right on top of hatch. Die laughing and naked.

>laying a log in veiw of optics

Then use the lance from atop the engine if possible and go for a mobility kill.

I think regardless of what you decide to do in the end, you'll need to go for optics anyway or the CROWS will paste you before you get anything done.

Go right through the top into the breech, then each crew compartment. Those rods are made for cutting ships apart, a tank is trivial.
DO NOT hit the ammo rack, you'll only kill yourself.

Better not be a t72 or a t90 then

I was thinking Abrams since the ammo rack is isolated since American cares about crew safety. Something there's not even a word for in Russia.

All you would end up doing to an Abrams is burning yourself

Tanks actually have much thicker armor than ships, and in modern tanks some of it will be depleted uranium.

top armour of an abrams is only like 50mm or something. A lance would cut straight through that fucker. Poke it into the optics first.

beat me to it. Optics and thermals

Destroy the intake plenum and precleaner assembly this will take the tank out of action.

>not wanting to arrive in Valhalla surfing on top of a burning tank turret

You realize those rods cut steel that's feet thick right? That's literally what they're for. Tank armor would be trivial against them.

t. Someone who's actually been trained on and used exothermic rods.

Wont that burn the shit out of you if you're close?

What are these made of? Some thermite glued to guiding rod?

Iitc magnesium rods with a rod of copper and compressed air

It is an air intake most of the heat and debris would be pulled into the turbines.

You have circled the bustle rack. Why?

Burn the guys gear. The loss of his issue of jugs and can of Chef boyardee will Mission kill em

You monster.

Do NOT fuck with a tanker's food or porn

War is a dirty business

Yeah, tank armor isn’t gonna stop a lance.

couldn’t you have a drone that lands on the turret and just ignites a batch of thermite?

That will leave a mark but you need lots of Oxy to keep the heat high enough.
