Tip #1: Use 6* PVG90. If you don’t have it, get it.
Tip #2: Shoot off their tick pods and weapons first!
After that, just fire away at where ever the blue sparks fly! 
Is a rocket launcher good at disabling weapons ?
Ok, thank you.
What weapons would you recommend against them ?
No. It’s not that useful against tanks, unless used with EMP grenades IMO - see below.
5 star rifle (any) w. 6x or 8x scope for removing weapons and tick pods.
M-49 Grenade launcher w. EMP grenades to “stun” him for some extra time to shoot off weapons.
5 or 6 star AG-4, Kpist or KVM-59 to blast away.
Or if you want to go into “cheat” mode: Experimental PVG. But seriously, it’s not even fun!
i think the best way to kill tanks is to have the right weapons with the right skill set for instance if you were gonna dance with multiple tanks you prob want vanguard stamina health gun waver etc
What would you say is it useful against ?
apoco hunters or FNIX hunters i would say deals with them easy instead of doing some damage to tanks and harvs
HEDP rounds - best used against groups of machines (e.g runner/hunter packs) due to large area of effect it has.
It does get the job done, eventually, when fired at harv/tank but it being HEDP (high explosive) and not HEAT (armor piercing), it struggles with armor penetration and you’ll need quite a lot HEDP rounds.
My main tactic when dealing with harv/tank. Since as long as it can’t see you directly, it won’t fire at you.
With that tactic, it doesn’t matter which weapon i use. E.g i’ve even used only Klaucke to take down FNIX harvs/tanks when i need to spend the 700+ 9mm pistol ammo, which i don’t want to just drop to the ground.
I’d say that the Granatgevär m/49 is very useful against tanks, if you get close to them.
- Get close
- Use EMP round in the m/49
- While the tank is down (just a couple of seconds) shoot the rocket pod of
- Repeat with the railgun OR back of and snipe the railgun
- Just blast away with what ever weapon you are carrying while staying away from it’s close range attacks (gas and concussion)
- Profit

If you don’t have a railgun, remember that just like IRL, the m/49 works great with regular HEDP rounds as long as you hit the target in a weak section, like from behind, or the sides. Or even from above. Even with a dilapidated one star Granatgevär it’ll still inflict heavy damage.

Sorry, I meant that you should demolish the rail gun on the tank 
Either way works

Exactly! I cycle through all my ammo. Hoard the ammo you don’t normally use, then use it when you run out of the ammo that you DO normally use. Almost ever weapon has it’s own usefulness.

place six flares around tanks at night, it greatly confuses them, Also While in battle sticky flares on a tank short it out and cause other machines to kill them quicker.
Merged topics.

Not everyone has one, but using the experimental pistol does the same job and you get 2 or 3 more seconds because loading is faster.
Solo is always a challenge but to feel some sort of catharsis I recommend grabbing a couple of buddies and set up a firing squad with PVGs.
Everyone aim for the rocket pod. Count to 3 and everyone fire.
Same for the machine gun pod (with a little more disorder now it is firing back.
Finally scatter as it charges at you and unload with automatic weapons at any exposed parts.
I know this relies on teamwork and not everyone has the option all the time but when you have had your ass kicked enough times it is strangely satisfying to make an apocalypse tank melt like this.
Not everyone has one what? 
I have 0 (Zero) experimentals so I never suggested using one
But maybe your reply wasn’t meant for me when I think about it
Don’t engage on open ground. Use corners, take our their joints. i’ve taken many APOC tanks down with a shotgun. I’ve seen alot of people try to spam their hard points and get mad when they can’t kill it.
