Tanks are especially vulnerable in built-up areas where people can expect to get into fights. Tanks are vulnerable in rough terrain, where a single man with a rocket-propelled grenade can take out a tank just by hiding, waiting for it to pass, and shooting it in the grill.
Les chars d'assaut sont également vulnérables en terrain accidenté, où un seul homme muni d'un lance-roquettes peut le détruire, s'il a atteint un point vulnérable.
