Have you ever stared at an armored beast rolling ominously towards you on the battlefield in Foxhole, sweat trickling down your forehead, wondering how on earth you're going to stop it? Well, fear not. By the end of this guide, you’ll be ready to face those metal monstrosities head-on with confidence.
Getting to Know Your Tools: Types of Anti-Tank Weapons
First thing’s first: knowing your weapons is not just a convenience—it's a necessity. There’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of seeing a well-aimed shot immobilizing a tank, and understanding which tool of destruction suits your situation best is pivotal.
-
Rocket Launchers are your best friends when you need quick and mobile anti-tank capabilities. They pack a punch, are relatively easy to use, and don’t require a team to operate. Remember that time I bravely (or foolishly) ran up to a steamrolling Warden tank with just a launcher? Let’s just say it made quite the impression—literally.

Anti-Tank Rifles (ATRs) might seem like they’re more about finesse than brute force, but don't underestimate them. They're perfect for picking off targets from a distance without letting them know you've crashed their armor party. To further enhance your strategic edge, consider using the inventory system efficiently.
-
Field and Stationary Anti-Tank Guns are the heavy hitters, often needing a team to operate but delivering devastating results. If you have the manpower, these bad boys can stop even the toughest tanks in their tracks. Once, my squad and I set up an ambush with a stationary gun—best decision ever. Tanks drove right into our trap, and we took them out like ducks in a row at the carnival.
-
Sticky Bombs are for those daredevils among us who believe in the “more risk, more reward” philosophy. It’s like playing the high-stakes game of tag where you're “it” and your opponent is clueless. Stick it right, and you’ll feel like a hero.
Hit ‘Em Where It Hurts: Effective Targeting and Firing
Targeting an armored vehicle is part art, part science. The secret sauce? Knowing your target’s weak spots.
-
Aim for the rear or sides. Front armor on tanks is thick and tough—like trying to punch through a brick wall. Sneaking around for a side or rear shot, on the other hand, can turn the tide in your favor. If you're looking to coordinate with the tank battalion, learn how to drive and operate tanks effectively.
-
Strategize your shots. If you’re using an ATR or a rocket launcher, aim for the tracks to immobilize the tank. An immobile tank is a sitting duck, just waiting for you to finish the job.
-
Patience is a virtue. Sometimes, the best shot is the one you wait for. Observe the tank’s movements, wait for it to expose its vulnerable spots, and when it does—bam! Light it up. For more on planning your strategy, explore how to efficiently use the War Room.
Playing it Smart: Positioning and Defense
You know what they say about real estate: location, location, location. The same holds true when setting up to take down a tank.
-
Cover is king. Always use the terrain to your advantage. Hide behind buildings, trees, or sandbags. It’s like playing hide and seek, where peeking at the right moment could save your life. Consider learning how to use terrain for defensive advantage.
-
Height is might. If possible, seek higher ground. Shooting down from an elevated position gives you a better angle on those weak spots and makes it harder for the tank to retaliate.
-
Keep Movin’. A static target is an easy target. Fire off a few shots, then relocate to keep the tank guessing. There's nothing like watching a tank whirl around in confusion trying to find you.
-
Defensive setups around key positions can turn the tide of battle. Setting up anti-tank guns near choke points or areas crucial to the enemy's advance can be a game-changer. Remember to layer your defenses—it’s like creating an armored onion for the enemy to peel.
Wrapping It All Up
Facing enemy armor in Foxhole can seem daunting at first, but with the right knowledge and practice, you’ll become the scourge of tanks in no time. Whether you’re donning the role of a lone wolf with a rocket launcher or coordinating a squad to operate a big gun, each approach has its charm and thrill. Just imagine the satisfaction of watching a seemingly invincible tank grind to a halt under your well-aimed assault.
Remember, practice makes perfect. Dive into a few practice matches, experiment with different weapons, and work on your positioning. Nothing beats real experience. For more on setting up effective strategies, you might also want to check out how to set up traps for enemy vehicles.
So, the next time you see one of those armored beasts heading your way, don’t hesitate. Grab your weapon of choice and show them you mean business. Trust me, there’s no sweeter victory than knowing you stopped a tank dead in its tracks. Go forth and conquer, my fellow anti-tank warriors, and may your shots fly true.
