Anti-Vehicle	comment	Vehicles are difficult enemies for infantry units to fight with conventional equipment and tactics, thus the need for Anti Vehicle weapons and abilities. These include: Explosives, mainly missile or rocket launchers, land mines and IEDs, Satchel Charges, and Sticky Bombs. Caltrops and spike strips for vehicles with tires. EMP devices that either temporarily or permanently disable more advanced vehicles. Difficult-to-traverse environments and solid obstructions. Generally if it can't be easily destroyed, it can be slowed down or disabled, especially by terrain. For the sake of Competitive Balance and Tactical Rockâ€“Paperâ€“Scissors, many anti-vehicle-specific weapons (at least in video games) make extremely lousy anti-personnel weapons (when they can be used as anti-personnel weapons at all). Lengthy reload time, very little ammo, lots of impact damage but little (if any) splash damage, shots are slow so someone on foot could dodge them with ease, may need to lock on or the vehicle to be tagged in some other way, such as using a Puppet Gun, for the weapon to have its maximum effectiveness when fired ... This trope also includes examples of apparatuses that create a barrier to civilian vehicles. Sub-Trope of Weapon of X-Slaying. See also Anti-Air, Anti-Cavalry, Anti-Infantry, Anti-Structure and Anti-Armor.

Anti-Vehicle / int_13f21e09	comment	Company of Heroes: Many weapons and abilities are designed to get through tanks' heavier armour that is Immune to Bullets, or other vehicles that are in generally too stern for small amounts of basic infantry to stand much of a chance. In most cases, these options are useful only at that, though there are exceptions, like expensive heavy tanks standing a good chance against just about anything they meet.

Anti-Vehicle / int_56fa0ea4	comment	Civilization: The various spearmen classes specialize in taking out the horse units. In Civilization V, Modern-era civs can field the prosaically-named Anti-Tank unit, which is fairly weak but has a big bonus against tanks. They tend to be effective against that era's armor, but overshadowed by future eras'. The unit profile notes that man-portable anti-tank weapons aren't all that good against modern armor, and recommend investing in some Death from Above.

Anti-Vehicle / int_6a307d4	comment	Titanfall: Most small arms do little to no damage against Titans, so Pilots carry specialized Anti-Titan weapons. Against other Pilots, such weapons tend to be ineffective because they're slow to fire, inaccurate, and/or do unspectacular damage—the Archer rocket launcher won't even fire without a Titan to lock onto. By contrast, Titanfall 2 introduced "Grenadier" weapons that are meant for use against Pilots or Titans, but take up a Primary weapon slot.

However, Rotary ACs are also godly Anti-Infantry and Anti-Air, provided that they are spun up before the aircraft passes out of the engagement range; a Partisan support tank mounts four class-2 Rotary ACs as close range Anti-Air.

Anti-Vehicle / int_74c5b2f3	comment	Nintendo Wars has Mechs, Infantry armed with bazookas. They have one less move than regular Infantry, carry less rations (fuel), and only have three shots before they need to revert to their regular machine guns, but said bazookas do damage on par with a Tank. This makes them a cheap and effective answer for covering, that is keeping one of your better units in range of one to discourage an attack on it, as well as makes them effective for hiding in mountains to guard chokepoints.

These range from handheld rocket launchers like Bazooka, to buildable anti-tank guns capable of destroying even the heaviest of tanks. Alternatively, the Satchel Charge issued to the aforementioned classes can also be planted onto the surface of enemy vehicles, ensuring that they're destroyed once the charge goes off.

Anti-Vehicle / int_90e2f673	comment	BattleTech: A curious situation exists where vehicles can be armored as well as comparable BattleMechs but risk additional critical hits and motive system damage each time an attack capable of even causing a single point of damage connects. This makes "scattershot" weapons like short-range missiles, LB-X autocannons firing shotgun-style cluster munitions, and somewhat ironically most infantry attacks more effective threats than simple attempts to breach the armor through brute force since enough small hits can immobilize or with some luck possibly even altogether neutralize even the toughest tank fairly quickly.

Generally, upon building their first barracks or equivalent, a commander would have the option to train either basic riflemen (or equivalent) or an anti-armor soldier. Many of them used guided missile launchers, so they also served as Anti-Air, but not all — other anti-tank weapons have included grenades, railguns, and Frickin' Laser Beams.

Anti-Vehicle / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: Krak missiles or variants thereof are commonly used for this purpose by the Imperial Guard, Space Marines, Orks, and Eldar among others. For heavier vehicles, the lascannon is considered the gold standard, whereas the Power Fist is exceptionally deadly if you can get in range (easier said than done when the tank in question is capable of driving over you). Several units specialize in taking down enemy vehicles, such as Ork Tankbustas, who achieve their kills through heavy use of bombs and rocketry, and Eldar Fire Dragons, who instead utilize powerful plasma cutters to slice through vehicular armor. Attilan hunting lances can be fitted with melta tips, which produce focused beams of plasma designed to cut through the heavy armor of tanks and mechas. Interestingly, the Tau eschew this aspect of warfare altogether; their infantry squads carry no heavy weapons. All anti-tank warfare is conducted by either their own tanks or Broadside Battlesuits. Note that unlike some other examples, such weapons will obliterate a soldier they're fired at. However, dedicated anti-infantry weapons can kill several in a single salvo. "Ordnance" weapons like demolisher cannons are usually good against both.

Anti-Vehicle / int_e030b382	comment	In PlanetSide 2, Heavy Assault troopers can carry rocket launchers in many flavors, include Anti-Air variants. Rocket launchers can cripple Powered Armor and tanks, but take a long time to reload. The single-shot launchers can kill infantry in a single hit, leading to some players using "rocket primary", using the launcher in lieu of their light machine gun. The Engineer can use an anti-materiel rifle which can plink tanks to death and maul MAX suits but does almost nothing against infantry, and deploy a TOW missile turret which is anti-everything albeit with a restricted firing arc and slow refire time.
