Insert Grenade Here	comment	This is where the La Résistance fighters are facing an enemy tank on the battlefield and they have either used up all their anti-tank weapons or they never had any to begin with. You run up to the tank (hopefully nobody sees you), jump on, kill the guy looking out of the hatch or open the hatch (it's never locked — just in case the crew does need to get out fast) and then toss down a few grenades before jumping clear of the resulting explosion. Often that last part of the plan doesn't work, making it a Heroic Sacrifice. Given that tank armor is usually tougher than grenade explosions, the effect is usually to reduce the crew inside to the consistency of chunky salsa. Should be noted that this was more or less the original use of the Molotov Cocktail. In that case, though, you threw them onto the back deck in the hope that the burning gasoline would enter the engine compartment through the air intakes. Fact of the matter is that second-generation (produced in the 1970-80s) "main battle tanks" can't be damaged from the outside by anything other than dedicated anti-tank weaponry, and earlier medium- and heavy-tanks could only be disabled or damaged by improvised weapons. Less heavily-armored vehicles such as light tanks and armored transports are, however, still vulnerable. For blowing up organic enemies in a similar fashion, see Feed It a Bomb.

The first being the far more intelligent "with other tanks", with the second being to find an anti-tank rocket launcher like a Panzerfaust or Bazooka. Semi-subverted in Earned in Blood. You can no longer run up to the tank and 'nade it right off the bat, as apparently the Germans decided to start locking their hatches shut. But if you have a Panzerfaust ready and hit it in the rear, the commander's hatch will open, allowing a grenade to be dropped in. Averted in Hell's Highway, where German tanks can only be destroyed by anti-tank weapons, allied tanks, or planting a Satchel Charge on the rear of the tank.

However given that these are nine meters off the ground, the problem lies in knocking the bipedal walker off its feet first: their plan to do so takes up a major part of the plot. In "The Siege", a Scout Trooper gets on top of a troop transport stolen by our heroes and prepares to drop a grenade inside, but fails to see the gun turret turning towards him before he's blasted. In "The Believer", "pirates"note The episode claims they're pirates but they act more like La Résistance: they're seemingly more interested in hurting the Imperial Remnant than stealing cargo. raiding an Imperial supply line attack Juggernauts transporting explosive materials by landing on them and planting charges on the stuff that goes boom.

She manages to jump up on top of it, but fails to open the hatch despite pulling so hard that she rips one of her own arms off (and given that Motoko is a full-conversion Cyborg with more strength than the average human can muster, this is really not good). The tank then grabs her and is about to crush her skull when Batou shows up with actual anti-tank ordnance to save the day at the last second.

Insert Grenade Here / int_73a9c933	comment	Used in the mid-season finale of The Walking Dead as Daryl casually rolls a grenade down the barrel of a tank to blow it up. The driver just manages to get out in time too, not that it increases his life-span much... Truth in Television in that unless his head is sticking up out of the hatch, the driver of an M-60 tank cannot see the ground for at least fifteen feet in front of his tank; Daryl's simply walking up around the corner and in front of the tank without drawing any notice was entirely possible. Also, given the timing of the tank's last shot, it's very likely that he caught the tank with the breech open for the next shell to be loaded, meaning that the grenade explosion actually would reach the tank's interior.

It does make it hard to pick up a copilot though. The exception is if they toss concussion grenades, which stick to tanks and do more damage, or if you're playing the sequel, where the normal grenades are given the ability to stick, but are still individually weaker than a rocket.

A conventional or battle armor infantry unit in the same hex as an enemy 'Mech is basically safe from its weapons for the moment (although they still have to worry about its feet, as well as anything its buddies may send their way) and can then try to, rather than fire their own weapons at it normally, either wreck its moving leg joints with shaped charges or actually climb on top of it in an even more dangerous "swarm attack" that lets them keep applying their handheld weapons right up close and personal over successive turns as long as they can manage to hang on.

Insert Grenade Here / int_a796bde8	comment	Metal Gear Solid: Snake's first battle against Vulcan Raven in the first game was man against tank, so this trope was used to beat it, but without the jumping on the tank part. (One could soften the tank up first by careful Claymore and C4 placement, but that's not nearly as badass). If you call your support team (other than Campbell that is), they will comment on how ridiculous that was. When you revisit the site in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, if you call Otacon at this point, he'll mention that he once asked an active-duty Army officer once about how one goes about fighting a tank on foot, and was told, "Don't." He then goes on to gush about how awesome Snake was for managing it.

Instead of how most Star Wars games have you do the tie-up-the-AT-AT-with-a-towcable thing, it's set up as a ground mission after Luke gets shot down. You have to kill the AT-ATs by doing Luke's little trick in the movie.

It starts off depicting Luke grappling up to the AT-AT, cutting a hole in it, and tossing a grenade in... then cut to inside the AT-AT, where the grenade lands in the bathroom while one of the pilots is busy on the can. He wonders aloud "what in the fuck is—" before it explodes and takes out the entire AT-AT.

Insert Grenade Here / int_b5f08143	comment	In Saving Private Ryan: The Airborne soldiers trying to hold a bridge don't have much in the way of anti-tank weapons, but are faced with an armored convoy. To fight them, they come up with a Sticky Bomb: pitch-covered socks filled with explosives, designed to be slung onto tank treads from close range to disable them and block the road. Suffice to say, the results of the sticky bombs are... mixed. (This was Truth in Television, including the fairly "mixed" results.) They also do the traditional 'climb on top and bung a grenade down the hatch' version once the sticky bombs have disabled the tank - it works perfectly, apart from the fact that there's an anti-aircraft gun pointed at the tank, which quickly shreds the soldiers who took it out.

Any close-combat hits on a vehicle (with the exception of walkers) automatically succeed, and are always resolved as being against the vehicle's rear armor to reflect infantry scrambling around it to find its weak points. While a standard close-combat attack by a typical infantryman will rarely do any damage to even a light vehicle, many can be issued anti-armor grenades specifically for this purpose, such as krak grenades, melta-bombs, and EMP grenades.

Since the group is made of Pyramid players, they do the lobbing bit very well. It's dealing with the Centurions already present that they suck at. It also highlights that the poor guys are really clueless in real tactics and, as Anders later admits, are just getting their ideas from movies. So, literally Hollywood err... Picon Tactics.

Insert Grenade Here / int_df64a221	comment	In Mercenaries, you can hijack tanks this way. You'd assume the frag grenade would probably ruin in the inside... or at least make it very, very messy. Not to mention you can take the driver's sidearm and grenade on their chest multiple times, fail to put the grenade down the hatch, and have to do same thing all over again. Part of the animation involves, at least some of the time, headbutting a guy wearing a helmet with your mohawked, bare-headed idiot. You also protect yourself from the blast through the open hatch by putting a finger in one ear. Mercenaries runs on action film rules.
