Are tanks too hard to kill?
I feel like killing tanks are much harder in BF6 that it was in any of the previous games. When I hit a tank with 3 out of my 3 anti-tank rockets, it still have 50% HF and can just heal back up if th...

Tanks are team assets. It shouldn't be easy for a single player to take out a tank and it should be even harder when supported by engineers. If I use the default rocket launcher and hit a tank 3 times, it's either dead or near dead, unless they have an engineer repairing it. I'm not 100% sure how it works, but I do believe that it does matter where you hit the tank. Shooting it from the front of going to do less damage than shooting it from the rear.
There are plenty of people playing engineer and as soon as they see a tank burning, they are like sharks when they see blood, they'll rush in to kill it. So sticking to your teammates is certainly the way to go.
It's true that it matters where the tank gets hit in terms of damage (more dmg taken from the back and sides) - but I don't know if this is relevant when you use the javelin type anti-tank rocket launcher (can't remember it's exact name rn), because it is guided and always hits from above
I agree that tanks are a team asset and shouldn't be easy for a single engineer to kill. But I also don't think that would be the case, if it took less than 6 javelin hits to kill one. It's not easy for an engineer to fire at a tank 3 times, without being shot by said tank himself. And I don't think a tank should be able to completely disregard positioning/cover because they can just tank every one of an engineer's javelin missiles, and still be healthy afterwards.It's certainly a balance, not to have tanks be too easy or too hard to kill. In my personal experience from playing the game for 2 days now though, tanks seem to be wreaking havoc. I don't know if any of the later anti-tank missile launchers you unlock at later tanks do more damage though.
I personally didn't get the impression that tanks were too strong in this game (yet). At least, I've not seen too many extremely good tank players yet, but the people that ended up making clear mistakes, got deleted within seconds. So it's certainly not the case that a tank is able to disregard positioning/cover. Especially because that would make the engineers extremely vulnerable.
