In Gurps, how powerful do you need to fight a tank?

If you're willing to dodge the main gun and go after weak points, it's a lot easier -- you want damage in the hundreds, which is D-scale.

I-scale characters might be able to kill a tank, but they'll need to be creative.

Not a big fan of "different scales"..."Heroes Forever" tried something similar, and it just felt off. Kind of like Batman and Super-Man being able to stand in the same room.

Not too worried about "taking the hit" 1/1000 damage reduction with a -10% modifier is "only" 405 points, and not sure how easy a tank cannon can track a man sized target
