Sure. That's about ST 200 (BL 8,000 lb or 4 tons, enough for a 64 ton tank)

Which should be plenty, that's a BL of a hair over 10 tons. It's not enough to punch through frontal armor, but it's sufficient to flip the tank, pull the turret off, and so on.

Tanks are not generally very good anti-super weapons, because supers tend to have very high mobility. I would expect army tactics against supers to just use small arms against supers that aren't immune (if you have a bunch of guys shooting ARs at you, even super-dodgy characters are gonna get hit), missiles against the more durable targets.
