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

Note that on real battlefields tanks rather like to have infantry close by as support. Largely because tanks have bad stealth and bad perception and can readily be ambushed by anti-tank weapons if they don't have somebody around to spot the threat for them. (And in a defensive arrangement with pillboxes the tank would definitely tend to position behind the infantry positions, so unless you're a speedster or bulletproof charging it isn't going to go well.)
