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

(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.)

Thank you, Ulzgoroth. I don't know real-world warfare (or even fictional world warfare XP) all that well. As a layman, though, it didn't seem that odd for forces to be somehow mixed.

What makes me think a Limitation like "Only against tanks" is pretty severe, even in settings where tanks are a normal part of armies, you've got to worry about everything else: air support, artillery, and even just soldiers attacking you en masse so that you'll need something else in order to survive. Of course, I am also thinking of the original question: if you're capable of fighting a tank but have to worry some guy in the tank can pop out of the hatch and knock you out with one blow from a wrench (let alone any sort of firearm)... well... that seems to disqualify you from the job. Unless you're also a superspeedster with an amazing dodge, a teleporter (preferably with a teleportation-based dodge), a "super ninja" sneaking into enemy bases or behind enemy lines to quickly wreck tanks and then sneak away, etc.

Or I'm over- or under-thinking things again. XP I mean, a lot of this arose from you describing a specific character from another RPG, as opposed to proposing it as a general approach for GURPS. >.>
