A trick we used as infantrymen was, if a decent depth of trees available, to sucker the DATs into the trees, where they had to move slower and usually couldn't turn their turrets far because their main guns got in the way. (It's amazing how often DATs fell for that one; my platoon sergeant at Ft Stewart told me it was an old trick when he came in the Army.) After that, you could tackle then with LAWs, Dragons, thrown grenades, or you could shoot out vision blocks. If you were mech and had Bradleys, that was a plus (though they could have the same problems with their autocannons).
