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).

I like that idea. I'll keep that in back of my head. I was an E-5 in an Infantry battalion and we went up against 1-34 Armor at Hoensfelds. The hardest part about fighting them was the thermals are so good that you've got to get a real good hiding spot and you got to wait until they are past you. Quite scary knowing that a screw up and you're flat.
