realistic and almost realistic answers pls
First, elevation. The soldier needs to be higher than the main gun or coaxial MG can reach. An AA MG is less of a problem, since on most tanks a creman has to expose himself to use it, which is what a sniper wants.

Short of killing the crew, the only way he could possibly disable a tank with a rifle it to break a track, which would require a very heavy rifle, at least .50-cal. and probably with AP ammo.
