Walkthrough

1
Infantry vs. Heavy Tank: If you are infantry and encounter a Heavy Tank, hide immediately. If the tank is smoking, you can try throwing grenades at it, but this will reveal your position. Guns do not damage these tanks.
2
Anti-Tank vs. Heavy Tank: As an anti-tank class, wait for the Heavy Tank to expose its rear before attacking, unless it spots you first. A Bazooka will destroy a Heavy Tank in several hits from behind; attempt to sneak up on it rather than attacking from any angle.
3
Jeep vs. Heavy Tank: If you are in a jeep, drive away. You can ram a Heavy Tank from behind with a jeep, but it will not destroy it in one hit.
4
Tank vs. Heavy Tank: If you are in a tank, you can engage the Heavy Tank head-on or attempt to sneak up on its rear. Use your tank's missiles and aim for the rear.
5
Aircraft vs. Heavy Tank: If you are in a plane, use bombs to destroy Heavy Tanks; regular shots from a plane are ineffective.
6
Ship vs. Heavy Tank: Fire from ships will destroy Heavy Tanks.
7
Other Weapons: Heavy Tanks can also be destroyed by anti-aircraft fire (if aimed low enough), defguns, rocket jeeps, explosive packs, and landmines.
8
Kamikaze Attack: A kamikaze attack can destroy a Heavy Tank, but it will not be destroyed if it has full health.

Tips

The rear of a Heavy Tank is its weakest point.
Grenades do very little damage but can be used to slightly turn a tank. They are useful when an enemy tank is fighting a friendly tank, as they can distract it.
Heavy Tanks are very durable and can withstand significant damage.
Do not waste ammunition trying to damage Heavy Tanks with regular guns.
