I'd really like to know where you people get the idea that a tank shouldn't be able to be destroyed by one person. There's no precedent for it in any multiplayer game I know of and it's not as if these are M1A2's being shot at by Cold War weaponry.
There are 21 base infantry weapons in this game, 11 of which tanks are immune to, 3 that are equivalent to gnats, 1 only a threat to shields, 6 that are threats; though currently 3 are more of a nuisance and 1 is hit or miss on whether it works if it they drive over it. Leaving only 2 infantry weapons being viable threats to tanks: Forges & RE's. Then you have the 6 vehicle weapons which all but 1 pose a threat to tanks. 27 weapons in total and only 8 pose a threat to tanks (1 only to shields, 2 infantry, 5 vehicle)
While of the 21 base infantry weapons, infantry are semi-immune (they won't target or detonate at the presence of infantry alone but still can kill them) to 3, 1 is only a threat to shields, 17 pose a threat. Then you have the 6 vehicle weapons all of which pose a threat to infantry. 27 weapons in total and only 24 pose a threat to infantry (1 only to shields, 17 infantry, 6 vehicle)
So out of the 27 weapons in this game only 29% of them currently pose a threat to tanks; while 88% pose a threat to infantry. However tanks can be killed by 14 (3 only have a slim chance but still it's possible & those are FL, Locus, and Mass. while another 3 are either buggy or UP and 5 are vehicle weapons) which is 51% though only 7 have a fair chance of killing a tank so it's more like 25%. While infantry can be killed by 26 (again 3 have a slim chance and those are AV nades, PE, & Swarms. with the PE being buggy and 6 being vehicle weapons) which is 96% though only 23 have a fair chance of killing infantry so it's more like 85%.
So only 25% of the weapons have a fair chance of killing a tank most of which are vehicle weapons; while 85% of them have a fair chance of killing infantry most of which are infantry weapons. The thing is though not all infantry weapons can kill vehicles while all vehicle weapons can kill infantry.
What more do you guys want? To be gods?
