Fully loaded knife hit is 250 damage. (appro)
It takes time and make the holder unable to run making it HARD to follow the tanks.
and the third camera make the tank able to see it.

You think a 250 damage (if lucky) on a tank would be useful ?

Swarms are 220 x 5 (ADV) and are almost useless.
Plasma cannon is 1000 of damage and as everybody know it it's pretty useless against a tank that is not AFK.....

If you want melee weapons to affect vehicules it must not be on pure damage.
But !

I think each melee weapon of each race could apply a special debuff on vehicules hit.

Caldari (NK) : Sparks from the knife makes the Main turret instantly Overheat. Turret must have cooldowned before Re-applyng the overheat.
Gallente : Makes the scan of the tank totally disabled, no information on Map for 30/60sec. / Tank is spotted for same time.
Minmatarr : Tank speed is reduced to 20% of normal speed for 10sec (keep hitting it to reduce the tank speed as long as you hit.)
Amarr : Laser tech makes melt the "defensive" of tanks making them takes 20% more damage for 25sec.

Worth it.

You've obviously never actually used NKs, or even really seen them used... a proto Minja with proto knives will hit with 2 charged swipes (each trigger tap / charge = 2 swipes) for upwards of 1200 damage, or more than a militia FG. With a 0.8 second charge time, you could slice through an unhardened Madrugar before a breach forge has even finished charging. NKs out-damage every weapon in the game, if you can get into melee range. Also, this really isn't meant to be useful suggestion for serious AVing, just a fun thing that would only require CCP to change a few numbers in their database.

If I'm in melee range of the tank, it's remote -> remote -> remote -> slash slash -> slash slash -> detonate = hardened Madrugar goes boom, and deserves it for not noticing me.
