Still logically no Nova Knife could penetrate meaningfully 120mm if armour plating without spending a couple of minute carving at the hull.
Which is why the tank deserves to die if its driver is stupid enough to let himself get stabbed for that long.
I have been constantly trying to stab tanks to death for a very long time now and I can tell you that the chance of success is minimal at best, abysmal at worst. The best way to kill a tank is to get the jump on them, literally and figuratively, and use your most expensive nova knife fit. But even then, a competent driver can simply drive away and cause you to lose your footing on the vehicle as it moves and just force you to get off the vehicle and drive away. Worse still if the tank happens to have a buddy manning the small guns.
Only idiot drivers allow themselves to get killed by a knife.
I even managed to kill a dropship with MILITIA NOVA KNIVES while the pilot was trying to squish me on the ground. Unfortunately for him, he hit the ground too hard and thus reduced his vehicle's shield and armor down enough to finish him off with one swipe. I LOL'ED!
PS: All knives do only 50% damage to vehicles.
PPS: Yes, I did die when I stabbed the dropship to death.

Let me explain why.
1. Drive away
2. Blow him to bits
3. Drive away
4. What else can I say? A guy shouldn't have enough time to strip 3000+ hp of a tank before you get away.
A proto minja with charged knives and lands both hits does around 1100hp (dont quote me on this but its something like that). The charge time could be short, but it's not enough to blow you up. You're acting like the knives are a OHKO
Also, knives do 50% damage. That requires 6 or more charged hits on a non-modded tank. Git gud.
On top of that, most drivers happen to be HMG-wielding Sentinels who pop out as soon as little old me jump onto their tank.
