I used to deal with this quite a bit during the pre missle nerf days. My own way of dealing with them is to load a militia armour tank with a Lg rail turret and just hit him from across the map. Either you'll destroy him (unlikely) or you'll drive him back into cover or out of his position, the latter is preferable as the tanker will usually expose himself as he then comes to hunt you down.
In such a situation it's imperative that you are AV armed and some of your team is as well and on comms. Mainly because there is a good chance he is a better tanker than you are if you are in this situation. So hit him a bit with your cheap tank then about halfway through the slog BAIL, I cannot stress this enough if you are an AV skilled player at all leave the tank he will keep shooting it. The enemy players who tend to use the above tactic usually follow this trend and the tank also gives you some handy cover for you to finish him off from.
Also before people ask why I used Armour tanks in the pre missile nerf days, simple I'm a heavy with lot's of sp in armour more for them to chew through, and now it's even more useful.
I hope this helps you a bit,

Snag If you don't have a good tank you will get one shot by those rails.
If the rails are not on my side I destroy them, just SOP.
It doesn't always help out our team but it removes the enemies chance of using them as well and gives me a chance to use my 'rubbish' militia tanks.

Snag In retrospect we should have had some kind of Anti-Armor waiting below in case he fled the hill. It was the first time dealing with the situation and it was a bit sloppy. Thanks for the good advice. We had a nanohive, and all had AV nades he would have been down at about the same speed as if we were AV Heavies. The hole in our plan was him fleeing.
Well the game has a harsh learning curve and now you are a lot better equipped to deal with it next time. I'm glad that I could help if only a bit. As a wise man once said 'Experience is only something you get AFTER you need it'.
All the best lads!!
