#3 the armor under a tank is almost non-existant, this is why in the military ppl are taught to shoot as they crest hills & the belly is exposed
now add up the factors from #1, #2, and #3....can 3 or 4 nades take out a tank?
according to the US military, yes......take the time to LOOK IT UP...instead of spouting your Hollywood war film crap

Can I get an Amen....
The armour under the engine section of a tank is not too thick.... they saved alot of wieght by having the plating NOT carry on under the tank... I have never tried to blow up a tank with grenades, but I can see them doing enough damage to immobilize the tank, there fore in BF blowing it up as they don't immobilize vehicles.
[edit]Just went and did some research on the sherman for an example.... on the hull of the Sherman tank the underside had a whopping 13mm of armour. That works out to 17/32 of an inch.... Trust me... a nade can blow through that with NO problem
