How to damage a tank

Tanks in Battlefield 3 have different amounts of armor on the front, their sides and the back, allowing for a bit of strategy in bringing them down. The following weapons do 'points' of damage in relation to the side of the tank you hit. Especially notice the "grenades - no effect" bit ;)
