Location, location, location.  In open terrain it gets more difficult for the infantryman to take on a tank.  The more restrictive the terrain, the better for infantry to engage armor.  Team work.  Hopefully it is done at least at squad level.  There needs to be several weapons involved.  The machinegun is needed to engage any supporting infantry at as long a distance as possible and suppressed as best as possible.  Grenade launchers with anti personnel, smoke, and AT rounds should also be employed.  They help suppress the infantry support, create blind spots and cover with the smoke, and the AT rounds may not destroy a tank, but they might be enough to disorient the crew or even disable it.  The light antitank weapons should be in two teems minimum, the more the better.  These hopefully will be under cover on the flanks as the other weapons draw the tanks attention.  If they can be fired in a volley there is a better chance of getting a kill.  If they can be on higher terrain, a shot at the engine compartment is preferable, as well as the sides, and rear if possible.  As soon as the volley is fired the teams must disburse and set up the next ambush position.  In a platoon engagement, the next position is already in place.  The infantry must keep the fight on their terms control the place of engagement if possible.  After the initial attack, if available, indirect fire should be called in to cover repositioning, continue the suppression of the infantry support and keep the tanks disoriented.  If available air assets should be called in after indirect fire has ended.  If none of the other support is available the infantry should disengage.  Once the element of surprise is lost armor has a chance to react.  Keeping the armor disoriented as long as possible is critical for the infantry?s survival.  Surprise and stealth are the tools of the infantry?s success.
