If you're looking to deal as much damage as possible to tanks, try a Beggar's Bazooka soldier or a Phlogistinator pyro. Incidentally, these classes are still solid tank killers even when using other weapons. Pyro has the added advantage of being dirt cheap to upgrade as far as tank damage goes; you just need damage and a little ammo capacity and you're set. Flame particles also penetrate through the tank, dealing damage to bots that may happen to be on the other side. A big perk to using soldier against tanks is the Buff Banner, which is, for all intents and purposes, the only way your team is going to get mini-crit damage on the tank.

Scout soda popper (see youtube). Point blank, moving back and forth as he reloads.

Of course what a scout is doing with a max'ed out soda popper fighting a tank ;-) though you always get the chance to help out.

Phlog, Beggars and Sodapopper is THE best anti-tank weapons. Everything else is just meh compared to these 3.

The ♥♥♥♥ am I reading? Direct hit and Huntsman as best tank busting weapons? Try actually testing things before saying ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, which is almost all you do.

Best weapon for tank busting for each class are -
  • Scout - Sodapopper.

  • Soldier - Beggars.

  • Pyro - Phlog.

  • Demo - Loch n Load
    Skullcutter deals more damage but everyone knows how suicidal it is to go demoknight.

  • Heavy - Brass beast.

  • Engi - Stock wrench/frontier justice.
    Meleeing the tank while the sentry autofire, deals more damage than wrangling and frontier justice depends on how many revenge crits you get and the tanks health.

  • Medic - Ubersaw.
    Only use it if you don't have time/a chance to get another kritz charge.

  • Sniper - Any rifle.
    Bushwacka if there is a buff banner.

  • Spy - Any knife
    Stock revolver does more damage but only wave 666 gives you enough money for that

Note that at 0 cash a heavy is far more viable then you might realize. The more cash you have, the less viable he becomes against tanks.

Even with his 75% damage nerf, with the brass beast he can still reach 150dps on the tank. With a buff banner this can become ~200dps which other classes wont beat.

The phlog in that case needs about 20 seconds to be able to recieve the crit boost and this is the only reason why a phlog still beats the minigun. But thats also a risk reward situation, and is compensated with the part the heavy still remains a major bot killer.

At 0 cash the heavy is the 2nd best tank buster. Phlog is 1st
At 750 cash the beggars is better than a pyro. By reaching a 4x base speed of shooting where the phlog is still capped at only a 25% damage boost from 1 upgrade.
At 1200-1600 the phlog is best again
And at some point the beggars will beat the phlog again when using crit canteens. I dont know the exact value of this moment however.
