Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/MetalFatigue'' had standard tanks that fell somewhere between 'useless' and 'sodding useless,' with the sole use of being the most commonly available unit that could travel underground (with the unfortunate caveat that most players ''hated'' underground combat). Otherwise, even a platoon of tanks could barely scratch a [[HumongousMecha Combot]] and were utterly helpless against aircraft, leaving most players to simply station one or two tanks at select locations as pickets.

* In ''Film/IronMan1'', Tony Stark (in his Iron-Man suit) gets matched up against a tank. The tank was able to accurately knock him out of the sky with a shell, and scuff up his armor (there's a deleted scene that showed how bad the damage was). Iron Man stands right back up, looks at the tank, fires a dinky missile at it, and walks away. [[YouAreAlreadyDead Said tank then explodes]]. [[AllThereInTheManual The novelization]] confirms that the missile did penetrate a weak spot on the tank and set off the ammo.

** ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen'' depicts a squad of Abrams being used more effectively in the Battle of Giza, being used in a hull-down position as direct-fire artillery against the Decepticons. But then the Fallen starts [[GravityMaster playing around with gravity]] and the tanks are once again thrown around like gravel.
