The tank is the WWII era T-35/85, which is the weakest tank available to the rebels. The basis for its deployment is that, when rebel occupy a town, and CNF forces are forced to respond, a two unit tank detachment is sent out to counter Chernarusian naval forces (CNF).
Chernarusian naval infantry tactical commanders have two types of artillery available to them, 127mm naval gun on one of the frigates, and 82mm mortars, which are deployed with the naval infantry forces.
CNF naval infantry squads do have two RPG-7 gunners, who are adequate to the threat, but they have to be the right shot at the right time. Those shooters are vulnerable to counterfire.
CNF naval infantry tactical commanders are trained artillery spotters and can land heavy naval artillery close to their targets in less than two minutes. The artillery fire is devastating, but it is not very effective when spotted by the commander.
CNF frigates can fire their 127mm guns and hit moving targets with greater effectiveness than the tactical commander while using their targeting radar. Terrain matters, however, so a tank detachment moving through the hills and rills of eastern Altis has protection while traveling to their destination.
The most favorable conditions for destroying an enemy tank is at night and in non-built up terrain. There, naval artillery can be used to great effectiveness, without the additional worry of hitting nearby civilians and their property.
CNF naval infantry does not have any tanks organic to their organization. In other locations, they must rely on army units (CDF) to supply armor, or air force units. In deployments where heavy naval infantry must be deployed, the conditions, such as logistics and port requirements, are so severe and complicated, it makes no sense for that kind of deployment.
