Apparently the molotov cocktail can disrupt the communication of a tank but can't really damage it.

Prob. not today's tanks. Did you know that Elvis Presley was in the 1st Medium Tank Battalion, 32nd Armor, 3rd Armored Division?? On discharge he was a sergeant.

Depends on where you hit it. And a lot of other, particularly what the tanks is has loaded on outside. It was entirely possible to drop a Molotov onto the periscope of the driver and then close up with the tank and attack it with grenades/jam the tread.

open turret hatch is always a good target in a city

Shocking to learn that Molotov was more than a simple bartender.
