Here is the strategy:

A couple of units of Guards troops buttoning the tank supported by 1 or 2 Tank Destroyers. Can do it with 1 Destroyer but 2 is always safest. I found that if you keep the Guards units in front of the Destroyers the player will hesitate in rushing forward towards the Destroyer meaning the Destroyer can use it's better range to its advantage. No tank likes Guards troops firing at its rear, especially with the buttoning ability.

Works like a charm for me against Panzers especially, they get completely owned.

Good idea,
And what you do when german tanks drop smoke from their doctrines an button stops?

It's all about micro and that's a bit hard with the delay.

I never had any players pop smoke yet. And buttoning ability only needs to be used once per Guard unit. If you have two or three once one has finished the other unit takes over buttoning. Also Guards damage tanks jsut by shooting anyway. But the main point is the enemy won't move his tanks forward to take out your tank as they worry about the Guards shooting it behind helping your tank keep its range

Guards have an ability called buttoning, activate it to button the tank (makes the tank lose its field of vision by firing into the slit in the tank where they see from). Here is a video of some guy using the same strategy I'm talking about:

Uh...the video was great and all, but in no way did it demonstrat the tactic as he described it. I saw him defeat the german armor by a) outnumbering it, b) catching it at low health, and, c) flanking it.
