I repeat. ZIGZAG when the tank picks up a rock.
The AI tank calculates your movements by assuming you'll run continuously in one direction. Making simple zigzaggig movements throws off its aim completely. Try it!
Its still more recomended to take some cover. Zigzagging only works when you practice how to do it. The plain zigzag without correct timeing will still couse the rock to hit you.

You'll want something with a lot bullets because every bullet counts to slow him down (meanwhile, the shotty is remarkably bad at this strategy)
The shotgun is better for close range. Especialy a burning tank does get close and that makes the shotgun a much more effective weapon. However, noobs dont realize to NOT face the tank when they are running away and reloading. Running forward is faster than backward.

Well, molotovs are still liked alot as they couse that bit of extra damage which is allways welcome. In co-op however there are indeed moments where its safer not to use a molotov due to the tank speed increase.
