I've seen them taken out with tanks as well but it seems unlikely that a tank could be precise enough to hit specific places on the inside with shells.
Sorry I just noticed this, there is no "building HP", there are just specific 'load-bearing' areas based on the physics of the building. If you take out those load bearing walls with any explosive, grenades, C4, vehicles, it will come down. C4 is just easier because I can select which areas. For example, C on White Pass.. one on the front between door and window, one on each side wall, one on back wall and one on that little closet. It'll come down in one destroy. Same with every building on Arica Harbor, save the 'constructiony' ones at the top and bottom.

It's a bit of a science, but it's even easier if a building has been partially damaged. You can collapse a 3-story with one or two well-placed C4s if you put them in the right place. Throwing them upwards (high on the wall towards the second floor) helps too because it takes out level 1 and level 2 walls at that spot.

My major problem is that I end up killing them with C4 before it comes down, and theres no one in the building once it does.
