Doesn't work because the tanks just drive over them without hardly any
losses, Try mines instead to soften up the approaching troops.

Yep, try building a triple line of gun turrets plus a few tanks of your
own (to destroy the V2 rocket launchers).

That's essential and if you can block a narrow access way to your base
then so much for the better.

Most important:
4. Never lose the offense and put your opponent under pressure. 

5. Chrono-MBF-gun turret in the enemy base tactic (mix it with a few
Tanyas and Thieves ...)

6. Go for the economics, i.e. build a lot of the fast tanks and blast 
the ore carriers.
