Battlelog says that the panels protect you from damage but are destroyed in the process.
Specifically, what do the Reactive Armor vehicle unlocks do?
It is my understanding that the last co-op mission "The Eleventh Hour" is the best on a "time spent vs co-op points earned" basis.
The Eleventh Hour
The attack has started. We’re confident this is the main attack referred to by El Zakir. Witnesses claim bomb like devices have been left in the metro and the Paris Stock Exchange. If Abdul Rahman is behind this attack, we expect it to be similar to the one that took place in London several years ago. You will be assisting the French police to locate and disarm the bombs and neutralize Rahman if the opportunity presents itself.
There are two things you can do on the final co-op mission to optimize points:
When you reach the bank with the police, don't advance up the steps. Apparently enemies respawn forever if you fail to advance up the steps, and people have reported mission scores of up to 200k here. However, I don't know if this is efficient on a time spent to points earned basis.
When you reach the bomb, intentionally fail to enter the correct code. Then repeat the mission. Apparently you can get between 3k-5k points in a little over a minute (say 1:20) with this method. That means you'd net around 180k co-op points in an hour.
There are a few co-op missions I'd definitely avoid as they take a long time to complete; the last mission feels like the shortest one to me.
Feel free to try it out and let us know how it goes!
There is an anti-team-killing setup on the server side of things. Server admins can adjust these as they see fit, but if you team kill enough you'll get booted.
This is what the defaults look like:

There are three panels, protecting the sides and rear of the tank. No protection is given to the front of the tank. Each one can take one incoming rocket, tank shell or AT Mine before being destroyed. Once the tank's health has been repaired, the panels can be repaired by a friendly engineer. Enemy engineers can't destroy the armour using a repair tool but they can by using their RPG/SMAW or AT MINE.
To repair the Reactive armour the tank must be at 100% health. If you do know what parts of the tank does not have the armour, use the repair tool and repair the side for 3-5 seconds and should be back up.
