Stealing a tank

I always have trouble trying to steal a tank.   What's the best way to do it? I can get 6 stars easily enough, but the tank doors are always locked. How do you get guys to come out of them so you can take them over?

When u get to 6 stars and tanks start coming after you, just

lure them to a corner or wall and then stand there and wait for

the soldiers inside to come out.. but you have to watch your health

while you're at it.

I do this a lot and it's easy: I usually start at the mansion, killing my gang members and cops until I have 6 stars, then I take the white Infernus, and weave my way to the Pay N' Spray in Little Haiti (make sure there is a tank near you). Then, once you're start free, on clean slate, stop in front of the tank, and it'll stop and start honking at you. Then, using a sniper rifle or machine gun, shoot one of the soldiers killing him instantly, and when the other gets out, kill him quickly. You're home free with the tank. You'll have 2 starts which will add up quick with cops ramming you but whatever.

 

That's an easy way. :D

Go into a little corner so they won't get and when the solder gets out kill him and you got the tank.

All I did was get a car and start from the front or the back of the Military Convoy, take a big run up, and mow down the soldiers down one side of the tank. Go and take another run up and mow down the soldiers on the other side of the Convoy with the car. (best to have some body armour on when you attempt this mission)

 

Then they all go apesh*t and try and take you out personally. Kill 'em all with your favourite choice of weapon and you'll find the tank is emptied. Take that big brute of a tank and scoot on over to the lockup. Anyone who tries to get in front of you just explodes with the slightest contact.

 

Piece of piss.  :devil:

I have a suggestion. You get a Molotov c*cktail, and once you had lured a tank out to you throw the molotov and the tank will be on fire, and soldierboys comes out, into the flame. Now you should be fireproof so you wouldn't have trouble going into the blaze so while protected by the flame, you drive off with the tank.

 

you may not want to try this, because Fire will damage tank.

I've gotten all of my tanks by standing on the 2nd floor of Sunshine Motors.  Just do whatever until you have 6 stars, and wait for a tank to roll up.  Using a sniper rifle kill the two army soldiers in the tank, jump down from the 2nd floor and steal the tank, take a three second drive to your multiple garages right next to you, and you're done.

 

On the second floor you don't run into the risk of helicopters shooting you, cars running into you, law enforcement coming up there with you, or getting shot at all.  You're basically just killing everything until you lure a tank next to you.

 

Also, for the sake of getting rid of the stars, I have a car that's in the garage directly across from the Pay N' Spray that's located with your garages at Sunshine Motors.  So, I park the tank in an empty garage slot, and jump over to the other garage and just drive straight into the Pay N' Spray.

Using the exact same technique as jesse above I have been OVERLY successful - several times I have been chased into one of my garages by another tank - thereby capturing TWO tanks at a time :) Once the doors have closed, the soldiers inside disappear, but the tank stays.

Collect 90/100 packages, and go to the Fort Baxter Airbase and pick it up :beerhat:

If he took it from the base he would still be stealing it..... He'd be stealing it from the army.
