 Just wondered what you guys think about the tanks, and how you usually take them out. I've had some problems with them (lot of loading) before I managed to blow the up. I used the LAW, but need to have a clear view, which was difficult to find sometimes, each time I thought I had found a good place to shoot from, there was a sniper which I dind't know about, so the Airport in the Capital took a couple of hours to get through. Have to admit this was the first time I have been up against tanks, hopefully it wont be as hard next time.

 Most of the time i let one of my friends sneak up to the tank (when you are very close to the tank he can not see you). When he spots the tank someone else can take him out with a LAW. Look at the gun of the tank. His field of view is similar to a normal person.

 Let us not forget the almighty mortar. This ingenious generator of explosive-related happiness is actually very useful against tanks as you don

Yeah, a mortar team is usually the safest way to take out tanks. A cheaper way is a brave bomb guy sneaking up to the tank under cover of a smoke screen to plant contact explosive charges.

For safety's sake, I like to keep a healthy distance and clear out all the area around the tank of infantry before taking it out. This is easy since tanks are immobile in the game.

 Rocket Rifle also works well against tank armor, but it's just effective if you're using High Explosive Armor Piercing Rockets (HEAP) and they are in short supply in Arulco Sad . You'll just find this babies into Orta basement.

If you are REALLY desperate you can try using 40mm frag grenades against tanks: Drawback takes a lot of hits to blast a single tank this way, but... Wink

Also the drawback of the mortar is: Once fired the enemy will discover your Heavy Weapons guy location, so I prefer using Mortars at night operations.

The best part about the mortar is that you don't even need to have anyone see the tank. You can usually just bombard all the suspicious sandbag areas and be rewarded with the exploding tank sound.

 Attack from the North, in the night.
Kill enemy's mortar team first(in the middle of runway), then kill all enemy at the east side(in the air port fence). because the building, you will not see any tank. After clear all enemy north of the two building, destroy the tank in the gate from the north with mortar, LAW, 40mm grenades...
Then cut a hole at the west side fence, move out of the fence, kill enemies at/near the gate, then the tank near the fence, then the tank at south boarder.
(If attack from south, reverse the course.)

Always send two mercs to kill one tank to make sure it is destroyed in one turn.


If attack from east, it is very difficult. Need to sneak in the airport at north-eastern corner first.

 I can sneak up and plant remote detonated c4 charges on tanks and blow them all to hell. Of course, I do it at night only.....Try it, you'll want to do it again and again, even if you're drowning in mortar shells.

 yeah perko's a twat. tanks don't move so just mortar them. If you are lucky 1 mortar round will destroy a tank but usually it takes 2-3, so stock up on shells as soon as you can afford to buy them from brays.

 If i remember, you can steal the gun off a tank in version 1.03 and then punch the tank silly to build up your merc's strength, but they fixed that in later versions. I remember grabbing the tank cannon a long time ago, but was sad that I could not use it Sad

 The tank cannon uses cannon shells (I used an editor to check it out), I don't know if that's true, but after stealing the tank several times you get some shells...

 i don't believe you can steal shells. you could never steal ammo from enemies, only their weapons. The tank cannon item had the same graphic as the m79 grenade launcher and is unimpressive

 Sneaking around and placing explosives is my number one tactic when I want to have fun. I've stealthed my team into the palace grounds and snuck around the back, laying C4 to breach the Queen's room. Booom! Five mercs with weapons at the ready. The phrase "fish in a barrel" comes to mind.

I literally had situations of "fish in a barrel" in DG(where Gus said that) and JA2.
