A Tank in GTA 1.

The Tank is, as implied, a military tank. It has been featured in Grand Theft Auto, Grand Theft Auto 2, as well as Grand Theft Auto Advance.

Description

Design

While tanks in GTA 1 and GTA 2 are presumably original in design, the Tank in GTA Advance assumes the appearance of a Rhino; all three renditions are painted in some form of ,military green paintwork, fitting for their design as a military vehicle. It is unknown why the GTA Advance rendition's name is inconsistent with other renditions of the Rhino, despite sharing the same body design.

Performance

As expected, Tanks tend to be slow and lumbering due to its excessive size, but the vehicle is regarded as a special vehicle in the games due to its extraordinary strength and ability to blow up vehicles by driving over them or using the turret to shoot at them. The turret however, has limited shots when the player uses it in GTA 1 and GTA 2. Tanks in GTA Advance are also capable of maintaining their speed while traveling off-road, something most road vehicles are not able to do.

The Tank is an extremely deadly enemy because of its powerful cannon and can only be damaged with explosives. They're used to block roads, but will shoot at the player while doing this. Like other vehicles in GTA 2, it can't be stolen when used in a blockade. Although it posses great firepower and is very durable, it's not good to use against tank blockades because it's a very easy target for other tanks, whose cannons will make short work of it.

Like the Rhino, the Tank in GTA Advance allows the player to activate Vigilante side-missions; it even capable of sounding a siren; in addition, the scrap value of a Tank at the game's crusher is the highest among all GTA Advance vehicles, at $19,904.

Similar vehicles

Similarly designed tanks assumed different names in GTA London, including the Royal Pain in Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 and the Tiger Tank in Grand Theft Auto: London 1961. With the exception of GTA Advance's tank, tanks from Grand Theft Auto III onwards are known as Rhinos.
