Help with capturing Tank; Tricky boss battle

So I've been playing more of Peace Walker and I'm up to the stage where I have to fight the Tank(the second one, not the LAV).
So far it's totally wrecked with that damn main gun and the enemies just keep respawning.
I want to be able to capture it.
What's the best way to finish that battle(specifically what's the best load out and strategy).
I've already given it at least fifteen tries with no luck.

If you want to capture it just sit back with a silenced mosin nagit*(don't know how to spell it lol) and an mk22 and smoke grenades put the soldiers to sleep and make sure ur hidden well and then throw a smoke grenade over to the sleeping soldiers and then fluton them then go back to your hiding position and keep on repeating this.

Hope this helped you

I doubt that he has during the 2nd main ops bossfight a silenced Mosin Nagat yet ;-)

In any case don't try to finish the fight without any alerts.
Easiest way usually is to hide behind the wagon in the hangar and first just kill all the soldiers. Should the tank shoot the wagon out of the hangar, once again go after it and hide behind it. From there just wait for the soldiers and kill them with an Assault rifle.

After no more backup is coming, shoot the tank with your rocket launcher till the captain shows up.

Not sure if you have the battle suit yet but if not than I'd use this equipment

Assault rifle
your strongest rocket launcher
Supply marker
strike marker

ration
best curry you got
soda
tortilla

in other words everything that recovers your life.
IMO this is at least the easiest way to get it done. Certainly not the quickest but easiest.

No, this is my first time so I don't have a Mosin Nagant or any sort of armor or camo apart from Jungle Camo and Naked.

Ok then the only advice I can give you is use the mk 22 (the pistol that puts people to sleep) and hide somewhere good and pop out now and again to shoot the soldiers and put them to sleep and if you have unlocked the smoke grenade throw it at the sleeping soldiers and then fluton the soldiers and then keep on repeating this until all the soldiers have gone and stop respawning and then the commander shoot pop out the top of his tank then put him to sleep with your mk 22.

Hope this helped :)

BOOM!!!
Glad you asked, this gives me a good reason to proceed with my boss guide, I'll start it tonight and get it done by tomorrow probably. Do you already have the Sneaking suit? (I forgot when you get it) If you do, run to the hangar and then get behind the soldiers, freeze them all one by one and then use fulton on them. Then quickly hide and repeat. I think there are like 12 soldiers. If you don't have enough fultons, just kill them. If the tank didn't see you after you disposed of all of his soldiers, the captain will come out, just finish him.

If you don't have the Sneaking suit: Use the trains when they are down to cover from the missiles, if you don't wanna use rations just lay down to recover your HP. You have to dispose of all the soldiers and do the tank 3 bars of damage if you get seen.

best way that's worked for me for capturing any tank without any alerts is to tranq the soldiers with my MK22. i crouch walk towards the enemy soldiers from the back and then tranq them from a far. then they slowly drop like flies and i fulton them, hide, and wait till more soldiers show up and do the same thing. after i've fultoned all the soldiers the captain pops out and looks for me. while he's driving around i tranq him til he goes night night and i capture the tank with S rank. i've done this a good number of times.

if i get caught i equip my stun 'nades and toss one at the enemy soldiers when they're huddled together so i can run over to them and get em in a nice CQC chain, knock em out and then fulton them. i keep doing this til all soldiers are gone then i concentrate on the tank with my MK22. :)

Thanks guys, I finally managed to do it ^_^
I kept using that supply marker and ambushed the soldiers, tranqed them without any alerts and hid to wait for the reinforcements to come. Tranqed those and used an RPG to take out the fuel tanks on the tank(jumping in and out of cover in the hangar). A couple of rockets and grnades later and both fuel tanks are gone forcing the commander out. From there on it was pretty much in the bag :D
Nice reward too, I love the Mosin Nagant(ever since MGS4).
