I'm on the mission where you have to drive up to the convoy and steal
the tank. I keep getting killed instantly, even with full armor on and
all weapons. Is there some good strategy out there that can help me
complete this?

And on GTA3 I'm on the mission where the Triads ambush me with the big
fish trucks while I'm driving the long black limo. This is hard as heck.

I wait on the grass across the main street near the water for the convoy
just south of the direction it's headed with the sniper rifle.  You can put
a car in it's path so that the convoy will stop to clear the path. When it
gets near, I pop the head off the guy sticking out of the turret, then run
up and hop in- because once that guy's dead, you should be able to hijack
the tank.

No real strategy other than good driving...

Don't rush in and start shooting right away.  Bide your time until the
convoy stops for coffee and donuts at the little cafe.  When the
driver gets out to pick up breakfast, you jump in.

That's a good one...

Whatever you do you want to block off the convoy with a vehicle first.

You can try jacking the tank, unarmed, when it's not moving. But that
doesn't seem to work all the time.

If you do 60 hidden packages before this mission you get the minigun
delivered to ocean beach hotel and hyman condo. Mowing them down with
the minigun is probably too easy.

You can also try using a rocket launcher which you can get at hooker
hotel, which you pass on your way to the airport.

Using the Colt M4 will probably also work, just have a lot of distance
and take out that truck with the soilders in the back first before it
gets to you . You can get it by Aunty Polet's house and in the moon
landing building in the film studio (you have to use the copter to get
to it.)

Thanks. I finally completed "Sir Yes Sir!", firing off rounds with the
gatling gun. I found it easier with that than with the rocket launcher I
had been using.

I drove around the back of the buildings to the right of the entrance to
Salvatores place, that way you miss the triads waiting at the gate.

Wait until one of them is sent for Donuts (that's the US spelling, isn't
it?!) then just run up and hijack the tank. Easy!

I never had a poblem with this mission. Just floor it and keep going :-)

       Park the limo so you're pointing back towards Joey's place. As soon
as the cutscene ends, go straight ahead to the alley on the left (I think
there's a bribe there) - you'll lose the trucks in there. Turn left at the
top and you're on the street for Sal's mansion. Ram through the trucks
blocking the driveway and get in the garage. The only really tricky part is
carrying enough momentum to knock the triad trucks out of the way.
