Tank:
A tank can be found on top a building on level 2. The easiest way to find it is to enable the "Display coordinates" code. Go to coordinates x 30, y 175. Use the stairs to climb the building, then get in the tank and drive off the short ledge. It will be a kill frenzy time limit for 20 cars to blow up.

To obtain the tank in San Andreas, drive to the big red bridge and continue to drive south on it until you reach the end. Along the way, you should see an island with a tank off to the right in the water (if you are driving against traffic). Turn left at the end, then turn up and drive up past the bomb shop until you get to the water. Get out and walk along the water (but do not fall in) until you see two lines in the water that look like a bridge. Walk straight out into the water. Stay on the "water bridge" and you will not die. Keep walking until you reach the island with the tank. Get in and drive back down the bridge. Do not get yourself stuck between any buildings on the way back -- it is easy to get the tank wedged in small places. Take open routes, and try not to drive between trees, as you can also get stuck between them.
