>still havent managed to steal a tank to this day
The easiest way to steal "live" tanks IMO is near the Pay-n-Spray behind the parking garage in Staunton Island.
>make sure you have plenty of molotovs
>park car halfway out of the Pay-n-Spray
>summon army
If you position yourself correctly, the tanks will bonk into the wall next to the ramp and won't drive up the ramp toward the Pay-n-Spray because they're trying to drive toward you. Try to get the tank to drive into the corner of the ramp and the second level, then get the soldiers to exit the tank. Toss a couple molotovs over the edge, and the soldiers will all catch fire and die. It can be tricky because if you use too many molotovs, the tank will catch fire and explode. You might need to use the Pay-n-Spray a couple times, but you should be able to get rid of all the soldiers without your wanted level getting high enough to summon the FBI.
Then you can just stroll down the ramp, get into the tank (it will give you a wanted star), and cruise over to your safehouse on the other side of the alley.
Of course you can get free tanks for completing the Arms Shortage mission for Ray's army buddy, but it's more rewarding to steal them from soldiers.
