Is there a way to enter the military base without being shot at? I want to get the attack chopper but everytime I try to get it I get killed. I tried taking a chopper into the base a rush to the AC but I get blown up when I get inside the damned attack chopper. Is there a way to get in unharmed?

Go to the Police Station in Washington Beach after you've completed the "Copland" mission. Inside the locker room on the left is a Police uniform. Pick it up, and you can enter the military base without them shooting you. However, if you attack them, they'll attack you right back.

Take any other chopper in the city, come in low and fast, check where the troops are and dump your chopper down RIGHT NEXT to the Apache, so that when you hop out both it and the Apache are shielding you from fire. Then hop in and away you go.

wtf? there is a military base?
Where?
I'm SO gonna play vice city tonight

Bad tactic... the Apache usually takes so long to take off, the soldiers' M-16s will blow it up. I suppose if you manage to obliterate any nearby group with the heli crash...

Look on the map, and it's just to the East (I believe) of the airport. You'll need a vehicle to crash through the gate or use to jump over the gate.

IIRC it's in the south west of the town.

Right by the airport, that little squared off area thingy by it.

As was said before, your best bet is the cop uniform.

one apache coming up

The Apache is sweet... I remember a police mission rampage that did not end until the game crashed (on PS2). Fun.

Do you need a certain number of packages to get the Apache, because I've gotten into the base before, and didn't see it.

100 hidden packages, or beating the game. Whichever one you complete first spawns one at the military base, the other spawns one at the helipad at the southern end of Ocean Beach, just south of Ammu-Nation.

My friend maxed out his money that way; he got up to something like level 400. I think it took him four hours. And he was finally brought down not by the army, but crashing into a building.

The highest I ever got on the Vigilante missions was to around Level 140. Unfortunately, after that one particular stretch all the criminals had better weapons, for some reason, so I could never get that high again.

I've pulled this stunt off more times than I can count, only being killed by the soldiers about 10 times.

Land your chopper close to the rear wall and near the Hunter, and you won't be fired upon. Soldiers rarely spawn in the rear enclosure with the Hunter and you can usually see them when they do. The altitude of your approach doesn't matter much, though keep yourself low to decrease the amount of time to land. Approach only from the north, since even being around the base for almost any length of time will cause a response (I've been shot from range standing across the street from the base's entrance with no wanted level and holding no weapons).

The last time I got near the apache I got swiss cheesed by at least 20 soldiers.

I'll try that.

Taking the cop uniform works! I took the chopper but for a stupid reason I flew it into a tunnel and went Kaboom.

Another question..... is there another way of destroying a tank other than by another tank?

Molotovs btw you have both guns and missles on the Hunter.

Molotovs can take out a tank?

I know the hunter has those two weapons but I haven't tried them on a tank. Plus it is almost impossible to fly and fire at the same time. >:(

It is vulnerable to flipping over and getting stuck in water like any other vehicle, if that helps.

It doesn't help if you're being chased by one. If I get into a tank then about three shots from it would take out a tank but I want to know if there is a weapon that can take out a tank that doesn't involve a weapon on a vehicle.

yes Molotov cocktails....bottles with rags in em ...throw one and it causes a fire.

If you don't know where they are, they're very close to your big downtown hideout, the one with 3 garages and a helipad. From the aforementioned hideout, go to the end of the alley with the two orange/white roadblock things. Across the street, there is an outdoor cafe. Go to the back of the cafe, and there is a molotov pickup.

Or "thugstools".
