While the Tank in GTA 1 is based on a Centurion, the tanks in [[Grand Theft Auto 2|GTA 2]] and [[GTA Advance]] are presumably original in design. The Tank in GTA Advance assumes the appearance of an early [[Rhino]] in [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA Vice City]], with a noticeably larger turret and additional detailing; all three renditions are painted in some form of military green paintwork, fitting for their design as a military vehicle. It is unknown why the GTA Advance rendition's name is inconsistent with other renditions of the Rhino, despite sharing the same body design.

The Tank is useful for gaining a wanted level which causes large amount of money with invulnerability, the player just needs to run down some cars or police vehicles. This is very useful if the player wants to proceed to a new area quickly. Tanks are only weak against rocket launchers and collisions with other vehicles.

Grand Theft Auto 2

When used against the player in GTA 2, the Tank proves to be extremely deadly due to its tendency to open fire at the player using the turret; the vehicle will also be used to good effect in military road blocks to halt the player's advance while firing at the player. When one is in the hands of the player in any game, however, the player can inflict substantial amounts of damage and rake up a large numbers of points in the process. The Tank is less effective against tank blockades in GTA 2 because it is a very easy target for other tanks, whose cannons will make short work of it.

The Tank is weak against explosive weapons (rocket launchers, grenades, or another Tank's turret) and Molotov cocktails.

Grand Theft Auto Advance

Again, the Tank is a strong and durable vehicle, capable of taking out enemies with its main cannon. Tanks in Grand Theft Auto Advance are also capable of maintaining their speed while traveling off-road, something most road vehicles are not able to do.

The Tank allows the player to activate Vigilante side-missions, and is also capable of sounding a siren. Tanks are vulnerable to Molotov cocktails.
