Destroying the tank | Mission 3 - Halfaya Pass Sniper Elite III Guide

Remember to avoid being seen by the crew

You will receive a new objective now, connected with meeting your allies. Unfortunately, reaching the zone (number 17 on the map) will be interrupted by an enemy Panzer 3 tank. The machine will start patrolling the glade, which you've secured earlier (number 16), and you won't be able to advance to the next mission until you destroy it.

You can eliminate the driver

It's up to you whether you will try to destroy the tank right away or weaken it at first. In the second case, you can use your rifle to damage the engine (metal covers at the back of the machine) and immobilize it by shooting the driver through a small hole in the front. However, these actions are quite risky, because you can be spotted by the crew and the tank will start to shoot. It is best to perform them from a large distance and switch positions after each shot.

The land mine has to be placed on the tank's route

A good way to destroy the tank is to use explosives. Try to place land mines on one of the main roads. After setting the trap, hide in a safe place. Unfortunately, a single mine may not be enough to complete the task.

The dynamite can be very useful in completing the objective

An even better idea is to use a dynamite. Similarly as in the first case, you have to place the explosives on one of the main roads around the glade. Then, go to one of the viewpoints and wait for the right moment to detonate the dynamite with a shot from your sniper rifle. In this case, a single explosion should be enough.
