How to unlock the Armor Piercing achievement in Saints Row - Definitive Guide

This is really easy. The longest part about it is getting far enough in the story to unlock the business you need to buy which is "Eurekabator!" Just do the ventures for this business until you unlock it, then start killing cops until you have notoriety 5 and a tank should spawn. Just toss it down, and unload on the driver. Simple as that! Good luck! toast
Edit: People have been having issues with this saying their tanks are blowing up before they get the kill. Several people have confirmed using the upgraded K8 Krukov to kill the driver works perfectly!

The maxed out K8 Krukov also worked for me after having the same troubles. You can also get a driver with or without armor. If he has armor, you're probably going to destroy the tank before you kill him which makes no sense...lol.

you can do this with the maxed k8 however you need to ensure the driver doesn't have armor

No special needed for the k8 it just gives takedown cooldown bonus on killstreaks, 3/3 upgrade is enough.

When the tank spawns press start and go to options-gameplay-challenge options and turn the vehicle combat difficulty up to 10. This will give the tank loads of health and you can easily shoot the driver before the tank is destroyed.

Might want to add to the guide that Quantum Aperture is a skill you have to equip and not a weapon.

EDIT: Snitty's comment worked like a charm you should also add that too

Snitty's tip helped a lot. I used a Level 2 K8 and had no issues with blowing up the tank thanks to the increased difficulty.

I have been having endless troubles with this one. Every weapon I try ends up destroying the tank at the same time as killing the driver which, apparently, voids the achievement. Any advice from someone who, perhaps, experienced the same?

Follow-up: A maxed-out K8 Krukov rifle fired in short bursts got this for me.

Would advise changing your lock on type to Full Lock or Short Lock before starting this challenge as you want to take out the Tank Driver as quick as possible before he locks onto you

When you can purchase the Radio Tower, buy it, then you can call in Marshall, the tank will only appear during a 5 star chase so its mostly endurance. Optionally to make it easier, you can call in Eli,Kevin and Neenah before starting to make the waves that little bit more easier, Once the tank appears, don't get too close and use the Quantum aperture with an SMG or Assault Rifle, aiming for the head but only do bursts and not full auto. May take 1 or 2 attempts as the achievement and spawning can be slightly buggy at times

Marshall don't send a tank, the Police do.

To acquire the Quantum Aperture, you’ll need to first purchase the Eurekabator! Criminal Venture for $100,000 upon reaching Empire Tier 2. Then, you’ll need to complete the second Alpha Test, which showcases what the gadget can do - it creates a window, which allows you to shoot through walls. Once you’ve got hold of the Quantum Aperture, equip it, and use it on a tank - a Marshall tank will do it - then shoot the driver (hostiles appear as red projections) out of their seat.

You'll unlock the Quantum Aperture through completion of the Eurekabator! venture. This is basically a shield that allows you to see and shoot enemies through any surfaces for a limited time, including through tanks.

Once you've unlocked it, you'll need to equip it through the Skills App, it's the final skill listed. You'll then want to cause some trouble until you get max noteriety with the police, if you wait until you've unlocked the KAKTS Radio venture you'll have to max out noteriety for that anyway. Once you've maxed it out a tank should come after you, so activate the Quantum Aperature and shoot the outline of the tank driver for this trophy.

The Quad Aperture skill can be obtained by completing missions from the EUREKABATOR enterprise!
Second mission.

Tanks come hunting for you when you reach level 5 bad reputation against the police

The trophy is glitchy, or I misunderstood it. When using the quantum aperture, it is clear that two people are sitting in the tank - the driver and the gunner. Judging by the logic - the gunner is on top, the driver is lower. If you killed the driver, the tank exploded, the police rating was reset, and the trophy did not fall. I tried to kill the gunner first, then the driver - the trophy fell out.

I managed to knock it out only using a desert pistol (a toy one, which you get as part of the role-playing game quest) by killing first the gunner and then the driver
