How you stop trucks in a stealthy way?

My issue is particularly on the mission where you have to stop the truck escorted by two armored cars in mission 16 (the truck that spawns SKULLs as well to protect it). Is the only way to do it is in the airport before the driver enters it? The part with the SKULLs is ok for me I can handle it.

Will the driver stop and jump out of the truck on each outpost? As soon as combat alert is on he doesn´t stop - I tried pursuing it with the jeep, not a single stop.

It´s really stupid you can´t shoot tires to make it stop. And the glass must be made with a mixture of adamantium because no glass can take so many hits from an assault rifle and not break. FFS

I believe you can make trucks stop; by getting D-Horse to take a dump on the road for example. You can block the road with a vehicle of your own. And there are even non-lethal mines. You have a lot of options.

You can use a decoy. I use to shoot the truck with my assault rifle, for attention, and then tranquilize them as soon as they get out of the vehicle to investigate.

Put on a box. Slide out of it and leave it in the middle of the road. They'll stop to check out the box.

D-Horse is probably the best way. not only does it stop vehicles, they spin out of control when they hit the poop, usually rendering the driver and passengers unconscious and ready for fulton

except you can't have both DD and D-Horse at the same time making D-Horse functionally useless.

The best way is to either wait for them to stop, then fulton the vehicle out while they're still in it, or throw a decoy infront of the car and activate it, then knock them out when they step out of the car.

For that mission i just went prone by the side of the road. The first APC will pass me, and when the truck passes by me it triggers the cutscene. After the cutscene both APC's and the truck will not be occupied. You will also start standing straight up and face to face with the Skulls. What i do is jump into the front APC and just use the gun on them. I jump into the front APC first because its gun has a faster rate of fire than the rear APC. Better to whittle away at all of the skulls health instead of relying on the rear APC's harder hitting and slower reloading gun which if you miss with then you have to wait til it reloads.

a grenade launcher or rocket launcher usually does the trick, no witnesses if everybody is dead.

Why not just run into the truck in jeep or on DHorse Skulls will activate and everyone will get stuned? By the way I tried when its on airport if you think that you can steal it without trigering skulls you cant

nobody has mentioned D-Dog and at any rate it takes all of a minute to parachute him out and send in the horse. yes you loose all the DD detected enemies but all you have to do is spot them w your viewer to permanently keep track of them. at any rate you aren't really going to need D-Dog once the skulls fight happens, he's entirely useless in that fight.

I disliked this mission. Eventually rode straight to the airport on D-Horse and waited in cover for the convoy to arrive. Not caring about an S-grade, I used the cloaking pill to approach the truck unseen, triggering the Skulls’ cutscene. When that was over I still had enough cloak to Fulton the truck without getting attacked. Then I ran for one of the APCs and used its gun on the skulls while running them over when possible. I managed to leave the base in the APC and the mission ended with an A rating once I had either killed them all or exfiltrated, I can’t remember which.

I found this mission to be a tedious grind of a boss fight but if I ever did it again I believe Quiet can nail the Skulls efficiently from cover with an unsuppressed, non-tranq SR.
