Learning Computer

When Kensi needs me to retrieve the Supercomputer that is in S.T.A.G. 's possession, the Deckers beat me to it and I have to shoot out the tires of the truck that is transporting the Learning Computer.
But Pierce keeps on destroying the truck with his laser cannon. And sometimes it seems the truck simply blows up when I cannot see a reason for it. Of course, when the truck is obliterated, the Fail Screen pops up so I don't have time to see whether Pierce blew up an enemy vehicle in close vicinity to the truck we're supposed to stop.
How can I complete this mission?
Is it just a matter of replaying it, until I get lucky? (Man, I hate that.)
Anyway, that's my current problem.

(Searched the Forums using "learning computer" as a keyword, and I found nothing that relates to this issue, so I thought I'd post it).
 
It's a common complain I've seen from multiple people. I played through in coop so there was no worries there. You could try taking a different vehicle, or trying to simply leave Pierce behind so he grabs a different car.

Didn't even know you could leave him behind and that he'd follow on his own -figured I'd get another "You're abandoning a homie" message.
I guess I'd have to take a different vehicle before getting in the tank, or otherwise the problem will remain, i.e. I'll probably won't be able to exit the tank once we're in pursuit.
And coop means that someone else (in coop mode, I get that) controls Pierce? That would definitely eliminate his Artificial Idiocy. The man keeps blasting his damn cannon at every adversary he detects whether the truck is in the line of fire or not.
Guess I'll give it a go when I'm less tired. Thanks for the advice, appreciate it.

EDIT:
The game decided that leaving Pierce behind to get a vehicle of his own was the same as abandoning my teammate, so the timer started that would make me fail the mission if it'd run out. (Darnit!)
Picking up a car on the streets worked like a charm -more or less, I ditched one in the river and had to get another. So I was able to exit the tank at any point during the chase. Shooting out the truck's tires with SMG's was more accurate and allowed me to complete the mission in one try -not counting the "abandoning Pierce" failure.
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!
 
Your coop partner doesn't control Pierce. He can just get in the turret. :)
 
I have no clue why, but when I did it, I just hopped in the vehicle, drove, shot out the tires. Pierce didn't even actually shoot aty anything, I was controlling the laser gun thing myself to shoot out tires, and he didn't really do anything. Heck, I forgot he was there.

Maybe if you use the full set of guns, he can't use them too so he just sits patiently and looks dumb?
