Rules:
1. No mechs. This means no legged vehicles, or any sort of vehicles that rely on legs for movement, even if designed to fulfill the same role as tanks. This includes hybrids like Ghost in the Shell think-tanks and Tachikomas. If you're looking for a thread about mechs, head here.
2. Hovertanks, heavy tanks, light tanks, and other vehicles that fulfill the role of a tank, but not necessarily a modern main battle tank, are allowed.
3. Please be reasonably civil to each other. Discussion is welcome, flame wars are not.
