Tanks (also sometimes called light tanks) are the cheapest of the ground vehicles that are just meant for taking on other ground units. They've got decent movement, fuel, and ammo, and can trade blows with any ground unit besides its heavier cousin and come out ahead. Tanks are excellent counters to APCs in particular, but also do well against vehicles that can't fight back (the ranged and anti-air units). They're really only especially vulnerable to the heaviest attackers in the game, though they can be worn down by a swarm of mechs as well. Assuming the mechs can ever catch up with them.
