It is a bit weird that they do nothing but roam the streets.
This would be cool IMO.

Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz. It occurs to me that if the 5th Column were to try to make a comeback, they might want to build some armored vehicles (in addition to the MekMen and Valkyrie robots). Would be sweet to see an invading tank column rolling through the streets of Paragon City, supported by an infantry unit escort.
I think this goes into Vehicle Customization.
What do tanks do right now? They move in a designated line/direction/course. They don't turn when they're not scripted to for their course of design, and so forth. It's sort of like what there aren't robes in the game; they look good on a select few, but if you make it open-ended as to what's being used for what, it looks horrible.
Don't get me wrong! I'd like to fight tanks, and anything else that the Fifth Column would throw at us... But then Moderator 08 would never get any sleep, having to lock every "OMG CAN WE HAZ VEHIKLEZ NAO?!" thread that would spawn of it.

We already have Chasers and Sky Skiffs as I said, and people aren't asking for private jets. I don't see why tanks would cause people to start whining for vehicles any more than they already do.

Sky Skiffs and Chasers work with slightly different mechanics than a car would, I do believe. No wheels to turn, no set direction, etc.
Again, not against the idea at all, just trying to add a bit of insight.

Because they keep trying to use the Motorcycle that the MM Thug pet arrives on as proof that the devs could give us vehicles as travel powers.
I think cars should harm players and knock them down.
I remember playing Omikron:The Nomad Soul and getting hit by a car. It felt life-like.

Yes. Many people do thinking that the motorcycle exists as a power effect of the Brute rather than an emote prop specific to the Brute model.
I agree on Sky Skiff temp power, and tanks that attack.
If it ain't broke set it on fire, then say it was a fault in the design.

Are they going to steal the parts from Sergeant Hatred to build them?
.
If you want to fight tanks, shouldn't this be in the PvP section?
(ok I kid, sure lets take out some tanks, or better yet ride one 
)

I figure those people aren't worth listening to.
You heard me. I see Vanguard tanks rolling around the RWZ, and I'd like to see them blowing up Rikti. A couple of factions already have vehicles- Sky Skiffs, Longbow Chasers, Arachnos Flyers- that it'd be great to let a few more factions have signature vehicles.
I know this would be tricky to implement and balance, given that tanks would be a new kind of enemy skeleton and could probably end up looking weird. But if they can do it, I'd love to see it, because superheroes love smashing up, blowing away and throwing tanks all over the place and doing this in-game would be awesome.
