M. Evan Brooks reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Sadly, Tank has no infantry; both sides are armor heavy. This could well occur in rare instances, but the absence of infantry is sorely missed in what purports to be a simulation of the contemporary battlefield."[1]
Paul Rigby for The Games Machine said that "Tank is an enjoyable simulation which benefits from a great deal of detailed research – the operation of the M1 Abrams is well portrayed, while the option of being able to control 16 tanks is exciting (and exhausting!)."[2]
Steven Anzovin for Compute! said that "If you sigh wistfully for the great tank battles that may never be, Tank is definitely your game."[3]
