The are relatively few tank games with the 3-d perspective for the Amiga,
but Heavy Metal is one of them (I haven't played it so I can't say how
good it is.)

Another that comes to mind is Arctic Fox by Electronic Arts.  Its an
older game, but its not too bad.

The one to watch for is Stellar 7 (by Dynamix, makers of Arctic Fox). I
had this game for the C-64 and I think it was the best tank game made
on the 64.  However, I've read a review that they recently re-wrote
it for the IBM and I assume that an Amiga version will pop up sometime.

If you don't mind a 2-d tank game, Fire Power by MicroIllusions is a lot
of fun.
