I caught this bit off Indiegames.com. It's a cutesy little tank game that, despite its cartoonish graphics, has some depth of tank simulators, which piqued my curiosity. From the website:

T-17 Tanky is a game about shooting at distant things. You are a bird that drives a tank. You must kill foreigners who want to take your melons.
But more than that, tanks "can be damaged in various ways: tires and treads can be shot off, engines can be critically damaged, etc." If anything, the theme seems to be treading Lugaru's footsteps without the excessive violence i.e. simulation with a light-hearted theme. In fact, from Indiegames.com: While an actual campaign is still on the way, the game currently offers a custom battle option, which places the player in charge of a squad of tanks from Egalitaria and tasks them with destroying similar squads piloted by the Crats. In addition to standard heavy and light tanks, the player can add truck-mounted flack cannons, rocket artillery units, and even airplanes to the battlefield.
