80s Tank arcade game


Hi,

ok, not a movie question. But hopefully enough action on this board to find some help.

As a kid I played an arcade game when in the restaurant. It was around 1985 - 1988. The game of course could be older.
It was one of these arcade games that were built in tables with glasstop, with two players sitting face-to-face (with some space on the table for drinks of course). Like this:

The game I played was a top-down shooter with tanks. The player controlled the tank. The first level was set in a city/urban setting. It's all I know. When I see the pics I'll remember surely. But nothing I checked and googled matched. It did have quite fine graphics. Surely 8-bit or even 16-bit style (arcade games were technically and graphically way ahead of the home consoles at that time)

It's not:
Tank 1980
Tank 1990
SNKs "TNK III
Tank 1974 by Kee Games/Atari
Tank Battle
Tank Batallion
Tank Force
Blazer


I'd love to find out. Thanks for any help.

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately it's not this one. I'll edit it into my question though.

Possibly Tank Battle... ?

Or Tank Battalion... ?

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately it's none of these. I'll edit it into my question though.

You're welcome. I hope you find it.

Thanks everyone who tried to help. I went through the Wikipedia List (it was a long one) that got posted here and watched many videos on YouTube trying to find the match. But it seems there is no match.

Or probably: My mind remembers it differently and it indeed IS on the list and I can't figure out which one.

Could it have been a helicopter arcade game?
