What is a tank?

Tank jobs refer to roles where an individual or vehicle is responsible for absorbing damage and protecting teammates in combat scenarios, commonly seen in video games like MMORPGs and team-based shooters. The primary purpose of a tank is to draw enemy attention and attacks away from more vulnerable allies, allowing them to perform their roles effectively. Tank jobs require high durability, defensive skills, and often crowd-control abilities to manage threats. In some industries, 'tank operator' or 'tank driver' roles refer to operating armored vehicles, usually in military or industrial settings. The specific responsibilities vary depending on the context, but the core idea remains focused on defense and protection.
