I got used to them quickly since I already played Rock n Roll Racing and Biker Mice from Mars on the SNES

What are some games with "real" tank controls, i.e. two sticks that control the treads of each side separately?
I know Battlezone did and the Katamari Damacy games. But there must be more, especially tank simulators?

A friend of mine pointed out all FPS games operate on tank controls.

Nobody has an issue with tank controls, they have an issue with static cameras. They are just too stupid to realize what they are struggling with.

Tank controls don't let you walk sideways (aka strafe).

Tank controls means you have an input to rotate your character, an input to move forward, and an input to move backwards.

FPS is just tank controls with other features and first person camera.

Based isometric racers.

If your game does not use static camera angles, there is literally no reason to have tank controls unless you're literally controlling a tank or something similar.
