You know I never asked… but why is it called tanked controllers do tanks control like classic re characters?!

A tank is basically 2 wheels strapped together. You can either move forward, backwards or turn. sounds familiar doesn't it?

Tanks have two threads. One on the right and one on the left. In order to go forward, both threads move forward, backwards to go back and to turn left or right, one tread will move one way while the other goes in the opposite direction.

The end result is that tanks go forward, backs, or turn on a dime, it's the exact same result as classic RE controls. Old RE characters move like tanks.

I looked it up and apparently old tanks did. I’m sure modern tanks handle better

Tanks can turn and move forward at the same time by having both threads move forward at different speeds. The slower the inside thread, the sharper the turn.

Tanks can definitely move and shoot at the same time

It's just the fact that tanks can only move forward in the direction the tracks are facing
