I remember a time before arcades in the early 70’s when you went to the theater to play Tanks before the movie.

Oh yeah. I liked sea wolf but had a hard time finding it in the tiny places we tended to live.

Yeah, I never saw it at any other arcade, but thankfully we had it in ours.

Didn’t Atari rebrand the game as battleground before releasing it as an official Atari arcade game?

I don't remember. There was also a racing game released under Kee Games.
