I suspect that's not what you mean. If it was truly for vanilla Doom, it would only be something like a re-skin of the cyberdemon to replace its sprites and sounds with tank ones (and thereby lose the cyberdemon in favour of the tank).

The next step up would be to do a bit of reworking of the actor being replaced using dehacked.

Perhaps you mean a version done in DECORATE?

Basically, 'vanilla' means it you want it to work in/with doom.exe. Which is possible only as a sprite replacement, as enjay mentioned.

But you want a new actor. That is plainly impossible in vanilla.

A simple enemy that wanders around (chasing the player like normal), fires rockets and perhaps makes a "tank moving" sound as it moves? Or do you want something more complicated than that?

Like Enjay asked, what are you actually looking for, tank assets or code ? Based on what you said so far it sounds like code is what you are interested in. In which case, there really isn't much out there*, there are implementations like Brutal Doom's tanks or BOA's and the likes, but those definitely fall under being too complicated, even the code for the old tank on R667 is fairly complex, despite how basic** it is, so like Enjay said, any implementation of an actor with a turret that is mostly independent of the actor carrying it will basically be complex and difficult to do by default.


* Nor are there that many tank sprites out there, most of them are edits of the Riot Tank from Duke Nukem 3D, including the ones from Iron Snail. The tanks that Freebmane made for my mod are basically the only original ones I have ever even found so far (For now )
** And janky, terse, and broken for that matter, I'll be fixing that at some point.

The amount of sprites isn't a big deal, it's because it uses the extra rotations, if you deleted them all and put in a simple 8 rotation sprite it'd probably still work well enough that it'd be easy to fix after that. But I don't think there is an easier to work with tank than that so far. Unless you want to wait for someone to make an easier one than that.
