TheWoWDBIn fact, you don't need to focus on the tanks neither the orcs with explosives to get the quest done.
It's more a shout-out to the assault on Helm's Deep than a real danger to your tank.

The tanks can be ignored as they dont really do anything except smoke your screen a bit, tha explosive carts dont do anything bad either, but they spread their bombs around when destroyed speeding up the kill count
How many orcs can that hut fit?

Description
The way I see it, there's two ways to keep this tank from going through the portal: break the tank, or USE the dang tank ta' BLOW UP the dang portal. I can get 'er workin', I just need time. Hop in that turret off the starboard bow and keep 'em off my back.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Taking a Trip to the Top of the Tank
We cannot risk the reactivation of the Dark Portal. Now is the time for the deathblow. Thaelin should have figured out how to get that tank working by now. Take him with you, and turn that tank against the Dark Portal itself. We will follow behind you.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Home Stretch
If they weren't angry before, they sure are now. We won't survive a minute up on top o' this tank! Let's join up with the rest and get out of here!!
