TheWoWDBI had trouble completing the part "Commandeer the Assault Tank". Everything I did didn't seem to work. Driving it, killing mobs with it, nothing seemed to get me quest credit. I dropped the quest, picked it back up, and then double clicked on a spider tank which then gave me credit. Seems that double clicking on it and jumping into it before it reached max size worked for me.

It worked when I didn't wait for the bot to be completely de-shrunk. Klick it and immediately jump into it before it reaches max size.
Can confirm; clearly it's a glitch, but drop and accept the quest again if needed. Click to "de-shrink" the tank, and click again before it's done and you're set. I hope they fix this soon for posterity's sake.

Description
We need to give Tinkerbow some cover while she figures out our new trajectory. <The Cog Captain hands you a miniature spider tank.> It may not look like much, but this is a fully functional spider tank. You'll just need to de-shrinkify it. Use it to distract the troggs down below by thinning their numbers.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

It looks like the signal is being transmitted from Storm Peaks. Time to put these flying machines to work! I'll keep tracking the signal en route in order to get a cleaner read.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Operation: Troggageddon
Tinkerbow has finished installing the guns on our flying machines, so it's time to give them a trial by fire. We've got confirmation that our target is in fact within the Halls of Stone. Let's start clearing out the forces out in front.
