how the -blam!- can a tank strafe?

here the quote: SCORPION TANK- There it is, it also is back. It is the exact same thing as
before, except it's main weapon has a faster rate of fire, and cooler
explosion effects. It also moves on an independent axis from it's turret.
Now you can "strafe" so to speak with a tank. Also, it doesn't take any
vehicle damage. I spent 5 minutes shooting it with every weapon, including
another tank and it didn't leave a scratch.

It means you can drive forward with the turret facing to the side. The turret is in essence strafing not the tank.

They mean you can make the body go one way and have the turret pointing in another direction.

what it really means is you control the tank with one control stick and the aimer with the other and in halo two the may make them so they blow up if you hit the fuel tank
