firstly... complaining about realism in war robots? srsly?

but tanks aren't really designed to be hit by lightning. It probably could damage more complex electronics. But zeus is firing what is apparently a controllable lightning bolt (it isn't just hitting nearby metal), and over an extended period of time. Lightning bolts have this nasty habit of turning the air around them into plasma - and plasma apparently does harm the bots (magnum, taran, trebuchet). This is supported by the bot glowing when hit.
