Yeah, ChatGPT thought it was Vanguard Bandits, but then has it's doubts after your follow-up.
It and the other initial guesses:
Medieval world with magitech mecha (ATACs), grid tactics, long-range weapons, anime-style combat cut-ins.
Tactical battles, a more industrial fantasy world, actual tanks appear in some missions, battle cut-ins like Shining Force, and long-range artillery.
Very Shining-Force-style presentation, semi-futuristic military fantasy setting, cut-in battle animations, and some mechanical units—not quite tanks, but close.
Not tanks, but a fantasy-with-machinery world with cannons, airships, and multi-tile artillery attacks.
When I confirmed it wasn't Vanguard Bandits and encouraged it to give me some more ideas:
Given that it's not the first one, it can't identify a clear winner, but suggested:
Fire Emblem, Ring of Red, Valkyria Chronicles.
