The long answer is yes, simple moving objects have been made that move in a circle around the central Z axis using a method of mesh drawing called DrawInfo, however these objects are always shootthrough and drivethrough, and tanks cannot interact with them in any way - in other words decorative only. The DrawInfo code was never fully documented, but is relatively easy to generate using [[modeltool]]. If you can make an object in wavefront.obj format, you can make drawinfo.
