I know this is really late to the game, so to speak, but if anyone is trying to run Panzer Commander in Windows XP and runs into the transparent tank bug, the fix is as follows:

Go into DXDIAG and select the "Display" tab.
Disable DirectDraw Acceleration.

When you are done with Panzer Commander, re-enable DirectDraw Acceleration to avoid conflicts with other games.

I do not know how many people still play this game, but I was kind of surprised to not see this fix anywhere, as old as the game is. I figured I would post this for anyone still wanting to work around this problem. I have not observed it in Windows 7.
