This was actually ported from the original 1984 VIC-20 version by ATARISOFT. See Atari Age link below. Credits: conversion by Ken Rose of SofTalent, coding assistance by Mark Hemsley, VIC-20 source code typed from paper listing by Kirt Grubbs. https://atariage.com/forums/topic/327873-atari-xe-battlezone-is-a-port-of-the-vic-20-version/

Well, allthough the graphics are good, the gameplay is totally boring for me. First of all the game is extremely slow, the computer enemies are very dumb and most of the time easy to beat. Search for the computer opponent at first, shoot+destroy it, then wait until it re-materializes a few centimeters left or right of the position you just destroyed it. Shoot again... repeat this process and you easily win some levels... I was too bored to play it to the last level...
