Tangos are (besides being the army phonetic for the letter T) "Training Fire Teams".
It could be that the video game is conceived as training... The training "enemies" back when I was in the army training were called Tango Teams.

I am not a game player but I do know that “tango “ American Spanish, possibly of Niger-Congo origin Ibibio tamgu, to dance, is a euphemism for fight so I would assume that the one you are fighting could be called a “tangos”.

Tango is the word used in phonetics to mean the letter T. T as in target.
