I think tanks could be key in base defense. They will generally have the opportunity to catch troops outside, or reenforcements arriving overland.
Also, they could be key in taking out the AMS when it's located.
I'd love to see a roving tank group interdiction force - used to cut off reenforcements to bases that are under attack.
I think the reason you don't see more tanks is not only the coordination it takes for the crew, but also to be really effective, you need coordination on your side - to have them react / interdict where needed, and respond to contact reports from troops.
For that to happen, the whole team needs to know they are around, and communicate. That's the tricky part - good, higher level commanders might be able to help in that area.
