However when you spawn a tank, if you are soloing you are instantly in charge of much more firepower and survivability than on foot. That was always offset by it taking two people, giving a far more balanced level of power over all. Both players were near useless without the other.

Lightnings definitely need a little buff, but this isn't the place for that discussion. The option of locking the turret to a fixed position gives a nice degree of balance to a single person operated tank.
