Oh I agree with you how vulnerable a tank is without infantry support - every battle tanks have ever been in has proven that - but if you have that support a tank is a game changer
for those who have done multiple campaigns a tank can be a pain but also invaluable as well - especially since anti-armor weapons by 2000 have becomes rare in many places - and getting the spare parts, lubrication, parts to convert it to alchohol, etc.. would be a great mini-campaign all by itself to have a team of guys be able to get a museum piece going (including the fun finding ammo for it or finding someone who can take practice ammo and real rounds for it)
and the canon even has the occasional restoration vehicle to be found in it - the APC sitting in the garage restored and ready to go except for a MG and a battery to finish it in Grenada comes to mind immediately
and they took working howitzers as well - again something that would make a PC groups life very interesting to either run into one in the hands of the enemy -or finding one sitting in a garage or barn, its owner dead from a heart attack when EMP took out his pacemaker
