Yeah, that's tough -- you can combat lock for security and give up situational awareness, or stay up in the hatches with situational awareness but increased vulnerability. Covering infantry, as noted, is the solution, provided they're available and you're not getting so much small arms fire that they're suppressed (which, to be fair, would have to be a whole lot if an MBT couldn't snatch back fire superiority -- or the ROE is too restrictive to allow the tank to be effective).
