One tank is worth a lot of technicals in combat - for one just the fact that the crew is under armor and protected much better than a gun truck or technical is worth a lot in combat.
Plus you have the ability to use the weight of the tank for crushing attacks that a technical doesnt have, plus the ability to have a fully armored pillbox when you are low on fuel.
If you want to see the value of even a single tank in combat look at the landings on Tarawa - only a couple of the USMC Shermans in the first day got ashore and survived to fight with the Marines - but their effect in supporting the Marines was very important.
You can see their effect clearly in the Europe modules - one of the reasons Krakow is such a powerful force is the fact that they have operational tanks left in their arsenal.
Even a single operational platoon of tanks has a huge effect on the operational capability of any unit.
