It's a lose lose situation, proper tankers are ruined by the current strength in numbers situation. There's no point in me using proper tank fits, because a bunch of militia rails will kill any tank, sica to gunnlogi.
The current situation (and I do this myself lest the enemy team do it) is to get a bunch of tanks out at the start to get rid of any enemy tanks, a rail then camps the redline to stop any of the opposition calling in tanks or Jihads while anti infantry tanks go to town because AV is not strong enough to eliminate them alone.
It's not fun for anyone.

It's not fun for anyone. Have you tried using madrugar with hardeners and nitrous with large blaster? I've found that this negates the damage abilities of the rail while providing the speed and turret rotation ability to get critical hits from behind their tank. Iv'e also found that if you have a guy watching over you with a rail and calling out targets, you won't get jumped nearly as often. 
If you have another tanker with you, that's just strength in numbers, the outcome is the same regardless of grade of tank.
And using a blaster to attack vehicles is suicide.

As for strength in numbers I can agree with that but the idea would be the same if you had a guy with a mic and a sniper rifle. As for blaster tank suicide, using smart tactics and staying moving while in an engagement has saved me multiple times. So I don't quite think it is suicide. Note the caveats is you can't do it as well against a very well fitted gunlogi but you have to have some incomparable a in a game.
Suicide is an exaggeration, but the same smart tactics are better used with a rail or missiles depending on the tank. They're just more effective. If in a fight of tankers with equal skill the others will always win, specifically because of alpha. They're capable of doing damage even while hardness are up whereas the boasters cannot.
Blasters are just designed for infantry, hence my saying using them specifically for anti tank purposes is suicide. Yes I've roasted tanks with blasters, but only on technicalities like waiting for his hardners, 2v1, ect. You need alpha in a straight up fight.
