I'm sure it's been said before, but one person CAN solo a tank quite easily. RE's are, after all, the leading cause of tank deaths coupled with scouts.  As long as that tank doesn't have infantry support, said tanker is essentially a sitting duck, and the second he starts firing at your team mates, you shove 3 RE's up his tailpipe and tank go boom boom boom.
On a side note, I don't think militia tanks should be debuffed, they just need the price raised. A proto suit isn't invincible to a militia suit, even though the person in the proto suit put a lot of SP into that suit. The person in the militia suit just needs to use tactics to kill the proto, it's the same with tanks. My militia tank will get ripped apart by anyone who put points into their tanks in a straight up fight, but if I flank around and come up behind them while their hardeners are on cooldown, I can usually kill them before they know what's up, no matter what kind of tank they're using. It's the same with dropsuits and aside from pricing, there's nothing that really needs to be changed. Militia tanks were a joke before 1.7, not even a threat and something a few AV grenades could tear apart, now they're a relative threat if the pilot is good, just as militia suits can be a threat if the player is good.
Sometimes I miss never seeing tanks in a battle... then I remember the mystical flying soma, and I can't help but smile.

Now the deal with double hardeners, redline railing, and speed of each tanks needs to be looked at or fixed. Honestly I believe tanks are in a solid place if those above issues are fixed, I think It would create a balanced playing field if used/countered wisely.
Should AV be able to Solo tanks? If you're smart and play tactically, then of course. Its not that the AV itself is to blame, its how people utilize it
Hey, I remember you...  Those Jihad LAV's were fun. Also, could you tone down the pwning of my blueberries? You're scaring the poor little guys! 
Also, agreed. Triple hardened Gunlogis can keep their hardeners on indefinitely I believe, though the current state of them is still probably a step down from what it used to be in terms of armor hardeners.
