I don't quite understand the problem if blaster tanks are easily wiped out by other tanks .
Basically he's whining that bullets designed to penetrate another tank's armor can penetrate his precious PRO suits as well.
Militia and ADV suit users don't typically have any problem with tanks because they just blow them up and go on their way, those that RELY on the PRO suits start getting upset when they loose a few, and the largest object on the field that they can conveniently place blame on, which just happens to be tanks and not the ground troops around the tank preventing buddies from getting clear shots and decimating the tank.

Remove anything that can kill infantry.
Replace weappons with styrofoam bats. Problem fixed; no more dead infantry. Yet I suggested introducing plasma Cannons with direct fire like railguns but less range and more splash damage .. and to keep small blaster turrets so Tanks require teamwork to take out infantry just as AV requires teamwork to kill Tanks I really am wasting my time aren't I ..
If you mean by being illogical, then Yes... you are.
A plasma cannon styled tank turret would excel at killing infantry like none other... it would have to have at least 800+ direct damage, and a radius of about 5-7 meters on each explosion, which would probably get around 200-300 or so damage. Plus the range would actually be extended VS a blaster, because the plasma can fire further and strike more reliably. Not to mention, then tanks could hide BEHIND objects and shoot over the top of them to hit you. Plasma weaponry arches when fired. :/
So no, it's not a solution really.
But there is a magical object on the field that people can hide behind, called "cover" that somehow reduces all the damage from tanks, and not only that, this "cover" can prevent tanks from following you, so you can fully determine when and where you encounter a tank.
