I wrote down my opinion on this with IWS, I'll paste the HAV parts here for you.
Tanks: As it stands, tanks are a pure AV role. Which in all honesty, should not be the case. In PC, tanks are of little use and an ADS could easily do what they do in the way of AI. That being said, I believe that reintroducing enforcer and Marauder tanks would be a good way to balance this out.
Enforcers
My thought is this, enforcer tanks are the AI variants of tanks. They would have less EHP, a little more speed, and benefits to large turrets to help them assault infantry.
Example: blasters would get lowered dispersion on the Vayu, allowing them to fight infantry more effectively, and make them viable on open maps. Missiles would get more splash so they can catch infantry on them.
As it stands currently, tanks don't have much else to do but fight themselves, shoot ADS and become giant roadblocks. Introduction of an AI tank will add more of a robust vehicle world.
Marauders
My next thought is that marauders should be the AV tanks. They'd have more HP, maybe a little less speed, and benefits that would make them AV titans.
Blasters would get something like increased ROF and lowered heat build up, helping them to tear into a shields hull for faster and longer.
Missiles would get a damage buff and increased total magazine size.
Rails would get reduced heat build up and better cooldown.
That's just my two cents on the issue. Tanks need to have an AI version, along with an AV version.

If that were the case, nobody would use the Enforcers. Again
To be fair, almost no one ever did use them.
Personally, I believe that Marauders should be the AV variant of the tank, while the enforcer should be the AI part.
Tanks need to be able to something more than fight themselves and occasionally shoot at ADS.
