You know why this is happening right?
When Tanks actually worked on the field : AV maniacs demand more damage, because tanks could actually get kills.
Now that Tanks don't work on the field: AV maniacs demand the tanks be forced from the redline because they want to blow them up, calling them lazy and cowardly.
When tanks didn't appear on the field at all: AV maniacs cried that there was nothing to shoot, since they've specialized in AV.
The above is just historical tidbits. The crazed AV users can be relied upon again and again to just whine out their ass stating "OP" whenever they see a tank getting more than 5 kills in a match, but they will ignore any dropsuit that can get 20+ kills a match.
There are very few decent AV players who know balance. All of them happen to also drive Tanks or Dropships. :/

You left out one little piece of history: tanks were going 30/0 every freakin' match. Or maybe you just assume that's the way things should be?
So, how long ago was this?
Never recall seeing such a thing. I've been here about... 3? years now, and I've never had a time where I couldn't destroy a tank with an AV suit.
I remember there was a time when tanks had moderate defense, but no one really had Proto AV yet. Lots of people were complaining about tanks because NOBODY would try to fight the tanks. I had basic Swarms and had no problems (that's right, not even ADV rank). After that time happened, the tanks were swapped out and given the current name sets we use here. The developers knew what kind of thing they were doing, because this psychological renaming trickery worked, and worked well.
It's basically like a toddler looking up at a teenager and thinking how "op" the teenager seems, but then later after they've grown up, they keep expressing fears of that person relative to their toddler years, even though they've gone off to an office job and the "op" individual is still working at a gas station...
It's the same things with tanks, that I've seen quite often here. People were unprepared, there were hardly anyone with AV skill sets back then. Of course there were all kinds of exaggerations that they would pull from this "legacy" era.
Now, there are a lot more people with skills in AV, that a tank can be downed within 5 minutes of it being spotted on the field.
Back then, you had to plan an attack on a tank. Get it when it rounded a certain corner etc, and you could solo them. Now.... well you can solo one by standing in the middle of a field and spamming your attack, while running straight at them, and this is known to have a reasonable chance of destroying them.
Thinking back... the only time that tanks were absurd was when triple rep systems were clearly in need of reduction. In that instance, I could not kill a tank with my own AV setup (well, aside from remotes, but I mean handhelds like swarm and forge).
