Well - that is why I like the UK light tanks and armoured cars with the big 15mm BESA - excellent for inf support with the long range, and for biffing up truck-mounted infantry, ATG, and portee ATG. And they have a co-ax for use at shorter range or when out of big BESA rounds.

I plan to have a 2 tank section of the light tanks assigned to each rifle coy HQ as close support tools. Not for recce.
