Can we do something about the "sniper" tankers?

If you lose when you have a tanker going +50, who is really losing? You or the tanker?

Everyone on our side of the team?

the tanker in question had 50 kills, and is not helping the team?

Let’s open the Wikipedia and look up why tanks were designed in the first place. We don’t even have to read beyond first sentence:
“The development of tanks in World War I was a response to the stalemate that had developed on the Western Front.”
Stalemate, anyone?
I know it’s a game and there’s about 75% of joke in what I wrote, but still - you get the idea. Presence of the tank is sometimes more important than kills it gets, and if it’s a multi-seater it acts as a mobile spawn point as well. Guy in question obviously was there for the kills only.

To add an insult to injury, the intro for the attacking french side for Soissons says a few lines about how well fortified/entrenched the defending German side is and how the new big wonder that are tanks can finally finally break through these defenses… only most of these tanks are farming kills behind the hill…
A team of many enough decent assaults defending is already hard enough to attack without any tanks not being where they need to be
