Tanks do not fight battles without infantry nearby. (Not 2 centuries ago) Its role was to support the infantry, it has the same role today. The 1st tank battle took place in September 1916. The crew needs to be in a fit state to fight, not something that is likely to happen with “Hollywood” style driving.

(watch how many of these tanks are firing from a stopped position or traveling slowly).
