That makes life difficult. IME the early-game tanks are only useful when recovering UFOs in open terrain, when you can use them as rolling cover. When you're up close and personal on a ship, you are better off with four more shooters, especially since the tank can't get out of the loading bay. If you don't *have* 14 guys to hand, your best bet is to do what you did - bag a sample of what you ran into, and run like buggery.
