Should tank crews be better armed?

And since crews are very inferior in their infantry role (their primary training being as crew). That is as it should be.

A problem I see with arming crews is that while currently a single crew in the OOB is sufficient, as pistol an hand grenades are generic and thus suffice for the 1946-2020 timeframe, an additional weapon would not be. So you would need at least two and possibly more crew units in the OOB. In several OOBs units slots are scarce and better used for something else.
