This is why I play Chain of Command by Two Fat Lardies.

That’s what I do myself and for the very same reasons you outlined so well.

Which is why Tank War can sort of work, but moving those same tanks into Bolt-action itself shows the lack of rules to address the disadvantages such vehicles would have during that encounter.

And that is because the rules are not supposed to recreate what happened during WWII but just to give a competitive environment without it being a simulation of sort. This is why I was saying that you could easily play Bolt Action with Space Marines or Giants rather than WWII models and the game would not be significantly different.
And for this reason I was saying that Bolt Action, at the end of the day, is a game and not a wargame like Chain of Command.
Of course people who like a competitive game, where going to tournaments is paramount and winning is mainly dependent on your list building abilities will still love a game like Bolt Action and dislike something like Chain of Command and Warlord is catering to these people.
