On a slightly more macabre note it should be realised that the reason many tank drivers/crewmen carried sidearms with them had nothing to do with shooting at the enemy
Zappi is pretty much right on that. The germans, British, etc. did not have weapons small enough to fit into a tank (pistols and grenades only) except the americans which have the "Grease Gun" a small cheap and a good Smg.

A: Stay with tank? And defend it..
B: Go back and possible get it towed? (if you would be the only tank there? dont happen often i guess, so other crews ought to report your position and status.)
C: Join the Infantry who you are close to, and fight of a possible attack?
D: Panic and run!
I belive all alternatives is possible and more.
As for Swede Tank training (WW2), they would dismount a Coax MG (done in no time), and with that take a defencive possition and defend the tank. (this is doctrine). So a surviving tank crew, would be much like a Swed MG team, 1 SMG, 3 Pistols and a 8mm MMG...
If the tank is burning, no tank to defend ofcose, and no MG will be removed ofcose...

and found this site to thier liking. I hope you had time to check out some
of the great Close Combat mods and our forums. I'd also like to thank
