-Other threats on the battlefield. The vehicles are not in a vacuum. 2 tanks with no gunner = dead meat to any air that happens by.
-Cost. Getting two tanks will be more expensive than 1.
-And frankly, they could do something as simple as up the hitpoints when you add one of the turrets, or perhaps there is an active defense that the gunner can control.

all the tank with the driver/gunner combo has to do is pick his ground,all they need is a few obstacles or small hills to work with and its over for both single-manned tanks ,add in some half-assed air support and the single-manned tank is a death trap
damn, that sounds like a lot of fun
