Use tanks...

can you drive them?
How do you bring an entire armoured division into a fight?

Tanks work the same as the car, meaning you can drive them, mount weapons on them, etc.
You can however not control multiple tanks. That would be more something for a real time strategy game.
If you want an entire tank division, you need to get your friends in a multiplayer game.

Cheers...

But how do you 'get in' the tank or car?

Stand next to it and hit Enter. That's the same for every vehicle, also the train.

Tanks are hella fun, but if you want to do some serious damage to alien colonies, you want to get the (max) power armor 2,
load it up with shields and go to town with your flamethrower. Gotta love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Thanks..

Currently I am running substations all the way to a bug hole and them placing maxxed out lasers (about 20 of them) then moving them.
Working on power armour but need the 'bug juice' (alien artifact) for those.

You should use the big electric pole instead for the substations, they have much longer range, and are cheaper
