As long as there is infantry to support and the need for mobile heavy weapons, I want some tanks around.

We may see a shift to robots with missiles and machine guns (cheaper than a tank) as expendable units to put in front.

The GI Joe PAC-RATs come to mind from the 80s series.

I’m all for remote control armor and robot platforms with some kind of failsafe.

Being trapped in a burning tank is nearly impossible for me to imagine. I wouldn’t wish that on armor crews but a few human ran types will probably be around.
