If you read through the O&O for the different BCT they all are relying more and more on aviation assets to take the place of large caliber direct fire weapons in urban and open terrain. Nothing beat the ability the M551 had in Panama City to pop a 152mm HEAT round into the window with a sniper. Gets their attention real fast.
