Ah, Snippy, you are a woman after my own heart.

I think there is a place for a well armored flamethrower tank in modern urban combat. Combined with a 10" squash head projectile from a low pressure gun, perhaps on another vehicle, able to deal with thick concrete out to three hundred yards or so. Say, a three hundred pound projectile. A bit like a 10" mortar on a gun carriage.

I agree, generally urban combat became very important. Israelis built some strange vehicles well prepared for urban combat using captured T-54's and T-55's. Russians did something similar and built BTR-T, also new German IFV will be good in urban battles. they should be equipped in flamethrowers, 40 mm grenade launchers etc.

Not much around that's be better for clearing out a nest of terrorists. They worked pretty well at clearing out Japanese troops hiding in caves in WWII.
