> What does a vulnerable tank do that self-propelled artillery doesn't do better?
Being able to directly support infantry and their IFV/APC on the frontline?

I wonder if the new "tank" will be a wheeled SPG that can fire hull down and has an APS system. Or it could be something like BTR 4 with its auto cannon, being able to carry some infantry, add APS to that and you have a lethal combo.
There is also a lot of overselling of infantry support. Stugna or Javelin can kill T80 from 4km away, what use is dismounted infantryman there?
Well they can carry their own Stugna or Javelin. Isn't that an argument for more dismounted infantry, not less?
