If you think about it, the tank is the land-equivalent of the battleship


And the Navy gave up on the battleship quite awhile ago.

Kinda seems like APC's are far more applicable in modern conflicts. Once you have enough armor to stop a .50 cal and IED, anything more than that is overkill. Either you are up against an opponent with anti-armor weapons (in which case no tank is safe) or you aren't (in which case protection against a .50 is all you need).
