I'd also ask for a crocodile flamethrower mount and the mine flails but that's a bit overkill. :^)
A Sherman with a 105mm howitzer, 60 rockets strapped to the roof, a flamethrower, and a spinning drum o' blunt force trauma sticking out from the front...
Not scary enough, you need a loudspeaker to play some music.

A period-accurate phonograph playing a slow, soothing song as death's fury rains hell down upon any unfortunately stupid Nazi bastard too dumb or unlucky to have been caught in the steel treads of such a Sherman beast. :^)

Preferably something like "I've Been Working on the Railroad"...

Nah, I was thinking something more like Vera Lynn. :^)

Plus tanks like the M1 Abrams was made on mistake meaning money wasted down the drain. Even though the y rarely uncounted enemies, they still help assist ground assaults and some tanks for artillery fire at planes and more targets.

It would only take well-placed shot from a tank, artillery piece, or missile launcher to take them down, though the amount of damage they can caused before being destroyed means that they are too useful to not be utilized by a military that has the manpower and resources to replace any destroyed mech. Power armor? This ain't Warhammer 40K. The strongest power armor can only take 2500 joules of force, but what they can replace is machinegun crews, as a crew mounted machinegun can be carried like a rifle by someone in power armor.

In a way the debate around tanks is quite similar to the debate around manned jet fighters. Both are expensive to build and maintain and both have proved quite unnefective in asymetric conflicts. However, a weapon system is only viable or not in relative terms, depending on what you use it for and the doctrine of your army. For fighting another conventional army, you still need tanks. I don't think we have yet reached the point where weapons are so effective powerful and heavily armored vehicles aren't useful anymore.
I mean IFVs and stuff are very effective but they are heavily fragile, one shouldn't overestimate them. They're very useful but they can't be the be all and end all of the battlefield.

Consider any possible modern war.. tanks would be about the least significant thing in deciding it.

Non-nuclear war with Russia against some European Countries and the United States in continental Europe. So far 100% of major land wars in Europe in the last 1000 years have used mounted shock troops or their modern equivalent: tanks, why should that change just because we have fancier planes, we have fancier anti aircraft and tanks as well
