The likelyhood of a large scale tank battle taking place in the near future are probably slim barring some sudden shift of the world political climate.
But, tanks and armored cavalry will remain the primary offensive ground weapon of modern armies for some time. A couple hundred tanks rolling at full speed supported by mounted infantry is a difficult thing to stop as long as commanders avoid fixed defenses or urban centers.
A tank isn't well suited for defense or grinding, close quarters battles but no other land based weapons system can so swiftly move into someone elses back yard.
