Interesting question.

I think not, on the grand scale. Whilst yes, it would vastly outclass other tanks, you’re forgetting about the adaptability and inventiveness of humans. I believe they would find a way to disable it fairly quickly - after all, WW2 was a constant stream of one fighting unit encountering new technology - Allies had nothing like the German Railgun for example, but it had little influence in the outcome. Also, like the Tirpiz, something like this could become a liability. It would become such a target that it would tie up a huge amount of resources protecting it. Modern tanks are still vulnerable in many ways - even from as simple a thing as just digging a hole in the ground and covering it with branches caveman style.

Even something as simple and dumb as “a mine takes out one of the tracks and then you snipe any motherfucker dumb enough to get out and fix it”. Once your tank is immobile, it becomes a pillbox. Your tank can’t now get the fuck out of a situation at 80MPH, so a couple of jackasses with a crowbar and a couple grenades can take your tank out pretty damn easy.

Anti tank warfare has LARGELY not changed since WWII. The tech has gotten better, but the tactics pretty much remain the same.
