Attack helicopters are great for assault and counter-attack, but you still need poor bloody infantry to hold the ground. BLI need fire support only a short telephone call away. Sometimes the best way to provide fire support is to attack a tank troop to an infantry position. The presence of tanks also discourages enemy from leasurely wandering about the battlefield.Also, modern thermal imaging sights greatly improve tankers' view of the battlefield (situational awareness).For example, during the (circa 1990) Oka Crisis, near Montreal, Quebec, Canada the Royal 22 nd Regiment (aka. Van Doos) brought their TOW Under Armour M113s to the perimeter. They had few plans to fire TOW missiles at the Iroquois barricaded in Oka, but found TOW sights were great for observing "Warrior" movements.Eventually, the Van Doos tightened the cordon under Iroquois Warriors surrendered.Part of the reason they called in the Canadian Army was because Iroquois Warriors knew they would be physically beaten by Quebec Provincial Police if they surrendered directly to disgraced police. It was equally important to have a french-language infantry regiment quietly "win" the stand-off.
