That is why you lead with heavy armor. And also once you clear an area of civilians, you just level it. This battle will not be a PC battle. Buildings are going to be coming down under a rain of heavy bombs and artillary.
Well, I mean we get it as in capture it. I imagine there will be some ugly things we find in underground rooms.
Only if supported by infantry. They can be mech infantry, but the tanks need the support. It's not called a "Combined Arms" team for nothing.
What you really lead with is artillery and tac air. Maybe the odd AC-130 or even and HC-130 with a MOAB or Daisy Cutter, if the terrain and enemy dispositions make that useful.
