Tanks have always been vulnerable in urban warfare even before the days of antitank missiles to well placed mines and guns firing at point blank range. Tanks fight best in open country.

There's an interview of a WWII German Tiger tank commander moved from the Steppes of the Eastern Front to the Bocages of France.

He noticed that too. He also saw what air power, in the form of a 500lb aerial bomb does to a Tiger tank when it lands directly on top of one.
