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.

Hell, just even close hit will shred antennae's, damage periscopes, knock boresight (gun to lense) out, warp/tear/break tracks, puncture exhaust manifold, external fuel tanks, ammo stored outside, kill personnel, etc.
