In my opinion, in the future, there will only be a need for a single vehicle. It will have all the capabilties of modern day tanks, apcs, ifvs, and sp artillery rolled into one. It could use an electromagnetic rail gun that has a range of 200km+, meeting anti-tank and artillery needs. It could have missiles to further destroy enemy vehicles. It will also carry infantry and have gun ports in order to destroy enemy infantry, as well as to deploy its own infantry to hold ground. It will also have all terrain capability.

IFVs are like downgraded tanks. Their armor are also weaker.

We haven't seen wheeled tanks, though.
The type 89 also has a variant for launching HJ-8.
Tracks are for heavy duty, while wheels are for economy.

And if you are fighting on a frontline, then wheeled ATGM carriers should be effective. They can run to the battlefield, and then launch standoff missiles.

As for the Arabian car, I don't really like it.

Back or topic and slightly off topic...

Wheeled vehicles with a nuclear bazooka/recoilless rifle (from the 1960s and 1970s):

Not quite an ATGM, but with a nuke who needs to be accurate?

tracks are a cold war/panzer division thing. they don't allow the vehicle to move very fast. wheels seem to be the way of the future.

you cannot move fast with tracks, but at least, you can go anywhere at anytime, tracks can even be use like a propeller for amphibious vehicule,wheels don't allow move on soft sand and snow and are easy to flat.

most wheeled armored vehicles alow the driver to change the tire pressure for better traction on sand, snow,mud ext. and the tires can be filled with a matirial that will fill bullet and fragment holes and the tire pressure will reinflate them to the pressure you were at before
