Certainly armor is going the way of the battleship. Maybe the Aircraft Carrier as well. Artillery is called the king of battle for a reason (obviously you know this). However look at some major fights against well dig in enemy positions. Hamburger Hill for example. We dropped amazing amounts of fires on those positions. It took infantry to clear them still.
The increasing vulnerability of armour represents a shift toward manoeuvre warfare breaking down at the hands of technological advancements (drones and associated munitions). Improved air defences integrated into combined arms platforms will restore the balance to battlefield mobility.
Both sides are facing this issue in Ukraine and are searching for the tools to break the deadlock/static front lines.
