All very good points, though the M4 was meant as an infantry support tank: as originally planned, under no circumstances was it to get into a gun fight with another tank.
I think that yes, Assualt guns would come back into play: But not as factory made machines prior to the war: I think what would happen is as vehicles are beat up, and damaged beyond repair into the original shape and form, they would be cannibalized into AG's to be given to second echelon units to free up better machines for the first line units.
The remote weapons turret (Such as the MPGS's and others as experimented with over the past decade) mounting a large calibre weapon mounted on a light vehicle (Be a brad version or something else) though is something worth looking at.
