I know a lone modern fighter jet would make a huge difference but have always wondered about a tank

    No, I don’t think it would:

    • tanks are only good against other tanks in open fields. Inside of cities or against hidden infantry or air attacks they are on a disadvantage.
    • mines or a blown up bridge can easily stop your tank
    • the enemy could actively avoid your tank and shift its forces away from it, so you just move it around without ever engaging in a fight
    • the WW2 battlefield was huge. You cannot hold a position and advance at the same time with just 1 tank, or fight an enemy that is 1000km away from you.
