I don’t know jack about real-world tank design and specifications, and
haven’t given much thought to potential powersuit concepts, but this
has been a very cool discussion to read all day.

I agree!

I certainly see a place for tanks in the future, as they’ve proven
their worth in wars since their creation. When hover technology is
improved in the future, I’m not sure we’ll see tanks floating above the
ground, since I imagine the recoil of weaponry would send them flying
backwards for some distance. Maybe there’s some kind of braking involved
for hover vehicles?

Either that or they’d use recoilless weapons (venting exhaust gasses from
projectile weapons, or energy weapons of some sort, or whatever)
However I think there’s still the billiard ball effect. When struck with a
projectile, they would tend to move more than something anchored. Unless, as you
suggest, there was a braking device of some sort.
