er projection is ALWAYS shaped by shipping, be it foot, rail or
watercraft.  The US kept making Shermans because "they fit" in the
transports.

Even taking into account futuristic materials, MBTs are likely going to
be used sparingly in a colonial space setting and likely reserved for
homeworld and major colony forces where they can be produced on site.
You may have them available for trans-stellar transport, but this would
be used sparingly as effective MBTs are likely to still pose a supply
issue even if they are fuelled by amazing fusion bottles with
operational lives of a thousand years or whatever.
