Yes. Field Artillery were used at long range and smaller artillery pieces were used for close range by the infantry.
there were many tanks in WW2, mostly medium tanks, but during ww2 heavy tanks were also popularized, we dont use those today mainly main battle tanks[mbt's] the main tank of the Soviet Union was the 76.2mm t-34 medium tank, for the U.s. the m4 sherman, and for the germans the Panzerkampfwagen IV, Panzerkampfwagen V panther, Panzerkampfwagen VI ausfhrung e & b [Tiger I & Tiger II] and tanks are armored fighting vehicles with main cannons and turrets, and the general rule is no small arms fire can penetrate it[ which by so far every tank has followed, although some go as low as they can right on the line.]
There are a few tigers in Europe, and at least 2 working tiger tanks in America. May I suggest to try to type in restored Tiger tanks in Google? Videos of the tank in action will come up.

There was only one Tiger 1 tank battalion that saw action in the Battle of the Bulge. These were the Tiger 1s from Schwere Panzer Abteilung (Funklenk) 301. This battalion was originally created to operate remote controlled B-IV demolition tanks (a 3.5 ton low profile tracked bomb that carried a 450 kg explosive warhead) However this unit functioned as a normal Tiger tank battalion in the Ardennes. On December 16th, 1944 this unit had 27 Tiger 1s with 14 being operational while the others were being repaired or were in transit. They began the battle attached to the 319th Panzer Kompany in the 6th Panzer Army but were transfered into the 9th SS Panzer Division on December 20th, 1944 and remain there for the remainder of the campaign. At least one Tiger 1 from this battalion was knocked out near Oberwampach during the withdrawal stage of the battle. Information source: Battle of the Bulge (new edition) by Danny S. Parker
