Just one of the reasons why armor batallions were miffed they're no longer the toughest thing on the battlefield ...
Hey Bronze! That big enough for ya yet, ya freak? ;D

"THE TRUTH IS THAT YOU HAVE SQUASHED AN EXPENSIVE PIECE OF ARMY ISSUE EQUIPMENT. THAT TANK IS COMING OUT OF YOUR PAY. AND YOU WILL REMAIN IN THIS FOX'S ARMY UNTIL YOU ARE FIVE HUNDRED AND TEN YEARS OLD, WHICH IS THE NUMBER OF YEARS IT WILL TAKE FOR YOU TO PAY FOR A M415 ARMOURED GUN MOTOR CARRIAGE YOU HAVE SQUASHED."
I can literally hear the thoughts of some tank commander/driver there. "Out of the way you overgrown walking rug" or somethign similar insulting.
You do get pissy when you get shoved from a high up place by somethign you don't have the chance competing with in the first place.... Then again, i bet those tanks would still cause some damage on such big targets. Depending on their armor of course.

I'd have my doubts about dodging shots there, they are big and need entire mountains to hide for cover (even if they reach them quickly) but it's still comparible to dodgign small caliber bullets like the .22 IRl. With the exceptions that these here can either be high explosive rounds or armor piercing rounds that should deal a good load of damage to flesh, so that's where the giants armor would come into play.
Then there is the whole aspect of hiding and "close combat" since a giant that since might not be able to crush the tanks (every tried to stomp a metal matchbox car? We can't even stomp lego pieces....) But they could easily flip or kick them over.
I think the biggest power inbalance aren't with the tanks however, but two totally different ends of the power spectrum. For one, good ol infantry. Ever tried wagign war against ants with an assault rifle and knife? Have fun, these ones can even shoot you, even if they would need special equipment for that. But you know, god loves the infantry. [That saying always stays true in some depressing way)
And then there is ballistic missiles... Yeah, they are more dodgable, but even fast fighters still have issues getting rid of them without counter messure systems, so it's like dodging a fly i'd guess. With the difference that when it touches you, it explodes. Again, armor... But i doubt a direct hit of a nuke is anything even those giants could just power through....
Ironically the field i see the giant sthe most sought after would be.... Logistics. Imagine the speed and easy they could transport unspeakable amounts of resources from A to B without breaking a sweat.... Need a tank regiment somewhere else? They just carry them over. Done. Only point where it gets try again is if you go accross an ocean.... And now im starting to think of the logistical nightmare of supplying those giants with food and equipment....
I looked down a deep hole here now...
