How would a large-scale conflict be fought today? I imagine close air support and other sorts of indirect fire would play a greater role.
Also, should I evade the draft if such a conflict did break out?

Between who? This entire question is so broad that it has no meaningful answer.

No. Where's your sense of duty, anon?

Even if the conflict doesn't go nuclear, the war will be effectively over in a matter of days if not weeks.
Modern weapons are extremely lethal and extremely mobile, but the industry to produce them has very low throughput and very high footprint.
Whichever side that still has it's modern arsenal somewhat intact after first contact will be able to run roughshod over whatever is left of the enemy, and there's just not enough time to mobilize untrained personnel and turn them into an effective fighting force. Even if they could be trained to satisfaction, there's not enough heavy equipment to make them effective in anything more than defending urban areas/be partisans. The war will be effectively over before you even make it to your conscription depot.
Pretty much the way they're being fought now: through proxies and subterfuge. Take some kind of excuse to target a country/region for "counterterrorism" purposes and you get to push your interests and punish your enemies without looking like a warmonger.
Works for USA, Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Russia, etc.
