Maybe tank isn’t the right word, but I swear I’ve seen vehicles with big guns with wheels. Why would you pick one over the other?
In: Engineering
Tanks have tracks. Period.
The weight of a 55 (Russian) to 75 (NATO) ton vehicle (due to the armor required to actually be a tank) just doesn’t mix with wheels.
If it’s got wheels, it’s an armored car or troop carrier – something like a Stryker, Centauro or BTR…. It’s going to be able to drive faster, but won’t be armored enough to take a main-gun hit from a actual tank and survive
