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
Tracks are good for rough terrain as they get traction without slipping as wheels are prone to do. However, they require much higher maintenance and are not as efficient for long distances. Thus you might see wheels and a large caliber gun on a vehicle designed for transporting troops in hostile terrain more than short distances.
