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
They serve different purposes.
Wheels are better for some things like speed and maneuverability. They’re also lighter and simpler to maintain, and therefore less expensive.
Tracks are better for weight distribution (spreading the weight of the vehicle out) and rough terrain, but they’re heavy and expensive and can’t run as fast as wheels.
