Glorious news for all privates who’ve ever had to haul a Humvee out of a mud-filled ditch
I’ve seen plenty of tanks get stuck but honest to god I don’t ever recall a HMMWV getting stuck. I used to try to get my HMMWV stuck. That thing is geared so low it just walked out of soup up to the hood. Tracks are advantageous when more surface area is needed to spread the weight out, like soft wet ground (mud) or very fine loose (think sand dunes). It will be nice to have the added mobility for certain missions but I don’t see this becoming organic to most units. The vast majority of missions just don’t need these wheels and they look like they’ll break.
