- mike-the-mikado 4y agoI believe that tank tracks break frequently and the tank will carry the spare parts required to make a repair.
- bombcar 4y agoAlso if you look at a tank it's basically a shell around the treads - you have to hit it directly on the side or a small opening on the front, both of which may not disable the tread.
- mrguyorama 4y agoWhy do you think tank tracks aren't targeted? Unless you can directly pen/destroy a tank in one shot, in which case why would you not do that, "tracking" a tank is a common tactic to make it combat ineffective.
- edmcnulty101 4y agoThat entire article was about attacking the tank everywhere but the tracks.
- chrisseaton 4y agoThey're relatively easily replaced and repaired.
- mtnGoat 4y agothis just makes the machine immobile it doesn't lessen its lethality. Also those tracks are pretty dang well designed as they have used across both military and industrial applications for a long time now.
- dredmorbius 4y agoThat's a tactic used where immobilising makes a kill attack easier. But you still ultimately want to take out the tank (and crew, and munitions) itself. And that requires defeating the armour.
