A little idea for the tank tracks

[PDS001Sniper]

I think the tank track broke down ONE SIDE and the tank should be able to
move 360 degree at the same place.

Because this can make the game more realistic, just like WW2

At other point, it may improve the self-propelled gun's survival chance.

Was that possible? I'd think that if they did that it would mess up the broken tracks even more.

[PDS001Sniper]

why not? if you want the tank completly stop, you can just shoot both tracks down.

I don't think that actually works in real life. You're not pivoting on a small axis so it's really not that simple. One track goes, the whole tank goes.

actually you coudnt because you need the other track to counter steer. for example if the left track broke and you wanted to turn right your right track would turn correctly but you wouldnt have grip on your left one because theres no tension. you would simply roll off your left track.
but if you were on a street street with pavement you probably could even drive straight a few meters because you can still roll on your support wheels but you couldnt really turn.

depends on what tank you where driving.
Most allied tanks didn't had neutral steering. (IICR some do had it, like the churchill tanks and fur sure the CharB had it). so most of them braked on one track to steer left/right.

the later german series, Tiger and panther series, all had neutral steering. This men very fast turning in place.
of course, you still could use the 'braking' technique'.

Technically, with one track brocken, you can still turn the tank.
