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

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.

you couldnt turn with one track broken because to either break or turn you need tension and woithout tension you dont have tourque on the one track. theres one wheel on eatch track that delivers the torque from the engine to the track it looks like cogwheel. but if on one side the track is broken and the whole track doesnt have tension, the wheel does turn but can not turn the track - because its broken

But if the the tank's driver hits the break at other side and turn, will that work?
