You can have a very heavy tank like a Tiger or Abrams but if you have a large track area and the multiple road wheels to even out the pressure on the track then you can actually have less effect on a road than a lighter tank that may not have as much track area. The Tigers look like they have very big track areas so might have low ground pressures. Of course it doesn't matter how low your ground pressure is if you drive out onto a bridge that can't take the gross weight it is going to fall under you.
Very true, but the Kingtiger literally churned up roads everywhere it went. And it had less ground pressure than this beast.
And roads are a lot more common than bridges.
“Close” only counts with horseshoes, hand grenades, and tactical nuclear weapons.
That which does not kill me has made a grave tactical error
I am not very active on the forums anymore, but work is still being done on my AUs. Visit the Salidan Altiverse Page on the SB Wiki for more information. All current work is being done on Google Docs.
If anyone wishes for their nations to interact with the countries of the Salidan Altiverse, please send me a PM, after which we can further discuss through email.
