A car on his side has more contact area :P But I dont think you’ll break fast anyway then…

And quite a nice video.

…and the military had to pay for the costs involved in extracting the truck drivers fingernails from the steering wheel…

..and some “commercial cleaning” costs…

How it would look like if the tank didn’t have rubber pads? Skidding over the tarmac? Sinking into the road due the weight and clogged tracks? Tipping over the nose (probably damaging the gun)?

Keanel, you know that Pneumatic means it uses Air, and Air can be compressed, while Hydraulic (that is used on cars) uses Oil that is nearly uncompressable. Hydraulic > Pneumatic if it comes to immediate pressure generation.

The reason is, you have breaks on all or most roadwheels (7 per side on this one if i count correctly, bad video quality) vs 4 brakes on a car.
and then the area of roadcontact comes into play, there is nothing that has a higher contact area then a track.
