morbid 0 Posted April 3, 2002 This might already have been mention but I just noticed that tanks seem a tad slippery when you drive them around. It just seems odd that with those tracks a tank can still skid for quite a distance after you try to turn it around at full speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vo0do0 0 Posted May 2, 2002 I was watching some show about the M1A1...It was showing it do an emergency stop and it so it stopped the treads and had to skid ten feet before it stopped, and according to them at least, that's extremely impressive for a tank.

scout 0 Posted May 2, 2002 when a 60 ton tank makes a sudden turn u can bet it'll skip. done not carefully, it can flip also. nothing strange in that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Frag 0 Posted May 2, 2002 While we are on the subject of stuff slipping around, another thing that bugs me is how helicopters always rotate while on the ground with the engine running -- there's nothing you can do about it. Quite annoying... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brass 0 Posted May 3, 2002 you cant expect tank tracks to do everything. plus theyre designed to grip the tank and go forwards/back. if a tank does a 90 degree turn, the tracks will not be able to grip at all, hence the "slipping". plus the ground in OF is uniformly hard, with none of the mud or wet ground effects. quite poo really.
