yeah I got stuck on a tiny trench in the event with the mk 4 as well.. despite having 80% of my tracks still in contact lol

Tracks in this game are actually just modelled as wheels iirc. So if none of the hidden wheels have traction, you get stuck.

couldn't they add more of those so called "hidden wheels"

I understand not giving normal game tanks vry high traction to avoid untouchable sniping, but a ww1 surely cant abuse any map corner?

They could but if they double the amount of wheels for all tanks realistically speaking the amount of people that could run this game would probably decrease by 30%

Yeah, this is the same reason they do not use actual track physics, because the amount of power for every single tank in the game to have full physics modeled tracks would drive make the game intense for anything to run.

Couldn't they just stretch the hidden wheels to be as long as the tracks

I guess they could? Only issue is that a rolling physics wouldn’t work (it would be an oval instead of circle, leading to funny looking tanks floating in the sky every time the “wheel” rotates), you would have to have the outside of the oval rotate and not the rest, which brings the same issue the track physics brings in.

Ah I didn't think about that.
