"Awesome machine. I am a bit surprised at the lack of side skirting though. A tank with one/no track(s) is a pillbox."

Modern tanks need 4 half-tracks, not 2 full-tracks. Lose 1 half-track due to enemy fire or evasive maneuvers and your tank is still mobile on the remaining 3 half-tracks.

...But lose one full track and you are sitting duck in the middle of a battle.

Modern tanks need 4 half-tracks, EXCELLENT IDEA, south. they could be articulated like the old tucker sno-cat and it would increase road speed (less rotating weight, track stretch) articulation, rough terrain crossing ability, approach and departure angles. 1 and sometimes 2-hit survivability

very interesting idea.
