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.
Awesome machine. I am a bit surprised at the lack of side skirting though. A tank with one/no track(s) is a pillbox.
I'm no tank expert, but if I were going to pry it off, it exactly where the wedge would go.
