@michaelcoulter11146 жыл бұрын
Chris C It's a realistic concern for tankers, too loose, and you shed tracks when going off road at speed. If your track is too tight, you're putting a huge stress on the bearings in the entire undercarriage, which will lead to bearing failure, and then the tracks come off, followed shortly by the road wheels, and instead of a tank, you've got a steel pillbox that is entirely too lightly armoured to be a good pillbox. I'm sure anybody with even a smidgen of mechanical aptitude will realize that replacing the tracks on a tank is.........well, it's a BIG job, and you don't want to do it on a battlefield with bullets flying around, yeah?
@davidbriggs2646 жыл бұрын
And those of us who have had to replace them when the tracks fall off understand that tracks NEVER, EVER fall off in nice conditions, it's always in deep sand, or deep mud, and or raining, etc. Replacing tracks was one of the worst jobs I had to do while I was in the Army, but then again I never saw combat (Germany, U.S. Army, 1971-1974)
@michaelcoulter11146 жыл бұрын
David Briggs I never served, but a friend of mine was a tanker in the Canadian Forces, assigned as a driver on a Leopard I, and he told me some horror stories about changing tracks - his worst story concerns trying to put a track on a tank in northern Alberta in the middle of the winter. 😨 It was buried in a swamp, and lost one track, and two road wheels trying to get out of said swamp. They eventually had to bring in two engineer vehicles, and had them tow the tank out of the swamp, and had to then had to do the repairs in the middle of a blizzard. I snowmobile, have had to do repairs on my machine during blizzards, but my sled weighs 400? pounds, and a tank weighs 50 tons, or more. I do not even want to think how nasty that repair was.

1. There are plenty of examples where a better suspension design it still a fail. Usually this is due to that it's over complicated to repair, hidden in behind too many wheels (e.g. on the German tanks) which simply renders it to take too long to repair. It could also be due to that more spare parts are needed which then becomes a logistical problem. So, the short story is: better isn't always better. The key is always to get a damaged tank back in the battle as fast as humanly possible. The Russians did this well where you more or less could repair a T-34 with any tools you could find on a farm. Ze Germanz overdesigned most of their tanks after the Panzer IV.
@deepbludreams6 жыл бұрын
+Bad Trip Where are you getting your sources from? the T34's suspension is notoriously bad Christie suspension takes up internal volume and requires massive tools made specifically to deal with the springs associated with this suspension system, it was far more common practice to just deal with driving on a broken wheel and suspension unit then it was to fix it. Also the boggey system is the easiest to fix, this is why the M4 Sherman series was so loved, you could have the entire side blown off, yet all that holds *the entire suspension unit on* is a few bolts per boggey. you could retrack and respring an entire M4 in a matter of hours. Also we need to be thanking the Germans, we currently use their suspension system in our tanks, the only complicated thing with the Tiger and newer tanks was the interleaved wheels, otherwise it's on a very modern and simple torsion bar system, like the sort you see sticking around today on vehicles like the M1 Abrams and Leopard 2. Even the Russians thought the christie system sucked, hence why the T44 and newer abandoned it in favor of yet again, the german style of suspension.

The logistics of transporting around full or empty Jerry cans however is another story. For emergency in the field refuelling they're wonderful, a strapping young lad could grab a pair of cans in each hand and haul ass across the street to quickly get a vehicle back into action. For small vehicles such as cars, bikes, carriers, hell even half tracks they were good for general storage. But for a tank or truck? Wasteful of space, weight, and capacity. Better to ship whole drums and pump the fuel in then bring them back, or as the allies did at some point send in disposable square thin walled cans (excellent saving of weight and the highest possible capacity of fuel by volume. Then when they're empty just dump them in a pile and burn them to reduce the hazard, why bother shipping them back if you don't have the capacity?
