Why do we still use tracks? Aren't they hugely outdated? It's basically ww1 era

Nah wheels are outdated, they're also a meme.

>>29766292
Helms are bronze age tech and we still use them. Old does not meant outdated, and recent tech can be obsolete as well.

Because we haven't figured out how to make hover tanks yet, and you can't run over cars with a hover tank.
Now post more sexy Chaffees, faggot.

I'm sure you think a master assassin can take on a whole platoon with a sword :^)

Hovercraft tanks.

>>29766795
a master assassin probably uses a suppressed .22 pistol. also probably a suppressed .308 or .223 depending on range.

A real master assassin doesn't need to kill.
He just needs to hold everyone up and tell them to get down.

>le pistol assassination maymay
The sound of bullets striking flesh and bone is quite loud even if you manage to get the report of the firearm quieter than the action

>not lowkey throwing targets at least 70 feet onto a hard surface cia style
>not employing a tactical ice pick
>not using weaponized lsd and carfentanyl

>>29766889
meh, i'v shot a deer at point blank range with a .22 pistol and it wasn't all that loud. suppressed. sounded kind of like if someone dropped a rock on concrete, but still, no louder than say a balloon popping and if you use a singleshot pistol, it's even quieter. i could kill someone in an alleyway without raising suspicion or in an empty bathroom.

Tracks decrease ground pressure and are generally better off road. They are more labor intensive, require longer logistics trains, need specialized recovery vehicles, and tear up roads (yes, YOUR tank will get across the road but if the road gets torn up in theater the trucks coming later will have a shit time)

Wheels are less labor intensive to maintain and repair, require a shorter logistics train, a wheeled vehicle can be recovered by another truck towing it, and are less destructive and more efficient on roads. They are generally less effective offroad.

There are trade offs for each type. A smaller number of specialized "tip of the spear" tracked vehicles like tanks and Bradleys that can push into enemy territory regardless of conditions backed up by a larger number of wheeled vehicles carrying supplies and infantry is generally the most logistically supportable scenario.
