Wasn't sure whether to put in Postwar or not, but it's an interesting article about the technology in relation to modern stuff; and it does come up in relation to our period's tech, often when looking at Halftracks. Rubber tracks certainly a WW2 thing, from Weasel to US HTs. (Expensive business from what current owners tell me.) Page 20. Land Warfare International - Shared Publication
Experiments with rubber tracks began in 1918 and the French Kegresse rubber track system emerged in the early 20s. Some Renault FTs were fitted with it. The British Light Infantry Tank of 1921 also employed Snake Tracks which consisted of metal plates on a rubber backbone
I thought this was an interesting article. The lay person like myself always assume once you have a tracked vehicle, it can go any where any time Tank Track Ground Pressure Examples included is List of Famous Tanks and Their Track Characteristics Tank Track Ground Pressure Examples
Funny. Mr Hawkes published this today: Tanknology - Primer: CTIS & tyre choice Said he's going to be looking at how close wheeled can get to tracked soon: https://twitter.com/JonHawkes275/status/1500747079307739137?s=20&t=CjG3-wUImqCWyft-ikyf8Q
Incidentally the cross-country / off-road capability of wheeled armour / wheeled armoured personnel carrier is a "hot" topic within those who watch the British Army. It has become an even more of an issue after the apparent failure with the £3billion wasted on the Ajax APC family, due to replace the now quite old APC in use - the Warrior, the chassis being the FV342. See: General Dynamics Ajax - Wikipedia and FV432 - Wikipedia
Technical stuff on Central Tyre Inflation Systems (CTIS) are a way to level up wheeled AFVs and significantly increase their mobility. From: https://www.tanknology.co.uk/post/primer-ctis-tyres
