The Churchill tracks (since I think this is the kind of track you are referring to) had a tendency to collect snow, ice, and mud, bulge out, and prevent the turret from rotating.

The 107mm Land Battleship version requires multiturret logic to be implemented, but the 152mm version only has the 45mm guns, and without gold ammo they'd be worthless at Tier 6/7 anyway besides being annoying and detracking enemies. It could very easily be like the M3 Lee and the Char B1 where only one weapon is actually implemented, and the rest are just for show.RedShocktrooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933355981690295909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803236411311363895.post-12948436880163571922013-04-04T10:29:02.125+02:002013-04-04T10:29:02.125+02:00What's the deal with the fully covered tracks ...What's the deal with the fully covered tracks running along the whole hull?
