Why don't we use trains on battlefields? (I see no issues with this plan)
You could even wrap the tracks around the train so it can go wherever it wants!
That's just a tank with extra steps
No there are no steps. And even if there were the wraparound tracks would be able to go up them due to their circular nature.
Make a lengthier tank? Like a centipede!!
Cereal is actually a kind of soup.
And tanks are technically a type of train.
A small train that carries its tracks with it wherever it goes?
A better question is whether a self-propelled artillery "train" is a tank.
We used to.
We ironed up the boats too, steam engine warfare was kinda cool ngl
And for the audio afficianado: [Well There‘s Your Problem] Episode 67: Armored Trains #wellTheresYourProblem
For those who like podcasts but want to ensure they get the right format for the podcast, go for the video version. Pure audio is fine and all but you don't get to see the slides or Justin's terrible scribblings overtop of the slides.
This podcast however is one where you can easily have the video playing while you do other things, glancing occasionally when they shift to a new slide or start drawing diagrams on the slides
