Tank steering systems allow a tank, or other continuous track vehicle, to turn. Because the tracks cannot be angled relative to the hull (in any operational design), steering must be accomplished by speeding one track up, slowing the other down (or reversing it), or a combination of both.
The term "tank controls" comes from the steering mechanisms of old tanks, which had to stop completely before turning. [2] The term differs from the controls of literal tank driving games like Battlezone where dual analog sticks are mapped to the treads of the tank which may be moved together or alternately to turn.
Many World War II German military vehicles, initially (starting in the late 1930s) including all vehicles originally designed to be half-tracks and all later tank designs (after the Panzer IV), had slack-track systems, usually driven by a front-located drive sprocket, the track returning along the tops of a design of overlapping and sometimes ...

Differential steering is the primary means of steering tracked vehicles, such as tanks and bulldozers, is also used in certain wheeled vehicles commonly known as skid-steer, and even implemented in some automobiles, where it is called torque vectoring, to augment steering by changing wheel direction relative to the vehicle.
How many "cups" the player has won in Cup Mode affects the speed of the tanks and the power-ups. Each tank has an energy/health bar, and when this is depleted, the game is over for that player. [7] [8] The multi-player Racing Mode lets players race against each other on 6 tracks. There is also a Catch-up mode to help less experienced players. [4]
A common use is in automobile driving video games and simulators, which turn the steering wheel to simulate forces experienced when cornering a real vehicle. Direct-drive wheels , introduced in 2013, are based on servomotors and are the most high-end, for strength and fidelity, type of force feedback racing wheels.
Hi, somewhere I stumbled over a tank that steers by first bending the tracks by shifting the front wheels to one or the other side for slight curves and for sharp curving a brake sets in. But I cannot find which tank right now. Ciao --Pentaclebreaker 08:00, 29 April 2020 (UTC) Light Tank Mk VII Tetrarch for one.
