Tug-O-War

[Will]

Warrior Fighting Vehicle VS Case IH Quadtrac

These each weigh 50,000#. I think the steel tracks just grip better on that surface. I can't believe they did this.

I think the tank has a weight advantage. Either way, a win is a win, and a cool one at that. Now, I wonder what they used to hold each machine together. Has to be some massive cable or chain.

It's not a tank. It's an aluminum fighting vehicle, like a Bradley. It's similar in weight to the Quadtrac. That's why I was thinking the tracks on the FV might be better on that surface. Awesome tug-o-war though.

steel tracks vs rubber tracks. I think the fighting vehicle had a HP/weight advatage. But I guess thats what you get when you give up egngine life/hours for battle speed!

I think its mostly a traction advantage. If you watch, the Quad tracks slip every so often, but if you watch the visible FV track, it never slips.

That is absolutely nuts. But what is the difference between a tank and a fighting vehicle?

fighting vehicles carry troops inside and protect them and can mix it up with tanks if the are armed to do it tanks pretty much fight other tanks or fighting vehicals.something like that.
