Not at all.
There is a place for wheels, notably the HAVW A6 and HAVW A9 Juggernauts so, if there's a place for wheels, there's a place for tracks too I reckon!!

There's also a Grizzly tank to go up against it.  It looks quite like a modern tank except for the minimal hull.  The turret can also be employed as a stationary emplacement.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

An IMPRESSIVE looking tank. Were they any good in the RW?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Nope.  Track length is too short, and that overhanging prow tended to get hung up when crossing trenches.

Yeah, because a walker is so much superior.

It's a series of silly fantasy movies, it doesn't matter that none of the technology actually

That concept sketch puts me in mind of the Galactica Land Ram...
Or the UFO SHADO Mobile.

Only the other day I was pondering taking the legs off an ATAT and sitting it on some tracks.

Not that I have one to do this too.  A thought exercise only.
