Default Re: Interesting Site: Wheeled vs. Tracked AFV (US

At the risk of being shot by the feuding parties here I'll try to sum the Wheeled VS Tracked argument up.

Wheeled :
Lower fuel use
Higher top speeds
Lower maintenance requirements
Lower off road mobility
Lower basic vehicle cost (ignoring weapons, vision, etc)

Tracked :
Higher fuel use
Lower top speeds
Higher maintenance requirements
Higher off road mobility
Higher basic vehicle cost (ignoring weapons, vision, etc)

Which is "better" ?
Neither.
