I agree getting a vehicle going roughly is not that hard but controling it at a level that means you survive combat is a diffrent story.
Drive a car for the first time down an empty road is easily do able if you dont stall it. Now do it after 10 mins practice in a town centre & dont hit anything.
When I was 16 drove dozers & unlike a car takes practice to turn smoothly & put minimum strain on the vehicle.
4 Gears fwd & rvs pre selector box.
Push down & select 1st or 2nd for that track to drive fwd the other reverse
2 throttles & 2 brakes 1 for each track
Then theres the blade controls.

To start with you turn jerkily using mainly the brake & chewing up the ground then you become smooth & can do most turning by regulating the throttles for all but the tightest turns. You are now far more maneuverable & can turn at higher speeds, well for a dozer.

Actually its not unlike a car thinking about it when I first drove a car would be correcting throughout a bend rather than just steering smoothly through it.

The point is yes you might get it down the road or across that field but you are not being kind to the machinery & when you start getting fired at if driving it is not second nature are you going to see tommorow. You have just thought stop put in reverse but the skilled guy is long gone, he did not think at all he reacted primal brain & instinct the self preservation bit did it for him. Thats the level you need on the battlefield or that helps you avoid that crash by driving your car through a small gap at speed. You didnt know you could that but if its second nature sure you can.
