They're putting the other tanks transmission and engine through hell with that

You can't put a tank in neutral?

[–] icedterminal@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

No. It's not neutral like a car. The transmission is still engaged, thus cranking the pistons up and down in the engine. With no oil flow from the systems, it's not very friendly to the metal bits inside. Lol

That's not what I meant.

From what I know the T-series tanks are underpowered and dragging along another tank with the same weight puts a serious strain on the engine.

I might be wrong though.
