    Christie's idea really was an ingenious one.
    The biggest disadvantage of tanks even today is their short service intervals due to to immense amount of wear placed on the tracks and drivetrain. A tank that could skip being moved long distances by a tank hauler could have a huge advantage on the 20th century battlefield. Unfortunately the convertible tread design of the prototypes had severe weight limitations, and neither the tracks nor the road wheels performed optimally on either terrain. Christie's innovations still live on to this day in other forms though.

    Clearly the j walter christie tank. The basis for the Russian BT and T34 tanks.
    The BT even kept the option to convert between tracks and using the wheels without the tracks on the road for the large speeds demonstrated here. They dropped that feature for the T34, probably because Russia didn't have many roads that were good enough.
    Still arguably the fastest tank ever built.

      Ну... Нет, советский танковая школа пошла бы в сторону развития т 28 (не путать с "черепахой" Америки) и т 35... Возможно т 34 был бы, но с другой шасси, так как если не было м 1928/1930 то и комиссары не взяли бы это, так что скорей всего была торсионная подвеска на т 34 либо использовали бы немецкие наработки по шахматному расположения шасси.
      Т 34 появился бы, так как Кошкин был жив (главный конструктор танка т 34).
      Хотя, я вспомнил танк BT-SV так что думаю т 34 возможно имел вид pz так как наклонная Броня в первый рвз появился на BT-SV. Это интересно рассуждения

      @@anaveragesoviettankfromthe70s The BT series were excellent scout/cavalry tanks, they just weren't suited to fighting a defensive war.

      ​@@anaveragesoviettankfromthe70s Well, mostly due to poor logistics, worn down vehicles (some of the tanks still on the roster of tank/mechanised divisions were almost a decade old when the Germans attacked) and generally spread out forces in several echelons,so Germans both overall and exponentially locally outnumbered the Red army (yes, despite the prominent narative,at least until the Moscow counteroffensive, Red army was significantly outnumbered by it's axis opponents,only it managed to fairly effectively replace at least it's manpower losses).BT-2/5/7 tanks weren't certainly suitable for fighting significantly heavier panzers with much better local air and artillery support.

    Barely looks like it would withstand a standard rifle round of the time.

    Tanks are useless if your enemy has Man-pads and mines...
