this allows both of these Entente tanks a vastly superior climbing gradient and obstacle clearance to the A7VĪn overhang is just bad bad news when designing an armored fighting vehicle, and the Germans made that mistake on both the front and the rear making it very possible for the a7v to get stuck in a position that holds the tracks c ompletely off the ground - that was actually impossible to pull off in a Mark VIII tank as it was deliberately designed against, and tough to pull off in a Renault FT as well unless the top heavy nature of that light tank saw it fall on its side. Note the lack of an overhang that allows both of these tanks to get purchase on an object that's in front of them as well as objects underneath the tank. ![]() the losenge shape allows that tank to climb out of depressions, including trenches, it got stuck in.Ĭompare the a7v's ability to unditch itself with its configuration with the British Mark VIII tankĪnd the French Renault light tank is, other than being a little top heavy, just about as versatile at escaping getting ditched. No they couldn't because because British and French tanks were better designed.
