So I was playing some Battlefield 1 (shit game by the way, do not recommend) and I noticed that the British tank tracks have these spade/shovel like pieces on the tracks at regular intervals.

I've tried googling and I haven't found anything. Anyone know what they are called and what they do? They don't seem to be in all tanks and clearly in modern tanks you don't see these at all. I've only found some photos of old british landship like tanks with these attachments on the tracks.

Are they to make traversing trenches easier? Are they supposed to offer better traction or more gripping surface? Are they just useless?

Its a type of grouser.
>>
>>32335119
i think it's fun :(
>>
>>32335201
Thanks a lot! that answered my question quickly.
So why are grousers not used anymore in tanks? Or are they and I've never seen it?

>>32335223
I don't like it very much, I prefer 4. The standard issue rifles only game mode is fun though.
>>
>>32335229
Newer tracks and more power have lowed the need for addon grousers on tanks (like the ones you see in your pic) grouser for civ go for bigger grousers 1st so no need for addons
>>
>>32335288
Is there any downside to them aside from maybe increasing the needed space between track and track cover/armor?
>>
>>32335360
No down sides that i know of.
>>
>>32335393
Alright, thanks.
>>
>>32335288
I don't think grousers would work on a tank that had tread guards on the sides either.

That's the right name for them right?

bf1 is sick and you saying that it isnt makes me too butthurt to even read the rest of your post
>>
>>32335229
agreed, standard issue rifles is fun. hardcore isnt bad either if you like camping as much as i do.
>>
>>32335556
What's the standard rifles game mode called? I can only find some shotguns only bs.
>>
>>32335571
im not sure, i have a tough time on xbox browsing servers
>>
>>32335571
Standard Issue Rifles is what it's called, you'll find it under the other/custom game modes browser, next to the regular server browser.
>>
>>32335119
I enjoy the game but i have a few issues with it.
1. way to many experimental guns
2.assault class should have a fucking bolt action option
3. tanks are so fucking op

But that's exactly what BF1 did. While CoD went out into the future and got retarded, BF1 actually did something cool for once. Operations are a breath of fresh air.

Yes indeed, the game is "sick". Sick with swede cuckoldness, a dangerous disease.

Also :

Lurk moar newfag.

That's right, I called you a newfag, because otherwise you'd know he's not a tripfag, he's a namefag. Something equally cancerous but for entirely different reasons.
>>
Operations is fun (reminds me of wolf ET), other modes are trash due to shit map design.

BF1 has some weird ass design choices, but over all it's a decent game. I like it more than 4, hardline, and battlefront. I'd never pay full price for it, but I only paid like 30 bucks during BF.

Sure, it isn't historically accurate, but if you complain about that then you obviously never played a BF game before.
>>
>>32335360
it increases the friction on the surface you're driving on, and will absolutely fuck surfaces like asphalt and that sort of thing, making a high powered heavier vehicle like the Abrams or Bradley even worse for a road.

in WWI is was great because the countryside was a wet, messy wasteland but today tanks mostly travel overland on MSRs and ASRs
