Ground pressure is just one of the equation from several factors for maneuvering into difficult terrain, bear in mind that ALL TANKS WILL SINK in muddy/swampy terrain no matter what value is their ground pressure

In this case traction is more important than ground pressure, lose traction and you lose your ability to move, and the german track were chosen of the ease to change the rubber pads to grouse metal tracks for more traction in soft soil condition, also the tracks proven to be low maintenance blablabla~

The backup wooden logs on typical russian tanks are meant to provide more traction to get the tanks out from the bogs
How it is done is to chain the log to the tracks, example here shown for leo2 tank

Iirc our pendekar was sink slightly on ladang kelapa sawit.  biggrin.gif

Hehe I drive a 4x4 and I can tell you what kypmbangi says is right, no matter what vehicle they will sink to a right degree until their traction can pick up and move the vehicle.

Ground pressure just means how fast/slow you can move under certain soil condition but that also depends on your engine

fyi a typical 4x4 exerts more ground pressure than a tank but I believe tanks are more likely to sink in a mudhole, overall weight also factors in the equation

Hmm, well I'm not sure how is the conditions of the soil during Eksesais rhino.

depends, vehicle are more likely to sink slightly more on top of unprepared/undisturbed grounds cuz their soil compaction is still loose (dirt road soil compaction is very compact due to the regular vehicle usage compacting the soil)

Is the tank sitting on undisturbed ground? that still have shrubs/bushes growing?

Meh, that is nothing

In 4x4 world if you can still see the tyre you're still good to go
