    Nowt to do with blender. Its JBeam dependant. Answer is apparently no until we have slidenodes.

    You could make a fully functioning tank chassis with a rotating turret; it'd just have to have wheels instead of treads. I can't think of a role slidenodes would play except in maybe having a recoiling barrel.

    What's the fun in a tank if it doesn't have treads?

    I agree. Like the ones in Battlefield 3 I think they'd be amazing

    Some early tanks had "road wheels", the tracks could be removed and the tank would still be drivable, this was for high speed on road travel. Tanks like the BT-2 had this option:

    That's not how I remembered the GTA III tank. It's absolutely hideous :O

    And the treads are able to burst. Not sure how, but they can, according to GTA V.

    I might be up for the challenge of modeling a basic APC (It's an Armored Personnel Carrier, not a "wheeled tank") for Drive, however I am not personally up to doing JBeam work, and don't generally work with game engine textures.
    What I would need, however, would be a properly scaled blueprint, preferably something with correctly scaled side and front views in either a high resolution or a vector image.
    If anyone can find me a desirable APC and a blueprint to work from, I would be willing to give it a shot, and make any resulting model available to community modders who could create its JBeam or texture it to get it ingame.
