What Does Tank Turn Mean?
2 Answers
Tank turn, as the name suggests, means that after activation, it mimics the way a tank turns, reducing the turning radius. Below is an introduction to the principle of tank turn: 1. Tank turn refers to turning in place like a tank. The principle involves controlling the tracks on both sides to drive in opposite directions, allowing the tank to pivot around its center as the origin point, achieving an in-place turn. Alternatively, by locking one track and driving the other normally, the tank can turn around the locked track as the pivot point. 2. The introduction of this turning function can significantly reduce the tank's turning radius, improve its maneuverability, further enhance the tank's mobility and flexibility, and increase its survival rate on the battlefield.
I've been into cars for years and am quite familiar with the tank turn feature. Simply put, it allows the vehicle to rotate 360 degrees in place, similar to how a real tank turns. Nowadays, many off-road vehicles like the BYD Yangwang U8 or Jeep Wrangler are equipped with this function. Technically speaking, it's achieved by independently controlling the wheels via differential locks or electric motors, eliminating the hassle of large-radius U-turns. When driving on mountain roads, this feature is super practical, especially for parking in narrow alleys. The meme online originated from the stunning demonstration videos that people filmed for fun. Although it's impressive, don't overuse it to avoid tire wear or loss of control. It's recommended to try it at low speeds in daily use.
