Tank tracks mechanic?

Instead of wheels it would be cool to have tracks because the wheels are somewhat unreliable for tanks most of the time.

On each wheel, there is a keyboard on the right side of the screen when you click the wheel. if you have wheels on the left side of the vehicle, you can click green, for positive value, or forwards, on the letter A, and red, negative value, or backwards, on B. Do the exact same for every wheel on the left side of the tank, and the exact opposite for every wheel on the right. Then, you can either use a complex controller or control blocks to steer without using the turning wheels which are awful in my opinion. I always use control blocks because they work with ai and the regular manual steering wheel. Take two control blocks, and set one to say "when control received to yaw right" then "complex control key-1" 1 stands for the letter A in the alphabet, B would be 2, etc. So the wheels on the left would go forward, and the wheels on the right backward resulting in you turning right. Take the second control block and say "when control received to yaw left" then "complex control key-2" 2 standing for B of course. This allows for tank style steering when it is not actually true tank tracks, which are not in the game. If it sounded a little confusing, i can help you out in multiplayer designer if you want.

The one downside for FTD are the wheels, my mega IS 3 build are fine until we talk about track or wheels, no grip and they should give them a little suspentions mechanic just to balance out for better grip. i don't mind if its simple just that it works.

Grip is deffently missing.

ya if they make it like a custom track thing, the wheels are pretty small and the tank wont rly stay still with them

You know how in the steam engine thing update on how belts automatically attach to the wheel? Well, if they do update with a track system, aesthetics like that could improve builds.

Ok, I have everything good BUT the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Automated Control Blocks are being stupid as all hell. It doesn't work as intended and the wheels will just move continuosly or just stutter.
