I believe that made an appearance on US tanks in the Pershing M26 with its 90 mm gun in late WWII. I may be mistaken.

So, was that front rubber tired axled steerable and or driven, or where they just effectively casters that followed the half-track inputs?
German WWII half-tracks, turning the steering wheel would initially turn the front wheels, and after a certain point, it would engage a track-steering system like on a tank

Germany sure built a wide array of tracked vehicles during the war. I know some of them shared a common chassis but it’s like they couldn’t stop trying out new configurations for tanks, tank destroyers, assault guns, troop carriers, etc ,rather than standardize on a few.

I suspect in the Desert in Combat, gasoline is as equally important as water, but an enemy round piercing a water tank would not turn one into riding on a 4 wheeled Molotov cocktail.
My turban is off to those soldiers.

Cute, but in a real life or death situation, isn't that artwork a bit like painting a "kick me" on your back?
Notice that there American
