Strv 74 Tracks are too thin and should be wider, (would increase agility potentially)

The Strv 74 appears to currently be modeled with the same track width as the Strv m/42, but historical documentation suggests this is incorrect. According to the Kungl. Arméförvaltningen Tygavdelningen Fordonsbyrån technical manual (Nov 1963), the Strv 74 had a track width of 445 mm and a track center spacing of 1900 mm. More importantly, development documents explicitly state that the Strv 74 was fitted with tracks that were 65 mm wider than those of the Strv m/42, contributing to a ~25% reduction in ground pressure due to the combination of wider tracks and increased track contact length.

This indicates that the Strv 74 should not share identical track dimensions with the Strv m/42. Instead, its in-game (or modeled) track width should be increased by approximately 65 mm to reflect its historical modernization and improved ground pressure characteristics.

Bug report: Strv 74 tracks should be wider

Nvm go a comfirmation that the tracks are 65mm wider than the Strv m/42, So its incorrectly short in-game

Not just the track all the wheels too. Cause the ratio between the belt and the wheels are the same as in the images above but the track is too narrow

Alright, have updated the post based on info recieved from “Mcpuff” among others in the swedish TT server.
