caterpillar tracks have large surface area than wheels. larger the surface area, smaller will be the pressure. Hence tanks and buldozers are fitted with caterpillar tracks
The infantrymen benefited most from tanks. Tanks and Artillery support the infantrymen.
The Germans has 2,928 tanks. Whereas the Soviets had 5,128 tanks.
There are three tanks in a squadron. A squadron is divided into tanks, fighting headquarters, and administrative headquarters. There are five tank troops with three tanks each.

Caterpillar tracks.
The battle tanks have caterpillar tracks instead of tires because the tires cannot manage the weight of the tanks.When area increases pressure decreases .So when caterpillar tracks are used the pressure decreases and the battle tanks can move easily.
The weight of the tank is distributed over a large area, exerting less pressure on the ground. Hence, the army tanks run on tracks.
because the trench was thin and the tracks on the tanks were long the tanks simply rolled over them
Battle tanks use tracks to spread their weight on soft ground. Tanks weigh 40+ tons; If they used wheels they would often get stuck. It's the same reason earth moving equipment (bulldozers) use tracks.
Tanks don't use tyres - they use steel caterpillar tracks.

Tracks on tanks showed up in ww1 to allow them to cross trenches without getting stuck, America was the first to deploy them.
Battle tanks use caterpillar tracks to spread their heavy weight on soft ground. this prevents the sinking of land under the weight of the tank . ( as more the surface area less the pressure .)
Weight distribution. Tracks - caterpillar and band tracks both - spread the weight over a much broader area, reducing ground pressure. Were they on tires, tanks would have much greater ground pressure, and would be much more prone to sinking into the ground.
The machinegun and barbed wire were causing a stale-mate in WWI; tanks (being bullet proof and having tracks instead of wheels) were able to break that stale-mate.
