Tank visual improvements

[frogger35]

Recently I have been playing with tanks and I've noticed that the tread doesn't rotate forwards and backwards when just spinning in circles(just holding a or d). Is there any way to allow for that to happen?

Looking at the base game graphic files (data\base\graphics\entity\tank) one can see that the tank is rendered as one solid object, i.e. unlike trains the threads are pre-baked. So, making them rotate independently of each other would require a major change to the internals of car (tanks are cars internally) rendering for an effect that most people probably wouldn't notice. So i wouldn't place bets on that happening any time soon.

Though the devs might be able to fake it by just rendering the tracks in slightly different positions for each rotation.
