to tackling a 45-degree sandy incline

And my blatant bias for tracks has been reinforced by watching three attempts to get up the sandy incline before finally deflating the tires. But yeah - 70 MPH on the highway.

Just to get back to the issue. The Germans are using tracked Puma for its panzergrenadiers in panzer brigades but the wheeled Boxer for its Jaeger brigades. For them that's a bit like the Abrams/Bradly team in ABCTs and the Stryker in SBCTs.

The Brits, however, are mixing wheeled Boxers with their tanks - like we do with Leos and LAVs. The Brits at least are procuring it as a lightly armed infantry carrier rather than our pseudo-IFV.
