Good Morning,
It was mentioned before by Herman. An old fix for this issue is to cut small squares of plastic and clock the springs so as to drop the ride height of the tank and give some ( more realistic looking as well ) track slack. People used to clock all the springs for maximum slack on the tracks but Hermans idea sounds better. No Baby Carriage Suspension Action needed. HL did fix the issue so Props to them and Props to the OP for keeping an older Tank running!
regards,
Painless
