Lots of conjecture regarding ''backwards '' tracks on the 3s and 4s.
Probably all from youtube experts? Apparently the Germans fitted them both ways , one way normal , one way to make them last longer but less grip.
More likely scenario , old son track fitter was rooted from constant combat and stress and fitted the heavy pricks any way they were facing?

Yip, no way of controlling field application, but they do have a design factor that should where possible be adhered too.
Imagine once youve busted your ass putting one on only to see it be backwards.............tough shit- it can stay that way until next time eh :haha: :haha:

I've been changing my tracks backward and forward due to seeing videos and photos. However, both run well, so I don't care.

Yeah , not a particularly nice situation to be in.
"Hurry up Fritz and Hanze , change that bloody left hand track back the right way so we can go in and have Shermans with there right way around tracks out maneuverer us". Atchung .
