Well old friend the Mekavas and Nammers are tracked vehicles. This a wheeled vehicle. Heavy wheeled vehicles tend to be limited to roads or solid surfaces and at 35 tons it will be less seen offroad and more on road. this is what I mean by less tactically mobile.

In traditional yes. However lately a lot of 8x8 APC and IFV have come in the 30-35 ton weight class the USMC ACV BAE offering is 34 tons with payload and that has and is under testing across Desert, Rocky, forest and even Amphibious environments. the technology has evolved a lot in the last few years this is because of newer suspension technologies.

True .. Maybe I should've worded it differently...should've said fighting environments instead of terrain which includes urban warfare...so yes roads. Other reasons remain the same.
