This would not work, because the driver wheel is usually up off the ground. Without treads a tank goes nowhere. It is also too heavy to go freewheeling down a hill. The wheels would sink into the soil first. Even as a cartoon, this makes no sense.

That was the problem in GuP common sense doesnt applied or as if the author didnt give a fk about realistism in favor of action.

The BT-series actually could drive without a track, intended to reduce wear on the track on long road marches.
Then again that was a about 30 minute conversion job so its unlikely they could've done that in battle. Still would sink into the ground though since it has too much ground pressure running like this.
The Soviet BT tanks were convertible tanks that could go treadless as it would engage the rearmost road wheels via a chain drive. It was designed "high speed on roads" and steered with the front road wheels. Though it was suppose to take something like 30 minutes to switch from the drive wheels of the tread to the road wheels. Christie Suspension had some advantages, though not many.
Since the Finnish BT-42 was based on the BT-7, it also has this feature, exploited here.
(Similarly the American T28/T95 Super Heavy Tank, could remove the outer tracks, as depicted in "der Film" however this was suppose to be done by hand and would take two hours...rather than by explosive bolt release and thirty seconds of screen time.)

How many action movies out there care about realism? ;D However if things get too crazy, then the audience loses its willing suspension of disbelief. It's a fine line that creators have to walk, and in the case of GuP, I stopped caring about total/complete realism somewhere after episode 2 as it won me over and has entertained me ever since.

An action movie can be boring but realistic, interesting and unrealistic or it can be a real story people don't believe because reality can't be that cool.
I'd only one I'd avoid is boring but realistic. Well except documentaries but I don't think they count as action movies in general.

This is the same movie that had a Karl-Gerät 040 somehow firing rounds that were rated for safety. You know despite the fact that said shells were bigger than some of the tanks in the match they were still perfectly safe.
