Dayyyyyum son! Thats a serious drift! Imagine if it could actually battle making maneuvers like that it would be harder to hit possibly.

Meh, tank drifting is old. EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE of tank drift I have seen is in traction compromising situations. Let me know if you find video otherwise. Even a shitbox car can drift if there is poor traction.

Actually, yes it is sort of. One ways that a tank can turn is by turning one track, and keeping the other track stationary. I don't know about modern tanks, but in older tanks the opposite track was described as being locked. The technique can be seen in this video (warning mute before playing) with a BMD2 Russian battle taxi.
