Nose heavy
editThe article makes a point of this particular deficiency of the vehicle. The accompanying photograph would seem to demonstrate this aspect very clearly. However. other photographs are available online and these tedn to show the vehicle in a much more 'level' attitude: Whilst fenders are still low to the track at the front, the rear ends are not so noticeably high & clear of the top of the idler.
This may suggest either a difference in weight disposition between the two postures (perhaps due to the addition of crew weight?) or possibly the effect of applying brakes in the case of the 'nose-down' photograph. It isn't clear what's happening or what's causing the difference.
Regard:

Is there anybody in the community who can shed light on this and perhaps use this information to fill out the article, for the sake of knowledge and full, unbiased fairness of representation? 2A00:23C7:3119:AD01:79FD:BF21:DB76:D93F (talk) 12:47, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
