What do I adjust on my suspension for the wheel to travel more and absorb more impact? I need to figure out what to set for a tank settup

    I was watching some videos of tank track and they just kinda "roll" over obstacles like a wave. I wanted to make sure the whole tank wouldn't bounce a lot after hitting something @AstleyIndustries

    Increase spring travel:
    - Spring traverse range is about half its height (default rotation)
    - Scale the springs Y value. This is stronger, more convenient to install and looks more realistic than stacking springs

    Impact absorption:
    - Tweak the strength and damper.
    - Strength is spring stiffness.
    - Damper affects the compression speed

    Tank suspension summary:
    - Tank suspension is strong and stiff.
    - Remember that tanks do not have springy suspension: the traverse of tank suspension is fairly low

    More travel = more suspension. You could probably stack two on eachother if needed. More damper = more absorbing, but don't set it to 250%. Slowly find the right spot by experimenting.
