here is my modded maps in zip-archive for testing
propulsion changes.
Note: "Truck" renamed to "Truck (mod cmb01)" - to notice you are playing mod
in some cases you can select wrong map, and if you dont see "Truck (mod cmb01)", you need rehost right map

Reasons why propulsion was changed you can see in this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=42&t=9051
in short:
1) Wheeled propulsion was useless, with this patch wheels can become again useless OR it can become good and competitive to half-tracks and hover
2) Tracked propulsion was used rare, but by my opinion we should have more slow and strong units in game
*tracks was impoved a bit, it does not affect any tactics in game, but player with tracked tanks now can make tanks a bit faster (~3-5%) and and with a bit lesser price (~3-5%)
3) Hover propulsion was very effective, with this patch hover tank get slower speed, but it still much faster than all other land propulsion
possibly new strategies:
1) Hit&Run with rockets on wheeled propulson
it can be effective against cannons or rockets on half-tracks
2) flamers on viper wheels as alternative of flamer cyborgs
3) cannons on tracked propulsion (weight of tracked was decreased)
4) in some cases you dont need research half-tracks and you can push enemy with wheeled tanks
but you should know: wheeled tanks fast on road, but slow on another ground
