I completely agree with this under normal circumstances. In T2K I think the calculus is a bit different.
- Tracked AFVs have pretty high maintenance needs. Even if you've got the supplies and technical ability to maintain them that's a lot of effort for slow fuel guzzling armor.
- AFVs would have been the main targets during the main fighting of the war. By the time of the game they'll be pretty rare.
- Even after the major fighting has died down, at the time of the game an AFV would be definitely be the targets worth spending an equally rare anti-armor weapon on.
The resources required to keep tracked AFVs running will put a strain on any group post-TDM. Their benefits will be greatly outweighed by their cost.
