* ThisIsADrill: The Ramdrill is made of diamond and can kill tanks absurdly quickly, but has the shortest range in the game and is mounted onto the hull rather than the turret.

->''Once upon a time, a bunch of self-aware main battle tanks decided that they had seen enough silly human conflicts for one lifetime, and decided to run off into the woods to have silly robot conflicts.''

!!''Tread Marks'' has examples of:

*AIIsACrapshoot: The self-aware battle tanks of both the USA and Russian Federation went AWOL and banded together to have fun shooting and racing each other.
*DenialOfDiagonalAttack: Tanks can freely spin their turret around 360 degrees, but cannot aim up or down, to encourage players to get into the fray rather than snipe.
*EverythingBreaks: Terrain is distorted by weapons fire - cannons create small pits, while nuclear missiles create enormous craters. Dirt Balls and Flower Power missiles build ''hills'' with their explosions.
*ExcusePlot: Aside from the paragraph-long backstory in the main menu, there is no storyline.
*GravityScrew: "The Moon" [[CaptainObvious takes place on the Moon]] and has 1/6th gravity, leading to tanks spinning wildly end over end when they hit a crater at 100kph.
*TheMonolith: "The Moon" is dotted with enormous Monoliths.
*MultiTrackDrifting: Drifting is the most efficient way of navigating tight corners in races. The tanks are also ''very'' fast.
*YouNukeEm: The guided nuclear missile is a rare weapon, but can instagib a dozen tanks at once.
