I mentioned "MMP" for a purpose. Mean maximum pressure is a much better, widely accepted indicator for the ability to negotiate soft terrain. It does not like nominal ground pressure depend on track area and weight only, but on the mean maximum pressure peaks below the wheels. The quantity of wheels is important.

And btw, the Russian tanks have significantly lower nominal ground pressure as well. They CAN negotiate softer ground and that's what I mentioned.
