When speaking of the speed of tanks, first you should categorize which era of tanks. Tanks come in the categories of WWI, WWII, and Modern Tanks.

The WWI tank, mainly the Mark IV British tank, were the first of their kind. Considering that it was based off a tractor and was one of the first tanks ever, it would obviously come with flaws. One of these was a speed of four miles per hour. An average soldier could run faster.

The WWII tank increased in speed and included the rotating head, a contribution from the French. It traveled around eight miles per hour.

The current tank has increased in mobility. It can now move through much rougher turrain. It has a speed of 25 miles per hour.

Hope that could help!
