I mean it’s a tank… what did you expect it to do? Age is almost a useless descriptor. It’s a giant tracked vehicle made to traverse major terrain.

Edit - def read that wrong in the doof ty for catching

I get the feeling you think the tank is 98 years old.

To be fair...

veteran Ken Turner used a Sherman tank, one of the most widely used tanks used by the US and its western allies against the Nazis in World War II

...the tank is WWII-era as well as its driver, so it's at least 68 years old. (According to Wikipedia, the M4 Sherman was produced between 1942 and 1957.) Not 98, but definitely an antique.
