please correct me if im wrong

Correct on not violating a rule (unless unforeseen results happen).

Correct on turning like a tank.

However, moving sideways will be horribly inefficient, due to the amount of traction generated by the treads. You may even get enough to destroy the treads, or break them loose from their attachments. At that point, consider mecanum or omni wheels, as either will allow you to go sideways.
