Some of us want spider tanks and powered armor, but in general:
Mars and space: possible by converting humanoid limbed construction exosuits or something becoming a staple due to comfort or something. The lower gravity helps, but would only stay if it found a niche or it was just more feasible to convert the construction vehicles into military units. Just don't expect it.
Earth: highly unlikely to laughable in concept that it would happen because tanks are lucky to still be used as artillery.

Giant robot are really cool though.

To me, cool factor is the main ingredient in mecha, while realism is just a spice or condiment. Adding some realism to the mix can greatly enhance the cool factor, but too much realism and it's ruined. You don't want the main ingredient buried under the pile of condiments, you know.

problems to over come why we still don't have gundams today:
problem 1: we cannot even produce anything kind of computing on par with any complex brains of today, they tried and experimented with 10000+ cpu cores and a super computer linked up VM to simulate basic full motion control of live animals last year, it took them 40 min to simulate 1 sec of a human brain, around 25 to 30 min for 1 sec of a rat

problem 2: cost of research is too much, when even MURRICA have no money for NASA to go back to the moon, what hope can you get them to make terminator into real life?

problem 3: why bother when man power is still cheap as fuck, even the army admit that it's cheaper to pay out for dead soldiers that's KIA than to keep them alive, this is why the MURRICUNT army refused to give their soldiers better armors then the piece of shit that they strap on them and make them run around getting shot in iraq

The Centurion was really good for an early MBT though.
That one Centurion that was used for a nuke test, it survived the nuke and was driven back to base under its own power.
The Chieftain had a terrible engine, which is mostly due to the people in charge not changing it for a proper diesel engine when everyone else jumped off the multi-fuel engine train after realising that its a bad idea. NATO's requirement for a multi-fuel engine at the time was retarded and the Chieftain paid the price for it with its terrible engine.

Good luck using a tracked or wheeled vehicle in a shelled out city with debris strewn about in tiny streets originally intended for foot traffic only. There is a reason infantry are still the kings of urban combat.

FYI: the army expects all major combat operations to be conducted within sprawling large cities with poor infrastructure. Sending any sort of traditional wheeled or tracked vehicle into the environment is suicide, a lesson the Israeli's learned back in the 80s.

No one ever "like" something because it is "feasible or practical".

Why would ANYONE think "it is feasible and practical!" is any kind of selling point? You use what is practical, but practicality isn't meant to be loved.

Why do you think people love peculiar cars and tanks that have a personality, despite having deep engineering flaws? Romanticism is not necessarily contrary to practicality, but they are generally not related.

Here is an example of a real life mecha; the SWORD system. A gun on tracks.

I generally didn't care much for the weapon, but I started to feel some attachment to the guy when I heard what got it cancelled; on the day of its demonstration in front of VIPs, it went out of control and pointed the loaded gun AT the VIPs during the trial. Thus the drone is a piece of shit and can't be trusted. But that flaw makes it cute.

>>13856827
>Why would ANYONE think "it is feasible and practical!" is any kind of selling point?

It's not.

But when something is too stupid people stop taking it seriously. And mechas often are too stupid.

This is perfectly fine for super robot shows that never even pretended to be realistic in any way. But when you have a mecha show that tries to be a serious war drama but with giant toys fighting it just becomes silly.

Armored vehicles are of course very vulnerable in urban terrain, but infantry alone gets fucking slaughtered in urban warfare by infantry with armored support. Unsupported infantry takes like three times the casualties.

People forget that the same ambush tactics that work on vehicles work even better on unsupported infantry, since you can use machine guns and grenades instead of rocket launchers only.

Get back there with that Goalpost mister, I'm warning you !

Put aside that exoskeletons are already a thing, not a maybe, "giant" is too vague and a humanoid is a purely aesthetic criteria with no grip on what could be.
A 20m tall humanoid mech can turn out to be technically feasible even if we actually end up preferring Octopus-mech.

Front Mission stuff looks neat, but mechs seem like they'd be scarier if they came out in real life. Robots, I'm sure someone'll find a way to make like some sort of living doll thing, but mechs? If they were just used for war, then that's lame. It'd be nice, and I'm hopeful, for some cleanup or maintenance mechs for things too dangerous for humans, which doesn't seem too far off considering all the bots we have doing that now.

>>13861535
do you fucking realize how big 20m is dude, a 20m tall ground vehicle is a giant ass target why would you ever build something that is that huge god damn, maybe a ship or an aircraft, but something that moves on land holy shit man it wont be able to get anywhere and will be slow as shit.
