No, this is.
That is actually a Japanese cartoon made to pander to autistic little boys with delusions of grandeur.

Is this a good representation of how mechs would perform on the battlefield?
>>32344565
No, and there will never be
>>32344761
yes, quite
A pickup truck carrying a guy with AT missiles in the bed could have performed that maneuver just as well at several orders of magnitude less the cost.

Wrong you fucking racist. he's clearly Swedish.

the only sensible depiction of gundam type walker mechs is seen in code geass because they have provisions to use the wheel to moove fast and energy efficiently when needed.

I can't imagine that would work half as well in real life.

ofc not, you'd need bigger wheels than what were basically in line skates in CG but the idea is good. it wouldn't be difficult to use two big off road wheels on each leg.
>>32344565
Nah, this is.

To understand how mechs will work on the battlefield you have to figure out what they're good at.
I figure they'll end up basically being up-sized infantry. Something that's extremely adaptable and can maneuver in terrain without bogging down as much as tracked/wheeled vehicles. Adjustable profiles, quick changing munitions, and probably sophisticated sensor suites.
I doubt they'd be particularly survivable - probably only armored up against 20mm or so, but they'd still be fantastic regardless. They could carry 120mm anti-tank rifles like actual rifles, and switch to a 20mm autocannon the same way a soldier might trade an M4 for an M14 if it happens to be worth doing.
So basically just upsized infantry with more armor and weapons.
