You're confusing 7 story tall mechas with a powersuit OP.

Its still a bad idea for obvious reasons though.

Its never been "unrealistic" Its a matter of it being practical.

I could kill that stupid thing and it's pilot with an m1, fuck a regular old hunting rifle.

Fuck.

i bet that shit cant even take a 308 to the knee without folding

>>32390314
It's being held up by a damned crane and it's plugged into the electrical mains for power.

>>32390412

lol haha screencapping this

It's still a retarded idea

Mechs will never be used in a military application outside of load bearing and warehouse duty.

Mechs and power armor is the future.

Taken down by a single RPG round to almost anywhere on the body, unlike a modern tank.

>false equivalencies: the post
Yeah nah, fuck off cunt.

Mechs are fucking retarded for frontline military service and operational capacity would be extremely limited. They're overcomplicated, require way more engineering and protection for what a tank could do.

>>32391248
I agree, mechs are fucking cool and will have use in load bearing or construction. Maybe auxillary military roles, but that's it.

Exosuits and powersuits are a different story though. A lot smaller, they work with the human form, it's not a giant walking target, it has uses in both combat and civilian applications.

People need to step back from Mech Warrior and Titanfall for a bit and look at the actual practical applications of mechs.

You don't have to be a scientist to realize that more weight = bad.

>>32390314
it is unrealistic, this in it's present state is useless, a more advanced version will only have use as a utility vehicle for transporting heavy shit to specific challenging places (potentially) and as a novelty item. For something military, some damage to the leg and it's disabled. Completely useless even if something stable and usable were created.

>>32392217
how do you think powered armour would work? The user would be piloting it too, with their natural movements.

Weight means jack shit unless you are using a bridge. Ground pressure matters.

I'd like to say that weight affects the top speed of a leg before it affects what kind of terrain it can stand on because legs have dynamic ground pressure unlike treads or wheels.

>>32392126
Nobody is saying it can't happen, we're saying it'll never be better than wheeled vehicles. Any technological advancement that could benefit mechs would also benefit cheaper, simpler, more efficient tanks or other armored vehicles. Literally the only thing that mechs could possibly do better is climb steeper inclines on uneven surfaces.

After seeing OP, I'm thinking more about applications in construction/fabrication rather than combat.

If that thing can haul a decent amount of weight, it will change industries.

Why bring tanks? Only a second to react!
Hell, even jets can be hit by them, so only a second to react!

There are MILLIONS of other fucking things going on in war. It's rarely ever a fucking bench shoot, and anything that "fucks" mechs would fuck everything else in our arsenal, so stop acting like its exclusive to mechs.

When i was a kid they were saying UAVs would never be armed and that its super challenging just to get a robot to be able to walk and we didn't know if we could even make it happen.

Power Armor is a suit, you wear it. Mech is the colloquial term for Walker Vehicle, you pilot it. It doesn't matter how big or small it is.

Alternatively it is also acceptable to use Mech to refer to the upper half of some humanoid vehicle that has been unceremoniously attached to some other movement system, such as a set of treads in place of legs or an array of rocket thrusters.

One of the old beyond 2000 episodes. I remember it clearly.

If you could make it so it aided a soldier's mobility and survivability a great deal, power armor could work pretty well. The power density thing is tricky, but i've heard there's some stuff going on in solid state lithium batteries that might do the trick.
