>>377416306
rule of cool

Because hauling a fusion reactor around allows you to power more weaponry by FAR than one tank can manage. Remember tanks are pretty much an anti-tank cannon and anti-infantry machine guns, your average mech doesn't even consider infantry when it's being designed because every other tank and mech will be firing at it. Having a mech is like having two Queens in chess, the thing is scary, it can move pretty quick across rough ground and it has a vertical perspective of the battlefield- let's face it, it's always better to be shooting down at things.

>>377416306
The most damning reason is that tanks and IFVs are not built for Orbital Drops, and a hydraulic system capable of making orbital drops would already put them halfway towards being mechs anyway.
Plus the fact that this is a universe in which battles are as likely to be ship-to-ship boarding actions in midair or empty space as they are to be fought on the ground. More importantly, space battles are likely the deciding points of large engagements, so armored mechanized units with the dexterity to grab hold and pull themselves into the enemy ship and bypass their armor and shielding are more effective than vehicles that are only meant for ground-based operations.

>>377416306
Because tanks are boring, slow garbage who only ww2 obsessed autists find interesting in the slightest and also tanks cant dodge.

That's one of the things I always liked about Battletech: tanks, planes, and infantry can fuck up battlemechs and are still heavily used in warfare. It's just that 'mechs are the most versatile of the four.

If you're spending the energy to launch mechs the distances at which space combat would take place, it might just make more sense to use the energy to launch munitions instead.

>>377416856
If you have mobile fusion reactor technology you could very easily attach the same amount, if not more weaponry to a tank chassis and have a 100x more reliable vehicle that isn't covered in massive fucking weak points in all its joints.
Not to mention the massive clusterfuck of having to deal with the sheer amount of pressure two massively heavy legs would produce. Can you imagine trying to move through sand, snow or most of all, fucking mud when you have 5x the weight of a tank all focused on two long, thin hunks of metal?
Plus, all those fucking flat surfaces are just begging to be goddamn annihilated by any kind of armor penetrating munition. Tanks are flat and either sloped or angled for a reason.

I like mechs, they look fucking cool in anime and video games, I still play Armored Core all the time. Bu if anyone ever thinks a tank-sized humanoid robot could be feasible IRL either has 0 knowledge of physics or is a massive fucking weeb.

Oh hi there mechfag, I'm just here caping your huge ass from 4 miles away while in complete stealth.

What makes a mech like a titan appealing is how absolutely dexterous and versatile it would be, basically. It's probably not going to beat tanks 1v1, but an enlarged human body is just about the most intuitive weapons system you could have.

You could punch through a building in just the right places, transport heavy equipment quickly, swap weapons for situations on the fly as they're in essence enlarged infantry weapons. It'd be a jack of all trades. The fatal flaw, of course, is that unless you have future space magic the armor would have to be far more thin than a tank.

In Brigador you can strap two of those on a lightweight mech and run around like a headless chicken picking fights with huge enemy mechs made out of scrap, high-tech mechs and mobile battle fortresses the size of a 6 story building with triple railguns (don't get hit by those).

>>377416306
The Titan is a sentient AI that connects with the pilot through a neural link, so presumably the human brain is best able to control a humanoid body since that's what the existing infrastructure is for.

In-universe, the apparent benefits of faster reaction time and greater precision while piloting apparently make up for the fact it's a biped frame.

Pilots are also equipped with jetpacks and in campaign your titan throws you really fucking far on multiple occasions in order to get over impassable terrain or flank.

Being higher up and with limbs that can stomp or crush enemy Pilots is also an advantage, since in-game it would be fucking trivial to rodeo tanks as a 60kph pilot.

On the loading screen of Homestead, Titans are shown being used as farm tools. It seems they are used for all sorts of other jobs.

>>377423936
Probably, if the goal is to just keep hammering get each other until somebody goes down. However, in Titanfall the big bad is a giant corporation; it's not that big of a stretch to believe that early on in the conflict, capturing or disabling enemy ships was higher priority, especially since a lot of Militia ships were actually stolen from the corporation. Conversely, the Militia would want to capture enemy ships in order to bolster their lacking fleet.
As another point, mechs are far more equipped to deal with countermeasures like intercept-missiles and point-defense than any cost-effective missile, can cause far more damage when they get aboard, and can then be retrieved and used again.

Your argument is "physics"?

Is that your final answer, dumbshit? That better not be your final answer, because "physics" isn't the problem. We can physically build mechs. The problem is energy logistics. Batteries aren't up to snuff yet and combustion engines just really don't gel well enough with the concept.

>We can physically build mechs.

But can these mechs perform like in video games?

>>377427650
While you're making the tank fly, why not add arms and legs to help it land without trashing the treads? Oh shit, because then it would be a mech.

>>377426945
No, because a jet fighter makes perfect sense if you understand physics and aerodynamics.

You're assuming that some unknown future technology will make moving a several hundred ton humanoid robot quickly and dexterously, but going by that assumption you could likely put the same technology into an updated tank design and it would be smaller, easier to maintain, cheaper and have just as potent weaponry.

There is no combat scenario in which taking a tank, putting joints on it and raising it 40+ feet into the air makes any kind of sense.

No it isn't. Even if you had a generator capable of powering something that massive without making your mech even more comically heavy, you still have the problem of focusing hundreds of tons of weight on two narrow legs.

Something that size would easily bust down into pavement, god forbid you walk over a fuel/sewer pipeline, and outside of urban areas you'd be fucked on any kind of soft surface.

Which is why planes don't have landing gear, right? Because that sort of thing would never work. The planes would just burrow straight into the earth's core if they had a 3-point landing gear supporting all that weight!

The grappling hook is only one of the many ways to go fast in this game, but most of the webms include grapple because it looks cool, it yields the highest speed out of any single item (though you can go even faster with a combination of things) and mostly that it is by far /tfg/'s favorite item. Almost all of us use it. And after you get going fast, you can maintain that speed pretty much indefinitely if you're good.

Cool greentext, too bad it doesn't apply or help your arguments. When someone comes in and starts talking and acting like a retard, calling them out on their retardation is perfectly acceptable.

You have no understanding of physics.
You have no understanding of tactics.
Both of which you argued to be the core of why mechs can't/shouldn't exist.

>jetfighter makes perfect sense if you understand physics and aerodynamics
is just utter fucking bullshit. Tell me how a harrier flies without looking it up, motherfucker. Go on, assface shitbugger.

Then you go on to wretch about how mechs shouldn't exist because we could theoretically drop SOME of that stuff into something that rolls around on the ground and gets completely fucked up by stairs or steep inclines. HOLY SHIT. Do you know that tanks and jets exist in the same fucking universe? DID YOU KNOW THAT TANK TACTICS INCLUDE USING INFANTRY AS BACKUP?

No, because you're a stupid fucking moron that thinks he's an authority on something when he doesn't know SHIT about it. Fuck off.

When an argument goes completely over your fucking head, because YOU are fucking retarded, that doesn't take the wind out of the argument -- it means YOU are fucking retarded and need to stop talking, you dumbshit motherfucker.

Wheel with mostly horizontal force vs column of steel with mostly downward force.
Good comparison guy.

>>377430070
But my original point was that if you had the technology to make a mech mechanically and physically feasible you'd be able to very easily apply that same tech to a tank that could traverse fucking rocks while still being a fraction of the cost and size while maintaining proven reliability and combat capability.

But instead of refuting that statement, all you've done is resort to name calling and ad hominem, then starting rambling about tanks in space (?)

>instead of wheels which get easily stuck
I'm pretty sure the sheer weight of a mech being focused on 2 points would cause all fucking kinds of issues getting stuck. A mech would never be able to walk over a sewer system or tunel system as it would likely come crashing in due to it's weight being so focused, and as a result, stuck. Soft ground means the mech sinks in, a tank or any other treaded vehicle would easily pass over. I fucking love mechs, but realistically, they're impractical as hell. The only realistic compromise IMO would be a mechs upper torso sitting on tank treads, or possibly a spider-leg sort of system if you absolutely need to have legs on it.

>>377431552
If you can build a mecha like that, you'd probably be able to build a tank that'd singlehandedly shit on a whole division equipped with ATGMs

>>377431552
Modern tanks aren't exactly slow either though. If we're talking fictional futureshit, I'd imagine they'll be even faster so it's still irrelevant.

>>377431552
>provided it is as mobile as vidya tends to depict them as.

Well, they won't.

>>377431697
A tank could never be as mobile as a bipedal weapons platform. Treads are great for most terrain, but when you literally have legs that can scale, leap and bound around, treads are pretty clumsy in comparison.

>>377431895
If you're sufficiently advanced to build a bipedal mech big enough to carry weapons that can rival an MBT that can quickly scale buildings/cliffs without breaking a sweat, you can most likely just build hover tanks instead

>>377431809
You are the equivalent of the faggot that went "What's this automobile bullshit? We have horses, and they can work as well as offer transportation!"

>>377432074
Negating gravity is a much bigger physics problem than creating a functional mech.

Why don't they just get rid of the legs and put the mech on treads then replace the arms with large guns/cannons?

>>377432110
Do you believe in magic too?

>>377431780
>Hovertech
Anti-gravitational flat designed tank skimmers would be fucking devastating to deal with. See:
>>377431349

The fact remains that a mech despite arguments of speed capability a mech has too many weak points, and maintaining that said speed AND enough firepower to pierce the armor on these hybrid tanks would not be possible unless the mech was of a heavier design to carry the sufficient weaponry but even so you would still have the weaknesses from the connecting joint and cockpit areas, it literally cannot compete. Disagree? Even Japanese game developers acknowledge this for fucks sake.

>>377432269
Also, why not do away with the head, as it's a stupidly big target and make the torso somewhat boxier

>>377432328
No, but I do believe in human ingenuity, while you obviously do not.

>>377432189
If fuel isn't a problem, because of some crazy tech breakthrough, than it is not, mechs regardless of the tech level will always be less sound from a tactical stand point, you can't argue that.

Even "mechs in real life" threads on /m/ don't have this many delusional people.

>>377432468
>If fuel isn't a problem

>>377431552
Mecha definitely won't be mobile thanks to inertia, square cube labs, massive profile, and the need to rely on fucking shitty ass legs for locomotion.

>Even Japanese game developers acknowledge this for fucks sake.

>>377431895
Realistically, a mech wouldn't be able to do any of this.

>scale
Scale what? The weight of a mech would pull down walls of buildings if it tried to scale them, and pull stone from cliff faces when trying there. It would need very deep anchors to effectively scale anything relevant. Any scenario where the ground is not possible for ground troops generally means you won't be using ground troops, you would use aerial vehicles like helicopters.

>leap and bound around
Not in urban environments unless they are specifically designed for mechs to be sprinting and hopping about. If things aren't designed for it, you will almost immediately see mechs fall through the ground into sewer and tunnel systems, where they will now likely be stuck. Focusing that much weight into at most, two points is a bad idea, and a mech walking means a lot of that weight will be focused into one point quite frequently, they would even struggle on normal dirt terrain as they would have issues sinking and digging very deeply into the ground when moving.

>treads are pretty clumsy in comparison
I don't see how they would be as they spread the weight over a large area not only providing stability for the tank itself, but also reducing stress on the roads and terrain it is passing over.

In the real world, mechs would weigh a shitload, and fiction never really seems to factor this in.

>>377432906

it's almost like anti-armor weapons are anti-armor or something

>>377433908
I don't know what you want to hear but in the game tanks can stay mobile while shooting in all directions with a way larger gun than mechs can carry. They also have better armor and are faster (hover tanks). So it gets pretty one-sided.

>>377434031
If you seriously think he's right, you might be legally retarded.

>>377433850
How is it less tactically sound if it is infinitely more mobile? A bigger profile counts for less when you can simply sidestep projectiles or even hit the deck like a human would.

>>377433664
If such materials can be developed, why not use it in tanks? You now have even faster tanks, which could even potentially have some minor flight/hover capabilities, meaning they can scale most obstacles a tank wouldn't be able to now. Tank tech isn't just going to magically stop progressing if mechs suddenly exist. Plus, you would need some crazy fucking lightweight materials to make mechs not have all those issues, as I could even see the issues persisting with lightweight mechs, as all of the weight is still focused. You would need to reduce the weight down to something like that of a modern car for some of those issues to start going away, and at that point I think we'll be well beyond the need for mechs.

Power armor on the other hand is a lot more likely to be functional than mechs, though it's not even that likely to ever see use as the armor would never be thick enough to make it worth having. Powered exoskeletons are probably the closest thing we will ever see to mechs that the military will use in the real world.

Like this guy said, the force is being transferred in line with the wheel and disperses as it rolls down a 300+ yard runway. A mech would be dealing with considerably more force due to its weight, and then has to apply even more force to push off that leg to lift the other.

That kind of defeats the purpose of having a mech though, and you're not going to sidestep incoming projectiles, they tend to move faster in real life than they do in video games.

You know planes are designed to take of and land on runways right? You know how they don't tend to do so well on things that aren't runways? It's because those other things aren't built to have planes land on them. Plus there's the horizontal factor, the force coming in on a landing is very light on the ground, and is very slowly applied, it's not just instantly thrust straight down as a mechs weight would be in taking a single step, you can forget running or leaping.

Hey fags, indirect fire installations and aerial drones are the future of warfare. Both tanks and mechs (that won't even see the light of day) will be obsolete.

This. Who gives a damn about realism when you can have a giant robot punching other giant robots and smushing stupid grunts with your giant robot feet. Also when the mecha is fast and not slow, and also has the votom wheelie legs it's the best.

>>377434873
Why have the need to dive into cover when you can just be in something that's already low profile? Plus I'd imagine the force and weight behind a mech diving would end up getting it stuck in the ground and things more times than not.

>>377435171
Yeah, that's true, but kind of boring to argue about, I guess.

>>377434331
Well you think tanks are better so who's a retard and who isn't is really fucking obvious.

>>377435269
But that something with a low profile does not have the mobility advantages of the mech. The mech can lower its profile, but the tank can't grow legs.

>>377433664
The actual biggest issues are size and cost.

If there was some miracle material like that, you could use it to build a fleet of highly mobile, reliable, low profile and potently armed tanks for the cost of constructing one gigantic mech.

Not to mention how fucking difficult and long the maintenance would be on something of that magnitude, If it took one hit to a joint you'd probably be looking at a layover time of 4-5 months at least before it was functional again.

>>377435641
The thread is full of examples, but tankfags shoot them down with "Well they can't do that now, so they can't do it in the future!"

>>377435641
Tanks can't handle any terrain besides smooth flat surfaces and obviously there is real uses for high profiles, making mechs the superior machine

>>377435641
see >>377433423

tanks can only operate under specific conditions and cant move sideways or engage in close quarters combat unless they have a large buffer of infantry units for support

Yeah, everyone's laughing at you.

A tank with the same tech as a meh will be faster, better armored, can carry a larger cannon and with a faster reload and be better off road. The only variant of mech that's remotely viable is small infantry exosuits

>>377435779
This is true, I posted supporting tanks with such technology and it got shot down, wtf.

>>377432390
How do you know the sufficient weaponry to fuck up tanks is as large and cumbersome in the hypothetical future as it is now?

>>377435875
But mechs would step through most terrain and get stuck or significantly slowed. Not being able to immediately change to the horizontal seems to be a decent tradeoff to moving slower or being completely immobilized. Plus being lower profile means being less of a target when navigating out of the problem spot.

>>377435914
>A tank with the same tech as a meh will be faster, better armored, can carry a larger cannon and with a faster reload and be better off road.
Only proving my point with that laughable idea.
Tankfags are as bad as doomfags who insist that classic doom is the best video game ever.

>>377436027
tanks have the same amount of "joints" that disable movement that mechs do

if you destroy a tank's tracks, even just one it cant move effectively
same thing for a mech - take out one knee and it cant move effectively

If everyone can carry a pocket AT gun mechs will be reduced to little more than expensive coffins as well, you know?

>>377436251
So I take it you have absolutely no idea about how vehicles work?

>>377435821
How does a mech handle them better though? A tank could drive over some pretty uneven terrain, even an area with fallen trees, a mech would stumble. Hell, a mech would thrust its feet deep into soil when taking steps, making normal land bad terrain for it, and it would likely put its feet through roads into sewer systems and pipelines in urban scenarios, thus making it clumsy. I don't see how these are advantages.

>>377436263
Only difference is with a mech if you take out a knee it still has 3 limbs to hobble on, check mate tanks

>>377436330
So I take it you have no idea what you're talking about?

Thank missile hits and explodes directly into the mecha (Total articulated machine, if you know what this means) and nothing happens.

then again mechs are pipe dream in and of themselves

I mean, I'm shit talking mechs a lot, but I really do love em. It's just they're in no way something that would ever realistically happen. Snow shoes would be a start, but would pretty much cut the mobility factor, unless you can still move very quickly in them. At that point you're better off in a tank anyway.
