What are military applications of mechs? Logistics and engineering?
your computer games arent real life
>>64317139idk mechs are just very big expensive targets
>killed by a 100 dollar drone
>>64317139Getting laughed at by actually useful tools.
>>64317280A single mech could replace all engineering and construction vehicle types, on top of the fact they can defend themselves.
>>64317307>A single mech could replace all engineering and construction vehicle typesAt a greater cost than all of those vehicles combined.
>>64317139Oh look it's the usual slide thread, we were expecting you a while ago.Too lazy to find the post but someone literally predicted this thread being made not long ago
/k/, Metal Gear Solid is never becoming reality, just get over it already jeez
>>64317307No it can't, you don't understand how ground contact or torsion works because you haven't ever left your childhood bedroom. Now seethe for 469 posts and make a new thread after mommy changes your diaper
>>64317354It's literally a slide thread anon. All it has to do is take up space and it's a success. Just look at the catalog.I'm guessing a certain dying gas station of a nation just had another embarrassment.
>>64317462i know you're paid to say that, but holy fuck is that gay
>>64317475Yeah I'm getting paid to call you a fat retard. What's it like having a brain the size of a walnut tubby
>>64317521its funny how you poor types use fat as an insult while you're half starvedsure, in places like the US its an insult, yet being called fat by an ethiopian just doesn't sting
>>64317551Okay fatass. Run along now (oops you can't)
>>64317139There you are mech slide thread! I was expecting you yesterday, what was the holdup?
>>64317139Implessive
>>64317623lol mad
Its the same fag that spams the 40k and mech threads here isn't it.
>>64317139The current problems:>fuel/power source to last lpng enough for field operations>making giant mechs that have any sort of speed isnt feasible>weight distribution with legged mechs isn't viable yet>mechs be heavy and delicate, one blast to any moving part and its fucking done>range of movement is still not suited for combat, still very rigid>vehicles are easier to learn than piloting a machine with hundreds of moving parts AND coordinating all those parts to move AND to fight>expensive and not cost effective at all compared to just making tanks or other such assault vehicles>repairs wpuld be ungodly hard to do, and acquire in a warThere's probably more, but those are the big ones. Mechs just ain't viable yet, dude. They probably wont ever be. Other fighting systems are just plain better currently.
Probably nothing, maybe moving boxes in a warehouse.
>>64318616Why are you moving loose boxes and not pallets? Are you Russian?
>>64317670Fat boy lol
>>64317139I would absolutely hate working on a piece of shit project like this.Just think of how many pinch points there are and how impossible it would be to prevent any of the parts from moving under their own weight.Now imagine repairing it if anything goes wrong
>>64317139
>>64318776idk man i've never worked in a warehouse, that's just the only spot i really see use for mechs.
>>64319006as a warehouse monkey, I'll give you a hint-
>>64317307No they could not, and no they could not either.
>>64319067well yeah i figured that out when you mentioned pallets. but yeah mechs are kinda stupid for most everything. automating forklifts or similar equipment or at least removing as many operators from locations as possible makes the most sense because we already designed around equipment
The closest thing to a combat mech we would get would likely be a human shaped drone that is designed to replace human operators while we are in an interim period between manned and unmanned systems.
>>64319392those will be robocentaurs
