You’d think Russia, China or North Korea would’ve made something like this by now
Imagine being Russian and having a set of power armorI’d specifically target women and Reddit volunteers and tear them apart with my modified hands, and force them to scream >does the narwhal bacon?! Huh?!>downvote THIS, bitch!
because that would cost money
>>472810526Because who cares about cannon fodder?
>>472810526it makes one soldier way too hard to kill, a huge reason for wars is population control.
>>472810526Because the technology to make power armor like in Starship Troopers, Fallout, and War Thunder is still in it's infancy and hardly practical.
>>472810526because infantry already have end-game equipment for infantry combat.there's no amount of wearable armor that you can strap on a person to make them iron man through small arms fire of sufficient caliber. so it's pointless. all effort is on combat at a distance. artillery, then rockets, now drones, soon walker drones because the flying ones cant carry big guns, but there's no point to develop "battle armor" or bigger hand held guns. we hit the end of the tech tree in 1947.
>>472810526Soldiers are more expensive than you think, power supply isn't feasible, armor isn't that much of an upgrade for the cost to mobility and profile. Explosions can still pulp the guy inside because he doesn't have a vehicle to absorb the effects.
you mad this thread yesterday sweaty its retarded , expensive and impractical
>>472810526Individual soldiers will never be worth the investment of a powerwed suit.They're cheap, and easily replaced by chinese junk drones.
>>472810526>THE CYBER SHOE
>>472811892Or or orIt makes 1 soldier capable of KILLING a lot
>>472810526They're called vehicles.
power armor for combat is retarded. power armor for logistics is probably on it's way if we ever make batteries that aren't shit.
>>472812564What, like making a high tech pack mule?
>>472812406US army spends $60k to train a single fucking infantry man you utter retard.
>>472810526They are dumb numerous and they can't trusted with a properly made weapon you trained them for, why the fuck you want this one use things?
>>472810526They probably have, but everything is super double top secret because all their countries dont want the other countries to know that their mech capabilities are crap.
>>472812616They spend more on toilets.
>>472810526The battlefield is now demographic. The US was defeated without a shot fired.
>>472812612one of the big VA claims are from people that have to haul ammo around. Being able to more effectively move ammo for big guns would help a lot.
why not just have flamethrower boots instead? guys walk with their feet pointed outwards a bit, so no issue of running into flames. literally just pimp-walk a bit with your ruck sack, get used to it, and now you have soldiers with flamethrower boots who are also wielding normal rifles
